Chapter 75

We ran for around half an hour and to my surprise no one gave chase, and the arcanists that had been flinging techniques at us quickly went out of range.

To my relief, Sandra and Misty were already at the gathering area when Lily and I arrived, which made sense since they were both faster than me, especially Misty who could probably outrun us all, except for maybe Elder Kaylin.

"Oh thank god," I said as I panted. "Good to see you two."

Misty didn't reply, instead choosing to bowl me over in a hug. I returned it awkwardly, not really sure of what to do.

"I'm so glad your alright," she muttered, and I felt a familiar warmth bloom in my chest. One I'd only ever felt with Zirani before.

Misty let go, and Sandra moved in to give me a quick hug and peck on the lips. The warmth in my chest increased at her touch.

"What was that for?"

She shrugged. "Just glad to see you made it, those explosions sure did a lot more damage than I thought."
