A Warm Welcome

Stepping into the bricks and cobbles with his party of girls, Raven stopped the flow of time for everyone who was working inside. They stood on the spot frozen, their eyes staring at the mage but their minds were struggling to catch up. However, after a quick wave of his hands, Diane's whole family impulsively began to smile.

"Thank god, I didn't know if you'd be back!" Lana heaved with a heavy heart. Much like the rest of the kingdom, she wasn't informed about the party's accomplishment much less about whether or not they were still alive.

Rushing over to the group beaming, both Daine and Zoey grabbed Raven by the hand. Pulling him further in, the smiles on their faces reflected just how overjoyed both of them were.
