Hopeful Tactical Retreat
It didn't pass a minute from when Eric had seen the smoke in the sky that Rubra was next to him.
Only to assure Eric's safety... it definitely was not to check if Niura dared to go over the established terms of the prize.
For this genuine reason, she stayed within the range of her unique spying ability.
This way, she could immediately act when she heard Eric think about the possible cause behind the smoke high in the sky.
Rubra proceeded to wake Eve from her sweet reverie and sent her scouring pieces of information flying through the air.
The reason behind this choice was quite easy-to-understand.
Eve was the most apt individual for the job: she had advanced flight and camouflage skills.
Herself and Nemesis had the first kind, but regarding the second type of skills, not having yet bonded that deeply with the goddess, the young phoenix felt the most comfortable relegating the job to the recently hateful, blissfully happy dragoness.
