Saving her

Axel got defensive and wanted to check who that person was but before he could walk further, Dara came out of hiding on her own.

Dara came out of the woods as though she was surrendering. The moment she saw Nero, she could not believe her eyes and that was what prompted her to speak.

"I'll take you to the portal," she told them but Nero did not seem interested in the slightest.

"Dara... I sensed your presence since this man was brought here. You should know that standing in front of me can be dangerous." Nero did not like the sight of the so-called gods in Elysium. To him, all of them were enemies of his.

"The portal is all that matters." Dara's head was lowered slightly when she said this. She knew just how much Nero resented gods and she knew that she wasn't an exception either.
