Rats
Archer glanced at the pink-haired girl, her narrowed eyes fixed on him. As they all sat down, he answered honestly, "No, Nefi. We've been fighting Ratlings along the way."
Nefertiti smiled as she took her seat. Teuila initiated the conversation, saying, "I'm glad to see all of you are okay. You won't believe how well my mother's birthday celebration went. She was very happy."
Ella spoke up with a smile on her face, "That's good to hear, Teuila. My mother has been helping the Dragon Kin women with the children."
Nefertiti leaned forward, her mischievous smile and gleaming eyes fixed on Archer.
Excitedly, she exclaimed, "Guess what, my love? I passed my tests! The trials were tough, but I made it through and kept my promise to return to you."
Archer smiled and congratulated Nefertiti, saying, "Well done, Nefi. I'm proud of you."
