Stella watched Ria and Kane with a fond smile. Ria was sitting on Kane's shoulders, she had her hands on his head as she tried to push herself up to see the stone walls ahead for them. Kane look unaffected by this, but he did have a small smile on his face.
The gates slowly opened, making the gears inside the wall groan. Stella felt her tail curl around herself as she saw people walking in the streets. She walked her horse right behind Kane and Ciara, she slightly glanced back when she didn't see Rain trotting right beside her. He stared at the gate as it quickly slammed back into place.
The groups came to a stop, finding a place to tie the horses. Stella was few paces behind the group, more focused on looking around at the army walking around. She had also continuously glancing up to the sky to see if she could find the familiar blue scholar of Frostbourne.
"So what happened to Lady Azura?" Stella pulled the reins back, slowing the horse down. Her interest in the guards gossip was suddenly very fascinating to her.
"She's in the Hospital-Wing right now, I heard from Jen that she got a bad scar from the lightning" Stella felt her stomach twist with worry. She pulled back on reins again, turning the horse around and galloping towards the the Hospital-Wing.
Unbeknownst to her was a small little purple hound running after her.
She pulled the reins back again when she had come to the Hospital-Wing, stopping the horse. She quickly hopped off of Snowball and tying her to the fence, next to some hay.
She quickly ran into the building, running past patients, doctor, and visitors. She spotted the reception desk and ran towards it. She put her hands in front of her, barely stopping her from running right into the desk. She scared the man behind the desk and the people in line for the desk.
"Where's Azura!?" Stella basically screamed at the man, surprising him a second time.
"Fifth room on the right" the man said, point at the hallway to his left. He sent a weird glance to her horns but she ignored it and ran down the hall, counting the rooms as she went.
She took a turn into the fifth room, running past a few doctors and patients as she went to the back of the room. She immediately spotted the familiar blue haired scholar, noticing her hair was a lot shorter then normal. A doctor with a strange mask stood next to her, looking over her arm.
"Azura!" Stella yelled, running towards her bed. Azura looked over to Stella, she barley had a minute to prepare for Stella bone crushing tackle hug.
"Hello Stella!" Azura said, laughing as she hugged Stella back, tightly.
"Are you okay!? I heard you got hit by lightning! What happened?" Stella pulled away from Azura, looking over at her arm.
"Wasn't fast enough..." Azura sighed, then shook her head, "when did you get back? What happened to you?"
"Not too long ago, me and Rain brought some company as well! And this... well I tell you later" Stella said, side glancing at the doctor who had pulled down their mask. No doubt eyeing Stella's black skin and strange eyes.
"You said you had brought company with you?" Stella nodded, while she grabbed Azura scared hand with both of hers. She began to run her fingers over the scarring on the back of her hand, carefully watching for any signs of pain.
"Is that why you brought a hellhound with you?" Stella looked up from her hand and stared at the scholar for a few seconds confused, until Azura gestured behind her with her unoccupied hand.
She turned her head, finding Ria standing behind her sniffing a little EndDancer that Stella hadn't even noticed. He looked to only be a few inches taller then Ria, but he was leaning forward, making himself looking smaller. His tail was in a downward hop, his ear up curiously at Ria, while Ria's tail wagged slowly for once. Her head was titled to the side as she curiously sniffing Boo.
