"Our deepest apologies, we will take care of the rest from here on out." Leo and the zodiacs bow to the teams.

"Thank you for saving us." Libra guiltily smiles.

"We are glad to return you guys in your right state of mind." Namjoon responds. "There's no need to be in debt."

"No," Virgo walks over, holding an ominous crystal. "Please, this is what we can do for you. We wish we could provide food for you supernaturals, but our hospitality is at its poorest."

"Don't worry about that. We have greater problems to look out for." Seungcheol is quick to assure them. They all nod, a gentle smile appearing. It's obvious they're stressed and guilty, lost due to the absence for centuries in this world.

"Do those things talk?" Hansol squints at the paired fishes.

Everyone hears Yoongi scoff. "I wouldn't be surprised if they did."

"Consider it telepathic magic." The fishes speak, startling everyone.

   Aquarius steps up with a guilty expression, looking around. "I don't know who I fought with, but that siren... he's really a fighter." She acknowledges. "I saw the pain he went through. From the present and past. I'm so sorry about him." She bows. Soobin and Hueningkai along with the sirens know what the water bearer may be talking about. They exchange solemn expressions.

"We hope the fae is safe and well, an eel form is not one we taint with— we haven't seen lightning faes in a while." Pisces informs everyone. The teams raise brows in shock, looking at Jungwon who stiffens, lost in thoughts.

"The dragon boy is admirable. I'm sure even if I apologized, he'd be up for another fight." Aries locks eyes with Jay, the dragon grinning. "Are all dragons like this?"

   The boy shakes his head. "Perhaps, but I'm the son of the fire dragon king, Icarus." Aries is fascinated by the information.

"Ah, well, I haven't seen your father for quite some time. He was still a hatchling by then."

Taurus reveals himself. He's not an actual bull, but part of a Minotaurian breed. "The werewolf is unimaginably pure light. Not even a touch of darkness harmed him. I'm left speechless and amazed." He bows again.

Two twins fly around, spiraling Hueningkai. "He was scary!" The girl laughs.

"I'm the one who got hit the most!" The boy complains. The twins begin brawling and the demigod just has to be in the middle of the argument. He separates the two and places them back on the floor.

"You guys only provoked me because of necromancy. No more dark magic though." He pinches the bridge of his nose.

"We're so sorry, sir!" They shout in unison. Hueningkai shakes his head, smiling, accepting their apologies.

"With honesty, the wizard with uncontrollable mana is unique. I, myself, am surprised by his close combat skill, though." Cancer meets Soobin's look. The wizard holds his broken staff, a joking scowl on his face.

   The leader of zodiacs steps up, a look of respect. "You are all incredibly skilled. Strong yes, but with skills— even better. Your devil friend knows his ways of fighting. I praise him for even surviving rather than beating me. He's one tough man." The lion bows. Yoongi and Minghao smile at the praise of their fellow kin that had done his best.

"The vampire is quite unique. He has some manners even after defeating me. My wound was clotted." Virgo innocently smiles despite the fact she mentioned how much blood she lost. "As he's the second prince, he's beyond my expectations." Her statement leaves everyone uneasy, thinking about the other family members of their enemy.
