Riveria: We're here.

The group arrived at one of Orario's few natural reserves, a small yet vibrant stretch of land untouched by the city's ever-expanding reach. Trees spread everywhere, their leaves rustling softly in the breeze. The air carried the fresh scent of earth and foliage, while the distant chirping of birds wove a serene melody into the moment.

Ryu: Orario's nature reserve? This is where we'll be continuing?

She muttered as her gaze wandered.

Riveria: Yes. 

She turned to the group before continuing.

Riveria: This place is mostly visited by elves, but given the time, I doubt anyone else will be here. That means you won't have to worry about being seen... Or anyone getting caught in the crossfire.

Alise: Ryu, come here for a moment.

She stood a little ways off from the rest of the group as she called Ryu over. Kaguya stood beside her, arms crossed, watching silently.

Ryu: Alise? What's wrong?

Alise: No talking. Just come here.

On the other side of the clearing, Riveria gazed at everyone, she saw Ryu making her way to Alise and Kaguya before her gaze landed on Aiz. 

Riveria: Aiz, come here for a moment.

Her voice was gentle, but there was an undertone Aiz couldn't quite place.

Aiz: Yes?

Without hesitation, she stepped forward, closing the distance between them.

The elf's fingers moved swiftly, brushing through Aiz's golden hair with an unexpected gentleness. The sudden action caught the young girl off guard, her brows furrowing in confusion.

Aiz: R-Riveria...

Her voice wavered slightly, unsure of the reason behind the gesture.

Riveria: Remember, the Gale Wind is a master at concurrent chanting. If you let her build momentum, you'll be at a disadvantage. Break her stance first, and the battle will be yours.

Her tone was calm but firm, laced with quiet confidence in Aiz's abilities.

Alise: Aiz has more speed and power than you Ryu, even if we hate to admit it. But your technique is smoother, more refined. Use it!

Her voice carried its usual fiery energy, but there was an undeniable belief behind her words.

Alise: *Smile* Don't give her a chance. If you keep her from setting the pace, you'll win. I'm sure of it.

Riveria: She'll rely on pure technique to find a way around you. Don't give her that opening.

Aiz's golden eyes flickered with determination as the weight of Riveria's words settled in her heart.
