Now approaching sundown, and no sight of Ailith. The girls were starting to panic. They had returned to camp once but no time after that, both of them were worried out of their mind.

"Do you think a hostile dragon might've..." Austa started.

"If you say one more negative thing that might've happened to her I will throw you off this dragon, I swear!" Astra growled nearly as she anxiously looked over the place.

"There'a the same twisted tree! We're going in circles!" Austa points out and then starts to feel her chest bursting with worry.

"We'll go back to camp again and see if she's there." Astra prayed her assumption was right.

Asgard landed and Astra dismounted to look around, no Ailith. Austa jumped down too, looking where Astra didn't.

But a twig snap drew both of their attention to where the darker forest was, now being closer to night than day, it looked more darker and scarier.

"Ailith, I swear if that's you and this was all a prank..." But what emerged instead of Ailith was a plasma blast of sorts, it had more fire in it than compressed plasma. Asgard tackled Astra out of the way of it and watched as it completely destroyed a tree.

"Who's there?!" Astra exclaimed practically as she gathered herself up in front of a growling Asgard.

The two girls with the Wyvern behind them, approached the dark forest, Asgard's eyes widened, seeing something the two girls didn't with his enhanced vision. He then blew glowing acid which he's known for and watched as it shun light on the pale body of Ailith temporarily.

The girls hearts stop and they lunge forward, lifting the unconscious girl up.

"She's so cold!" Austa exclaims after only feeling her upper arms.

"Asgard, fire, please." Astra begged Asgard and he instantly lit the fire. The blazing ribbons got closer to Ailith's cold and limp body but her temperature didn't rise.

"Somethings wrong!" Astra states as she wrapped her cloak around Ailith.

"What's that?" Austa asked, stopping the cloak from being wrapped around her shoulder, there was the graze. It looked dangerously infected. Astra's eyes widened and she wrapped the cloak around Ailith fully and then placed her carefully on the ground and close to the fire before standing.

"It's the scourge of Odin!" Astra exclaimed, making Austa gasp and cover her mouth.
