The strangers left, and a silence descended on the valley as we all stared at where they had been, each of us completely stunned. Dragons had been that close to us. We were lucky to still be alive, that was for certain.
"Torhilda!!"
The call from the village was shouted out again, snapping us from our daze, and I stood up, offering a hand to Adela. She glanced at it sceptically before standing up by herself, lightly brushing the dirt from her clothing, and I tried not to let her hear my disappointed sigh. Evidently, she heard it despite my efforts, gaze lingering on me out of the corner of her eyes, watching me until she reached some kind of internal conclusion and set off back in the direction of the village. Great. Things with my fiancé were going as swimmingly, as usual.
My brow furrowed as I stood there, before I made to go and follow her. The sound of a voice calling me stopped me in my tracks, and I turned to see who was speaking to me. Rune stood just behind me, one eyebrow raised in what appeared to be amusement. "I've said it once, and I'll say it again. I really have no idea why you're marrying that girl."
I scowled deeper, looking away again. "Whatever," I replied after a moment, looking for a way to switch the topic. "We need to tell the Elders about this dragon herd being so close to the village. They must be planning an attack."
