While the excitement died down after Himika’s duel with Heathcliff, Nadie watched as Divinity ran outside, though not before leaving with a few insults. Himika left as well not long after her. Nadie herself silently slithered through the crowd and out the door, following after them as her fingers curled around her sword’s handle. Once she was out the door, her casual stride broke into a dash, and she soon even sped past Himika and Divinity.
It wasn’t long before she reached the area the scouts were last seen in: A forest clearing. As she approached, the first thing she noticed were trees all stuck with swords like they were pincushions. Even the ground was pierced with swords as well. The second thing was a boy, likely one of the members of her guild, hiding, as if in preparation. He watched a nearby bush as it shook slightly, and Nadie quickly figured out some type of enemy hid behind it. She offered the boy a small wave in acknowledgement before entering the clearing alone.
In the center of the clearing, she turned to the bush and suddenly drew her sword. The blade slid out of it’s larger scabbard, revealing it to be broken. It was broken diagonally, still leaving the tip somewhat sharp, but the blade was only around a foot in length. At this point it was no longer really a sword but more of a large knife.
Nevertheless, Nadie held her severed weapon at the ready, waiting for the enemy to show itself. Even standing in the middle of the clearing, it was still unlikely to go straight for her. But when it revealed itself, she would be ready to attack.
