After several days of flying, Leon and Cecilia arrived at a mountain range in the southern continent of Samael.

At the foot of the mountain, a massive red dragon slowly descended. Leon leaped off its back and landed gracefully on the ground.

The moment her feet touched the earth, Cecilia reverted to her human form, folding her wings neatly behind her. She stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Leon as they gazed at the vast, unbroken expanse of towering peaks before them.

"I rarely come to the southern continent. I had no idea the mountains here were so spectacular," Leon remarked in admiration. Then, shifting his gaze to Cecilia beside him, he asked,

"Senior, what are we doing here exactly?"

"First, we meet up with Vida."

After a brief pause, Cecilia's lips curled slightly, and she casually ran her fingers through her hair.
