Archer was relaxing in the treehouse with Talila, Maeve, Brooke, and Tiamat, who appeared an hour after dealing with her business that she chose not to talk about. They were all sitting in front of the roaring fire that was beating back the Long Winter's cold. It was invading the treehouse, causing their breath to show.
While sitting there, he turned toward the Dragon Goddess to ask her when she had to return, but noticed a smile stretching across her face as she revealed. ''My love. I have to get back and arrange a few things before I can stay on Thrylos. It's possible to take some time off as I wait for things to get started.''
''How long will it take for you to return?''
''A few months at least, but I can visit from time to time.''
''Alright,'' Archer replied, hiding his disappointment, but he knew they'd be able to spend more time together now. ''In that case, I'll conquer the rest of the world and battle it out with the northerners.''
