"Took you long enough." She said, stretching her wings.

"What was that all about?" Lance asked, looking at Aelyndra for answers.
"You were taking too long, so I asked the guardian of the forest to speed things up a bit. Before you get upset, you have been in the forest for three days now." Aelyndra said.
