~{INGRID'S POV}~

I couldn't believe it was really happening. After struggling to find the dragon I was now going empty-handed.
Once I changed to the first outfit I had left the pack with which was a shirt on a pair of shorts, I strapped the bag protectively around my back and went back to meet them.
Thankfully, the piece of dragon's egg… I mean the cocoon was intact as well as the liquid gotten from the inner shell. I didn't know what I would use them for but I just held onto them as evidence.
"Were you the one who hurt the dragon?"
Simone asked the moment I came to meet them.
"Why would I do such a thing?" I asked back only for her to growl at me.
"We need answers if you want to come with us," George bargained.
"I can go on my own, after all, I got here all by myself," I said and began to find my way only for Joseph to pull me back.
"You came all by yourself?" The calm lady asked in awe and I was tempted to raise my chin in pride.
"You're lying," Simone blurted out.
