"Adelle!"
"Are you okay?!"
The moment Eve and the others realized what just happened, they all hurried to Adelle's side.
TAP- TAP- TAP—
Their footsteps echoed loudly inside the stone chamber, weapons still half-drawn.
Their faces painted with both concern and disbelief. Even though the danger had already passed, they acted instinctively, crowding around her as if trying to shield her from any further harm.
Then, at that moment—
"Calm down guys, I'm fine."
Adelle reassured them with a small grin tugging at her lips, her tone calm but firm.
The relief in her voice was genuine, but her heart was still beating faster than normal. She could feel it pounding in her chest, reminding her of how close the arrow had been in her face. Still, she pushed the unease aside and gave her teammates a smile that told them she was alright.
