The field was bustling with murmurs and grunts from the ongoing battle. The sun was scorching overhead as Aries reached the area where the line had been drawn. Slvy and Thales were already there, waiting alongside other warriors who stood in formation.
As Aries arrived, he acknowledged the leaders. Thales straightened up and said, his voice calm but authoritative,
"I hope you're feeling better now."
"Yes, I am." Despite feeling slightly unsettled by the unexpected concern Thales was showing toward him, Aries still answered politely.
"Good." Thales nodded once before gesturing toward Slvy. "I'll leave it to you to choose the level four warrior he'll battle with."
"Okay, Commander," Slvy replied.
Aries stepped forward and stood at the center of the line. He picked up a pair of daggers, testing their weight briefly in his hands.
