Western Reaches of Albiria's Domain, Northern Glaciers
Leading the way were Albiria and Ülgen, followed by their four siblings, making up a formation of six white dragons flying serenely. On the snowy grounds below, white-scaled kobolds, ice wolves, saber-toothed tigers, and rock serpents, all under Albiria's command, trailed them. The white-scaled kobolds guided musk oxen laden with frost giant corpses, while the other magical beasts advanced in their vicinity. Thanks to Ülgen's arrangements, they resembled a disciplined military force.
The exhaustion in the dragons' eyes was a clear sign that their raid on Alarion's territory had not been easy. Albiria, in particular, bore numerous marks from frost breath and claw wounds on her body. Although her injuries weren't severe enough to necessitate a deep slumber for recovery or reduce her strength by a degree, the occasional irritable glances she cast at Ülgen showed her dissatisfaction with the current situation.
