Nash held Nina close, and she could hear the steady, strong beat of his heart against his chest.
Ever since they arrived, Nash had stayed by her side. At first, when she spotted the Seven-Leaf Clover, she thought about going alone. After all, she felt like she had not done enough for Orion. But then, Nash had shown up. As the thick fog began to clear, they started their journey back.
The Yaren Tribe was in turmoil, and Pharaoh, along with the others, was deeply worried about Nash and Nina's safety, especially Nina's. They did not want her to suffer even the slightest harm.

The herbs he listed were to save Orion, and in his haste, he had put the list aside when Nina arrived, wanting to give them an update.
If something had happened to Nina, he would never have forgiven himself.
However, when Nina handed him the Seven-Leaf Clover they had picked, Pharaoh was speechless with surprise.
He knew better than anyone how rare and delicate this herb was, especially since it only grew in the Yaren Tribe's region. Locally referred to as the "Daughter," the Seven-Leaf Clover was incredibly fragile and precious. The fact that Nina and Nash had successfully harvested it.
"Please, just help Orion first," Nina said hoarsely, completely ignoring her own exhaustion and disheveled state.
"Of course," Pharaoh responded, realizing that their relationship might slowly start to mend through these small interactions. "You both should rest now. You can check on Orion later." "Alright," Nina agreed, with Nash close by her side.
But then Nina realized something. She had not seen Micah, nor Wilfred.

Pharaoh sighed and explained softly, "The Yaren Tribe was suddenly thrown into conflict, and Micah was injured." Under Micah's leadership, the Yaren Tribe had been thriving and had even formed alliances with whovel neighboring small natione But now, they were saying there was unrest. Could it have something to do with Seth, who had been turned into a human swine? Determined, Nina decided to go see Micah.
Nash, understanding Nina's thoughts, held her hand and said firmly, "I'll go with you." Despite the exhaustion from battling a tiger and the toll of the journey, they did not hesitate to go check on Micah.
Pharaoh could see that Nina still cared deeply for Micah, and if shot had feelings for Micah, then maybe, just maybe, she could still care for von v him too.,
This strengthened Pharaoh's resolve even more. He had to save Orion Only then could he and Nina possibly reconcile.
Nina and Nash quickly made their way to Micah, who was being m e watched over by Freya. When Freya saw Nina, she immediately stood and greeted her, "Miss Ivy." "How is he?" Nina asked, looking at Micah, unconscious on the bed.
Wilfred answered, "He was almost fatally wounded, but thankfully, We were able to treat him in time. He's still under anesthesia, so it'll be a white before he wakesontent
