“Aries. Lovely name.” Catina said. “I wish to exchange this sword and sheath for yours. That is how Legion members marry one another. And we could try returning to them soon. Then be prepared to explain our actions to them.”

“Don’t belive me? Go look for yourself” He points to a broad window, which opens as if by itself.
(Just letting you know, as it has never been clarified, the exchange involves just the blades, you keep the sheath)

Aries nodded, passing her the sheath. “Should we go to an inn immediately?” Aries asked.
“We were… Just in the Summer territory…” Sky said.

Summer Flicks his hand and Sky is teleported over to the Window. Where everything is revealed to her, The continent, is not one solid landmass, but a close grouping of islands, hidden from the Legion Forces by hills, a secret summer Fleet thousands strong lies ready to ambush the poor souls, while the retreating ground troops are leading them right into the ambush

“I am not sure. We still have a battle going on around us. And we may be safer staying with the Legion Forces, as opposed to the two of us along in Summer Legion Territory.”
(The sheaths were also traded to accommodate the Winter and Summer blades. That likely wouldn’t fit in the sheaths that Aries and Catina would have otherwise kept.)

(She’ll notice that soon.)
“I will kill you.” Sky said, turning to face him.
“Yeah.” Aries nodded.
