After the two crusaders left, Lyria and Luna squealed at the same time.

"Tank was so cool!" Luna placed both her palms on her cheeks.

"Vi was so cool!" Lyria followed.

"I'm so cool!" Amelie did a pose and a hair flip.

The wyvern appeared to have stopped moving for good. Astrid gave the wyvern a kick to check if it was still alive. It dissolved and dropped some loot.

"Looks like we killed it," Astrid said as she picked the loot up.

Lyria examined the loot. "Is that iron? Magnus wanted me to sell him some."

Astrid gave the iron to Lyria. "It also seemed to have dropped a large egg. Is this a cooking ingredient?"

"It doesn't look like one."

The egg cracked and an infant wyvern emerged from within the shell.

Amelie squealed. "It's so adorable! Can we keep it? Please!"

Astrid's appraiser eyes shone. "This looks like a pet that can sell for millions." She grinned. "We hit the jackpot, ladies."

"No! Don't sell it! It's so cute! I want to keep it!" Amelie protected the little wyvern like how she always protected her pizza from her brother.

"But we killed its mother. It's going to grow up resenting us once it becomes a fully-grown wyvern. Then our hard-earned guild headquarters will become merely a charred land filled with memories of our glory days once it gets its revenge."

"Aren't you being overly dramatic?"

Lyria laughed. "Let's just keep it, Astrid. We can always kill it if it goes against us."

"You monsters!" Amelie was horrified by the idea of slaughtering her new pet.

Astrid sighed. "Fine. We can keep him."

Amelie picked the little wyvern up. "We'll name you... Rune! Welcome to the family, Rune!"

Upon seeing Amelie's happy expression, the rest looked at each other and smiled contentedly.
