With a solid bite and grasp around her halberds handle, Rainbow Dash took off from the fogy Ponyville and made her way in a straight line over to Canterlot. The rain was thick as a shower on its maximum effect and she regular had to dodge lightning that struck down from above like thin and unstable pillars. As a flexible and slippery eel she passed them in quick turns without any problems, flying was after all a part of her. She ignored all her wounds, not knowing if they actually hurt or not while creeping up toward the mountain to Canterlot. Her wings flapped at full speed and her warm breath passed her nostrils in a dense steam. The rain was ice-cold and almost like freezing needles that struck her skin and melted immediately on impact. Rainbow Dash’s mind was only set on one thing for the moment and that was Twilight. But she didn’t think too much on her to be honest, she couldn’t dare to let her fantasy go free and think of everything that possible could have happen to her at this point.
Twilight was alive, Rainbow Dash knew that, she felt it in her heart but she was more concerned about what would happen to her next and why Queen Chrysalis had the interests of having her alive. Rainbow Dash passed the mountain on its side and appeared from beneath, she was flying straight up and despite the thick mist both at the ground and the air, she felt watched. She tried to look around at all time as carefully as she just could to see if she was followed or if she juts was observed from a distance. But there was no one there, she was alone in the darkness and surrounded by the night all alone and that really frightened her. She expected to have to fight her way to Canterlot, being forced to kill more Changelings than she ever had in her life which she wouldn’t have hesitated in doing if she knew that could lead her to Twilight. But that wasn’t the case, she reached the edge of Canterlot without have seen a single living being and that made her feel far from at ease. She landed on a rather large balcony with the feeling of something being horrible wrong and looked in to where the balcony lead. It was dark inside with some few torches on the wall, Rainbow Dash didn’t see too far in thanks to the lack of light but she saw at least that it lead to some sort of giant hall. Strangle alike the one in Cloudsdale where her halberd for the first time got the taste of blood.
Rainbow Dash stayed on the balcony and felt unsure to walk inside, she more than one time looked back over the edge of the balcony to its view but saw nothing then mist and the heavy raining night. Lightning of course echoed in the air together with the rain and Rainbow Dash started to feel how her wet and cold body started to shake by it. She wanted to make sure that she really was alone but regardless of how much she tried to look around and not seeing anyone, she still felt far from eased. Before the cold really made Rainbow Dash’s body stiff and total numbness so swallowed she loud and decided to walk in. Immediately when she got roof over her head, the sound from the storm outside changed to be quieter. The entrance in was huge with soft turning sides and where they met in the middle with a pointy spike. Some windows was on the left side of the hall that was few but enormous, they had many images in them in their colourful glass and almost told a story just by watching them.
Rainbow Dash made small and slowly steps forward with her head low and with her halberd firmly griped between her teeth. About one third through the hall, a quick cracking sound came from Dash’s left that made her jump in to a battle position towards the sound. Her heart immediately started to beat so you could dance to it and her body got tense and still. She searched with her eyes what had made the sound but found nothing, she was confused and felt more and more worry but then the cracking sound appeared again and this time, she had her eyes at the right place. It was one of the big windows along that wall that started to crack at the bottom by the weather. She could see and hear how the many small cracks grown further up the window by the cold outside. Rainbow Dash was expecting the whole window to explode at any second and made herself prepared for it to do so. But the window went quickly quiet again and it appeared so it was only a strange timing for it to have happen right now. Rainbow Dash took a deep breath and looked back to the balcony where she had come from.
A trail of water was behind her and that she had made across the halls floor to where she stood right now. Rainbow Dash sighed in how edgy she was and turned back to the hall, she walked some couple of steps deeper in and then something else happen. The torch in the end of the hall went out with heavy smoke from it almost like it was shoved into water. Rainbow Dash stopped and only stared for a while at the abruptly extinguished torch and made then a small step forward. When her hoof reached the floor, another torch burned out just as suddenly and left the end of the hall pitch black. This time Rainbow Dash took a step backwards by the feeling of something really being strange, but that only trigged another event. The opening out to the balcony had two giant doors on each side and these door by a pure gleam, closed themselves fast in an extremely loud bump that echoed through the hall.
By surprise Rainbow Dash looked back in a twitch and saw then how the two wooden door now blocked the way out and how the sound of a lock go off also echoed weakly. The torches behind her then also went out just like the ones further in and left now both ways in complete darkness. But the torch closest to Dash stayed in flames for some reason and she heard after that how another torch in front of her hissed in its death from being burned out.
She looked forward and saw the last smoke leaving a third torch that had went dark and now it wasn't many left. A laugh and some small giggles then all the sudden circulated the hall in weakly amusement, but there was no one to be seen.
“What have we here?”
A foul voice broke loose from the darkness with a entertained tone to itself. Rainbow Dash was breathing a bit more heavy then usual but she stayed somewhat calm.
Her head searched desperate the voices owner, but there wasn't much space left that was lighten up to see and less space it also became when the touches deeper in continued to burn out one by one.
“A lossst little child... or maybe only an ssshortsssighted creature.”
The same voice said with a hissing pronunciation and Rainbow Dash didn't know what to do.
“S-show yourself!”
She decided to scream out to the darkness and the only thing she got was once again words with an amused sound to them.
“And ssspoil the fun?”
“I know your kind of fun... don't even try to lure me in your different forms... show me your true... disgusting self!”
Rainbow Dash said with a strong and clear voice and in the next second a giant wind came towards her and blew out the rest of the torches in front of her and left her in complete darkness.
Not a single thing could she see, it was completely pitch black but soon enough her halberd started to glow in a soft orange colour.
“W-what’s happening?!”
Rainbow Dash asked herself while her halberd only continued to grow brighter and brighter and she started to feel also how its metal started to burn. In the end she had to drop it by the heat to her teeth and tongue it gave her and when it hit the floor it really started to take a fiery form. It was almost like it was made of the sun and it was currently also the only light source in the entire hall.
“You really thought you could even out an encounter with me... wielding a physssical weapon?”
The voice said in echoes and this time coming from behind Dash. She looked back but of course saw nothing, the voice once more spoke and this time it came from a total different direction.
“I mussst sssay... it'sss intresssting to sssee sssomepony jussst walking in like thisss... what are your purpossse here?”
“You know very well why I'm here... you have my friend!
Rainbow Dash shouted out but she wasn't exactly sure where to look while doing it.
“Ahh... a dear friend to the ssstudent of the fallen princesss!”
The voice expressed itself in extreme excitement and from absolutely nowhere, Queen Chrysalis jumped out of the darkness in to the light on the other side of the glowing halberd.
Rainbow Dash flinched back a couple of steps by surprised and gave away at first a scared face in the sight of the Queen of Changelings. Chrysalis was far bigger than Rainbow Dash and had her hoofs wide and solid with a crude look to themselves. They were covered in strange holes and her skin almost looked like black stone. Her eyes were enormous with a poison green mist to their colour and both her pupils were a deep dark green like two shining gems. The horn on her forehead was massive, almost like the head of Rainbow Dash's own halberd and it had an awfully strange shape to itself.
A bit further back on top of her head behind her horn, she had her bizarre outgrow of four small egg-looking things coming directly out from her skull and that Rainbow Dash didn't have a clue on what they were. She was quiet and only stared in silent with a big evil smile at Dash and Rainbow Dash herself, she changed quickly her own facial expression.
A gaze made of pure hate she gave Chrysalis and which amused her greatly, she even had to smile bigger and say half laughing.
“What's thisss... I feel no fear from you... that'sss a rare thing for me to sssee... isss it jussst that your brave and filled with courageousss... or are you jussst arrogant beyond ssstop?”
“Does it matter?”
Rainbow Dash simply added with her angry look and that once more made Chrysalis to laugh and say.
“Nay.”
Chrysalis took after her single word a step forwards to the halberd laying on the floor and stopped right in front of it. There she then puffed up her mane softly with a hoof like Rarity used to do and leered at the same time at Rainbow Dash. Dash was a bit confused why she did that but soon she would know. Queen Chrysalis dark-blue and glorious long mane was after all not just a bunch of silken smooth hair, it was imbue with magic as well as her horn.
She transformed a strand of hair of her mane in to big solid hand with three big boxy fingers that she grabbed the burning hot halberd on the floor. Rainbow Dash don't know how but the sound the hand of hair made when it came in contact with the halberd and small parts of the stone floor was just like it was metal itself.
She didn't suffer the slightest by the glowing hot handle of the halberd and the next thing she did, was to point it to Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash finally lost her tough and secured face when she saw how Chrysalis started to walk towards her with her own weapon against her.
She started to walk backwards away from her but when she did that, Chrysalis was shaking her head amused and said quietly.
“Nooo yooou dooon't.”
Another hand she made of her mane but on the other side of her head and that she immediately reached out to Rainbow Dash, grabbing her neck and pulling her towards the halberd.
It was impossible to fight the hands strength and it stopped her right in front of the glowing blade. Rainbow Dash tried to pull back her head as far as possible to get away from the weapon and her eyes actually was filled with fear and worry in felling the heat from it.
“Ssstill brave... or arrogant?”
Chrysalis asked with a wide smile while closing in on Rainbow Dash with her own head. Rainbow Dash answered but not with words, she instead got back her hating look and spat right across the glowing halberd in Chrysalis face. Dash hit her just under her left eye and made her flinch a bit by the surprise. She looked over at Rainbow Dash and just smiled not caring too much, she then open her mouth and used her long and thin reptile tongue to lick it up and just say humiliating.
“Deliciousss!”
Rainbow Dash was disgusted, but despite that she tried not to care of what she just had seen and asked simply.
“Where is Twilight?”
“Twilight Sssparkle... yesss... an amusssing ssstory actually... my minionsss found her as random as it wasss right in Ponyville... wandering itsss streetsss in the missst... she mussst been extremely confusssed in mind to do sssomething like that.”
Chrysalis answered Dash which made Dash to blame herself for everything, she tried not to show her regret however and only continued to ask things that she somewhat wondered about.
“And... and what will be of me?”
Chrysalis for the first time lost her smile and amusement and only looked at Rainbow Dash with a thoughtful expression. It took some time for her to say anything but when she did, so didn't Rainbow Dash like it.
“Hmm... you can actually be to my advantage when I think about it.”
“W-what do you mean?!”
Rainbow Dash asked rather frightened and Queen Chrysalis didn't delay with and answer.
“Well... you sssee... your dear friend have made it rather complicated for herssself... my foolisssh minionsss sssomehow lossst their grasssp of her and now ssshe have trapped herssself in some kind of protective bubble.”
“Ha... you will never be able to break through to her... there's nothing I can do and even if I could... I would never help you!”
Rainbow Dash confident said but Chrysalis didn't show too much concern and only added shortly after.
“It'sss jussst a matter of time till her ssshield will fall my little missstresss... ssshe mussst after all sssleep sssooner or later... and don't you worry... you don't need to cooperate... you living body isss all I need.”
In the next second everything went dark, the halberd lost it glow to it and Rainbow Dash tried to quickly ask what Chrysalis was going to do. But she didn't however have time to utter a single word because the next thing that happened was that Dash heard how the halberd got dropped to the floor and how a made up hand from Chrysalis mane grabbed her muzzle. It stopped Rainbow Dash to say or make any sound and then she felt how she got carried away in the darkness. With time they exited the dark hall and Rainbow Dash could actually now see her whole surrounding. She was laying on Chrysalis back, rapped in her mane and stuck in place. They walked through the castle and the whole way, Dash saw how Changelings were following them. They looked curiously at her and she couldn't lie, they were many. Later they entered a similar hall to where they had left from and though Dash didn't see what waited in that hall, so was it Twilight in the end, completely surrounded by Changelings.
She was sitting on the floor with her eyes closed and her face turned down to the floor, she was concentrating to hold up her little pink coloured shield around her and outside it. Queen Chrysalis herself had made her own shield so Twilight impossible could go anywhere or even teleport pass it.
Chrysalis held Dash hidden for now and stopped before reaching her shield that was around Twilight's. She was quiet for some time before asking Twilight calmly with a sneer.
“Ssso... have you decided be a nice girl thisss time and lower that ssshield by own power?”
Twilight looked up immediately but slowly and opened her eyes and said while trying to hold her voice strong when she actually was rather tired.
“There... there is nothing you can do or say to make me lower this shield spell voluntary!”
Rainbow Dash on Chrysalis back tried to move free and make as much noise as she possible could but Chrysalis magic was far too powerful for a single pony to break free from it by pure body strength.
“Oh but you jussst ssso wrong there my little... annoying filth.”
Chrysalis said which got Twilight to lower one of her eyebrows by surprised and being confused.
The next thing Chrysalis simply did was to reveal Rainbow Dash and throw her with her mane towards Twilight. Dash landed brutally on the floor between Twilight and Chrysalis and when she looked up so could she clearly see the chock in Twilight's face.
“D-D-Dash!?”
She said in huge panic by the sound of her voice and though Dash didn't want so looked she directly in to Twilight's eyes and said rather weak in her voice.
“I'm sorry... I'm sorry for everything.”
Twilight was covered in small bruises, most likely after have encounter the Changelings in Ponyville and she only continued to stare speechless at Rainbow Dash and quiet for herself she repeated in grief and close to get tears in her eyes.
“No... just no... why?”
“Oh ssso touching... but I think it'sss bessst for ussse to get to the purpossse of thisss reunion... now... Twilight... thisss isss the lassst time I will asssk nicely... lower you ssshield and give up your resssissstance... or I maybe jussst have to hurt your friend over here.”
Chrysalis said and all Twilight did was to start to shake and all the Changelings around them started to get excited and jumpy in await of her words, but it was actually Rainbow Dash who broke the silent.
“Don't do it Twilight!”
She screamed out which got everypony's attention, even Chrysalis looked down in front of her surprised.
“Whatever happen to me... don't lower that shield!”
Dash continued to shout, Chrysalis went up then to her and putted a hoof on Rainbow Dash's back and said surprised in what she had heard.
“Well well... aren’t you a loyal one.”
Dash looked back right in to Chrysalis eyes and she without knowing it smiled when she heard that particular sentence from the Changeling Queen. Chrysalis got a blizzard facial expression and whispers quietly for herself.
“You... sssmile?”
She then immediately looked back up at Twilight and quickly added.
“Well Twilight... what isss it going to be?”
Twilight bounced her gaze back and forth between Rainbow Dash and Chrysalis with her jaws shaking in confusion. Rainbow Dash was shaking her head while watching Twilight with determined eyes and that actually got Twilight to say.
“N-no... I won't lower it.”
Chrysalis sighed in hopelessness but didn't fear the slightest, she only thought all this was a waste of time.
“As you wisssh.”
She said and grabbed Rainbow Dash's left hind leg with a hand from her mane and threw her over to the side in to a wall.
She used a lot of power in her throw but that was merely the beginning.
It took some time for Dash to recover from the hit with the solid stone wall and right after that, Chrysalis said out loud to the hall.
“Well my Changelingsss... give her what ssshe dessservesss... but don't be to harsssh... I want her to be able to ssstand after you done with her!”
All the Changelings looked at Chrysalis and nodded satisfied and then, all of them moved over to Rainbow Dash.
“No... please don't do this to her!”
Twilight yelled and stood up in her bubble and all Chrysalis did was to say while looking away at Rainbow Dash.
“Thisss wasss your and your decisssion alone... lower the ssshield and I may order them to ssstep back.”
“Don't do it Twilight... whatever you do don't do it... I can handle this!”
Rainbow Dash shouted which got Chrysalis to look down and sigh and not long after that, Rainbow Dash was surrounded.
She was pinned to the wall by them all and took a harsh beating, she didn't even try to fight back, they were way too many for that. She only laid down on the floor with her back against the wall, accepting what she got and while trying to protect her head. Constantly she got kicked and hit by the Changelings and also for a long time. Twilight had turned around because she simply couldn't stand to watch, she heard everything happen behind her and she held her eyes closed firmly to hinder her tears to pass by.
“That'sss enough!”
Chrysalis then shouted in a annoyed sight and though the Changelings continued to harm Rainbow Dash more, so did they after a while thin out and leave her.
Twilight turned back to see how Rainbow Dash was holding up and though she technical was fine from injure, so didn't it look like it. She was completely covered in bruises and light scratch wounds with minimal blood coming from them, she had a black eye on both her eyes and was currently trying to be standing up that took some major time.
“Come over here... or sssuffer more when I pull you over myssself!”
Chrysalis yelled far from friendly to Rainbow Dash and Dash actually saw it to be best to obey her even if she didn't want to. Slowly she started to limp her way over to Chrysalis while facing down and also tried to discretely look at her at the same time.
It was a frightened sight Rainbow Dash had to admit, the giant Changeling Queen was her true self now. When Rainbow Dash got a bit closer but still had some steps to make to reach her, so charged Queen Chrysalis unexpected towards her and tackled Rainbow Dash violent in to her shield she had made around Twilight's.
Rainbow Dash flew like a feather strapped to a small rock through the air and hit the shields surface more brutally then the wall before she got her beating. She whimpered there on the floor in pain and saw how Twilight was crying on the other side of the two force fields.
“Why did you come here... why?!”
Twilight screamed to her but all Rainbow Dash did was oddly enough smiling. Twilight thought she did that because she was so lost and muddle-headed by all the pain that she had endured but Dash did that with intention, because she saw how it was herself who suffered and not somepony else.
But once again, it was far from over her.
Chrysalis went up closer to Rainbow Dash but kept some distance. She then made a hand out of her mane and transformed it even more after that.
All its three fingers melted in to each other and became one single but extremely long strand of hair that she allowed to rest on the floor. The next thing she did was to throw back her head in a small movement but enough for her whole strand of hair to follow in a quick and flexible move. Then she sort of nodded towards Rainbow Dash and her hair followed short after and hit Rainbow Dash's body with its tip, Chrysalis had made a whip out of her mane. In a loud and painful lash it hit Rainbow Dash's lower body and she made a short-lived scream.
“Dash!”
Twilight yelled and ran up to her shield where Rainbow Dash was laying just outside.
“No Twilight... don't you dare to give in because of me!”
Rainbow Dash screamed out when the pain from the lash somewhat had faded away in fear of that Twilight was going to lowering her defence because of her agony.
Immediately after that Chrysalis launched another hit with her hair-made-whip and that struck Dash right in her back. She held in her scream but barely, she crawled in to be as small as possible against the shield next to her and then just try to endure everything. Chrysalis went early wild and just preformed hit after hit with an angry face and Twilight was just broken-hearted, she fell to the floor by her legs giving up and made a facial expression like she was insane.
“No more... please.”
She whispered out total ruined while watching Rainbow Dash who held her body tense and eyes closed. After a while Dash couldn't hold in it anymore, she now made a loud echoing scream for every hit she received and her body was filled with tormenting red lines that hurt some incredible.
It was a burning feeling and she even started to cry herself just by the pain.
Chrysalis saw that no progress was really made, she only wanted one thing and that was to break Twilight. She made another hair-whip on the other side of her head and putted it in action immediately. The whole room echoed in Rainbow Dash's poor scream and the sound of her getting lashed every second. Twilight had shoved her head down to the floor between here front hoofs and cried while trying to blocking out everything, but that was a purely impossible thing to do. All the Changelings around them just stood there, watching the torture with a neutral facial expression and not giving a single reaction away. They were many, the hall was big and maybe even around eighty of them stood there but still rather far away from their queen. More of them were outside in lack of space for them to fit, they wanted after all just to stay close to their queen or was just curiously about the screams that flowed through the castle. But Rainbow Dash's screams started to go more and quieter for every hit by the loss of strength she had suffered from.
She was just crying now while laying there on the floor though she continued to receive a heavy beating from Chrysalis.
“Thisss isss ridiculesss!”
Queen Chrysalis yelled out by inpatient and hit Rainbow Dash hard with both of her whips at the same time which actually made Dash to scream weakly while whimpering. A short time of silent then passed by with only the crying from Dash and Twilight and the lightning and rain coming from outside. Chrysalis was furious and was even breathing heavy because of that.
She threw her two whips to Rainbow Dash but not in a harming matter this time, she only did so to be able to grab her both hind legs and then pull her towards her. Twilight looked up with weeping eyes and looked confused, Chrysalis placed Rainbow Dash right in front of her and only looked down at her with not a single trace of care for her. She leered at Twilight and Twilight saw that but didn't react in any special way.
The Queen of Changelings then stepped forwards and stood now over Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash herself manage to roll over to her back that made her give away an extremely painful gaze back up at Chrysalis. Chrysalis stared deep into Dash's eyes and Dash in to hers. Both of them were silent which Chrysalis in person found odd, she actually expected Dash to beg of an end to this, which she maybe should have done.
“You’re not even going to pray for mercy... are you?”
She asked Dash quietly with a surprised voice while slowly shaking her head in that she never ever had seen such stubborn mind to a creature.
Dash was indeed persistent, maybe too much to be honest because all she did was to shake her head tiredly and weak. Chrysalis only sighed and made then without delay four hand out of here mane. She used them to flip Rainbow Dash so she had her belly against the floor and held with one pair of her hands Rainbow Dash front hoofs in place.
She then stepped up with her own front hoof onto Rainbow Dash hind legs and held them down as well with her own body weight. Rainbow Dash was no total pinned down to the floor and couldn't move a limb expect for her wings that wasn't going to help her the slightest in a situation like this.
Dash tried to look back at Chrysalis but the Changeling queen only made a fifth hand out of her mane and held Dash's skull down to the floor, facing so she had Twilight right in front of her.
“W-what are you going to do with her?!”
Twilight asked breathing on top of her lungs and twitchy to every nerve on her body.
Chrysalis didn't say anything, she had enough of this and decided not to hold in anymore.
With her last pair of two hands she grabbed around Rainbow Dash's waist just above her hips and transformed and made the thumbs into long and sharp curved spikes. She placed the sharp edged pieces of her mane on each side of Rainbow Dash chest, just where her ribs started and with not a single second to waste, she shoved them deep in to Rainbow Dash's body. Immediately Dash opened her mouth and made the loudest scream she ever had in her entire life. Blood poured out from the two wounds onto the floor and made quickly a little pool of the red fluid under her.
Chrysalis twisted the thumbs back and forth, focusing in making the pain constant and remaining.
She stroke the first pair of ribs inside Dash's body and pushed harshly on her inner muscles surrounding them.
“Nooo... stop!”
Twilight screamed trapped inside the two shields, crying without stop but more focus on to what happened to Rainbow Dash then her tears. Chrysalis ignore Twilight, she was to concentrated in making Rainbow Dash suffer beyond belief. Dash screamed and screamed in a never ending agony and tried desperately to break free but Chrysalis was far too superior in her grip over her. Her eyes were like two waterfalls and all she could see was Twilight further away, whimpering herself by seeing this on-going torture. Though no one really saw this then Chrysalis, knowing that she did it and Rainbow Dash who actually felt it. So while having her spikes inside Rainbow Dash, added the queen small razor sharp blades to come out from them, causing even more damage and pain.
Rainbow Dash's screams after that became awfully strange, she could barely breath and when she did, her lungs that expanded by the air only pushed her insides for more suffer.
“I... I do it... I lower my spell if you just stop hurting her!”
Twilight yelled when she had enough and didn't care anymore, Rainbow Dash of course heard this and regardless of her state so managed she to scream out.
“NOO TWILIGHT!”
But it was already too late, Twilight allowed her shield to fail and now only Chrysalis shield was left. But what Twilight quickly notice was that Queen Chrysalis didn't stop, she continued to harm Dash which made her confused beyond anything.
“It's... it's down... do you hear me... it's down... I give up!”
She continued to scream but Chrysalis ignored her too fully.
She was currently sawing in and out Rainbow Dash's body with her two hands and held a focus but cruel face while doing so. Twilight didn't understand a thing and was sweating as much as tears left her eyes.
She sprinted away to the middle of Chrysalis dark green bubble shield and aimed her horn to its inner surface. Her horn then started to glow like magma and a massive fire beam left her forehead to it. It hit the force field in a lump of thick floating lava but it did absolutely nothing, it only got stuck there for a while and then fell down onto the floor where it then slowly melted a small pit around itself.
Chrysalis continued to tormenting Rainbow Dash and Twilight felt how she was going to pass out soon. She did fall to the floor in front of her smoking lava pile and said this time not screaming, she was too weak to yell.
“Please Chrysalis... I beg you... stop... I do... I do anything you want... just... just stop.”
In a immediately flash Queen Chrysalis stopped moving about her made up hands inside Rainbow Dash and leered away at Twilight. Twilight looked up at her when Rainbow Dash screams finally took an end and followed with Chrysalis asking while Rainbow Dash was whimpering in the background.
“Anything?”
Twilight started to nod her head desperately and added quickly.
“Yes... yes... anything!”
Queen Chrysalis held Rainbow Dash still in place and with her spikes still in her, Rainbow Dash cried but Chrysalis didn't care, she only straighten her body a bit and said with a relived sigh.
“Finally.”
