"Ahh!" I smile, stretching, sitting up for the first time since the incident happened. It was only yesterday, but with the potions I had on me that I was hoping to save, I've pretty much fully recovered after a good nights rest.

"Good to see you've recovered." A friendly voice says from the door. I look up and am met with a warm smile.

"Garroth." I say, returning the smile.

"Heh. You know, I was expecting you to get up earlier." He snickers.

"Why? What time is it?"

"Lunch."

"What! Ugh... Aphmau told everyone to let me sleep in, didn't she?"

"You definitely needed it after yesterday."

"I'm a warrior, I don't need rest."

"You were impaled. Twice." He states, blankly with his arms folded.

"Okay... Point taken." I wink, making him laugh.

"Come on, I'll take you to Aphmau. She's with the girls. I have other business to attend to."

"Thank you."

He smiles and walks to the door, waiting for me.

"Well then, lets go." I smirk, standing up slowly. I follow Garroth carefully, not wanting to hurt myself again.

"Need any help?" He asks, holding the door open.

"No, thank you. I'm fine, just being cautious." I reply.

I sit down on the stairs, watching Dmitri and Nekoette~Tan tell the girls a story. Usually, I would have Phoenix sitting with them, but he used all his energy trying to protect me yesterday, and is resting in the spirit realm. Phoenix, as a familiar, helps me concentrate my magick... When I was trying to keep myself alive, he was too.

"I was about to give up, but then I realised I had made it to the top of the mountain

"Woow!" Alina coos.

"I decided to make camp for the night before I continued to look for the treasure! I kept walking, and I found a cave!" Dmitri explains.

"Dark!" Erin chimes.

"That's right, it was dark! But I always carry a flint and steel with me! So I fastened a torch with my bandages and a stick and went in! It felt safe, but then-oh!" Dmitri says.

"But then..." Alina adds.

"But then." Dmitri smiles.

"But then!" Lilith says, eyes wide open.

"A crazy dragon came out! And he's right behind us!" Nekoette yells.

Alina, Lilith and Erin scream, turning around to be faced with a woolly sheep covered in green paint.

"Get behind us girls! We're professional junior agent training! We'll see-" Nekoette states.

Alina, Lilith and Erin begin chasing the sheep with their sticks, trying out their new defence methods they were taught.

"Uhh, that was unexpected." Nekoette mutters.

"My sheep!" Dmitri exclaims.

Aphmau giggles, "You guys better not let Alina, Lilith or Erin hurt that poor sheep."

"Don't hurt my sheep friend!" Dmitri pleads.

"We didn't mean for that!" Nekoette explains..

"Well, you guys shouldn't have told them it was a dragon! You better tell them to be nice to dragons too!" Aphmau states.
