As the assassin in his Gray coat prepares to charge, Abigail jumps at him. The Nether creature manages to dodge the strike and retaliate by hitting Abigail's arm with its Katana. Abigail had to take a few steps away from the assassin and turned to block a second strike. She when pushed the Assasin sword to the side and cut him in the chest causing him to fall back. At this moment Rain attacked the entity with the ender greatsword. Rain swung the heavy sword against the Assasins katana, the two weapons clashed. The assassin then pulled his sword upwards causing Rain to have the greatsword fly up. As he realized it he pulled the sword back down trying to hit the Assign, he saw that coming and moved to the side, with no protection the Assasin struck Rain's right eye. Rain fell back in pain as the Assasin prepared to strike him again. As he attacked the Ruby Thorn pierced through the assassin's body. Abigail then pulled it out and kicked the assassin causing him to fall to the ground. As he hit the ground the only thing the assassin saw was the glowing peak of the Ruby Thorn going into his face as he passed away.

"Rain are you alright!" Abigail asked while pulling her weapon out of the assassin's body.
Rain would open his eye, it was glowing in white purple color

Abigail would look at rain surprised, as Rain blinked his eye would turn back to normal. They would then start checking up on Stella. She was still passed out. Rain pulled the knife out of Stella's chest. Upon closer inspection, he could see a blue liquid on it.

"Hey Abigail, do you know what that is?" Rain asked her in hopes she might have seen it during her time in the Nether.
"Oh, that's very strong sleep medication. Assasins of the nether use it to take out targets which they don't want to kill on sight." Abigail replied.
"So she will wake up?" Rain re-assured himself.
"Well, if she doesn't bleed out she should be fine." Abigail replied.
"Oh, right." Rain said as he pulled out a bandage and started bandaging Stellas wound.

Rain would finish up and turn around as he saw Abigail in a tense posture.

"Abigail, if it were more than one the others would have made a move by now." Rain told her in the hope she would relax a bit.
"Urgh, we could have lost her, or you or me." She said.
"Abigail..." Rain would get up and slowly approach her.
"I-I can't lose you. Not again." Abigail would say as she lowered her head.
"You won't lose me, and if it really happens you will be just fine without me." Rain said as he stopped in front of her.
"Eheh, I could never move on from you. I have known you for too long to just forget you." Abigail replied as she placed her weapon on her back.

Rain and Abigail would hug each other as the moon was shining brightly above them.

The next morning...

Abigail would wake up lying next to the fire. She got up and yawn for a few seconds. As she looked around she saw Rain sitting on the log behind her.

"You know, you are so peaceful while you sleep." He said.
"Have you been watching me the entire night?" Abigail asked him.
"No no, I looked around every few minutes as well." Rain replied.
"Sure." Abigail said as she got up from the ground.
"Hungry?" Rain would ask her.
"Uh, a bit." Abigail would say knowing that she could have a full meal right about now.
"I picked a few apples." Rain said as he threw one over to her.

Abigail would catch it and sit down on the log next to Rain. She would start eating as Rain got up and walked over to Stella.

"She is still sleeping." Rain said worriedly.
"It takes a few hours until she wakes up." Abigail said.
"If she doesn't wake up soon we will need to carry her. We need to keep going." Rain said as he turned back to Abigail.
"Well, I certainly won't carry her." Abigail said.
"Why didn't I know this would be stuck on me." Rain said back.
Abigail would respond with a light smile on her face.

Rain lifted Stella on his back and they continued their path back home. As they walked over a cliff the earth suddenly started to shake. Through the shaking, Stella woke up and panicked. In the struggle Rain and Stella fell down to the ground.

"NO!" Abigail shouted as she jumped after them.

After a short fall, she landed Rain and Stella got up again. The fall didn't cause any injuries.

"Are you two alright?" Abigail asked.
"We're fine." Rain replied.
"Urgh, I have a headache. What happened?" Stella complained.
"Well..." Abigail said.

"Well well well, fancy seeing the Nether Princess out here." A voice would say.
