I woke up with Andr still asleep on my shoulder, but now she had a hold of my arm. I moved a little when I woke up causing her to snuggle her face closer to my arm. I can't take it anymore! I push her from my arm, startling her awake, and then I wrapped my arms around her.


"Stop it. You're killing me with cuteness," I said to a confused Andr in my arms.


"Sorry?" She said looking up at me. Really? I think she is doing it on purpose. I looked at a text bar in my lower corner of my vision. It read, "Steve killed Josh. Josh killed Steve," over and over again.


"Well I guess Steve and Josh already went home," I said stretching.


I walked into the room that they were fighting in previously and found it destroyed with their items lying all over the floor. I found Cupa and Kennadi asleep on the floor. I picked up their items and woke the sleeping girls. "Let's see how the building is going and then we should probably head home," I said checking the room one more time for anything that I might have missed.


Walking out of the building, I noticed most of the adventurers gearing up to leave. "What are you guys doing?" I asked a random adventurer close to me.


"We're finished. We rebuilt everything," he said walking away.


Just then the mayor walked up to me, "Oh! There you are Mike. I just wanted to thank you for what you did in helping protect and rebuild the city."


I shrugged, "Don't worry about it. Ask us for help if you ever need it."


He smiled, "You guys are the heroes of this city. We will forever be in your debt. As a show of our gratitude, we will let you rename the city."


I thought for a second before answering, "New Napal. We didn't do very much other than rebuild the city, so it should keep its original name."


After making sure I had all our gear, well mine anyways, we left the city. This is going to be a long walk since we don't have our horses and both of the idiots are already at home. After a while I could tell Andr was getting tired, so I stopped and offered to carry her on my back to which she happily agreed. She was still carrying the block of diamond we found near the lava. She held onto it with her arms going over my shoulders.


After an hour or so of walking, I felt something familiar, yet dangerous at the same time, a raindrop. Crap. My senses all went into overdrive instantly and began looking for something, anything to provide shelter from the rain. I found a hole in the ground that led to a cave about fifty meters away. Perfect. I shot forward without thinking leaving a blast of wind in my wake. It took only seconds to reach the opening of the hole and I jumped down into it right as the rain came pouring down.


"Just barely," I said setting Andr down in the cave and sighing in relief.


"Thanks again," she said blushing. Cupa and Kennadi came running in a few minutes later after I had just finished lighting up a portion of the cave with torches.


"How did you get here so fast?" Cupa said sitting down soaking wet.


Kennadi added in, "Yeah. Normal adventurers can't move that fast. You didn't even drink a potion." The realization struck me like a whip. I just ran fifty meters in a few seconds without a potion or anything.


"I have no idea. It felt like I was running like I normally do," I said curious at what I just did.


A few minutes later we could here galloping from horses draw closer. Suddenly two idiots jumped into the cave riding horses. "Steve!" and "Josh!" the two girls yelled at the same time, happiness in their eyes.


"Look who finally decided to show up," I said sitting down next to Andr.
