Jesse walked down into the lab area, a bit scared, not knowing who could have made him suffer. He knew it wasn’t Lukas, at least he hoped so. Axel slowly approached him, hugging him tightly. “What’s wrong?” Jesse asked, confused. “I’m sorry we left you behind. I didn’t want to. I just followed Olivia, I don’t know why, I just did.” Axel answered.

Jesse stayed silent, thinking how to respond. He hugged him back. “It’s alright.” Jesse smiled, reassuring him. “Okay, what else can help Ellegaard and Jesse?” Lukas questioned. “I’m not sure.” Ivy sighed. “I barely remember anything. It was a long time ago.” Ivy admitted. Jessica started to pace, unsure. “I heard Dragon’s breath had some magical properties.” Jesse answered.

“I mean, we can try.” Ivy shrugged. “But who’ll go?” Axel pointed out. “I’ll head out again.” Jessica added. Ivy glared at her. “Jessica, you need time to heal, ghasts can cause severe burns, and yours isn’t an exception.” Ivy replied. Then, it came to her. “Jesse, you’ll go with Axel.” Ivy insisted. “But,-” Jesse placed his hand on Lukas’s shoulder, interrupting him. “I’ll be fine, I promise.” Jesse assured Lukas, smiling.

“What about you, Ivy?” Jessica added, ignoring the fact Jesse shouldn’t be doing a request like this, according to Lukas. “I’ll stay here.” She answered. Ivy took off her cloak, just revealing her clothing. “Take this, people can and WILL try to kill you.” Ivy insisted, handing it to Jesse. He hesitantly took it, nodding.
