We all put our hands in a circle and from that day on, were know as, The Shallow Saviors. We would protect those who could not protect themselves. Once that was established, we started our training. We trained hard and became very strong within a year. I learned some new abilities, and built up my strength in order to protect the girls. I hadn't used Shallows power for that whole year, and got to experience a lot of pain. All I ever thought about was the girls, and that's what kept me going. I went to go see how the girls were doing and found Alexis passed out in a field and I ran over to her.

Henry: Alexis!

I gently sat her up.

Henry: Hey! Are you ok?!

Alexis: (Moans).

Henry: Ah, I can just use my healing power and... (Oh yeah, I told myself that I wouldn't rely on his power).

Shallow: Well well well, looks like someone's got resolve.

Henry: (Oh shut up Shallow). (Hey wait, can you hear my thoughts).

Shallow: Yep.

Alexis: (Moans)

Henry: Grr, just this once.

Shallow: No!

Henry: Why not?!

Shallow: Cause I respect your resolve!

Henry: ...

Shallow: If you really want to get stronger, then swallow your pride, and deal with it.

Henry: (Looks at Alexis), Fine.

I picked Alexis up, took her inside, and laid her down on the floor.

Henry: I'll be back soon.

I ran of to go and find Asuna. I searched everywhere. Eventually, I did find her. She was in a field of grass and barely standing, and there was someone else there, but before I could see what they looked like, they vanished.

Henry: Asuna!

Asuna: Henry.

She started to fall back and I ran over to her and caught her.

Henry: Who did this to you?

Asuna: T-they were, looking, to kill us. I, I tried to push them back, but, they were, to strong.

Henry: Alright, now save your energy. I'll take you inside to rest.

Asuna: But why don't you just heal me?

Henry: Rrr, I just, my power is, oh we don't have time for this.

I took her inside and laid her down next to Alexis. When I was about to leave, Asuna grabbed my leg.

Asuna: Wait. Can we talk?

Henry: Sure.

I sat down next to her and listened closely.

Asuna: Can you to do me a favor?

Henry: Yeah, sure, anything, just name it.

Asuna: I want to you to train me and Alexis.

Henry: ?

Asuna: If you trained us, then we could be strong enough to protect each other, instead of just you protecting us.

Henry: But I'm ok with protecting you guys. It gives me a sense of purpose.

Asuna: I just don't want to have to rely on you for everything.

Alexis: S-she's right.

Henry and Asuna: ?

Alexis: We need to b-be able to p-protect ourselves
