Five uneventful months passed. All those months where spent planar surviving until we could use a rift. Mira and I became good and trusted friends. She told me about her culture while I told her about my friends.

We finally arrived at the last rift. We were in arcanis and assumed the form of pseudodragons to prevent the creatures there from noticing, although we had to stay clear from other dragons and wolves.

I opened the rift and she pulled me through it. As we exited the rift, we where back at that fateful graveyard. My party had already left, but I could track them down. The sun started to set, however, so we made a campfire and sat around it. "Aren't you weakened without a familiar? " "You know, I think you are right... Wait a moment! I still have my wolvern and swiftling!" I said and summoned my wolvern and the swiftling.

A swiftling mostly resembles a squirrel, although they have purple dragon wings, can breath energy and change shape to a more humanoid form. My swiftling was a female one- Starshine I named her. I had had her since I was 6 years old.

After explaining both of their races, she asked if I could tell about my party. "Sure. First of all, we have Velicity" I said and smiled at the memories that surfaced as a picture of her projected above the flames. Me discovering her in her cave, finding her in the magic item store, all the time we spent talking during the long hikes and rides to the locations, facing each other in the arena, escaping together, meeting Sparks, learning a scrap of our future, watching the sunset together, flying over the dale and fighting enemies.

The smile disappeared as I remembered the times I was separated from her; the first time I died, the second one, the time before the arena and now. "Velicity is a very important person to me." "You mean as in a crush?" "... Kinda? " "Just tell her. You're a nice person and I'm sure she'll like you,too." "Thanks. Anyway, this is Sparks" I said, willing to change the subject. Then, I noticed Mira's eyes where twinkling as she looked at Sparks' image. Talking about a crush... "Can I ask you something private? " "Sure, fire away." "What is Sparks like?" "He's a nice person, kind, and a skilled planeshifter and adventurer. Don't worry, you'll meet him tomorrow, so you can see for yourself. Speaking of, it's time for me to sleap. Nerra, can you stand guard tonight?" "Sure!" "Ok. Good night! " I said before sleeping in.
