Loke carried Lucy gently out of the cave. She was still unconscious, after using up so much of her

 magic power. He was pretty exhausted as well, but he knew he had to get Lucy to the village so

she could rest.

What was she thinking? Using such a powerful spell could have killed her.

  

He couldn’t help but be a little bit worried and frustrated. He didn’t want her to use all her power

like his previous master Karen.

 That was the first time I saw Orion and Andromeda’s master. They must have a hard time dealing

 with a master like that…

 He finally reached their destination, and the villagers greeted them happily at the sight of their long

 Loke watched the boy as he left, but directed his gaze back to Lucy. He grabbed a chair that was

near the bed, and took Lucy’s hand in his. All he could do for now was hope that she was having a

good dream.

Two days later…
