" Wake up Calliope," said Drakes waking her up. " Wait Drake I thought you were dead," said Calliope. " It was probably just a nightmare," said Drake. " Some people are here to see you ,they said they were old friends," said Drake as Wake ,Eloy ,Ezra ,and Nedra walked in. " Wake," yelled Calliope running and hugging Wake. " H...hey Calliope it's been a long time," said Wake as some steam came off his body. " I want to fight you," yelled Nedra running up to Drake. " Wait you're a Tiefling like me," said Drake. " I am?....I am," said Nedra realizing this. " Sorry about her she really likes to fight ,apologize Nedra," said Wake. " It's alright ,so Nedra was it you want to fight then let's fight," said Drake. " Take that outside," yelled a guard. " Nedra he is taller than you," said Wake as they walked out. " Yeah I know I can't wait to fight him," said Nedra. " Ok are you ready," asked Drake. " Yeah," yelled Nedra. " Go," yelled Drake rushing towards Nedra. Nedra went for a punch and hit him in the face knocking him away. " Oh that was a direct hit," said Wake. " Do you think he is ok," asked Ezra. " Woo hoo," yelled Drake getting up and punching Nedra in the face knocking her away. " This is amazing yelled Nedra pulling out her bat and swinging it at him and hitting him in the face knocking him down. " Nedra ,did you just kill him," yelled Ezra. " Nope," yelled Drake uppercutting her sending her into the air before he hit her down to the ground I a sledgehammer like motion. " N...Nedra is down," said Wake in shock. " Incredible," said Ezra. " That was fun let's do it again some time," said Drake offering his hand to help Nedra up. Nedra grabbed his hand blushing as he helped her up. " Wait is Nedra blushing," asked Wake. " Looks like someone likes the new guy," said Ezra laughing. " Hey that was amazing," said Eloy. " Yeah only one person has ever beaten Nedra and that was me," said Wake. " Whoever has been training her is doing a great job she it very powerful," said Drake. " T...thanks," said Nedra blushing. " I am the one who has been training her," said Wake. " Wait I know you," said Drake. " You do," asked Wake in confusion. " Yeah you and I grew up in the same village," said Drake removing his shirt to show the same mark on his chest. " W...what ,but I thought I was the only one to survive," said Wake. " I thought the same about me," said Drake. " Are we leaving or what," asked Calliope walking out. " Yeah coming," said Ezra. Nedra walked over to Wake and whispered something in his ear before running back to their ship. " Hey Drake ,Nedra was wondering if you would like to come with us," asked Wake. " Sure ,I'd like to fight her again sometime," replied Drake. After boarding their ship they left port heading out to sea. " Who is this," asked Grammy. " This is Drake he is a new member of the crew," said Wake. Nedra was over in the corner drawing. " Hey Nedra," said Drake walking over to her. She quickly hid her drawing. " Hi," said Nedra. " So what do you do for fun around here," asked Drake. " Wake trains me ,and I draw ,Wake likes to med-i-tate," said Nedra trying to say meditate. " Ok then I'll meditate," said Drake sitting down in front of Nedra as he started to meditate. Nedra pulled out a piece of paper and started to draw him as best she could. " What are you doin," asked Eloy walking up hide her. " Nothing," she yelled trying to cover the paper. " That looks good ,are you going to show Drake," asked Eloy. " No," said Nedra. " Why he'd like it," said Eloy. " She puts the paper in her pocket and goes to find Wake. " Wake I need to talk to you about something," said Nedra. " What is it Nedra," asked Wake. " I have a weird feeling in my tummy," said Nedra. " Maybe you're sick or hungry," said Wake. " No it feels like there are butterflies in my stomach and I didn't eat any of Grammy's butterflies bread," said Nedra. " Secret ingredient," yelled Grammy. " When did it start," asked Wake. " After my fight with Drake," said Nedra. " Oh in that case it's nothing to worry about go back to the dining area," said Wake. " Nedra's in love," thought Wake as Nedra walked back to the mess hall.
