The Arcadia Chronicles III: Wood Elf Quest

A Moment With Him

Stein's POV

I carried Sylvana on my back as we went back to Liliana's place. I feel responsible for her mishap At least she's getting the hang of her training.

We arrived home after a while, Janus opened the door for me while I'm still on a distance from the door. I could feel her getting heavy on my back with every passing second so I carried her on my arms instead. Janus called Hurry up, Sir.

Okay, okay! When I'm on the porch, Anastasia is waiting on the door What did you do to her, Sir?

Just a little training accident.

I'm about to enter when I heard a loud bump, I look and saw that her head hit the doorway Sorry, Syl'! I shifted myself to enter then put her on the couch. I heard Liliana sigh This day sure is full of accidents - Alexander brought Kiyan in earlier and he's also unconscious, saying that he got hit by his eletric attack.

Janus reacted Huh?!

I thought dryly What a concidence.

Anastasia stepped forward with a bucket of water and cloth - she wet the cloth, squeezed out the excess water, and put it on her forehead. She frowned as she touched her forehead There's a slight bump, did she hit her head?

I'm about to reply when Janus replied sarcastically Yeah, a perfect headshot.

Anastasia said She might be wake up later, let's just let her rest.

Sylvana's POV

I don't know how long I was out but when I regained consciousness, I heard a familiar voice talking There, there Flame, I'm okay.

I can't afford to lose you Master, I failed you before and you got killed!

Come on, you're exaggerating.

I slowly opened my eyes and look around, realizing that I'm in Liliana's house. I saw Kiyan and his pet bird.

Kiyan noticed me Hello, Miss Sylvana, how are you?

I sit up, rubbing my forehead and feeling the slight bump there I have a slight headache. Liliana's voice rang behind me How are you, Syl'? I heard from Stein and Janus that you got hit on the head with a stick.
