Section 5

  Part VI Moving On

  Draxson Pov

  I looked upon TreeLif leFatt as he stood on the metal monster we defeated, no more than twenty minutes ago, holding a girl whose helmet had been removed from her suit of armour by the throat. A dark purple energy laced with dark green, some sort of nature majic variation, but that didn’t matter, the energy left him and flowed through bulging blood veins in the woman’s neck.

  He, TreeLif LeFatt, was torturing the girl; I could see from here that she had the youthful face of a young woman, opposed to that of a mature adult. She was in great pain; what she was suffering was unfathomable to me, but I felt sympathy, just a little bit of pity for her, because I understood how she must be feeling. Alone, in pain, in desperate yearning to be saved by someone, anyone at all, anything would be better to her than the pain she was in right now.

  I decided I would be that person, the one to save her from torture, even though I was also angry with her and her companions for what they had done, but no one deserved this much pain.

  I opened a mental path between Phaz and me. Phaz accepted my connection into her mind.

  Draxson: Phaz, I’m going to stop TreeLif from doing something he’s going to regret doing or turn him to violently accomplishing his goals, and hurting more of them, the people like that young woman TreeLif is tormenting. Phaz Will You help me?

  Phaz: Yes, I will help, it's making me sick, sensing all the negatively twisted and hatred filled energy he’s radiating.

  Draxson: Thank you, now here's the plan, I’m going to get up their and try to get TreeLif to let go of his captive, even if it takes a little bit of force, and if and when he resists and refuses to listen to me, I need you to warp/teleport/phase him in front of you upon my visual signal of a closed left fist and mental signal of a “do it” . Can you do that Phaz?

  Phaz: I can, I am ready to do it when you say.

  Draxson: Good, thank you, I am going to stop him now.

  I ran barefoot, without my boots on so my clawed feet wouldn’t ruin them and so I had better grip on the snowy ground when I launched myself into the air with my Dragon legs. I pushed up off the ground and flew into the air flying to my landing spot. I landed without a sound on my bare Friel feet.

  I spoke to TreeLif in a low tone:

  “Stop” I said

  “Get out of th…” TreeLif attempted to say.

  “Just stop, I get it I truly do. Calm down, let her go.” I gently stated.

  “No!” TreeLif snapped back.

  I griped tighter and as TreeLif swung his left arm to aim the strange destructive weapon at me. Once the gun was pointed as me I sqeeezed tightly on TreeLif’s arm sinking my claws into his flesh.

  I clenched my left fist, and signaled to Phaz

  Draxson: Do it

  As energy the colors black, yellow, blue, brown and all the other shades of the rainbow color scheme, wrapped around us and began transporting us I readied myself for phasing. The weapon went off with a loud Bang! as it fired from it’s cannon like barrel, missing me by inches and powered through some leaves and braches behind us, he readied to fire again.

  The sound of burlbling and sloshing of water crashing upon us like waves as we phased away from untop of the metal monster to a spot on the ground maybe a dozen strides away.

  *sploosh

  Like that we were relocated right in front of Phaz, who stood in her Anthropomorphic beast-kin form, standing on both her bare feet/paws? Whatever not that relevant I guess, anyways she was poised to strike with Sopheia’s sword, which was dropped on the floor when she collapsed into unconsciousness, Phaz was waiting for her cue to Pin TreeLif to the ground with the blade.

  In What felt like a minute, but was in reality only a dozen or so seconds I tightened my grip on TreeLif’s arm, my claws further sinking in drawing more blood because of the growing wound, I contorted my body, flexing all of my muscles and twisted to my right as I leveraged TreeLif off the ground I swung him by the arm over my shoulder in an arch. He landed with a heavy thump as he hit the multi-color energy stained snow covered ground (the ground was stained multiple colors because of the nature of how Phaz uses majic energy of the different majical elements that compose an organisim, to transport said target to another spot with a sufficiently dense majic density, the same type of the being transported targets. If she had to she could bend away enough energy to transport her targets to where she wanted rather than just a few feet away from her targets original area. Its a very complicate thing and I will later divulge you in the complete ablity breakdown at a later time) Anyways right after Treelif landed on his back I transformed my legs again and stomped down first on his uninjured left arm, which was still holding that weapon, but was loosed from his hand with my strike. With my other Dragon foot I stomped on his arm crushing his elbow until his bones audibly cracked as they broke.

  TreeLif shouted and screamed in pain as his arms were fracturing and especially when his elbow was broken. His majically enhanced screams started to hurt mine and Phaz’s ears to the point where they bled a little, and a trickle of bloof travled from our ears and dripped off our chins.

  Phaz tossed me my spear as she held the tip of Sopheia’s sword an inch away from TreeLif’s Jugular. I in a likewise manner held the tip of my spear right in front of Treelif’s neck, ready to sink it if he didn’t surrender his plans to torment that little girl in that assassins suit of armor.

  “TreeLif, you need to stop your evil plans to torment that girl over there right now, or I might just have to injure you to a state akin to death. You’ll need a very gifted priest to bring you back from such a stasis, and how your acting right now isn’t building you a good case for why such power should be used on you.”

  “Just let go of your hatred for that woman and her people for just long enough to clear your head so you can think calmly and rationally.” I said in a low tone trying to persuade TreeLif to relax. A moment after I spoke, Frost started to form along mine and Phaz’s arms and hands. I, along with TreeLif and Phaz turned our heads to see Sopheia sitting up with her left arm aimed at us casting the spell that was coating us in thin ice layers, but still thick enough to get us to stop.

  Sopheia’s expression was far from happy, she looked grumpy and pained because she was forcefully woken up by the loud noises of fighting. Sopheia spoke up and expressed her displeasure with the situation, “ *sigh, you three. What in the world happened here, that caused you to be as you are now? Draxson why are you aiming a spear at TreeLif’s neck right now!?! And Phaz! What are you doing holding the blade of my sword so close to his Jugular vein!?! You could easily kill with such a cut.” Sopheia let out an esasperate sigh before she began lecturing us on how badly we messed TreeLif up. “You not only sunk you claws into his arm Draxson, but also fractured the bones in his right arm. Then you heavily fractured, well probably broke the bones in his right arm; to make matters worse you broke the already fractured bones in his left arm with your heavy dragon stomp. Guys you’ve made such a mes for me to clean up, untop of all the injuries we sustained from our fight with yon Metal Monster over their” Sopheia said pointing in its direction, “You’re going to have to explain all of this situation I must have missed” Sopheia said looking around her, probably spotting the metal monster in ruins and the gaurds from Levies Da Tru standing around watching us.

  “I don’t even know where to start asking questions, but I think asking why there is a woman in shiny color shifting armor collapsed on the ground, as she cries and groans in pain? Whats up with that? Huh? Anyone care to answer me?” Sopheia said as we looked at her still in shock over her stopping us with ice majic after she just exhausted herself to the point of collapse half an hour ago. I shook my head to clear away the shock and replied, “it’s a long story Sopheia, but I’ll tell you if you would release this Ice of my arms locking them in place, so I can get this spear away from TreeLif’s neck. Could you please do that, its freezing my scaly arms.

  Sopheia released the spell of frost she had on mine and Phaz’s arms, we both stepped away from TreeLIf aiming our weapons away from him before lodging them into the ground.

  “ I don’t care how long the story is I want to hear every detail!” Sopheia shouted at all three of us, me, Phaz, and TreeLif.

  We recounted the events to here starting from the moment right after the metal monster collapsed onto its knees, still somehow standing, then recounted the explosion from one of the assasin’s armor, with the assistance of a bird that happened to see what happened; Treelif has called such bird to help provide a perspective of things we couldnt see, TreeLif was translating all of the birds chirps into the common words he used to tell it’s ariel perspective. It took about half an hour to explain everything that happened from each of our perspectives, which we told once at a time; luckily that was enough time for the guards of Levies Da Tru to carry away the heavily tormented and injured body of the asssasin woman. They had left without as much as a single sound, which was great because Treelif didn’t notice the assassin being carried away and try to cast some terrible spell on her.

  After each of us were done speaking, Sopheia took a few moments to piece together the story we were telling her, before she said “You know what, thats all so complicated and hard to understand that I can’t make sense of it right now. Just carry me away from here for now while my body rests and my mind thinks until we get to a place where we can camp for the night and rest. I’m tired, and I’m oh so hungry that I don’t have the energy to scold or lecture any of you right now. Let’s just get out of here and get moving while we still have some daylight, they aren’t going to want us here -mostly because of Mr Treelif LeFatt over here- when they come collect the bodies for burial.”

  “Phaz please carry me first since your the least injured and most energetic.” Sopheia said streching her arms out to Phaz as she walked up to hoist her onto her back.

  “Sure” Phaz plainly stated as she picked Sopheia up and carried Sopheia on her back.

  A few hours later

  Sopheia Pov

  I woke the first time from my rest when Phaz Transfered me to TreeLif, who healed himself enough to carry me with the assistance of the vines he usually used to hold his pack to his back, the vines secured itself tightly round my waist and TreeLif’s stomach. TreeLif had my hands locked into place around his chest with similar vines anchored to his arms, while he himself carried me with his arms under my thighs.

  TreeLif walked at a decent pace with my added weight on his back, I actually found it impressive for him to carry me with his lean looking muscles, but that feeling faded away as I realized I was being retrained by plants again, just like in the tournament semi-finals just yesterday afternoon. It gave me what you might call ptsd, as a shiverd recalling how unpleast it was to be contricted by tree roots.

  And then I fell asleep again for what I was told was a couple of hours, because I just had to overthink about my situation.

  This time I awoke being carried, gently but firmly enough by Draxson. Oh my dear friend Draxson, they way he held me with his hands on my lower thighs, made my heart skip a beat. I unexpectedly blushed as I put to much thought into his actions. I was grateful he couldn’t see my face because I was surely as pink in the face as a ripe watermelon, I was embarrassed to be reacting this way because I was simply being carried by Draxson. I felt momentary shame for my thoughts before I dismissed them and treated Draxsons touch as nothing more than him geting a good stable hold on my legs so I wouldn’t fall on my tail end. I just enjoyed the moment of being carried on his sturdy packless back. I smiled to myself while keeping my eyes closed, just enjoying the moment.

  I wrapped my arms tightly around Draxsons chest, holding unto him until I fell asleep again for only thirty minutes this time. I awoke this time as Draxson set me down on a cushion borrowed from Treelif, propped me up against the trunk of a tree, then wrapped a warm blanket around my body, and his scarf my dad gifted him was loosely and amply around my neck protecting me against the bitter than usual cold of the area. I was excited to leave the snow covered north, in exchange for some grassy plains. If TreeLif was telling the truth, we would be in such a beautifully green place by the evening of tomorrow if we set out no later than 1 in the afternoon.

  I was back to sleep, this time resting against a tree, for but a few minutes before my Body told me it had enough rest for the time being and that it was time to get my muscles moving again. I yawned and stretched my arms out from my blanket, well actually Draxson’s blanket because he was probably to nervous to rummage through my bag for mine and accidentally come across a peice of clothing he would be embarrassed to touch. It’s just cloth and fabric to me wheter I’m wearing it or not, just another thing I didn’t understand about Draxsn. Oh how he is, and was so bold to kiss me on the cheek and neck not to long ago, but was afraid to touch my undergarments while I’m not wearing them. It’s like whatever dude it’s just underwear. I’m not wearing it and your not acting creepy about it so it shouldn’t bother you so much. I thought. Oh well I guess that’s just how Draxson is, and I respect and love that about him; that yeah he’s bold and teases me alot but he’s very respectful of my boundaries.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  I sat up straight against the tree I was resting on and let Draxson’s blanket fall upon my legs. I slowly began to rise from my sitting position, my back and legs aching as I stood up and Streched again.

  I looked around me to see everyone, Draxson, Phaz, and TreeLif all resting against a tree, likely exhausted from the walk and carrying me. I felt kinda bad about making them carry me until I remembered why I made them do that.

  Oh yeah I needed them to work together as a team, and thought if one of them was carrying me it could prevent them both from fighting each other, and just because I said so as Party Leader.

  (optional)

  Hold up let me pull you away from the narrative I am giving you because, I feel the need to apologize to you for how confusing what I am relaying to you, It won’t be going on in a confusing manner from much longer, I entered this part of my experience on this journey when I was so, very tired and not really able to differentiate between what was important to tell you and what was just my brain running thoughts through my head to keep me awake; And I admit that I was too lazy to rewrite this section of my notes just because I didn’t have space to write the important things, But if you don’t mind if what I am telling you is easily understandable then, I ask you forgiveness. You could just skip this part, here. I added the marker “Optional” above this note.

  If you are still interested in understanding what happened then, all you need to know is that my party, TreeLif, Phaz, and Draxson, in case you're confused, carried me for several hours without much hindrance.

  They encountered a small herd of rabbits, about 20, just hopping right along their path without paying us much attention. Ah just forget that, the rest of their trek was unabated. We ended up arriving at our camping spot a couple of hours before sunrise, about 7.50 or 7:40 if that helps you understand, now that sums up everything up until I finally awoke and went to check on my party and assess their condition.

  (continue here)

  I first went to check up on Phaz, she was sitting on her haunches next to Draxson as he slept against a tree, one of his many books open on his chest, the title on the cover was “Mistborn” by some Brandon Sanderson.

  “Hey Phaz”, “How are you doing buddy?” I said squating down to pet her.

  “Woof” Phaz replied

  “I don’t have any idea what you just said, but you’re so adorable.”

  The magical words “Get your hands off me, I’m not a pet” appeared in front of me over Phaz’s head. I immediately took my hand back and apologized, “I’m sorry Phaz, you're just so… cute and fluffy” I said, nearly reaching my hand to scratch her head again, Phaz gave me a toothy smile, showing me her fangs. “Am I cute now?” The words read over her head as she opened her very large mouth to show me all of her many sharp teeth, by the way I didn’t mention that Phaz is a little bigger than a dire wolf, her brothers were the size of gray wolves. So yeah I was being very silly to be treating Phaz the massive dire wolf like she was a puppy. But could you really blame me? She is just adorable, you’ll see a picture of her later in my notes. “Yes you're so cute, you have such a big smile.” I said, smiling back at her, showing her my fangs.

  She responded with a low growl.

  “Yeah yeah, I said I’m sorry, I just wanted to check up on you and heal any injuries you may have. Would you allow me to check you out?”

  “Arf” Phaz responded

  “Could you please do the majical letters you do or speak in common, I don’t know if you're saying yes or no. And I won’t forcefully examine you if you don't want me to check up on you.”

  “Yark Yark Yark Yark Yark!” Phaz stated, in a manner that sounded like a laugh.

  There was a sudden explosion of light and then Phaz in her beast-kin form appeared in front of me, sitting with her legs under her. Phaz began speaking, not barking but she started saying things I could understand.

  “Look! Now you can understand me and not have to dig through a lot of fur to check my body, but sorry to disappoint I already mended my superficial scratches on my paws, at the expense of my own energy, so I can’t travel any further today, and if doesn’t bother any of you I would like to sleep for a few hours once you heal my mouth. I could watch with one of you later tonight but I need a minimum of 4 hours to get the rest I need.

  So can you heal my mouth so I can go to sleep please?”

  Phaz said, opening her mouth wide to show me her chipped teeth and the scratches on the roof of her mouth.

  “Oooh, that looks pretty painful, but there's no time for such comments so let’s just see what I can do about it.”

  “Hmm” I said as I held the top of Phaz’s mouth and tilted it back so could see how bad the scratches on her mouth were. The cuts were deep and spread across her mouth evenly, because she bit into the metal monster earlier and the broken metal pieces cut the roof of her mouth and shattered her teeth in a few places. The back teeth and a fang on the middle right of her mouth.

  “It’s an easy fix” I said, still holding onto the top half of her muzzle. I looked down at Phaz, who was looking up at me questioning my actions. “Sorry Phaz, It’s going to hurt a little bit, and I’m going to have to apply something to the roof of your mouth, so please don’t bite me” I said letting go of Phaz’s mouth. I looked around searching for my bag and spotted it by TreeLif, I went to retrieve it asking Phaz to remain where she was, “Please wait right there for me Phaz, I need to get something to treat those cuts on your mouth.”

  Phaz didn’t respond in acknowledgement or protest, and was still where I left her, mouth still open when I brought the medicine to her. “Okay, this will just take a moment, You’ll probably want to snap your jaw shut as soon as I spread this paste on the roof of your mouth, but I plead that you won’t cause me to lose my finger today. Just breath and try not to use that phasing majic you have to avoid the treatment. You ready?” I asked

  A hint of fear still persisting in my voice, despite reminding myself of Solina’s teachings.

  You can do this Sopheia, nice and carefully.

  “Open wide Phaz” I said for no real reason, and immediately realized how silly it was to ask her to open her mouth wide when she already had it open enough to eat a whole chicken.

  “Ahhhhh” Phaz said, and to my utter surprise she opened her jaw even wider, not a lot but it was terrifying to see it so wide and dangerous. “By the forces of life, I’m glad that’s not the last thing I’ll see before I die; hopefully” I whispered. Just get it done Sopheia, treat your patient already.

  “Okay here I go.” I said as I took a finger out of the jar of healing cream and wiped the substance on the roof of her mouth, then I slowly retracted my hand away from her many sharp teeth “woo, that wasn’t so bad was it? Phaz…? What are you doing? No no, What are you doing? Stop that Phaz Nooooo!” I said as I reached out to push her tongue down and freeze it to the bottom of her mouth before she could successfully lick the healing cream… And it was at that moment, that I knew that I messed up. “Eeek, yuuug bleeegh, That tastes wonderfully rancid, *retching noises”, Oh no

  *Snap

  Phaz swiftly snapped her jaw shut…I was too late to pull my hand back and she… bit my hand

  …

  …

  …

  A pained scream from my hand rang so loudly across my body, threatening to escape audibly.

  “Auuuughghhghghghg” I screamed so loudly.(Was that the bite of 87?!?)

  She bit my f….. {we’ll be right back}

  My damned hand that ….. { we’ll be right back}

  Oh my forces of life you Bit my damn hand, why the, *heavy breathing, why did you do that? I told you not to bite my hand. I’ll have to do this the hard way.”

  I dropped the vial of healing cream into the snow at my feet as I shrouded my right fist in a thick layer of frost. I swung at Phaz, aiming for her throat so she would let go of my crushed hand, luckily it wasn’t severed from my arm, I knew it was only shattered and pierced because I instinctively shrouded my left hand and forearm with as much frost as I could, but surely my hand was in critical condition if not mutilated.

  My fist connected with Phaz’s thin human sized throat and caused her to spit out my hand. I pulled my hand back as far as I could from the mouth of the beast, the sight of my limp, broken and bleeding hand terrified me, and a scream threatened to escape my lips.

  I held my broken, and bitten left hand in my right, cradling as I prepared to chant a healing spell. *whimpers

  I turned my gaze back to Phaz who had turned back to her wolf form, whimpering and holding one hand over her muzzle and one to her neck where I punched her.

  The fear, shame, and remorse was heavy in her eyes, as I approached her, which caused her to continue to whimper as she backed away from my surely scary face.

  “Look what you did to me Phaz! You Bit my hand, you could have Bitten it OFF!, get over here now, and I promise I won’t hurt you.” I said rubbing my wounded hand with my good hand. When I finished casting my spell, my hand was revealed to be heavily scared, but functional as I rolled my hand back and forth on my healed wrist. It hurt like eternal blazes but I extended the claws of my left hand followed by my right.

  Phaz back away from me, I lunged at her to grab her lower jaw with my right and dig my left into the roof of her mouth to force heal the wound instantly. *fwoooosh

  Phaz’s body became an assortment of colors as she phased away a few meters behind where she stood a second ago. My momentum brought me to the ground as I missed my disappearing target by inches. I picked myself out of the snow and lunged at Phaz, again she disappeared right before I could get my hands on her long enough to freeze her in place. This went on for about 10 minutes before I was tiredly swinging my fists and slashing with my claws, I was so exhausted from trying to catch the elusive Phantom wolf.

  Luckily she was getting tired too, Phaz was panting and losing her color because of the repeated phases. I chucked an icicle at one of her back paws, she was barely able to avoid it, I took that as a sign that If I could just use a burst of energy, use everything I have left to tackle Phaz and force her mouth open and frozen in place as I forcefully healed the cuts in her mouth and poured some calcium down her throat to repair the broken teeth.

  *heavy wolf panting noises

  I took my chance and with an explosion of energy, and adrenaline pumping through my veins, I leaped from my spot and tacked Phaz onto her side. Then I tightly wrapped my legs around her mid section as I rolled Phaz unto her back. I froze Phaz’s paws and legs to her body with my left hand as I reached with my right to force Phaz’s jaw open so I could treat her. I took my left hand off Phaz’s body and pried the top of her mouth open and placed my left palm over the cuts on the roof of her mouth,despite how much it hurt my freshly healed hand I began running majic into her mouth. Meanwhile I kept Phaz’s jaw open with my right and ran frost through the veins in her neck and froze the muscles that controlled her jaw. My fingers started to bleed as I firmly held my palm to the top of her mouth as she violently shook her head trying to loosen my grip. I impaled my hands on her top fangs to keep my palm steady and in place as I finished the healing spell.

  A minute later of fighting the ever increasingly exhausted Phaz, the spell was complete and the roof of her mouth was healed, I withdrew my left hand from her mouth, blood dripping rapidly and abundantly from it, and cast it to my waist to retrieve a vial of calcium. I ripped the cork out of the vial’s mouth with a claw, before dumping the contents down Phaz’s throat and throwing the vial to the ground. I rolled off Phaz unto my back sighing, I took a deep breath in and exhaled loudly.

  “I’m sorry that I had to be so rough with you, but you needed to stay still while I worked so, please don’t hate me for having to force you to stay still.” I got a weak whimper in response as Phaz disappeared into a cloud of colorful smoke repairing a moment later in her beast-kin form, this time drained of all the color drained from her, except her irises which were full of swirling about wisps of iridescent shades, as she peered into my eyes, analyzing my expression. “Look what your fangs did to my hand Phaz, my hands all bloody and covered in holes again, you really owe me the energy I expended healing you and to fix my hand again.” I said raising my bleeding hand above my head for her to see, before dropping it to my stomach, covering it with my good hand to mend the major wounds and stop the bleeding. I dropped my left hand to my chest as I turned back to look Phaz in the eyes.

  She looked tired and pained, but there was also a touch of regret in her eyes. I grabbed Phaz’s left with my right and gently squeezed her dominantly paw-like hand, it sounded off a soft squeak. I gently, but firmly held Phaz’s hand and spoke softly, “Look it’s not to big of an issue since I was able to keep you from biting my hand off, but you need to listen better when I tell you something while treating an injury. *sigh, If you keep violently reacting like that, I’ll have to resort to putting you to sleep every time I need to treat you. But don’t worry about that now Phaz, I forgive you and understand why you reacted so to the feeling of the healing cream and its horrible taste. Trust me I get it, I nearly scratch the skin off of anyone who’s tried to help me and the treatment hurts. Just don’t do it anymore okay?” I asked, smiling at Phaz who gave a weak smile in return. Phaz spoke up and said “I, I’m, I am sorry Sopheia, I regret biting your hand and being such a troublesome beast when you were just trying to treat me, But I also want to thank you for…. *snore”

  Phaz didn’t finish her sentence as she fell asleep, reverting to her large and fluffy wolf form a moment later, snoring softly. I closed my eyes and thought to myself oh Phaz, “what will I do with you, ya rascal” I said rolling over to stroke her fur.

  I stroked Phaz’s fur until my eyes began to feel heavy, and I nestled up to Phaz, sank my hand into her soft and fluffy fur until I fell asleep a moment later stroking Pha’z hair thinking how soft and cuddly Phaz was.

  Phaz and I slept together like this for a few hours when Draxson’s gentle stroking of my hair woke me. I kept my eye closed not wanting Draxson to stop stroking my hair. I however opened my eyes a bit to see he was scratching Phaz behind her ears with his left hand, as he also scratched behind my ears with his right hand. I purred and leaned into the scratch as Draxson whispered. “Your both so cute sleeping together.” he sighed in delight before leaning into my ear and whispering, “I noticed you were awake, but anyways I’m glad to see you and Phaz getting along now. But I think it’s time you both got up for some dinner I made. Come on and eat while the foods still warm, TreeLif got himself a plate already but he’s been moping and sitting against a tree the whole meal and is eating in silence; he makes for a horrible dinner companion so I thought it was time to wake you up.” “And surely you and Phaz are hungry after how exhausting and hectic this day has been for all of us, especially you.” Draxson said raising his voice to right below his usual talking volume, which caused Phaz to stir in her sleep. We both watched Phaz roll over and continue to softly snore.

  Draxson POV

  Sopheia and I locked eyes, I gazed into her lovely light blue and green eyes. I said “ I guess you should wake her while I make you two plates.” I said leaning in to kiss Sopheia on the forehead before going to make her and Phaz a plate of tasty ham pizza with the side of honey bread sticks and spicy chicken wings I had been saving for a later meal, but thought it was better to incorporate it into a protein and energy rich meal that someone in another world might have often, while I could only prepare this bountiful feast for my friends a few times a year, Oh how I loved the recipe books from the other worlds that find their way into my possession.

  Anyways I prepared the plates I said I would and set them aside for the hungry ladies.

  Sopeia POV

  I woke Phaz up, mentioning that we had food waiting on us, my statement immediately brought Phaz to alertness, then she smelled the mentioned food and eagerly stood up to go eat Dinner with Draxson and I.

  It was a few hours later that Phaz went on watch duty with TreeLif for a few hours while, Draxson and I talked a bit before he suddenly brought up the idea to talk about the thing thats been bothering him so much recently.
