Rei and company found themselves sprinting away from the dragon with a towering wingspan, it felt impossible to outrun. His 'magic' fascinated him, but did not have have the luxury to even give it a passing thought. A lithe figure dropped infront of them, pointed ears, another elf had jumped into their predicament. [i]Another[/i] dragon had swooped into the scene, dashing right past them and into the much, much more gigantic dracolich. [i][color=FFBF00]Is it attempting to save us?[/color][/i] Rei thought, glancing over his shoulder, noticing the all too familiar look on the male elf's face.

During their sprint, Corvina hung onto his arm. She looked pale and unwell, moreso than before. Rei was confused for a moment due to her apologizing- there was no reason to do so, atleast in his eyes. [b][color=FFBF00]"It's alright."[/color][/b] Rei said, unsure if she was still able to hear him. Luckily he had decent stamina, despite his sneakers not being made for running, he supported her weight through the run. It was little trouble for him, if he could help her out, he would.

Finally, they had been ushered into a damp cave. Corvina mentioned a cave of wonders then promptly passed out. Even before fainting, she found it within herself to crack a joke. Rei noticed her shivering slightly; he took off his hoodie sweater, revealing a plain white t-shirt and turned it inside out, placing it ontop of the sleeping Corvina. His eyes then fell to the two elves who seemed to not be getting along well. With Kenia engaging in a spat with the newly joined male elf. She even pressed a dagger to his throat which caused Rei to jump up, [b][color=FFBF00]"Hey, hey, you two look as old as I am."[/color][/b] Rei said, sweeping the area infront of him with his arm, [b][color=FFBF00]"But surely you elves must be more older and more mature than [i]this[/i]."[/color][/b]

[b][color=FFBF00]"Were the stories about elves being filled with wisdom and maturity just not true?"[/color][/b] Rei continued, knowing that that they were likely just embellished-fantastical stories, though his preconceptions of elves were gone. They felt just like humans, which was slightly comforting and worrying. Minus the elves otherworldly beauty, dragons and magic. It felt like a bad DnD fever dream. [b][color=FFBF00]"Though, Kenia, ease off the guy a little, take a good look at his face."[/color][/b] Rei said, [b][color=FFBF00]"He just lost someone important to him."[/color][/b]

[b][color=FFBF00]"That aside, don't either of you have any sort of 'healing' magic, is that a thing here in Avey- Ava- Avalia, was it?"[/color][/b] Rei questioned, [b][color=FFBF00]"That girl- Corvina, needs it, and it's seems a little more important than this squabble."[/color][/b]

Now that the adrenaline has worn off, a sudden tiredness and heaviness overtook his limbs. Rei had been up for about 3 days before being whisked into Avalia. Try as he might, he found himself leaning back into the cave wall and sliding down into the floor. [b][color=FFBF00]"Godamnit."[/color][/b] Rei said, struggling to keep his eyes open, [b][color=FFBF00]"We'll talk about what the hell all this is tomorrow."[/color][/b] With that he nestled his head into his knees and dozed off.
