Addel glanced up from the bed to look at Julio. "You're back," he mused. It had taken some time, but the knights had finally brought him to the castle. He swallowed the water Julio offered gratefully before looking back at her. "We need to talk," he said seriously. "Who are you?" Before she could protest he interrupted by saying, "You and that dragon are connected somehow. It's fairly obvious." He sat up on the bed, wincing slightly. "I need to know who you really are. People's lives are at stake here, and I'm responsible for them," he pressed on.

"Tell me Julio. Who are you really?"

Mary shrugged. "I dunno. I just woke up in the forest one day....yeah...." This wasn't helping. But it seemed the girl honestly didn't know. Besides, there was something else on her mind. "Hey Justin? What do you think that...man wanted from me?" She looked around the cabin, afraid he would appear at any given moment. She couldn't quite explain it....but something about Samael just felt...off.

Speak of the devil. Samael whistled to himself lightly as he saw a most interesting sight. Lo and behold before him lay a large dragon, the same one from before. He could still see the wounds inflicted on it. Shaking his head and chuckling to himself, the dark man walked over to the dragon. No fear was exuded from him, just a cold curiosity.

"Well now. Where'd you get that nasty scratch?"
