"Where... where are we...?" Alicia asked, finding the strength to speak.

"Don't try to talk." Gareth said softly. "We're getting you out of Dangruf right now. Why did you go alone? That was beyond reckless."

"You just... asked me a question... and told me not... to talk..." Alicia weakly smiled. "I... wanted to complete the... mission..."

Gareth felt a twinge of sadness within him at her words. "Just like her..." He whispered.

"Who's... her?" Alicia blinked.

"Nothing." Gareth said quickly, blinking back a tear that threatened to escape him. "Don't talk, save your energy. Fenn and I'll get you out of here."

"Please... Just tell me... It's too... quiet anyways..." Alicia stated, closing her eyes.

"I'll tell you when we get back. For now, go back to sleep." Gareth began humming a Windurstian song he had heard back in his academy days, the tune belonging to an old bard's song about a maiden's spirit that returned to be with her lover even after her death.

"Sure... Thanks... both of you..." Alicia yawned and slowly drifted off...

Gareth looked down at the girl in his arms, noticing how doll-like she seemed. Alicia... He gently stroked her hair as he walked, noticing the color...

Do you want to here even more instruction?
"..." Fenn remained silent for a while. "... Fisher." He said, looking at the exit. "Gareth... This is the last obstacle here... Once we're through we can meet up with the Iron Musketeer... You can complete your task." He said, looking at the one goblin barring their path. "You ready?" He asked, handing Gareth a strip of meat jerky.

Gareth gently laid Alicia down and gave her a pinch of prism powder. "Let's get this started!" He quickly devoured the jerky and drew his sword with a laugh. "Piercing light! Dia!" A ray of light struck the goblin fisher and kicked off the battle.

Fenn drew his sword, but stepped back. He still wasn't in shape for active combat, and had no mana. The most he could do was defend the girl lying on the ground. ... Gareth... You're always too stubborn... But at least your brain isn't the only thing covered in muscle... What you said back there... You were never a good guy. Mira's death just made you worse. You have no admirable qualities, no merits. Just strength and a big ego. But Mira saw something in you. Something no one else did. When we met that night... I think she wanted to tell me what that was... But the attack cut it short, and she only passed the ring to me instead... And told me I would know what to do with it... He thought as he watched his rival face the goblin. I still don't know what to do... At the very least though... He's readable to a fault... And this girl... Alicia... She seems to bring out the best in him. Like you did... Now then... I wonder what will happen... He's going to chase me to the ends of the earth once this is over, that much I know. How ironic that he by choice, even if not knowing, was going to be my brother, now choosing that I am to face the end of his blade. It doesn't matter. All that matters is getting out alive. He took a dry swallow and watched the battle.

Gareth struck viciously at the goblin, letting out a guttural roar. "I've had enough of you! Fast Blade!" His sword came down, seeming to strike twice with one stroke, and the beastman's blood spewed from the wound. "You want revenge? Bring it!"

Alicia opened her eyes to hear the squishing... and the blades slice. 'Ugh...what now...?'

Fenn looked down. "We hit a snag." He said calmly. "But now we can get out of here." He started walking to the exit, Alicia in his arms. "You know... You're pretty heavy." He said to her. "I carried you most of the way here... And it wasn't incredibly fun."

"Sorry... Not like I asked... to be carried..." Alicia responded quietly.

Gareth wiped the blood from his sword and walked back to the two. "I'll carry her from here on out. Your arm must be tired." He held his hand out to Alicia with a neutral expression, though his eyes held a glint of sadness.

"I'm not... a rag doll..." Alicia said.

"Then walk." Fenn said calmly.

"... I really can't..." Admitted the girl as she glanced to side.

"Then just try to enjoy the ride."

'Can't really do that either...' She thought. 'I feel like I messed up badly...'

Gareth picked Alicia up gently, trying to to aggravate her injuries. "Let's go. We need to get back to Bastok pronto." He began walking as fast as he could without jarring the girl too much. He hoped they couldn't see the tears beginning to form in his eyes...

Alicia glanced up to see the man's tears and blinked. 'Why is he crying? I ... I don't understand any of this.'

"..." Fenn was silent for a moment. "Mira Alavastre." He said.

"Can't... anyone... tell me... who she... is?" Alicia yawned, very drowsy but at the same time just awoken.
