Shadow's Recovery

## Story

Shadow fell asleep as soon as they place him in his bed. Drenscal walked out of the room and sat down at a table to talk with Kryis. "Okay we have been over names but now we should talk more on what it is that your doing so that I know what I have gotten myself into by joining you two."

Kryis told Drenscal that she is a Summoner and the last of her bloodline because someone came to her village and destroyed it she is the only survivor of her village being destroyed. She is also moving forward to make sure she does not get caught as they are most likely going to make sure no one from her village lives.

She is traveling around the world collecting the summons and is working on becoming stronger but she needs not only the summons but allies willing to help her as she can't do it alone. Having told him that she then hoped that no one would turn her in to the people that did destroy her village.

Drenscal listened to her and then smiled "Well them I'm glad that I can help you with my strength.I just wish that i could talk with Shadow to know why he even stays here when he could just fly away. He is a half dragon after all. Well we should both go and get some rest for the night and then see how Shadow is doing in the morning."

Kryis agreed with what Drenscal said and went to her room to get some sleep. During her sleep she in a dream there was a woman telling her about a place summoners go to become even stronger but the time there is not like in the real world and that she will age a bit when she does finally leave from there. The woman told her that it will happen soon and your friends will have to search alone for her as she is there.

Kryis woke up and then stood outside on the balcony to her room in the inn and then realized her getting stronger will be the only way to keep her friends alive and if that means she must go there to become stronger she will she just hopes that it's not to soon.

She goes back to her bed and sleeps until sun up.

Shadow tossed and turned in his rest. He was trapped in his worst nightmare. He was forced to watch his father be cut to pieces while he and his mother were tied up. Then the men that had just killed his father turned to his mother and started to rape her. When they knew that had gotten her pregnant then stabbed her scaled belly with a poisoned lance and killed her. He fought against his bonds and couldn't get free and was soon stabbed with a sword through his chest. He jerked awake and then shook his head. He stood up and walked out of the inn to get some air.

Drenscal went to sleep wondering about everything that happened at the mountain and if he was prepared to journey with both Shadow and Kryis but since he is a light sleeper he heard a noise coming from the room Shadow was at and got up to see what it was he opened up Shadow's room door and noticed he was gone but instead of waking up Kryis he went to look for Shadow to talk to him and get answers to questions he wished to ask him he leaves the inn and finds him alone Drenscal approaches normally.

Shadow sighs and then draws his sword to look at it. His father had made one like it for him before sending him off into the world. His mother had taken a human as a mate and they love each other. He had been sad to leave but knew that they would be okay with out him for a while. That had been 10 years ago and now he didn't even know how to get back to find them. He put the sword away again and then sat down to look up at the sky for a while.

Drenscal approached Shadow and sat next to him and asked him all the questions he had wanted to ask him since meeting him.

Drenscal asked about his wings and why doesn't he just fly away and then asked him why are you helping Kryis she is not related to you so why help her. The last thing he asked was why do you even stay here.

Shadow turned to Drenscal and answered all three questions in one go. "The reason for all of that is where would I go. I can fly but that doesn't mean that I can go forever. I get tired and I don't even know what direction to go to get home. She needs help so I figured this will get me closer to something that I want to do later in life at least thats what I hope."

Drenscal looked over at Shadow and said then why should I help her I did agree to help her but still you are plenty strong on your own you can help her and protect her with ease.

Even when you two cross the mountain again over to the town I am from what make you think that the hardships will get any easier Kryis is a 14 year old girl that should have a normal life and not be worried about traveling and the dangers of the world the people on my town will try to keep here there with them if I must I will betray them because I can tell she is a gifted girl and that she will need all the help she can get but not even both of us can protect her if the people that destroyed her village come looking for her.

"If I were at my full strength I would have been able to take out that entire wall of monsters on my own. The problem is I have not been that strong for a full year because I was trapped in a flipping peaceful village. I want to train and get better again but I don't know if I will ever get that strong again. So yes we do need more people to help us if we ever want to keep her safe when those hunting her find her again." Shadow said sadly wishing that he was strong enough on his own to keep her safe.

Drenscal said to Shadow she is lucky to have you someone that will look out for her no matter what and I will be there right along side the two of you making sure she gets stronger as we all get stronger she just seems the distant type.

I guess I am just rambling on but she is a very sweet girl and no matter what she will always be a strong person in my eyes.

Shadow smiled and stood up. "Don't worry about anything with both of us I'm sure she will be fine until we can find more people to help us keep her safe. I know that you can handle yourself and I can take care of myself so lets just go back to the in and meet up with her and head out for the day."

Drenscal agrees with Shadow to head back to the inn when they get there they get there things ready and are waiting for Kryis to come down so they can head to the town Drenscal is from but she has not come down from her room and is still sleeping.

But in all honesty she was awake and listening to what the woman told her in her dream that eventually when ever she deems it worthy Kryis will leave and both Shadow and Drenscal must search for her or wait for her return. Trying to compose herself she heads downstairs and says she is ready to go.

Shadow smiles at her and then starts to walk with her. He can tell that she is thinking about something but he doesn't want to ask her about it so he just focuses on working on keeping her safe. He can see in the distance that there seems to be some creatures moving around.
