It was the morning after Hugo and Altara raided the cave base belonging to Eternal Chrome. Altara had dropped off Hugo at the medical bay inside of the tower and lead Konstantine there as well just in case she needed any medication because of her time at Eternal Chrome.
Altara sighed, sitting on his bed inside his dorm. His oversized machete which he took from Kript leaning against the end of the bed. He soon looked at a small room in the dorm with a glass door, he stood up and walked into the room, it was a bathroom. He got unchanged and stood into the shower, which was inside its own glass cubicle in the room. He looked at his shoulder as he was washing, seeing the wound he gained from the fight with Kript. It had a scab over it now. He decided to ignore it and soon finished washing.
When Altara stood out the shower he wrapped a towel around his waist, walking to the mirror and looking at himself. Brief flashes of Kript's mutilated body appeared before him, he grunted at this and took a few heavy breaths, leaning on the sink just below of the mirror. He gulped and stood out of the bathroom, moving to his clothing drawers. He put on a simple pair of blue jeans and a red shirt, looking at his biker jacket which was on the end of his bed but decided to not put it on. He went to a desk which was next to the entrance of the bathroom. The rolled-up map he found in the cave base was there, he decided to open it up and looked at it.

"Oh, a map of the Mainland." He looked over it briefly, before taking out a pen that was on the desk. He drew an X where the Tower of Magik was.
"Heh." He put the pen back and looked over the map again.

"Never been to Wrathak and Diratopia." He mumbled to himself, leaning back in his chair. "Even forgot what races live in those lands..wasn't it the Wolven and Dire-Beings?"
His thoughts were interrupted as a knock came from his door, he cleared his throat and stood up, walking to the door and opening it. Jolene stood there, the healer giving Altara a slight nod.
"Hey kiddo, Hugo is all patched up and the girl you brought to us...it was pretty hard to get anything out of her. So we decided to let her go. She's still in the medical bay though with Hugo. That bandage you made was pretty well done too, so grats." She grinned.
"O-Oh, hey Jolene. Sure, I'll go down there now and see them."
He walked out, before stopping, slowly looking at Jolene. "Uh, I kinda forgot the way to the medbay."
Jolene chuckled and rolled her eyes with a grin, walking past Altara. "Follow me, kiddo." She walked past Altara, the two going into the elevator at the end of the corridor.
They soon made it to the medbay, Altara quickly walked in seeing Hugo sitting on a bed inside, Konstantine leaning on a wall on the other side of the medbay, looking at the floor.
Altara swiftly walked up to Hugo and grinned slightly. "So you're okay?" Hugo looked up at Altara, staring for a second before pulling him in for a hug.
"Alt, I'm fine. Thanks for patching me up in there." He said, smiling as he hugged Altara. Altara froze for a second before slowly hugging back. "It's...It's no problem." Hugo and Altara stopped hugging, Hugo looking over at Konstantine, then back at Altara. "So you found her deeper within the base?"
"Yeah, I did. She was locked up in a cage and I felt like if I didn't let her free the guilt will hang on my heart forever." Altara folded his arms, looking at Konstantine who was still looking at the floor.
"I see. Must have been a slave of some sort, poor girl." Hugo cleared his throat. "Konstantine was it?" He asked her.
Konstantine looked up. "Yes, that's my name." She kept against the wall, her crimson eyes locked onto Hugo.
"Hm, glad to see you safe. Altara here deserves all the credit concerning your current safety." Hugo grinned at her.
Konstantine looked at Altara. "I know."
She then looked back down at the floor.
Hugo looked at Altara, leaning in and whispering. "I think she likes youuuuu~" Altara looked at Hugo and frowned slightly, stepping away. "H-Hey!"
Hugo simply laughed out loud.
