"All Creator no! Stupid Stupid! By his great mercy I can still make this right. I invited over the Ancient Maiden, and I violated sacred hospitality nearly killing her Oh Creator. I... I can't stop shaking."
Looking over my shoulder I see her resting recuperating body. Luckily appears to now be healing. It was a good thing she snapped me back to my senses to dress her wounds.
"Dear, all Creator I pray for your blessings, and for great healing may your miracles light upon our ignorant souls and lead us to green pastures. Salah."
'earphones...badass...school...'
The young woman rests sleep talking as Khallif ruminates. Soon dawn passes, and his eyes have bags under then. and she awakes. Taking off the bandages and to Khallif's amazement. The wounds were healed as if they were never there.
"It it's a miracle! Thank the All Creator blessed is his name!"
Rolling her eyes 'Told you it was only a few grazes, by the way I still don't have a name yet'

'Mind doing the honors?'
"Levitica? or Amber hmm, what sounds better to you?"
'Levitica sounds...off Hmm, Alina? Alana?'
"Alina sounds good"
'Alright glad we can agree to a name.'
I blinked twice. As realization hit me that I had just named the most beautiful woman in my life. My face heated up as my emotions welled up.
'Hey Khallif we've got work to do! Last one to the Site is a rotten egg! [Emote for Smile]'
The two of us raced towards the Cryogenics chamber, the precious metal excavated would be sent to the capital for processing into more tools. 17 other members of the Zabbleens waved us in with jabs of last night's events. Calling me Lady Killer in jest as we get to digging under the floors of the deconstructed cryo chamber.
Using my crowbar we slowly pried open the flooring. Unfortunately nothing we had on hand could so much as scratch the walls of the room. in fact the entry into the room appeared as though the cryo room was blown ripped from the rest of the structure.
Regardless of the details we managed to find entry into a new world. An opening to Scraptown's Dungeon. From capital city's instruction we should allow this area to aerate as who knows what noxious fumes have been lingering within and for how many years.
Dragging the metal out to Shalla we all parted ways for the night, our payment 2 chits per person. Alina accompanying me every step of the way. My heart fluttering each time I gaze upon her pure beauty.
