After he had awoken Akatosh found himself in a room. It was already nighttime, his headache, his muscle aches. It was all of sudden, Akatosh didn't know what happen, how he collapses, or who was to blame. He can only speculate that it was Chifya since she holds a grudge against him.

Turning around, ciphering his surroundings he saw Reith sited and sleeping silently. It was to be said that Reith had been there the whole time watching Akatosh.

The night was insomnia to him. He was sleepless than the man who's in deep slumber nursing him through his sleep. Placing the blanket at Reith, Akatosh instantly searches his bag.

"Where is it?" Akatosh sigh, after that he goes to have some midnight breeze.

For now, the sky was open. The starry night illuminates the dark sky turning the pitch back into beauty. The moon is different from his past world they were three moons that light the night. One was reddish the other was green, for the last well you can see that it was half to say and yellow it shows.

Just a moment of astral silence Akatosh heard a rustle, the sound came from the back of the house. After following the sound, he slowly pushes the door and lightly opening to take a glimpse of the outside.

Unnoticed, he saw Sheila somewhat doing her magical stuff. He can see her struggling to control her magic. He can see her in agony, the tears of pain from overtraining her magic.

Akatosh shrug and went to call her. "Shouldn't you be awake at this hour?"

To her surprise, Sheila immediately turns around hiding her blue face. Though, Akatosh notice her burned hand before Sheila could hide it.

She smiles. "Ah… This is nothing, you should be asleep." Sheila says trembling.

"I can't sleep, nor I can't rest. So what brings you to this place."

Her head bends avoiding Akatosh's face. He can tell she's holding the sore pain she's been hiding the whole time. Without hesitation, Akatosh treads towards her, she setback but he was already in front of her.

"You know doing that kind of thing is dangerous you know," Akatosh said to her in a calm tone.

"I know that… it's just that--" Sheila said in a stressful voice.

"Everyone wants to be strong… strong enough to protect what they hold dear." Akatosh interrupts.

"It's nothing about--"

Disrupting her, before she could utter another word. "But do you think that this is the only way to protect them? Do you think that this is the only path to becoming strong? Think about it, it wasn't just you, Reith, Sei, Riya they all want to be strong enough to shield their friends. If ya all continue this kind of thing, then this isn't the kind of companions that you all hold."

Stolen story; please report.

"My bad… I think this would suffice her." Akatosh thought.

"I'm sorry, for saying too much--"

"No. You're right, I am a really weak person. No… all this time I've been doing it all for myself, that's why—"

"Ah, shiii… here we go again." keeping his word to himself.

"That's why? Are you done… you're not weak. No… you're just stupid." Akatosh says. "Even a peasant would slay a gnoll, a goblin, a kobold if he or she would know how to use her brain and fear. That's why instead of doing this for yourself, keep it to yourself. You all should be open to each other. Even an ant would desolate a large enemy if they are together. Work together as a real companion, as a real friend in need."

"I-I--" Sheila couldn't speak a word to say. "He was right, he was right, from the start he was keen on his word."

Cutting her. "Let me see your hand." Akatosh implore.

Showing her burned hands, slowly Akatosh holds her arms looking and inspecting. The burns were different as blue rashes deteriorate her skin. "Is there any way to heal this injury?"

"It's a magic burn, I'll heal it later."

"Is Chifya still here?"

"Um… yes, she's sleeping right next to your room."

"I see… stay here I'll be back, or maybe--" Grabbing Sheila's arm, Akatosh drags her to the house looking for Chifya.

When Akatosh saw Chifya silently sleeping like a cat, he was already thinking of revenge on her. He wants to give her something she could remember. But this is not the time.

"Oi! wake up will ya." Akatosh implores, shaking Chifya left and right.

Her eyes slowly open, to see Akatosh's face staring at her. "What… what do you want?!"

"What else, got a job for you."

Akatosh doesn't know how to heal Sheila's injuries but maybe Chifya can. Also to give her some lesson regarding unity or what they say.

Ponting at Sheila. "Will you give her your healing thing." Akatosh implies, still holding Sheila's arm avoiding her burned hand.

Upon Chifya saw Sheila's injured hand, she quickly grabs her wrist. "Burned magic… Have you been doing this all the time?" Chifya says somewhat blue.

"This is just a little, so I'll soon heal this with--"

Before Sheila could finish her sentence Akatosh pinch her arm. "You know; this is why you are in this level. Afraid to show your burden to your friends."

She finally yields and lets Chifya heal her hand. With that said Akatosh ask Chifya if she had that potion she recently used.

"Hey… I mean Chifya, got that potion you just used it against me."

"What!" Chifya exclaimed.

"I know you're the one, don't take me for a fool," Akatosh says, looking at her with a cold dark face.

"FINE! Here you go just don't over doze yourself."

Before she could give him the potion, Chifya suddenly takes it back. Searching for something a small empty bottle, she then pores a little of the potions vile.

"Here… this should suffice," Chifya says, giving him the small vile.

"Mm-hmm… thank you," Akatosh says like an old man slowly walks out from the room, gripping the bottle.

As he walks towards where he once lasts sleep. Reith was there already booking the bed.

As badly as Akatosh want to sleep the bed was too small for two people.

"Where can I sleep," Akatosh says I think about where Chifya was.

Akatosh was new to this house, to this people. So rather not just barge into one of their rooms Akatosh choose Chifya's room instead.

Returning to where Chifya and Sheila were. Akatosh barge through ignoring their presence. Two of them are somewhere sited at the corner where Chifya is busy treating Sheila's injuries.

"What are you doing?" Chifya says staring at Akatosh.

"Going to sleep."

"HEY!"

Ignoring her, Akatosh comfy himself on Chifya's bed.

"HEY! That's my bed--"

"I don't see any name written on this bed. And don't you dare do something or I won't help you with that thing of yours. Oh, and go find your bed with your name written on it."

"Sleep here I come," Akatosh says, drinking the potion.

Eyes slowly closed, mind shut down and all was no more…
