Chapter 86: Fighting The Abomination
"Dude, wake up," Rael said sternly. "You're drooling on my seats."
Seryn shot awake immediately. "My apologies. I was dreaming about my fiancée."
"I'm sure you were, but could you do me one favor?" Rael asked.
"As long as it is within my limits," Seryn replied.
"Alright then, can you stop talking so formally with me? The first couple of times were funny and all, but now it's getting a bit repetitive," Rael complained. "I get that you might've been raised in some noble family, but you're just too stiff to talk to."
"I see..." Seryn muttered. "I can try toning it down a notch then. Before joining the Blue Dragon sect, I was actually a beggar."
Noticing the change in tone, Rael let out a sigh. "Good to know. Also, I think it's about time I tell you what we're doing here."
Seryn nodded. "I'm listening."
"I'm going to awaken the beast, so I need you to stay deathly silent," Rael explained flatly. "There are certain things I must do in order to get back to my lovely wife, and one of them is to light all the bonfires."
"Come back... can I go back too then?" Seryn muttered, meeting Rael's eyes. "Are you sure this'll work?"
Rael shrugged. "I can go back that way. I'm not sure about you, though. I guess we'll find out after lighting all 10 of the bonfires."
Before Seryn could say another word, Rael stepped out.
