Mythran's Master Of All

The group gathered in the tent and Ren gave them a quick rundown of what they could do. Before spending any of their ability points, they'd have to choose a class. This didn't apply to Princess and Ruck, as she was a Mount and he was a Familiar; but Teepo for some reason, had access to the Scout class. Ren told him to pick it, as he already benefited from a lot of the Scout abilities anyways. Nathalia on the other hand, didn't know what she should choose. She wanted to give Ren as much help as she could, and asked him what he needed most.

“Oh, no... I'm not forcing you to do anything like that. It doesn't matter what I think I need.” Ren said and pat her hand. “What matters is what you think you will need.”

Nathalia thought about it. “I want to help protect my House. I've been on the sidelines for far too long, and I don't want to be a burden anymore.”

“Then, if my knowledge of dwarf culture is as good as you and Teepo have been teaching me...” Ren smiled. “Your choice is either a Fighter, where you can gain general fighting skills; or you can pick Warden, that gives you specific skills to be the last line of defence, to be used when the House gets attacked.”

“I think... I think I'd like to be a Warden.” Nathalia said.

“Then choose it.”

She did and her eyes widened.

She must be looking at the popups for her class. Ren thought and waited for her to finish. She dismissed the popups and smiled.

“I've got weapon fighting, shield use, armor proficiency, and a few other things.” Nathalia said and took Ren's hand in hers. “I've even got a Minor Healing ability!”

Ren squeezed her hand. “That's great!” He said. “I'd hoped you'd get something like that.”

“Why didn't you say so?”

“I told you... I didn't want to influence your choice. You're going to have that class for a long time.” Ren said and smiled. “I didn't want you stuck with something you didn't want, or that you only took for me because I might need it.”

“You need healing?” Nathalia said, surprised and checked Ren over quickly to look for any wounds.

“I'm not hurt.” Ren chuckled. “My Mana Pool just needs to be refilled.”

“I can do that for you?” She asked.

“Yes, and it'll help you level up that skill, too.”

Nathalia smiled and activated her Minor Healing ability. Since she was holding Ren's hand, it started to add to his Mana Pool right away. It was slow going, but while she did that, Ren helped Teepo assign stat points to benefit the skills that he would need. Ren found out Teepo had leveled up several times.

Nathalia's Mana ran out and she looked a little tired. Ren gave her a Mana potion and told her to sip it until her Mana bar was full.
