When adventuring with Zylene, we had a lot of fun exploring a cave system in the Aslan valley, while not doing Titles. And at same time too.
We both had received a task to collect a lot of Essence and this cave is the only place where it grows. So that's where we headed. Two younglings, together to an unknown cave. Way out of our league, to be honest.
We started the exploring keenly. Soon it turned out there were crystal monsters around. A lot. Full of hatred.
- I'm scared, she whispered.
- Um.. should we turn back then?
- I said scared, not afraid. But you can do what you will.
I will be your Guardian angel. Take this soulbond.
- Soulbond is useless, I told her. But the die was cast, so no sense to cry.
After a while there was a lot of blood around. Let me tell you something: crystals don't bleed. They just shatter to pieces with a kiss from the axe.
Neither does Zylene. Oh, she does has blood, really good one.
Hot blood.
But, believe me, she does not bleed with me.
So it was all mine.
My red blood, flooding the bedrock floor.
Bad thing, very bad, but so usual situation for me.
Really bad, if it were not for Zylene.
To make a long story short, we cleared all the crystals in the caves. It was a sweaty task, even without doing Titles.
She had to use use all her repertuare to keep me alive.
Boy was she good. Really good. She had eyes only for me. And those hands, she used them so well.
For I tried... I really did.
All but one.
- Soulbond is useless, I told her.
Little did I know. I was wrong. Dead wrong.
