Crimson runs ahead and starts prancing around in some leaves, sneezing out embers once and a while.
"I'd say he's going to be growing up soon. Adult chimeras are usually pretty strong, and can breathe fire."

I nod "Yep. As long as he doesn't burn the place down."

It is soon 6 pm and everyone seems to be getting tired. Ash tightens his grip on your waist and buries his head into your neck. "I'mmmm tiiired." He mumbles.

I look around for somewhere we can stay the night

To your right there is an empty cave. To your left is the same forest from before.

I head towards the cave, dismounting and setting up the tent for Ash, lying down beside Rosetta and getting out the food "I'll go collect some firewood in a minute.."

"No!' Ash blurts out. "It is dangerous out there. I'll go get it. Just.. stay safe."

"No!' Ash blurts out. "It is dangerous out there. I'll go get it. Just.. stay safe."

"Come on, Ash. We can both go." I sigh, getting up "Don't be stupid, I don't even know your skills yet, how can i trust you to take care of yourself?"

"Just trust me. Please. I will be back in ten minutes with wood and some food."

I roll my eyes, petting Rosetta before picking up my sword "It's like you expect to meet someone you don't want me to see, didn't you say you were tired? If you did meet something, you should have backup at least."

"I'm fine now. The guardians may know me, but they don't know you. I don't want you getting hurt. I can deal with almost dying. Last I checked, some of the guardians hated me. Stay here." he growls.
