Adrian looked downward and spotted a slightly protruding rock that bore a cave entrance. It led into the meteorite and was their destination. “Rozi must be in the cave,” Adrian said as he pointed at the entrance.Marissa headed toward the cave, but in her haste, took a little tumble. Adrian managed to catch her and threw her straight into the cave."Ow…" Marissa groaned. She looked up at Marissa with some confusion. “What are you doing here?”“We’ve come to help, Rozi." Marissa embraced Rozi, who now had a head full of white hair. "We won’t let you be taken away from us."“We?” Rozi then spotted Adrian walking in and beamed. “You've aged too,” she remarked.Adrian strode forward and enveloped the two women in a bear hug. “Growing old is only a part of life. After all, we can't stay young forever. Don't worry, I'm sure we'll succeed."“You'll come with me?"Rozi could not believe her ears. Nobody should even want to look at her in her current state. Adrian smiled tenderly and

The man’s face turned pale. He looked at his ruined sword and felt humiliated. Upon gathering his wits, he stomped and said, "You'll pay for this!"With that solemn vow, he got onto his horse and rode away.Marissa was quite worried. That man would surely be back for revenge. She lamented over how they had made an enemy moments after entering the new world. "We should run,” she said."There’s nowhere for us to run to though,” Adrian answered. They knew nothing about Debonaire and knew they were doomed if they fell into someone's trap. Rozi agreed with Adrian, knowing that it did not matter where they were as long as he was by their side."I'm hungry. I’d love for something to eat,” Rozi said. Marissa, her senses heightened thanks to her powers, said, "There's a small town up ahead, and something there smells really good.” She was hungry too but had not dared to voice this.Adrian pondered silently. He realized they had a serious problem. They had no idea what sort of cur

A huge plate of dragon’s heart was served next, but Marissa thought it tasted foul and lost interest in it after a bite. Instead, she set her sights on a plate of roasted chicken that had just arrived at the table. "This is delicious!" She pulled off a drumstick and handed it to Adrian. "This one's for you. You're the strongest, so you need to recover your strength."Adrian graciously accepted her offer.Rozi tucked into the dragon’s heart so much that she unknowingly finished the entire plate. As she licked her fingers, she asked, "Do you have any more? That portion was too small."The owner shuddered in fear. He had laced the food with a heavy dose of drugs. After the trio was incapacitated, he would capture them and hand them over to the Ivory Clouds."We’re out of that!" he impatiently replied.The owner sat behind the counter and carefully observed Adrian. He could tell that Adrian was the strongest among the trio and that his problems would be resolved once Adrian was out c

Marissa panicked. The roc was clearly a powerful beast, while Marissa was just an ordinary eagle that greatly paled in comparison. "Adrian, I can't beat that bird. We should go, now," Marissa whispered, fearing the opponent might hear her and be further emboldened.Adrian was frustrated. The fight had just started, and Marissa was already showing weakness. This would only feed their opponent’s ego."Stop it," Adrian commanded Marissa in a low voice. "You don't have to be scared when I'm around.""Marissa." Rozi stood next to Adrian as she called on her sword. "Adrian's right. We have to be confident in ourselves.”The muscular man looked disdainfully at Adrian and snorted, "You're not going anywhere!"The roc, too, looked smug and it flapped its wings aggressively and dived straight at Adrian and Rozi. Swift as lightning, the roc's sharp beak nipped at them like a sharp sword. Adrian frowned slightly, annoyed at the man's audacity for wanting to kill them even though they mere

Adrian did not wish to stay any longer either. Greenhurst was too small a place for any renowned doctor to exist. They needed to find somewhere larger if they wished to cure Rozi. "Let's go,” he said.After leaving, the trio arrived at a fork with no road sign. Each path led to somewhere far in the distance."What the hell?" Marissa kicked a pebble by her feet and angrily said, "How are we supposed to choose which road to take?" Adrian remained silent. At the moment, they were clueless about Debonaire. Moreover, because of that run-in, they had lost track of that old man, Claude, who was talented in medical treatments."Are those lights over there? Let's go and take a look," Rozi suggested. They found that it was a house close to Greenhurst. Adrian was worried the occupants may not wish to take them in after the huge commotion in the town. Marissa was overjoyed they were able to find a place to rest, especially since the sky had turned dark. "Adrian, I think you should be ge
