My heart starts racing. I immediately hold a hand out to say stop. "Wait!" I quickly show my other hand, and on it is an engagement ring. "See this ring? I'm a taken man."

The wurm's excitement turns to shock. "O-oh, I'm sorry! I didn't notice your ring." She calms down. "Who's the lucky girl?"

"She's a Salamander," I quickly answer with a straight face. I lower my hands and take a deep breath. "Her name is Cirina. She's one hell of a warrior, and one hell of a lover. Honestly, I'd say I'm the lucky one. She's the perfect woman for me."

"Aww, that's so cute," she responds. "I hope you two have a happy life together."

I nod and give a sincere smile. "Thank you. Anyway, I must be off. I'm on a tight schedule today. I can't even waste a minute. Well, see ya!" Without another word, I bolt off, using Wind Magic to increase my speed. The wurm waves good-bye and leaves to find another man. Once I'm out of the woods and near the village, I come to a halt and stop using my magic. After wiping the sweat off my forehead, I look at the ring on my finger. "Damn," I think to myself, "I kinda feel like an ass for lying to her. Then again, escaping a wurm is damn near impossible." I put my hands into my pockets and hurry towards the village. One thing I wasn't lying about was my tight schedule.
