(Welp, here I was thinking the fight was gonna take place inside the cavern. Don’t I look foolish?)

“MAXON! LOOK OUT!”

Maxon heard Caelia scream shortly before the Hydra’s roar, and he turned just in time to see a wall of flame barreling towards him.

Upon seeing certain death upon him, he simply closed his eyes.

“Mom….Dad…..I’m coming….” He thought to himself; accepting that his time had come.

But rather than being engulfed by flames; Maxon felt himself get grabbed and lifted, before being buffeted by wind and foliage.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Caelia held him by his shoulders with her feet, as they flew low to the ground; so low that his sabatons occasionally scraped the dirt.

After the Wyvern put some distance between them and the Hydra, she set him down behind a tree, before landing next to him.

“That’s twice now, you big dummy!” She whispered harshly, thumping him on the helmet with a wing; before pulling him in for a tight hug. “Are you okay?” She asked, her voice now soft.

“Yeah, just….shaken.” He replied, still recovering from the near death experience.

She released him a moment later; after hearing the Hydra stomping about behind them.

Luckily, the tree they hid behind had a convenient hollow inside; where Maxon swiftly placed their belongings.

“Right, this will work.” He said, gesturing to the hollow. “Now hand me the potions.”

The Wyvern did so immediately, and Maxon went about rummaging through the bag; before pulling out two potions. He then handed one to Caelia.

“What’s this?” She asked, taking the vial.

“Fire Resistance.” He answered, nodding to it. “It should help, but I don’t know how much. So don’t get too brave now.” He stated, removing his helmet.

“Heh, same goes for you, brave knight.” She shot back mockingly, before uncorking the vial.

Maxon did the same, and the duo clinked their vials together in a mock-toast, before chugging them both with a single swig.

Discarding the now empty vial, Maxon then re-donned his helmet.

“Right, this fight will be a hell of allot easier if you fought in your primal form. Do you think you could transform here?” He asked.

“I don’t know. Let me see.” She said, before looking around for any areas open enough for her to transform.
