I sit up my side still in a bit of pain but its slowly numbing, I stretch and yawn before shifting back into my human form. "Probably gonna scar but I dont care... As long as he had a comfy pillow and rested I am happy..." I mumbled to myself and said criss cross.

"ok," she said about to hand him her bottle.

Latan is sitting a few feet away, wincing and holding his head. Flames are licking across his skin, burning the dead grass.

Now that Sibnele is gone, the atmosphere feels lighter. Luca can hear the others moving and talking faintly over the hill from here.

Sibnele fades back into existence inside his hidden study. He sits at his desk and takes a swig of the bottle. Putting his head down, he falls asleep quickly.

My gaze move towards him worry clear in my crimson eyes "Latan... You alright...?"

He just silently shakes his head.

Latan. What has happened? Raglan asks firmly.

Latan doesn't reply.

I shift into a small dragon a terrible terror as most would call it, and slowly crawled towards him 'Latan... Talk to us are you alright...?' I ask looking slightly concerned.

Now that you're closer, you can see that Latan is trembling slightly. His eyes are still glazed with pain, but now they are mixed with fear.

'Latan...?' I say my eyes trained on him in worry, 'come on man... Whats wrong...' I ask, as I sit a few feet away.

Latan looks at you, and his eyes widen. He shakes his head and tries to smile. "N-nothing happened, kiddo. I'm fine."

I make a sneeze like noise and growl 'ya... Okay... Is that why you heated up to what felt like a million degrees...? It didnt hurt or anythin but come on man... Somethin must have happened... I mean I understand if you want it to be left alone... And I am not a kiddo!' I growl and huff.
