Oli swiftly picked up Xia and placed him on the bed. His pulse was slow but his breathing was very week. Xia's body was flaming hot, hot enough to scotch his skin. "Did he want to starve himself to death?" He rushed to the door and threw it open. "Healer, call a healer here!!! Now!!!" he shouted loudly. One of the crews rushed to his command. In just minute, an old man in white walked inside, panting. Oli dragged him to the bed and gestured for him to check. The man wiped his sweat. "Ho—ly beast....let me take a breather," he panted. "We don't have time. Check him now," he shouted out loud. "His skin is clammy and hot to touch and his pulse is very slow," The old man shuddered and bowed. He sat down near the edge of the bed ad wiped Xia's clammy forehead with a towel. "He's burning up. We need to bring it down. Bring me a bowl of wine and a clean towel," he urged the crew man wait

 The six followed after the nimble spider. It darted through many small crevices and small hole, but still they were able to easily follow along. It rushed past the streets and entered the docks. Only a huge ship was docked right in front of the planks. "Xia...he must be in there," Aotian cheerfully rushed over. But the spider stepped shyly away from the boat. It moved side by side and tried to jump on it. With his sword, Aotian gently lifted it and placed it on the boat sides. It crawled up and into it. They all followed it in. But the spider did not go down the deck, rather it ran across and climbed on the other side of the wooden boat. It anxiously moved side to side anxiously glancing at the open ocean. Long Ki stepped forward and held onto his brother's shoulders. "Xiao Tian, it looks like your lover was taken away through sea," Aotian growled at him and swiftly

 Yukiya sighed. It had already been twenty-four hours since they had left them. Night had come and gone, and she was still stuck inside the shield. She tapped on it and sighed. "This is so annoying. So you know? I used to set up a shield just like this for my son whenever I leave town. I thought it would keep him safe but.....now that I'm experiencing it. It feels like a prison." "No one will have such a fancy prison life," the ghoul softly said, gesturing to the half bit peach in her hand. Yukiya scoffed and took another bite out of the juicy fruit, "how is this fancy? It's a necessity. I'm the mother of his child, of course he has to provide for me. That bastard, just talking about him brings a bad taste in my mouth" she tossed the peach pit and stomped on it. The Little egg pitifully nudging her leg again and again without any rest. The red core of the egg silently watched the remaining peach in her hand. "This..You can't eat

 Bright light.....that was Xia's initial thought as he woke up. He slowly blinked open his tired eyes. Unfamiliar ceiling was what he first noticed. "A different inn?" he softly mumbled as he sat up, supporting his weight. The window next to him was side open, letting in bright sunlight. "When did I lose consciousness though?" After he dropped off Felia and Farah he swiftly jumped over roof and got to the spot. From his vantage point, all he could see was dust and flames. Xia frowned. He was not able to see Long Aotian anywhere. He was about to jump down when all of a sudden he lost consciousness. Xia scratched his head, trying to remember more. "Why did I faint like that? Was I drugged?" he sniffed her small red clothes but there was a residual scent on him, only that strong perfume was left behind. "Then, maybe our inn was destroyed in the struggle," he whispered. He slowly woke up, changed his clothes and walked out of the do

 "This can't be. Ki can't be dead!" Yukiya shook her head in disbelief. The little red egg that was rolling around in the corner jumped over to her and nudged her. "no...something is wrong…. I have to see for myself," she mumbled and shot out of the watering hole. For a second she couldn't breathe. She panted, lying on the ground. The little red egg nudged her hands worriedly. 'I have to breathe…I have to change,' she thought as she pulled herself up by her forearm. Her gills were not adaptable to breathe out of water and was suffocating her. She gasped as he crawled through the floor. The red egg worriedly followed behind her. Yukiya held the egg close safely in her embrace, "its….it's okay....I'm..fine," she gasped as her breath came out in pants. Slowly her gills fully closed up, letting a layer of flesh grow on it. Losing her gills, she was f
