Cyan's eyes slowly opened, he was disoriented, not knowing where he was. He could smell a familiar scent next to him, feminine, one that he knew intimately. An even more familiar scent was also present, rather four of them. He immediately identified them as the members of his pack. Their scents were further away though, and they were moving.
He turned his head, Beka's bare body could be seen not far away, washing in some kind of fountain. Her armor laid next to her. He smiled at the sight, the sharp contrast of her furry black wings on her smooth peach colored skin was erotic, but the image soon faded from his mind as he looked around at his surroundings.
They were still in the crypts by the look of it, the familiar stone walls and ceiling surrounded them. Three of the walls were solid stone, while the fourth had an archway, he could sense his pack was out that direction. Seeing that he was relatively safe he looked at the notifications that were in front of him.

Cyan looked at his new skill with wonder. He could feel that his body was in much better condition than when he had passed out, though it was no where near perfect condition. With a grimace he began to sit up, letting out a soft groan as he did so. The groan alerted Beka that he was awake, and she rapidly turned around to see him.
she quickly ran up to him, oblivious to her bodies current state she wrapped herself around him, tears beginning to well up in her eyes. "You're alive! I thought you weren't going to make it. that acid was so bad, it began to burn through your flesh as a horrible rate. but we could do nothing. I tried to rub it off using my cloak, but it just dissolved it. I'm so sorry Cyan! The cloak you gave me is gone!"
Cyan chuckled, drawing her into his embrace. "I'm ok Beka, I still hurt, a lot, but I will live."
Beka nodded as she slowly drew away, looking him up and down. His wounds had begun to scab, Blood was no longer pouring out of them. Half of his face was covered in scabs. she gently rubbed her hand over it, feeling the rough texture against her skin. "These are going to scar. you won't be quite as handsome any more I'm afraid."
Cyan laughed "Its not like I was a picture of beauty anyways. Besides I heard chicks dig scars."
Beka giggled in response "Well I sure do anyway" she looked down, finally realizing her state and a light blush appeared on her face. "And just how long were you planning on admiring the view for?"
"As long as I possibly could" he once again pulled her close, he was careful as to not reopen his wounds and just held her. A sense of contentment filled his heart. Behind them the sock approached, they had long since sensed that their king was awake. but had heard the conversation and decided to stay back. Now that it was over they had no problem interrupting their intimate moment. After all, to them intimacy was not something to be hid, and happened publicly all the time.
Chica was the first to speak "The area around us has been cleared of the undead. The pack has managed to level up, we are now level 2. We have evolution points to spend, but I somehow feel it would be better if we saved them."
Cyan thought for a moment before responding. "I think saving them would be the best option. You should receive a random evolution at level 10, something that is not available normally. If we think of this world as a game, that would be like a class ability. It is probably best to not spend your points until then. This would ensure the most potential you could get from them."
Chica slowly nodded. "I think that this is the best option too, but I feel like things won't work out how you have them planned. I do not know why, but we will definitely not regret this path. "
Cyan nodded, moving on to the next topic. "What happened after I passed out?"
Beka was the one to respond. "Chica and I discussed what to do, we had Pugsly and Daisy drag your body and we attempted to to back to the entrance. When we arrived there we found that the entrance was being guarded by a group of 15 skeletons, 13 of them were archers and the other two mages. Needless to say we retreated, that was a battle we could not win."
"the only option we had left was to explore further in, we encountered a few small groups of archers, but I took care of them. Eventually we found this room, It has a fountain filled with water. Chica assured me that it was good to drink, it actually contains magic particles that will sustain your body. It acts as both food and water. I'm thinking it is a resource that the dungeon provides for adventurers."
"Once we arrived here we set up camp. We could see that you were slowly healing and felt like this was our best bet. You have been unconcious for a day, which is amazing, because that acid should have killed you."
Cyan nodded after hearing the recounting of events. He was definitely not in any state to battle, by his guesses it would still take a week until he had fully recovered. Thankfully they had all they needed here to survive.
Cyan eventually spoke. "Did you by chance bring my bow? If we are going to be here for a while I might as well get some practice in."
Beka nodded, pointing to a corner where his bow, several quivers of arrows lay. Beka had also collected a corpse for him to set up a target. "We figured you would want to practice while you heal."
