"Ah, so you guys came to this area in order to level up your guild?" Dana asked.
"Em...yes." I said with a one meter distance between him and me.
"Ah, that's nice." Dana smiled.
"Don't you have a guild? I mean how were you able to survive if you weren't in any?" Yazoyo asked.
"Oh, I was part of a guild, but then they kicked me out and emptied me clean." Dana laughed hysterically.
"Oh, that's sad." Sakura sympathized with him.
"Would you like to join our guild then?" Yumi asked.
I didn't want this kiss stealer to be part of our guild. Before I could say anything, Dana answered. "Nah. It's alright. I think I'm good without a guild. I mean, I don't have any will to live through these guild battles."
No will to live? Why?
"But I mean, I can help you guys through the caves. I hear that you can gain special guild skills (These are skills that combines the guilds member's skills together to create a high skill attack. Some vary depending on classes. Sometimes you can find special skills in caves.) there." Dana continued.
"Are you sure? You'll really help us?" Sakura asked eagerly.
Dana smiled and nodded. "Yep."
"Alright then. Lead the way, Dana." Yumi replied.
"Sure. Right this way." Dana started walking.
Something is up with this guy.

After walking for a distance, we finally made it to the cave. "Alright. We now have to split up." Dana explained.
"Huh? Why?" Yazoyo exclaimed.
"Because we will find it faster. However, there are some high leveled enemies here. We may have to pair 3 together. What is your level girl with brown hair." Dana pointed to Sakura.
"I'm a level 40 chef." Sakura his her face in embarrassment.
"How about you?" Dana pointed to Yazoyo.
"I'm a 42 assassin." Yazoyo said with pride.
"I see." Dana nodded his head. "I'm suspecting that you two are the strongest." Dana looked at Yumi and me.
"I'm a 43 archer."
"I'm 41 mage."
"Alright then. Brown haired girl and guy, you guys are with me. Pretty girl and archer, you two are together." Dana decided.
I was relieved he didn't put me with himself. "Okay."
We then split off and headed deeper into the caves.
"Do you think we can trust that guy?" Yumi questioned.
"If you didn't trust him, then you should have spoken up earlier." I stated.
"Ah, that's true. I'm just worried about Yazoyo and Sakura." Yumi scratched her head.
I looked her way and saw how pale she looked. This wasn't the paleness from being sick. "Are you feeling alright, Yumi?"
"Yeah. Just nausea." Yumi covered her mouth.
"Could it be morning sickness?"
"Possibly."
Suddenly, a beam that looked like ice shot between Yumi and me. "What was that?" I asked and then turned around.
The was this polar bear looking thing behind us. "Oh."
"Phoenix strike!" Yumi pulled out her bow and arrow.
It shot the bear in the arm and we were able to run away.
"That was scary!" Yumi said as we ran across the ice bridge.
"Yeah." I agreed.
Right as we were able to make it across the bridge, an icicle fell near Yumi, and broke off the part she was standing on. Yumi slipped and fell off the bridge. Thankfully, she was able to hold onto part of the bridge that was still intact.
"Yumi! Are you alright?" I ran to her.
Though she had a hold on the bridge, due to the bridge being made out of ice, she started slipping. "Ah!" Yumi screamed as she slipped.
"Yumi!"
