"Leader?" Remarked Alexander in confusion as he looked at Simba and Marlin.
"Master?" Muttered Marlin, in doubt while observing Alexander.
'Wait a second, Simba, Marlin, Lily; those are the names in Master's party!' Thought Alexander with widened eyes as he glanced at the three.
Now that I thought about it, not only did they have the same name, but their class was also the same; there was no way this was a coincidence, and if it were, that would be insane. Looking at Marlin and Simba, noticing their will to fight diminishing, I backed away while deactivating my [Lightning Cloak] as we stood there calmly observing each other. However, that didn't last for long since I remembered Master's condition, causing me to ignore them as I sprinted towards her.
"Master, are you okay!?" Exclaimed Alexander in worry as he recalled his two greatswords into his body and dashed toward Lavender, causing Simba and Marlin to do the same.
"Yeah, Leader, are you okay?" Asked Simba with eyes of concern as he rapidly appeared before Lavender and Lily, followed by Marlin and then Alexander.
"I-I'm f-fine, j-just an o-old wound acting u-" Replied Lavender with a pale face, though she started violently coughing, causing her to spit out some blood.
"Dammit, Lavy, don't lie to us; we're trying to help!" Stated Lily angrily as she once again started to heal Lavender; well, that was until she was suddenly taken into Alexander's arms.
"Hey, where are you taking Lavy, Alexander!? I need to heal her!" Exclaimed Lily as she, Simba, and Marlin followed Alexander, though none of them stopped him.
"I'm taking Master to her room!" Yelled Alexander as he dashed to the front of the tree house and jumped from branch to branch, quickly climbing the tree until he arrived at the front door.
Busting right through the door, I ran through the entire house and entered Master's room, only to immediately turn around and exit as her room was still filthy from last night's lovemaking session. Closing the door behind me, I squeezed my way through the three who were following closely behind me and ran towards my room, which thankfully didn't smell of sex, as I gently set Master down on my bed.
"I'll be right back!" Said Alexander as he once again ran out of the room, confusing the three, though they were more concerned with Lavender's condition, so they didn't question it.
Running through the house once more, I entered Master's office and rummaged through her shelves, and unfortunately, while I didn't find what I was looking for, I found a beaker, which was all I really needed. Sprinting back to my room, using the walls as my breaks as I slammed into them, I busted into my room and ran to my bed, kneeling beside Lily, who was attempting to heal Master.
"An empty beaker? How's that useful?" Questioned Lily with a frown as she glanced at Alexander, her confusion only deepening when she saw him summon his weapon from his body.
"It's not what I was intentionally looking for, but it'll work." Replied Alexander as he set the beaker on the bed and placed his hand right over it before slicing his wrist with Trina, causing his viscous golden blood to spill into the beaker.
"That smells good." Muttered Simba with a slightly hungry gaze as he looked at the beaker, filling up with Alexander's golden blood.
"Golden blood; does he have a unique bloodline?" Whispered Marlin with a slight frown as he intently observed the beaker, wanting to inspect it with his skill, though he held back his desire, unlike a certain Dryad.
"What the? Don't tell me you're going to make Lavy consume that?" Asked Lily with uncertainty as she gazed at Alexander, who nodded his head in response.
"It's the best healing potion we've got access to. Master, open your mouth." Said Alexander, glancing at Lily before absorbing Trina back into his body as he grabbed the beaker and hovered it over Lavender's mouth, waiting for her to open it.
"D-Don't tell me w-what I think t-that is, Alexander?" Asked Lavender as she tilted her head toward Alexander and gazed upon him through her blurry vision, though when she saw him nod, she sighed before eventually listening to his words.
Once Master opened her mouth, I grabbed her chin with one hand and used my other hand to steadily tilt the beaker, pouring my blood into her mouth, and almost instantly, I was able to notice the changes taking place. Her face was regaining its previous vibrant color, her coughing and wheezing significantly diminished, her breathing returned to normal, and she no longer seemed to be in pain.
"Eh, it actually worked?" Muttered Lily in surprise when she saw Lavender's condition instantly improve, though she still continued healing her.
"Master, do you feel better?" Asked Alexander as he set the beaker down and leaned in closer, though all he heard was her soft, rhythmic breathing.
"She's sleeping, let's not disturb her." Commented Marlin quietly as he glanced at Lavender, his eyes softening considerably before turning around and exiting the room while dragging Simba with him.
"Aw, but I want to stay with Leader." Remarked Simba in a downcast expression, though all that earned him was a smack to the head by Marlin.
"Shut up. Didn't I say Lavender was sleeping?" Said Marlin angrily as his and Simba's voices got quieter the further they went.
Seeing that Master was sleeping, I sighed and backed away, but I continued to stay kneeling beside her, and just as I was about to inspect Master's status panel with my eyes for the first time, I felt someone tap my shoulder, causing me to halt my actions and look up at Lily.
"We should leave Lavy alone; after what's happened, she's mentally exhausted and needs some time to recuperate and get back to full health." Said Lily softly as she looked at the sleeping Lavender before quietly leaving the room, prompting Alexander to nod and do the same.
"Haa, you're right." Muttered Alexander with a sigh as he lovingly looked at Lavender before standing up and following Lily, only for her to stop him once he reached the door.
"Before you do that, put on some clothes first, will you? You've been naked ever since that suicidal explosion, and while you've got an incredible body that I would love to taste, it's not very appropriate to walk around naked." Said Lily with a slight smirk as she stopped Alexander with her hand and pointed towards his groin.
Just as Lily said, when I looked down, my clothes were gone, and I was completely naked, my manhood bare for all to see.
"T-Thanks for telling me." Replied Alexander with a deep blush of embarrassment as he closed the door, though even so, he still heard Lily's chuckling.

Exiting my room, wearing clothes this time, I closed the door behind me and headed towards where I heard talking, which so happened to be the kitchen.
"Ah, there he is! We were just talking about you, Leader's disciple!" Said Simba with a giant smile, displaying his sharp teeth and several fangs, while Alexander wryly smiled in response.
"Tch, is that all you've got to say, Simba? Don't you, I don't know, have something to apologize for?" Questioned Lily with a frown as she glared at Simba while healing his wound; Marlin stayed silent.
"Sorry for attacking you; I just saw Leader hurt, and you were running towards her with large swords, so I thought you were the culprit. Sorry." Stated Simba with an awkward smile while rubbing his head, a slightly comical sight given his intimidating appearance, especially with the large gaping wound.
"Eh, well, it's understandable; I might've done the same thing If I was in your shoes." Replied Alexander forced a smile while thinking back to the attack, which had left him paralyzed for some time.
"Anyways, here you go, Simba. I'm sure that wound hurts; this should help heal it." Added Alexander as he reached into his pouch and grabbed the beaker, which was filled with his blood, before handing it to Simba, who quickly drank it.
"Ahh, that was delicious! Can I have some more?" Asked Simba with eager eyes as he downed the entire beaker in one gulp while completely ignoring the fact that his large wound was visibly healing.
"No, that's his blood." Said Marlin as he snatched the beaker out of Simba's hand and handed it to Alexander.
"Though speaking of that, Alexander, you shouldn't just expose the healing properties of your blood like that; I don't know exactly how powerful it is, but that doesn't really matter. If people discover your blood's abilities, you'll be hunted down and used as a blood bank." Stated Lily seriously while inspecting Simba's wound, which had fully healed; if it weren't for the blood, no one would suspect a thing.
"I know; Master had already informed me about that several times; she would constantly say that if anyone found out that Mythical blood flowed through my veins, I'd be hunted by every faction in existence." Said Alexander calmly with a nod as he walked toward the sink to rinse out the beaker, not even realizing how much of a shock his words caused within the three.
"D-did you just say Mythical blood?" Asked Marlin with widened eyes as he, Simba, and Lily turned and eyed Alexander in disbelief.
"Yeah, but it's actually not blood; it's called [Heroes Ichor], but they are pretty much the same thing, in my opinion." Replied Alexander with a nod as he corrected himself, only to turn around and find the three looking at him in pure astonishment.
