As Myrr ran up, Shive lay on the ground unconscious, occasionally twitching. His breathing was almost nonexistant, almost as if he were in a coma. A piece of Hollow mask was attached to his jawline, but eventually evaporated.
I may be gone for now, but it won't be the last you see of me... count on it. A voice boomed through Myrr's mind.
As soon as the voice vanished, Shive stirred in his 'sleep'. His eyes slowly opened, and he grogily glanced around. He spotted Myrr, and asked,
"Myrr... are you okay?"
He then clutched his head, gritting his teeth in agony.

"Well that was strange," Saelia called out from the water. "Does this mean you don't want to come swimming?" She added as she playfully kicked some water in the air.

"I'm fine Shive, I'm more worried about you." Myrr replied as she reappeared yet again from the forest and then glared at Saelia, roaring, "HOW THE F*** CAN YOU BE SO CALM AND PLAYFUL AFTER THAT!? WHAT IF IT WAS YOU THE HOLLOW FIRED HIS SPELL AT!?"

Shive winced when Myrr yelled; his headache hurt like hell.
"Ah... no-need-to... worry... I'm... I'm fine." He stated woozily.
He staggered to his feet, attempting to steady himself. He felt extremely weak after that ordeal, and sadly, fell flat on his face shortly after gaining balance.
"Ack... that asshole Hollow took more out of me than I thought..." He muttered to himself.
"Sorry Saelia, I can't quite seem to get up at the moment. I'm not a very good swimmer anywhoo." He shouted at the Draeger.
He tried to rise, but fell back down, coughing.
"Ah s***. Little help here? Anyone?"

Myrr immediately answered when Shive asked for assisstance, hoisting him up to his feet with only a mild grunt of effort.
"You may weigh a lot when it comes to that armor and muscle, but you don't come close to weighing a ton. Feel free to lean on me for support." Myrr said, hoping Shive wouldn't be stubborn and try to walk on his own after that.

Shive's face started to turn red extremely quickly and he pulled away, stating,
"Oh no, I'm fine. I can walk on my own."
Shive took three steps, and he was down.
".......see? Totally fine."
He started to drag himself over to his armor and Ragnarok. He pulled himself up using the blade, and leaned on it while he attempted put his armor on.
"damn. A glove of storing would make this s*** so much easier." He grumbled lowly.
He abruptly stopped, staring at the ground. He began to think about what the Hollow had said... about him being a danger to those around him...
I... I need to get away from them... I need to seclude myself from everyone. He thought.
He glanced over at Myrr, then sighed.
"You can go now. I'm fine."

"Please, stop trying to run away, stop trying to hide yourself, Shive." Myrr responded, not moving a single step away. "I don't care how dangerous it may get, I won't abandon my friends." The half dragon meant what she said, she hated abandoning her friends, no matter what the situation.
"By the way, I can fight against the Hollow if that's what your so worried about. Please, don't make me leave..."

Shive looked away, recalling certain memories.
"You may think you can fight the Hollow, but you'd get slaughtered. Last time he came out, he was only in control for about five minutes. If he gets more than ten, he's nigh-unstoppable."
Shive's fist clenched as he continued,
"And the angrier I get, the more chance he has of taking over. I may seem like I'm in control, but it's hard for me at times."
He looked up, eyes cold, yet with a hint of remorse.
"I'm sorry, Myrr..."
He then spread his wings (barely) and attempted to take to the air. luckily, there were thermals about now, and he didn't need to use much energy as he took to the sky, glancing back at the lake one last time.
"But the only way to protect the ones I care about is to stay away from them."

Ignoring the lady-dragon's earlier remark toward her, Saelia once tried a good-natured invitation.
"Well, if no one wants to go swimming, how about lunch?" She said walking out of the water. "I can make something back at where we're staying, and you're welcome to come...Myrr, was it?"
Seeing Myrr's look of shock, and maybe a little disgust, she added: "Sorry, I know my clothes are a bit much...or little right now, and I'd normally cover up," She said, acting like it was the fact that all but her undergarments were see-through from the water at the moment, "but since it's just us girls, I didn't think it mattered. So will you come to lunch, or what?"

"I'll pass, Saelia." Myrr replied dryly, before she, too flew off, a bit disoriented that her wings were still tattered somewhat.
