A New Enemy (Part 2)

"Hey Lith, mind giving me a hand before we go get our dinner?" Friya asked.

"No problem. What's the matter?" Lith stood up, feeling a little light headed.

"Are you alright? You are way paler than when we met earlier." Friya cast her best diagnostic spell on him before he could even open his mouth.

"Just tired from almost dying. No biggie." He shrugged.

Friya was happy when her spell confirmed that he was perfectly fine, just a bit famished. Yet the dying part made her flinch.

"Forget about my problem. What the heck is going on here? How did you put yourself in trouble so fast?"

"Off the record? Because it's Ranger business, so I need you to keep it a secret." Lith replied.

'If I have to ask for her help, I need to tell her everything. Otherwise I could endanger her life for nothing.' He thought.

"Sure. I'm your friend before being an adventurer." She said while forcing him to sit on his bed and giving him some beef jerky.
