Chapter 11 - In The Dark of Night – Part 8

With the moon fully overhead, we both slid down the cliff side before I stopped both of us before making a risky play to sneak into the town.

I speak out quietly, "Hey Tik, instead of us sneaking in, why don't you just bring us in? I know you can teleport me as you did back at the capital."

After a long pause, Tik answered, "Tik Tik Tik, Humans will turn to bone. It only worked thanks to regeneration."

"But you were able to heal her with the same substance, and it didn't kill her," I retorted.

After another long pause, Tik said, "Tik Tik Tik, NO!" Quickly, Tik dropped into the ground, disappearing without a trace of himself.

I tried to call back out to him and got no response.

Emilia spoke out mockingly, stating, "Are you sure he's your friend?"

"No, he is, in fact, using me, but we have the same goal, I think, at least," I replied.
