Strange Creatures

Ember watched as the man covered in bandages tried to pick himself up after the lengthy bedrest. Rholas was too prideful to let Ember help him walk toward the bathroom where he could relieve himself. After a day of being bedridden and fed, nature called for him. 

"Let me help you," she asked again with a frown. "Your muscles have yet to recover from the wounds. The searing heat seems to linger inside your body even after the source is gone." 

"That's what it means to be eradicated with holy light," Rholas said. His voice had recovered, but it was still hoarse. "But I can take care of my own damn business." 

Ember sighed as she gave up the notion of helping him and went to sit on a chair. She took out a tablet from her dimensional bracelet and began reading the latest news around the world. The tablet was an artifact connected to major news agencies around the world.
