Chapter 22: The spread

When the third person with dragon pox came to Felix, he knew that this was a spread. Yet, he didn't know how to stop the adventurers from leaving. He remembered Godrick, to whom he had given a second checkup, for his lungs. The weathered face swam to the forefront of his mind.

What these people needed, was a quarantine. Dragon pox was a dangerous disease, and most of the infected were adults. Some were mostly out of it, being worse off than Godrick.

Felix straightened up, and cleared his throat. He knew that there would be a pushback, but that didn't mean he'd quit.

"Everyone with dragon pox, go to the clearing over there," Felix said, his voice carrying over the crowd.

"Why? Will you ignore us?" A woman asked, the spots on her face clear to be seen.
