Chapter 25: Don't blame it on them!

"You are late," Bael said, handing them the scroll with the quest details. "Make sure you are not late again. Or, I will send you to the community stable for three days straight."

"Sir, yes, sir," the four chorused, and Bael nodded his approval. He had known, from the start, where the four had gone. But he knew that it was that time of the year. The higher ups were going to make another attack on the Emporiums, and Bael had known that they would need a healer as good as Felix on site.

As soon as Bael walked away, Felix unrolled the scroll, and then blinked. Was this really a quest?

"What is it?" Edward asked, looking at Felix's expression.

"I am to have clinic duty, and the rest of you are to guard me," Felix said. Was this a joke? Why was Bael giving them such a quest? They were a good party, and three out of the four would just sit on their butts.
