nI smiled, but I also activated my Fire Aspect, and fire slowly covered my body, but it didn't cause Beeno to pull back from my chest.

nI grinned down at her and lifted into the air slowly, not wanting to set everything below me on fire. Once I was about fifty feet in the air, I turned on the heat, rocketing forward to my destination on the map.

nNow that Hero was back in my head, I no longer had to rely on doing everything myself. I knew that Hero helped me out a lot, but having him gone made me realize just how much I relied on him.

nIt's about time that you noticed, but I am just glad that you were all able to make it back safely.

n*Wataluga: You were talking about the table?*

nI didn't have far to go, so I relayed about Arthur Pendragon and his Knight, and it was well-received by both Elementals. Of course, I didn't really explain that much; Hero had to explain most of it because reading wasn't really my thing.

n*Fireden: I like the sound of it! I'll be that Merlin fellow! He sounds like a storyteller!*

n*Wataluga: I think we should just stick to using our names.*

n'Yes, I agree with Wataluga. I am not learning a whole bunch of new names and trying to keep them straight. So, the ERTCG works, right?'

nI was just slowing down to hover over the top of the area that was marked out on the map. I was hoping that they had not moved whatever might be down there if there was even anything.

n*Wataluga: So then what about the group? You said that the people who were sitting at the table were a group, right? What is the point of having the group in it if a round table means the same thing?*

n'That is a fair point, but this really isn't about the Round Table; I just thought it was fitting, but it is a Chat Group, and if the G isn't there, it doesn't sound as good, in my opinion.'

n*Fireden: Bah! Sounds great, but who really cares? Let's go down there and let us out so we can help you! I have been cooped up for too long!*

n'What about me? If you guys leave, then what am I going to use to protect myself?'

nIf I let both of them out, I would be left defenseless because they would take the Totem Marks with them. It wasn't like my Rancher system gave me any buffs or anything, just an experience boost, which I haven't really seen much improvement with.

n*Fireden: LMFAO!*

n*Wataluga: ROLF!*

n'What the hell is so funny?'

n*Fireden: BWAHAHA!*

n*Wataluga: WHEEZE!*

nAlright, I wasn't sure what the hell was wrong with these two jokers, and Hero was suspiciously quiet. I had no clue what was causing them to laugh like hyenas, but I was starting to get annoyed.

nI dropped to the ground, slowing just before I set down, and I extinguished my flame.

n*Grogvel: Hey! Long time no talk, I guess, but you have only been going for just over an hour. What are the other two saying in chat?*

nOne moment, I am uploading Text expression. Unfortunately, we can not use emojis without someone drawing them.

n'No, there is nothing unfortunate about that, and even if we could, there is no way I am going to have eggplant emojis while I am trying to do the nasty! Now, what is so damn funny?'

nYou don't need anything to fight the creatures on this island, here. I will pull up just your stat sheet, the one you have been looking at stopped working when you went over. I was just able to get this one back online, but the other two can sense your strength.

nI blinked as I slowly set Beeno down; what were they talking about? I didn't really feel that different.

nIs it broken?

nI think so but in your favor. I have never seen this, and I have some of my memories back of other times I have helped you like this, from before.

nMaybe it has something to do with my training in my mind or just the enormous spikes of energy that I absorbed when activating the Pact Aspects.

nWhatever the cause of this dramatic improvement, I was powerful and could handle my own. Now I see the reason for the constant laughing; it was well deserved after the worrying I was doing.

nI was a lot different now, and I felt like I had paid the piper this time to get this boost. The pain was a distant memory, but that didn't make what happened any less real, and I knew I would do it again.

nI Summoned Fireden, Wataluga, but then I also felt the connection to Windorf and Grovel. I used the connections, and I was able to summon them as well.

nThis won't work everywhere like this, but since you control the island's Demons, we can use the Fire Seal embedded in this island. We can draw power faster, but this Seal is meant to be weak.

n

"You look different. Did you just go somewhere to eat and work out the entire time?

" Windorf asked with a sarcastic smile but then got sprayed directly in the mouth with water.

n

"I activated two Pact Aspects and then combined them. Not fun! Then I proceeded to break....

" I growled at Windorf, whose windy eyes went big.

nI trailed off when I tried to think of how many there were, but Fireden spoke up.

n

"Fifteen actual breaks and twenty-one fractures,

" Fireden added helpfully for me.

n

"Yeah, Fifteen breaks… wait, really? Are you kidding me?

" I asked, and Beeno started to poke me with stiff jabs with her finger.

n

"Hey! What are you doing?!

" I said as I jumped back from her.

n

"How can you get this many things broken? And then be alive?

" Beeno demanded.

n

"The planet ** him out, and he landed on a rock, and I patched him up. Now, can we stop flapping our gums and go see what the two-legged dogs think is so damn interesting here?

" Fireden growled.
