New Breath of Life

It felt surreal to be back; though he earned his badge that signified him as an official world-class adventurer, he couldn't wait to go back home after what felt like years away from his family.

'I'll need to write a letter to Celly, too…It's been so long,' he thought.

Before any such travels back to his hometown could be taken, there was one thing he wanted to do most of all:

"I wanna sleep!" He announced, suddenly.

Weird looks were given from the others from the random proclamation made from the young man, though Everett and Melisande couldn't help but laugh, even drawing a quiet chuckle from the quiet, demi-human woman.

"Ya didn't have enough beauty rest already?" Everett asked.

"For your information, I did not get to sleep much while I was in the After…Actually, I spent most waking moments fighting," Emilio explained.

"Then you really should rest–you've earned it," Melisande told him with a smile.
