Chapter; It's not what it seems.

I gather enough confidence to step forwards moving in front of Camelio, in a swift move I do so bringing up a bit of dirt

"Camelio please help him up, he needs urgent care!"

he in concern looks at the man and judges that "his ribs are only a pince out of place, you should turn into your beast if you want to help him"

I glare at him, and he shivers knowing well he's just here for the scrolls.

"Alright, alright I'll use my powers to send for help" he turns around casting two fingers towards the direction he knows the village is and shoots a magical envelope in the direction going at light speeds, he turns his focus back to the man, the man in awe over what Camelio is capable just sits mouth wide open, he then gathers himself embarrassed, and awaits someone to speak to stop this awkwardness.

Camelio breaks the silence with "can we at least have your name?" I am shocked to hear the ignorance of Camelio, "CAMELIO HE'S PROBABLY INTERNALLY BLEEDING AND YOUR BOTHERED ABOUT A NAME?" Camelio smiles cheekily at me and says "well I can tell you obviously know it"

I blush, then the man chuckled squinting in pain, "I'm Zexxn, son of the emperor of the upper clans" Camelios jaw dropped "your... WHAT!? SERIA WHAT'D YOU DO!?"

I flinch, I try to say something, anything "Erkkakkkkuuymm..." well that didn't work...

"Hey i haven't been introduced, who is this Camelio guy?"

Camelio is in shock, he says "I am her childhood friend! I am her brother in other words and I won't hesitate to kick your ass if you hurt her!"

I froze, dropping back to side with Zexxn, "uh, where do I start? okay so I met him out in the streets and he seemed like he needed help with th-"

I gulped as Camelio had that over protective older brother look which interrupted what I had to say, he sighs "right well I see why you two are courting, Seria is the most beautiful and only Albino you'll ever meet!" I open my mouth wide at such ignorance, and squint in embarrassment "I WAS MERELY HELPING A FELLOW BEING!" Zexxn chuckles hurting his ribs.

Just then a huge eagle comes circling them from above, Camelio says "Right you two go with Vixen, I'll stay and collect a few ingredients"

we carefully load Zexxn onto Vixen, Camelio backs away quietly and quickly goes invisible, just then I turn around to say something to Camelio but he is gone.

Vixen asks "Who's this? another man you just happened across?"

my face turns red and I forcefully jump on Vixen to establish I'm the one in charge, then I say "IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!".

Vixen rolls his eyes and steadies himself for flight, adjusting his footing on the soft grass, then there's sounds of guards yelling, making Vixen turn his head facing the voices, he then turns forwards and focuses on preparing for flight.

"HE WAS SOMEWHERE HERE SIR, AROUND THE BUSHES"

Vixen lifts off the to right where the trees hide them more and just misses the sight of all the guards except for a local ingredient picker.
