Shameful Loss

Northern got what Cal was trying to do, and really, that was smart. He had been fighting for so long that he had lost track of time.

The sky above was beginning to get bright, which meant that they were probably nearing morning.

If he was to evaluate it, he'd say that he had been fighting all night.

'It's just like that time…' his mind drifted towards the time he fought with monsters all night back at Lotheliwan stronghold.

This was a similar problem too.

'How do I increase my stamina…?'

Northern was beginning to consider basics which he had missed from the beginning, those drills and exercises that increase stamina.

'I would definitely do that should I leave this place right now. However, right now… I need a miracle…'

He was not even worried about fighting Cal; he could decide to just bring Koll into this fight and head to Raven.

But he wanted to fight Cal; he needed the experience.
