Unfathomable Cheat

Karl didn't notice that Misty had changed into the form of a dog - sized white dragon until the next morning, when he felt a small body trying to insert itself into his bed.

The others had come to wake him up, but Lotus was hoping to steal his spot without waking the dragon.

Of course, it didn't work, but Misty had no intentions of getting out of bed, and Lotus wore pleasant smelling body lotion.

Karl reached up and settled his fingertips into the stonework of the block wall to lift himself straight up out of bed, then pushed off the wall to land on the floor.

"As impressive as that feat of physical strength is, you should put pants on before you come to breakfast. Lotus will miss the meal without complaints, but you should eat." Tessa whispered.

Karl put his armour on to blend with the rest of the team and made his way to breakfast. 

Halfway down, the Acolytes were holding everyone's hands, acting as their guides.
