In the middle of the night, disaster struck.
Disaster struck, but the situation could still be salvaged.
All it required was a bit of improvisation.
"Touya! TOUYA...!"
My yells reverberating endlessly off every surface as I went, I ran deep into the Dragon Tribe's cave, where the Protagonist and his party slept.
Or at least, those who remained.
"Everyone, wake up right now!"
Disturbing their slumber as chaotically as I could, they each jumped up, their widened, drowsy eyes wandering to find me.
"Ah!"
"Master, are you okay?!"
"Y-yes, I'm fine, but... Enki...? W-what's going on, what's with all the noise-- no, what happened to you?! Are you alright?!"
As they slowly realised the terrible state my body was in, I'm sure they also gradually began to imagine all kinds of things.
"Wait, where's Katya?!"
"There's no time! A monster attacked me while I was getting some fresh air outside, but Katya saved me. Someone needs to help her quickly!"
