Chapter 244: Sylrin the Sickly

After meeting the elf and separating her from her storage ring, the quest [Retrieve and destroy Grandmaster Lothrein's prized Journal] was all but completed.

The only thing left was to destroy the journal and that [500XP] prize would be mine.

Unfortunately, not long after, Sylrin succumbed to the feverish side effect of Sensei's Brew. We now rested on top of a hidden alcove in the valley overlooking the deep chasm, with a very sick Sylrin at my side.

Initially I wanted to return to the shadow lair as it was more hidden, but the trip was too far for Sylrin to make it.

When Sylrin rolled over to rest his head on my curls, I scowled.

Didn't he realise I was a coldblooded creature? There was no warmth here!

I sighed. I should have been celebrating…why was I stuck caring for this sick lizard?

And a heavy one at that.
