Into the Light

by Never Nestknitter

So we went into the light portal and boy howdy did we step into a hellova fight. We found a buncha hangin cages full of Mavinda's people. There was a huge golem sorta thing, a big ol' demon, and six regular size beings of light. The light beings packed quite a punch, but were easy enough to get rid of. The two big boys, however, took a minute to take care of. Abby took quite a wallop and caught on fire! I blew some cold breath on him and luckily it put the fire out without doing damage to him. Then I summoned my white stag to heal him. Soon after that, Abby went unconscious, which scared the daylights out of me. Luckily, though, that stag was still hangin around so he got right back up again. Every time he moved, I had it follow him so he could soak up all of the healing it could provide. Well, almost all of it. Mavinda took some of the healing away from Abby for his own self. I was annoyed, but to be fair, Mavinda was pretty hurt too, and Abby was fine in the long run. I guess I could maybe use some of my healing capabilities on more than just Abby. That never really occurred to me before. I wonder if it could work on Arc too. Maybe I should try to learn some tinkering or something just in case. I sure would hate to lose him. Anyway once all of the baddies were put down, Mavinda and Abby discovered that if they put their light and dark powers together, they could open the cages and free Mavinda's order. They were in pretty bad shape, so we had to help them all get back to The Nest. I did what I could to help Mavinda care for them, but I think he felt it was something he needed to do for them, so I hope I didn't step on his toes. He made them a soup... I guess that what you'd call it. He used rats as the meat. I'da been happy to hunt something, but maybe rodent eatin is a part of their whole thing. The soup didn't smell so good, but his people seemed happy just to get anything to eat, so all's well that ends well I guess. The whole thing made me gain some respect for Mavinda. It was good to see him care so deeply for his people that he truly gave all of himself. I can relate to that. I'm starting to think those guys that told me not to trust him don't know the full story. I am going to make an effort to get to know him better from now on. Ya know, now that I think about it, I'm glad he got some of my healin. I'm gonna try makin a friend outa him.
