Over time, you had been on a few adventures with members of the Express Crew. Each one of them unique and possessing skills to help pave the path of the Trailblaze.

Following in Akivili’s footsteps, following the path he took, you went from place to place. Experiencing new, sometimes overwhelming sights. You picked up new skills along the way and bonded more with the crew. A family you had found in them.

The stop on the Xianzhou Luofu was one full of twists and turns. Battles against enemies of the Luofu, aiding the great General Jing Yuan. But one revelation that surprised everyone was Dan Heng’s true nature. A Vidyadhara. His dragon features there for everyone to see. It wasn’t something he wanted to reveal that early, but fate had other plans.

Since then, exploring, helping with the aftermath of disasters had become the norm. Yet throughout all that, he had remained a constant. He was the quiet protector. He was quick to fluster or avoid your questioning when called out on it. But his ways didn’t change.

Recent events on Penacony had left everyone tired. The next stop was Amphoreus, and everyone would need their energy to explore the unknown land. Wandering to your newly renovated room to retreat for the day, you couldn’t help but wonder about him. If he was resting right now. And the moment your bed came into view, your thoughts were immediately calmed.

There he was, curled up on your bed. Snuggled in the sheets. You could see his translucent teal hued tail coiled around him. It was like… he took comfort in your scent. The sight warmed your heart.
