The elf that had said all that split from Adym and Callie to get the medic, and it was shortly after the pair arrived that someone else had approached.

"Come, you both need to rest, at the very least." They said, walking past them and inside. After a little direction, Callie was laying back on a cot that was specifically for treatment, and Adym was sitting in a chair that was right neasr by. The elf handed him a bulb that was filled with a clear citrus scented liquid.

"Drink.. Exhaustion I always easy to treat." They said before waiting for him to do so, knowing that he'd feel better shortly, and that it would be better to wait before getting any information from him. While waiting, they placed a few runic stones around Callie on the cot, to preserve the life she had.

Adym nodded slowly, and brought the bulb to his lips, allowing the liquid to slip into his mouth and down his throat.

Once he did, he exhaled slowly, and relaxed his body.

"I can feel it." he said.

"Reinvigorating and re-energising my body." he commented.

"This is truly amazing." he went on.

"I'm always in awe of that nectar."

"It's an absolutely wonderful plant that has far more uses than just something to liven people up." They commented with a light chuckle. After a few minutes, they sighed and looked to Adym, a serious expression on their face.

"Now, please." They started.

"Tell me what happened, and wht I need to treat with the young lady."

Adym looked back at them, and sighed.

He gathered his thoughts, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and spoke.

He told her all that had happened. What they had done, and what had happened to them.

"...the guardian was corrupted." he said.

"But we... took care of it, and a new one seems to be there now." he told her.

"...though it seems like the venom is in her system." he said quietly.

"That scares me."

The medic nodded before getting to their feet.

"I can understand why." Was said after a second or two as they started to collect what it was that they needed.

"Your home here should still be livable, if you wish to go there. I expect that she will be here overnight. There is absolutel yno reason for you to remain here, stressing out."

Again, Adym was silent, before sighing and nodding.

"...you're right." he admitted.

"I'd just make things worse here." he said.

"I hate that, but I cannot deny it." he mumbled further, shaking his head.

"Thank you." he then told them.

"For what you've done for me, and anything you can do for Callie." he went on.

"...fair warning, she... well... uh..." he then stammered, before telling them about what had happened in the dimensional transport gate, and what Vyran seemed to have done to her.

"Though it seems like things are slipping through the cracks." he added.

"Well, I don't think that anything of that sort will make a difference." They admitted.

"However, it is good to know, in the event that something does happen." They added.

"Now, please leave me to my work. I will contact you once I know anything."

Adym nodded once more.

"All right." he replied.

"Just... be aware that she thinks that this might not be real, or whatever." he said.

"She's more than a little overwhelmed by this world." he added.

They then parted ways, and he made his way back to his old house, and found it to be perfectly liveable, if not a bit dusty.

"......no place like home." he said quietly to himself.

He would clean up a little, and then crash in his bed. He felt immensely tired.

And clean Adym did. He cleaned, and slept better than he expected he would. It seemed being so drained after the day was enough for him.

It was as he was sleeping that there was a kncok on his door. It was easy to believe that it was the contact regarding Callie.

The knocking was persistent though, and he woke relatively easy from it, being quite well rested.

When he answered the door, he saw someone he really hadn't expected. She had her back to him, looking around and taking in the beauty fo the city, or at least where his house was located.

His mouth dropped open, and he found himself at a loss for words, initially.

Finally, his voice found him.

"Ah..." he stammered.

"Callie?" he asked.

"Is... that you?" he asked further.

All the while, he was wondering if he was still asleep. She couldn't have recovered THAT much, THAT soon.

Could she?

The figure turned to face him, revealing it to be a shockingly pale Callie.

"Hey." She said tiredly.

"Was given a map with your placed marked on it." She added as a means of explaining how she found his house.

"Was told that I was good to leave, but to take it easy for a few days." She paused a moment.

"Mind if I come in?"

"Ah..." Adym was silent for a moment again, before he nodded.

"Y-yes." he then said.

"I mean no! I mean yes! I mean-!" he started to sputtered, before shaking his head vigorously.

He then sighed, and stepped out of the way.

"Please." he said.

"Do come in." he told her.

"My home is your home."

Callie just chuckled lightly before stepping in and giving ADym a hug. It wasn't at full strength, though, and it was very much easy to tell.

"Thanks for worrying." She said with a smile.

"So... is this your home-home?" She asked as he closed the door after she'd stepped in.

Adym managed to return the embrace, and his face turned a little red when she thanked him for worrying about her.

"Ah... yeah." he then said, answering her question.

"It is." he told her.

"Haven't been here in a while." he went on.

"...still as I remembered it, too." he then admitted.

"Guess you can never truly leave your home behind."

"Sounds about right." Callie agreed as they made hteir way somewhere to sit down. Callie, meanwhile, kind of ended up laying down a bit.

"So... why did you leave home?" She asked out of the blue.

"Because... this place is actually rather nice. I'm not sure why someone would want to leave."

"....I didn't WANT to leave." Adym responded.

"I... I felt like I HAD to." he said.

"My... abilities aren't... well... normal." he went on.

"And there are those out there who would want that power for themselves." he continued.

"I felt that... staying in my home would put the rest of them in danger." he then explained.

"So... so I left."

Callie had to admit, she was curious.

"Wait, what?" She asked.

"You've never told me specifically what's going on." She added.

"I ... don't think you did anyway?"

"........I didn't." Adym mumbled.

"Mostly because... well... you seemed a bit overwhelmed already." he told her. "At the time, the full story would have compounded upon that." he went on.

"But... the long and short of it is; this world is maintained and balanced by several forces." he explained. "For each of those forces, there is a person that is... well... they serve as an anchor point for that force, and can freely control it." he went on.

"They're called 'cruxes'." he then said further.

"I am the Crux of Nature." he continued.

"And there is someone out there that wishes to have all the power of the cruxes for themselves." he told her.

"...if he succeeds, he will rule over this entire realm."

Callie was silent for a moment before sighing and just grabbing a few strands of her hand, looking to it.

". . . something tells me that you aren't alone." She admitted as she let go of her hair, hooking the ice blue clump behind her ear.

"Since you and I are the only two I've seen with hair that has the unnatural hues."

"......well, you're not wrong." Adym responded.

"There ARE other cruxes out there." he said.

"And that man wants them." he mumbled.

He then sighed and looked at Callie, specifically, the ice blue in her hair.

"And yes, the hair IS a dead giveaway." he confirmed.

"It's just something that happens with cruxes."
