"Ray I thought you said you ran out of Mana," James said as the six of them were safe inside Ray\'s [Ice dome]

"Yes, I don\'t know how but I managed to cast the spell," Ray said.

"Are you alright?" James asked.

"Yes I\'m fine"

*Ding*

[Mana -1/150]

Immediately Ray saw the message, his entire body began to vibrate and he fell to the ground.

"Ray..." Leia shouted and caught him before he fell to the ground.

"Sir what is wrong with him?" Leia asked James.

"Mana sickness..."

The [ice dome] that Ray created began to crack and it eventually broke into pieces of ice and fell down.

The group wasn\'t affected by the ice, there was more trouble at hand, Alfred was unconscious but he was still breathing, Authur wasn\'t unconscious but he couldn\'t walk, and Ray was vibrating furiously.

"We need a mage to cure his Mana sickness or else he could die" James said.

"What...we are not going to see a mage around, the village is burnt down and there is no way to contact anyone," Gabriel said.

Tears began to drop from Leia\'s eyes, she held Ray still so he could stop shaking but it didn\'t work, Ray\'s whole body was frighteningly cold.

"We have to get on the carriage and return back to the capital," James said.

"Sir" Gabriel pointed towards the carriage they came with.

The wood of the carriage was burnt and the horse was dead, there was no way to return back to the capital and Ray wasn\'t going to last long.

*Thud! Thud! Thud!*

Loud galloping sounds were heard and the group became alert, it sounded like horses were running toward the village, but they was no way to know if they were friendly or dangerous.

The horses soon came into sight and stopped in front of the village, soon knights ran into the village to look around.

"People are over here" a voice shouted.

James looked at them and dropped his sword to the ground, they were knights of Avalon, former knights to be precise.

"What! James is that you" a man rushed towards him.

Leia and Gabriel smiled in happiness as the man came towards James.

"What happened?" the man asked.

"A beast, but that\'s not important do you have a mage among you?" James asked.

"Yes, but we only have a healer in our group, you know my guild isn\'t that popular," the man said.

"That\'s fine, bring him over" James shouted.

"They are adventurers, we attended the knights\' academy together," James told Leia and Gabriel.

A woman quickly rushed over to where the group was, she stopped when she saw Ray, she quickly bent down and placed her hands on Ray.

"He\'s dying" she shouted.

"What! you have to do something, Ray can\'t die" Leia shouted.

"I won\'t let him die, he\'s cold, I need fire" the woman shouted.

"Fire...we can\'t start a fire, the weather is too cold," another man said.

All the of adventurers gathered around them as the woman tried her best to cure Ray.

"I can\'t do this, his body is freezing up we need to heat it up" the woman said.

"I can heat his body up" James said.

"Why didn\'t you say so when I asked for fire" the woman shouted.

"I thought you needed it for something else"

"Heat him up and stop talking," the woman said.

\'Wow, she has an attitude, but I\'m sure it\'s because she\'s a healer, she can\'t stand and watch someone die, Ray please wake up\' Leia said inwardly.

James placed his hands on Ray and infused Ki into his body, immediately James began to heat Ray\'s temperature up. The healer supported him and placed her hands on Ray\'s head.

"You are not heating him up enough, burn him up," the woman said.

"But wouldn\'t that affect him?" James asked.

"I\'m a healer and a mage, are you doubting my abilities?"

"No I\'m sorry," James said.

James took a deep breath and concentrate, he infused more Ki till Ray was practically burning up.

"Yes, that\'s it just a few more seconds," the healer said.

Slowly Ray\'s body stopped vibrating and his breathing returned to normal, the mage smiled for a job well done.

"Remove his top, his body is too hot," the mage said.

Leia quickly removed Ray\'s shirt and in the process, her hands touched Ray\'s chest, his body was truly hot but that was not what she was thinking.

Even though Ray had a medium build, his training had an effect on his body, Leia couldn\'t take her eyes off his chest till Gabriel touched her.

Leia snapped out of her daze and looked around, they were all looking at her with a smile on their faces, Leia quickly faced down from embarrassment.

"Who is next?" the healer asked.

"I\'m alright I just need rest, please heal Alfred," Authur said in a weak voice.

"Luckily he\'s not badly injured, he going to be okay," the healer said as she placed her hands on Alfred\'s stomach.

James let out a sigh of relief as he was told, none of them were badly injured except for Ray who had Mana sickness but even that had been taken care of.

"Hey girl, cover him up, his body is alright now," the healer said to Leia.

Leia was still ashamed to cover Ray, she faced away from him as she covered him up with his clothes.

...

"Stupid adventurers, I wanted to finish them off, I knew beasts could not be trusted, instead of killing them off, he died instead"

The mage that came with the beast whispered to himself as he watched the knights from afar.

"I should report back," the mage said and turned around.

He took some steps before stepping upon a branch, immediately he stepped on the branch it broke and threw him off balance. The mage slipped and his head collided with a tree.

"Ouch" the mage gritted his teeth and clenched his fist in anger, he took a deep breath before standing up again and walking away.
