I was healing the few scratches Alice had sustained from the dying goblin's hands when,
*ding*
You have levelled up Lesser Healing. (Active, Intermediate Lv 4)
I dismissed the notification panel with a flick. Lesser Heal was one of her lower tier skills. Pretending to be a low level is such a drag. Now I can't raise any stronger healing spells. I thought dejectedly.
I looked at David who was counting his arrows left and then at Alice who was inspecting the roof to check for an entrance. Their current plan of action was very risky considering the fact that they were all just Copper ranked.
Of course I had no doubt that the duo were strong.... but, Never mind. and I dismissed my train of thought.
Alice stood up straight and motioned to David from the roof of the building. David nodded and closed in on me.
"Wha-What?" I stammered dumbly as he came closer. He looked me in the eye for a while . I could feel my cheeks heat up under his strong gaze and nearly averted my eyes when his next question broke my train of thought.
"Got any skills for movement?"
"Eh? Ah! I mean No."
David thought for a while and whipped me around in his hands and when i opened my eyes I found myself in his arms staring up at him.

I could feel my whole face go hot as he used his skill to move towards his sister. He set me down on the roof and nodded at his sister.I had a feeling my face was still red from the experience. I gazed at David , there was something about him that attracted me to him.
No. It wasn't his looks or smile. There was something about him that ... intrigued me. Like he was hiding something behind his cheeky smiles and crazy antics.
Alice squatted and whispered to us, "I found an entrance. It descends directly to a hall. There is a gathering of goblins inside , about 10." She then nodded at David who looked at her with narrowed eyes. Realizing there was no escape, he gave a lazy sigh.
"There's no helping it then. You do realize me killing them will attract a lot of attention right? " David drawled.
"We'll deal with it when that happens." his sister retorted.
"Act first. Talk later?. Now that's more my style" he grinned.
I couldn't keep up with the direction the conversation was going in. Helpless, I stared at Alice. She gave me a slight smile and said .
"David has a... rather .. er? Powerful skill? "
I stared at Alice suspiciously but made sure none of my feelings showed on my face. These siblings... they're definitely hiding something.
I didn't protest and just followed them as they descended the stairs. Curiously enough, it was David who had taken the lead.
He stopped when the group of goblins who were merrily chattering away, oblivious to our presence.
David nocked his arrow and concentrated his mana on the mana. The arrow slowly started to glow bright red. I got a really bad feeling .
Just before he released the skill, attracted their attraction and shouted with a wide grin " Boom Boom Mothafuckas!!"

An explosion rocked the entire dome. David had jumped on top of both of us to shield us from any falling debris.
The smoke and dust cleared and I peered at the now ruined hall. Goblin limbs and copper coins were scattered all throughout the hall. Alice went to work collecting the coins not reacting in the slightest to the smell of burning meat that now filled the while room.
I looked at David's grinning face and went " What the flying fuck was that?". I gaped at him.
"A skill" he smirked . I got no more out of him. Now I'm sure of it. These two were definitely hiding something. I paused for a bit and sighed. Like I'm one to talk.
After collecting the coins, Alice made her way back to us. She split the loot between us . I got around 20 coppers.
I then paused as I looked at David who was concentrating.
"More enemies?" I asked nervously.
"Just one. The big boss makes an appearance" he said as seriously.as possible.
I gave out a small whimper. Alice merely nodded and looked at David.
"How do we go about with this?"
"Easy. We go,the DAVID way" he said with a feral grin
"Sounds cool"
Somehow, I didn't like the sound of that.
