Red: Oh god, I did it again…

He says in a shaky tone as he starts to shed tears. His face bearing an expression of Shock and distraught.

--- Chapter 11 ---

Red quickly runs to Luna and holds her in his arms.

Red: Come on. Come on, wake up. PLEASE!

Still limp, she starts to blink her eyes open. She starts to smile

Luna: Good to see you back.

Red: … You too

He says with a smile back.

The rest start to pick themselves off the ground.

Ray: It's gonna take alot more than a couple burns to put me down.

Orson: Yah haha.

Mica: I was blown up repeatedly for pete's sake, I can't go down from that

Red: Glad to hear it.

He says with a tear in his eye. Red picks Luna up and they all walk to the cart. They all take their seats.

Luna: I don't want to say it because everyone is taking it well, but these burns so freaking much (T_T)

The cart begins to move extremely fast from Branders speed. They eventually arrive at their destination.

???: Good good! Glad to see my shipment is on time.

An elderly man with a long beard states as they pull up to his shop.

???: But you look worse for wear, what happened to you folks.

Ray: S-sir, would there be any reason bandits would attack our cart, or your stuff?

???: I am a magic item smith, so there's always a reason.

Ray: But, any specific reason for this cart?

???: These materials are rarer than normal materials.

Ray: I see, but why not just steal the magic items from the shop after they have been made.

Mica: Probably because the material is worth more to them than the magic items he would make with it.

Orson: And if that's the case, it's safe to assume they have a magic item crafter of their own.

???: And a good one at that.

Ray: What makes you say that?

???: Not to toot my own horn but, these materials are hard to utilize for magic items, but they wield some of the best outcome.

Ray: Right. We need to get back fast and tell master

Orson: Agreed.

The three get back in the cart with Red and Luna.

???: Good luck, safe travels!

They nod as Brander prepares to bolt. They arrive at the guild hall a couple hours later, with the master standing outside. Luna noticed Red was seemingly down, but as soon as they got back, he shaked his head and put a smile back on his face. It makes Luna happy to see him smiling but also gets the feeling like it's a front. Thinking of what he said, her mind wanders.

Red: Oh god, I did it again…

Red: Hey ma-

Master punches him in the face.

Master: You're late again!!

This familiar scene happens in the background of Luna’s thoughts.

Luna: What happened to him clearly happened before and upset him. Everyone was freaked out, and i know i've only known them for a little over a day, but he seems to be happy all the time. He saved me, he took that form, and saved me.

Red: Luna! Come on, we got to talk to the master!

Red says with bruises and lumps given by the master. Luna collects herself and puts on a smile.

Luna: Right! Coming! Red, I will get stronger, so you don't have to take that form to save me. Never again.
