The fight could have been worse. They’d all lived, he hadn’t been the only one who got messy, and he'd got armour. Sure, he's lost his only weapon and had to rely on magic, but he had fighting spells so could defend himself without trouble.

Plus, the group seemed so preoccupied with protecting Shana's modesty as she bathed, they didn’t notice the glances Krill kept taking of Nolan as the two cleaned closeby.

To his knowledge, they also didn’t notice the stirring between his legs these glances caused.

But the respite was shortlived and the forest sent a new test. Exploding pigs, filled with slime. Krill took to his feet and prepared his magic, using a new spell. With the same energy of his shield, he began to make sharp spikes that would kill the pigs with ease.

Compared to the dragon, this would be an easy and mess free encounter.
