It barely felt like any time at all. But are you sure you don't want us taking you to the hospital, priest?

It will have to wait until we get to Ion. I have... a rare blood condition. I can get a transfusion there.

By Lun! Teth's Disorder! I'm so sorry.

[???]

[Teth's Disorder? It's a Drago genetic condition. "Prince's Blight", as it's sometimes called. They can only recieve blood from those with the disease.]

[It's most common in Ion, so they have the largest blood reserves. They're very limited outside of Drago nations...]

[So the priest with a blood disease takes the artifact that drains his blood? Doesn't seem like a good combination.]

[It doesn't usually show up until around his age. Drago are born into their castes, so him being a Dragoon was already chosen for him long before his disease showed up.]

[What an awful way to live, being born into a role. I don't get Drago. Not one bit.]

It's a good sign we can still open the door.

Daaaaad! We're home!! You can call off the search!!

The security crystal system is still on... and I've turned it off. He's not here.

So where is he? Still at town hall? It's almost midnight.

Probably. Should we wait here? Everyone else is still outside.

No, let's head to town hall. It's pretty close by. If he's not there, then we can come back here. But if he's there, something important is happening.
