I was sleeping on the couch. Jave  came over and threw a blanket over me. Then he went to his bed. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain on my chest and arm. As I woke I realized that I had spilled the hot chocolate. ~ Great~ I thought. I sat up. Taking the edge of the shirt I was wearing I used it to clean up the hot chocolate to see a nice burn on my arm. I knew that there would be one on my chest as well. I shrugged and went back to sleep.

    As soon as the sun went down Jave came and dumped ice on my head. Shivering and startled I quickly sat up. I felt the ice on my burn. It felt really good. I looked at Jave. "What was that for?" I asked.

     "Time to start training for the evening. Starting with healing those burns." he said, absolutely no feeling in his voice. "Outside now."

        I got up and went outside. Like I had done the night before I drew in the mists and healed the burns on my chest and arm. I also relaxed the sore muscles. I waited as he inspected me.

        "Now we shall go." he said turning and walking away.

        "Go where?" I asked.

          "You shall see." he replied.
