The next few days, business ran as usual at the noodle house. Skylor's arm healed up quickly thanks to the spell and she was out delivering orders to the Serpentine families. After what she did to the droids, she was welcomed with open arms to their underground passages.

"I just wanted to help out, you go through so much every day. It's the least I can do." She replied, handing out more boxes of dumplings to the hungry snakes. "I think that's the last of them."

"Pleassssssse, take thisssss." The Hypnobrai General, Skales slithered up to the master of Amber, handing her a silver blade. "Our Fangblade, asssssss thanksssssssss."

"But this is part of your history, you've had it here for decades."

"We insssssssissssst, you helped one of our own. Such a deed dessservessss our blade, it was once the fang of our God, the Great Devourer. Many centuriesssss ago, the very firssst of our kind had to rely on fire. Then she arrived, her venom we drank granted ussssss our unique abilitiesssss."

Smiling, Skylor carried the blade alongside her as she returned. She didn't know it, but she was being watched. He grinned and went through the alleys.

"Ah! Watch where you're driving!" Skylor snapped, a droid biker ran over a dark haired man. Rushing over, she froze them and helped the newcomer up. "You alright?"

"Y.. Yeah, I think. Thanks, but you didn't need to do that."

"I've seen what they do, I'm surprised you're barely hurt."

"Of course, the droids wouldn't think of hurting what they were programmed to protect."

"Grr.. I guess snakes aren't worth protecting to them." She thought, helping the man back to his feet. "Oh, I'm Skylor by the way. What is your name?"

"Um.. I'm Ray, I'm new around here. From out of town, moved in a couple hours ago." He replied. "Would you mind.. Um.. Walking me home? I would like to.. Umm.. Heh..."

Skylor couldn't help but find him cute, blushing as he tried to finish his sentence. "I guess I could take a little detour."

Taking his hand, she could feel a fire power emanating from him. She had a weird feeling, but brushed it off, knowing she met other elementals in the city. But once she found herself in an alleyway, a stone hand grabbed her. "What the-"

"I hope you don't mind I brought some friends. Cole, mind doing the honors?"

Skylor was about to respond when a strong punch knocked her out cold. "Sorry cutie, but the prince pays good."
