Ginny quickly waded into the water of the hot spring. She headed straight towards her favorite spot, a rocky part of the small pool where she could sit on the smooth rocks under the water and immerse herself up to her neck while resting her back on the rocks that form the bank. Once seated there, one would find oneself in a semi-reclining position and enjoy the heated water that flows calmly around you.
She rested her head on the rocks and looked up towards the sky. It was blue and clear with a few clouds dotting it. Beautiful. Just a perfect day for a dip and to relax in the hot pool. The spring emerged in front of a rock face that covers about 3 sides of the pool and towers up about 50 feet with trees lining the whole area. It was quite secluded and Ginny suspected that apart from her and Cassie, no one from the nearby town Bronvale knows about it. No one has ever mentioned the hot spring and it was not suprising as the water from the pool disappeared underground again just a short distance from where Ginny was sitting. You would also have to venture quite some distance into a rainforest to get to it.
As Ginny sat there relaxing, she found herself absent mindedly running her left index finger up and down a scar in between her breasts. The scar caused by Radvorris trying to sacrifice her to unleash Mephisto close to 5 months back. Ginny sighed. She was still not back to her full strength yet. She estimated that she has regained around 85% of her strength from before.
Torrhan, the healer in Bronvale had told her that she was extremely lucky. That stab would have killed any other person immediately. Ginny would have perished too had not it been for the fact that Ginny's heart was located slightly more off center than most people. This caused the blade to completely miss her heart. It was also another stroke of miracle that the blade missed all of Ginny's vital arteries surrounding her heart as well as her lungs. Nevertheless, Ginny had lost a lot of blood. She had nearly bled to death. Had it not been Cassie who used up all of her strength to teleport them, Ginny would never have made it.
Since she had regained consciousness, she had been recuperating in Bronvale. Cassie had been at her side all this time too, fussing about her. Ginny smiled at the thought. Cassie has been like a nagging mother while she recovered. She complained when Ginny did finish her vegetables and complained when she got out of bed to stretch saying that she should not be moving about. It had annoyed her at the time but looking back, she was glad Cassie was there. With Cassie around, Ginny felt safe. She felt that she could be off her guard and just concentrated on getting better.
It had only been about 2 months since Ginny was well enough to come out and start to physically re-train her body. It was around that time too that they had found this hot spring during one of their hikes in the forest. After that, they have frequented the place quite a lot. Sometimes together and sometimes alone. It was also due to this fact that Ginny now sported a light tan. Her pale skin now had a slight bronzed look to it. It also reminded Ginny that she had yet to replace her armor lost in that infernal tower. She remembered when she had to borrow one of Cassie's robe to go out and buy herself some clothes. The robes barely fit Ginny. Cassie had remarked that Ginny's breasts looked like they were about to burst out at any time in her robes and wondered aloud how a demon hunter can be so well endowed when they are supposed to be running around chasing after demons. It was only at that time that Ginny realized that her bosom were much larger than Cassie's. She also noticed that although Cassie was less well endowed, she was curvaceous and petite. Ginny was especially jealous of Cassie's long, slim legs that looked marvelous.
Ginny's reminiscing was interrupted by the appearance of those very legs she was thinking about. She watched as the pair of legs disappeared into the hot water beside her.
"Not doing any training today, huh?" Cassie remarked as she slowly sat down in the water just next to Ginny. "Ooohh... these waters are just perfect!" she continued.
"Nah," Ginny replied nonchalantly. "I was thinking to just take the day off."
"If you keep taking days off, you'll never regain your fitness," Cassie remarked.
"Blame it on this hot spring then," Ginny replied. "I've never found any other that's as comfortable and as relaxing as this one."
"Why don't you just admit that you're lazy?" Cassie teased.
"Speak for yourself! You're getting flabby too!" Ginny retorted and grabbed at Cassie's waist and pinched playfully. While her hands were there, Ginny felt the scar on the left side of Cassie's waist, courtesy of Radvorris too.
"I am not!" Cassie denied and quickly pushed Ginny's hands away. She then scooped up some water and threw it at Ginny's face.
"Hey! No fair!" Ginny protested and started to splash water back at Cassie and the two women started to play in the water like 2 carefree children.
