"Thorn? What is his condition?" Huntsman asked. "He is alive, just still out of it," Rose replied. She was not in her Huntsgirl uniform, so she didn't know why she was being called Thorn.
"Keep watch on him," Huntsman said and left the room. Rose checked over Dave again. "No serious injuries. But, I can't really tell until he wakes up," she said softly to herself.
Dave murmured and opened his eyes. "Where am I?" he asked weakly and then coughed but pain took over around his chest. "We are at home," Rose told him. "Now, can you tell me where you hurt?" "My chest is killing me badly," Dave told her. "Broken ribs, I think. We will have it checked out," Rose said.
Dave tried to get up but Rose pushed him down lightly. "I have to go," he said. "No, you are staying put. What happened?" Rose asked. "I…," Dave started. He then thought back to getting hit by the Dark Dragon's tail. "I…don't know," he lied, closing his eyes.
"Well, it seemed like you were falling from the sky, but I caught you just before you hit the ground," Rose told him. "Thank you," Dave said. "No problem. Now sleep," Rose told him. Dave nodded and fell asleep.
Jake and Laoshi walked around the streets. "Where is Dave or his body?" Jake asked. "I do not know the answer to that question young one," Laoshi said. "Did the Dark Dragon get him?" Jake asked.
"He didn't have time. Dave would of hit the ground before he could of gotten to him. And I don't see what the Dark Dragon could want with a body," Laoshi said.
"But if he is alive, wouldn't he of come back?" Jake asked. "That is what I was thinking about. The only answer I have to that is that someone could have him," Laoshi answered. "But who?" Jake asked himself and then an answer came to his head. "Rose," he said.
