"When I came to I found that Jennifer had already joined the Barrels, before stopping off at my room she had gone to Piggeh's room and given him that nice scar you see there." Stephano finishes pointing at the scar going from Piggeh's collar bone to his belly button.

"It was totally not cool, bro."

Piggeh adds, Stephano opens his mouth to tell the pink haired teen to shut up but something catches his eye something shining through the thick fog, not bright just a small glint of light just enough to catch his attention. He then realizes what the light is, the shining of an arrow in the distance being illuminated by either a candle or a lantern. His heightened hearing detects a whistling sound, in a split second he leaps from his seat on the bed knocking down Piggeh, Pewdie, and Mr. Chair. When he knocks them down Stephano whacks his knee on the leg of the chair causing him to let out a whimper, the arrow smashes through the window embedding itself into the wall. Stephano holds them all to the ground for two minutes making sure no more arrows break through the window. When he's sure it's clear he sits up on his knees ignoring the throbbing pain in his right knee.

"Is everyone okay?" He asks casting his gaze out the window trying to see who attacked them.

"I'm cool, bro." Piggeh says looking himself over for wounds.

"A little sore but I'm okay." Pewdie says rubbing his left shoulder.

"I-I-I'm f-fine…" Mr. Chair shudders looking wide eyed and scared, Piggeh and Mr. Chair stand up helping Pewdie to his feet as well, Stephano stays on the ground.

"I uh… I need some help." His eyes full of shame as Piggeh helps the golden boy to his feet.

"Ya alright, man?"

"I just hit my knee, it'll be fine after a while." He lets out a small grunt as he puts pressure on his right leg, Piggeh grabs the lantern and gives it to Stephano not wanting him to bend down fearing he'll fall. "Alright we should get back to camp."

He announces but the moment Stephano takes a step his leg gives out, he would have fallen if Piggeh hadn't wrapped his arms around him and drug him back to the bed. After sitting him on the bed he knees down and pulls up Stephano's pant leg to see what the damage is, Piggeh grimaces seeing that Stephano's yellow knee has turned to a dark shade of purple with a bit of blue mixed in. Though Stephano is the most powerful fighter out of all of them he does have many weaknesses, he can't swim he sinks like a rock, and he has a weak immune system, even a simple punch to the arm can make it so he can't move it for a day at least.

"Not cool, man… totally uncool."

"It feels fine." Stephano lies somewhat knowing Piggeh would see through it.

"Maybe, but ya sure as hell not gonna be walkin' on it anytime soon." Piggeh looks at Mr. Chair. "Did ya bring any health potions with ya?" The brown haired man shakes his head, Pewdie remembers the strange blue liquid he found earlier and pulls it out of his pocket.

"Umm," He says calling Piggehs attention. "I found this in the room I woke in."

He walks over to the pink haired teen and hands him the vial, Piggeh looks at it then gets a wide smile. He hands it to Stephano who only drinks half before handing it back to Piggeh who plugs the cork into it and slips the vial into his pocket, Stephano grunts and squeezes his eyes shut. His knuckles turn white from the grip he has, he starts to sweat and breath fast as the bruise turns back to its original color. After a minute Stephano breaths a sigh of relief, with a smile he wipes the sweat from his brow.

"Thank you." He say looking at Pewdie, he stands up and limps to the door, seeing Pewdie's concern his smile widens and he lets out a small chuckle. "When the effects wear off I'll be able to walk normally." He turns to his two original companions. "You two will stick by the kings side no matter what."

He turns to the door lantern in hand and opens the door, he extends his arm so the lantern is in front of him, they leave the room with Stephano leading the way. Stephano stops and puts his hand up silently telling the rest of the group to halt, he looks around the corner to see a monster sulking around the hallway. He sets the lantern on the ground, Piggeh mouths something to Stephano in response he simply smirks and nods before going around the corner. Everything is silent until they hear a sword being drawn, the monster lets out a roar of rage, then Pewdie hears a sound that he'll never forget. A mixture of blood splattering, bones breaking, a gurgled scream, and finally a loud thud, Stephano steps back into the corridor cleaning off his now red blade with a white blood stained cloth.

"It's safe." He states before sheathing his sword after returning it to its golden shine, he picks up the lantern and they continue on their journey.

"Where's the body?" Pewdie asks noticing there's a lot of blood but no body anywhere in sight.

"Piggeh mouthed for me to hide the body when I was finished... so you wouldn't see it, my lord." After a while of walking Stephano stops and leans against the wall, worried Piggeh walks up to him touching the golden boys shoulder.

"Yo, ya alright, bro, did ya get an infection?"

"Dumbass." Stephano smiles. "The skin wasn't broken just the blood vessels." This statement makes the pink haired teen even more worried, Stephano rolls his eyes before clarifying. "A bruise is whenever the blood vessels under the skin break. The potion just wore off so my leg's a bit weak, just give me a second and I'll be fine." Stephano and Piggeh talk while Pewdie and Mr. Chair stand awkwardly waiting,

"So..." Pewdie decides to strike up a conversation with the nervous man maybe even get some answers, Mr. Chair looks over tugging at his brown hair. "You guys are siblings?"

"Hn... technically." He says scratching the back of his neck. "W-we aren't r-related b-but we all grew up together, t-took care of each other, protected each other from d-danger."

"And uh are Stephano and Piggeh umm," Pewdies face is flushed as he continues. "together?" Pewdie jumps hearing someone behind him clear their throat, he whorls around to see Stephano and Piggeh, Stephano is glaring at Piggeh whom is giving him a sly smile.

"Oh yeah that'd be nice, eh Stephano?" The pink haired teen bumps the golden boy with his hip causing him to stumble and become even more irritated. "Mmm Piggeh slide."

"Piss off, you pervert." Stephano mumbles straightening his stance and scowling at Piggeh. "I'm already in a relationship, swine. Now if you all don't mind lets get the hell out of here." He says not hiding his anger, Stephano turns around, lifts the lantern, and starts walking again his limp seems to have cleared up. After hours of walking Stephano stops in front of two large wooden doors.
