”We live pretty long, but they usually die soon once they reach my age. The only way they can keep on living is by using mana, but even that won't keep them alive forever,” Garrik replied.

Lydia nodded. ”I see. Well, since I've read your future, how about I read your friend over there?”

Mutyx laughed. ”Nae, thanks. I dinna want me future ta be read. Probably won't even work.”

”It's just to make sure. It won't hurt you,” Lydia said.

”I said nae,” Mutyx said while releasing his divine aura.

Lydia fell back from her chair, landing on her back. That was the strongest mana she had ever felt, and she knew it was strong enough to obliterate the whole village. Feeling the aura, she was terrified. She started sweating, but she kept her cool, standing up. ”A-alright. S-so, what did you say you needed?”

Mutyx didn't like to be bossed around. He only listened to Tim because it would benefit them in the long run, but if he didn't want to do something, he would not do it. ”Just a place ta rest an' food.”

”In return, we'll help your people out.” Garrik smiled at the terrified Lydia.

Lydia grabbed the chair, making it upright again and sitting back on it. ”S-sorry, but we don't have many places to rest. Well, there's our storage. It's better than nothing. For food, we only eat three times a day to save resources. You'll have to wait till morning for the next feeding.”

Mutyx nodded. ”That'll be fine. Where be tha storage?”

Lydia smiled. ”Follow me.”

Lydia left her house, leading the two to the storage. The storage was pretty big since it was used for storing stuff. She opened the door and let the two inside.

”It's nae that bad. Though it cou' use some fixing up,” Mutyx commented.

”I'm sorry about that. If that's all, I'll be taking my leave.” Lydia left the storage, going back to her house. She sighed a sigh of relief as soon as she arrived at her house. Feeling Mutyx's powerful aura was terrifying for her.

Garrik closed the door. ”So much for rest. This hard floor will have my back sore when I wake up.”

Mutyx laughed. ”Don't ye remember who I be?”

”Ah, right. So are you going to build some beds for us?” Garrik asked.

”Obviously, now move out o' tha way.” Mutyx quickly got to work on building two beds. One for him and one for Garrik. Although he was tired, he couldn't be lazy about building something, especially when it was something he was going to sleep on.

After about ten minutes, Mutyx finished building two beds. The beds were very soft. Mutyx even made a pillow and a blanket.

Garrik yawned. ”Finally, some good rest. Thank you.” He didn't bother changing and laid down on the bed. The bed was perfect. It wasn't too soft to where he would sink in, and it wasn't too hard where his back would hurt, it was just right.

Garrik didn't expect for Mutyx to wear pajamas. Mutyx was wearing white pajamas with gold stripes. ”I didn't realize you wore pajamas.”
