a time before as well,” Preyna said with a smile. “I’d be glad to sleep out here with you all, too, if you’ll have me.”

“Oh, of course,” Kas said, and her eyes went wide as she shook her head. “I didn’t mean anything by it, I just… well, we’ve seen your chambers at the castle.”

“Yes, they’re quite nice,” Preyna laughed. “But I do sometimes miss the simpler things in life. When I was training, my father often took me to the woods, and we would camp out for days.”

“Oh, I bet that was fun,” Asta said with a smile.

“My father was never really big on camping.” Kas shrugged.

“I can understand why,” Eira laughed. “Ramir’s not one to be without his big, comfy couch, it seems.”

“That’s true,” Kas chuckled. “He prefers to be seated by the fire with a good book in his lap over anything else.”

“I used to camp out all the time when I was on my own,” Asta offered. “Though, I’m not sure it was considered camping since I lived in the woods.”

“It must have been very difficult for you.” Preyna frowned.

“It was alright.” Asta smiled and shrugged. “I learned a lot about different plants.”

“It’s true,” I agreed. “Asta knows all about herbs, and she makes the best tea.”

“Thank you, Rath.” The white-haired elf girl blushed and looked down.

“Oh, I love a good cup of tea,” Preyna said. “I’d love to try some one day.”

“Of course!” Asta perked up, and a huge grin spread across her face. “I’d love to make you tea. I’ll get up early tomorrow and make some for everyone.”

“You don’t have to do that,” Preyna said. “I’m sure you’d like to sleep in.”

“Not really,” the elf girl giggled. “We’re always up early, aren’t we, Rath?”

“Most days,” I agreed.

“Well, thank you.” Preyna nodded. “I look forward to it.”

I hated to think about Asta living out in the woods alone like she had been before we’d met, but it was a part of her past that made her who she was, and I appreciated her for it. She was a very strong and determined woman, which was part of the reason she’d made it as long as she had out on her own. I’d never really inquired as to when her parents died, but from the sounds of it, she was without them for a long time before she met us.

It was no wonder she joined our group so quickly when we found her, especially given her background with the elf king, and him throwing her in his dungeon for stealing some bread. With us, Asta knew she’d never go hungry, and I would always protect her, no matter the cost.

Asta even soul bonded with me incredibly quickly, and I was truly very lucky to have her, Kas, and Eira in my life. Eira hadn’t soul bonded with me yet, but I hoped that would come soon, and I would wait as long as necessary for her to decide that was what she wanted.

Maybe one day Preyna would decide that as well, but right then I couldn’t allow the thought to go any further. There was too much else going on, and the beautiful sorceress was still far out of my league, even though she was coming with us on our mission tomorrow.

I slowly sipped my second pint of mead, and then I went into the house and gathered up some blankets and pillows for us all. I set up one large bed near the fire for Kas, Asta, Eira, and me, and I set up another one on the other side of the fire pit for Preyna. I doubted the sorceress wanted to sleep in the same bed with us, though I couldn’t say I’d mind.

“Thank you, Rath,” Preyna told me as Kas, Asta, and Eira made their way to our bed. “I appreciate you making me my own bed, though I wouldn’t have minded sleeping with you all. It looks quite cozy over there.”

Preyna flashed her pearly-white teeth at me, and I smiled at the beautiful sorceress, but I wasn’t sure what to say. The thought of her sleeping close to me was enough to make my heart pound, and my palms grew sweaty with nervousness.

The girls all settled into bed, and Blar walked over to where Preyna laid on her blankets and curled up next to her.

“Oh, are you joining me this evening?” Preyna laughed and stroked down Blar’s back.

The little blue dragon rolled over so Preyna could scratch his belly, and she happily obliged.

I just shook my head and crawled into bed with the girls since I knew they were waiting for me to join them before they actually fell asleep.

Once I was in the blankets with the girls around me, I let out a deep breath and looked up at the sky. It felt good to be back home, even if I wasn’t sure how long we’d be here.

Most of the time, I stayed up to keep watch while the girls slept, but here, I didn’t feel the need to do that tonight. We were home, and I knew we were safe.

I heard a small huff, and I turned to see Preyna’s light-brown eyes staring at me from across the fire.

When my eyes caught hers, she quickly looked down, and I saw her cheeks flush. I smiled to myself and then turned back toward the sky. It seemed the golden-haired sorceress was a little bit jealous, and the thought of that nearly made me laugh out loud.

Preyna was absolutely stunning, and she could have absolutely anybody she wanted. She could even have me, if she chose to.

I knew it wasn’t black-and-white, but still, I couldn’t imagine her needing to be jealous, ever. She was more than capable of obtaining any man she wanted, myself included.

There had
