Hours later.....

'We've been walking for hours so can we please take a break!' Merlin whines.

'yeah, I'm a little tired too guys.' Claire says in a stretched out yawn.

they all decided to stop and camp for the night.

with an exhausted look on her face, Claire walks towards the campfire that Nomura and a few of the others set up.

'You okay? Jim asks in concern.

'Yeah Just a little worn out.' she murmurs as she leans against his arm.

Jim smiles at her as her eyes flutter closed but his smile soon fades away as he realises that everyone sitting around the campfire was staring at them and whispering gossip. He immediately starts to blush and could feel his face boiling up.

'How cute' Blinky says in a soft and gentle tone.

'I was thinking more along the lines of HOW GROSS!' Notenrique said with a snarl spreading across his face.

Blinky rolled all six of his eyes as a response to his childishness and the two of them went to join the campfire while attempting to help Jim out of his predicament.

Meanwhile, Merlin was conjuring a strange looking potion that he made using ingredients that he had found in the forest and some of his magic too. The potion was a dark Royal Blue and it was glowing with magical energy.
