"Get in the pool. Mend yourself. I will stand watch," Wei spoke. But Roggi was like a stone. He didn’t appear to have heard. His eyes were like beads of dull red, their shade hard to separate from his many seeping wounds. Finally, he nodded.

"Aye," Roggi said, frowning at his missing arm. The entire limb had been ripped free at the shoulder. Wei was curious why he hadn’t been in a hurry to tie off the wound somehow, and his curiosity only grew when he realized the dismembered limb had become a scabbed stump.

Wei was Sourceforged, but it seemed the Oathbearer possessed immense healing abilities of his own. The young master eyed his banner. Or perhaps the artifact was more potent than he thought. Considering how freely Agnesia’s armpit bled, he thought it more likely to be the former.

Deviating from the girl’s example, the Oathbearer shed his armor before entering the waters. Circuits of light lit along the back of his plating, and blasts of heated air erupted from the gaps with a hiss. The protective shell encasing him unfurled, falling to the ground with a rumble.

The young master took a few steps back, trying to catch a glimpse of Roggi’s true form. The Oathbearer’s unarmored form was only three-fourths as large as it was in the armor, but he still towered over Wei regardless. However, the dimensions of Roggi’s body were just strange to behold. A barrel-wide torso supported by unnaturally short legs. A translucent body suit also coated the Oathbearer’s form, wrapping him in a sort of protective gel. It was all rather strange to Wei, and as his gaze continued going down, he felt his eyes widen as he found a very essential organ missing.

Roggi met Wei’s concerned stare and chuckled humorlessly. "What? Did I lose something else?"

The young master gestured toward his privates awkwardly. "I… perhaps?"

The Oathbearer’s head whipped down and then back up as a look of pure horror curled across his face.

Deep pity welled inside Wei. It was an ugly thing, for one to lose the fruits that seeded—

Roggi’s expression broke and he burst into uproarious laughter. Then he drove a set of massive, hairy knuckles into Wei’s shoulder. "Can’t lose what you don’t have, Wei."

Shaking his head, he stomped over toward the spring, rolling his shoulders to loosen the tension. A dull moan came from Ellena as her head rose. Her daughter was cradling her face, keeping her from sliding beneath the water. Both of them seemed entirely healed now, and the waters of the spring were also cleaning their attire as well, scrubbing away stains and splotches as if animated by a higher will.

Wei stared upward. Mepheleon. How eccentric could one higher being get?

"Alright," Roggi grunted. "Make some room."

Agnesia nodded without looking. "The temperature is perfect." Finally, she turned. This proved to be a mistake. Her face went blank for a moment as Roggi’s squat, hairy form lumbered toward her. Her eyes traveled the same path Wei’s did, starting from his head and settling just below his waist.
