A few moments later there arrived a young priestess, a vision of lovliness in her understated green silken frock, fine locks of deep green hair flowing down her back, wielding a dainty staff that looked like it had seen more than it's share of hardship. "Take my hand." said the priestess in a soft voice. The warrior eagerly accepted the priestess' hand. The priestess felt the warrior trembling. "We'll be fine." she said calmly and gripped Ivy's hand firmly. Together they walked inside, the priestess wrapping the warrior with spells to protect her from harm. IvyDivine lead the way through the feild taking the brunt of the goblins wrath yet she never felt the sting of thier clubs and hatchets. The priestess, calm and steady, applied her healing power to the warriors broken body.

Ivy shouted "My things are over here! I see them." The preistess said not a word, but simply held onto the warriors hand and kept her wrapped in safety. The warrior, breathless and terrified saw a huge goblin charging after the lovely priestess. She shrieked "Look out!", but the priestess never waivered. She simply sang the beast to sleep and continued on. They reached the pile of cast off items and the warrior quickly gathered them. The priestess then said"Let us finish this battle." The warrior nodded her head and nervosuly began fighting against the mobs. With the aid of the priestess' skillful hand there were none left standing after a few moments. Amazed, the warrior stood motionless and gazed at the empty feild. The priestess then instructed the weary warrior to claim her prize with Dealos. "You are after all victorious." she said with a smile. The priestess sang a song of Abel and was whisked away to Fiosachd's door.

Ivy rushed out to Dealos, he acknowldged her acheivement and handed her a brand new helmet. Beaming with pride, yet still shaking, she thanked him briefly, tucked her helmet in her pack and hurried off to find the priestess. Once in the familiar safety of Abel she looked about for the priestess. She saw her walking calmly across the grass. The greatful warrior rushed to her and cried "Thank you so much!". The priestess paused and turned to her."It was nothing." she quietly replied. "Oh but it was! You left a hunt to help me and I hardly even know you...How can I ever repay you?" said Ivy."If you really want to thank me" she said with a kind smile,"be kind to others and help them when they need you, no matter what you may be doing. The hunt is fun and rewarding, quests are satisfying to complete, social life is entertaining, but helping someone without thought of recognition or reward, that is something truly couragous." Ivy smiled and promised to help whenever she could. As the priestess walked away to go back to her hunt, the warrior realized, true courage doesn't always come from battles or achievements, sometimes it comes from acts of kindness, from taking time to lend a helping hand, walking selflessly into the face of danger so that someone else may be safe. *Turn Page*
