After about twenty minutes of laying there, the man that had been burned was healed nearly completely by his Ioun Stone. He got up, much to the amazement of the crowd gathered around him, and took Nightblade from her hovering position in the air to sheath her once again.
The on-lookers cheered and applauded. They had a new hero in town! The mother of the young girl came up to him and bowed at his feet and began crying her thanks. The little girl was there, too...up on the shoulders of her weeping uncle. Larry waved at the crowd and turned to walk away. He had to find out about those three robed men. They seemed to know something about today's activities. Yet...where should he look?
Suddenly, a tug was felt at is side. He looked around to see the little girl again, more tears streaming down a half-washed face. Not saying anything, she was holding out an object for Larry to take. It was the fire resistance ring. Smiling at the little girl, he asked her..."What is your name, little one?" "Jessica Starfire" she replied.
"Well Miss Jessica, I would like for you to keep that ring. It will help you remember me when I am gone. Will you keep it for me?""Yes Sir! Thanks!" the little girl merrily said.
With that done, Larry turned back onto his path to finding answers to today's events.
