Finally, Tiberius made it back to his colony. There was a large cave that Jackie might never have seen, and it appeared empty at first. ...Until they went inside.

"What? Master Tiberius... You're alive?" Suddenly, a couple of Almiraj appeared to greet Tiberius.
"Wait! Who is that in your arms!?" the other one cried.
"She's an outsider! She cannot be here!" the first one shouted.

Tiberius managed o lose the Draco-Avias on the way to his cave, but Pigzors and Pete managed to keep up. Jackie groaned. "Man I've got a head ache...."She said, holding her hand to her head. She glanced down at the Almiraj that had gathered around her and Tiberius. "Why can't I be here?"Jackie asked weakly.

"We don't trust outsiders here," the second one said.
"Nothing personal, but you have to leave," the first one replied.

Tiberius gave off a really nasty look at the two. It didn't look like they wanted anything to do with an angry Greatbeast at that moment. Eventually, Tiberius set Jackie down on a bench near a strange crystal in the wall. Tiberius touched the crystal and started to shrink. Soon, he looked just like the Almiraj at the entrance: tall yet scrawny and somewhat meek looking. ...Also cute, but in a different way. Tiberius was cute in the fact that he was so ugly and dopey looking it made him cute, but now he's just plain cute.

"Ah, that's better," he said. "Now I can finally say the things I've wanted to say. And I'm sorry for bringing her in here, but she was banished from her home after freeing me from her people, and now she's hurt. I can't just turn down someone who needs help."

"Pfft, your father was right about you," the second Almiraj replied.

"I AM NOTHING LIKE MY FATHER!!!" Tiberius roared. "And I never want to be like him! ...Jackie, are you awake?"

Jackie groaned, giving a thumbs up. "Yeah"She said weakly. "Th-that spear had some kind of poison on it."Jackie said.

"Hmmm, we don't have much at our disposal," Tiberius said. Tiberius took the spear out of her arm before beginning to try and help her. "Hey! Get some bandages quick!" Tiberius yelled at one of the guards. As the guard was getting the bandages, Tiberius started to suck on the wound.

"What are you doing?"Jackie asked.

Tiberius took his mouth away and spit on the ground. "I'm sucking the poison out," he said.

"I don't think that actually works."Jackie said.

"We're not a medical community," Tiberius said after spitting out more blood. "We are just doing what we can with the tools we have. Besides, it usually works better than you'd think. It... uhhh... woah, I don't feel too good." Tiberius started. ...Maybe it really didn't work. "Are there any... home remedies you can think of that grow around here?"

"There should still be some poison on the spear. I learned in school that we can make an anti poison using the poison on the spear, some kind of glowing mushroom."Jackie explained.

"Mushroom, glowing mushroom?" Tiberius asked. "What does the mushroom look like?"

"It looks like a mushroom."Jackie said. "It glows purple"Jackie said.

"Duh, I know where one grows," Tiberius blurted out. "You! Remaining guard! Look by the slight clearing with the large leaning rock! There should be mushrooms there!"

Eventually the other guard was gone and the first one came back with the bandages. Tiberius gave his next command.

"Now take that spear and wait for the other guard to come back," Tiberius ordered before looking at Jackie. "Okay, then what do I do with the poison and the mushroom?"

"Okay, you're gonna need to get as much poison off the..... the spear as you can, then m-mash the mushrooms with some water and mix.... them together."Jackie said weakly. The anti-toxin would have to be made quick. Jackie's skin was already starting to turn pale.

"Right, so extract the poison," Tiberius told the Almiraj guard. "Now, I'll go get the water."

Eventually all the ingredients were gathered and Tiberius was preparing the remedy. After making the remedy, he applied it to Jackie and then sealed her wound with the bandages. "Did I do it right?" he asked.

"I dunno. I just know what goes into it."Jackie said. "I mean, if we got all the ingredients mixed together I guess we did it right?"Jackie said.

"Then I guess all we can do is wait," Tiberius said.

"Remember, once she's healed, she must leave," the guards said.

"I DECIDE WHETHER SHE GOES OR NOT!!!" Tiberius roared.

"I'm gonna try and get some rest."Jackie said. "Is there someplace I could sleep?"Jackie asked.

"Why don't you use my bed for the night," Tiberius said as he picked Jackie up and took her down a tunnel in the cave. Eventually he came to a small room with a pail of water, a large hole and a cot for sleeping in. Although the Almiraj seemed to be intelligent, they lived... very simple lives. "We prefer to branch off from heavy industry and architect and would rather live with nature instead of against it, so please forgive the primitiveness of our lifestyle."

Oop: Just so you know, I'm gonna be updating Jackie's profile soon. I've worked on fleshing her race out some more, and I'm not going to call her an Elf anymore, but a Jutik

"It's cool. My Grandma lives in a village that's similar."Jackie said as she was set on the bed. It wasn't long before she had fallen asleep. Pigzors soon entered the room, with Pete sitting on his back, before curling up next to the bed.
