Oliver returned.
-Here are the maps and recordings.
-Let's watch the recordings first and then we'll mark the places on the map. And then what?
He bit his finger.
-And then...we'll send drones to examine the place. Or we'll go. But that's the more dangerous option.
-Okay.
She doubtfully answered.
Oliver sat next to Serly. He turned on the recording.
-Now we're going to watch until we find something that's in one of the pictures? Can't we brew a location revealing potion and put the pictures in it, then mark their locations on the map.
Serly suggested.
-Or we can use an already made one.
He turned to her.
-Yeah.
-I'll go and order one from...ahem... Asher, of course, if he lends it. Hope he won't ask for money.
Oliver stood up.
-And tell him to hurry up.
He went.
Serly was watching the recording. The drone's going slowly. Another drone appeared, but this one doesn't have the signs on it. It's an enemy. The drone hid in the trees. The enemy passed.
Serly thought.
-If there are drones here, then there must be a computer lab near.
The drone came out of it's hiding spot. It turned around and continued. Rustling leaves was heard. A loud growl and then a howling.
She furrowed her eyebrows.
-That was an interesting howl...
She took the ipad and tried to find out which animal howls that way, because it was suspicious.
The ipad received the sound, loaded for a long time, and finally revealed the result.
She looked at it surprised.
-Sorry, but what? What do you mean...by 100% werewolf?
She talked to the ipad, or more correctly, to herself.
Oliver returned. He was irritated.
Serly stood up.
-What is it?
Oliver huffed.
-Asher won't send the potion. Like I said.
Serly put on an annoyed face.
-I'm not surprised.
Oliver groaned.
-If only he wasn't the organizer of the evil-hunter's department.
-He won't be after this...
Serly kept her frustrated face.
-But we need the potion! What are we going to do now?
Oliver was getting angrier at the thought.
-Did he just say no for no reason?
-He asked why we needed it, then I told him we need it so we can find out the locations of some pictures we found, then he said no, it's your job to find out that, not the potion's. Then he stopped the call. We need a different way to get it. Maybe even unlawfully. If someone finds out, they're obviously going to ask why we didn't want one from Felix, so upon explaining our reason, they'll understand that Asher is the problem.
-Tell Albert to give us.
Oliver nodded hesitantly.
-But that's not unlawful. Albert won't get into trouble. I mean, it's not that I want, but if it does, it's more good for us than bad for him.
She shook her head.
-No, no he won't, but Felix still will. We've got an explanation. If you want, you can tell Carter first, so he understands Felix is not doing his job.
He looked at her seriously.
-Y-yeah, that's the better option. No need to be unlawful , then. I'll tell Carter.
Oliver left once again.
Serly looked at him from behind and felt something. She tiredly sat down. There was a greatly felt pressure on her head. Not mentally, but physically. She shut her eyes. The pressure was getting stronger. What could that be?
The pain was growing. She began trembling.
He returned.
-Carter said he'll talk to Felix. He'll obviously agree, right? Because he'll get fired if he doesn't, and he doesn-
Realizing her passiveness, his face formed a worried expression and he sat down next to her.
Serly was quiet. She drowned her face in her hands and stayed like that.
-A-Are you...fine?
She was still in the same position.
-Serly? What's happening?
He removed her hands from her face. Holding her hand and turning her face to him, he felt her icy hands lose their skills and talents. Her head would fall if he let go of it.
He was shocked. After checking her pulse, it was clear that it's there.
-What the- SELENA?!
Before she would come, he gently slid one arm behind her back and the other under her knees, lifting her with care. As he held her close to his chest, he couldn't help but notice how perfectly she seemed to fit there. Her head nestled against his broad shoulder as if made to rest there. 
He found his eyes wandering to her delicate features. Her lips, laid tranquil as rose petals. Her eyes, which had the blessing of communication, the blessing of expression, now remained speechless. Her long raven hair tied in a low ponytail rested on the side of her shoulder. Her liquid state revealed melancholy and pain, exposing her vulnerabilities.
He couldn't help but be drawn to the mysterious woman that now laid serene in his strong arms.
Moments later Selena came and got stunned.
-WHAT THE BLOODY HELL HAPPENED?
His eyes exported anxiety.
-She fainted. How and why, I've got no idea.
Selena scoffed.
-OH, SO SHE JUST FAINTED? EMILY! CALL EVE OR LISA, RIGHT NOW!
From the tent, Emily called for medical help, and Selena turned to Oliver.
-Take her to her tent. Did you check her pulse?
He nodded.
-She's alive, but...I don't know what happened she just fainted right in my hands!
They stormed off to her tent.
He carefully laid her on her bed and sat down on a chair next to the bed. His hand couldn't resist the urge to caress her face.
Emily and Elisabeth ran in.
