Danny took Kaldur to a guest as soon as he arrived and gently laid him on the bed keeping the area cool, just hoping he wasn’t doing more harm than good. It wasn’t very long before he heard the heavy footsteps of his friend.
“Greetings my king, I came as soon as I was able, are you well?” Frostbite said with a worried expression. As Frostbite enters the room fully he notices the figure on the bed “And who might this be?”
Danny gave a sheepish look to his large friend rubbing his neck “Honestly, I’m not sure. I… I went exploring through a natural portal and found him in the desert… he’s Atlantean, I’m not sure how long he was there before I arrived but I’ve been trying to keep him cooled down. I’m not really sure what to do, I haven’t had a problem with the heat in some time.” He replied nervously.
Frostbite looked at his King and smiled before turning to his patient “You’re doing just fine, in fact it would be best if you brought the temperature down a bit more, normally I would suggest submerging him in ice water but the damage to his Gils worries me. We can put a wet cloth on them to hopefully combat any dryness or possible damage.” Frostbite the turns to Danny with a soft smile “It’s been some time since you entered the human realm…” Danny stopped him “And it won’t be happening again anytime soon” Danny stated looking away “I shouldn’t have gone in the first place, the human realm made it clear what it thinks of me”
Frostbite sighs “I understand your reason, but you know I remember a few humans that bravely entered my domain in search of adventure, so I can’t say I agree.” He replied giving Danny a look. Danny smiles back “That was a long time ago”
Frostbite laughed “Not so long for this old man! Shall I have one of my healers take over here while you get some rest?”
Danny thinks for a moment before shaking his head softly “No offense big guy but your clan may be full of giant teddy bears but they are teddy bears with very sharp teeth. It’s probably for the best we don’t scare him when he wakes up.”
The paths diverge once more splitting into new branches
“I’ll stay with him for now, when he wakes I’ll have one of guards escort him to an Atlantean portal. They should be able to provide him with any extra care he might need” he says as he pulls up a chair “Would you mind asking Jester to bring me the books from my nightstand. Not sure how long I’ll be here might as well get some studying done before my meeting with the Thanagarions, the last thing I need is another misunderstanding about courting. One more stalker and I swear I’m going to scream!” He groans “and get this it’s not just one meeting I have to deal with oh no apparently the Thanagarion belief system has not 1, not 2, but 12 afterlife divisions, all with different leaders. Thank the ancients Ghost Writer had some books on them or I would be screwed!”
Frostbite gave a chuckle “Oh yes, I am well acquainted with the Seven Brothers and Seven Sisters and I agree you have your work cut out for you.” Frostbite turned to leave but stopped before opening the door “A bit of advice before I leave don’t let the actions of fools forge your path it will only end in ruin. We are all proud of the man you have become and so are they, there is no other ghost I would call my king” and with that he left. Soon after Jester brought his books and Danny settled in a large chair to study, waiting for his guest to wake.
