As I slowly opened my eyes and regained my senses, I found myself wondering where I was and what had happened. My thoughts immediately turned to the skeleton mage that had been attacking me. Despite my attempts to purify it with my spells, it had remained resiliently alive. But now, as I sat up, I realized that the skeleton mage was nowhere to be seen.

Then, I heard a familiar sound - the cheerful cry of my loyal companion, Blue. I looked around and saw Blue perched nearby, looking proud and happy. I asked Blue if it had killed the skeleton mage, and Blue responded with an enthusiastic “pyuu!!” - a clear affirmation.
