Dagger just rolls his eyes at her comment about giving them a heart attack. While they were settling down in the cave, he goes and gets some fire wood. He comes back into the cave and begins to make a fire. Once the fire was made and Lina and Kimmy had gotten food. He sits down next to Stella. He then caught himself leaning against her, but he didn't care, he just wanted to be close to his mate. When he eventually falls asleep, he pulls Stella close to him, so close to where she was practically on top of him. The next morning arrives and they were soon off hiking again, they had hiked for several hours and the temple soon came into view. When they enter the temple they are greeted by some monks. But they begin to whisper when they had seen that Dagger had his arm around Stella's waist. They were also rasing their eye brows at her and the looks on their faces looked like they were saying What have you done? They soon go inside to meet the elder monk. "Good, I see that you have made it back safely." He says. He too gives Stella a weird look when he sees that Dagger had his arm around Stella. He then orders some monks to take Lina and Kimmy to thier corders. Then he looks at Stella and Dagger, "So is the evil vanquished?" he asks. Dagger nods, "Yeah, I killed him and no he ain't comin' back, not after what I did to'em." he says. The elder monk nods and then looks directly at Dagger. "So have you made your choice?" he asks. Dagger nods, "You're gonna think I'm crazy...but I'm gonna stay here..." he says. The monk nods, "Good, both of you may leave." he says. Dagger nods and turns to leave, knowing that Stella will follow him.
