Arkain sighs a bit feeling the release of positive energy from her cane. Arkain nods listening to Wendy still watching Gold carefully. Arkain laughs. "Wendy any form that kicks ass is going to be very helpful. You are right, if that Succubus is an example of the power we are going to be going up against, we are going to really need everyone at their top form."<br/><br/>He moves close to Gold's head and kneels down and rubs his head and neck gently. He can see in Gold's eyes his friend is back. He smiles  back. "I am just glad you were able to contain the dark energy again." He chuckles. "Troublesome is an understatement after feeling it use its power on me." Arkain continues to rub his neck. He can feel his body is indeed weak and in rough shape.<br/><br/>Arkain nods listening to Gold thinking hard about what can be done. "Hummmm, and time is the one luxury we do not have." He pushes back on Gold when he tries to get up. "Relax save your energy Gold. We know it wasn't your fault. It was the Succubus that did this to you." He nods. "OOhh yea, shes going to pay. But your right Wendy, we need a plan. First, how to get your energy back quickly Gold so we can save Crystal. We will need you at full strength if we are going to have any chance.."<br/><br/>He looking at Wendy and laughs. "I would NOT want to be that plumber if you ever got a hold of him that's for sure." Then he suddenly stops. "Eat him? Of course." He rolls his eyes and gives his head a smack with his hand and shakes his head. "What an idiot." He jumps up and gives Wendy a big hug. "Wendy, you are the greatest." He steps back. "I can't believe I didn't think of this earlier. I guess my mind has been a bit messed up to. I know how to restore your power and heal you and at the same time give myself a much needed energy boost. I need to eat you Gold. I know. I know. Its a crazy idea but my healing power is at its strongest when I reform someone. When you come back Gold, you will be at full strength and fully healed. The best part is I only need a short period of time to do this." He drops down on a knee and rubs Golds neck again. "You know  you can trust me, my friend. All I need from you is your permission to do this and Wendy, I need you to have enough faith in me to allow me to do this. OK?"  HE looks at both of you with a confident smile.
