248 Checkmate

Everything hurt. Sael was limping as he made his way back into his bedroom. There was a moment of relief when he found it empty, he felt embarrassed for anyone to see him as he was now.  Falling face first into his bed he moaned. Beth would have made some comments about his early days he was sure. Lele had proven to be a great sparring partner. It also made him realize just how powerful the people he had for allies really were. She mopped the floor with him for over an hour before his stats increased enough for him to even put up any real resistance.  Lunch had come and gone, taking a break to rest and recharge.  Then back at it. Still, his progress in one day was worth weeks of fighting Antgers, maybe even more than that.
