Raiden was sweating bullets while holding on to his phone as he prayed to all the gods above and below for his safety. What he was about to do next was dangerous, much more dangerous than any life-threatening events he had faced in the jungle.
If it were possible, he would have much preferred going back into the jungle and facing that black dragon than facing what was going to be faced next in the upcoming call.
"It's fine, Raiden, it's fine. You were in a genuine mortal peril. Surely she would understand that, right? She is your girlfriend, not a bogeyman or something. You don't need to fear her. Be more positive, be more brave, be the man of the relationship. Tell her exactly what happened. She will forgive you. Let's do this."
He took a deep breath before quickly typing in the new number he had already memorised by heart on the phone and pressing call.
