Perspective: Conrad GarnierI don't know what the hell was happening to me, that night every mundane thing looked exceptionally "extraordinary".Ever since Regina fed me,Nope, that wasn't it, Maybe my fatigue was getting worse, my hands and legs were sore.Yeah, That's it.So, after telling Emilia "Good Night" I decided to go to sleep. I silently walked towards my carriage, Then out of nowhere Thor Gild stopped me, by extending his arm in front of me.With an annoyed expression I asked,"What do you want?".He replied with a gentle voice,"Look can we talk?".I didn't want to ,But still I decided to listen,get it over with.He said,"I didn't knew that I would ever say this to you .... but I am saying this anyway .... thank you".I was confused, so, I asked"What .... what did I do?".He replied,"Look man I know you helped me ... If you hadn't shown Patrick where I was .... I would have been dead from all those wounds .... due to my stubborn ascetic pride".As soon as I heard t
Perspective: Thor Gild........................................ Past ........................................................................."I am a member of the Ascetic clan", from childhood I was taught to live in the ways of the Ascetic. Our clan believed that the way of asceticism lied in rejecting ease and always opting for the difficult path. We lived in the mountains near Summerwe Volcano range , we distanced ourselves from comfort and convenience there. Although our aim was to develop strength, we firmly held the belief that resorting to violence should be the last option. This belief was even more strengthened by our refusal to embrace convenience, as violence is seen as an easy solution that we consciously avoided choosing.Our way was to deny convenience and worldly desires, to offer ourselves to the guidance of Arngrim, "the god of Slaughter".One of his teachings in our clan was to emphasize the idea of not healing wounds immediately. The belief was that on enduring p
Perspective : Thor Gild.................................. Past .....................................................After that day soon they became the talk of the town. Those two were the first two adventurers to reach S - Rank in two weeks.While I was still an A - Rank adventurer. Then it was only a matter of days, untill Elkdrack Introduced me to them. Patrick was gone for more than a month now, our adventuring activities were halted because of him, we were a party of three, and him missing had put a cudgel in our activities.So, when Elkdrack introduced me to those two, I saw a new side of Conrad, he had a warm welcoming vibe emanating, from him. It seemed that, they were forming a new party, and he wanted me on it.He came up to me, extended his hand and said, "Your friend here says you are exceptional with your sword and blunt weapons .... and since I have fought you, I can second his opinion"."We would be honoured If you joined our party".The look on his face was so diffe
Perspective : Regina ClementI wondered why he left?Did he not like the way I fed him?"I am hopeless,.... aren't I ?". "I know this relationship cannot go anywhere.... but yet, I still keep try'in, burden him?".As I washed my hands, Thor Gild came limping towards me, he was breathing heavily, as if he had ran towards me in a hurry, with his eyes wide opened as if he were to see a ghost.While panting, in a shuttering voice he said,"Conrad.... Conrad, he is ... acting strange".i asked,"What do you mean by strange?".As he replied, I found that my deepest fears had resurfaced."He has this hollow intense look on his face, he is crying tears but yet he is smiling , and he keeps shouting like a mad man"."I don't know, what is happening.... but If it's my fault, I am deeply sorry"."Please go to him and help him .... I beg of you".He said that while bowing to me.As soon as I heard that, I went running towards Conrad.I knew what he meant?And yet I had to check that for myself?W
Perspective: Conrad Garnier"Here's your tea .... hold it still .... "."It's hot".Regina handed me a cup of hot tea, good for this freezing weather.I thanked her.As I took a sip, a comforting warmth spread through my body, thawing away the chill. Simultaneously, I noticed a pleasant tingling sensation in my throat, reminding me of its previous soreness. Surprisingly, it felt rather soothing and enjoyable.We had been traveling since yesterday in this frigid weather, no wonder my throat was sore.I asked Yuna,"Do you want to have a cup of tea?".She replied,"No .... I don't drink tea".Who doesn't drink tea? Then she took out a bottle of wine, took a sip.And said,"This is all I need".I had a question,So I asked her,"Isn't that cold?".She replied,"It is".That some dedication to alcohol.As she took another cold sip from that bottle, I could sense her shivering.Out of concern, I said."Stop that ... or you will catch frostbite".With a playful gaze in her eyes and a cheeky
Perspective: Regina Clement.In that nick of time, just as the wolf leapt towards my neck, my heart pounded like crazy, I knew I was done for,However,an unexpected shard of ice materialized, swiftly impaling its head, killing that wolf and saving me.I knew It wasn't mine, but who was it?Then with a familiar voice, she spoke,"Now you owe me one".Yuna spoke.Conrad, terrified of what might have happened to me, Immediately asked me,"Regina .... You all right".Without letting him worry much I quickly responded,"Barely"."This old hag here saved me".Why did I say that?, she saved my life and yet I couldn't stand her, I had to say that.Naturally, Yuna retaliated,"Hey.... who are you calling a old hag?".For some reason I always acted like that to her, rude and insensitive even though she saved my life, I couldn't stand her.She always clings to him, I know she can't steal him from me, she can't steal something I don't have, but still.I know he doesn't mind it, so let me have hi
Perspective : Regina Clement"Ron .... Ron ...".Sheela cried as her little brother was snatched by that creature, that thing,Kyle shocked and confused exclaimed,"What the hell is that?".Emilia recognising the thing vaguely answered,"It's a huge bug catcher".Keira unable to grasp what she meant asked,"What's a bug catcher?".Emilia responded,"It's a plant that eat ....".Emilia's words were cut short as Thor Gild intervened, he was quick and on point ,"We don't have time for that hurry before he gets eaten".It was all so sudden, I couldn't even grasp what had just aspired, But for Sheela her whole world flipped upside down in a matter of seconds, I couldn't even imagine what she was going through, So without spilling a single word, I complied and we all rushed towards Ron, our wands on the ready, and as expected those peculiar roots sprouted from the ground, those living ropes attempting to ensnare us,As we were already prepared, and moreover I was prepared, so without wastin
Perspective : Conrad GarnierSearching for a way to save Ron, Kyle asked,"Are you sure ... will any healing potion work?".Patrick replied with the truth,"No ... the severity is way beyond healing ... his skin needs to be repaired"."It cannot be healed "."that burnt has altered the primary composition of his skin ... It won't go back to normal".Sheela in a desperate attempt to save her brother begged Patrick,"Please save him .... I will do anything... he is the only family I have left ".She grovelled before him, and yet Patrick couldn't do anything to save her brother.It was shameful, his 1 job was to heal us, and he couldn't even do that, just disappointing.What If I or Regina ever got hurt, with that phony acting as a healer, could he heal us, I questioned myself.It was unacceptable.Kyle remained silent with how incompetent he was as a leader,No one was making any decision, we needed to keep moving, staying in the same position possessed the risk of being ambushed once ag
