"Shut up Rex! You really are not helping in this situation,” I said with a snort of exasperation.'Ares, we won't be able to get out. They surround this place,' said Rex whining at me and it pissed me off a lot. I kicked something on the sandy floor and the gravel scattered.'What are you doing? You can destroy all these totems!’ Rex shouted in my head."Shut up!" I exclaimed in frustration.Rex fell silent and I noticed that he started to cry. I sighed and sat down on the sandy floor in the room.'I just want to find my father,' he said in my head.I felt my temples throb as I heard hissmall voice. My heart ached, as if to feel how it hurts. I massaged my temples while listening to his cries. At first I thought that I felt pain in Rex's heart, but a second later I realized that my heart also felt pain. What Rex felt made me also remember what happened in my childhood. I thought the pain had disappeared, but it didn't. My parents just disappeared, even though they promised to spend Ch
"I think I can do this," I said to convince myself.Rex didn't comment. From his thoughts, I could tell that he just wanted me to act quickly. He was so nervous he didn't know what to do other than shut up and let me do my thing. This kid finally shut up and I can control my own head in peace.I'm starting to see all these complicated sets of totem codes. These letters would not be recognized if I were myself, but because I am in Rex's body and the knowledge of the totem world is flowing in my brain, I can recognize them. Some of the letters and codes Rex didn't recognize, maybe because these totem codes were very ancient designs.After observing for a few minutes, I was able to locate where the damage was. There are codes that are missing in some parts. I immediately approached one of the missing parts. My eyes widened and seemed to glow as I tried to analyze the damaged part. My hands quickly moved. Without realizing it, a beam of light came out of my palm and after that, I was able
I couldn't see what was going on outside and that frustrated me a bit. I didn't recognize the voice of the person who had shouted earlier. It was definitely not the High Priest's voice. The man's voice seemed new to me. I was very curious about what was happening out there because I heard flabbergasted voices from outside."Let him go!" exclaimed the High Priest then.I widened my eyes at those words. They will let me go? Why? I was really curious, but I was really frustrated because I couldn't move or speak at all due to the petrification spell.However, a few moments later I felt them put my crate on the ground, then the ropes were opened. I gulped when they actually opened the lid of the coffin. Am I dreaming?'They let us go,' Rex said. It seemed he also could hardly believe what was happening.However, as soon as the coffin lid was opened, I saw a green light that was so bright. My heart is pounding. Is it possible?Several apprentices then took me out of the chest and that's whe
Everyone was cheering and of course I was hailed as a hero but there were faces that didn't like it. I was about to say something, but suddenly my words were blown away. Of course, I didn't rest all night and my strength was wasted on repairing the totem codes, how could I still stand tall after all that? After all, Rex Hito's body was only that of a ten year old child.I tried to stay upright, but my legs felt very weak and my vision started to blur. My hands flailed around, trying to find a hold, but my head started spinning and my ears were ringing. I lost consciousness right after. This must be so embarrassing. I just wish I fell in a graceful position, even if that's impossible.I don't know what happened next, but I want to lie like this in silence for a long time because I'm so tired. It feels like every time I open my eyes, I have a problem to deal with and it's so annoying. However, it felt like I was only momentarily unconscious, I suddenly came back to consciousness, becaus
I took a deep breath and before I got up, I immediately contacted Rex first. If anything was possible, Rex would probably know something. However, before I said it, it seemed she could already read it through my mind.‘It seems this has something to do with the other leaders. The Grand Healer Flaming Totem is the main totem for the Healer party. They will be much stronger than before. I think we put an imbalance between them,' said Rex.I was about to say something but Rex seemed to stop me immediately.'Don't say anything. I'm afraid someone might be listening. We have no choice but to go to the party now. You have to replenish our energy,” said Rex.I immediately stood up, forcing my body which was still very weak, and my head a little dizzy to walk towards the middle of the camp, where everyone must be gathered. From afar, I already smell the aroma of food. I'm getting used to the smell of beast meat and it makes me feel hungry. My stomach needs to be filled and that makes me quick
The person supported my body and helped me walk. I'm completely unconscious now, but I know my feet are still going. I can feel it when that person lays my body on a bed. I think he's a good guy because maybe he brought me back to my camp.Rex is still trying to communicate with me, but I don't know why suddenly I can't hear his voice at all. He seemed to drown and I fell into a deep sleep, forgetting everything that had happened. It felt like all the aches and pains in my body just magically disappeared and I really enjoyed my deep sleep.As if there was a natural alarm within my body, I awoke just at the crack of dawn. I know dawn must be breaking, but it's so hard to keep my eyes open. A second later I realized that I really can't open my eyelids! I couldn't move my body and couldn't even feel it all. I feel like I'm numb or maybe I'm paralyzed!Soon the training for the apprentices would start and I would have to get up, but I couldn't do it."Rex Hito! Wake up!” exclaimed someone
"Hey! Raise your sword!” exclaimed a priest who suddenly appeared behind Rex.Rex was shocked to the point of almost aghast and I felt the same way. It turned out that the priests were watching from the back of the line as well. Rex was at the very back and now all eyes were on us.“I-I…” Rex stuttered."Come on, raise your sword!" cried the priest once more.I immediately racked my brains to help Rex. If he didn't raise his sword, things could end badly.“Raise your sword, Rex,” I said in a half whisper, even though I knew no one would hear me now except Rex."Rex Hito, draw your sword now!" cried the priest while walking closer.I panicked even more because Rex didn't even draw his sword. Everyone started whispering under their breath, speculating. They could have thought Rex was arrogant after successfully repairing the Grand Healer Flaming Totem and that was not a good thing."Lets do it! Don't think you can go against the priests' orders because you've already managed to refine t
"If someone really wanted to kill you, they would do it again," I said.Rex already knew that. He just took a deep breath at that.“You know who probably planned all of this?” I asked.“Maybe Rais Musi and his minions. I only know those who hate me,” Rex whispered.I also thought maybe they were the one. Who else besides them? However, considering that Rex's father was considered a traitor, it is possible that some of them hate Rex. Whoever it is, we have to be really vigilant before that person tries to kill us again.“When do you think they will try again?” Rex asked finally.“I guess every chance I get,” I replied."Then we should switch back," Rex said."How to?" I asked.We were both silent, because neither of us knew how to switch back. I tried to think about it, but I have absolutely no idea how."Think of the Golden Tree," Rex told me.I'm starting to worry if anyone listens to her words. However, he said it in a low voice and whispered, so I thought everything would be fine.
