I was silent in the darkness of the room, my eyes closed tightly. Controlling my breath, I focused on the bright spot that was starting to shine in the darkness of my head. The strength I had just discovered radiated from within me. The light was so strong, but its warmth enveloped me with tenderness.Slowly, I began to feel myself being lifted from my bed. I am no longer bound by the physical limits of my body. It was a freedom I had never felt before. My body, now just a shadow, looked peaceful lying on the bed.Determined, I decided to visit Rex's dream. He, my best friend who had been beside me from the start, had to know about the danger that threatened Nola. By diverting their attention, I hoped to give them a chance to prepare themselves.However, when I entered dreamland, I saw them, sitting three of them. Mora, Nola, and Rex. The three of them hadn't fallen asleep at all.Rex and Nola were sitting in the living room, their heads buried in maps and old books containing ancient
I watched the horrific incident with wide eyes, my heart almost stopped. Suddenly, from a distance, something radiated quickly towards Nola. I tried to prevent it, but my power in the spirit world had no effect in the real world. The object, like a thin needle, shot out at frightening speed and hit Nola in the back.Nola staggered for a moment, before her body collapsed without a sound. That second felt like an eternity. I wish I could scream, call for help, but in this spirit world, my voice will never reach.The strength inside me exploded. Although no one could hear my screams, the energy of my spirit raised a terrible wind that tore around me. Dust and leaves fly with the wind forming a violent vortex.The noisy sound called out to the camp residents. They rushed out of their camps, shocked and dismayed at this unexpected event. They screamed for help, trying to understand what was happening.However, amidst the commotion and confusion, I sat beside Nola's helpless body, filled wi
For a moment, I saw Nola as if she could see me. Her eyes were wide open, and she clearly recognized my presence. A tear rolled out of her eyelid, reflecting the magic behind our meeting.“Nola!” I exclaimed hopefully.At a glance, I could see her nodding, and her lips curved into a smile. However, suddenly she closed her eyes and her body fell limp. The medical team around her began to move faster, working non-stop in an effort to save her.Mora, even though she looked worried, didn't waste any time. She spoke firmly, "This poison has started to spread to her heart. We need a special healing potion, right now!""The concoction still needs ten more minutes," said one of the medical team members in a worried tone."Damn it!" shouted Mora, her eyes radiating determination to save Nola."Can it be accelerated, Mora?" Rex asked in a trembling voice, his worry clearly visible on his face.Mora shook her head slowly, giving the bad news that the potion-making process could not be accelerate
I guess I just realized how tired I was. My energy was drained trying to save Nola. I rolled from a kneeling position to a sitting position, and then tried to get up."Wait and pray, we have to give him time to fully recover," Mora said in a soft but firm voice.My eyes looked at Nola expectantly, witnessing the miracle of healing that had just occurred. Step by step, life filled his fragile body again, giving him a chance to rise again."Thank you, Mora," I said in a hoarse voice because my vocal cords had not been used for a long time. I just realized that that was the first time I spoke after I was in a coma. Then, my body slumped tiredly. I fell to the ground, letting exhaustion crush me.After I returned to reality, I found myself nestled in the middle of a quiet treatment tent. Nola lay beside me, her face looking peaceful under the soft light burning from the oil lamp. My gaze fell on his pale face, checking for any signs of life. There was warmth flowing through my body, evide
The two people seemed to have reached the limit of their patience. I could see their tense faces and eyes shining with despair. “That's bullshit,” I snapped in a shaky voice, trying to defend Nola and clarify that their accusations were baseless.However, before I could do more, suddenly the two people started to look unwell. Their faces were pale, their eyes were blank, and they began to sway back and forth before finally falling to the ground. There was a roar among us, screams and cries of panic filled the air. We were all shocked, unable to believe what had just happened.“No!”Mora immediately ran towards the two people, panic clearly visible on her face. "Quick, we need help here!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with anxiety. The tribe members who were nearby immediately rushed over, trying to provide help. However, when Mora checked the two people's heartbeats, her expression immediately changed to an expression of deep sorrow. "It's too late...," she whispered in a hollow voi
Even though Rex's words offered some relief, my heart was still disturbed by worry. I decided to stay beside Nola, waiting patiently for her to finally open her eyes.Rex looked at me with his caring eyes, the light from outside the tent playing shadows on his face. "Ares, you should rest. I will look after Nola," he said, his voice cool although filled with strong determination.I nodded, appreciating his concern. "You're right," I answered in a slightly hoarse voice. I know my body won't be able to stand guard next to Nola all the time. I have to rest, or I won't be able to give her my best.I looked at Nola once again, my heart pounding. Mora and the medical team continue to monitor his condition closely. My worries are still hanging in the air, but I have to trust the team that is here.Before I left the tent, I couldn't hold back my urge to ask about Uncle Arthur and Sarah. My voice was barely audible over the din outside. "Rex," I called softly, my voice echoing off the tent wal
I stared at his face in deep confusion, trying to understand the meaning of his words."Severus? Who is he? Did he order you?" I asked."Severus," he repeated.However, the answer still didn't provide any clues. Instead, her body slumped from my grasp. Slowly and silently, he fell to the damp ground of the forest, his last breath slipping out in a halting gasp.I froze for a moment at this eerie scene, the realization of death so sudden and unexpected. He had gone, taking with him the mystery of Severus and whatever secrets he might have carried.“Damn...”I was forced to lift the lifeless body. Carefully, I decided to take his body back to camp. Our footprints are scratched in the damp earth, drawing dark marks on the earth that has witnessed this mysterious death."Call all the tribal leaders," I said to one of the tribesmen who saw me carrying this body.“O-okay, General,” he replied before running away.Soon the tribal leaders came from their camps. Rex left the medical camp after
We all looked around and didn't find anything about Severus, until finally I saw a book lying around and half burned.I reached for the book, the pages almost fragile between my fingers. Emerging from there, traces of Severus. As it turns out, Severus is not a person's name, but rather a state in which a person is completely influenced by a spirit. This was a major discovery, and it felt as if all the clues we had been searching for all this time were gathered in the worn pages of this book.I stepped slowly towards them, the book held expectantly. “Wait, listen to what I found,” I said, my voice filled with excitement mixed with curiosity. I showed them the open pages of the book.Bil frowned, eyes trying to digest this new information. "Severus is not a person's name, but rather the state of being completely influenced by a spirit," he said, his eyes shining with the thrill of new knowledge.Rex nodded, absorbing the explanation. "So this is not just a name, but also a very basic sp
