“Well, if he is alive then there is nothing to worry about. With his mind, I’m sure he is already thinking of a way back,” Silent Light said, feeling lighter than before.

“hmm, that is for sure. Though what about the fire guy? He is not around here now a days,” Abraham suddenly asked as Silent Light laughed, “Him? He is on the shore, I heard he found a very strong water user amongst the ranks of their race, so he is training himself. Last time we talked, he told me that he had an epiphany, maybe he would be able to break the barrier first,”

“Well, that is good. His potential is the greatest amongst us and second only to Prometheus. Only if he could temper his mind and change his attitude, he could achieve a lot more,” Abraham said and then fell in thought for a moment.

“What is it now?” Asked Silent Light.

“Well, Im thinking. The army Im gathering, who would be its leader? We cant lead it and need the younger generation to lead it because thats what Supreme Commander has told me. He specifically wants some strong person with a versatile deck of abilities and also a strong mind so that he could go through harsh situations and deal with them on his own,”

Hearing Abraham’s words, Silent Light simply smiled and answered,

“There is a reason why we are rescuing Prometheus’s disciple. Im sure once everyone sees his work, they would only acknowledge his strength. You know that kid better than me so Im sure you also know how good he is,” action

“Indeed, thats true. That Kid, he can do it, Im sure,” Abraham spoke, having some sort of realization as his eyes glowed and then added, “Let’s get to work then,”

“Hehe… sure, lets work,” Silent Light giggled as the two finished their mission and made their way back to the camp.

Miles away, the forest near Ray’s house,

In a secretive lair hidden by various different bushes; a few people stood around a man lying on a stretcher. The man seemed not a day older than twenty, his body covered wholly in bandages, leaves and even some sort of paste that covered a good portion of his body.

Currently, the man was unconsciousness as some parts of his bandaged body were bleeding non stop.

“It’s time to change his bandages,” a girl who stood closely near him spoke, taking out a stick of coiled bandages, she unwrapped it and started smearing some sort of ointment on the bandage.

“What is this?” Asked a guy who stood a bit away.

“This is a special ointment I asked the head nurse to prepare. It’s going to slowly eradicate the foreign mana running amok in his body and would help him heal faster. It contains a fair bit of magical power imbued into it by the head nurse,” answered another girl as she sat down near the man and carefully wiped the man’s forehead.

Her whole body shuddering as she tried to be as careful and gentle as she could be, in fear of not harming the man in any way possible.

“What’s the situation at the mansion? Anyone acting suspiciously or out of line?” Another girl asked.

“No, on the surface all seems good but there are some people trying to mess things up but not in Ray’s matter. No one is suspicious of him not being here but there are a lot of them being opportunistic but the head nurse and Sirius keep everything in line since Ray’s mother herself has decided to show her support to Sirius in public, a lot of them have stepped back but in the shadows, they all are waiting for a chance,” The girl applying the bandages answered.

“hmm, well what can we do. If they are cautious of me, they should be. Im just there, taking care of what Ray has left and once Ray is back, I will personally take care of those scoundrels but right now, we need them,” Sirius answered, stepping out of the shadows, a few bandages wrapped around his fists, he seemed to have not fully recovered from the previous battle.

“Why is that?” A man asked, around the same age as everyone; only that he was much more muscular and buffer, a shield on his back- it was Tim.

“It’s simple. They have the strength and while we are injured, we need their strength. Im sure they have some trump cards to them and if we give them enough hope, they would do their everything for the control of the mansion. After all, the mansion and the area around the mansion is probably the only place in the whole city devoid of danger. So they would do everything in their power to protect it if they are given hope to be able to achieve it,” Sirius answered, his eyes flickering with a strange light as he seemed to be thinking about something vicious.

“Though, they will die, sooner or later. Let them be as they are right now and if someone crosses their line, I will make sure to have them made an example,” Sirius said as the shadows engulfed him once more and then vanished into the shadows.

“Sighh, he has gotten more colder ever since that day,” Tim sighed and turned to look down at Ray, his eyes containing worry as he asked, “When will he wake up?”

“Don’t know, his body is probably protecting him by shutting down itself. If he gains consciousness right now, the pain would kill him and if not the pain, the shock would surely do the job,” answered the girl who had been doing the bandaging.

“Done, this bandage should help him ease as well. It has some soothing properties,” the girl answered and stood up as the one who had been wiping Ray’s face earlier hugged her tightly, sobbing in her embrace,

“Thanks so much Aliya, if not for you, he would have suffered so much. Thanks a lot for helping him right now,”

“Shut up idiot. How dare you say that? Its my duty, he is my leader and Im obliged to treat him, help him, and get him back on his feet. Don’t worry and continue to stay by his side, we all are a team here and wont let anything happen to him,” Aliya answered as she looked at the girl in her eyes, her gaze resolute despite the tears welling up in her eyes.

“We all are in pain but we need to stick together and toughen up. Im sure we can make through this period with ease,” saying so, Aliya let go of the girl and turned around to leave as two more people stood up from the ground and prepare themselves to leave,

“Also, Aella; your duty is ending tomorrow. From then on, It’s Kashish’s turn for the next three days, so I’m sure you are ready as that girl surely is very ecstatic on spending time, caring for Ray,” saying so, Aliya kept on walking back while Tim followed behind her, waving goodbye to Aliya.

“Don’t worry, he is better than before; I can sense his aura, its getting stronger day by day,” the other girl came and hugged Aella before leaving.

“Thanks Emma, you guys are the help he needs right now and Im sure he would be happy to know that he has such good friends like you guys,” Aella said as Emma nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

As the three walked back, Aella sat down near Ray and focused her attention on her lover. Right now, Ray was sleeping soundly, his body riddled with wounds as he would occasionally grunt in pain but atleast his expression was of peace.

“He is a strong man, Im sure he will make it through in no time,” A man with golden hair and of tall height came as he sat down besides Ray.

“Hmm, he is the best so he will come back and wake up soon or else Im not going to leave him alive,” Aella said, weeping as she prayed to the non existent gods of their help and to protect Ray and heal him back.

“Yes, I’m sure he will be back,” The man said and stood up, “Ever since you guys came here, this place of the forest seems to have grown much livelier, I don’t know what it is but im sure that it’s something in him resonating with the forest and so the forest seems to be helping him as well,” said the man and walked away.

“Thanks Alden,” said Aella as she face the man while Alden only nodded with a smile, “Why thank me? He was the one who saved us from enslavement and it is us who are in his debt,” Saying so, Alden walked away while Aella only smiled with all her heart and got back to catering to Ray.
