"There was no one with him when they found him lying unconscious in the field."
"Who found him?""Newbies. They were on their way to training. They brought him in."Two healers stood over Sora's unconscious body on the infirmary bed. They both had blue badges attached to their uniforms displaying their ranks."And he had all these cuts when they brought him in?" She asked with her eyes roaming over his body"Yes. They were more than this, but some have closed up. Thankfully they weren't deep cuts. He has been unconscious since the incident but he will be fine.""How about his healing?""I healed him when they brought him in. Thankfully his mage blood works okay for his healing and I have done every other thing necessary, he should be much better by tomorrow."Sora could feel himself waking up. The voices around him went on and on in his ears, he wanted it to stop. He felt the softness of the frame he was laying on, it was not the hard ground he remembered hitting before darkness took over and he was grateful for it.Finally he opened his eyes, he was familiar with the surroundings, he had been here several times. He was laying on a bed in the infirmary.His vision was still blurred but he could make out two figures standing over him, one closer to the head of the bed, and the other closer to the foot.He was tired, his body hurt all over but he said nothing. Instead he shut his eyes again and listened to them talk.The nurse closer to the head of the bed spoke first. "This is appalling. Why would anyone do this to him?" Her voice was very different; there was a certain softness to her voice that was almost soothing.There was an awkward silence before the nurse at his foot of the bed responded. "You don't know him?""Should I know him?" Head nurse asked."He's the one." Foot nurse's tone sounded firm."What one?"Sora noticed there was genuine curiosity in her tone. Didn't she know about him?Sora knew what was coming next and he winced at the mere thought that someone was going to get newly acquainted with him for the most unpleasant reason.Foot nurse sighed before speaking, "The mage with no powers.""Ohhh…" The empathy in her tone made Sora hurt more than the darts Konan had thrown at him. "This is him?"Sora realized he just lost his opportunity to have a normal mage-mage interaction with anyone. An interaction that didn't involve the other party being sorry for him."Yeah, it's him.""It must have been horrible." Head nurse's empathy was apparent in her tone.""You can almost imagine the pain he went through when he was cut. It would have been traumatizing. Now topped with the inability to retaliate or heal fast, just imagine the horror."He could feel them staring at him for a while. As though imagining how his life had been up until this moment.Sora was done listening. He could not bear to listen to them analyze and pity him anymore. He opened his eyes and struggled to get up but his entire body stung everywhere.The nurses were alerted by his sudden movements and turned their focus on him.Head nurse spoke first. "You're awake. You should lay down. Your body is healing but not fast enough for you to be moving yet. Just rest."Sora was glad the pity party was over. He just had to find a way to either get out of the room or get them to leave to avoid further embarrassment.After pushing him back into bed gently, the foot nurse began the questions; "Do you remember what happened? Can you tell us what happened?Sora closed his eyes, he re-lived the horror of being turned into a wild prey for entertainment. The feeling of each dart piercing and slicing his skin felt too real and his entire body stung all over again.He knew he couldn't tell them what happened. Konan would get punished and that would only make him angrier, his anger would be taken out on him. His lack of powers would also become the talk of the Ivy Halls again and quite frankly, he wasn't interested in being the center of attention again for the wrong reasons.He sighed and opened his eyes "I fell into thorns.""Thorns? There were no thorns where we found you." Foot nurse obviously wasn't convinced."I dragged myself out of them." Sora sounded like he was trying to convince himself more. He knew they didn't buy it but he didn't care."There were no thorns in your flesh when they brought you here." It was the foot nurse again."I pulled them all out." He kept his tone as flat as possible."Everything?" She replied in shock."Everything.""Let me get this straight, you fell unprovoked amongst thorns, you dragged your body out of the thorns by yourself, and pulled out each thorn by yourself and passed out there?A brief pause then he replied "Yes""That's the story you're going with?" She sounded angry but there was a lot of concern in her body language.Sora didn't respond, he didn't have to.Head nurse said nothing. She simply stood with her arms folded watching them converse. She listened to Sora speak but she didn't buy any of what he said. They glanced at each other, all three of them with the same thought. They knew Sora was lying but they didn't push it.Head nurse spoke next. "We should let him rest. Call us if you need anything.""There's your cloak, in case you get cold at night. Apparently you had the time to take it off before falling into the thorns. They found it a distance away from where you laid unconscious. Almost like you predicted the fall and took off your cloak in advance to avoid getting it torn." Foot nurse stressed the sarcasm in her voice.

Not that one
The stren baritone voice Sora had heard the last time he was in Warrick’s house was a complete contrast to the person before him. He had expected an equally stern man with an intimidating build and sharp exterior but Warrick was a plum and short man with a hairline that began to recede ages ago and a huge mustache he obviously was in denial about...All qualities he knew he had seen somewhere before.“Who are you?” Warrick demanded as he moved even closer to them.“Messengers—Visitors ” Sora and Aridah replied respectively.They exchanged questioning looks and looked back at Warrick with awkward smiles“Visitors—Messengers” Once again their eyes met.Warrick raised his gun an inch higher and closer to their faces. “I will not ask again, who are you?”This time Sora looked to Aridah as if to give her the floor. “Please tell him who we are.”Aridah cleared her throat and stepped forward from behind Sora, but not close enough to be in Warrick’s line of sight. “We are messengers who are vi
I’m sure
“Are you sure about this?” Aridah asked Farah whilst rubbing the little boy’s head gently. “There might be nothing there.”“I’m sure. There’s nothing else for us to do here, at least there’s something to look forward to now.”“You can come with us, you know. We’re not sure where we’re going yet but at least we’d be together.”“Ari, I’m sure. We will go to the Capital to find my brother.” “And there’s no way to change your mind?”Farah moved closer to Aridah placing a reassuring arm on hers. “I know you’re worried about our safety but we’ll be fine. We will travel by day and hide by night, we’ll be fine.”Aridah sighed, accepting defeat. “Alright, but you don’t have to leave yet, you can stay here till you’re ready. ”“We’ll leave in two days. I want Niko well rested before we begin the journey.” “How are you even going to get there? You can’t possibly walk all the way.”“We’ll need a carriage, or at least something that moves but I have no idea how to get one.”Aridah “There should be
Outnumbered
The Academy was in chaos. They had barely survived the first attack and irrespective of how hard they had prepared for another attack, nothing prepared them enough for the army of soul eaters that befell them. It was another surprise attack, but this time they had taken the capital first.The Hunters rushed into the capital leaving the Academy vulnerable and the soul eaters, led by Two, seized the opportunity to attack the Academy. The number of soul eaters were outrageous compared to how little Hunters were left guarding the Academy, but they fought nevertheless and they fought hard.Z and Kain fought together, bringing down soul eaters, but her eyes always found Tydinn in the crowd and that was when she saw him outnumbered by soul eaters, his blades still went up and down slicing through the mammoth crowd but she was only a matter of time before they would close in on him and take him down.Z's eyes went wide with rage at the sight of Tydinn struggling and without thinking, she jump
Endless
Kresha’s hunters division was large, several separate buildings made up the division and most of them were already engulfed in flames. Everything was happening too fast, and within a minute or less, fire had spread across the entire landing. The hunters that had run back into the division stood at several locations trying to put out the fire with water they drew from the earth, the air, the plants and the fountain in the middle of the division but none of their efforts seemed to work.The building in front of Sora had just started to smolder in the fire and the first thing that crossed his mind was whether or not there were people inside. He thought of going inside the building and looking for some people, but the extreme heat that was coming out of the house thwarted him instantly.Sora channeled all the energy he could and raised a shield to protect himself before dashing into the building. His shield did well to prevent the flames from burning him but it did not stop the smell of f
I saw you run
Sweat dripped down Sora’s body as he made his way from the woods into Kresha. Running to Kresha late at night and in the middle of training hadn’t been in his plans for the night but he felt a sudden urge to find Warrick again and possibly the Hunters division too. The urge had been too strong to ignore so he dropped everything and ran without second guessing himself.As he ran, he felt the cold hit his face but in spite of the cold, his insides kept burning. It burned so much and his head ached as well, he felt the floor rise up to his face and back down as nausea hit him but most of all, his craving for souls drove him insane, however he didn’t stop running. Although he craved for souls, he felt stronger than before, his training was working but it also made his frenzy come quicker and for some reason, this felt stronger than any frenzy he had ever had. He knew it was only a matter of time before he lost complete control and gave in to his frenzy, finally becoming the beast he alway
If patterns work
Aridah walked quietly in front of Sora as they weaved through the streets and Sora waited patiently for a response but nothing came.He finally broke the silence. “You can’t avoid this forever.”Aridah faced him with her tongue stuck out. “I can try, can’t I?”“Aridah, why are you stalling?”“There’s a lot of people around, can we at least get home first?”Sora knew it was another excuse to get out of talking and she probably would find another reason when they got to the house but he wasn’t going to push. He would have to wait and see how things played out when they got to the ho
