--[Jason´s Pov]--

Blasted away by the huge shockwave the explosion caused, Jason´s body smashed into a large tree, where his short fly through the air was forcefully halted.

*Crack*

Jason could only hear a faint crack from his upper back, as searing pain spread throughout his whole body, as he fell on the ground, barely able to stay conscious.

'Sh*t...I can't stand up….. This explosion was huge...It should be dead, right?' Forcefully smiling, he tried to stand up, only to notice that it was not impossible, when his energy left him, which forced him to slump down on the ground before he collapsed.

Artemis who observed everything from above, dived down towards him, worriedly checking if he was fine.

Through their thick soul connection, she figured out that Jason´s right shoulder was broken, which worried her as she noticed a few broken potions within the belt next to three intact potions with different colors.

She didn't know what they could do, but having seen Jason and other students using them occasionally to replenish their mana, hasten up their regeneration process, and calm down from excessive stress, she carefully took them out with her talons of the belt before crudely opening the lid with her beak.

Overturning Jason on his back with the help of her horns, Artemis noticed his deathly pale face without any blood circulation within it at all, causing her to act even faster, as she picked up the intact potion with her beak up while trying to shed too much of its liquid before she stood on his chest.

Carefully tilting her head, the liquid within the potion dripped into Jason´s mouth that was barely opened, while more than half of it streamed along his cheeks.

After the first potion was emptied, Artemis checked her connection with Jason once again, and once she figuring out that his life was not in danger anymore, she averted her gaze to see his pale face that looked slightly rosier, she felt immediate relief.

Taking the next two potions out, Artemis slowly poured them out above Jason´s mouth.

After each intact potion was emptied, she didn't know what else to do in order to help him, as she remembered from Jason´s memories that a smooth mana circulation was one of the most important things for first-aid help with the highest priority being healing reagents.

As such, Artemis tried to access Jason´s mana circulation, which was hardly possible, because his mana core was completely dried up, while the passive mana circulation of his sub-area barely helped him in his current situation.

Because Jason had barely any mana left, Artemis tried to inject him with her ice transmuted mana, in order to circulate it within him to hasten up his recuperation process which however decreased the temperature of his body by a few degrees.

Suddenly the green-blueish, torn exoskeleton vanished, with an equal colored mana circle appearing next to Artemis, only to see Scorpio emerging from it.

Even though the exoskeleton around Jason was completely torn apart before it dissolved when his little soulbond left the mana core.

However, Scorpio seemed completely fit, while his outer appearance looked shredded and the cause of this was that Jason used his last remaining mana and nutrition within his body in order to save his second soulbonds life, while forcefully ejecting a large wall of mana from the mana sphere bracelet before the explosion occurred.

Scorpio´s mana core was still filled and it did exactly the same as Artemis, by injecting its mana into Jason, to hasten up his regenerating process.

If Jason knew of his two soulbonds trying to circulate their ice and poison transmuted mana within his mana veins, he would prevent them with any costs, because they could kill him this way which his naive soulbonds weren't aware of.

Suddenly Jason began to wrath in pain, while he was still unconscious, which caused both Artemis and Scorpio to notice that something was wrong, as they halted with their mana injection and circulation, as Jason´s body began to heat up, increasing the surrounding temperature by a few degrees

With this warmth, his pain eased up, as Jason's mana veins began to accept  Artemis and Scorpio´s mana because it was suddenly cleansed from their cold and lethal poison.

Unbeknownst to the two soulbonds and Jason, who was still unconscious, the black origin flame sensed the perilous situation its contractor was in, causing it to leave the soul world by instinct only to spread its flame throughout Jason´s body, cleansing him from the dangerous transmuted mana while soothing his pain.

Artemis sensed the black origin flame´s existence within Jason, which caused her to hesitate for a moment before remembering that Jason was still in danger, she approached the heated-up body in order to inject her mana once again, while Scorpio did the same.

A few minutes passed, with the three soulbonds working together in harmony in order to save Jason´s life, while their surrounding atmosphere changed between heat, cold, and a poisonous touch.

Jason was completely dried up from mana and nutrition because he also had to replenish Scorpio´s destroyed exoskeleton multiple times at once, causing him to feel extremely exhausted when he woke up from a dream that seemed to take an eternity.

With his golden eyes wide open, he noticed that he was not in his bed at the Fler´s house because he stared through a bunch of lush leaves into a blue sky with clouds partially blocking sun rays brightening up the area around him.

His body felt as if someone shook it heavily while burning, freezing and poisoning him at the same time and trying to stand up, Jason wanted to push himself from the ground with his hands, only to notice his right hand giving in.

"ARGH!!" Jason shouted out, as a searing pain circulated through his right shoulder, causing him to remember everything that happened before he lost his consciousness.

`Is everyone okay?` he immediately asked himself as he looked around, only to notice Scorpio and Artemis sleeping soundly next to him.

Scorpio´s exoskeleton was partially torn apart but he seemed fine, even though his mana was completely dried up.

Suddenly, Jason noticed that Artemis´ mana was also completely dried up and he predicted something, which was related to his dream.

"Thanks…" He said, picking up Artemis to hold her in his arm while summoning a green-blueish mana circle in which Scorpio vanished

"You two did a good job" When he said that, he felt his soul world suddenly increasing by a few degrees, causing Jason to enter it subconsciously, where he saw his black origin flame flickering violently.

Thinking back of his dream, with him heating up, almost as if he was burning, Jason figured out that it was most likely not a dream but rather reality.

"Thank you too" 

Looking around his soul world, he noticed something particular.

Not only thickened his soul connection with the black origin flame but somehow Artemis' soul connection seemed somewhat similar to Scorpio´s only that it was thicker.

'We already established a fortified soul conjunction?!?' He noticed, shocked, as he remembered that he barely knew Scorpio and Artemis for a few months.

'How can I build another fortified soul conjunction this fast? Is it because I raised them or why am I faster than others by dozens of years? Even Till took years to form a fortified soul conjunction with his radiant star eagle?' 

Pondering about these questions, Jason didn´t know a particular answer, but he was almost sure that an important fact for his thick connection with his soulbonds was his soul world.

'I know that my soul world is special, but is that really the reason? It can't possibly be....'

Another few unsure factors could be his personality as he cared about all of them, while he wanted them to become stronger, or simply that he was like their mother while he would sacrifice his lives for them if it was required, which his soulbonds already figured out.

Leaving his soul world, Jason stood up with great difficulties, while his right shoulder hurt like hell, as his body began to shiver.

'Can´t I have some time to recuperate?' he thought while turning around, where his mana eyes perceived the fire elemental crystal horned python slithering towards his direction.

Even if the crystal horned python was still extremely far away, with his current condition, he could hardly run away, as cold sweat poured down his back.
