The Ancients World Chapter 89
Advertisement
I've explained the entire situation to Tieer and I have yet to hear him speak if I have his help with this. He looks at me with the same look I have when I think deeply about something. "From what you have described your friend is having his vision taken from him. I might know a fix, but I'll have to investigate him in person. Can you take me to him." I'm glad that he is willing to try, I nod my head yes and walk towards the door. I hear him follow behind me and we make our way to the door. He turns his head back to say a final thing to Jackson. "Don't wait up for me, I don't know how long this will take or how dangerous it really is." Jackson nods his head and looks to Charles. They are going to discuss something in private is seems.
Tieer and I make our way out of the palace and onto the streets of the ruined city. "So how did you come to be the court mage for Jackson, I'm sure that it wasn't strictly because you were friends. Jackson isn't that irresponsible." He laughs at my deduction, in truth I have a good idea why he was selected. However, that conclusion is solely based on my working knowledge of Tieer and that isn't much. I'm glad he didn't take offense to my question though. He has a look of contemplation on his face before answering me.
He soon sighs and takes out a little notebook, he scribbles something down. "He made me the court mage because of my unique healing and offensive magic. Believe it or not I wield a legacy class myself. I had it every since I was a boy, I got it when I was studying some old ruins in Melion. After that happened my life changed and I became the most powerful magic user in my family." I wonder what his legacy class is, I knew nothing of this. I'm curious to ask more, but that seems rude of me. I'm glad I know that he earned his spot of power though, most don't work for their goals anymore.
We continue walking down the streets until we reach the gate to the city. We have no problems with the guards since he is a higher rank than them. "My friend is staying at his little brothers farm. Its about a 10 minute walk from here, and I must warn you he is bitter about losing his sight. So keep the jabs at a minimum." I can tell that Tieer's personality is one of the many that tease and make fun of others and their circumstances. I admit I don't like these types of people, but sometimes you cant avoid them in life. Tieer isn't someone who knows what failure is like, and for all I know his life has been sunshine and rainbows. Its hypocritical of me to think this though, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

He chuckles at my words, seems others opinions of him don't affect his mood. I wish I had that much pride, I have to much bad memories of people like him. "I'll be sure to take it easy on your friend, I'm here to help you guys after all. Just make sure that you keep him in line, I don't like priests, especially arrogant ones. He may have been humbled, but it will undoubtedly return. Everyone from the Holy City has a stick so far up their ass, it really ruins the experience of the city." He got banned from the Holy City so I understand his feelings, I cant relate though. I have never been to the Holy City, so I'll save my opinion till I experience it myself.
I could see myself being enemies with Tieer if my life was the same as last time. He reminds me of a bad time in my life, well more so his attitude. "So what's it like being an angel? I'm sure you get tons of special treatment, despite that you hide your identity. If I were you I would live like a king and never know a day of hard work. I guess that's where we differ isn't it." I cant help some of my anger from slipping out, all that appears is a scowl on my face. I can see that I wont like the time I spend with Tieer, and I can see why Jackson has such a hard time with him. If I had to deal with Tieer everyday I would yell to, I might even try and take his life.
The farm is coming into view, I don't respond to his question of me being an angel. I have more important things to discuss than getting into a contest of measuring power with another. "I'll go and get Sam. Meet us over at the viewpoint, its his favorite spot to be. Remember, be nice to him. He is still blind and adjusting, hopefully after this he wont be." Tieer nods his head and heads off towards the viewpoint. I make my way to the house and pass the tents that cover the massive front yard. I knock on the door and a woman answers it, she recognizes me as Sam's friend and lets me in. She takes me to him and he is sitting on his bed trying to practice his brail. "Sam, I was able to get the help of the king. The court mage is waiting for us, lets see if we cant get that blindness lifted" Sam hears my voice and gets all formal and stuffy, hold habits die hard don't they.

He stands up with his walking stick and makes his way towards me. For all I know this is his last time being blind, I wonder what its like experiencing total darkness even when your eyes are open. "I'm glad that you are going through all this trouble to help me. I'll try my best to make sure you succeed in your quest." I wonder if I would be treated like this by everyone from the church, thinking about it more I wouldn't. Sam had a reality check when he lost his sight, and it made him a better man. A bitter one yes, but one better than he once was. We walk side by side to the viewpoint and I can see Tieer waiting for us.
We eventually make it to him and I sit Sam down. Tieer takes a good hard look at Sam and his eyes. "I'm going to use some magic to see if you have anything affecting your mind along with your eyes. You might feel a numbing sensation, but that's normal." Tieer gets to work right away, I watch him cast some spells. I recognize some, and fail to others. "You definitely have something affecting your eyes. You should thank the lucky stars your mind is intact from such a curse. This is a custom made curse, whoever made it knew what they were doing. Its specifically designed to target the strongest part of a person. The bad news I have is we cant remove it without someone willing to take the burden from you." Sam's body slouches at the prognosis of Tieer, we know what we are dealing with now. "The good news is Zern can take the burden." I look at him as if he is as dumb as a sack of bricks. "You have powerful angel blood, the curse wont affect you like it would Sam." He brings up a great point.
I sigh thinking what this could mean for me. "What do you think it would do to me? I doubt it could affect my body like it would Sam or yours. If anything it would attack my mind, that's my greatest weapon." Tieer just smiles, I have a bad feeling about this and I have no clue what he plans to do to transfer the curse. He holds out his hands in a manner for me to take a seat. "You better know what your doing Tieer, I may be immortal and half angel. I can still hold a grudge though." He just laughs at my words. He begins to cast some spells I know nothing about, I learned something today. People like Tieer should be avoided as much as possible.
As soon as I hear the casting stop I pass out, I fall off the bench and begin feeling very tired. After a few hours of sleeping I wake up in my bed, I'm not in Ancients World anymore. I look over to my gaming pod and see my old equipment. I'm brought out of my confusion as I hear yelling from downstairs. "HOW DARE YOU BRING DRUGS IN MY HOUSE!!! YOU ARE LEAVING TODAY HAILEY!!! I EXPECT YOU GONE BY MIDNIGHT!!!" I know that voice and those words. I think I know what's happening right now, and I cant help feeling a sickness envelop me. This is what my life was like before I made my wish. Seems this curse wants to destroy my greatest power, and that's my family.
