《Arcana》Chapter 13 - A Fateful Encounter

“Huh, he’s pretty interesting… guess I’ll choose him”
Even before the fray had begun, a larger predator had already set its’ eyes on its’ prey.

“HA! NOT YET!” [Lan]
I finally knocked out all of the elves that came at me but there were still archers inbound. I heal quickly but probably only with light wounds and I’m not the defense type how do I make up for it?
The answer is…
An elf meat shield!
“Here I~ go” [Lan]
I used their commander as a shield then slowly crept back into the crevice, I blocked the entrance with his body so that I could recover, albeit, even only a little.
Of course the archers can’t shoot their commander, right? HAHAHA! It’s fool proof!
After a few minutes of calming down and eating the fruits I had to replenish my energy, someone suddenly kicked the commander out of the way, taking away my only defense against the archers since I’ve used a lot of arcana this is bad-
“You-“
“Look out!” [Lan]
An arrow suddenly flew towards the entrance, aimed at this lady that didn’t have pointy ears. Before I could think, my body moved on its own, regardless if this woman was an enemy or not. I couldn’t catch the arrow with my bare hands like earlier so I shielded her from the arrow with my non dominant hand. As the arrow pierced through my arm, I caught the extension of the arrow before it could reach me.
“Ara~ what a gentleman”
Is she… human?
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?” [Lan]
“Rest assured, only you are the one who needs treatment”
“Thank goodness. Get inside!” [Lan]
As the woman went inside, I swiftly took the commanders body to block the entrance of the crevice-

“Ah that won’t be necessary”
Before I could even ask, the woman waved her hand to the entrance then suddenly, a few barriers were erected- just like that.
“Wha-!?” [Lan]
“Impressive aren’t I?”
“W-who are you?!” [Lan]
“Rest assured, I’m not hostile unless I am made be… for now I am here since I saw your eye in a pretty bad shape, is it not? I happen to have some eye drops with me”
“Huh?” [Lan]
Eye drops? For an eye that has a huge hole in it?! Is she cra-
“Now, now… bend down so I can apply the eye drops”
“But-“ [Lan]
“Bend”
“Bu-“ [Lan]
“Now”
She suddenly released an unfathomable amount of bloodlust; pressure I could only succumb to-
“Yes ma’am” [Lan]
I bend down then-
“Ah, can I borrow your blade? The lid on the eye drops container is a bit hard to open you see”
“H-here” [Lan]
“Now then”
…
She did not have eye drops.
Why did I even listen to this woman?
She sliced the tip of her finger then made its’ blood drop on my broken eye-
“HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” [Lan]
“Silence… with this, you’ll be fine”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! IT HURTS!!!!” [Lan]
“For now- will- stro- si- …”
I felt my consciousness fading as the pain from my eye became more and more intense and it was spreading throughout my body rapidly. Before I actually got knocked out, the last thing I heard was-
Hosea.

Delve
Truth hides behind action. Delve. A word with many meanings. It may refer to an abyss, a dark place of no return or may also be a refuge, a haven of retreat from the harshness of the outside. None of those are right to me. For me, to delve is to seek the truth. Delving into that dark abyss and coming back with answers. To leave that safe refuge and suffer the pain of the outside just because it is real. This is the story of me delving deep into the truths of the universe. Suffering things that should not be suffered in search of things that should not be known. Once a common man, drowned in the same questions that have plagued humanity since the beginning of times, now I have found my answers. Now I have meaning. Delve, and you shall have yours as well. Jack is a regular citizen of modern society: he works on an office, uses public transport every day, receives a meager salary, and drowns his frustrations with entertainment and alcohol. Maybe, the only thing that sets him apart from many others, is his unique outlook on life. Despite feeling an unfillable void in his soul and suffering from deep depression, he still sees as his duty to be a functional, exemplary member of society. All in order to prove his life-goal point: no matter how good you are, life is still shit. This point-of-view, however, will be challenged by circumstances as a mysterious encounter with a weirdly dressed man takes him to a strange and dark cave. In this place, he will have to fight for his life against fantastical creatures from fiction, and more importantly, get face to face with his own nature. In doing so, he will uncover secrets about the cave that will change both him and all he ever thought to be true.
