《Reborn as a Symbiote》Chapter 5
Advertisement
As the next daylight begins to shines down on Sunrise city, rays of light begins to slowly fall down.
In the Yao complex, a few ray of lights shines down through the windows upon a little girl. Where a warm light begins to shone on her closed eye lid.
The little girl Yao Zi begins to stir awake, with the first thing she see is the ever so familiar ceiling in her room. A moment that has become both a relief and nightmare to her. Relieved that she was able to hold on another day and not waste the medicine her family had given her to help, yet scared because the gnawing pain would always creep up back to her body. A pain that had also started to ache on her face.
Tears starts to build up on her eyes as she realized another day had past. Sadden by the words she heard last night as she able to stay awake. Placing all the blame herself that her mother and family is feeling sad. That maybe if she was gone, the sad face on mommy, grandpa, and grandma would disappear.
The tears rolled down on her face, as she began to close her eyes again.
"GUUuoooood MORning little missy" A high pitch peppy voice sounded in Yao Zi's head, causing her to open her eyes wide in surprise. She quickly turn her head to the left side.
"Bu buu, wrong side, try again." The high pitch voice began to tease her.
Yao Zi quickly turn her eyes to her right side, and saw a weird looking transparent green blob with two thin horizontal lines. The green blob was slightly bigger than the meat bun her mom would use to make for her.
"Yo, little missy" The green blob greeted the little girl again jumping up and down a few times.

"Are you here to take Yao Zi away?" The little girl slightly tilt her head while still laying down on a pillow.
"Eh? What makes you think that little miss?" It was the green blob's turn to tilt slightly in confusing.
"I heard from mommy that bad children will be taken away from bad demons." repeating a phrase her mother would tell her when she needed to listen.
"Er… well I don't think I'm a demon. More like a lost traveler." The green blob tried to explain while leaning to one side then another. "But I'm very weak right now and can't move on my own."
"But how did you get here if you can't move?" Curiosity begins to set in her eyes, distracting her from her daily pain she stare at the foreign looking living thing.
"Hmm, long story short. An old guy picked my house, I was inside ,up and brought it home. Then gave it to a lady with long back hair wearing a red and white robe with a flame symbol on it. Who then brought me to this room."
"Mommy did?" Confusion begins cloud her mind, why she would bring a weird talking animal to her room. Then she redirect her thoughts to all the herbs and spirit stones she would normally bring to help cure her. "Then can you help Yao Zi get better?" A glimmer of hope began to taken hold of her heart, as she stare straight at the green blob.
Two black dots begins to appear on the green blob, as it stood still for a while.
"Is no good?" Losing luster in her eyes, as maybe this would not work either.
[Acquired [Decay Resistance(Low) Level 1 ] ]
Her expression full of surprise as a part of body did not feel so painful anymore.

"Well, it looks like I can help you little missy, but I won't do it for free." The two block dots reverted back to the two thin lines again while shaking its body left to right causing it to jiggle at the end. "I'll help you if you help me."
"Umm. How can I help you?" Yao Zi wonder how she could help this mysterious being while her body was still suffering a terrible condition. She thought maybe it wanted to ask her family for help through her, because her family would always try to get something for her when she ask for it.
"Easy, just give me your body." The two thin lines on the green blob bend upward.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
