《The Divine Traits》Chapter 7: Rescue
Advertisement
Out in the middle of nowhere in the traitless territory, a cave-like dungeon can be seen surrounded by members of the church behind them a fire can be seen covering a caravan with screams of agony coming from inside of the burning caravan.
Inside of the dungeon, a boy with white shaggy hair and deep red eyes with uncountable numbers of cuts and bruises on his body can be seen laying on the floor of the dungeon boss unconscious and bleeding out. Two figures can be seen running into the room towards the boy, The two figures look as hurt as the boy with some burn marks on their bodies, one of the figures had a temperature changing aura encompassing him while the other had scale-like hands, when they arrived at the boy the scale hand figure seemed to summon a blue glowing feather out of thin air
"We have to go, his wounds are way too extreme for short jumps we need to do a long jump" Raynor stated to Zelus while Raynor looked over Jerichos wounds
"That mana drain will be extreme we won't be able to save everyone else then it will just be us 3 that will be able to jump!" Zelus almost yelled at Raynor
"Their already dead Zelus, He's the only one we can save!" Raynor yelled back
"I don't care if you're coming with me or not I'm jumping out with him to the nearest guild city," Raynor told Zelus
"fine start the jump call I don't want to die here today, anyway I think your right about them already being dead, we couldn't even last that long against the first force of the church what chance do they have when their reinforcements arrive" Zelus said in an untrackable tone
Ten seconds after Zelus said that the blue glow of the feather intensified until the glow encompassed all three of them, moments later nothing but burn marks in a magnificent detail of patterns could be seen on the floor of the boss floor.

-Somewhere in the trait controlled territory-
When Zelus and Raynor jumped them, they appeared at the town of Reathler, a city where the organization of the guild is based. When they arrived they rushed to the hospital where some white mages and clerics worked when they arrived they were immediately brought into healing areas for them to be healed, while Raynor and Zelus were healed instantly, Jericho was in a serious state where they had to heal slowly and carefully and let the body heal most of the wounds or his body parts where the wounds were would become disfigured if they were healed immediately.
-4 weeks later-
Jericho could be seen in an infirmary bed with no cut marks or bruises on his body at all, At that moment Jericho opened his eyes regaining consciousness, the first thing he saw was a bright white light which made him blink more, Jericho raised his body up to look at the room, the room looked bland only 2 wooden chairs in the corner with the infirmary bed taking up most of the space, right then Zelus walked through the door to do his daily check up on Jericho.
"What happened?" Jericho asked in a hoarse voice
"Hmm? oh your awake good, well first while you were battling the boss a giant swarm of I don't know some kind of mutated squirrels swarmed into the cave and making us dive for cover once they got to the boss room they ran back out of the cave and we never saw them again, then the church attacked, they were in their crusade gear attacking from all sides, we were still stunned by the squirrel attack to be ready for it they destroyed us, burning the caravan to ashes and killing most of the party, Me, you, and Raynor are the only survivors, the party bought us some time to get to you, when we did Raynor activated a Jump Call Feather, before you ask its an enchanted item that allows for teleportations from short range to long range, well long range you need a fast travel point and to travel there is a ginormous mana drain which broke the feather, then we rushed you to the hospital and got healed up" Zelus said

-Ugh normal Zelus, why does he always seems to never stop talking- Jericho thought
"Well since your up let's get you out of this bed and get you signed up with the guild and get you into the academy since your here," Zelus said in an excited manner, as he grabbed Jericho by the hips and dragged him out of bed, towards the exit of the hospital
Jericho noticed he was in nice clothing, it was a grey and dark red jacket with a black sling going across his chest, with combat leather pants and boots.
"Wait when did I get these clothes?" Jericho asked
"oh Raynor and I got you those while you were unconscious it's for the academy, see the symbol on the shirt and sling, that's your uniform and we got it custom designed for the jacket," Zelus said to Jericho
"wait what academy and whats the guild?" Jericho asked in a shocked inquiring way
"the guild is part of the government in the trait territory, it controls the combat education of trait bearers and is the employers of adventurers but since you just got your traits we need to get you signed up like everyone else who unlocks combat traits then you will have to go to the academy which trains the trait bearers to use their traits in combat and other ways, after you finish the academy you get a choice to be a guild member and fight for the guild in the military, join other guild branches like the mages guild which obviously controls the mages influence, join a nobles territory, or go off on your own as an adventurer, the academy will give you a semester of classes after that you need to pick your own classes to do, and have to pay with arena credits to join those classes" Zelus says as they arrive at a black stone wall fortress at the near center of the city with people entering and exiting everywhere

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6

Neither did Eva when she picked up an injured canine after an evening out drinking with a friend to celebrate their arrival in Tokyo.At least those duties are little more than a part time job as a delivery-fox. And they come with room and board, as well as making her life that much more interesting.
