《Alive bond》A new challenge

Third pov
Johanna didn't know how to feel. Or to be more precise she didn't know what to feel first. Her mind was like a hurricane and she was trying to distinguish the water from the air. Her excitement for this unique discovery was overshadowed by her anxiety just thinking of the numerous things that could go wrong. Anxiety which was overpowered by her confidence in her abilities but from time to time doubted if they were enough.
Haures was sleeping. He should be walking up soon. Paimon said that he had some errands to run but Johanna could see past his excuses. Paimon was afraid. A few days ago he had one brother dead and the other on the brink of death. Now he had a chance to get his family back.But also he could lose it all. Energy-carrying is much more dangerous than human pregnancy. Normally,when a Shadow is in such a condition it is relieved from all responsibilities but this was not possible in Haures's case. Also,the Dark Queen will not be pleased from this. She always disapproved of the close connection between the brothers.
Johanna lost her train of thought when she heard a sound. She looked down and as she had suspected Haures was awake. His eyes were like deep dark voids without any life in them. The irony was his eyes right now reminded her so much of the universal darkness from which he had emerged but at the same time they seemed unfitting. They lacked his usual fiery passion,his short-temper,their sharpness. Johanna was partially glad to be the one responsible to bring back a glimpse of their previous light.
She took the papers with the energy tests and showed them to him. But his eyes remained unfixed.
"Read it. I promise you, once you do,you will wish you knew sooner. I know that you know how to read them,i don't have to explain them"

After a few good looks,he sat up in bed and took the papers from Johanna's hands. She could feel her energy pulsing with worry. If he didn't believe her,if he thought it was some kind of sick joke,he could kill himself right there and now.
But then she saw tears in his eyes. That was the biggest surprise of her existence. The Grand Prince of the Shadows doesn't cry. But it was unreasonable of her after all this that something cannot happen
She had to get him food and water. He hasn't eaten properly in days and that was dangerous in his present condition. Shadows were beings of energy. Their physical forms were modified energy to resemble a body structure but nevertheless it had the same demands in nutrients. A disruption in the body's function could cause serious energy imbalance.That meant she also had to run a complete physical check now that he once again had communication with his surroundings.
She ran into Paimon on her way downstairs. Of course,she could have called one of the servants but she wanted to pick the food herself. These ignorant lower-class Shadows were capable to bring him even alcohol which us known for interrupting the energy transfer inside the body
"Paimon,good to see you. He is awake. Go upstairs to see for yourself and I will be coming back up shortly with the food.",she said in a hurry but Paiomon simply grabbed by her arm and brought her closer
"Two things. First,you need to calm down. We have an entire year ahead of us and you are starting to lose your calm from the very first day we found it. Second,we have a bit of a problem. The Dark Queen is downstairs. Don't go down,she will know something is wrong. Hide upstairs until she leaves and in the meantime I will prepare Haures. Is he fit for an audience with her?"

"Medically speaking no. But knowing your brother,it's his everyday job to act as he should even when he can't"
Paimon just nodded and continued his way to his brother's room. When he opened his door he was surprised to find Haures sitting up. He looked tired,in more ways than one,but determined. At that moment Paimon realised that Haures carrying Thanos's energy was the best thing that could happen.
His older brother has been blaming himself for the loss of their younger sibling,even though that was untrue. No doubt Haures will see this as an opportunity to redeem himself,to fix his mistake. Also,Thanos was in the most safe place in the Universe right now. Before all Thanos was protected at Haures's side. Now,inside his body he was unreachable.
"What are you looking at,brother? Did you really think I would just die and leave you on the throne? You would marry the queen of our enemies the next day."
Paimon must have been staring without his knowledge. Despite his immense joy to see glimpses of his brother's old self,he had to get him downstairs. The Dark Queen was not patient.
"And having to deal with the Dark Queen that is waiting for you? No way. Get ready before she comes upstairs and we will have to explain why your energy is being monitored like a nuclear reactor."
But when Haures tried getting up it became clear,it became clear that things would not run smoothly. When he stood up,he felt extremely dizzy. His brother caught him before the fall. The unbalanced diet of the past weeks along with the energy modifications taking place in his body have weakened him.
But they had no choice. If their ruler were to suspect anything she would make sure to separate Thanos from his family the moment he was back in the physical world. Even though the tok brothers argued on many things,the well being of their baby brother was an undebated issue.
So Paimon helped his brother up and assisted him in getting ready. They hurried despite Haures present fragile state.
The Dark Queen was waiting in the grand living room. She seemed indeed unpleased to have been kept waiting but she always excused her best subject.
"Good evening,your Majesty and sorry to have kept you waiting" Haures said with a steady and respectful voice.
"Don't think about it. Come sit next to me. We have much to discuss."

8 119The Downward Spiral
Blood? My wrist was covered in it. It wasn't dried up or reeked of the combination of that black gunk from all those other freaks. It was fresh and warm too. Where was it coming from? I checked my body. My t-shirt was splattered in everyone else's blood but my own. Turning over my hand, my eyes lowered to where Ray was holding onto me. I gasped and released him, covering my mouth to stop from screaming. "Holy shit dude! What happened to your-?!" Tears were forming in his eyes but he looked down and hid his hand from me. "Please d-don't worry about it. Let's just go find a real hospital already." He said while shaking. "I...I don't want to think about it right now O-okay? It's no big deal..It's just...it's a finger..." My mind went blank. I pulled him into a tight hug. I wanted to do nothing much but to cry right now. I got him into this mess. This was all my fault.

8 391How a lame loner's life is not like normal dudes
Are you a loner? If you ask me I have to say yes. And it has nothing to do with the plot. The summary is going to be messy so please bear. *The Summary* Join the adventure of our MC Akito. Who's a Japanese 2nd Year High School student going throuh with an unusual problem. And that is the writer has not casted him in a good narrative story. The MC is going through serious depression and anxiety due to this and he doesn't even know what's going to happen with him in the near future. And of course this won't be narrated in the story because the author is a lazy hobo who has no will to write. *Lame unimportant information* *Please skip this part* Its a story of a character who happens to be the character of a writer. And that writer by the way is the character of another story. Basically its a story of that guy. And here the main character happens to be me (the main character here. I'm narrating the story for your information.). And its kind of sad that its a comedy rather than gruesome action fantasy or virtual reality story. But its an uncommon story which you'll never hear about or will never see be famous for some lame reasons. By the way the author doesn't even have any aspiration to imrpove his grammar so whack him for his terrible excuse of grammar. And also be prepared to wash your eyes with bleach after reading it. Bleach is gonna clean your eyes ;)
