Chapter Seven: Recovery and Quests Part One
Pain that is all I can feel, there is no light or sound, just pain. Pure and raw, the most violent and terrible pain that you might only wish on your worse enemy. I am all alone in a terrible darkness and all alone with only my pain to keep me company. I had been alone in the darkness with the ugly pain for….I had forgotten It had been so long.
The pain had been the only thing that I could even imagine for the longest time, that I couldn’t even focus on anything but it, but now I think it might be the only thing keeping me sane now, but what is sanity even I mean-
I heard a whimsical and cheerful voice behind me “You shouldn’t be here.”
And then a massive amount of force sent me flying and as I flew I heard that voice again “If you get here again, make sure to say hi! Oh, and you should get use to that pain if you come here again, I know I have!”
“Huaah!” I awoke with a gasp, and I couldn’t stop taking in lungfuls of air for minutes just enjoying the sensation of something else beside pain. And then I started shaking horribly I just couldn’t stop. I mean that place was terrifying, and all that pain it made me,.- I started dry heaving and couldn’t stop, and I hated it, It's painful but not much better than that voids pain. I hated it still though just completely losing control over my body like that, it went against everything that I have been training for up till now.
And then the shaking returned with a vengeance, and I felt miserable. I just absolutely hated it, losing control over my body is one of my least favorite thing to happen to me, I trained to have control over my body and strength, but where is all my strength now? Maybe it’s not worth it to continue training if this is all my strength can get me.
Eventually I manage to calm myself and the shaking stopped, and I finally gather my, not so great amount of wits and tried to figure out what just happen. Had that been a nightmare? I haven’t had a nightmare since I was too young to remember, or had it been some sort of fucked up dream? No, it couldn’t be either I hadn’t been able to dream since I was young, dad wouldn’t let said it would interfere with training and the healing process, so he beat that out of me till I learned…. I still haven’t figure out how he knew when I dreamed. I shivered at the thought of dad's beatings, they were never malicious now I think about it, but cold and pragmatic to make sure to I learned a lesson. If he found out I quit training because of a dream, he would- I just shivered

I wracked my brains some more but got nothing, so I looked around and saw I’m in a infirmary and there is a glass of water next to my bed with some food. I felt my stomach rumble with desire and in a flash I had devoured all of it and felt barely even full, but felt a little better. Feeling better I got up off the bed, albeit with some trouble since my body ached fiercely all over. Taking it slow and easy I looked over the room and found I am the only occupant, and the room itself is a boring uniform white. I tried the door, but found it locked and I couldn’t open it or pick it open with anything in here. So I just went to lay back on my bed, though I couldn’t find a way to go back to sleep...maybe that’s for the best right now.
So I layed in bed for a while, till I heard the door rattle and opened, I bolted up to see who entered. And I found myself a little awestruck looking at who entered, she’s not very tall, maybe five feet at most, but she is certainly beautiful with long platinum blonde hair that’s reaching her mid back, half open and sharp grey eyes with cat like pupils, sharp ears pointing out of her hair, and soft, but angular features.
Her body is dressed conservatively, though looked thin but lithe. Beautiful, and obviously of Fae descent, but not my type.
While I was checking her out she seemed be doing the same to me, and then said in a oddly deep voice for her looks, “Alright, Mule please sit down, I’m sure you have a lot of questions, but they can wait till after I examine you and make sure everything is in order.” I felt compelled by her voice to do what she asked, and then felt extremely resistant to do that, why because I have authority complex, and so I kept standing.
She sighed, and said coldly “Fine, have it the hard way.” And waved her hand and a enormous amount of pressure press down on me till I sat down.
She then said “Know I’m going to look over your body to make sure everything is in working order, so please be quiet.” And like that she went over my body prodding and testing for responses till she seemed satisfied.

After she seemed done she waved her hand and the pressure disappeared, and gestured for me to speak.
“...So are you like the guilds doctor or something.”
She shook her head “No, I don’t work for the guild. I just commandeered this room and nursed you back to health over the last…” She looked at her phone “Three or so days.”
“Wait I’ve been asleep for three days? And If you’re not a doctor why are you taking care of me… Oh why did I collapsed too.” I asked slowly and calmly, I did not want to piss her off. And secretly hoping that I hadn’t been kidnapped again, I shuddered at the memory of stepmom forty eight.
She looked at me for a moment, and then said with a slight smirk “Well because you made me quite a bit of money, and I figured It was the least I could do. You see there was a bet going on the outcome of the duel, and I said you would win but that you would collapsed right after... and that you did, so I just won a lot of money from that miser Rashid.” She paused for a moment and then continued.
“Anyway you collapsed because of rebound, it’s where you get strong too fast and your body can’t handle it and it gets worse the faster it happens and the stronger you get, a common problem with novices, but novices recover the fastest from rebound so you’ll be fine, you’re just a monster that needs to rest more.” Huh so that’s what happened.
She then seemed thoughtful for a moment before saying “But you did surprise me, with your recovery speed usually a case this severe requires a couple of weeks, but here you are three days later moving around, I’d say you could be back to normal in three, no two days at the most.” I felt a wave of joy at hearing that, and decided to ask a question.
“So if this is all caused by rebound, how did I not notice till now, shouldn’t there be signs or something?”
“Oh, there are usually starts as a frequent nosebleed that get more and more severe till the bleeding spreads to the eyes and ears.” Oh, so that what those nosebleeds were…
“Well thank you miss, for look over me. And may I have your name.” I bowed from my bed and asked earnestly.
I then heard a snort and looked back at her, “Sure you can know my name, but I’m not a miss I’m a mister. Oh and the name is Carcajou Rexus.”
First I felt stunned, then I felt terrified. My dad had given me a list of names of people not to fuck with under any circumstances. Carcajou Rexus is near the top and for good reason, and yes he's definitely a dude.
“You mean you-”
“Yep, the legendary alchemist and kingdom killer, Carcajou Rexus.”
I had been nursed back to health by a person who killed his home kingdom, and he's also a dude.
Carcajou looked to his phone, and back to me “Well, I’m leaving now and going to give the nurse back her room, I’ll see you around Mule or should I say... well you know who your father is.” That sent chills down my spine
“You know my father?” He just smirked and waved his hand, and suddenly I felt very tired, and soon there was nothing but black.
