章 102: Arleth
*SWOOSH* after a few hours of waiting for things to calm down Hayato, Alyra, Maya, Wade, and the still unconscious Dye being carried by Hayato appeared inside a mansion
They appeared next to the City Lord surprising him a lot, he was with the Captain that doesn't seem to be as surprised as him. Both men were sitting next to a bed where Kara was unconsciously covered by a thin white blanket
" How is she? " Said Alyra keeping her eyes on Kara
" The Captain brought her just a few minutes ago, she seems to be stable but she isn't showing any signs of waking up " Answered the City Lord with a concerned expression
Alyra makes a thoughtful expression and says " Mmm... Maya, can you help me with the healing? your Light Magic is far better than mine "
Maya grins cockily at Alyra and says " Yeah, whatever, but still, I have a serious matter to talk with her about when she wakes up "
All the presents saw Maya with doubt except for Hayato, after all, they haven't met before, or did they?
While the rest were thinking that seeing Maya, Hayato was staring at Kara with a frowning expression, he noticed through the blanket that Kara has lost all her limbs leaving her cripple, so he clenched his fists and narrow his eyes
Maya walked next to the bed then she sits next to Kara pointing both hands at her. Her left hand is above her stomach and her right hand is above her head. Maya closes her eyes and whispered " Blessed Light Healing " Then the entire room shines in a white light making all those seeing them narrow their eyes at how intense the light was ' Yeah, definitely stronger ' Thought Alyra with a smile
Kara's body shinned white for a few seconds then went back to normal
*SIGHS* Maya sighs softly, and opens her eyes once again, and turns to see them with a serious expression " Her life isn't in danger but... " Then she turns to see Kara and continues " I couldn't do anything about her limbs, unfortunately, I won't be able to do anything until I increase my strength... I don't know how much time it will take to reach the necessary power... I suggest she rests even when she wakes up, maybe a couple of days more "
The Captain and the City Lord made sad expressions, but they didn't lose hope for Kara's recovery, they just need to wait for Maya, but the problem was Kara herself, they both thought about what will happen when she woke up and how will she react. What she will think? She maybe ends up losing her will to live, the simple thought of that made them very anxious
Then Hayato says " City Lord, this is maybe inopportune, but can you spare me a room for Dye? She doesn't seem to be okay right now "
The City Lord turns to see him and with a sad smile, he says " No problem " then he turns to see the Captain and says " Captain can you guide him, please? "
Then Captain nods and stands then he says " Come with me please " then he walks towards the door while Hayato turns to see Maya, Alyra, and Wade and says " Come with me, we have something to talk about "
Maya and Alyra made faces of doubt, but Wade just nods then Hayato sees the City Lord and with a frowning expression and says " Don't worry, I will do something about Kara's situation after we finish "
The City Lord couldn't help to nod with a surprised expression as he sees them leave the room
After walking through the mansion, the Captain stops near a room and opens it saying to them " You can use this room "
Hayato nods and says " Thanks, now can you leave us alone? We need to talk about something privately, go with the City Lord, I will go there in after it "
The Captain nods and says " Alright, I will be waiting in Kara's room then " and he leaves
Hayato nods and all of them enter the room. The room was as wide as Kara's room but with fewer decorations, it only has a few furnishings and a bed
Hayato walks to the bed and puts Dye in the bed softly, then Alyra behind him says " Hayato, we need to wait until Dye wakes up to talk, it will be better that way "
Hayato shakes his head then he says seeing Dye with a calm face " How long will you keep pretending Dye? "
Alyra, Maya, and Wade were a bit surprised but then Dye sat on the bed, and with a sad expression she... " Haha... of course, you found out "
Maya frowns and says " Since when are you awake? "
Dye bows her head, keeping her sad smile and avoiding seeing them, then she says " Since we arrived at the mansion "
" From the start, heh " Said Maya with a wry smile then Alyra says " Why Dye? "
Dye shakes her head slightly and doesn't respond, then Hayato says " It's about what happened with that woman Isabella, no? "
Dye shivered and Hayato continues " I knew from the moment we met that you knew a demon and that Deamon was her, right? "
Dye clenches her fists and nods slowly, while Alyra and Maya were a little surprised, after all, this was the first time they heard that
' That's why she lost her mind when she appeared ' Thought Wade seeing her
" Dye... " Said Alyra with worry, then Hayato says " Dye, we need to know why you hate that woman so much, we don't want you to charge against her again as you did before, she almost killed you for being so reckless "
Dye shakes her head a few times and with a hoarse voice she says " I'm... not ready... I don't want to do it yet... " she seems to be on the verge of crying right now
Hayato walks towards her and pats her head making her shiver slightly then he says " Don't worry Dye, remember we are here for you, no matter how much time it takes we will wait until you are ready, ok? Even if you never want to talk about it, it isn't a problem "
Dye embraces Hayato by the waist, hiding her face on his stomach, then she nods. Maya, Alyra, and Wade smiled and after a couple of minutes Hayato says " Ok, Dye you can let me go, I have to go to see the City Lord "
But Dye tightens her embrace, clenching Hayato's clothes, and suddenly she says " Arleth... call me Arleth, that is my true name " surprising them
Hayato makes a wry smile and pats Arleth's head once again saying " Ok Arleth, now do you want to come with us to see the City Lord? "
Arleth separates her face from Hayato's stomach and with a crying face but she had a small smile on her face then she says " Yes "
Arleth stands from the bed and smiles at Alyra and Maya that were seeing her with concerned expressions then she says " It's ok, let's go "
Then they left the room and went towards Kara's room again, there the City Lord and the Captain were waiting sitting next to Kara's bed
Hayato walked next to the unconscious Kara and the City Lord told him " What are you planning to do? Do you have a better healing method than Lady Maya used? "
Hayato turns to see him and says " Ni but she will be able to walk and move again, she won't be completely healed, besides, it could have some abnormal changes in her body "
All the presents open their eyes wide with surprise then the City Lord stands from his chair and with anger says " No way I will allow that! She has suffered enough to now let her live with some kind of deformity! "
Hayato sees him with borrowed eyes, and he says coldly " You think I don't know that? Besides, as far as I remember most of her suffering was caused by you " The City Lord shivered and bowed his head in shame clenching his fists tightly then Hayato turns to see Kara again and continues " This will be temporal, it will make her life normal until Maya can heal her "
" It's worth a try, City Lord " Said the Captain as he stands and pats the City Lord's shoulder, he nods to say " Forgive me for what I said, so please continue "
Hayato nods and extends his hand opening his palm then he says " Quicht " and a black orb with a strange symbol appeared in his palm
Maya, Alyra, Arleth, and Wade seeing the orb was surprised and Maya said " The Commandment of faith? "
Then Hayato puts the orb above Kara's chest that then entered her body. Kara shivers slightly, and suddenly her arms and legs grew again, but they were monstrous looking, thick, and with dark claws
The City Lord and the Captain could help but see Kara with horror but neither of them say anything
' That is something like the thing Hayato gave me, but why does she look like Hayato when he was using that dark power? And I'm not? ' Thought Alyra with confusion seeing Kara
Hayato sees Kara with a frowning expression and thinks ' If she wakes up and sees this it could be bad besides her own Commandment could affect her, I know her and she lost her faith in her father ' Hayato makes a thoughtful expression and thinks ' Syt, can you help me with this? Is there a way to seal the Commandments' powers and give them full control over them? '
[ ' .... ' ] Syt stayed silent for a few seconds but Hayato waited until Syt responded [ ' Full power manipulation, could help, it can be created with system points, but each use will cost around 10,000 System Points and the creation of the ability will cost 20,000 System Points ' ]
' How many points I have left '
[ ' 222,000 System Points ' ]
' Alright create that thing, then I will use both on Alyra and Kara ' Thought Hayato with a serious expression
[ ' -20,000 System Points ' ]
[ ' 202,000 System Points remaining ' ]
[ ' Processing.... ' ]
Hayato was a little surprised after all it was the first time he experienced something like it then
[ ' Process completed, to use the ability the user needs to touch the person to modify, remember that each use requires 10,000 System Points and to activate the Commandments the ones who have then need to concentrate to make them work again ' ]
" Alright " Hayato whispered then he touches Kara's forehead and thinks ' I will have to train Alyra and Kara after this now... now use it! '
[ ' -10,000 System Points ' ]
[ ' 192,000 System Points remaining ' ]
And once again Kara shivered, but this time her arms and legs changed again looking almost normal again if they weren't completely black
" Woah, they are almost human again " Said Alyra with an astonished look, Maya, as well as the rest, was surprised but the most relived one seemed to be the City Lord who made a long sigh
Hayato turns around and signals her to approach him Alyra looked confused but still, she approached Hayato, and when she was in front of him, she says " What's wrong Hayato? "
Hayato smiles at her and puts his right hand on her shoulder then he thinks ' Do it once again ' and...
[ ' -10,000 System Points ' ]
[ ' 182,000 System Points remaining ' ]
Alyra closes her eyes like she was enjoying the sensation then she opened them again while smiling and says " What did you do? That felt refreshing "
" I will explain to you later " He said to her with a smile then he turns to see the City Lord and says " Maybe Kara will be confused about the change in her body, so when she wakes up call for any of us, and we will explain her everything "
The City Lord nods and says " Thank you very much "
" Alyra and I will come every hour to check her condition, we don't want any complications " Said Maya with a calm face seeing the City Lord then Hayato says " We will use your backyard to train, City Lord, well at least these two " he said as he pointed at Maya and Alyra who both look at him with confusion
" You two need to do the next step " Said Hayato with a serious face making the see him in the same way
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of days later
" Mmm... " A woman moaned as she stretches her body under the blanket, she was completely covered by them from head to toe. The bed was quite large and luxurious, just like the room where she is
Suddenly she uncovers her head revealing her beautiful and shiny Azure hair and a beautiful sleeping face, that woman was none other than Kara, she seems to be sleeping very peacefully, but despite that, she begins to show signs of waking up, unknowingly, Kara has been watched for a long time
The City Lord sees that Kara was about to wake up, he stands in a hurry and runs towards the room door, opening it fast. Outside standing next to the door was Captain and when the city lord see him he says in a hurry " Captain, bring young lady Alyra please, Kara is waking up "
The Captain looks surprised and happy at the same time, then he nods and leaves the place running as fast as he could
The City Lord then walks back and pulls his chair next to Kara's bed, he leans his face towards her and begins to say softly " Kara... Kara... " trying to make her react
Kara's face began to twitch a little, and then she began to open her eyes very slowly, seeing this the City Lord's smile grew wide but when she opens her eyes he noticed the changes and couldn't help to make a sad smile seeing her
Kara's eyes were now black-purple, which means that Hayato was right about more side effects. Kara was in a daze seeing the roof of the room with half-closet eyes then she blinks a few times, and says softly " What happened...? Where am I...? "
She then moves her head slowly from right to left that's when her eyes land on her father, she opens her eyes slightly, and frowns a bit it seems that she is still mad with him, so she says " Why are you here...? "
The City Lord made a sad expression hearing her daughter's cold words but still, he was planning to make amends for everything he has done no matter what the cost is or no matter how much time will take he will win Kara's forgiveness
" Kara, listen, I..... " The City Lord makes a sad smile and was about to talk but suddenly the door opened and three people entered a handsome red-haired man, a beautiful black-haired woman, and the Captain
Kara sees the two unfamiliar people with a frowning expression, especially the beautiful woman, who seems to be scanning her, which makes her very uncomfortable, then
" Lady Dye, Mr. Wade " Said the city Lord with a humble expression making Kara frown deeply, after all, she remembers that the last time his father behaved like that was with Zeran and things didn't end well, so she became suspicious of them but she still decided to wait, maybe she will find an opening to leave the place again
The man named Wade smiled wryly hearing the City Lord while the woman named Dye just smiled slightly and say " Please don't call us so respectfully, you don't owe us anything, and please... could you refer to me as Arleth from now on? "
The City Lord smiles and nods " As you wish Lady Arleth but I can't if it wasn't for you all, my daughter could be dead right now "
Kara makes a face of doubt but before she could say anything Arleth says " It wasn't us it was Hayato's doing for the most part, you should give your respects to him, not to us "
" That's right it's a little uncomfortable, well for me at least " Said Wade with a wry smile, the Captain and the City Lord made small smiles while Kara didn't hear anything else after she heard Hayato's name
" Hayato...? " Kara whispered making a tender expression remembering Hayato's face, she sits on the bed making a grim expression at the effort she had to put to do so, it seems that she still was very weak
Everyone turns to see Kara and Arleth says " Calm down, you don't need to hurry up things, you still need to get used to the Commandment, besides you are still pretty weak "
Kara turns to see Arleth's face and says " Commandment? What do you mean? " After that, the city lord and the Captain made sad expressions while Arleth and Wade made serious ones
Arleth points at the blanket and says " Why don't you uncover your hands and check it yourself? "
Kara begins to worry seeing her father and the Captain's faces but still, she takes out her hands from under the blanket and when she saw them she opens her eyes widely and whispers " What is this? "
Kara's hands were completely black and it seems that all of her arms were black as well, but thanks to the long-sleeved shirt she was wearing she hasn't noticed it before, besides she doesn't feel uncomfortable at all her hands were just black, not monstrous or anything else
" Not only your arms are like that, but your legs are also in that state as well " Arleth said with a calm expression
Kara removes the bedsheets completely this time, getting a full view of her legs, and thanks that she was wearing shorts, she saw that her legs, they were black to her thighs
Kara with wide-open eyes and a mouth slightly open begins to move her feet toes, she doesn't say a word for a few seconds, she only sees her hands and legs with the same surprised expression as before, so Arleth speaks " You lost all your extremities thanks to that guy named Zeran, so Hayato recovered them with one of his powers, you have to deal with it until Maya, one of our partners reaches the level of an Intermediate Immortal Magic Swordsman, once she reaches that leave she will be able to regenerate them back "
Kara nods slightly and a blank expression appears on her face so no one there knew what she was thinking, then Arleth continues " At the start of Hayato's healing, your arms and legs were monstrous with claws and very thick, but he corrected them after a few minutes saying that it was worth the effort, I think you need to see him, after all, Alyra and you seem to share the same power, she is training with him right now not far from the mansion "
" Kara... " Said the City Lord with concern and then Kara turns to see Arleth with the same blank expression and said " Can you take me with him now? "
" Kara, you need to rest, it hasn't passed more than two days since you came back " Said the City Lord with the same concerned expression " That's right Kara, your body hasn't regained all of its strength yet, besides you haven't eaten since then " Said the Captain with a serious expression
But... " I'm used to that " said Kara with a frowning expression as both men fell silent at her comment then Kara sees Arleth with a cold expression and says " Take me with him "
Arleth grins slightly making an amused face and says " Alright then, come with me if you can " then she begins to walk towards the door while Wade followed behind, he sent an apologetic smile to the City Lord and the Captain that couldn't do anything else than sight with resignation
Kara tries to stand as fast as she could off the bed, but with the expression, she was making, this was a challenge for her. The City Lord and the Captain try to help her, but she sent them a defiant look and says " I can do it myself, I don't need your help "
The City Lord makes a pained expression but nods while the Captain just steps back, then Kara stands and begins to walk at a very slow pace toward the door
When Kara leaves the room, in the hallway where Wade and Arleth waiting for her, Arleth smiles teasingly at her and says " If you don't hurry we will leave you behind "
Kara frowns slightly and nodded, then Arleth and Wade begin to walk again with Kara following them trying to maintain their pace, she noticed that the Captain and the City Lord were following her very close it seems that they were there just in case she fell, but her stubbornness won't let that happen
After a while of walking, the group left the mansion and Kara managed to keep the pace, It was difficult for Kara but still, she made it, and not even once did she need the help from Captain or the City Lord
The backside of the mansion was different now, the yard was wider than the front yard it even has a small forest and a lake
Near the forest was Hayato standing with his arms crossed, seeing the sky with a frowning expression
Wade watches in the direction that Hayato was seeing, making a serious expression, while Arleth smiles sweetly at Hayato even when he hasn't turned to see them, then she turns to see Kara behind her and says " There he is... " but before she could say anything else Kara passes beside her ignoring her previous words, which Arleth just reacts with an amused smile seeing her walk toward Hayato
The City Lord and the Captain watched Kara walk with difficulty towards Hayato who still hasn't turned to see them, he was concentrated on the sky, so the Captain turns to see the sky and smiled, but the City Lord keeps seeing Kara with serious expression after all he was concerned about what she could do, maybe she blames Hayato for what happened to her arms and legs
Kara walked slowly towards Hayato and when she was close to him, he said without turning to see her " What are you doing here? You should be resting right now "
Kara doesn't respond to him so Hayato turns to see her and when he did that *SLAP* Kara slaps his face as hard as she could, the City Lord and Arleth who were still seeing them make surprised expressions but Arleth begins to frown seeing Kara, still she doesn't move or say anything
The slap that Hayato received looked very hard, but it only made him move his head slightly, he smiles mockingly as he turns to see Kara again then he says " Tell me something, every time you will experience something bad, you will attack me after? "
Kara's frowning expression begins to crumble until she begins to cry with relief and sadness, then she walks closer to Hayato and leans her head in his chest while Hayato watches her with doubt then she says " Why did you take so long? "
Hayato makes a guilty expression then he smiles and says " Well, you are really hard to find after all "
Kara takes a step back and smiles at Hayato, she still has some tears coming down her eyes, The City Lord and the Captain look at her with complicated expressions, they both knew that Kara's feelings have bloomed for Hayato, but there is a problem...
*SWOOSH* Suddenly a few steps near them a woman landed in a flash, surprising Kara who saw the woman with a surprised expression, the woman wears shiny silver armor and was a beautiful red hair woman, but what surprised Kara was that the woman has two long black energy wings coming from her back, the color of the woman's wings was identical to her now arms and legs
" It's good to see you awake, how are you feeling? " Said the woman to Kara with a happy smile, which made Kara look at her with doubt
" Oh! I'm sorry, I forgot that I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Alyra Lionheart, I'm one of Hayato's partners and one of the two that have been healing you " Alyra makes a lady-like bow as she said that, Kara makes a surprised face and bows the same way as Alyra saying " I appreciate your help Alyra my name is Kara Pearce, but please call me Kara "
Alyra smiles at her, but Kara seems to be uncomfortable with her presence, maybe because of how friendly Alyra is, after all, Kara doesn't have anyone who can call her friend besides Hayato
They were seeing each other for a couple of seconds until *SWOOSH* another woman fall from the sky and landed gracefully next to Alyra and just like her, she was wearing armor. The woman's beauty was above Alyra's, she has short light brown hair and emerald eyes, and she seems to be seeing Kara with annoyance, that woman was Maya
Kara's eyes grow wide like plates as she sees Maya like she doesn't believe what she was seeing " You....? " Then her face changes to one of anger, and she says " Why are you here, Vania?! "
Maya frowns deeper but everyone else who heard her begins to make faces of doubt, after all, Kara seems to know Maya but with a different name
Kara inspects her closely and says again " No, you are not her, but why do you look exactly like her? what are you from her? "
Maya unsheathes her sword and points it at Kara, making Kara frown deeper while the others saw them with surprise " I don't know what are you talking about "
