บท 25: First spell. - part 2

It took a while for Arthur's thoughts to clear again, and not waiting for his vision to become normal again, he grabbed the hem of the coat the nurse was wearing and asked. - I... Were my sister and I really adopted? - Arthur was extremely surprised by this news, and even a little worried.

- Yes, the paperwork is still in process, but everything should be sorted out by tomorrow. - She stopped talking and looked at Arthur. Seeing that he was calmer, she suggested. - If you wish, I can inquire with the adopting administration, as they may have the information. - Said the nurse as she held Arthur's hand to give him some comfort, to prevent him from getting upset again.

After hearing that he and his sister had been adopted, Arthur was silent for several seconds, and only when almost a full minute had passed and his vision was clear again did he move; Arthur turned his head towards Julia and looked deep into her eyes, after the bonding process Arthur's eyes were no longer light brown, they had become very similar to Samantha's eyes, they were a strong crimson hue, when he glared at the nurse with obvious hostility, she almost took a step back; In an attempt to ease the tension, she forced herself to smile at Arthur.

Seeing the smile on her face, Arthur's anger softened, but his concern for his sister still didn't diminish at all, so he couldn't help asking anxiously.

- My sister, how is she? Has she gone to live outside the hospital? Can whoever adopt us look after her? She needs physiotherapy every day, and she also needs... - Arthur spoke like a child, but his concerns were not those a child should have, which made the nurse look at him with a kind look mixed with a look of pity.

- They didn't give me the details, but I can take a look for you. - She said this while still trying to comfort Arthur and smiling at him. - When you were admitted, the hospital received a transfer order, so as soon as you're discharged you should be taken straight to your new address. - She said this while typing something into her cell phone. After sending a message, she put the phone away and continued. - I've been told that your sister is still in hospital, after you've been discharged the two of you will go together to your new home.

Hearing this, Arthur felt much calmer, but he still asked again. - Do you know who adopted me? Taking care of my sister won't be cheap... - Arthur said with obvious concern in his voice.

- I'll look, just a minute. - While she was answering, she took out her cell phone again and started typing something. After a few seconds of typing, she sent it and smiled at Arthur. - Just wait now, would you like something to eat in the meantime? - She asked as she stood up.

- Uh-huh. - Arthur just nodded and wondered who had adopted him.

After Arthur nodded, the nurse left the room, and Arthur was left alone. While alone, he stared at the cupboard containing his belongings, feeling the urge to go there. Instead of studying, he felt the strong desire to contact the orphanage and inquire about the situation, this desire remained firm for a while as he stared at the cupboard and after a few moments without realizing it a blue light bloomed in his eyes, it gradually took shape until the mark of a triquetra appeared in his eyes accompanied by a refreshing and cozy sensation that ran through his entire body, the pain and dizziness that he had been feeling until then began to slowly disappear along with the tiredness and even hunger was being eliminated; incredibly Arthur managed not to notice the sensations in his body, at the moment he was in a kind of trance as he stared at the cupboard.

Arthur had already given up on getting up and going to the cupboard because of his previous failures; however, despite giving up on getting up he still wanted to go to the cupboard and get his things, and this childish contradiction made him stare at the cupboard until something strange happened. Arthur was stunned to realize that the cupboard he had been staring at for so long was in front of him, there was only a finger's width between him and the cupboard, he was standing and there was no feeling of weakness, he actually felt strangely strong at the moment, much stronger than he had ever felt in his entire life and this feeling brought him instant confidence and happiness, he felt he could go anywhere, and this feeling made him forget why he wanted to go to the cupboard, at the moment he just wanted to test it and see if he could do it again; Arthur stared at the bed as he tried to follow what Samantha had told him and also the feeling he had had earlier, he stared at the bed for a few seconds before he found himself standing on his bed, seeing that he could actually teleport Arthur became exasperated and even started jumping on the bed while laughing.

While Arthur was celebrating the nurse entered the room again holding a tray with soup and some chopped fruit on the side, when she opened the door she was smiling and ready to talk to Arthur about who had adopted him, but when she saw the scene inside the room the smile on her face became forced and erratic, even the tray she was holding wobbled for a moment and she almost dropped it.

When he heard the cutlery fall to the floor, Arthur realized someone had entered the room. He stopped jumping and turned to Julia. Seeing her stunned expression, he scowled a little and ended up saying embarrassed. - ... I... got better - Arthur stared at her blankly after saying this. Julia was surprised that a boy who was exhausted and unable to sit up was jumping on the bed so energetically, but what left her speechless for a moment was the blue mark in his eyes, looking at that mark she felt a little instinctive fear, she had the feeling that that mark could devour her, the feeling was similar to that of a herbivorous animal when it encounters its predator, and this made her unconsciously look away from Arthur's eyes, as soon as she did this the disturbing feeling disappeared, then she put the tray on the table and looked at Arthur's face still avoiding focusing on his eyes again.

After observing Arthur's face for a while, it became clear to her that the previous symptoms had disappeared, and remembering the mark that was shining in his eyes, she realized what had happened and smiled at Arthur before speaking. - Congratulations! Your fusion was a success. - After saying this, she paused to think about something for a second, then continued. - You'll probably be discharged tomorrow; the doctor just needs to observe you for a day to make sure everything is okay. - After speaking this far, she reached into her pocket for her cell phone. After unlocking the screen, she was about to write a message, when she heard Arthur's voice.

- Well... You started it, the fusion only happens when you manage to use your soul to strengthen your body... - After talking this far, she frowned and looked at Arthur's situation again, and after pondering for a moment, she said. - Your fusion is well above average, as far as I remember it takes almost a month to make a fusion to the port of creating any characteristic at that level... - she commented as she thought about Arthur's eyes.

- So, I'm great, right? - Arthur was pleased and smiled at Julia while showing off a bit.

- Of course, I think that's why you were adopted by the principal.

Arthur was stunned as he listened to the nurse's words, even his proud smile got a little silly at the moment, it was only a few seconds later that he asked. - Did the principal adopt us? - He asked with a slightly doubtful expression.

- Yes. - Julia answered calmly, and after a moment's thought she said. - Her name is Clare.

- Clare? - Arthur felt that he had heard this name before, but as he couldn't remember it he quickly put it aside, after all, several people must have this name and he could have heard it anywhere; he asked for some more information, but Julia didn't know much, she just asked who had adopted him and passed on only this information.

After asking around for a while and getting no satisfactory answers, Arthur decided to give up and started eating the food Julia had brought him; After finishing, he stretched and started talking to Julia to pass the time. During this conversation, a helicopter passed close to the hospital and its noise caught Arthur and Julia's attention. They both looked at the helicopter not far away. The helicopter, which bore the symbol of the fire department, seemed to be going somewhere urgently and it didn't take long for it to be barely visible to both of them, who looked away to continue talking, however, at this moment, Arthur, who was turning his head, disappeared right before Julia's eyes.

Julia ended up being stunned for a few seconds when she saw that Arthur had simply disappeared, and she didn't know how to react, she just kept looking around the room; after several seconds she got up and took out her cell phone and made a call, while the phone was calling, she looked at the window, and at that moment she ended up looking in the direction that the helicopter was coincidentally, after looking at the scene in the window she ended up dropping her cell phone at that moment.

"This is already the second chapter where the last paragraph has disappeared when viewed on cell phones. To avoid this, I've decided to duplicate this message at the end of each chapter, hoping it will resolve the issue. If you're reading this, I apologize if it's intrusive, but it's a better solution than leaving the chapter incomplete."
