Arthur:"I can't see well... "
He felt as though he was not in his own body,numbness was spread all over his body in an haphazard manner and his eyes were blurry,straining it any further caused his eyes to flare with abundance of pain that quickly shot towards his head.
After closing the wound take some rest and eat some food,the ley we hunted is still there and it's meat has a lot of iron,it would be enough to replenish some blood.
The voice was silent for a few moments as Arthur set himself upright,persisting through agony,the pressure exerted on his torso increased and he could feel his guts and blood trying to burst forth from his wound.
The voice spoke again.
After you are sure you can walk again we can go to the village nearby and meet Selera,she has healing type mark so she can heal you and get your blood levels to a stable amount.
Arthur:"What if the assassin is there?"
She's probably already dead,since the blade you used to cut her was laced with poison.Maybe we can find her body and loot it,It'll definitely have plenty of goods for us,she 'was' from 'our' family after all.
Even if she was alive,the poison was from the Vileberry plants,you need an abstract level philosopher to heal it, Selera is the only healer in that village and she is only a described rank healer.So she would probably be in a hurry to get back home to get treated.
....and getting there in time? Chances?
,Close to zero.
Arthur chuckled as he grabbed the Med kit he always had with himself.
Thankfully the Med kit didn't fall far from him and it even got opened after hitting the walls during his Kerfuffle with the assassin,freeing him of the agonising effort of trying to unlock it.
Arthur:"Can't believe they even sent assassins to kill me after already doing that to me."
As he had yet to awaken a soul core,which is essential for him to even get a mark and also provide him with fuel to activate his mark,he was banished from the family.
He was the eldest son of the head of the severa family,a duke family of the lavestia empire.
His family was regarded as one of the strongest families in the empire,even having the bloodline trait for their marks.
Marks are normally placed uniquely for a single individual,although it is not uncommon for there to be more than one person having the same mark,the mark was never passed down.
Except for the marks with a bloodline trait.
The person having a mark that has the bloodline trait can pass it down to their children,at some times even to their partner.
But this trait can only be attained by individuals carrying a vague rank mark,which is so rare that the number of individuals that have attained it in the canals of history is only around 20.
And history has been recorded by the first magic book,Archgenia,for close to 10,000 years.even if there are plenty of holes in it,Archgenia had even recorded the first man to Wield a mark about 6,340 years ago.
And as such his family along with two more families who have acquired the bloodline trait and are capable of bringing about offspring that shall definitely carry a vague mark for eternity have the same level of authority as the imperial family.
And yet...
As the only man to be born without awakening his soul core,Arthur was alienated,they kept him until he was 18 and when he didn't awaken despite all that waiting,they gave up on him.
The Vassals and most of the bloodline of severa decided to strip him of the position of heir,which he gladly gave up to his younger sister Maya.
He was really loved by his parents and siblings,he even wondered if he was the most loved.
So when the elders of the Severa Decided to banish him out of the severa family and orphan him,his family, true family was obviously outraged.
And yet,one of the elders did something,something so vile that he would have rather been orphaned.
The elder known as rowan,had severed him from his family's memories.
Arthur:"*sniff*....haaaa."
.....i'm...*sigh*
Unable to see his Parents look at him as though he was a stranger Arthur decided to run away with a few of his belongings,not wanting to fall victim to rowan and forget them as well.
But since he carried some secrets of the family as the former heir,the elders along with.....
....with his own father.
Decided to send assassins and kill him to keep him silent.
If that wasn't enough,he was.....terminally-ill.
Perhaps that was the true reason they did this to him.
There was likely no women that would truly love him as he would die soonly.
There was no family that is there to love him as he was forgotten and there was seemingly no way to return those memories.
He had not awakened a soul core and could not garner power or money to at least extend his life now,atleast when he was with his family they had enough money to easily extend his life.
Arthur:"A year....."
Sewing the wound whilst his vision was weakened and hindered by the dim lighting was a difficult task, even more so due to the harrowing pain caused by the strain of his eyes.
He had around a year or so amount of time left to live.
He wondered why his illness was never cured despite the unfathomable power possessed by humans.
Arthur:"I guess the world just wants me gone."
He chuckled once more in a depressing manner.
He had finally stitched his wound shut with out a problem,each time he pulled and pierced his own flesh,pain erupted from that area,seemingly increased in power from his fear of accidentally damaging his intestines.
He could feel his organs in slight disarray as he touched his work.
Arthur:"There,happy now?"
He asked the younger voice in his head,turning to the side as though he could see some one.
The voice stayed silent for a few seconds before finally speaking.
Now I keep 'our' end of the deal.
