Chereads / The Priestess of Rodona / Chapter 66 - Chapter 66

Chapter 66 - Chapter 66

When Jaana saw in what shape her husband as she was glad that he had survived but still sad as no he was crippled as long as he got used to his new arm and leg.

Now how would they make a living? Jaana asked from herself as in that state the church probably won't take him back as a paladin.

But Jaana didn't yet know that they were now hunted down by the church, making them one of the most wanted enemies there.

"Where is Elvire? Where is my daughter?" Jaana asked more worriedly as if her husband was in that kind of a state, then what about her daughter?

What could happen to her?

"Jaana, don't do anything stupid, okay? Your daughter is alright, but she might look a little bit different from what you last remember." Falmir said while looking at Jaana worriedly.

"I don't care about it at all; she's my daughter, and I want to see her now!" Jaana was getting more and more agitated by Falmir's words and was fearing the worst.

But when Falmir finally took Jaana to her daughter, she was puzzled about it.

The girl that was laying on the bed obviously should be her daughter.

She had the same face where there was a scar that marked her. 

But otherwise, there wasn't anything else she recognized from her, but still, she knew in her heart that the girl laying in the bed was her daughter.

"What happened to her? Why is my daughter looking like that? Is everything alright with her?" Jaana was asking constant questions while stroking her daughter's face gently to calm her down.

Before Falmir could say anything, the eccentric old man shouted.

"It is better to explain it on a table with a cup of tea. Or do you drink tea at all? We also have other choices here? And your husband has woken up, so let's wait for him to get better, then I will explain everything, and Falmir wants probably add something to it also."

When Levin woke up, there were lots of questions going on in his mind.

'Where am I? Why can I not feel my arms? Where is my family?' These questions were especially surfacing on his mind constantly.

He tried automatically to stand up and take hold from the bed end to get a better grip, but he fell down instantly, and Jaana rushed immediately to his side and helped him up to the bed.

"My dear, don't rush the things and take them easily, okay? You have lost your arm and leg, and they have been replaced by a prosthesis, so you have to get used to them my dear slowly." Jaana said while offering her shoulder to Levin and helping him up and supporting him.

"What has happened and where is Elvire and where we are?" Levin asked Jaana and Jaana just smiled sweetly back to him and hushed him down.

"Even I don't know but soon we will know let's just slowly start walking towards that table there where they are waiting for us. And my dear one step at the time. No rushing." 

They slowly started to walk even when it was difficult first to Levin and he would have fallen down many times without Jaana's support he started to get the hang of it and getting more used to his new leg and feeling more comfortable with it.

Soon he couldn't stop himself from trying to walk without any support.

Jaana just looked at her husband having fun and falling and getting back to up again and again before he got tired of it and sat down with the help of Jaana.

"I have made crutches to you help you with the walking for now, then later you could probably move to a walking stick." The old man said while looking at Levin.

He was surprised as there weren't many like him who immediately would try to walk most of the patients would usually break down first and cry for their bad luck. So Levin, who immediately started to walk and practice, was a model example of what hard work could bring. Without practice, you would never get used to your new leg.

"Thank you, mister?" Levin said and realized that they hadn't been introduced yet.

"Tavon is enough no need misters for it.

I'm the doctor that nursed and looked after you. As one little rascal pleaded me to do it." Tavon answered while looking at Falmir.

"Thank you, Tavon, and can you tell now why our daughter looks like that?" Jaana asked from Tavon.

"Hmm, I guess I could, but Falmir has to start it," Tavon said while waiting for Falmir to start.

"Yes, I will start the story and explain what I did see after arriving there," Falmir said and started to explain what has happened.

He started to speak and explain detail by detail what happened when he arrived at the scene and what he saw, and he finally ended the story by these words.

"So Vicimar was defending her because she was related to Rodona, and the church forces wanted to eliminate you two and capture Elvire because of it."

There was a long silence after it, and Jaana or Levin didn't know what to say at all; they just silently gathered their thoughts and tried to add the pieces together and melt them down.
