Chapter 195 - Chapter 195 A Magical Dagger

As they entered another room Thomas sat down against one of the walls and said "I'm gonna take a minute." Lily stared at him and said "You've been breathing heavily ever since we got out of that bone filled room." Poppy glanced at Lily and said "That's because he's been exhausting most of his mana." Thomas stared at the roof of the room and said "I already told you I'm fine." Lily pointed at him and said "Stop lying to us, your hurt." As he stood up and leaned against the wall he said "I'm fine just a little tired." Poppy pointed at him and said "Then sit back down for a while." Thomas glanced at her and began to walk across the room to what appeared to be a pedestal as he said "I'll take it easy when we're not in such a dangerous place." Lily rushed over to him and said "Please rest for a little while." Thomas glanced at her and reached out for the pedestal as he said "Let me just see what this is first, and then I'll exhaust the last bit of my mana to get us out of here." As he stuck his hand on the pedestal the room began to change. Thomas glanced around the room as swords and armor surrounded them. Lily looked around at all of the stuff and asked "What's all of this?" As Thomas took his hand off of the pedestal a dagger was now sitting on top of it. Thomas stared at the dagger and picked it up as he mumbled "What's this?" Poppy hopped off of Thomas's shoulder and onto the pedestal as she said "Maybe we've reached the end of the dungeon." Thomas put his arms on the pedestal and laid his head down as he mumbled "Thats a relief." Thomas glanced up at the wall and seen words as he read out loud "After claiming some of the riches this room will transport you above the dungeon." Lily picked up bracelet and said "I want this!" Thomas glanced at her and said "Looks like I don't have to waste all of my mana." Poppy pointed to the bracelet Lily was wearing and asked "Do you think it's a talisman?" Lily raised her hand to her face and stared at it as she said "Your right it might have some sort of magical properties." As they appeared above the ground outside of the door to the dungeon Lily Stared at Thomas and asked "What did you get?" Thomas held up the dagger and said "I grabbed whatever was closest." Lily stared at him and said "You risked your life and didn't even bother to consider grabbing something else." Thomas put the dagger on his side and said "It doesn't really matter to me I'm just glad we finally got out." As they walked back to the village Thomas yawned and said "That was more exhausting then I thought it would be." Poppy stared at him and said "It's your own fault, your the one who wanted to go through it." Thomas glanced at her and said "Yeah I know, I probably should've taken it easy until the boat was done being built." Lily continued to stare at the bracelet as she said "Come on do something!" Thomas pointed to it and said "Maybe it just doesn't do anything." Lily glanced at Thomas and shouted "Seriously a room full of treasure and I didn't even grab a magical item." Thomas grabbed the dagger and waved it around as he said "I don't know why but the item I grabbed is giving me a strange feeling." Lily stared at it and asked "Maybe it's magical?" Thomas handed her the dagger and said "If you wanna try be my guest." Lily stared at the dagger in amazement as she said "You'll seriously let me try and figure it out?" Thomas nodded and said "If you figure it out let me know." Lily continued to stare at the dagger as she smiled and said "Okay I'll do my best to figure it out." As Thomas glanced back at her she swung the blade and said "I'll figure it out for sure!" As she lowered the blade Thomas fell to the ground and coughed up some blood as he mumbled "I think I know what it does." Lily quickly rushed over to him and asked "What happened?" Thomas pointed to the sword and mumbled "It can cut people internally." Poppy stared at him and sighed as she said "You should've tried it out later." Lily dropped the dagger and rolled him over as she asked "Are you okay?" Thomas put his thumb up and said "I'm fine I just need a minute." As he stood up he held his stomach and said "You can keep the dagger, I probably won't use it." Lily picked the dagger back up and put it away as she held onto Thomas's side and said "I'm sorry." Thomas continued to hold his stomach as he mumbled "It's fine." As they began to walk away Lily glanced at him and said "Lean on me for support." As they made it back to the village a man approached Thomas and Lily as he said "Your the new pirate king right?" Lily glanced at Thomas and said "He's probably here to pick a fight." The man took another step towards Thomas and said "Seeing a pirate king in your condition is pathetic." The man smiled and said "But I'm sure if I kill you I'll get your position." Thomas glanced at the man while breathing heavily as he said "I'm sure we can do this some other time." Poppy glanced at Thomas and said "You don't have nearly enough mana for a fight, plus your badly injured." Lily let go of Thomas and walked in front of him as she said "If you wanna pick a fight with him you'll have to go through me first." The man pushed her out of the way and raised his fist as he shouted "I won't even need a weapon to fight someone so pathetic." As Lily stood up she swung the dagger at the man and shouted "Stop attacking him!" The man held his mouth and spit up a small amount of blood as he asked "What did you do to me?" Lily continued to hold the dagger towards him as she said "I already told you, if you want to fight him you'll have to fight me first." The man turned to Lily and said "So be it I'll kill you to." Thomas grabbed the man's shoulder and said "Try it and see how fast you die." The man shook Thomas off and punched him in the head as he said "Like you could ever do anything in that pitiful state." As the man's fist made contact Thomas took a step back as the man said "That little girl is probably a hundred times stronger then you." As Lily swung the dagger again the man held his mouth once again and said "It's that pain again." The man turned back around to Lily and said "Now you've done it!" Once the man turned around Thomas unsheathed his sword and sliced the man's back as he said "Can it." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "I'm impressed, you didn't kill him." As Thomas put the sword away he said "I'm too tired to deal with this right now, beat it." The man laid there on the ground as he asked "What happened?" Lily walked past the man towards Thomas and said "Apparently a miracle, he didn't kill you." The man dropped his head into the dirt and mumbled "I can't move." As Thomas leaned against Lily she glanced at him and said "You need to rest now stop pushing yourself." As Thomas yawned he said "Okay I'll take it easy for a while." As they began to walk away Thomas glanced back at the man and said "Stop acting like your about to die, if I wanted you dead you would've been a while ago." Poppy stared at Thomas and said "If you keep acting like that people are gone think your a sadist." As Thomas turned back he mumbled "Let them think what they want, it doesn't change anything." As they arrived at the inn Lily let go of Thomas and said "Now rest until your completely fine." As Thomas slowly walked towards the bed he collapsed onto the floor while mumbling "I'll be fine now." As he hit the ground Lily rushes over to him and asked "Are you alright?" Lily stared at him for a moment and noticed that he was still breathing. As she seen him breathing she said "You almost gave me a heart attack, I mean seriously if your gonna say your fine at least be able to make it to the bed before you collapse." Lily glanced at Poppy and said "We can't leave him here we should probably get him into the bed." Poppy nodded and said "Your right we should move him quickly."
