Chapter 244 - Chapter 244 Daisy’s New Found Power

As they all arrived back at the inn Mira removed the talismans from Lily and Mary. Thomas sat down on one of the beds and said "It's a good thing I came back when I did." Mira glanced at him and asked "How did your recovery go?" Thomas lifted his shirt and said "Good as new, I made sure that time moved faster there so it would seem as though I wasn't gone for long." Mira sat down beside Thomas and said "I'm sorry for not being able to help them, and because of me you had to kill once again." Thomas tilted his head exposing his neck as he said "Don't feel to bad besides I'm pretty sure I owe you a lot of blood." Mira stared at his neck and said "But I didn't do anything." Thomas shrugged and said "Even so, you did your best and that only caused you to get hurt as well." As Mira bit into his neck she thanked him and said "I will get stronger." Thomas stared at Lily and Mary and said "We should probably get you guys changed into something less torn." Lily and Mary looked down at their clothes and and at their cuts as they said "We don't have any spare clothes." Thomas stared at them for a few moments and said "I should be able to make a near identical pair of clothes." Thomas glanced at Mira and asked "Can you treat their injuries while I work on new clothes for them?" Mira let go of his neck and nodded as she said "Of course." Thomas set a few piles of cloth and thread beside him as he said "Good thing I started stocking up for these kinds of things recently." After a few hours Thomas set two new sets of clothes down on the bed and said "Finally done." Thomas glanced at Mira, Mary, and Lily how we're all on one bed beside each other reading a picture book as he asked "Aren't you guys gonna put on your new clothes?" Lily and Mary stared at him and said "We'll change after we finish this book." Thomas stood up and said "Okay we'll I'm gonna go for stroll." As Thomas reaches for the door knob he heard knocking and paused. Thomas stared at the door for a few moments and asked "Do I really wanna answer this." Thomas sighed and opened the door as he said "Might as we'll see who it is." As the door opened Sarah stared at Thomas and said "We have some bad news, despite searching throughout the city we can't find those two." Thomas stared at her confused and asked "What are you talking about?" Sarah stared at him and said "We can't find Lily and Mary, we have no idea where they could've taken them." Thomas paused for a moment and then asked "How long have you been searching?" Sarah stared at him and said "We've been searching for hours on end but we haven't had any luck, please forgive us." Thomas stepped aside and said "Those two are sitting on the bed with Mira, I already dealt with the people who kidnapped them." Sarah stared at Lily and Mary and said "So our searching wasn't in vain." Thomas walked past her and closed the door as he said "Nope your searching was entirely useless and unneeded." Sarah began to follow him and said "You could've at least said it made some sort of difference." As they walked out of the inn Thomas glanced at her and said "Even though it didn't make much of difference but I do appreciate it." Sarah stared at him and said "If your about to say it's the thought that counts forget about it, the only thought we had was that you were gonna lose control and kill people accidentally with that aura of yours." Thomas stared at her and said "I'm not that reckless." Sarah stared at him and said "Well now that that's behind us what are you gonna do now?" Thomas glanced up into the sky and said "Not a clue, but I have feeling I'll find out what's next pretty soon." Sarah stared at him and asked "What are you some kind of hippy?" Thomas glanced at her and asked "What's a hippy?" Before Sarah could answer Thomas heard someone call his name. As Thomas turned around he seen Marcus and Daisy walking towards him. Sarah glanced at him and bowed as she shouted "It's a king!" As many of the people passing by over heard Sarah they glanced at Marcus and bowed as well. Thomas glanced at Sarah and asked "What's going on?" Sarah glanced at him and said "Bow to show respect to a king, you should know this, are you trying to get yourself killed." Thomas began to walk towards Marcus as he said "I'm not bowing." Sarah glanced at him and whispered "Get back here and now your head before it's too late." As Thomas stood a few feet away from then he smiled and said "Its been a while." Marcus stared at Thomas and asked "Do you know why these people are bowing?" Thomas shrugged and said "Beats me." Marcus sighed and said "Unfortunately I'm not exactly a king who demand this treatment." Many of the people stood up and whispered to one another "Why is a king acting so politely to a demi human." Thomas glanced at Daisy and asked "So how did Mason's little experiment go?" Daisy glanced at him and grinned as she said "He's created a new device that can enhance someone's strength based around the number and strength of monsters they've slain." Daisy held up a crystal and said "This little thing is called a power module, and when I slay a monster it absorbs some of its magical power and I gain part of its strength." Thomas stared at the crystal and said "Mason was here after me right, so how is it he's already created all of this and bows more about this world then me." Daisy put the crystal in her pocket and said "I don't know why but I do have something to say." Thomas stared at her and asked "What?" Daisy smiled and said "I officially challenge you." As Sarah rushed over she whispered to Thomas "Did you already manage to piss a king off." Thomas stared at her and said "I didn't piss anyone off." Daisy glanced at Sarah and said "It's been a while since I last saw you." Sarah glanced at Daisy and said "I remember you." Daisy glanced at Thomas and said "Forget what I said." Daisy pointed at Sarah and said "I would like to fight you." Thomas stared at Daisy and asked "Wait why her?" Daisy pointed at Thomas and said "Don't tell me you forgot already, if you remember correctly she tried killing you." Thomas thought for a minute and said "Well she did try but it's not like it worked." Sarah grabbed her sword and said "I won't refuse this fight however perhaps we should move away from the king." Marcus laughed and said "Oh don't mind me, I need to see if this invention surpasses some of the best adventures, so feel free to let lose." Sarah nodded and said "Very well I'll end this quickly." Thomas stared at Daisy and said "Her magical aura just increase by three times." Marcus glanced at Thomas and said "It seems you've already gotten your hands on some of Mason's research." Thomas nodded and said "I won it in a bet." Daisy smirked and grabbed both of her blades as she appeared in front of Sarah and struck her blade. Sarah took a few steps back and said "This speed, this power, it certainly is impressive." Marcus stared at Thomas and asked "Well what do you think?" Thomas stared at Daisy and said "She's only drawing out about have of that things power, if she used it all she could've won a while ago." Marcus nodded and said "Of course but that's because we're only testing these as of now, we plan to release them to the public in a week or two." Marcus stared at Thomas and said "At this rate you might have some actual competition." Thomas stood there and watched as Sarah tried to keep up with Daisy and said "I already have someone to compete with." Marcus stared at Thomas confused and asked "Are you referring to Toby?" Thomas nodded and said "Yeah, normally our power is around the same." Marcus stared at Thomas and said "Unfortunately as the hero his strength will soon far exceed yours, so instead you'll have to compete with others." As Sarah's sword flew from her hand Daisy swung her blade at her and stopped just before it hit her and said "I already won." Thomas glanced at Marcus and said "His strength may grow faster then normal however I ain't exactly getting weaker." Thomas smiled and said "Actually I think I'd be able to beat him with ease the next time we go head to head." Marcus stared at Thomas and said "Then fight Daisy, and if you can beat her then it will be quite obvious you can match his power."
