After knocking him out cold, Lieg walked over his body on the floor, and may his way to the girl to heal her wounds.
(Luckily it wasn't that deep, if he didn't control himself at the last minute, he would have split her in two).
As he lay beside her placed his hand on her wounds, slimes slowly started swirling around his arms from his robe sleeve, covering her wounds. A dim blue light started glowing in the slime, within a few minutes her wounds were completely healed.
She then asked "… Is", Lieg looked at her surprised realizing she they regained consciousness so soon.
"Your a tough one, it's ok, get some rest your fine",
"…It… he, ok" she mumbled under her breath. Lieg was lefted without word, he stare at her for a while then broke out of it when she holded on to his robe stare straight up into his eyes as worried, and serious as she could be.
"Yea, he just went to sleep, she responded with a low inhale of relief; Lieg smile and asked her.
"What's your name?",
"…Howyee", as he softened his eyes still glowing cold gold and whispered.
"Ok Howyee, I'm going to need you to do something for me".
She looked around as he continued smiling at her, while all of this was going on Tetso's was outside with his tool box out, looking at all the carriages with a bright smile on his face and with a boastful voice shouted.
"Well then… let's do this".
"IS THAT HOW YOU SEASON MEAT MORE SALT!",
"Sorry Master I'll fix it right a way",
"YOU WHY ARE YOU RUNNING, WHY ARE YOU RUNNING WITH THE MEAT TO THE POT, IT'S NOT THAT HOT",
"… YES MASTER SORRY MADAM" how's the ladies all scattered to their work station following every single order given by Bao, burnt skin or cut fingers were not an option. Hasn't meals are finally finish supper was ready, everyone ate Tetso meddling with the carriage to the side, Hoku still unconscious, Rizette's plate was prepared and left to decide by Bao.
We don't have any pocket All the eating, cheering, singing from the adults, the playful noise of the kids and the missing chief having the time of his life on the carriage while everyone else was enjoying the moment.
All the noises were echoing in the carriage floor waking Hoku up,
"… Aaack my… face?, what the" Hoku murmured unable to get up off the floor.
"Your body is going to be numb for bit, due to you over using your stigma so many time without being trained" the voice explained in the dark.
Hoku eyes darted all over the place trying to find where the voice was coming from, as his hearing was about to drive him mad, all the noises from outside were amplified by ten for some reason. "My ears" Hoku cried unable to move his hands to cover them,
"Sssssshhhhhhhh… calmly breathed in… then out your body is changing faster than your mind can keep up. In… then out try to focus on my voice, can't have you going auto attack mode again" The voice spoke calmly.
Cold sweat appears all over his body, as even the slightest sound was painful, the sound of his own heart beat was like war drums in battle, his veins were broken roaring rivers forcefully flowing through tubes along his shaking muscles. But after hearing the voice, whose tone completely changed the way the air in the carriage was before a word lefted his lips, he followed his instruction hoku slowly started drowning out the outside noises and the internal tension, only focusing on the voice spoken until.
"Better?",
"…Yeah",
By placing his back on the carriage's side leaning in the middle of the seat, feet crossed, arms crossed behind his head.
"Great, now then here what we're going to do" Lieg replied turning on all the mana crystal gem in the walls inside the room shining brightly, making the room has bright as daytime.
"You low down two mouthed having, devil whispering snakes, piece of shi-",
"Okay I guess you are going through, a lot more than I expected" Lieg replied realizing that his description of him was not the best.
An incomprehensible hostile silences full the carriage,
"… Well?" Lieg asked,
"Well what?" Hoku replied,
"So you're not going to say anything about attack me just now?",
"… You… you, You kicked me in my face!" Shouted Hoku wondering why would he even think to ask that.
"You even hurted your girl… not cool man, not cool" Lieg explained shaking his head in disappointment.
"What are you talking about… the…" Lieg was about to say something funny went he looked at Hoku shook from his last statement,
With a dreadful surprised look of confusion and despair in one on his face. Lieg slowly gets down from the seat, then bented down on his ankle face to face with Hoku as he continued.
"Do you remember what you did?" Lieg asked,
Hoku layed on the floor silence as he had quick flashbacks of the time he had her in his arms and the rages he felt noticing anything else but the target of his rage. The more he wanders the more powerful his worries became visible,
Lieg seeing this "Well knowing what your body's capable of doing now, do you think you could have bit fine going to the holy Kingdom alone in hope of stopping the invasion and clearing your bloodline?",
"I… kill… no… I couldn't… I'm not like that" Hoku's condition was changing for the worse.
"You're not like what?… huh, not human, not a Beast what are you?" Lieg asked.
Hoku eyes started to pale remembering his grandfather's, his bestfriends, and his idol Obi words,
"I… a Monster, a demon of the church, a curse on my village" he said with a broken smile on his face tears running down his face.
"So… so is that a bad thing?" A women's voice echoed behind him
