Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Strangers of Swampy Forest

"Where is this?" Doctor An looks around as he carried Kila on his back, they had followed the two strangers to a hidden cave. "And who are you people, don't tell me you're the child we've been looking for? You're no ghost." He says. The stranger beckons him to lay Kila down on a pile, then removes his hood, revealing long white hair and ice blue eyes, "we don't have time to answer questions, we must heal you're companion." The man says sitting next to Kila.

Doctor An crosses his arms, "look if you try anything I'll be happy to kill you myself. As for that little girl what is she doing?" He asks pointing at the girl who seemed to be mixing something. The man didn't bother to look into that direction, "she's making medicine to put on th wound." The man answers as he begins to remove Kila's shirt. "Hey what are you doing??" Doctor An rages and instantly turns away, "I have to take her shirt off to take a look at the wound." He answers. Doctor An turn his head a bit towards them, that way he still wasn't looking at Kila, "how do I know you aren't some pervert trying to look at her?" He asks.

There was silence for a bit, it was starting to get a bit too quiet, "hey, why aren't you saying anything, is that the case?" Doctor An asks whiping around to glare at the man. "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not desparate enough to want to peek at an injured girl." He says with a frown as he was already applying medicine to the wound. The viel that Kila wore had fallen off long after getting injured, it was a wonder that this guy didn't ask about the burn on her face. But at this moment it was the burns on her body that made Doctor An's stomach lurch. They were hideous but it wasn't the reason why, it was the single thought that entered his mind.

Who would do this to her? "You look like a doctor, but there was nothing you could have done for her normally, it's a good thing you ran into us when you did." The man says after applying medicine and a leaf to cover the wound. Doctor An frowns, "what do you mean, if it weren't for you guys she never would have gotten distracted and this never would have happened." He points out. The man stands, but says nothing, instead he sent the little out to fetch some water. "Aren't you worried that that thing is still out there? Also how come it hasn't come after us?" He asksed. "You ask alot of questions." The man says.

Doctor An clenches his fist, "isn't it obvious that I would? Kila almost got killed by whatever that was and it didn't follow us into this cave. It's almost as if there's some kind of magic barrier keeping it away." He says. The man was going through a satchel and pullng out small potion bottles filled with many colors, Doctor An was sure that they were elixirs, there was something odd about this guy that Doctor An hadn't noticed because of his worry for Kila. The man walks over to the cave entrance and opened one of the bottles and tossed it, and as soon as he did there was a spark and then the reveal of a blue border. "As you can see nothing magical of any kind can get through." The man says as though it was something obvious that Doctor An should know.

The liquid had vanished as if it never existed, "as for the other question, don't worry about the child, she's been here long enough to evade that shadow demon." He says walking over to lean on the wall. "Shadow Demon? Is that what that thing is? Also she's just a kid." He says. The man give him a wierd look, "she just looks like it, don't be fooled by her looks." He says. What the hell does he mean by that?
