Kazzy was confused by what he said, as she didn't hear Polemos groan as she was more focused on what she could do in order to fix up her newest best friend. She then turned around and was about to drop the spine into the liquid before she was finally able to notice Polemos's eyes struggling to open as a weak and tired voice escaped his mouth.
"Where…where am I? And how…how long was I out for?" Polemos groaned in pain as he felt that he was slowly being fried, while also feeling his bones being fixed and mended.
When Kazzy heard Polemos's question all while still holding the spine jumped up and down in joy as she answered. "You're awake, you're awake, yayyyyyyy!!!!! You're currently in the medical area, and I don't know how long you've been out but it's been awhile. But I still need to fix you up so hold still and try not to move.
Polemos was very confused but before he could do or say anything else he saw the individual before him drop the huge spine she was holding, into the green liquid as it splashed and floated in the liquid. Then when he saw and heard the spine starting to slowly dissolve he groaned in pain as the liquid splashed his face as he started to slowly fade into unconsciousness again.
After Kazzy dropped the spine into the liquid she started to jump up and down in joy again and didn't notice that Polemos had passed out again. She continued to jump for a while pumping her hands up and down and side to side. She then abruptly stopped as she froze.
"Wait, should I also grab that black and demonic looking spine also? Master did say to treat him well, so I think that falls into the category of helping him get fixed better." She placed her boney hands on the hip of her cloak in a triumphant manner and posed briefly.
Then she noticed that her newest best friend was not awake and was knocked out again?
Kazzy tilted her head in confusion while still holding her triumphant pose.
"Heyyyy, you're supposed to be awake and applauded meeee!!!! I was just being super awesome." Kazzy complained as she was confused and upset.
Then as if another lightbulb went off in her head she immediately turned around and ran out of the room. Leaving Polemos alone in the medical area!
Polemos continued to float in the liquid, briefly twitching as his ribs continued to heal. A soft and barely audible cracking noise sounded beneath the water as one of the fractured ribs healed completely!
Leaving three left to be fixed.
The feeling of having his rib fixed awoke Polemos as a tired moan of pain escaped his lips. He tried opening his tired and heavy eyes as he was only able to see a blur in the beginning before he slowly adjusted. He saw that he was floating in a vicious looking green liquid, he slowly looked around and saw the small remaining sliver of what seemed to be an eye?
He didn't even flinch when he saw the eye. He was just curious as to why he was naked and felt like his skin was being fried and why his chest felt like something was crawling inside it.
Then Polemos felt something bump into him which made him turn his head even though he felt like he shouldn't. He wasn't surprised when a little less than half a remaining heart bumped him.
'I wonder what heart it's from, freaking huge. How long was I out for, in order for me to be naked and in a pool of.' He looked around at the liquid. 'Whatever this crap is. I really need to work on my combat against others. Sure I can easily kill a beast as the next person but I didn't really have that much combat against others that much.' Polemos thought as he continued to float.
As he continued to float he noticed the huge spine floating in the pool. When he saw the spine he started to panic a little!
"Am I in a damn pool of acid!!! Oh come on, that's bull and you damn well know it! I've been impaled by a freaking pole, my body went through literal torture, and then I die being stupidly slowly dissolved in acid, while I can't move…and my ribs are being fixed…what in every know and unknown hells?"
Polemos went from being scared, angry, to mocking, then to questioning himself, to being absolutely speechless.
"Just what in Death's name…this world is amazing, yet terrifying. I should just continue to float and not question anything until the actual knowledgeable person arrives." He then remembered the cloaked person before he passed out again. "Does that person know maybe, she sounded like a very cheerful and outspoken person maybe she knows."
He continued to float for an unknown amount of time as another one of his ribs had fixed itself. The only thing that accompanied Polemos in the pool was the spine, it had barely even dissolved leaving a good amount of it left.
"I hope my things haven't been touched or went through but, I wouldn't be surprised if they did as that would've been my fault since Secat won the spar. I wonder what she likes to eat, I mean I'm pretty good at roasting and cooking over a fire. I wonder if they have anything for proper cookware?" Polemos spoke aloud as he was trying to remember different styles and tastes of foods that he could incorporate or make a version of here.
Another rib had been fixed before Polemos heard a sound coming from the door he was able to see as he floated around the pool of liquid. He was still upset that he couldn't move except for his head. But as he continued to listen to the sound he noticed that it was getting louder and louder by the second, then it sounded like a frenzied mass of footsteps. Then he heard a loud and angry voice bellow!
"Stop you crazed and maddened fool stop!! Do you realize what it is you're stealing, that's a spine that belonged to a Viscount ranked beast! That belonged to a Fiendwalker Bear! Are you mad, even if you are Gelus' aide this is too much, stop!"
But what replied was an upset yet cheerful voice.
"Nooooo, you're the mad one, you, aged old fart, Master told me to take care of her disciple and that's what I'm gonna do. Nothings gonna stop me from fixing my newest best friend!!!!"
'Newest best friend, how long was I out for? And how strong is a Viscount stage beast, that bear didn't sound cuddly at all.' Polemos thought as he continued to listen to the two voices arguing back and forth. Then he heard a pair of clicking sounding steps enter the room and a door slamming shut, the dropping of something very heavy and dense, and then a dragging of something before he heard a noise of satisfaction.
"Well that should hold them, maybe. Who cares? Masters orders need to be followed, I need to heal my newest and bestest friend." Kazzy spoke with satisfaction and pride when she talked about following her Masters orders. She picked up the spine like it was a piece of paper and proceeded to walk to the pool. But when she saw a pair of deep and purple eyes looking at her she stopped as a gleeful and high pitched scream.
Kazzy seemed to completely ignore the spine as it fell to the floor again with a loud thud, all while she jumped up and down with joy as her Masters disciple and best of all, her newest best friend was awake!
"YAAAAAAAAY…, you're awake, you're awake. I did an awesome job fixing you up, yes I did. I put in many amazing and powerful things in the healing liquid, all so you could get better faster." Then she stopped as she remembered something else. "Oh that's right! You're also supposed to cook a feast for my Master's friend." She reached out to try and grab Polemos but couldn't reach as he wasn't close enough. When she saw that she groaned and complained.
"Come on, are you still not healed yet? That's not right. I put in so many awesome and amazing things in order to help. Oh I'll just put in the cool black spine I found!" She said cheerfully but before she could turn around and do anything a cold and angry voice sounded behind her that made her freeze and shake.
"And what kind of awesome things did you use to heal my disciple, Polemos, Kazzy? I see you even went as far as to try and steal my Fiendwalker Bear spine. I mean it was for when I got my disciple but if he absorbed it now, then he would have died and been meat paste all along the walls."
Gelu was towering over Kazzy as she glared at her with ice in her sapphire blue eyes. All while Kazzy froze and didn't respond until Gelu slowly raised her hand as a ghastly white looking fire flickered above her finger.
"A lot of awesome things that would have helped my bestest friend and your disciple, what it's not like some of them were all important." Kazzy quickly replied as when she saw and felt the soul rendering pain from that small ghastly looking flame. All while trying to hide the floating spine.
"Don't bother trying to hide the spine, it's ruined anyway, but luckily it's salvageable for later use." Gelu lifted the spine from the liquid with her mana as she put it away in one of her rings. Then she looked at Polemos and spoke. "You seem close to being fixed up."
Polemos smiled as he continued to float naked in the pool. "Yeah only one left to fix it seems and as much as it seems you're enjoying the show. Is Rose and Secat ok?" Polemos asked with a smile on his face.
Gelu chuckled as she continued to watch Polemos slowly spin while floating. "Good not much longer then you'll be able to cook a grand feast. I've made sure to inform the staff to help if you need it, oh and yes they are doing fine. And I must say whatever you did to gain Rose's trust or what I've never seen before, she's very protective of you. And yes Secat is eagerly awaiting for you to start cooking." Gelu took one last look before she turned around and grabbed the frozen Kazzy and dragged her along. "Oh and yes it was quite a great show."
