"Hello Arthur, did you miss me? You have no idea how much I felt yours."
Arthur looked up and could see a woman standing in front of him, she had a beautiful body, her curves were visible through her clothes, it seemed to be made of some dark leather, and unlike her body her face had slightly reddened skin. and from her forehead two small horns protruded, each about an inch long, and in her hand she carried a weapon that looked like a mace with several sharp points.
'Ah again that dream' thought Arthur.
'I remember I was with Mom and Dad and we were going to go somewhere, how did I get here? Try to remember Arthur'
The woman walked towards Arthur and hit him in the face with the mace and her mind soon lit up.
'Shit, it's just a dream, how can it hurt so much?'
The woman then continued to hit Arthur several times.

In a hospital in the city of Partria Emily was looking distressed at the bed where Arthur was, her eyes were red.
"Is he going to be okay doctor?" She asked the man next to Arthur that she was using magic to heal him.
"He should be waking up by now, we used the recovery pills and healing magic, I don't see why he's still unconscious" replied the man.
In the present day, there were still doctors and hospitals, but unlike the past, today's doctors mostly had some ability related to healing, and with the advancement of technology, recovery pills emerged that cured the individual to a certain extent, their only problem was that it affected the patient, often in serious injuries the patients would spend days unconscious hence the need for doctors with healing skills to assist in the recovery of the patients and prevent them from running out of energy.
"Arthur" cried Emily as she saw Arthur having convulsions.
He pushed her and him away with all the speed she could, and injected a liquid into Arthur's vein and it calmed him down.
"Now we just have to wait for him to wake up," said the doctor.
Emily then approached Arthur's bed and hugged him.
"Please don't leave me too, I can't lose you too, that's enough Mom and Dad, don't leave me again" Emily started to cry as she hugged Arthur's body on the bed.
Seeing this the doctor decided to leave. 'Poor girl to lose almost her whole family in a single day' thought the doctor.
"I'm leaving, anything press the emergency button" the doctor said closing the door.
Emily barely heard what the doctor said, she kept hugging Arthur, even though she was already a teenager she didn't mind crying on her unconscious brother's chest, the only thing that calmed her was his weak breathing.
She smiled remembering that she didn't like it when her mother called her a child, and that at that exact moment she was just that, a child, remembering Naomi she started to cry remembering the doctors' words.
"We did everything we could, but we don't know what happened to her, her body is fine but she doesn't wake up, it's like her mind wasn't there anymore" that's all the doctors said, and they couldn't do nothing else but to wait and take care of her while she was in a coma.
Then Emily fell asleep between her sobs and sadness.

After a few hours Arthur slowly opened his eyes, his head hurt, looking around he could see that he was in a bed, and that on his chest was a girl lying, he smiled to see Emily well. Then the memories of what had happened started to pop into his mind, of the attack they had suffered, of him being stabbed, his mother passed out and then his father, his father creating a barrier around him and Naomi and then using everything he had to ride. a barrier to prevent the surrounding houses from suffering from the explosion, even though he knew he was going to die he used his last strength to prevent more people from getting hurt.
'Idiot' thought Arthur. He didn't want his father to be a hero, but still that didn't stop him from crying and wailing, he was proud of his father. Then he tried to remember if his dream, he had dreamed about something, when trying to remember he was attacked with a severe headache, when trying to grab his head he woke up Emily.
"Arthur? Oh heavens you woke up" Emily said as she hugged him as tightly as she could.
Seeing Emily's gesture, he decided to hug her as tightly as he could, and as he remembered what had happened to his father, a wave of guilt and anger washed over him, until he heard Emily's sob. He saw how helpless she was and that even at 14 she was still a child.
"Daddy, Daddy is dead" She said
Hearing those words only added to Arthur's guilt, he heard the monsters say they were after him. Before he could say anything Emily kept saying.
"And mom is unconscious, the doctors said they can't do anything" her hug became stronger.
"Like this? She was not injured, and besides her skill can heal almost anything" asked Arthur.
"I don't know, I just…I just got so scared of losing you again," Emily said quietly.
At that moment a doctor came in, it was the same doctor who was in the room before. Seeing the brothers hugging, the doctor waited for them to finish to give Arthur an assessment, he had been notified the moment Arthur regained consciousness. Behind the doctor is a small robot with fresh food on a tray.
"You look great, I just need to rest to regain the energy I lost and eat," said the doctor.
"I would like to see my mother" Arthur said
The doctor stopped for a minute while he thought and answered
"You can go as soon as you eat, I will accompany you"
After eating some fruit Arthur left the room with the doctor and Emily, he is walking normally and holding Emily's right hand.
His mother's room was on the same floor and very close to his. On this floor it was possible to see doctors, nurses, small robots going everywhere. The hospital walls were white and there was little decoration. Arriving in front of a room Arthur entered quickly.
Looking at the bed his mother breathed calmly as if in a very deep sleep, he then felt Emily's hand squeeze hers.
The doctor walked away and went back to his chores leaving the two of them in the room with Naomi.
Arthur then sat down on a sofa that was next to the room and emo followed, and he finally looked at a blue screen that until that moment he had not checked.

Looking at the screen Arthur decided to collect his rewards and immediately felt refreshed.
Averting his gaze to his sister and then to the bed where his mother lay, he made a promise to himself. It's time to get stronger, and make the bastard pay for it.
And so he decided to distribute his stat points.
