Three days after the incident
Zia kept coming to Zeal's home to check on him. Lilia and Lupel kept her company while watching Zeal. What Zia does every day is change Zeal's head towel every two hours or so; as to why. It was because Zeal was boiling hot.
Just when Zia was about to get a change of towel again, Lupel said. "Thank you for visiting Zeal every day , Zia." At the same time, putting his hand over Zia's head.
"No problem uncle... It's the least I could do for Zeal." Smiling at Lupel, and proceeded to get a change of towel.
Lilia leaned and rested his head on Lupel's shoulder. "Hon, is he gonna be really fine? I mean he's been asleep for almost 3 days now..."
Lupel rubs his hand on Lilia's head to comfort her. "It's gonna be fine... our son is strong isn't he?"
Lilia didn't reply; she just nodded.
Inside Zeal's head.
"So, how do you plan I do that? your ladyship."
[ Before anything else, I'm sure you're blinded right now. I'll fix that for you so you can bask in my beauty. ]
A light flashed before my eyes, and my sight started to come back; I could feel my body and move it around. If I may describe, the surroundings looked somewhat, disturbing. There wasn't anything to look at above, just a dark red sky.
I looked around and walked a bit till I noticed my feet.
( Blood on my feet? No, it's water ... colored blood. )
"So, that's how you look like on your other form."
!!!
( That voice! ... there's no mistaking it... )
I hurriedly turned around to see. My mother is back in that world.
"What are you doing? ... Why do you take that form?" I asked it with a violent look in my eyes.
"Hmm... you resent me for this? Interesting."
She vanished right where she was standing.
"You're not so bad human. If only you have taken that form to this world, then you can charm any lady you want."
( That form? What is she talking about? )
I looked down to see my reflection on the water.
!!!
( This is what I looked like in the old world. )
"Did you also-"
"I did, you barely looked at yourself in the mirror? ... before so, I was curious."
"Can you stop that?" I got annoyed from her imitation of my mother's voice and from reading my mind."
"You! How did you-"
"Huh? what do you mean I closed my mind off?" "I did that?" I shrugged. "Good."
!!!
"Stop this instant!" she yelled at me.
"Hah? Whatever did I do to anger you, your ladyship."
!!!
( W-What is these images... )
Zeal's mind was filled with information that flashed before his eyes then.
"Enough!!!"
The scenes stopped appearing before Zeal.
"Wh-what was that?" I was exhausted and out of breath.
"You fool! How on Terra Meda did you do that you human!?" She again raised her voice at me.
I couldn't speak; I was too out of breath.
"Begone!"
She waved her hand, and I started to float as I got flung to who knows where direction.
!!!
Zeal woke up while Zia was changing his towel.
( This ceiling is familiar. My room? So I'm back, that damned bitch, didn't even bother explaining why she got mad. )
I sat up and looked around and saw Zia seated on the floor, speechless. To my response, I got out of bed to help her up. However, I failed to notice that I found myself unclothed, and I was only covered with just a piece of blanket. I saw Zia's face turning red, she closed her eyes, and I knew what was coming next.
( Not good. )
"AHHHHHHHH!"
A few hours passed.
Zeal, Zia, Lupel, Lilia, Ube, and mush were all in Zeal's room.
"Don't you think we should make some room?" while I scratched the back of my head.
"What do you mean sweetie? Do you want mother to leave?" She gently stood whilst saying that.
"No, no mother. I was just- never mind that." I gave up when I saw her tearing up a little.
"So, Zeal I know that you're still healing especially with that red mark on your face."
Lupel said as he looked towards Zia. The one who gave me this slap mark. Zia was just on the corner of the room, seated, covering her face.
"Ahem... err... to continue on what I was about to say; Zeal if you don't mind son, can you tell us what happened?" While he crossed his arm, preparing to hear from me.
"I wouldn't mind telling you all about what happened."
Looking at all of them, they're pretty worried this is, nice.
I then told them everything that happened and skipped the part where I received my blood weapon. As to how I said that the suspect ran, I made an excuse that it scared them when I yelled for help.
"So you can use magic?!?!" Zia slammed her arms at my bedside and hit my feet. I contained my voice in pain, she said sorry, and after taking a few breaths I eventually replied.
"Yes. I can and the condition to using magic is really simple as well."
"That's amazing Zeal! you did it!" She jumped around in joy.
"Haha, thank you Zia. But it was in the heat of the moment that I was able to." As I scratched the back of my head in awkwardness.
"No! you should take credit for what you achieved! This is a great achievement!" She took my hand and held them while smiling at me. "We should celebrate!"
!!!
She backed up and got seated back, putting her hands on her knees.
"Haha, I agree this is a great achievement for the both of you. You guys have worked hard to accomplish this goal."
Lilia and Lupel applaud both of us. Zia and I just sat there looking, and smiling at each other.
"However..."
!!!
"This is not to be shared with anyone, magic is considered theory, many people would want to get their hands on both of you." He placed his hands on both of our shoulders. "It's dangerous, so whenever you guys want to discuss things. It should always be discussed inside the house."
He then proceeded to take his seat and walked near the door.
"You guys talk, for now. We'll talk later about what will we do. Come on Lilia."
Lilia and Lupel left the room while slowly waving and slightly closing the door. Zia and I didn't speak to each other for almost 5 minutes then.
"Young master, we can leave if you want. You guys seem bothered to be not talking with each other for 5 whole minutes." Ube said in a monotone voice.
We were both surprised, not knowing they were there.
"Y-yeah, thanks Ube." I replied as I smirked.
They both left the room and closed the door. That happened and we both we're not still talking to each other. I laughed and she joined me, finally; we talked and she shared her time spent here while taking care of me.
