With everything that had happened so far, the legion faction currently being hosted by the hunters were in no doubt not fully recovered. Blair was recovering from his dislocation faster than the medics predicted it would take.
"You should have seen the size of this monster..huge...like the size of a three storey building" Blair said in excitement as he narrated the horrifying experience of the beast he "fought" to the other patients in the inn with him.
The factions inn wasn't anything fancy, just a large hall with beds and medical equipments lying around. The reason for the poor infrastructure is basically because they had healers around who could reverse the wounds the hunters would sustain, though this in itself was still a long process but relatively faster than the conventional means of treatment.
It was through this means that Blair was back on his feet, though he would limp, while he demonstrated as he told his story.
"Hey kiddo...I'm gonna miss you when you leave here".. A man with several deep cuts on his body said to Blair..
"Ayy..don't worry about it pops ..you'd be out of here in no time....though I'm curious as to why your wounds are taking longer than usual to heal"..
To this final statement from Blair the man's face changed to a serious one
"Let's just say I met beast that wouldn't die without leaving me a gift...poison".. The wounded man replied. And after that interaction the mood started to settle in as the place became ...well an inn again.
Then the silence was broken from an unexpected person, as this person hadn't been participating in the banter that would more than occasionally occur.
" Your friend..the one who fought the beast alone, what was that thing he did back there?" Zayn asked from the corner of the inn where he laid.
" oh you mean Rodney?... He's done it before ...though the odd thing is he keeps passing out and wouldn't remember a thing during the period he did those things" Blair then went on to further narrate to the others what he just said about how Rodney was encased in some shadow form.
" He got chucked over to a tree and the impact had broken the tree in half but he was unscathed " Blair went on about the whole incident ...
Zayn still at his corner wasn't listening anymore as he was lost in his own thoughts.
" Can't remember a thing huh?... Remained uninjured you say?" Zayn thought to himself..
Off in another direction, one could see a figure sat at the top of a building, this was Rodney.
The others had later explained to him everything that happened during the fight with beast they all encountered. Right now, he had a different worry in his mind.
" First I fought the way I did, then I didn't even remember how i fought ...now these"
Ever since he did what the others had claim to see him do he has been having weird dreams and each time he got only one message out. He would always see a man in a dark cloak and the only words this figure would utter was..
" Be prepared "
..."Ahhhh! Be prepared for what?!....this shadow power has become a lot more stress than I bargained for" he said to himself.
" I need to find that preacher guy... He might know a little about all of this mess" Rodney thought.
Beneath the roof Rodney sat on was someone else, Johan the now level 7 earth user. His face was all wet from all the crying he had been doing without anybody's notice.
He couldn't help but blame himself for the death of jack, who's only body part retrieved were his legs as the beast ate him.
" if only I made the wolf stuck for a little longer he ( jack) would have been alive now"...he mumbled while still crying..
Then a different thought entered his mind..
" oh no...Tom". Johan said with a look of concern written all over his face as he remembered the last person he saw before being sucked into the "The Heat".
Tom was Johan's best friend right from when they were little, they practically did everything together.
Though seeing them together you'd think one was older as it turned out to be judging from their height difference. As johan was the taller one among the two.
Thinking about all of this and the potential stress and trauma Tom might be going through. Given that the police would have tried to question him already.
" Poor Tom, they must think you were insane after hearing how you told them I disappeared " Johan thought
"I'll get stronger and get out of here" Johan declared with a look of determination on his face
