The wife asked " what is this?!, he is an assassin.if so I'm surprised that anyone would become on". I tried remembering what kind of marking would be placed on someone. He can't be an assassin cause their marking would be their weapon. The father of the house kneeled down to get a closer look at Marcus, I tried to reach to down to pull him away. He examined his body closely. " Your wrong Honey!, the assassin clan had been wiped out. Due to the rampant growth of Demons. Whatever this is he has been branded, last thing I can recall from assassination clan was when they get their mark. It's more of a sticker or a patch on their clothing. So whatever he is, he had earned it. Jim how old is this kid?!". I didn't know what to tell him, cause I didn't know precisely the age of Marcus. " Sir I don't know he age of him, if I was to guess. Probably around seventeen or eighteen. What does that have to do with anything?!". I felt the pressure of Autumn from behind me, the sound for her shoes made me feel easy. " I'm sorry for barging in, you have a lovely home. What in the fuck happened to Marcus?!". She was behind the woman. Her eyes were in disbelief of what happened to Marcus. " Don't worry miss we didn't do anything. And your too late to worry about him, these scars are from years ago. Several years ago, I'm confused though. If he didn't train to become a assassin. What did he want to become then, what kind do training would cause all of this. If I was too say maybe the oldest scar is a year ago, that scar is like the rest of them though. He must have finally fought back against someone. Why though?!, why not fight back for the rest of them?". He pointed at his knees,and both of his hands. Marcus knees had holes and bruises on them, the holes were on the top of the knee. They way the scar is located it seems what ever punctured him, went all the way through. The bruises are rather odd though, well from our world it is. The bruises are too blunt for any type of weapon from this world, even if it was from our world. The size of the bruises are to wide, even if I was to hit someone multiple times. The size of the bruise wouldn't even be comparable. The old man ran his hand over Marcus forehead pushing back his hair covering it. His right side of his head is very disfigured. " These are acid burning, how are they still visible though. Also these scares shouldn't be visible, well normal scars are visible. It seems that these wounds were stopped before healing properly. How though?, it's been years since anyone had the ability of healing!". I looked at Autumn she was concerned about the state of Marcus. I want to change the conversation or at the situation we are in. Nothing is coming to mind though, everything so far what he is saying is right. After the war of Adamsin the ability of healing was vanished from learning. So what kind do person has the power the so this?, also could Marcus be able to heal anyone. Or is it worse could he possibly heal himself. If he could heal himself then it's a possibility that he could have done this to himself, it wouldn't make sense though. " Marcus!, who ever done this too you will pay for what they had done!. Jim could I have a moment with you". Autumn pulled me outside of the house, " About Marcus. What do you think he is?!, I mean what kind of human could possibly go through this much pain. Not anyone I know even Adamsin would break down. Another thing the pieces of paper that we saw while talking to Darkouls. Do you think that Marcus had a choice in the matter of how extreme they would become?. Or is it fate for him?. Jim I feel like something is more mystical about Marcus, I mean think about it Jim!. That Brand I've never seen one like that before, even if I had. That would be impossible cause branding has been a ancient technique that has been abandoned for years. So who ever done this, is someone we must be very cautious about!". The fear in her eyes fell me that she is more worried about Marcus then ever before. I hugged her trying to give her comfort about the situation about Marcus. " Autumn I know that you are scared about the mystery of Marcus, he must not be scared though. He needs us to be strong, cause he needs someone to be his hero. I mean he wouldn't go through that much pain, just to become a great fighter. First we need rest though, it's getting dark out. How did the hunt go for food?". She wiped away her tears, pulled about three rabbits. And four bear legs. She never seems to amaze me, we both walked back into the house. The old man was pouring an oil based potion over Marcus, the potion had a dark color to it. I grabbed the potion from him," what are you doing to him!". The old man was scared of me, then he whispered."look!", while the liquid was dripping on Marcus body. His body absorbed the liquid but nothing else happened, " what was the old man!?, what did you do to him!?." He backed away from Marcus, walked into a cabinet. Grabbing a small notebook from inside of it. " Jim and Autumn I know you are confused of what I'm doing!. That potion was for healing, it was a herb. The most powerful herb, that can even bring dead back to life. That herb has no effect on Marcus though, his body will absorb it. His scars still remain!".
