Tahel regained consciousness after half an hour.
He was not fully awake yet, so he did not notice the movements around him very well. He could only hear a few sounds, which were the result of something crashing.
His eyes were half open and he was still in a shadow of darkness and terror. His mind did not help him well and did not allow him to remember the nightmare he had seen.
All his body parts were screaming from the pain. As if he had been hit by a car or thrown off a cliff.
He doesn't remember what he went through, his mind left him with unanswered questions. He was only remembered fear and a dark shadow of that nightmare and the feeling of a deadly murder and nothing else.
After a few seconds passed, his blurred vision became a little clearer. He turned his head and looked around.
Everything was the same as before, without any change; With the difference that Josh and Billy were sitting in the corner of the room and were arranging their things.
Tahel tried to get up, but suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his spine that made him wince. So he stayed where he was and tried to call Josh and Billy to help him.
But when he opened his mouth and wanted to speak, he felt that his tongue was numb and did not move. He couldn't articulate the words well at this moment. And he could only make unintelligible sounds.
"Ahhhh....Haaaahhhh..."
Josh and Billy were busy, suddenly a voice drew their attention. The sound was coming from Tahel.
They went to Tahel and realized that he had regained consciousness.
Billy said with a happy expression: "You came to your senses?! Are you okay?!"
Tahel could only nod in response to Billy, he still couldn't speak.
When Josh saw that Tahel had regained consciousness, he quickly left the rest room and went to Elaine to inform her about Tahel's condition.
Elin and Karina had finished cooking and had to wait for Tahel to come to his senses so they could eat together.
At the same time, Elaine prepared a dish and gave it to Karina to take to Zack.
Because he did not eat anything today because of that incident and went to guard.
After Karina left, Elaine heard loud footsteps coming towards her.
She realized that the voice belonged to Josh, because he was the only one who was lazy about following the rules and was running around the shelter.
When Josh reached the dining area, he hurriedly said without a moment's pause, "Elaine, he...he's come to his senses."
Elaine, who was ready to blame Josh after seeing him, became carefree after hearing that.
and went to the break-room with Josh.
At this time, Billy was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel. And he changed Tahel dress, which was completely wet with sweat.
Tahel looked at him with an embarrassed face. He could not get up and that he had just met the members of this group, but he was nothing but an extra burden for them.
Tahel, who was still confused in his thoughts, did not notice Elaine's presence.
Suddenly, a gentle and calm voice like a beautiful music brought him to himself.
"Tahel..., how are you?!"
That voice was from Elaine, he just noticed Elaine's presence. And in response to her, he could only answer her by saying a short word.
"Uhmmm..."
Billy, who was by Tahel's side from the moment he regained consciousness, noticed something strange and said with a worried expression, "Tahel, you can't talk."
Tahel answered him by shaking his head as a sign of approval.
Everyone was shocked.
Anyway, maybe that's normal, because he had a seizure, so maybe after a few hours he could regain his ability to speak.
They decided to give him space to rest so that he could recover as quickly as possible.
So Elaine went back to the kitchen to take the soup she had made from the roots of the giant plant for Tahel.
Although there are many poisonous and dangerous plants in this world, the giant roots of the trees that have mobile tentacles were not poisoned, because their poisonous sap was in those tentacles.
But those roots are very firm and it cannot be completely separated, except by having a superhuman ability at a high level.
However, thanks to Josh's power ability, they were able to get a part of that root.
After ten minutes, Tahel faced a bowl of soup from Elaine.
The food inside the dish had a strange color, a combination of green and indigo with large bubbles on it; That food remains like a poison.
Seeing Tahel's confused and surprised face, Elaine said, "Don't worry. This soup is a giant root, and we all ate it once before. Although it looks strange, it has very high healing power."
However, Tahel had no other choice, even if it was poison, he had to eat it, because he was the weak person of this place.
Surely, if Zack had given it to him, he would have refused.
However, Elaine was a kind person and cared about everyone.
She was a person who was willing to sacrifice even her life for her loyal and important people.
Loyalty versus loyalty was this Elaine.
So Tahel started to eat that soup disgusting.
After eating the first spoonful, his eyes widened, his face darkened, and he felt nauseous.
"Ugghh..."
That soup was very bad and bitter, after eating it, he felt a burning sensation in his throat.
It was really like a deadly poison, worse than any bitter medicine that a doctor gives to a patient.
didn't want to eat that soup anymore.
But Elaine forced him to eat the last drop of that soup.
Is this a revenge?
When Josh saw Tahel's confused face, he started to laugh.
"HaHaHaHa...."
"Now you know how bad Elaine is, you shouldn't be fooled by her good behavior."
Josh, who was holding his stomach from laughing so much, faced Elaine's fist in his face.
"Keokkek..."
Everyone laughed after seeing Josh's condition, and the space there was filled with their laughter.
and made Tahel forget the bitter and burning taste of that soup.
Karina and Zach came back downstairs after twenty minutes.
They faced into Elaine coming back from the break room.
After seeing Elaine, Karina went to her and asked her: "Sister, how is Tah?"
Elaine answered him with a smile: "Don't worry. He came to his senses soon. You want to see him."
Karina happily nodded. and went to the rest room.
Zack stared at Elaine questioningly, waiting for Elaine to share the details with him.
"Let's go talk somewhere else."
Elaine and Zach went to the planning room.
The room was filled with various maps of the Black City. Maps of the different areas that they had been able to explore during this time.
The room had a lot of empty space, decorated with a large table with five chairs pushed together and a number of shelves and bulletin boards with maps on them.
They had obtained these devices from different parts of the building that were still intact.
Elaine started to explain about Tahel situation.
Zack thought a little after hearing about Tahel situation.
He had become more determined that the existence of Tahel was a loss for their group. Zack was a little angry at this situation.
"Elaine, are you sure you want to let that boy stay in the group?"
Elaine answered decisively. "Zack, I know you're worried, but we can't leave someone who is weak and has lost his memory like this. You know better how cruel this world is."
Elaine was right, this world is not made for weak people. Weakness means death, but death will not be easy in this world.
Although Zack was a little hesitant, if he ever saw Tahel as an obstacle to the group, he would undoubtedly remove him.
Maybe everyone sees him as a selfish and cruel person, but Elaine and the group were more important to him.
At the same time, Kareena went to meet Tahel. She was a little shy. Then, from behind the door, he watched Tahel, he had regained consciousness and was resting, and his body was no longer trembling and pale like it was then.
Billy, noticing Karina's presence, went towards her.
"Hey, Karina, is something wrong? Did you come to see Tahel?! Come in."
Thanks to Billy, Karina was able to go inside to see the Tahel up close.
Billy turned to Tahel and said: "Tahel is Karina, the youngest member of the group, the one who noticed your condition first and told the rest."
Tahel, after hearing that thanks to Karina, she was saved from the convulsion, turned to the girl and smiled kindly as a thank you, and patted her head with his hand.
The girl accepted Tahel's thanks and left shortly after so that he could rest.
Tahel had not seen Karina well at that time, but now he noticed her beauty, she was like a goddess, as if an angel had fallen from the sky into her.
Tahel could feel the bright and pure energy around that girl.
It was the first time he felt something like that, but it wasn't just a feeling, he saw that energy. He did not feel that way about others. Maybe that girl is different.
Two days later.
Tahel was able to speak and move after two days. His body no longer hurt like before. It seems that the poison soup really worked and made his recovery process faster. However, he was happy because he no longer had to ask anyone for help to change his clothes or go to the bathroom.
However, one thing bothered Tahel. It was the presence of wounds on his chest. as if someone grabbed him with his nails.
But when he talked about that wound with Billy, who had been helping him for the past few days, he noticed something strange.
Billy didn't see those wounds, not only Billy, but even asked Joshua to see his body, but he also said that there were no wounds on his body.
It was really strange. Because those wounds disappeared after two days.
This made him think to himself that maybe he is hallucinating and these are the effects of the seizure and his brain is still not working properly.
However, no matter how much he thought, nothing came to his mind.
His mind was completely cleared of that nightmare.
So he had no choice but to ignore it.
Now that he had recovered, he was going to help Elaine's group from now on.
It was decided that he, along with Josh and Billy, would take turns guarding the entrance.
He still wasn't good with Zack, he had to wait a little bit, anyway, he had just joined the group and hadn't done anything special yet and had even caused them trouble. So of course this will take some time.
Tahel was patrolling around the building when he felt something.
a shadow.
