Chapter 15 - A Vow In The Dark

I tried to open my eyes, It was hard at first as the sunlight was directly falling on my face, and My vision was still blurry.

I expected myself to be lying down in the forest while half dead due to massive bleeding but instead, I was lying on a soft bed.

My eyes adjusted to the sunlight fully as I sat up and examined the room around me, It was a big room that could accommodate an entire family.

There were fancy decorations all over the walls, An expensive furniture that was probably- considering this was a magical world it might be made of some kind of monster skin.

At the end of the foot of the bed, there was the balcony, It was covered with curtains of ocean blue colour the kind of curtains that you would only see in TV shows of chaebol drama.

Right now I am sure this wasn't the home of an ordinary person, I looked around the room to consider who had brought me here.

I had to find out who it was and where he was now.

I used all my mind to come around the conclusion that it was Euris who brought me here.

It might seem strange but all the evidence like how expensive this place looked means villagers can no way live in this place only a noble has such luxury.

The other reason I had arrived at this conclusion is that no villagers had dared to go near the strange forest and only an outsider, especially a superhuman would go there.

Of course, the evidence or the reasoning may seem superficial as there are too many variables in this world.

I mean I could also be kidnapped by a criminal group- scratch that no criminal group would leave me in such an expensive place.

It may be also that whoever kidnaps me had a fetish for a young child, I mean sick and pervert Nobels are usually one of the villains in fantasy settings.

No if I think like this there can be infinite possibilities and I am more likely to believe it was Euris who brought me here due to my trust in my instincts.

As I kept thinking of many different things a man suddenly opened the door and came he had a complicated expression on his face.

I couldn't understand why he had such an expression on his face.

Ah shit I am an idiot, of course, he would look at me like this.

I mean if I saw a kid who is not even 10 years old laying down in the forest covered in blood I would freak out.

I became cautious as to whether he had found I had awakened my superpowers and what he was thinking.

Does he think that I was attacked by animals or that I did do it to myself.

It's hard for me to get an accurate read on his emotions.

It's a relief that at least my injuries were healed by my superpower.

I found it hard for him to figure out that I did this to myself.

I mean who would think a kid to do something like this to himself but it is also dangerous if he found the sharp stone.

There is also the possibility that he was watching me from the beginning but I find it hard to believe not because I think he can't escape from my perception but because I doubt that someone who brought me here would watch me get injured.

I met his eyes and said "Thank You".

Perhaps he wasn't expecting me to say something like this seeing how shocked he was and he mumbled something under his breath.

I tried to catch what he said but wasn't able to so I became silent.

We both stared into each other eyes and then he suddenly walked out of the house leaving me all alone.

I sighed after he had gone and suddenly became worried or even afraid that Euris had noticed that I had wounds and they healed on their own but what made me more afraid was that he would tell the old man about what happened.

It was normal for an adult to tell the parents of the child if he found the child to be injured.

My brain understood that it was normal for Euris to tell him that but my heart didn't want him to know.

I was afraid that the old man who accepted me even though he didn't know my origins.

A child who was abandoned by everyone would start to become afraid of me.

I didn't care about others but at least him- I didn't want him to look at me like I am a freak.

I started to walk out of Euris house slowly with a cloud of negative emotions over my head.

I reached my house after some time while also worrying about what might happen but it looks my worries were of no reason as the old man didn't know anything.

It was relief from the bottom of my heart. I just became happy when the old man suddenly asked me.

"What happened to you"

He asked while looking at my clothes which were a little wet.

I had washed my clothes so that any stain of blood did not remain but the clothes were still not given any time to dry.

I told him that I dirted my clothes while playing with water.

He shook his head with a burst of laughter and was probably thinking what a naughty child I am.

Then he asked me to go to my room to change my clothes which I happily agreed with.

I changed my wet clothes and joined the old man for tea.

The tea was of not good quality and was a little hard on the tongue but I was happy nevertheless.

I started to compare the warmth right now with my previous life and was a little sad that there was no warmth but only sadness.

I looked at the old man who was beaming while drinking the cheap tea and decided in that moment.

Even if the sky turned red, the ocean swallow the land.

Even if everything was over I would protect him.
