Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Where have you been?! How's your sister?

(Sister, damn it... I can't tell her that I had to get rid of this burden.)

The illness worsened and she died...

 (Victor)

 

She hugged me, started to cry. And said I can't imagine how you must feel.

It´s ok. I calmed her down

What is your name?!

She stared at me with her huge eyes.

 

Victor, what have you been drinking again? You can't drink for a whole month! Now it's clear what you were doing... She turned away, her lips pouting.

 

No, I didn't drink, I woke up on the street a month ago, beaten up with a headache, with complete memory loss (Dave said, laughing nervously). If it weren't for the letters from the hospital and the pile of papers from creditors, I wouldn't have remembered anything about my sister... I was most likely beaten up for debts...

 

What a horror! Did they really beat you that badly? Victor, this is completely abnormal, and what happens next time, will they kill you?! Why don't you want to tell the guards or the King what's happening? This isn't the first time they've beaten you. Why are you so stubborn! And why don't you want to ask for help?

 

(Yes, I myself am interested in why the Master of this body is so stubborn... But what if the Master of this body had reasons not to contact the police. She apparently has not yet fully realized that I do not understand what she is talking about...)

 

Mia, I don't know why I'm so stubborn. * I said with a nervous laugh.

 

Mia had tears running down her cheeks.

Sorry, I thought you were just joking. You don't remember anything at all?

 

Yeah, kind of...

She hit me in the head with a right hook, so hard that my head started ringing and I started seeing double. I never thought that a young girl could hit me so hard.

 

For what? - Dave asked, clutching his head.

 

Sorry, I thought it would help. My grandma always said that a fire is driven out with a fire. (She said, smiling innocently like a child who has been scolded but doesn't want to admit it.)

 

(Okay, at least she didn't kill me, it seems like another load has been added...)

Mia, who are you to me? Are you my sister or my girlfriend?

Mia blushed and said shyly. No, I'm not your sister or girlfriend, we're just friends...

 

(Having decided that I wouldn't be able to get much information from Mia, it would be better to find some merchant, I headed towards the Merchant who was standing nearby)

 

She grabbed my hand and asked.

Where are you headed?

I need to go to the merchant to find out something...

 

I haven't seen you for a whole month! Your merchant will wait!

 

But Mia, the debtors can come back to me at any moment.

You never have time for me!

(What the hell is wrong with this girl)

Dave began to walk towards the merchant, not paying attention to her indignation, but she began to call the guards.

Dave covered her mouth with his hand, okay, you won!

 

She smiled playfully and lead me in an unknown direction.

(This crazy woman will definitely destroy me and why did the owner of this body even communicate with this crazy woman...) After that, she led me to an unknown basement. When She put my hand to the wall, the wall disappeared and a secret room with sarcophagi and various strange symbols on the walls appeared.

Mia approached one of the sarcophagi, knelt down and began to pray. When she finished, a black cube with red stripes appeared from the sarcophagus.

 

 

What is this ?

You asked me to give you this if you lose your memory. I don't know what it is myself, but you told me that it is important and that this artifact will help in the right hour.

(Perhaps this girl is not as simple as I thought at first...)

When I approached the sarcophagus and took the artifact that was floating in the air, this artifact changed color and became purple, an electric charge passed through my skin and I began to feel sick. I almost fell from dizziness, but managed to restrain myself.

 

 

The nausea went away and the artifact returned to its original color.

Mia had a worried look on her face, but I put the artifact in my backpack and assured her that everything was okay.
