Burning Soul - Chapter 183

“Liya, don’t be late okay!” it was a voice of a girl, “Yeah sister, I won’t! How many times I have to tell you, I’m old enough don’t worry!” The reply was of another girl.

“Gosh, she’s going to be a lady someday, I worry how she’d turn out to be!” The other girl sighed as she watched the younger girl run out of the house worry-free,

“Don’t worry much about her! She’s just like her father, wild and energetic always.” A motherly voice replied.

Everything looked like it had happened somewhere, the wounded girl stood in the centre of all the things going around, ‘What’s happening? Why I’m seeing this all?’

The other girl walked right through her to her mother who just replied.

‘Ah, right, it’s my house!’ She realised it soon.

Suddenly a few flashbacks went past her eyes, a messenger warning people, ambush, deaths of people, she and her family members getting taken away by people!

.

.

‘Yeah, that lot happened right! But what’s going to happen to me? Am I going to die?

Just like that?’ that young one had so many thoughts on her mind.

As she thought, a faint voice echoed in her ear, “Theo, she’s turning pale! Hurry up with those potions!”

“Yeah! I’m working on it Milot, it’s not like I’m always walking with healing potions. I kept them in the bag somewhere! Let me find it!”

“Hurry up! Her pulse is slowed!”

.

‘what are they doing? Why are they here? Who are they? Am I being saved? Or just getting handed over to another monster?

Like hell, I care now!

Just leave me and go already.’

.

She had given up already and had no energy to even lift her head and look around.

.

.

Meanwhile, Theo managed to find the healing potion from the sack. He opened up the first bottle and fed it to her directly.

Unfortunately, she was too tired to even drink that.

“What’s wrong!” Milot asked as he saw the potion dripping down to the floor.

“She’s tired to even open her mouth! What they did to her! “Theo replied in anger. He was not angry at her but was angry with the conditions that made her like that.

He had only two potions, if she couldn’t drink by herself, it would turn into a big problem.

“Theo!

Help her drink it, that’s the only way!” Milot suggested him.

Theo in reply gazed at him in question, “What do you mean to make her drink?”

“You know what I mean just do it as I carry her!

I understand it’s not ideal but we have to keep her alive at any cost right? If I’m correct we’ll need cleansing magic to heal her thoroughly!” Milot replied as they walked, they were still a bit away from the open area.

“Firstly, can you scout the area for us, we don’t want to walk in any danger with her right!” Milot asked Theo who nodded in agreement.

He then went on to scout the area ahead, being trained as assassin class and spent a lot in exploring ruins, it was a perfectly suited job for him, combined with newly acquired shadow domain skills, he was surely having it easy.

Milot waited as Theo scouted, he was constantly monitoring her condition. Thanks to him being beastmen, his sense was quite high and could easily use them to diagnose any abnormality within her body, things like pulse, breathing, blood pressure and flow of mana, he could easily sense it all.

Theo returned with a confident look, it indicated things were clear up ahead.

“Although it’s looking clear right now, we shouldn’t spend a long time here. Being in the open area for longer while being surrounded but enemies, I wouldn’t recommend it!

Besides, let’s take her there and give her the potion, maybe some fresh air would do magic!” Theo suggested.

“Yeah, totally!” Milot replied and then proceeded to walk there with Theo, “You gotta do it though!” He narrowed his eyes on him.

.

.

“Mom, something bad happened in the capital! The people are running around.” The little girl came rushing into the house.

‘Huh!

Why am I seeing this again?’ She stood right before her afterimage in the dream thinking, ‘Right, that’s right. I went to mom to warn her about it!’

The little girl went right through her again to hug her mother, “Mom, is everything okay?” she asked worriedly.

“It’s okay dear, it’s probably a small commotion! After all the ruler and his children are quite powerful, they’ll handle it and it’ll be soon back to normal!” She assured her while tightly hugging her back.

‘Right! She was right!

It didn’t last long, the commotion. Only what followed was…’

.

.

She slowly opened her eyes. The healing potion was kicking in, the way Milot suggested worked wonders.

“You woke a sleeping beauty huh!” He giggled,

‘Huh! Am I awake or is it another dream? What is this sensation, my body is burning from within but it’s not the kind of burning that hurts, it’s rather soothing!’

“How can you joke about it! Thanks to you I lost my precious first kiss.” Theo looked away from her,

“Well, only by you as a medium could she ingest the potion, it’s an old textbook technique, how did you not know, Theo?” Milot poked fun of him,

The way Theodore made her drink the potion was he drank it and using enhancement magic ingested in her mouth, one could call it a kiss though when it comes to lifesaving measures, that was the only direct way to make her drink the potion.

‘Heal! If I remember correctly what follows is…

It’s all over then’

Her eyes widened as her entire body trembled in fear, sweat began building upon her face as a single line slipped from her young body, “Kill m-eee already!”
