The Broken Prince - Chapter 105
And it is as if fate was listening, a healing kit appeared and levitated towards where we are. I immediately grabbed it and opened the box to look for a syringe which would contain all the antigens to help the body fight the poison which is likely infested with a bunch of small parasites and if that gets to his brain, he won’t die but he’ll go crazy.
When I found it, I immediately plunged it into Kaval’s neck which he might have felt as he released a groan of agony which is kind of a relieve as it means he is still, well half conscious and his nerves were till not that damaged by the poison. The redness of his skin then started to disappear and he started to breathe steadily which means that the poison has started to disappear and the antigen had started to work its way through his veins.
Standing up, I heaved a huge breath and placed a concealment spell on the nearby area so that no elemental traces will be detected here as using my power to fix his broken bones is quite a hard task as it would likely take half of my elemental power for today to heal him but I have no choice but to do it as if I do not and just leave him be, he might not be poisoned but he is still is not able to move and he can’t heal himself because he is to weak and disoriented. Best I heal him now and we both recover so that by tomorrow, we will be set to fight.
With my eyes closed and mind focused, I summoned all forms of wind and gathered them in a tiny sphere, condensing the element present within them to bind Kaval’s broken limbs. If only Dianne was here, she would have easily healed this big child.
My hands feels like sandpaper was rubbing as the elemental condensation was starting to get denser and denser as moments passed by. Leaves became gray the grass wilted as I consumed their elemental condensation. Once I felt like it was too much to handle, with much control, I slammed the ball towards Kavals chest making him grunt once more..
I kept pushing and pushing until the sphere disappeared and spread throughout his body. It takes precise movements to be able to do this as if the sphere got out of your hand and control, you might start a whole tornado here and I mean not that I wouldn’t do it but because Kaval also might end up becoming worse as his elemental properties might get sucked in with the sphere.
A cracking sound was heard and I knew that it was his bones as he immediately opened his eyes and started to scream in extreme pain. Well, it’s either that or he stays useless. His eyes opened wide as his mouth released the most sound I had heard him since we met. It was a goof thing that there was an air dome around us because the others would have heard us a mile away.
After a while of his agony, Kaval was laying on the grass and was breathing hard. I too was quite exhausted trying to heal him and turn him back to his shape. Sure did take a toll on me. I sat on the grass as I laid my back on the boulder right behind me. My stomach was also churning in hunger as we haven;t eaten yet since this morning.
Kaval and I were supposed to scan the previous area that we were in and look for food but it seemed like it was not food that he had saw but Alexander and his crew. I did not expect him as well to go on head to head with the prince of the sea but he did. He might have undermined Alexanders ability too much. He might not show it but he still think that skill wise, Alexander is still superior to him but look at what happened, he learned that what he believed in was the biggest lie he believed and he learned that in the hardest way. Quite the reveal and slap of proof if I do say so myself.
The two of us did not make a sound because we were too tired, the sun has also started to come down which is quite the trouble as the instructor that was on our team spoke of the arena changing the type of place that we were in and for the previous hour since we got here, no changes has been made so we must stay alert because we may end up with a deserted environment with no water.
So despite with my heavy body, I stood up and took the initiative to go and look for food, I had caught a rabbit previously but then I dropped it and went to the huge explosion nearby and thought of Kaval and Hade clashing but to my utter shock, it was Kaval and Alexander having a clash. What more shocking is that Alexander managed to beat the hell out of this idiot. Although I think he might have not done that much of a damage to Kaval if arrived earlier but to think that he has no powers and still comes to match to one of us, what more when he has his now? I mean his colleagues did do their parts to take down Kaval and not to mention that there were five of them.
I hurriedly then looked around the nearby grounds for food, even if it was just a fruit, as long as we had something to fill our stomachs with. Heaving a sigh, I used my power to capture a deer that was nearby. I used my power to such the air out of it and it was dead and laying lifeless within the blink of an eye. Now it’s cleaning this that can be nasty and troublesome but then again, I have no option but do it. It did took me a while and all of my knowledge about butchering animals properly which I learned when I was probably thirteen when my grandfather took me to hunting the falcons wing in our kingdom where there are a lot of wild creatures.
I then used my power to summon dry woods and once they were present before me, I ten started a fire without a smoke. I did it by using an old incantation that have been taught to me when I was a kid. It was a trick during the early times when our ancestors battled against the man from the void and his armies. People who sided with our ancestors used to camp and get caught by the trail of smoke soaring high to the air which provides visual and your location to your enemy. Thus my great grandfather came to the subject of learning the arts of wind to which this incantation was founded then, he then went on to teach it to the people and it helped them very much so as it enabled them to cook as they were still on standby from their journey towards the war against them and the man from the void.
Nowadays, only a few knows this incantation as overtime, it has become one of the things that is exclusive only to the royal family and even if we wanted to teach our people, they will not be able to do it as only those who has still strong inclination to the past, particularly to the first ruler of our kingdom which is my greatest of my greatest grandfather.
I was roasting a piece of the deer that I caught and once it was done, I motioned Kaval and asked him if he could now move to which he nodded without saying anything. We then ate in silence and despite the food lacking salt, it was better than anything we could have in here because we just need to have something to eat and it was either this tasteless food over an empty stomach while in battle. Your stamina will be gone with just one use of your elemental ability.
“How was your experience with Alexander? I now trust that you have learned your lesson not to undermine and underestimate him too much.” I started the topic. Kaval looked very very focused and then he looked at me.
“He is quite the archer and it has now dawn on me that he is quite the same as us with just his arrow regenerating bow.” He spoke. I just snickered at him before going on to speak.
“Well how was the hit of his arrow. You had your bones broken, lungs swollen and shirt tore.” I said trying to irritate him. He just snickered and looked up the stars.
“He really did prove everything that he said back there. It was indeed a mistake to underestimate him but now that we know how he is. Then facing him again will be easy.” He spoke. Though I want to agree, I can’t help but feel that he is very wrong with his statement and something is amiss between this.
