I. I can't see... Wha-whats going o-n
ARGH! m-my body. It's burning. Worse that anything I could ever feel.
I... I see red. My body in excruciating pain that won't stop. It's no longer red. Fuck this hurts.
My vision is blurry... I see trees. Dirt, the ground. Blood, my blood. A lot of my blood. a reverse pool flowing into my body.
By the GODS! when is this agony ending. Is this the punishment for coming back?
I can finally see. My left eye isn't blurry.
My bones. Muscle dangling from them. Flesh and blood sinking. My body is rebuilding itself.
The skin on my hands and arms is appearing. Pain no longer there but still receiving from further up my body.
I feel the thump of my heart. The feeling of my intestines coming from nothing. It hurts like hell. But was way worse seconds ago.
My body's almost finished rebuilding now. All that's left is hair and my eight eye.
The pain Begins to fade. Feels like my bloods pumped through my veins and arteries for the very first time. Swelling up and down again and again.
Now I have to get my legs out of the ground. And find myself some clothes.
pulling my legs out of the ground I feel the skin slightly peel. The pain became more bearable as the area seems to heal rapidly...
Now to find some help. I believe the nearest town was back east. Without a horse or wyvern to take me. I'd say it'll be about 3 Days travel.
I Might bump into bandits or wanderers before I get there who could help me or be killed. depends...
Now if I recall the sun comes from the north mountains so this way's east... towards the Tribal Town.
The forest seems more dense that before my death. more trees have grown and the taller ones more withered and stained with frozen rain. How long has it truly been? I hope I figure that out soon...
-At the city capital Jeriko of the human empire. -
A man praying to the gods in the main churches of the 10 divines.
"Blessed are you who's works are true.
I ask now May my past sins be forgiven... Allow me to see what's to come in the near.
May I see what comes of the malicious Hero's and gain retribution for what they did to my Sister Noelle and the others not known by the public.
Those murderers and rapists deserve The underworld... Their darkened souls."
W-what... I- see A vision.
(The corpse of Krys resurrecting with the layers of bone-blood-muscle-fat and flesh slowly regenerating as screams come from exposed vocal cords)
He stepped back in shock of what he saw.
T-THAT. IT. HOW!
(Krys the porter of the Party for 6 Months. until then died without a found body lost along the way.)
By the gods...
How can that be. The porter?...
(Echoed footsteps appear).
"My son what are you doing in the church not on the holy day?"
Thank the gods. It's just the priest.
"Forgive me father. I needed to pray...
I wanted to know something."
The priest stopped moving 4 pews from him. His face which once smiled now Emotionless and stiffened.
"What was it you needed to know my child?"
"I-Its Nothing important father..."
My hearts pounding. What's with the cold stare and dead eyes...
"Anyway. I must be going father. May the divines be with you"
I walk passed him to the doors and turn to see him.
The priests' face was covered by shadows unable to be seen yet looking this way.
(The man left.)
"My divine lords. What did the boy ask for?"
Silence echoed with no answer from the Gods...
-2 Days 4 Hours later-
"I've walked non-stop since I came back. Not a single wanderer or traveler. Found some either dirty or bloodied rags. But what's more interesting is that I don't feel tired or in any pain from fatigued muscles...
(~Vsh. an arrow heading directly to Krys)
An arrow? went directly through my neck. The blood spurting. And still no pain...
I'd better fall and act dead.
(Thud)
I hear footsteps. Too light to be heard sitting or standing. But i can hear by the slight vibration of the hardened blades of grass snapping.
They're now next to me... I hear their crouch. Grab their ankle and pull them down as I quickly stand. Collecting any visible weapon before Towering over them.
without thought I speak. " A Child?"
They speak loudly and quite annoyingly. "I may be small but I no child Human"
A Female Elf... but there ears less pointed. scars on both curves...
My Blood spurts rapidly over the stepped on grass. however this ability to heal quickly fixes the issue.
The Elf looks surprised. I'd say bamboozled...
"H-HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT!" They said.
No point in explaining... if she's here then the Tribal Town isn't far from here...
The Elf tries telling me
"Humans aren't allowed in the town anymore. Not since that party filled with scum came by 20 so years ago".
I stop and turn back quickly. "DID YOU SAY 20 YEARS!?"
Has it really been 20 years... I've only been dead 20 years. I thought it been at least 60...
Time really moves differently in the underworld and at a vast amount...
This Elf looks confused to why I didn't know how long the town had banned humans...
Now gain your composure and keep moving.
"What are you?" she asked
"Excuse me?" I Reply
"Your neck! How it healed is very strange. Never seen anything like it. no human is capable of such an ability"
This Elf seems to know of humans Abilities and assumes I'm something else. its a reasonable thought since No human can do as advance healing as my corpse can...
The healing should've stopped days ago after my body healed. Somehow, someway I'm still Healing...
Only reason I can think why is my time in the underworld. Whatever effects were used down there, I have taken through prolonged absorption to Hell Spawn.
Few hours and I'll be at the village...
