Ficool

Chapter 86 - volume Eighty Six

I was concerned for Marcus well being. For the reason of why or how come this healing potion doesn't work. Autumn didn't know what to say, she just looked at the potion. Maybe she thinks that the old man had lost his mind. She read the description on the bottle, she dropped the bottle. The bottle crashed on the floor, pieces of glass went across the floor. I went over to her too see if she had gotten cut due to the broken glass. " Jim do you know what this means for Marcus?!. It doesn't matter how much we can give him, it will never actually help him. If the highest healing potion known to man. It doesn't work for him that potion we all seen what it can do, it brought plenty of people back from the dead. So what is Marcus?!". I didn't know how to respond to Autumn. My mind is still wrapped around the fact that an old man out in the middle of the woods have this caliber potion. I scanned the room for any type of sorcerer books, I've found nothing though. He is not a demon cause the language that he is speaking is exactly like ours. " Sir, what did you do before settling down?!. Also how do you know my name?!. I'm not mad at you I just want answers. Cause you are causing my hair too stand up right now.". The old woman put his hand on his shoulder, " sweety it's okay. I think it's time for you to come out of hiding!". He standed up from his kneeling position. His mood changed rapidly, he walked over to a shelf against the wall. He reached inside of the shelf, a small click was made. What is this old man doing?!, I quickly grabbed my sword. I do not want to use it against him, this thing will be my last resort. The shelf slide back, behind a shelf was a dark room. Well at least I think it's a room, honestly I couldn't tell what it is cause of how dark it is. The darkness reminded me of the space I was in when me and Autumn talked to Darkouls, the old woman walked over to us. " It's okay!, you can trust him. I can't fight like he use to anymore.". What did she mean by that, I gave Autumn a concerned look. Before I could look at her she had done went inside the room. The old woman started to changed Marcus out of his weird clothes. I slowly walked over the room, the dark swallowed the light. " God, bless these people who gave us shelter. Amen.". I entered the room, I could not see them inside of the room. Nor could I smell Autumn, her smell is always blood. No matter how many times she washes her self. Walking around in the dark, wondering how far away are they. I have no other choice but to trust them. I bumped into a figure, a woman voice echoed the room. The voice was Autumn. After she made her voice heard, a small click sound made its way in. A light lit up the room, that we were In. The old man was struggling to put the candle down, I wanted to help the old man. He gave up and threw it on the ground, " stupid fucking thing!". Several chest were located in this small space. I wanted to look inside to see what this old man was hiding from us. I felt a tug on clothes, I looked over to Autumn pointing at the corner of the room. I had to wait for the light to hit the corner of the room, she must got use to seeing in the dark. A couple of minutes went past before revealing what she is pointing at, it was something I haven't seen since I was a little child. The old man voice was sloppy now, " now you know the secret of this old fragile man. Before you ask why?!, let me ask you something first. What are you doing out here Autumn Brite?!. Y'all probably don't even recognize me anymore. Before I tell you, what is Marcus to y'all?!". Autumn was stuttering, " H-H-how do you know my full name?!, who are you old man?!". After her question she grabbed her daggers, the old man started laughing. Well at least her tried to laugh but he just ended up coughing way more than laughing. I went to the corner of the room, were they was a dusty mage cloak. This cloak had seen it's better days, I can tell that this person is someone that is not to be played with. I this world mages are awarded with elemental markes. The more clear the elements are the stronger the mage, the elements shines more than the lit candle. A small box was at the bottom of the cloak. It must be his wand or staff, normally staffs aren't that small. " Fine. We are on a quest to set straight about the death behind Adamsin. We have a strong gut feeling from the information that was provided to me. That Marcus has something to do with it". He breathe was very weak, it was heavier than before. Did I accidentally threatened him?, Autumn started to mess with the box. " Autumn and Jim it's been almost two decades since I've seen y'all. What kind do information do you have on my dear old friend?!, what kind do power does that child have to be connected with Adamsin?!". My dear old friend, I think this old man has lost his mind. I can't tell him that he has the same power of Adamsin, what other choice do I have. " Marcus I can't comprehend what power he has, I can tell you that he welds Adamsin blades". The old man grabbed the cloak from the stand, kicking opened the box. " Well seeing how it's been so long. Your looking at the Prodigal!".
