Avon gained consciousness and felt his entire body hurt. He remembered what happened and just cursed his fate.
' I will definitely die here... My parents,master and Laia, Ms.Aveline and Sylvia, master Silea and sister Zia....they will never know what happened here ....I am just going to die like this. Forgive me master, if because of me you lose to that heretic....
I am sorry for being so unreliable...'
He could feel his life force fading away..
' I don't wanna die like this...not like this...I had so much to do, so much to see, so much to experience...but now I will die a pathetic death like this..no...no..'
In his frustration, he let out a primal scream from his gut, one he couldn't hear himself.
His entire body pained but he continued screaming.
His scream echoed through forest he was in, attracting the attention of all the beasts present.
He stopped screaming once he felt his windpipe choke up because of his blood.
He just layed wherever he was, all burnt up, damaged and broken mentally.
Suddenly he felt something lift him up.
'Seems like a beast has come....so this is how I die...'
He waited and waited for his death, but it never came...
Why?
He felt his body being moved, no that he tried to make sense of what was happening, he felt his body being carried...
Maybe somebody found him...
His heart throbbed a little stronger on that thought.
Maybe he could be saved...
He decided to stay conscious till he could no longer be so, rather than give up.
After what seemed an eternity, he felt some warmth all over his body, slowly he felt his ears being restored and his hearing too...
Then the burns on his body were reducing and after a while he felt his body heal up completely.
"Little brother! You are alive!"
He felt someone hug him hard. Squeezing him with their arms.
"Elder sister..."
"My dear disciple...please tell me who dared to do this to you?"
He heard another voice,
"Master Silea?.."
"Wing master Silea was the one who healed you little brother...I just checked you location in the token to make sure your were safe at your dorm but I saw that you were deep in the forests, so I rushed there and saw you in that...burnt state with your ears...gone. I tried to speak to you but you couldn't hear anything...so I directly brought you to Wing masters Silea's chamber. Then she immediately healed you.."
"So tell me Avon, who did this to you?"
Silea asked again.
"Surang and his lackeys"
Avon answered weakly. He was still tired and felt pain in various parts of his body.
"But how, he should be held captive-"
"No, he said his brother is a part of the disciplinary division and let him out.."
Avon cut off Zia's question answering flatly.
"What did they do to you?"
Silea asked him.
He told everything that has happened. His pain could be felt in his voice. After listening to everything, Silea spoke,
"Disciple Zia, take care of Avon. I will return in some time."
Saying so she left.
Zia again hugged Avon, this time even tighter.
"I am sorry little brother, I should've come sooner....maybe if I hadnt left you alone in the dorm this could've been avoided"
"How is it your fault? By the way, I didn't know you could see my location?"
Avon asked with genuine curiosity.
"Actually disciples can look at each other's locations of they permit it simultaneously. I had permitted myself using your token when we had received them. I did it just in case, if you were lost...I am sorry for not telling you.."
"It's fine..after all you saved me. I had already given up on my life..."
Zia just stroked his hair to help him feel warm.
After a while Silea returned.
"Avon, I will be keeping you in my realm till you are completely healed. And Little girl, you have done well. From now, you can approach me for any help you need anytime. For now go and rest, I will take care of him"
Again Avon was teleported to the realm.
In there he heard Silea speak,
"Avon, your eyes were burned to a severe extent. And since your body doesn't recognise them anymore I couldn't heal them. So I will help you how to materialize them right away, learn it quickly and get to making new eyes for yourself. I don't know what will happen if we delay anymore."
Hearing that Avon killed all his thoughts and began focusing on learning the new technique.
He had no idea how long he spent learning the new technique, it was very difficult to do, especially when he had to make complex nerves and cells.
He had to gain intuition on how to make a body organ by studying his own body and trying out various methods.
Silea guided him throughout the process.
After what seemed like months, he finally succeeded at making function eyes.
He opened his eyes, he could see now!
Finally!
But his vision was blurry. There was no quality.
"You must continue cultivating while diverting the mana to your eyes to slowly heal them. Don't open them until they've completely healed.
Silea instructed and after another eternity he felt his eyes not accepting anymore mana.
He slowly opened his eyes again, and was greeted by a beautiful sight.
A clear sky, a wide grassland with a few trees present. Beautiful pink flowers everywhere and petals and leaves floating in the air carried by the wind.
He had his vision back!
He was happy like a child. A smile spread across his face.
"Congratulations Avon"
He heard a voice from behind.
"Master..."
He turned around and saw a beautiful and tall woman with light pink hair before him. She was very beautiful... just like Reveria.
She wore a white dress with a pink flower pattern in it, the flower looked exactly like the ones present everywhere. She had fair skin and large eyes with yellow pupils.
He looked at her for a while.
"Ogling at me as soon as you gained your vision back?"
She tilted her head, placing her hand below her chin and smiled while playfully asking the question.
"No master...it's just that you are very beautiful..."
"Hmmm....."
She didn't say anything and just smiled.
Avon closed his eyes for a while, letting everything sink in.
He then joined his hands and bowed before her,
"Master, thank you for everything. I can never repay what I owe you..."
"Enough with all that. Let us celebrate this victory. Avon, no one has done what you did just now.
Indeed I am the one who developed this method but you are the one who executed it. It is not easy to just direct energy to different organs and materialize organs over the nerve endings like you did.
Even I do not have confidence in achieving that, but you perfected it. It is your achievement that must be celebrated"
Avon didn't know this, he was even happier knowing that he could help hisaster by proving her ways were correct.
But now that he back in his peak condition.
He had to get back to work. The medallion hadn't shined yet, it was still on him. It hadn't melted when he was burnt and was still with him. He had some time. Maybe there was some disturbance in the flow of time or maybe the medallion didn't work for some reason, the only reason to find out was to complete it and return it to Reveria.
"Master..you must know my situation....I should get back to my-"
"I know Avon, I have a plan for that. Don't worry"
She interrupted him.
"As I already told you that the current knight is an imposter. He doesn't come out regularly but he does come for important events. I have made it so that the other wing masters will arrange a tournament in the upcoming month. The knight will be there. I will train you so that you win the tournament. After that I and other wing masters will attack the knight and I will steal his ring, you use it to find the piece you need and escape."
"Master, do other wing masters also know that he is an imposter?"
"Yes, we have been thinking of an opportunity to strike him, I was going to take my time but the imposter plans on doing something soon and we must act before that. Also teh quicker we act teh sooner you can leave for Philon."
"Thank you master...but master, can you all defeat the knight?"
"Ofcourse. I alone am enough, but since many people will be nearby I won't use my power to its full extent. There is no need to worry, it's just that we wanted to do it covertly rather than in front of everyone...but it does not matter. "
"Thank you master, also....do I need to win the tournament? I mean I must focus on not getting injured and leaving the planet safely, right?"
"What do you mean, you are my disciple, you must win."
Avon understood what she meant,he couldn't argue,
"Understood master."
"Also, don't worry, on Philon things are different. You will have an easy time there. I would have come with you and helped Reveria if not for the knight issue pertaining. It seems like the heretics made a long term operation to drastically strengthen themselves."
