I knocked again...
And again...
And again...
But again, no answer?
Uncle Rukoji should be home. He isn't allowed to leave home...
Yet...
Because of an earlier incident, which resulted in him breaking his right leg.
He can't walk yet.
And he isn't allowed to.
I got worried and entered without thinking.
I shouted his name, but to no respond.
Maybe i should check upstairs where his bedroom is. I took 2 steps further inside the dimly lit house when i felt something dripping on my shoulder. I looked at it.
IT'S BLOOD!
I looked up and saw blood seeping trough the cracks of the wooden boards of the second floor.
That's where his bedroom is.
I grabbed a dagger that he always keeps at the entrance inside the house in case of an attack on the village. Sometimes he needs it for close combat, because he only knows long ranged spells. So i ran up the stairs, ready to face an assassin, because my parents have enemies, but my parents were too strong for them so they went for a different approach. But as i got inside his bedroom i only saw my uncle on his bed. Both his lungs perforated. That's probably why he didn't answer. I looked him in the eyes and told him to hold on and that i would get a doctor.
With the last of his strength he pointed behind me and as i looked the assisting became visible again.
An invisibility spell.
Before i could react he swung his fist, enhancing the punch with magic. Instantly knocking me out.
Everything went black...
