Chapter 2 - Dream Realm (2)

A few days has passed since he found the animal and its already nothing but bones. He feels satiated yet also disgusted by how the animal tasted.

He hears the voices of people again and the young man who originally came with the older male, now a pile of torn flesh and bones, among them.

"Y-Yes mister hunter i saw that cr-creature right here and it is exactly as d-described by you with the spiked fur and-and" he stutters with visible fright on his face whilst the man he's talking to has an annoyed look on his face.

"Talk properly you idiot i can barely understand you with your constant stuttering" the man shouts with obvious annoyance.

"Ah sorry sir well em the man i was with is right there—" pointing towards the remains of the man before a scream for help comes out from the hole.

The men jump in shock as many murmured to eachother about the talking flesh and bones but the hunter remains unphased as he shouts to his men.

"You idiots it obviously didn't come from that pile of flesh it came from the hole so you all better get to work on getting whoever the hell is in there out".

The boy, with his experience with other awakened speculates that the man has a sensory aspect.

Now that he's finally being rescued he allows himself to be relieved as he lets the spell manifest the runes that he put off summoning in order to stay focused in case something fell into the hole.

Attributes: {Dream Spawn} {Sickly} {Plague Expertise}

Looking at his runes, he starts feeling anger well up inside of him as he reads through his attributes.

{Dream Spawn} You are born of two worlds, belonging to both, but welcomed in neither. Your soul exists on the edge between nightmare and reality.

{Sickly} Your body is infected with a contagious disease, brought on by your desperation of hunger

{Plague Expertise} You have a well of knowledge of known sicknesses as well as being able to identify those not known to others and their symptoms

None of these would help him in fighting or to help in survival with his third attribute somewhat increasing his ability to survive but almost pointless if no one is there to help him if he got sick.

He is pulled up as he gets help from someone who patched up his legs and healed it with some sort of aspect.

He follows the men back to the village where they come from as the second attribute makes him confused on how its come to be.

The men, after bringing him to the village, leave him there after questioning him with the boy talking about what he heard during the time he was down in the hole.

Watching the backs of the leaving men, he notices one of them looking exhausted and pale faced compared to how he was before.
