Chapter 17 (Part Two)

Detrimental

Two days later, Switch finally woke up, seeing Anonym sleeping next to him. She was still in a sitting position, but her head was beside his body and looking very pale.

Swallowing, he went to touch her, but then he saw his arm. It was back to normal!

Looking at his other arm, he saw the same thing!

Sitting up, he found that he wasn’t weak anymore either…What had she done?

Knowing that he had tried to heal himself and it hadn’t worked, he looked at her and blinked. If nothing existed that could heal him, then what had she done!?

Seeing her look very pale, he tried to heal her, but remembered that she had soul scribed her soul to no longer accept magic…

Becoming a little scared, he started to lightly hit her cheeks, “Wake up!”

“Mmm.” Anonym mumbled, before she got more comfortable again and went back to sleep.

Wanting to bite his lips because he was uncertain, he shook her again. “Anonym!”

Bringing her up, to be beside him on the bed, she started to move and opened her eyes a little bit. “Switch!”

Seeing her unable to move much, he cuddled her, “Are you ok?”

“Mmm, just tired.” Even though he heard these words, they were weak…

He cuddled her even tighter and felt her shudder.

“What’s wrong? Are you ok?” He asked. Had he hugged her too tightly?

Anonym put a hand to his face and smiled. “I’m…So glad, you’re okay!”

Taking her hand in his, he kissed her forehead, “I don’t know how you did it, but I’m all better now!”

She lightly chuckled, “For two days I tried to rid your sickness, by transferring it into something else, see?”

She pointed to a huge pile of black tainted stones, that looked close to ash. Some had broken in half or quarters, some even had broken in a h.e.l.l of lot more scattered bits and pieces, but they were all black and looked terrible.

Switch couldn’t believe it had been possible, with such a sickness, he honestly thought he was going to die again.

Looking down at her, he smiled, “Thank you.”

She smiled lazily back, it really felt good to see his eyes opened and talking, it made her very happy!

Leaning her forehead against his, she put her hands to his face and finally said the words that she wanted to say. “I love you, Switch. Don’t ever…Ever do that again!”

Putting his hands to her face, he looked at her with smiling eyes. He had wanted to hear those words from her for such a long time! Finally, having heard them, he said the same words back to her.

Taken in the moment, he kissed her. It really was a soft kiss at first, gentle like a breeze. But, as she put her hands around his neck, he deepened the kiss and laid on top of her.

This girl…This woman!

Such a stubborn thing!

Anonym felt like Switch had even changed the way he touched her. Little sparks were felt all over her body and her heart could not slow down! Having even more of a keener sense now, it was so much better than their first and second kiss. His normal smell, his normal touch!

He was alive! This man was alive…And he loves me!

Suddenly, this man became even more precious to her.

She did feel tired, but his mouth lingering over her, kept her awake and feeling like she was falling into an addictive state of never wanting to stop!

Switch couldn’t help but leave his mark all over this beautiful, stubborn woman!

He had thought that was the end, but she’d saved him…Then she told him such sweet words that he could reminisce a thousand times over in the future!

Her body was like silken, smooth jade, that he couldn’t get enough of! He was indeed, also addicted.

Both bodies, seemed to be thinking of how happy they were at this precise moment…

After Switch left Anonym, a few hours later, the first thing he wanted to do was to see his son. Having felt like he almost lost his family, he couldn’t wait to make even better time with what he has!

The strange thing was, he wasn’t afraid of death…He had already died so many times! What he was afraid of, was losing what he has at this moment!

Just like Anonym, he had thought that if he had died, who knew the next time they could see each other! How long it might take!

If he had died and then come to seek her out later, the dragons might attack him. Or he might even be a different gender…Thinking more about it, gender wouldn’t stop him from seeking her out! But, perhaps there would be a huge age gap and after quite some time she might forget about him…

Trying hard, he tried not to think and walked around the corner, to his son’s place, within the cave.

There he was…Such a grub!

Smiling, he watched his son eat and throw around his wooden sword that had seen better days. Unable to stay away, Switch was determined to spend some time with him.

Being very happy to just be in his son’s presence, he did whatever Alex wanted to do…And Alex, of course, wanted to fight!

So, Switch made two new wooden swords and smiled warmly at Alex. “Show me what you’ve learnt, my son!”

Actually, Switch was totally taken aback! Alex had indeed, improved immensely!

And, Alex took after his mother by being totally ruthless and making Switch hurt in places and trip over! Had he been gone that long that his son rules over him with this!

Becoming serious, Switch fought back with more vigour and both of them couldn’t seem to stop, as they started to sweat and have blisters on their hands!

When his own son didn’t yield to him, Switch sighed. “Okay, let me see your hands. We’ll stop for now.”

Alex put up his sword, “No!”

Both of them! Both of them were as stubborn as h.e.l.l!

“Yes!” Switch said, putting down his sword and kneeled down, “Now, come here!”

Seeing his father so serious, Alex could only do as he was told. He wasn’t happy about it though! His own mother had told him that enduring only makes you stronger!

But, he couldn’t go against his father…

The conflicted boy went to his father and watched as he magically healed him.

Taken aback, due to Switch’s sudden embrace, Alex let out a funny sound.

“Alex, you make me a proud father!”

Feeling strange, Alex tried to pull back but couldn’t. His mother rarely spoke words like these, making him unsure how to respond.

Switch only pulled back enough so that he could look at his face. “In the future, I will teach you how to use your magic.”

“But..”

“No buts!” Switch said.

Closing his mouth, Alex stared at his father. Taken by his seriousness, he nodded and smiled.

Being such a young boy, Alex’s thoughts ended up being quite easy and suddenly, he became a much more doting son to his father!

A whole new window opened up for this little boy as he looked at his father, who had just suddenly become his hero!

“Okay!”

Switch and Alex ended up a very close couple after that, and when Anonym finally woke up, a day later, she saw this…

She was no longer pale, instead looking healthy and lively, which made Switch happy.

When he made room for her at the table, she stood there with a strange look.

“What’s wrong?” Switch asked.
