10 Good News And Bad News (1/2)

Opening his eyes, Magna recognised the roof above him. It's the same house in the ruins in which he and the girls stayed in. Trying to sit up, he suddenly grimaced in pain as he felt as if his entire body was made of lead.

Giving up, Magna hoa.r.s.ely muttered, ”…How did I get here? Where are the girls? Are they okay?”

Suddenly, the door opened, revealing an injured Argo and tired Luna.

Magna looked at his sisters and felt a huge influx of emotions. However, before he could say anything, Luna screamed, ”HE'S AWAKE!!!”

Argo and Luna dropped whatever they were doing and rushed over to Magna. Seeing that they were fine, Magna smiled. However, his smile didn't last long as the girls suddenly started crying.

Before he could ask what's wrong, Argo screamed, ”You IDIOT!!! How could you do this to your self!?! You almost died out there!!!”

Luna didn't say anything but continued to cry her heart out. A feeling that Magna couldn't explain appeared in his heart as tears gathered in his eyes and he muttered, ”I'm… I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you guys.”

Wiping away the tears in her eyes, Argo sniffled and said, ”…I know. And I'm… really happy and glad that you're alright.”

Luna suddenly collapsed to the ground next to Magna. This freaked Magna out as he quickly tried to sit up, ignoring the pain it put him through. However, Argo stopped him and said, ”She's fine. She only collapsed because she's tired. After your fight, Luna managed to catch you before you fell to your death. Then she dragged the both of us back here and has been looking after us this entire time.”

Magna relaxed as he realised it wasn't that serious. He stared at Argo and asked, ”…How long have I been out?”

Reluctance appeared in Argo's eyes but decided he need to know as she bitterly said, ”2 weeks.”

Magna's heart dropped. 2 weeks… 2 freaking weeks.

Luckily, Argo knew what was bothering him and rea.s.sured him as she said, ”Luna knew how you wanted to check and see if your family was alright. So once I awoke, she left and followed your scent for a couple hours until she came across your village.”

Taking a deep breath, she continued, ”There's good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first.”

Magna didn't even hesitate as he said, ”The bad.”

Nodding, Argo quickly reiterated what Luna told her, ”The entire village was torn to the ground. She also found a couple bodies inside some of the houses. Luckily, none of the bodies smelt remotely similar to your scent.”

Letting loose a small sigh, Magna said, ”Then the good news?”
