47 Chapter 47 (2/2)

”I'm looking to buy more of the same type of spears. How many would you be able to make for the ore?” Aerwyn asked politely.

”Three weeks, seventy five.” Semmy didn't even wait for a response as he poured the ore into a bag and went back to working on the pitchfork.

”Ok, great. See you then.” Aerwyn threw the spears on top of a zin beetle and headed to Nyris's home.

”...Semmy is a good man, he wasn't always like that. He lost his wife in childbirth and... just a few months ago his daughter Meyana was one of the children who was kidnapped by the slavers that Sera killed. He...” Master Ynir paused, a look of grief and guilt apparent on his face.

”He hasn't been the same since. He works day and night to keep his mind occupied and barely speaks. I hope you will forgive him.”

”I'm sorry to hear that...” Aerwyn didn't know what else to say.

He was particularly bad at these types of heavy conversations and what followed was a deafening silence as they rode to Nyris's house. He felt sorry for the elf and even a small sense of empathy as he too had lost everything. Semmy's situation made him wonder whether his memory loss was a blessing or a curse. What if he had truly lost everyone he ever cared for, would he rather forget the pain or hold on to it as Semmy was forced to do.

Aerwyn made a mental note of the name Meyana so that if his path ever crossed with hers he could reunite them. He thought it would be nice if one of them could find some happiness as he wasn't sure what awaited him if he ever regained his memories. While he was stuck in his thoughts they arrived at their destination and Master Ynir's knocking woke him from his mind. Nyris invited them in and they spoke over lunch.

”She evolved?” Nyris changed his gaze to Aerwyn which had been stuck on Erit since he was first told about the recent events.

”Yeah and she can't transform like all arache should be able to.” Aerwyn replied.

”Interesting... It-” Nyris glanced at Master Ynir and held his tongue before continuing.

”Master Ynir i need to do an experiment, it is extremely important. Could you please run out and grab a korlandy flower while i prepare it?”

”What?! I'm eating! Give me a few minutes.” Master Ynir huffed and puffed.

”It's imperative to begin now, we must be completed by the time the moon rises!” Nyris pushed on giving Master Ynir no outs.

”...Damn it all, fine. You owe me then.”

”That's fine, please hurry.”

Once Master Ynir had left Aerwyn looked to Nyris who was lost in thought and spoke.

”What experiment are we doing?”

”Ah! There is no experiment, i just didn't want him to hear what i have to say. That flower is rare, it'll take him some time to find one... Erit was it? Let me see you're arm.”

”Hmph, as if i'd let a creepy eyed elf like you touch this little spiders beautiful arm.” Erit turned her head and stuck her chin up in defiance.

”Erit just do it, it's important.”

”But master-” Erit attempted to plead her case but Aerwyn interrupted her with an order.

Now that she was forced to comply Nyris took out a small dagger and quickly sliced a deep gash on her hand.

”AH! STOP! You're ruining this little spiders perfect skin! Master, make him stop!” Erit pleaded but it fell on deaf ears as Aerwyn and Nyris both watched her hand.

No blood came out and almost immediately the tenebrous smoke poured from the wound and sealed it. Within a few seconds the smoke dissipated revealing the little spiders 'perfect skin' once more.

”...I don't know. She hasn't been brought back to life, that's for sure but she no longer possesses the aura undeath. It's possible her evolution has changed her into something never seen before. What implications that may hold is far beyond my capabilities to guess at...”
