Chapter 37 - Problems (1/2)

Muthos- ”Alright welcome to my humble home, in here you will be safe from the scrying of the mage, my wife will cook up something for you to wear, please rest well, we will explain all in due time.” he said exiting to search for his wife while leaving the two guards behind to watch over them.

Vott whispering to Theoric- ”What do you think?”

Theoric barely able to keep his eyes open after all the energy spent didn't think much about it wearily spoke- ”Nothing to lose, I say don't worry about it, I need to sleep.” closing his eyes as he laid down on the hard surface drifting off.

Vott ignored him, assigning a couple of the more resilient men to keep watch while the others got some much-needed rest.

Muthos in the far back bedroom was consulting his wife on what to do next- ”Askella they're here in case you didn't know, so what now? Oh, they also said something about a mage keeping tabs on them.”

Askella stopped what she was doing as she looked at random locations around the house checking the protections she setup.- ”Yes they're right a mage is trying to locate them as we speak, he shouldn't be able to find them here though without knowing what to look for, the tunnels are a great distraction and there are miles of them, but I'll have to make somethings for them for when they leave.”

Muthos- ”I have the royal duo watching them just in case, but I think we should all sleep and wait till tomorrow to go through everything.”

Askella distracted by her tinkering with the object in her hand answered- ”Huh, what did you say?”

Muthos got in bed- ”I said tomorrow woman, Tomorrow!”

Askella- ”Oh yeah, sure, whatever, now quiet down, can't you see I'm busy.”

Counting them he realized they only had 19 left, feeling somewhat responsible as well as foolish for even attempting to join and help out before he had a handle on his new powers. He turned his focus to his body which he thought was the problem for not being up to par and causing him problems with his powers.

He chose to blame his body rather than his rash c.o.c.kiness after gaining a little power due to impatience.

Having enough he felt it was time to try and use healing power to speed up the process that was going on inside.

Closing his eyes he concentrated on the healing energy, focusing it upon himself as he poured it inside trying to speed up what he could, still making sure to be somewhat careful despite his impatience.

Things seemed to be going well until the flood of knowledge that was dammed up was unleashed. He screamed out in agony as he clutched his head, waking everyone up as they came over to see what was going on.

Finding Theoric rolling around with his hands on his head, Vott telling everyone- ”Give him some room, don't crowd him.”

”What do we do Captain, this looks bad.”

”Do you think the trolls did this?”
