46 Truth Or Lie (1/2)

*Gasp gasp gasp* what kind of nightmare is that?” Faust gasps heavily waking up from his nightmare.

”Ahhh!! what is this? it hurts! my whole arm, my chest and my right shoulder is hurting like hell. It's as if someone is gnawing on them.” Faust groans in pain as his skin stings, and he opens his eyes, to regain consciousness.

”Faust!!! Oh! Thank God you are alive, what happened to you? Where did you go? By the time we found you, you were lying unconscious in one of the Shrines, and you were badly hurt.” Gus says as he looks worried and scared for Faust and he starts asking him question after question.

”Faust.... You have been in sleep for 9 days we thought you wouldn't make it out but thank God you did. Anyway, where did you get those injuries from?” Yang asks with suspicions.

*”Those injuries definitely are the wounds on his soul, his body is getting eaten from inside due to the ruptures in his soul. But rather than all the injuries, I have never seen someone being alive after that wound in their chest”* Yang thought to himself, realizing the differences in wounds as a former soldier who has been inside the spirit world.

Faust doesn't say anything nor does he seem like he is ready to share what has happened *”will they really believe me if I tell them what has happened? Or will I be ridiculed? Or worse will I be punished for entering the shrine”* Faust cautiously wonders in his mind.

”hmm its ok its ok, he is awake now, don't shower him with all the questions. Let him take a breathe first. Go on everybody, go out. He is good he will speak in few minutes.” Realizing why Faust is hesitating, Gus acts like nothing happened and sends everybody. Only Yang remains, to ease Faust's worries.

”It's fine Faust, it's just your grandpa and master Yang is here. You can talk to us.” Gus tries to assure Faust that they are going to hear what he have to say. His eyes gives show a hint of sadness that disappeared along with the questions, to make Faust more comfortable.

Faust still doesn't say anything, his face is just gloomy and he looks extremely down.

”You guys wouldn't believe me anyway, you will make fun of me.” Faust tells in a squeaky little voice.

His chest still feels heavy as though something is pulling his heart out. His heart was being yanked by an invisible force, leaving him despaired and in suffering. But he doesn't want to show any signs of pain as Gus and Yang would question of him.

*”Why does my body hurt so bad?”* Faust looks at his left arm.

”Grandpa!!!! Grandpa what happened to my body? Grandpa.” Faust is scared at the sight of his arm and his chest.

Gus doesn't say anything but he just looks down and seems even more tensed now.

”Faust, did you... did you do anything in the shrine? Did you experience anything? Or did you just got hurt and rested in the shrine? We need to know, we can't help you without knowing what left you in this position.” Yang says with a desperate face.

”I -I went into a shrine one day after training. It felt so relaxing that I fell asleep but then I was suddenly in a different place. I made friends with someone and I tried to protect her, but I'm just simply too weak.” Faust told everything that has happened to Gus and Yang.

”It's ok Faust, we believe you, every single word you said. Take rest for now. You did good.” Gus said to Faust while putting him to sleep.
