Chapter 846: Cure of mental pain
[OP: ]
In the northern night of the sky island, an attractive lady was visible sitting beside a young lady, covered in a pretty looking blue light.
There were not many things present before them however, the winds of this place were unexpectedly calm.
There was no sound present in the area and only the sounds of the night life were heard by the two individuals present.
There were also no disturbances as the moon continued shining down on the two gorgeous ladies as they were completely absorbed in the nightly brilliance of the star filled sky.
-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish…
From the looks of it, it seemed like the younger lady was lying unconscious on the chair she was placed on, the blue light that was distinct and much darker from the blue moonlight of the moon, seemed to be healing her body as well.
There were signs that she had been exhausted and there were also signs that she had been injured internally and externally, however, the physical wounds were not the only things she had suffered.
"Mmmm…"
There were various mental anomalies as well, and the blue light of the special origin was currently healing her.
There were no signs of worry present on the older woman, the older witch that was accompanying the younger girl, however, it seemed like she was caring for her safety and her health.
The girl was unconscious, however, the lady was not just sitting in her place doing nothing.
She was looking after her, maintaining the blue light that was currently helping her recover herself. .net
-Ooooooong…
This blue light was not exactly some kind of magic, it was a distinct power unique from what was understood as magic in this world.
It was also not the power of witchcraft either as there was no change or interference with the reality itself however, this power was certainly related to the reality.
It was yet not time and she still had to learn of this power, however, just from this first day of their training together, the mentor had already figured out that she possessed all the qualities required of someone that could wield this power… most probably much better than she or any other witch currently present around these worlds could.
"Seems like she will wake up soon." A gentle voice, like a concerned mother's.
She had put her through a hellish training program that even she could not finish a third of during her first day back when she was as young as her.
She was weak and she could faintly remember those old days where she used to curse those old hags as well, and reminiscing about those days as the teacher of someone as young as this one was a unique experience for her.
Sure she was much older than the humans of her age, her darling was much younger than her when compared in the human age as well.
However was not a human.
As a witch, her heart's eternal lifespan was no special thing.
They were the only belongings in this world that could resonate with nature on the same level as the divine and higher beings.
They were also the only ones aside from the 'original creations' that could interfere with the fabric of reality, and though it was just the first fabric, in the eyes of the mortals like them, it was still not something small.
There were only a few things that could get as close to that power in this world, and though she was most certainly going to own that kind of power owner day, that time was still far.
"Hmmmm… what…"
"Oh, you're finally up."
She smiled at the young youth tens of times younger than her who had not missed much of this starry night in the time she passed out.
"Mmmmm… what?"
She opened her eyes and, though it took her some moments to realise what was happening around her, she did not take long to recall all the things that had happened in the time before she had passed out.
"What time is it—?!"
And, as soon as she realised all that, and looked up at the sky, and shouted out from the deepest part of her heart… before falling back in her chair with a sharp pain in her head.
"Aughhh!"
She shouted with a pain struck voice, and grabbed her head with tightly clenched lips.
"Dummy. You are physically fine but your mind is still not adjusted to the recovery. Lay down, and don't panic.
I already told your dear darling about the training and the fact that you had passed out from the hard work."
She relied on the things that had happened in the time she was out cold and though she could hear everything she was saying, the younger witch could not help the pain in her head.
It hurt.
It was hurting more than it did when she was training and was under that constant pain.
She was being tortured with those 'training' drills, but she saw it all through, as a result of which she was now in this condition.
"Reflex. It will end soon."
The elder witch helped her with some cool fluids and sat beside her, holding her hand until she had returned to normal, and at the end of the whole nightmare… when she came to her senses, she gave her a smile.
"Ok now?"
The younger witch, Reinelle, looked right in her eyes with a mixture of pain, hate, and anger.
She knew what was happening and why it was happening.
She did not want to rationalise it by saying it was something necessary but she was in pain only because of this person. And she did not like that.
She did not like being in pain in the first place.
It was not hurting anymore but she knew she was going to remember this moment of pain for a very long time.
She was angry since it was late at night already and she was still away in this barren outskirt, away from her house, away from her darling.
She did not like how there was a bitch sitting beside her taking care of her as if she really cared about her, but she also did not want to say any of those things.
"I can understand why you would have that look, dear."
She sat down on her own chair with a sigh, a smile of understanding present on her face.
-Oooooooooong!
"Here, drink this while you try to calm yourself." She summoned a glass of something that resembled blood, for both of them.
Her emotions and reaction was natural since she understood how this was her first time experiencing something so different from what she had endured all her life.
She knew her life had not been anything easy.
She was a war veteran, she was a wounded soul that had only recently found shelter and warmth.
She did not know just how talented she was, so even her training with her weapons might not have been anything like this.
So, she knew this was her first time facing a deadly experience during something like 'training'.
But that was exactly what she had to understand first.
"Life of the witches in this world is not as easy as you have experienced until now, dear.
Oh, I'm not saying you have not been through things, I'm not talking about that.
However, simple survival in the world of danger out there… most of the younger witches even younger than you are trained with methods even worse than this."
She took a sip from the glass she had summoned, and urged her to experience it as well.
She was not feeling too well after all that she had been through but there was no reason to deny something that seemed to be helpful.
Her head was still spinning, and it seemed like she was going to throw up.
She needed something, so she took a sip… found the taste of the red thing something unique, and finished the entire glass in a single breath.
"What… the hell is this?"
"Blood of a Drake."
"…?"
It really was blood, but after a moment of mental processing, she didn't really mind it.
"Can I have more?"
"Do you think this thing is some cheap alcohol, little girl? There aren't even a dozen true drakes available in this world. Don't be greedy."
Her answer was instantaneous.
There was also a smile of fun on her lips as she saw her disappointment, but she did not like teasing her after putting her through all this.
"Normal humans die after having ten millilitres of this thing.
You, on the other hand, should be fine with one more glass."
-Ooooooong.
She summoned another glass for her, and stars suddenly twinkled in the eyes of her young student.
"Thanks~!"
"Huhu, one should only have this thing once a month for safety purposes, so enjoy this one while you still can.
You will have to live without it for the next few weeks.
Oh, and… I don't think your darling will be able to handle much of this due to his unique energy body so don't force him if you two are going to play with this thing in private."
She did not mean anything dirty by that statement, but, the one she delivered it to certainly understood what her teacher was trying to convey.
"You… you are a bitch…"
Her face turned red because of that statement and even though she did not want to this time, she ended up cursing her.
"Procuring this one is a difficult task, so good luck finding the suppliers."
"Hmm? You won't sell this?"
"Who in their right mind would do that? Hahaha."
Rein looked at her laughing mentor for a moment, before looking back at the thing in her hands.
It was blood… but it was also the cure that she needed right now.
