EX Grand Quest Chapter 3: Cador's Trail

Group 2 POV

Lentias POV

………Quiet. Very quiet. He knew he was dreaming; he could feel the mana from the outside world flowing into his body, restoring him slowly. A… voice? A presence, fimiliar, but not from the outside world. From… within a dream? Puzzled at what was going on, he began to wonder who's presence it could have been.

D-darkness… Who… Who are you? The presence in his sleep crept slowly more and more. That's when he realized that this wasn't a dream, but a nightmare. Human… Hmph. Or then, maybe I was wrong? You aren't a human… The words escaping from the presence confused him. What? Wh-what do you mean I'm not a human?!

Your body, flesh and blood indeed… But it isn't human. No, you are not a human… you ar- STOP!! Don't say another word, or I will fight back. And since this a dream… I can go all out… Staring at whatever was in front of him, he could see a human figure appear before him. Dream? Yes, maybe… be warned, child. This is no dream. Everything is reality. I will be watching you, dear child. The figure began to turn around, and walked away. He still wasn't alone still; he could feel dark shadows and spirit calling out to him in a blur.

Leave me alone! Go away! GO! This dream all a lie! He felt a shadow tug on his should and shake him and it wispered out in a violent tone "Lentiasss!!" No! G-go away! The dark spirit plunged itself into his body and he felt it inside his heart. Gaah… aah…

You win this time child. Take that spirit as a blessing of mine. It won't do you harm.

Lilly POV

"O-kay. Everything is ready for later. Now, time to follow his aura. Hopefully, I'll find him soon." Lilly walked around the campsite and was lead to a small tent. There she saw her owner lying on the ground. "Aww! He's such a cutie when he sleeps." She began removing her jewelery from her body and then opened her summon gate to quickly deposit her trinkets. Upon returning, she was met with a suprise.

"What is that? This doesn't look good." Dark energy was covering his body entirely and his body was almost invisible from the darkness. "Lentias?" She grabbed onto his body and shook him. "Lentias?! Wake up! Wake up!!!"

"AAAAAAAGH! Lilly… it hurts…" The dark energy was beginning to compile into a tiny sphere and flew into his body and glowed darkly over his heart. "Lentias? What's going on! Answer me!!"

"Ugh… Something from a dream… I feel different." "Well of course you do! A cloud of dark energy was just surrounding your body. How could you NOT feel different?!" He place his hand over his heart to feel what was there. "I don't know… but, it doesn't feel harmful. It seems like it wants to travel inside me, almost like it's trying to protect me or something…"

"Well, now that that is over, if it's not too much to ask for, can you come with me? I need you to heat up a small body of water for later tonight…"
