An Explorer's Guide (BL)

Completed! =) Healing is not just healing, it is also politics. Edwin had heard it all, had repeated it time and time again. He did not want to accept those words. They were vile, they were poisonous. A necromancer such as himself had no right to become a healer, he still did his best. An altruist like him had no place in the service of the king as Boliarin. He still refused to give up the title, for fear that someone else would take it, and plunge Duria into chaos. All his life, he had played by the rules. Even when he suffered losses, even when he believed he could not look himself in the mirror. Everyone has a breaking point. Edwin did not lie to himself. He was calm, but not sane. The camel's back had long since been broken. And yet, when his ray of moonlight, the vampire Hadrian, offered to travel with him, Edwin agreed. He lets himself pretend he was good, hoping he might lie to himself one of those days. Would Harry be enough to stop him from darkening the world? Or would he end up just another villain, who had once been bright-eyed and hopeful? The story is complete, and has 109 chapters in total, around 1k each. Updates: 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thank you for your time! =)

Chapter 21: For a bag of mint

Hadrian was running, three boys running after him and throwing rag balls at his back, trying to hit him. He dodged so swiftly each time, it was as if he had eyes on his back.

The vampire turned around and stuck out his tongue.

"Come on, my grandmother threw with better precision. And by the time I was born, she was 93!" Hadrian said as he turned around again and dodged to the left, the ball thrown by Ben sailing harmlessly pass him.

"And you say that your stomach has been hurting for how long, sir?" asked Edwin, his attention split between the training quartet and his patient. A traveling merchant that they met on the road.

"A month, healer. It all happened after I ate a slightly old apple. I think it was cursed."

Edwin shook his head. Most common people thought that curses were the cause of all their woes. This man had demanded a mirror curse twice already.
