An Explorer's Guide (BL)

Updates @ 20:00 (+8 GMT) 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 25: The breakthrough

After the three were bathed and covered in ointment, the gloves were back on their hands. Edwin decided to make them steak today, just to ease the change in diet for the three.

As the savory scent of cooking meat filled the apartment, Edwin turned to look at Hadrian, who was playing at pantomime with the children. He was either pretending to be a duck, or a very angry snake.

Whatever it was, it had its effect as the three were reduced to a fit of giggles. Edwin flipped the steaks and then wondered if he couldn't do something to feed Hadrian animal blood.

Myrna had a blood market, as did all cities, but Hadrian had pulled a face at everything on offer. Wrong blood group, smelt of sickness, was old and many more excuses were made, so the vampire could avoid buying a blood bag.
