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 51: Loss of control

Hadrian read the note that had been slipped through their door with a grin.

Harry,

The medical birds are cooking something up. They are being moved against the guild. Retrieve the Ledger of Truth.

Your friend,

Ash.

Finally, his guild master was giving him a mission. The vampire had thought that the grumpy woman had written him off as dead.

 She disliked healers in general, but Hadrian thought she might like Edwin. If only because he was so different from his fellows.

Now, normally it would be going to informants and paying them for half-truths. But he had Edwin now. His necromantic trick could prove downright handy at this moment.

"Hey, Eddy, a minute?" Hadrian called, and Edwin paused from his drawing of what seemed like a heart. Not the romantic version of it, but an organ with veins sticking out of it.

"Found a sweetheart?" asked Hadrian, nodding towards the heart.
