Andrew's PoV
By the time its 9 near 10 I finally reach my house, banging on the door with my foot to alert Su that I'm home. She opens the door clearly mad at me for being two hours late but she quickly stops after seeing the boy in my arms.
I slip past, not carring that she's mad at me for being late and then suddenly bringing with me a boy that looks like he's on the verge of death. I gently lay him on my couch and quickly rush to get the first aid kit, yelling at Su to get her ass back in here and help me with the boy.
When Andrew went back to treat the boy, he immediately realized that his bruising look much better and not as bad as it had been. His sprained ankle on his left leg was gone like it wasn't there in the first place, his shoulder looked like it was slowly moving back into place, his right leg was bearable to look at now, which considering his leg before was much... much better...
I realized it would be more trouble bringing him to the hospital or E.R because of whatever is happening to him... but the boy was very hurt, and needed professional help. I don't have the supplies needed to take care of him. Maybe Su did at her clinic but..-' Andrew's troubling thoughts were disturbed by Su saying we could bring him to her clinic. Nice, It was passed work hours but she didnt mind, and the boy needed professional help.
Andrew let out a breath he didnt know he was holding and proceeded to gently but quickly lift the boy and bring him to his car. Holding onto the boy while Su drove the car to her clinic, they quickly reached their destination
Taking x-rays, looking at the graphs and best options for him putting his shoulder back in place, making casts, putting him on a drip( I dont recall the name, I was never any good with names) we finally finished. It was really late by the time we finished maybe 12, 1 am?
I was hungry and starting to get delirious so after checking that the paitent(the young boy) was stable, I left to the kitchen to make us a double decker deli stacked sub *gasp* (it's something I made when I was drunk sometime ago). It has DeDe mushroom salsa (known for its rich flavor), Boars ham honey coated slices, mozzarella cheese, spicy sweet Turkey slices, and cut onions marinated in lemon or lime maybe both. Haaa (´ ε ` )♡ what a wonderful sub... absolutely delicious... aaahhhh I just cant wait~~... Σ(°ロ°) I love this sandwich.... *sigh* It just tastes waaAAAAYYYYY to good(ノωヽ) ... I should probably bring Su her sandwich now...
I brought back the subs I made for Su and I, we checked that the boy was stable and okay, I suggested to stay incase anything happened because Su had a meeting to attend to early morning.
And with that I spent the night there checking up on him every 30-45 minutes before sleeping again.
later that night I woke up to check on him. I went through my bag when the florescent mushroom rolled into my hand... 'oh.... OOOHHhHH... I'm an idiot...' I smacked my head, I could have given him this before, but he cant chew he's unconscious... smoothie? maybe a smoothie? that'll work right? hopefully.
I raced to the kitchen with the little florescent mushrooms I had, quickly I made a smoothie and walked back into the boys room. I fed him the smoothie, checked his condition and true to the fables his veins started glowing a soft white glow like glowsticks.
I noticed the visible wounds were healing at a rapidly, I checked his condition once more, than went back to sleep seeing that he was okay.
I woke early that morning, I had a meeting with my father I could not afford to be late to. I was surprised to find the boy awake staring at me curiously. I tried to keep my body movements as neutral as possible so as to not worried and scare him as I asked.
"Do you know your name?"
He stared at me in shock, before sputtering
" I-I think its...its... Aeolus." he then stated again with new found confidence. " Yes, my name Is Aeolus. And my brothers name is... Aegues... I think."
He seemed a bit confused so I asked slowly
"Do you know were your brother is?"
"...No" he said with a sad face.
" Do you know were you came from?"
Aeolus stopped and stared, his mind lost in thought before tears slowly pricked his eyes falling slowly.
"I don't know... I-I -I don -Don't knowwww..."
A whimper escaped Aeolus's mouth and his lip quivered, tears fell rapidly from his young face. He was finding it hard to breath, the fact that he couldn't remember was scaring him to no end, especially because he knows he was doing something important, something very important.
Andrew immediately brought him into a hug,
"ssshhh it's okay, it's okay. You're all right, it's okay to forget. everyone forgets things it's okay, you can remember later that's okay..."
Andrew was rubbing calming circles on his back thinking, 'This must be a touchy topic one last question though' Andrew continued
"Deep breath in Deep breath out, Deep breath in deep breath out. Aeolus..." Andrew pulled him from the hug and looked kindly into his eyes
"I need to ask you one more question, okay? is that alright?"
Aeolus looked back at me thinking if it's okay before softly saying. "go ahead... you can ask."
I stared at him with a gentle but serious gaze I learned over the years. Asking calmly I said
"what do you remember Aeolus?"

??? PoV
"Father, PLEASE leT ME OUT!!" " HELP ME . . . It HuRTs PLEASE!!... IT hurts!!"
But he could say no more as he felt his last diminishing control over his body leave and Orian, his Dragon Spirit, took over. He felt ripping pain as Orian tried to shift but couldn't because of the seals placed on him.
He understood that something was wrong with Orian. He was in dismay as his eyes welled up in tears and he felt his throat continuously get hotter and hotter until it was scorching hot. He felt a cooling sensation before he could no longer feel.
He couldn't breath it was too painful. And he wished, oh he wished so much that he did have control, he wished he wasn't given such a domineering, stubborn, destructive, and hot headed dragon spirit. He wished the pain would just stop, but he had no control.
He watched and felt in complete agony as Orian had taken over.
" AGGG GGG G G H H H HH H HH !!!!!"
His voice was not his voice anymore. It was deeper than it already was. It sounded like Orian was in pain and that pained him even more. It was gravelly, gruff but otherworldly and magnificent.
Molten lava pooled in from his mouth, and slowly spilled onto the floor, not burning in the slightest because of the resistance and restore spells cast upon the room.
"Let me out... they need me.. LET ME OUT!!!"
A series of bangs and crashes sounded from the confinement room. Orian was breathing large, scorching hot, blue and white flames; everywhere. Dain's body was already half transforming, breaking from the pressure of the seals.
If this continues any longer, his body would fail and both Dain Heathclith and Orian would die.
Something was wrong with Orian, something was making both Dain and him in pain...
"AAAAAAAAA A A A A A A A A AH H H H H H H H H H H H !!!!! ! ! ! ! ! !"
Another gut retching scream sounded from the room. . .
Not able to hear his son's cries anymore. He allowed the clansmen to administer pearl gas to calm them down enough to get near him. They injected him with something similar to wolfsbane to put him under. Hopefully when they awake again, things would have calmed down.
I watched as my vision slowly faded away and my father hugged me good night on a bed. Bed? When was I on a bed?
I felt the pain dull down, my hands returned to normal. And my throat no longer hurt from yelling nor did it burn.
I felt warmth, and smelled honey and warm oats. It smelled homely,
It felt... right.
