Coral

Within a dark cave, there was a dark blue haired girl that had dark skin and light blue eyes that had woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked around in confusion, it was unknown how she had been moved to another place and how long had passed for her.

She did not know how she had been saved or how her memories and samples of her genetics had been collected by the figure that sat not too far away from her.

Blush gained some knowledge into the girl's background and what kind of people they were when she searched those memories while the girl had slept.

It went back several days ago when a tribe that lived on the seas and journeyed to discover new lands had settled down on a new island.

They were adventurers that raised proud warriors of the sea and their main types of weapons were those that were a part of a staff or pole so they usually used harpoons, naginatas and tridents.

He plan was to settle on the island and check the island out, see if there was anything worth discovering and then journey back on the seas once there was nothing else to offer their tribe.

They set up a small village further away from the location where the girl was found and they lived there in peace and isolation while occasionally journeying out to fish on the waters and to trade.

It was peaceful until they were attacked and fought back, their enemies were pushed back and never showed their faces again.

It was not until several days later or a couple of days before the girl encountered Blush that they suddenly started to experience similar symptoms.

They were not fully aware of how it had affected everyone but it was speculated that it could be the work of the people that fled several days before.

The girl among the tribe was one of the smarter and stronger warriors of her age group but she had not undergone the tribes rites of passage that involved taking down a strong predator so her position in the tribe was much lower than others and important matters could not be left to her.

She was held back once she decided to leave the village to try to investigate the source of their illness or seek help from someone that could help them but she had managed to sneak out.

She did not expect to encounter a black panther and to become its prey during the journey, her desire to survive and save her tribe so they could go back to the sea was so strong that it let her hold on for as long as possible and to let her put up a final resistance against the black panther.

Before her strength and consciousness could no longer hold on, she felt her naginata pierce the black panther so she believed that she could at least die after completing her rites of passage.

She did not know that there had been a slight intervention to the path of her naginata that was done by Blush that lead to her victory.

Once she woke up, she gazed towards the green haired girl that looked a year or less younger than herself.

Blush was sitting crosslegged with her eyes closed and was busy sorting out all the information in her mind to be readied for further learning and development.

There were some bits and pieces that were obtained from Dr Gero, others from her family and others from other races like the ogre and devil races.

They each had their own styles of martial arts, magic spells, abilities and techniques that needed to be studied by Blush.

The light blue eyes met with the blood red eyes that opened and it was the first meeting between the two of them.

A moment of silence had passed before Blush spoke. "You should not move around too much. You should feel better soon but it would be best that you rest up a little more. I am Blush, what is your name?"

Blush already knew everything but it would seem strange that she who was a stranger already knew everything.

Blush had people around her who were a part of her contracts, were talents that she intended to recruit or were those she was acquainted with during her time within the city.

Blush was mature beyond her current age due to her being reborn in her present body and she spent more time around adults than those her own age.

It made it difficult for her to make connections to others and those her own age would be able to understand a lot of what she would be interested in.

The girl that was saved had been searched through her memories by Blush to determine if it was worth her taking the risk to get to know the girl and to help out.

A friend or someone that could see things with fresh eyes was what was determined that was missing from her present self.

A human connection and another perspective different from her own would be helpful for Blush to experience and understand the world around her better.

The girl that had been rescued would be grateful to her and a relationship could be forged upon that even if it would seem invasive and manipulative at first.

Blush had access to abilities that could let her read minds and do other things that others could not do so she made use of them to get ahead but she did not use them to harm innocents.

Her using them on the girl was just to determine if the girl could become a good ally to her or if helping her out was a big mistake and the girl would be a problem in the future.

The girl coughed and answered her. "I am Coral Talia of the Talia tribe. What have you done? I do not feel unwell like I was before, did you cure me?"

Blush nodded. "Yes, nice to meet you Coral. I have ran into what you have encountered and have been able to find a cure for it. I am a travelling doctor that so you can either call me Blush or Dr Blush. Whichever one you feel more comfortable with."

Coral raised an eyebrow. "You cured me and you are already such a skilled doctor at a young age? Can you help my tribe who are suffering from the same thing?"

Blush nodded. "It is within my capabilities and I have saved you because I encountered you then decided to save you but I do not work for free. There will be a cost involved."

Coral did not hesitate to answer. "Whatever the cost.. please save them."
