Instant Recovery?

__________ POV Ashton__________

"Y-yes... I do have a way of healing Gon." He said with a stutter, his nervousness is only making me more curious now.

I'm starting to think this kid doesn't want me to be here. I am extremely hurt, I believed us to not be in such bad standing with one another.

Well then. Time to see what the little Assassin has in stock. It's clear to see that his plan relies on his little sister.

Otherwise, I don't see any reason why he'd bring her into the room of his dying friend. Well, maybe she just wanted to tag along to watch someone die, who knows it with these Zoldycks...

Into the room entered two more people. Both wearing fashionable suits.

A tall old lady who didn't seem to like me very much, and a teenager with a strange walking stick. Or, I guess it's her weapon?

Who knows really, they should be Zoldyck family servants.

"Oh Ho, and who might this young man be?" Oh, I already like this Lady, I'm not calling her old anymore. Anyone that calls me young after my transformation is getting in my good books.

"Well, nice meeting you Lady, I am called Ashton. A bit of a doctor I guess." I said with a cordial smile.

She seemed quite surprised that I called her lady, but in all honesty, even if I called her 'young girl' it would be accurate for me.

"Alluka, from now on we will be together. That's a promise." Killua seemed to be having his own conversation with his little sister.

Something strange happened, it certainly caught my attention. Her eyes seemed to disappear, her lips caught in a large smile, the inside of her mouth was not visible either.

Now, this is what I wanted to see. An unknown factor that I can find interesting. Something I can study, or at least find out more about.

They both came towards Gon, who was still behind me, being kept alive by the Doctor Blythes I summoned.

"Please... Heal Gon." Said Killua whilst looking at the dried-up arm of his friend. I guess it's not really a pretty sight.

His life is basically hanging on a string. The second I stop keeping him alive his organs will fail.

"Hand~Hand" Her voice now has a strange tone. Somewhat melodic, but somewhat creepy too. Killua uncovered more of Gon's arm.

And Alluka, or whatever this is, grasped his palm, as both of her hands started to glow brightly. At this point, I also deactivate Doctor Blythe.

The Outburst of Aura and was amazing. The more amazing part is that the aura corrupting his body and killing it was being taken out of him forcefully.

A strange power seemed to be regenerating his Vitality and his body followed suit. I think this outburst of energy will be felt throughout the city.

Hmm, this won't do. I'll claim responsibility for this. I don't want anyone to bother Alluka now. She's immensely more interesting than both Gon and Killua combined.

She also reminds me of something else entirely. But that's something I will explore later. I won't be actually harming the little girl though.

That would be low even for me. I just established that she's the most innocent Zoldyck I'll probably ever see.

The healing lasted around a minute. This thing even asked for a head pat from Killua. She was about to leave, but I interrupted it's 'reward'.

"Now, would you tell me what your name is?" I looked the seemingly eyeless being in the eye. The holes it used to see looked completely empty.

I could immediately feel Killua tense up. He really didn't like this situation. Both the servants that were with him also seemed to prepare for something.

"Ai..." That was all she said. It's actually most of what she says. Someone else might mistake this with her saying 'Key' a derivative of ok. But this is actually just a name.

One that I am quite familiar with. It seems I won't have to study her too much after all. I've met 'Ai' in the past.

A calamity spawned on the Dark Continent when the fourth expedition happened. They seemed to take a liking to Zigg.

They weren't outright hostile, if you just ignored them they wouldn't be harmful at all. But they have the potential to ruin humanity in a split second.

They also make humans show their true faces, granting them any wish at raising costs. 'Ai' are seemingly innocent beings, however.

They are also called 'Codependence of desire' which seems to fit this current situation.

I'm guessing this one has taken a liking to Killua. It didn't even ask for a wish. Or rather, the only thing it asked for when it brought Gon back was a head pat.

Usually, they'd take a life in exchange, or multiple. Even a few organs. But not a mere head pat. So I'm guessing this one really likes Killua.

Still, how exactly have they left the dark continent is beyond me. They were never interested in doing anything.

Maybe one of those that took a liking to Zigg decided to stick around and possessed family members till now? Regardless, Ai isn't malevolent, so I won't consider it a threat.

One thing is strange. The calamities are beings that might've existed before the humans stepped foot on the Continent. But I never met them before they appeared.

The continent is very big, so the probability of me meeting them was still quite low. Point is, the calamities followed humans back to this little lake.

The small corner of this world where humans reside. 'Lake Mobius' the size of the entire human world can't even begin to compare to that of the Continent.

'Lake Mobius' Is also smack in the middle of the dark continent. Being surrounded by it completely.

I only found out about these things from Don's book too. It's not like I knew a lot of geography as a resident of the Dark Continent...

I looked around the room, the rest of the people in it were also tense. Gon wasn't conscious yet, but he didn't have long till he woke up.

I guess Killua and his servants were expecting me to do something rash, like a wish for eternal life or some stupid stuff.

But I know enough about Ai to do something so utterly moronic.
