AE S1E8

✨After Effect✨

Season 1 Episode 8

Location: Lumine Village, Time: Evening]

Jayden firmly holds his staff in his left hand keeping his right palm standing straight facing them. The necromancer smirks and brings his left hand forward from behind him. He closes his hand as the whole environment suddenly becomes filled with smoke. Jayden sees nothing else but the smoke and quickly turns on his vision eye. The 2 undead beings quickly rush towards Jayden through the smoke and make several attempts to hold him still. He cuts their hands off and finalizes his attack with slashing their heads off at the same time. The necromancer spawns more and more beings as the smoke slowly disperses. {It's useless killing them, I need to go in for him}. His elongated staff's edges turn two short swords while holding it in his left. One being jumps towards Jayden ready for a slash as he also jumps meeting it in the air. He waves his staff and cuts through it landing far behind the necromancer. Jayden starts running towards him(the necromancer) while slicing the beings trying to attack him. The necromancer still keeps both hands behind him while Jayden rushes from behind. He starts to laugh at Jayden making an attempt to strike him and turn around still with his hands behind him. Jayden jumps and screams ready to make his fire slash and the necromancer quickly vanishes from Jayden's sight. He lands down and the rest of the beings alive under his control fall dead again. Jayden breathes heavily continuously and turns to look around. His staff shrinks back to it's middle height, {Where can I find Lucas}, "A little more northeast of here...you'll find it. I can sense some life force coming from there" the voice in his head replies.

{So why didn't you tell me early!!},

"Quiet you!, we both didn't know this would've happened"

{How am I even talking to myself now, who are you?}

"Just get going!!"

He argues with the voice in his head while exiting the dead village heading northeast...

[Location: Forest zone...heading northeast... Time: almost morning]

{It's been almost an hour walking through this forest..and you told me a little more northeast back there!!}

"Patience boy..patience.."

He converses with the voice in head his while walking through the forest alone. Feeling more safe and sensing some kind of life force just around the corner.

"Hey there" someone whispers into his ears as he quickly screams and turns around.

{Was that you!??}, he stands still looking scared as his heart starts pounding again. {Why am I having this feeling..I can't even sense any life force nearby}. "You're starting to shiver", he quickly turns around and sights a guy leaning against a tree with his head bowed down. {He must also be here to kill me!!}. He firmly holds his staff while looking at him. "I'm not here to fight you...yet" he suddenly vanishes, "You're poisoned..the smoke you inhaled while fighting Darcey, the necromancer was a poisonous gas..that's why he didn't try fighting back" he speaks behind him. He gots shocked and slowly turns around. "Poisoned?Half dead?.." he asks. "You've not learnt anything about your power. You're just weak and don't know how to use it because you're not willing! I should kill you by now" he smiles, "But I think I'll let you go this time" he vanishes again, {Huh? poisoned...I haven't felt any effects too}, "It's Darcey's poison boy. He one of the 3 ancient sorcerer's. Healing it wouldn't be easy" he smiles again, "It hasn't shown any effect because your body is somehow trying to resist it. But it won't last for long" he appears right behind him and whispers into his ears, "You'll need Mojo's blood as the cure" he laughs and vanishes again. He appears where he was standing the first time, leaning on the tree again. "You should get going by now..before I kill you" he smiles and vanishes as Jayden is left standing in shock. {I am the cause of all this...I need to face it} He continues his walk and remembers his mother telling him to stay alive no matter what. {I will...mom...}
