*Three days Later..
Head Geisha Alicia strolls gracefully through an underground segment of the Guesthouse(The Nursing area) with both her hands elegantly tucked together and positioned in front of her waist.
Her refined chin is held high as always as she takes composed yet powerful steps towards her destination with another Geisha following behind her.
The nursing area gas limited space so it isn't hard to navigate. It only took a right turn around its walls before Head Geisha Alicia arrives in front of an enchanted bed with a conscious Eleanora lying on it with a sickly pale face.
The moment Eleanora sees Head Geisha Alicia, she attempts to push herself up for a greeting only to be stopped midway as the cold looking Head Geisha pushes Eleanora's chest back to the bed.
"Save your strenght, you just woke up..", Head Geisha Alicia says before taking a seat by the bedside with a swipe of her skirt.
Head Geisha Alicia looks calmly as Eleanora for a while as if examining her before she turns her gaze to her escort.
"Give us privacy..", She orders. The escorting Geisha immediately bows in response as she hurriedly finds her way out of the room.
"You almost died..", Head Geisha Alicia says as she calmly adjusts the bed covers on Eleanora's body even though there is much to do to its already tidy visuals.
"Elves are known for their high affinity to life..", Eleanora responds with a smile but Head Geisha Alicia wasn't at all biting at her attempt to lighten the heavy mood as she just keeps dressing the covers.
"This isn't a drill..", Head Geisha Alicia says coldly a little annoyed at how casually Eleanora is taking this.
"You are dying right now..", Head Geisha Alicia says as she pulls her arms off the covers before standing from the chair and sitting on the bed. Like a mother, she gently pats the sheets over Eleanora's stomach with her palm.
"Everybody's constantly walking towards the endpoint..", Eleanora says with a small smile that isn't a smile.
"The weapon used was coated with ice oriented mana affinity and as your bad luck would have it,.. it struck at an energy point. You can't wield mana and so the excess energy is moving on its own..
"Its going to diffuse *Deep breath* slowly through your veins, organs and mind unless we find a solution..", Head Geisha Alicia says calmly though Eleanora knows her well enough to tell that the always elegant woman is slowly driven crazy by the situation but she has enough control not to male it show much.
"Either we find a way for you to wield mana or we find a Rank One alchemy pill that will either take it out of your system or neutralise its effects or we find..", Head Geisha Alicia keeps talking only to be cut off by Eleanora who asks with a weary smile.
"How much time do I have left?..", Eleanora asks while looking at Head Geisha Alicia whose expression immediately takes a turn for the worse as a sense of coldness and slight anger fills her body.
"You are going to live a long life as you raise your son..", Head Geisha Alicia coldly says with a bit of unhidden sharpness and anger in her tone.
"Those Healing Mages says we have five years to find a solution..", Head Geisha Alicia says calmly. The ultimatum for Eleanora's life if she doesn't find one of the following solutions is five years but Head Geisha Alicia doesn't have it in her to put it so plainly neither did she believe she wouldn't find a solution until the time comes.
"Five years huh,.. I have a lot to do before then..", Eleanora says with a smile that wrinkles her eyes as a drop of tear rolls down her eyes and into her blonde hair.
"..And after then.", Head Geisha Alicia adds as she keeps gently patting the bed covers as if to send a child to bed.
"How's Navi doing?..", Eleanora asks with sleepiness now in her voice.
"He misses you. He haven't seen you for days..", Head Geisha Alicia says. Navi has long since regained his normal since his collapse but Eleanora isn't even aware that he ever collapsed.
Considering her condition, the last thing she needs now is concern for that of her child's.
"It will be too much for him to find out what happened to you so I spun a tale that involves you not being around for a week or two..", Alicia says while still patting the sheets in a comforting manner.
Eleanora murmurs an 'OK' and slowly, she drifts off to sleep with Alicia still patting against her sheets.
***In the North-west area of the Continent, - 'Saccurrus'- known as the home of the wild.
The Continent 'Eclipse of the Ocean' has its Imperial Palace and Imperial Court positioned almost at its very heart.
As a massive Continent surrounded by endless water with its area stretching hundreds of thousands of miles, the anatomy of the Continent is more than a little distinct in certain areas. On the North(12:00) of the Imperial Palace hails a stronghold as well as one of the seven arms of the Imperial court known as the 'Blazing Will Institution'.
This power house mans the Continent borders at their lines of the Continent's shores from beasts and foreign intruders alike as they are also known to be the most Neutral organisation amongst the arms of the Court as their heritage is focused on the pursuit of knowledge beyond known boundaries instead of power.
Laying next to this Neutral group is a formidable power-thirsty power-house by the name 'The Sliver Wing Clan' which lies north-west(10:00) of the Imperial Palace. The Sliver Wing clan also mans and maintain order not only on the borders of their shores but within their own borders.
They are known for their ruthlessness and savage nature as well as their tremendous pull within the court as the current Empress hails as the daughter to the current Clan Leader.
Within a Continent as massive as 'Eclipse of the Ocean', Even a single Territory like the Sliver Wing Clan is bound to have its own islands, forests, landscapes, desert, mountains, wonders as well as uncivilised territories.
At the far end left end of The Sliver Wing Clan's territory lies a popular and uncivilised area known for its commotion, depravity but also opportunities, -'Home Of the Wild'.
Like its title, the survival of the fittest in this environment is much more pronounced than the kind found on other cultivators circles.
And in this dangerous environment, something far more ominous than its known for is silently brewing with most people completely oblivious to it's occurrence.
