Purzu's Blessing

"No need to hold back, ask me anything."

The door suddenly opens and Alexburth came in.

"Is Arthur alright?"

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

Alex then noticed Luke and got scared for a moment but quickly calmed down and smiled at Luke.

"Hello... Luke."

"We meet again, Alex."

"Ah right, You wanted to ask something about me, this is your chance."

"What's a Hysuer?"

Luke and Alex both looked at each other.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Well… To that Mountain dragon and Grandfather, was that question too much to ask? I can change my-"

"That is too much to ask... I'm sorry, I can't take my word on that."

"Okay…"

"I'm sorry…"

"Can you tell us what's your relationship with grandfather? You two seem very close…"

Luke and Alex looked at each other smiled for a little and turned back to Cecilia.

"Perhaps Alex can answer that for you."

Alex then stepped forward.

"Long ago, before I was deemed to be a hero and along with Persha and Milvorn. We were supervised and taught by a very powerful someone, and that someone is Luke."

All of them let out a shocked expressions.

"Very powerful someone is a bit strict."

"So you're the great teacher?!"

"Great teacher? Is that what you've been telling people?"

Luke asked as he turned to Alex.

"It wasn't me, It was Milvorn who started it."

"But…you look so...young…"

Said Arthur.

"I have my secrets."

Luke spoke with a slight smile.

Merlin then rose his hand to catch Luke's gaze which worked.

"Hmm?"

"Sir Luke! As a fellow sorcerer, can I please talk with you in private!"

"Not on that condition, you're not."

Said Alex.

"Oh! Can I ask something now?"

Toru spoke.

"Ah yes, Toru, ask away."

"So how old are you?"

"That's a bit rude to ask… you know, you could've asked for a much better question than that."

"Well I'm curious, is it wrong to ask?"

"Very well, let's see…"

Luke stopped to gather his thoughts and then answered.

"Let me see... in the mortal calendar, maybe 60.000 years old, even more than that if I remember correctly, I just don't add certain...events."

"Wow…"

"Are you like a vampire or something?"

"Something like that perhaps."

"Wow!"

"Can I ask for something as well?"

"That's all the questions that I can answer, my promise is with this two."

"But-"

"You may ask Alex if you have more questions."

"The moon has already risen, all of you should rest. I have to talk with Arthur about our deal, tomorrow."

Luke and Brute then went outside and walked away.

They then saw a balcony and starts walking towards it.

As they reach the balcony, Luke's staff formed on his right hand and he turned into a dark mist and flew up above the castle.

Luke stood at a flat tip of a tower and Brute turned into a falcon and stood at the ruff of a window.

He stood still for a moment, overlooking the situation in the country.

In the corner of Luke's eye, he saw something move below the castle, he looked at the medics giving potions and treating the injured.

Then he looked over to the side and saw a pile of dead bodies that looks that has been left at least for a day.

"Those are mostly knights who've died in the campsite…"

He then saw a woman holding a small child in her arms begging to let her in.

"Please! I just want to know his in there!"

"Ma'am, we don't allow outsiders here.

"Please!"

Luke then turned into an owl and flew with Brute.

They explored the castle til' he went to the windows where Arthur and Merlin lie.

Like found the two standing up beside one another in the window overlooking the kingdom below.

At the roof of the window, Luke sat there in his owl form with Brute sitting close by.

He saw Alex, Arthur, and Merlin talking to each other about Luke and he listens.

"Was that all true?"

Asked Arthur.

"Yes."

"Amazing..."

Merlin spoke under his breath.

"I don't feel the two, maybe they already went ahead."

Luke spoke in his mind towards Cecilia and Toru.

"Amazing that maybe, we still have a huge problem on our hands."

The other two stopped smiling.

"Right…"

"A lot of our men are dead…along with her…"

"Qeniver…"

The three frowns.

"We should surrender while we still have a chance."

"What are you talking about Arthur! We can still fight!"

Said Merlin.

"I will also fight."

Alex stumps his cane.

"We can still fight yes, but we can win…"

"What?! We can!"

"We lost too many men, we can't let them die for nothing, better to surrender so that they will spare the life of our citizens."

The two stop talking.

Luke listens to their conversation and felt compassionate and remorse over them, as he did once experience this.

"I'm not supposed to be helping mortal problems that they can solve on their own. But, towards my years of life, he one of the few kings who actually cares for his people."

Luke then flew away to the sky with Brute until he can see the whole Kingdom above.

He then turned back to his normal body and proceed to cast a powerful spell.

"Grand Clock"

He closes his eyes and lifts both of his arms across and a huge scar on his right eye begins to show along with his staff turning bright like light as it turns into bright dust and forms a huge circle behind Luke.

When the scar began to show, the bright dust began to turn into a huge clock that was ticking clockwise along with Luke breathing heavily.

Luke gather his breath and calmed down.

Luke opens his eyes slowly and the winds begin to slowly move, the waters slowly flow, and torches kindle ever slowly.

As he opens his eyes fully, the world stops.

Luke then looks at his gold ring.

"Still have some mana to spare."

He then looked back at the dead bodies below and started descending below the corpses with the clock this on his back.

Luke stepped on his right foot first at the ground and then the other and a wave of light splashes across the field of bodies.

He looked down on a corpse below him and kneeled down to inspect the body.

Flys was havering the body along with the others but flew motionless.

Luke opened the cloth covering the dead body's face tossed it over with the cloth stopping mid air.

Though the body the stiff and with few beetles crawling.

Luke touches the chest of the corpse.

"His soul is still here... trapped on his body, refusing to let go."

"What? who was that?"

The soul spoke.

"What's keeping you here?"

Asked Luke.

"What? Who am I talking to?"

"You are dead, child, why haven't you passed the gates?"

"Ha? right... I died... Am I talking to an angel? A... God?"

"Perhaps... but worry not, you'll be given a second chance, the others as well will be given this gift."

"I get to live again?! MY GOD! Thank you so much, Dear Lord!"

Luke then stands back up and looks on the field of bodies.

"Decay has began, but not to the souls, I must act quickly."

He snapped his finger and a pulse of dark flames came out forming a circle and circling around each bodies.

However, with some having none.

The dark flames this turned white and went inside to each bodies.

"It seems all souls stayed, well... A second chance of life is given by those who stayed, use it well."

Luke then flew up to the sky to escape the scene.

As he flew, a glimmer of orange light shines in the corner of Luke's eyes and turns his head to where this light is.

Luke saw a cemetery with men digging and burying coffins.

Luke decides to go the cemetery to which he did to see maybe he can save some more lives.

In the entrance, he saw grave that are still open and ready to bury bodies and as well as dead soldiers.

Then Luke notice a coffin with decoration placed on top of it.

He went closer then opened the lid of the coffin and saw a beautiful middle age woman with clothes that has stars and medals on its sides.

"Her clothes are different from the others, she might be a high rank officer."

Luke turns around and walked away a little.

Just like before, he snapped his finger and a pulse of dark flames appeared and formed a circle around the dead bodies.

It turned white flame and went to the dead soldiers' bodies.

However, as Luke was about to go away, he turns to see that the coffin that the woman was in has no dark flames encircling.

Luke was confused and went closer.

Luke snapped his finger again but still no dark flame coming out.

Luke starts to feel the aura on the woman's body and feels a weak aura of dying light.

"Is she still alive? There is no possible way that they mistook her as a dead...?"

Luke then snapped his finger and everything starts to move again along with his with the bright scar disappearing.

Luke then took off his dark gloves that and puts his hand above the mouth and nose of the woman.

He felt a warm air gushing on hand and proceed to put his dark gloves back on this hand.

Luke then suddenly hears a men's voice shouting behind him but ignores the man.

"Hey! You shouldn't be here!"

"Hey! Don't! That's general Qeniver's coffin!"

As the men get close, Luke turned around and waved his hand across the men, and the two falls on the ground.

He puts his hand again to the coffin and the coffin the burned to ashes leaving the body.

He lifts his left hand and the body then floats before it could fall on the ground.

He clumps his hand forming a fist the body then disappeared.

He then floats up to the sky Brute still beside him.

He floats back to the infirmary and landed at the entrance.

"What the? Where did you came from?"

"I need to borrow a bed."

"What? Are you having a seizure?"

"The bed is not for me."

"Then who?"

He then walked through to the woman and went inside the infirmary.

"Sir, you shouldn't be here."

He continued to walk until he found an open bed.

"Sir, who are you?"

Asked nurses.

"Sir, please wait outside."

A falcon then entered and went beside Luke and turned into Brute.

"What the!?"

Everyone panics as they saw a giant wolf.

"Aaah!"

Luke then opened this hand and Qeniver's body appeared and laid at the bed.

"General Qeniver!"

"What are you trying to do!?"

Brute growls at them and lowered his body while showing his teeth at them.

Luke then puts his hand above Qeniver's body and white light then appeared.

Lies his hand on Qeniver's stomach and a dark mist

"She still has a chance."

"What are you talking about Sir?"

"Hand me you healing potion."

"What!? Where not gann-"

Brute then growled at the man.

"Alright!"

He took the best potion he could find took at out of the shelf.

As he pulled the potion out, it was forcefully pulled by an unknown force and went to Luke.

"What the?!"

The lid of the bottle of potion the opened and liquid then floats out and in to Qeniver's mouth.

"Sir!"

Luke waited for a few moment but nothing happened.

Luke then lift's his hand a bright light appeared

"I did not used this magic to Arthur and Merlin because I don't want to use to much of my power but… if I use the phoenix tears, it might kill everyone in here"

Luke spoke on his mind.

"But this it's an emergency."

"Touch of Life"

Touch of life, a spell that greatly bites nature. It is a spell that is sometimes mistaken with sorcerers and mages as a healing magic which it is not.

Healing magic increase the regeneration process with the caster's mana being the fuel.

Touch of Life, however, does not heal, but replace the damaged part with a new that mirrors the original part only at its healthy state.

Though this works better than healing magic, this can cause mutations if casted poorly.

Moreover, if the curtain body part like the brain is damaged and replaced by a new, there is a chance the memories will be forgotten with the some cases having all their memories completely erased.

Also, Touch of Life can be only used by certain races like giants and not to other races like human with weak tolerance over strong magics such as this.

As Luke cast a Touch of Life, it blooms in a bright light that illuminates the clinic and made the medics cover their eyes.

"Sir! What are you doing!?"

"Please sir, stop!"

The light fades away and dim down the clinic and they uncover their eyes.

"What was that?"

Ask one of the doctors.

Cecilia then entered the infirmary because of the screams of the doctors inside.

"What going here?"

"Miss Cecilia! There's man here with his wolf and-".

"Wolf?"

He looked at the right and saw Luke and Brute.

"Luke! What are you doing!"

In the paw of Luke's hand, a little pinch of light was floating.

"Luke?"

He then puts his hand at the stomach of Qeniver.

"What did you do, Luke?"

In a few moments of silence, Qeniver then starts to cough loudly and got up and hits Luke's head.

"Aa…what the? Where am I?"

"Impossible…"

Said the doctors and nurses.

"Aunty Qeniver?"

"Cecilia?"

Said the half conscious Qeniver.

"That hurts…I guess I let my guard down again."

Luk spoke as he got up.

"Who are you?"

Qeniver then looked over and as she tuned her head, Brute was in her face and licked her in the chick.

"What the!!"

Qeniver panicked and fall down on the bed and got up.

"Why is there a Dire wolf in here?! Where's my sword!?"

They all looked at Qeniver with just blank staring eyes.

"Why are you guys just staring at me?"

"How?"

Said Cecilia.

"How what?"

Asked Qeniver.

Cecilia then rushed at Qeniver and hugged her tightly.

"You're back!"

"Woaw there… I'm back what?"

"You came back to life!"

"What are you saying? What do you mean?"

"Haha!!"

"How? Did that man brought her back to life?

"That man?"

Qeniver then looked over trying to fine Luke but she didn't find him.

"Where'd he go?"

"We need to inform father about this good news!"

"Wait, where did the wolf go?"

"I don't know… quickly, let's head to father!"

"You mean Arthur? Hey, don't pull so much."

They got out to the infirmary and start to run towards to Castle.

They run fast and past many standby soldiers.

"Hey? Is that… Miss Qeniver?"

"General Qeniver?"

The soldiers gossip.

Up above, Luke and Brute watched as Cecilia and Qeniver run to inform Arthur.

Luke smiled as he saw Cecilia so happy and the priceless reaction of the people nearby by looking at the once dead person.

As Luke remembers the dead, Luke looked over in the distance, and with great height, he saw the village of Gunruth. Destroyed and broken.

Luke's staff then formed on his hand and lifted it a dark mist appeared in front of him.

He went inside the mist as well as Brute.

The destroyed buildings of Gunruth, a dark mist opens and comes out Luke and Brute.

Luke gazed at the destruction and ruins and reminded him of his old home, destroyed and broken.

He noticed that there were no knights guarding and they didn't finish to take the dead of the debris and the dead bodies that were put in the streets, were just piled over and were cover by flammable liquid.

"Looks like they had other plans for the dead…"

Luke then stumps his staff to the ground and starts to emits dark mist and smoke to the ground.

The mist then flows over the village and starts to cover everything to it path with dark mist.

As the mist covered everything, the mist disappears and then dark flames then encircle every bodies.

The dark flames then went inside disappeared.

Luke then heard crying child.

He looked over it and saw the little girl that he saw in the small dresser shop.

"It's the girl…but, where's the other child?"

The little girl was still holding a teddy bear that he gave and walking around crying.

He went closer to her while Brute is in the sky flying.

"Hey there…"

The little was still crying.

"Hey now, there's no need to cry…"

She notices Luke and the little girl then starts to run towards Luke and hugged his leg and starts to cry even more.

Luke then kneeled down and pat the little girl.

"What's the problem little princess?"

"Big… brother…"

"What about your brother?"

"Bad guys…and swords"…"

"Sword? Do they also have armor on?"

"Ye-yes…"

"No… I can only hope that he lost her."

"Can you tell me where is your big brother?"

"They took… big brother…"

'What? Why would they…?"

The girl then cries even more.

"Now now…stop crying…"

Luke then hold here up and hugged her.

"Stop crying now…it's all ganna be alright…"

As she pats her head, a small pinch of mist flew out on Luke's sleeve and stung her on the back of his neck.

She fell asleep and dropped the teddy and Brute quickly swop over to catch it and drop it to Luke's hand.

"Let's continue."

With the snap of Luke's finger, the building starts to re-assemble and Luke and Brute went back in the portal and came out in the sky of the kingdom of Beramuth.

He then used his invisibility magic and casted to Brute and little girl.

He then went to the windows where Arthur and Merlin are healing.

He then watches as to what they we're doing and saw Arthur, Merlin and Qeniver hugging each other.

Luke smiled and put his back to the wall close to the window and listened.

"I thought we lost you…"

"I thought you said you won't die."

The door then burst opened and Toru and Nichole were at his arm.

"Mama!"

Toru then put Nichole down and rushed towards Qeniver and hugged her tightly.

"Why didn't you come back much sooner?

"Hey, at least I came back."

"How did you even come back?"

"Luke brought her back!"

"Luke?"

"I saw Luke at the infirmary and brought back Ante to life!"

Arthur then looked at Merlin.

Their celebration was cut shortly as the hear loud cheering outside and horde of echoing lighter of happy people.

They went to the window and saw people cheering and opened the window.

They saw more people the usual and realized that those are dead people that are back to life.

"How is this possible?"

"Did god saw us and grant us mercy and a miracle happened?"

"Or maybe…Luke?"

Arthur and Merlin looked at each other.

Luke then became visible again and talked to them while floating beside the window.

"Towards the history of kings I've meet, you are one of few kings that earned my respect."

"What the? Luke?

Luke then went inside the room and landed on his feet.

He then puts the little girl to one of the beds.

"Who's that?"

"A little girl in the village of Gunruth."

"Is this because of you?"

"I suppose."

"I'm…very thankful."

Luke the notice that Alex is not in the room

"Where is Alex?"

"He already went back to his bed."

"Are you even sure it was him?"

"So, your name is Luke? The guy who brought me back to life?"

"Indeed."

Qeniver then went to Luke and lifts his hand towards Luke and offer a hand shake to him.

"Thank you."

"I don't normally shake hands with mortal but I'll make an exception."

Luke lift's his hand towards Qeniver and she grabbed Luke's hand and pulls his close to hug him beneath her chest.

"Thank you for giving me a second chance."

"Don't make me jealous, I want a hug as well!"

Toru then went to both of them and hugged them both tightly.

"Hold on…I only agree to a normal handshake…"

Cecilia then jumped in to join and hugged them.

"This is the only time I'll be hugging Toru."

"I want in too!"

Nichole then went in a hugged as well.

"Wait…"

"Haha, I guess I'll join in as well."

Arthur then went to them and joined them to have group hug."

"I said wait…please."

"Come on Merlin, join us already."

"No."

"Booo… party pooper…"

"Come on already."

"Fine, since you asked!"

Merlin then joined their hug.

Luke then stopped resisting and just let them freely hug him.

'Its been a while since I've got a warm loving hug'

'Maybe it's time for me to do a little change.'

Meanwhile, Alex is walking forward and pasted by Arthur and Elizabeth bedroom.

He then stopped as he saw the door was slightly opened and heard Elizabeth talking to someone.

"It failed Clark! I thought you demons are experts at killing people?!"

"Calm down Liz, how did Arthur survive?"

"This person named Luke stopped the Dragons."

"Luke ey? I'll keep an eye on him."

Elizabeth then heard the door opened and stopped their communication.

"Who's there?"

"Still planning to kill you husband, Liz?"

"Is just you…"

"If Arthur-"

"And if Arthur what? His ganna believe an old crazy geezer over his trusted and loyal wife?"

"Keep it up, you don't know who's you dealing with."

"Dealing with what? Geezer."

"You'll see."

Alex then went out to the room and lift's Elizabeth to the room.

"Do your best old man…"

"You have no idea what's coming to you Liz, I thought you were a kind and gentle woman, but you're as evil as the other Hysuers."

In base of Trish, he punished the man for falling to take back the egg.

"You worthless piece of shit!"

"Please Forgive me."

"Now you're sorry, you shit? You lying vermin!"

"Trish, calm down."

"I'm…sorry."

"We don't lecture disloyalty here."

Clark grab the face of the man and dark violet appeared to the face of the man and then he died.

"We kill them…"
