Mysterious Bracelet

Struggling to get on his feet, Jason started to walk towards the tent at a very slow pace and at the same time mourning in pain. After making it to the tent, Jason couldn't help it anymore as he fell on the ground with his clothes being soaked with sweat.

Seeing her brother in this condition, Hannah couldn't help but giggle but after seeing his swollen legs, her happy face turns to that of worry as she ran to where he was laying before placing her hands on the legs.

"Shh, take it easy will you," said Jason feeling the pain intensify after been touched.

"What happened to your legs big brother, did you get into another fight with Andrew and his gangs again" ask Hannah as she took her hands off his legs.

"Only if it was a fight, I would have been glad" replied Jason.

"Since it is not the handing work of Andrew and his gangs, then how did your legs got these injuries," asked Hannah curiously.

"Hannah leaves your brother alone and goes prepare the meal," said Clara in a calm tone.

Hannah got up and went to prepare the meal, leaving Jason and Clara alone in the room.

"I think your training will have to wait until you have completely recovered before continuing," said Clara.

"Good heavens I won't be kicking that tree tomorrow else I would be crippled for life and won't be able to fulfill my dreams," thought Jason.

Later in the morning, Hannah raised in with a bowl of soup in her hand and roasted meat and they ate and later in the night, Clara came in with a little jar as she instructed Hannah to hold Jason's hand so that he won't be disturbing her while she is doing her thing.

"Be a good boy and stay still if you want to recover on time" said Clara after Hannah has held him in place.

Clara opened the jar and pour a greenish liquid into her hand before rubbing it on Jason's legs and begin to massage the legs. When the liquid was rubbed in his legs, Jason felt a cold chill flowing through his body and he became relaxed until the torture started as he yelled in pain while trying to free himself from Hannah's grip but could not since he was in a laying position.

"Big brother stop struggling and just bear through it okay," said Hannah as she continues to hold him tightly.

The struggle continues until Clara was done with the massage as she rises from the ground and went to sit, leaving Jason laying there soaked entirely as he was just panting.

After some time, the stinging pain he has been feeling was longer a that painful and was within his endurance.

"I can't feel the pain that much anymore, what is that liquid," asked Jason as he sat up.

"That is the vial of the healer, you can have the rest in case you got a swell after training again, you can just apply it to the spot and massage it" reply Clara as she tosses the jar to Jason.

"Thanks, mother," said Jason with a smile after catching the jar.

"What about me mother, won't I be getting any, you know that I am a lady," asked Hannah charming.

"Sorry Hannah, but that is the last one, by the way, you are not even a cultivator so what do you want to use it for" replied Clara.

"Mother I am a lady you know, taking care of my skin should be my priority," said Hannah.

"As I said, that jar is the last and I have already given it to your big brother. You can tell him to give it to you only if you don't want him to continue with his cultivation" replied Clara

Hannah waves her hand in disapproval when she heard her mother's word and ran out of the tent. Seeing her daughter acting weird, Clara couldn't hold her laughter in and just let it out.

"What a silly girl," said Clara as she continues to laugh.

And that is how the day went by, same with the other days as Jason continues to recover from his injury and a week time, his legs have completely gone back to the way they used to be. Walking to continue with his practice, Jason was suddenly yelled at by Clara.

"If you are looking for where to train, why don't you go deep into the woods instead of disturbing my sleep".

Leaving the area, Jason went deep into the woods where the noise won't be a disturbance to others and he continues with the kicking exercise as he switched legs while reducing the strength of his kick. As he continues to kick the tree before him until it was late at night.

Coming to a halt after kicking the tree for hours, Jason bent his head to look at his legs and see the condition they were in, thankfully after his mother's advice, he was able to escape getting them swollen but he still felt a stinging pain. Taking out the jar his mother gave him, Jason squat and begin to apply it to his legs and massage it.

Jason was just about to head home since he was done with his practice but decided to take a bath in the lake not far from where he was training and getting there, Jason was shocked to see that the moonlight was reflecting on the lake and an image of a bracelet was seen floating there.

"How can a bracelet be floating on top of the lake, unless it is a treasure," said Jason in surprise before taking off his clothes and dive into the lake as he head for where the bracelet image was.

Getting close, Jason stretched his hands forward to grab the bracelet but to his surprise, his hands went through with the light reflecting on his palm.

"Could it be that the bracelet is down below?" said Jason, as he didn't think twice before diving inside as he began to follow the light down below until his legs could touch the soil and laying in the ground, was the bracelet as it glitters.

In the excitement of finding the bracelet, Jason pick it up before heading back to the surface and went home wet as soon as he came out of the lake to avoid trouble.
