What Happened Then and Now

"So good! Hey, Nuggets! Don't steal my food!" Jay said while he was having a great time eating. He was so captivated by the food he was eating that he almost forgot about Aisleen.

Bawk Bawk!!!

Aisleen just watched the both of them enjoy their meal while she silently ate hers. Then after some time later, when they have finished up...

"I suppose the both of you will quiet down now?" Aisleen asked while she had a weird look on her face.

Jay and Nuggets did not even managed to utter a word since they ate too much food. So Jay just nodded his head as he looked at her and smiled.

Then Aisleen said "I suppose you want to know what happened after you got hit by that lightning. Make sure to listen carefully since I will only recount the events once."

Back in time... After Jay got hit by the lightning strike...

"Cleric! Hurry up! Oi!!! Why are you just standing there! HELP HIM!!!" Bloody Harvest shouted as he looked at Jay who looked like a burnt piece of meat.

Then the two clerics, Annie and Abby, started casting healing spells one after another. But sadly, Jay was still motionless.

"We're sorry... Jay! Wake up! Jay!" Jay's friends shouted while they cried.

"Kid... what a waste... good luck wherever you are now..." a dwarf NPC said as he looked at Jay's corpse.

As for the rest of the people not related to Jay, they just stood there, motionless. They did not know what to do since the moment they were almost to celebrate after the skies cleared up, this happened.

Then just as everyone had their own thoughts about the matter at hand, the four powerhouses finally arrived. Barton, the old man from the slums, Goodboy, and Aisleen.

When Barton saw Jay's condition, he shouted on top of his voice to disperse the crowd. "MOVE!!!"

Of course, since everyone knew how much power Barton has over Murkwood Town, they dispersed. But Jay's friends, including Nuggets, still grieved at the side.

Then Barton cast an illusion spell that allowed him to see what happened back in time 3 minutes ago. Of course, he allowed the rest to see the spell he was casting. Everyone then saw how Nuggets was almost about to die when Jay shielded her.

"I see..." Barton then tossed over a silver coin to Roasted Boar.

Barton then said "Use this for his burial ceremonies. May this kid's soul rest in peace."

But just as about he was going to leave, the old man grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Oi! Don't you have some kind of spell to help the kid?" The old man said.

"You saw those clerics fail didn't you? I do not even know a single healing spell! As for my healing scrolls, it's all gone since I used it on that chicken the past few days. What about you Bolin? Don't you have some 'magical juice' to heal him up?"

Bolin, the old man, then let go of Barton and looked at Jay's corpse one more time.

As for Goodboy and Aisleen, they just watched from the side.

After some few moments of silence, the powerhouses left except for Aisleen. Just as Roasted Boar was going to carry Jay's body, Aisleen approached them and said...

"Leave him to me. I know a way to restore the kid back."

When everyone heard her, they did not even believe a word she said. Especially Nuggets.

Bawk Bawk!!!

"Why should we believe you lady?" Hot Buns said as he helped Roasted Boar carry Jay's body.

"Then, excuse me for being impolite..." Aisleen then used an unknown spell and everyone started to slowly to lose control of their body and lose consciousness.

"What is this? What did you do to us?" Roasted Boar said as he slumped down to the ground.

Bawk Bawk!!!

"As for you..." Aisleen then grabbed Nuggets and tied her up. She then used a spell to make Jay's body float as she disappeared together with Jay and Nuggets.

"The end... Did you enjoy the story?" Aisleen asked as she started eating her grapes again.

"Wait... that's it? How did I come back to life then? You said that I already became a corpse... so how? And how long was I unconscious?" Jay asked while he had a serious look on his face.

Aisleen then replied...

"That's a secret. But the only thing you should know is that the soul of the Chicken Lord, your ancestor, now resides within your body. All of this is thanks to the armor you had equipped. As for how long... I think only a week have passed."

Then a book appeared out of thin air in front of Jay.

"That right there is a spell book. It is important for you to learn it if you want to return to your normal form or your 'chicken form.'"

When Jay heard Aisleen say 'chicken form,' he had a very bad premonition in his mind. The moment he looked at the book, he knew that his bad premonition was correct.

=================

Tier 5 Spell - Complete Transformation

*Can only be used by Halfbloods or Beastmen.

Allows you to transform into a human or transform back into your bestial self.

=================

"No... I do not want to be a chicken... why..." Jay shuddered and almost cried as he grabbed the skill book. What's worse was that the book was very thick, meaning that it had a lot of pages on it. And more pages means that the spell is a hard one to learn...

While Jay was lost in his thoughts, Aisleen tossed over a small box to Jay.

"Inside that box is the emblem for the guild you recently made. Make sure to contact those idiot friends of yours."

Jay then opened the box and saw the emblem. The design engraved on it looked exactly like what he thought of. Nuggets using Spark while in flight.

---------------------------

[Golden Phoenix Emblem - (Common)

- Represents that you belong to the guild 'Golden Phoenix'

- Allows you to communicate with any guild member anytime.]

---------------------------

After looking at the emblem for a few seconds, Jay asked Aisleen if he could leave now since there were too many things for him to do and think about.

"Sure. But the moment you leave my castle, I'm afraid you would not be able to enter again."

Jay and Nuggets then left the throne room and looked for the castle's exit.
