An Explorer's Guide (BL)

Completed! =) Healing is not just healing, it is also politics. Edwin had heard it all, had repeated it time and time again. He did not want to accept those words. They were vile, they were poisonous. A necromancer such as himself had no right to become a healer, he still did his best. An altruist like him had no place in the service of the king as Boliarin. He still refused to give up the title, for fear that someone else would take it, and plunge Duria into chaos. All his life, he had played by the rules. Even when he suffered losses, even when he believed he could not look himself in the mirror. Everyone has a breaking point. Edwin did not lie to himself. He was calm, but not sane. The camel's back had long since been broken. And yet, when his ray of moonlight, the vampire Hadrian, offered to travel with him, Edwin agreed. He lets himself pretend he was good, hoping he might lie to himself one of those days. Would Harry be enough to stop him from darkening the world? Or would he end up just another villain, who had once been bright-eyed and hopeful? The story is complete, and has 109 chapters in total, around 1k each. Updates: 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Thank you for your time! =)

Chapter 22: The prophecy

While Hadrian was used to being on the road, and it was much more comfortable travelling in a carriage, the kids were constantly tired. Which meant they spaced out and complained they couldn't sleep.

That was also brought about by the fact that they needed to sleep during the day as they travelled during the night. Edwin, Hadrian suspected, was a seasoned veteran of four hours of sleep per day.

He had to be too, being a healer. Hadrian had to pretend to be asleep for longer as he literally restrained Edwin with his bulk.

The children, not wanting to hear Edwin write about the cases he had encountered on the road in the middle of the day, also piled on the healer.

Maybe Edwin had caught up on it and was keeping silent. Perhaps he was just obvious. But he kept still the entire day and tried to sleep, with varied success. Hadrian had the need of only six hours' worth of sleep.
