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 88: The Asylum of Blood, part 3.

 "I am not a Lich," Edwin repeated for what seemed to be the fifth time. He received the same answer as always.

A snort.

"Look, I knew there was something different about you. You are a Boliarin, true, but you are too young to be one. My bet is that king Valyr knew you were a Lich, but did not tell you, so he wouldn't have to deal with missing people. He probably wanted you to starve," the stairs seemed unending, but the further down they went, the more orange light spread over the staircase.

 There were even scones with candles on the wall now. Edwin realized with a start that he hadn't needed them, and that Sebastian hadn't explained to him why that was. But, he had more pressing issues now.

"King Valyr gave me his son to raise," Edwin knew the sour taste of denial, and he was feeling it now. Still, he persevered.
