The Blackwills

The old man in blue armour was standing behind Shian looking at him worriedly, he had sensed something was wrong with Shian and immediately killed all the beasts around him to lift the pressure off of him.

'He's still alive. I caused this, so I think it's only right I take care of him' The old man thought.

He gingerly lifted Shian from the ground and ran. He moved at a steady pace so as to not disrupt Shian's rest, though he wasn't slow by any means.

It didn't take long before they reached a base that was bustling with people, the old man stopped in front of the gate where two guards were positioned. They immediately bowed their heads and let him in, several similar situations occurred as he walked inside the base, the people he walked by bowed their heads with respect, though not the type of respect forced, but the one willingly given.

The old man made his way towards a room, he opened the door without knocking and entered.

Inside the room was an adjustable hospital bed with railings and a height-adjustable overbed table, there was a chair beside the bed and a screen, the room had a television and a window.

A nurse who looked to be in her early twenties turned around to look at who walked in without knocking, and then she frowned.

"Haven't I told you to knock before entering". She scolded the old man.

"Ahh...sorry, I was in a rush that's why." the old man scratched the back of his head as he said.

The situation looked rather comical as someone won't expect a gallant warrior —and an old one at that— to act sheepishly in front of someone way weaker and younger than them.

The woman who was about to continue scolding the old man stopped when she saw that he was carrying a person, she immediately told the old man to place Shian on the bed and began to work.

The old man watched as she worked carefully, she turned on a machine, and an object on the ceiling which looked like a camera projected a blue light, it scanned his body briefly and the screen beside the bed came up with an image of Shian's body, some parts began to turn red which indicated that that part needed attention, the part that had the deepest shade of red were his legs.

"DAMN!! His legs look pretty bad." The nurse mumbled to herself, then turned to look at the old man.

The old man who had heared her was seemingly looking at his armour intently as of trying to bore a hole in it so as to avoid the nurses gaze.

The nurse frowned and then looked away to focus on her patient. She tore off the bandage on Shian's legs and threw them away, she placed her hands over Shian's legs and a whitish glow left her hands and entered them, his legs grew new muscles, tissues and flesh. It was a gory scene but the two people watching were long used to seeing stuffs like that.

She moved on to the next part of his body that needed to be healed, his torso.

His torso was laced with deep cuts and purple bruises which showed just how much beating he had taken from the cruel beasts, the nurse inwardly felt pity for Shian. She wondered what he must have gone through to get all those marks on his body. She touched one of the marks and Shian's face contorted in pain, even though he was asleep, he still felt a terrible amount of pain from the little touch.

The nurse did the same thing to Shian's torso, she used her ability and all the marks on his front torso vanished, she turned his body with the help of the old man and did the same to his back. She was about to turn his body back when she saw a tattoo of a black sword on his lower back, she found it strange because he was a young boy and having tattoo on his body was not bad but that was it. It was strange.

She turned his body back and looked at his face, she caught herself gawking at him, She blushed and looked away.

She turned to the old man and asked him what happened to him because she knew that he had a hand in whatever happened to Shian. The old man proceeded to tell her how he was testing Shian's limit and eventually Shian couldn't go on anymore and his brain shut down.

She proceeded heal Shian's head, to be precise, his brain.

Shian had faced a lot so it was given that he was going to have some 'injuries' on his mind, besides the screen beside the bed was showing red on his head and since she didn't see any injury there, she knew it was his mental health that was not okay. She healed his him and sat down on the chair beside the bed and then began to talk to the old man.

Shian's eyes fluttered as he woke up. He looked around wondering where he was. The nurse and the old man where engrossed in their conversation so they failed to notice Shian waking up in time.

Shian caught a few words of what the nurse and the old warrior said before they could stop talking.

"....killed all the evolved tier beasts and above so it was only the lower tier beasts that I made him fight."

The nurse looked at Shian's bed and raised a finger signaling the old man to stop talking. "That was fast, a normal person would have taken at least five hours to wake." The nurse commented.

The last thing shian remembered was him trying to kill all the beasts to survive before they all suddenly dropped dead and now he woke up in a hospital, on a soft bed —which he missed a lot— and two people talking about killing beasts in front of him.

Without warning Shian's bed suddenly moved raising his torso and head up into a sitting position. The two people standing in the room where looking at him as if expecting something from him.

"Umm... Hi." Shian said as he was getting uncomfortable by their stares.

"Hello, my name is Enzo Blackwill, you can call me Grandpa Enzo." The old man said smiling so wide, it looked like he was closing his eyes.

The nurse rolled her eyes and said. "I'm Maya Blackwill".

"I was the one that put you in this situation,...soo, I apologize for what I did to you" The old man said and bowed his head lightly.

"Ookay."

Shian didn't know what the old man was talking about, so he tried to think about it and that was when he remembered something.

"Wait did you just say Blackwill" Shian exclaimed.
