Chapter 16: Revival "Sniff......sniff..." Alexis is still mourning Ivan's death in a graveyard near Henesys. "Hey sis. What's up?" a voice suddenly said from behind her. Turning around, she realized that there was a female bandit behind her. Alexis leapt into her arms, crying as she recognized her as her sister, Afrodita. "So...... Your boyfriend's dead huh?" she asked, glancing at the gravestone. Alexis replied, "Yeah...... Sniff...". "Not really. I can revive him!" another voice said from behind the both of them. Their brother, Jullian, stepped out from the misty air of the graveyard, armed with a Dragon Staff and clad in black robes with a mysterious seal on it. "Brother!" Alexis and Afrodita shouted and ran to hug him. "But I thought you were dead!" Afrodita cried. "I wasn't actually dead. That vampire placed a curse on me so I wouldn't be able to use my magic and also made me unable to heal my wounds. This is what happened that day......" Flashback: "Muahahahaha! You will be cursed for all eternity!" William laughed maniacally, forming a seal with his hands. Jullian suddenly felt extremely weak, as though his mana had been completely drained and a seal appeared on his body. "You will never be able to use magic for your entire life again!" William added and walked away, leaving the wounded Jullian lying on the ground. He fainted after a while. When he woke up, he got up and tried to walk painfully, back to El Nath, as he could no longer use his mystic door skill. As he made his way through the snowy mountains of, he had to rest quite a few times. A blizzard started up after a while and he had to run for shelter in a nearby cave. Once inside, he found a fire already started up and a figure in a black cloak beside it. "Can I share the fire please?" Jullian asked. The figure replied, "Sure, no problem." and Jullian sat down beside him. However, he fainted again, almost toppling into the fire. Luckily, the person held him back. He looked over Jullian, immediatly noticing the wounds and seal on him. "Whoah...... He's been through one heck of a serious fight." the person muttered, retrieving a handful of white potions from his bag, dumping the contents into Jullian's mouth. His wounds healed immediately and he woke up. "Sorry." he apologized, sitting up straight. "You've been cursed, haven't you?" the person asked, pointing at the seal on Jullian's chest. He replied, "Yeah...... I can't use my skills or heal my own wounds.". The person added, "I know a way to break that kind of curse." Jullian asked, excited, "How?". The person replied, "You must become a Dark Bishop." Jullian said, "But...... Isn't that illegal?". The person added, "It is the only way to break your curse. The only downside is that you cannot protect your friends with your Dark powers." Jullian replied reluctantly, "...... Okay. I'll do it.". The person said, "Hold still. I'll bestow the Dark powers on you." Jullian stood still as the person put his hands on Jullian's back, muttering a string of words in an ancient language. Jullian suddenly felt lighter and more powerful. Back to real time...... "So here I am now." Jullian said. "But...... Didn't that person say you wouldn't be able to use your Dark powers to help you friends? That means you can't use Resurrection on any of us." Alexis asked. "I heard that your friend here also has Dark powers flowing in his veins. I suppose that person meant i couldn't help any of my friends that don't have Dark powers. Anyway, this is the only chance you've got at reviving him. I'm probably the only Dark Bishop in the world. Get away." Jullian replied, holding his hands over Ivan's grave, muttering, "Spirit of the dead, come back to life. Dark Resurrection!". The very next moment there was a flash of darkness and Ivan was standing there, apparently dazed. Alexis ran crying to him and hugged him, saying, "I was so worried!". Ivan patted her on the back and replied, "I'm sorry......" Turning to Jullian, he thanked him, "I can't thank you enough for reviving me." Jullian said, "No problem. I need you to help me protect my sister." Ivan added, "Yeah, I heard that." Jullian placed his hands on Ivan's back and muttered, "Dark powers within me, flow through my hands and into this person's body." Jullian's hands started to pulse and streams of black energy flowed into Ivan's body. "This is a bit of my powers. I can't give you too much or I'll be left defenseless." Jullian said, pulling his hands away. "I have to go now." Jullian added, disappearing in a swish of his cloak. Alexis said, "Hey...... Why'd you have to leave so fast? Geez..." and hugged Ivan so tight she was accidentally squishing him. "You're...... squis......squishing...me......" Ivan mumbled and Alexis released him, apologizing, "Sorry." Afrodita asked, "Sis, aren't you gonna introduce me to your boyfriend?". Alexis replied, "Whoops, my bad. Ivan, this is my older sister, Afrodita. Sis, meet my boyfriend, Ivan.". Afrodita said, "Nice to meet you." Ivan replied, "Same to you." |
