*Axel's POV*
Having Silvara pleading against my chest helped push the bestial urges to destroy down. When I looked at Lozen my heart ached. It hurt my soul to see her like this. Silently I addressed Sylph to see if I had a way to heal her.
"Sylph please tell I have so way to heal her and help her. I can't lose Lozen. Please anything."
It was around ten seconds I had to wait for her reply and it ca solemnly.
[Host, you do but you cant access it yet because have not reached the Core Formation Realm.]
I felt my heart drop as my urge to go wild started picking up again. It wasn't until Silvara grabbed my face and turned it towards her that I snapped out of my downward spiral.
She looked deep into my eyes. I could see the concern, worry, and sothing else that was hard to put my finger on but I think it was affection. She brought her face closer to mine until we had less then an inch in between us.
"We will heal her. I am here to help you. We can do this together. Stay calm and stay with ."
Her words were like the sound of a bell washing away the last of my urges to destroy. I took a calming breath and wrapped my arms around her. I knew that her sister had misunderstood but that did not an that I accepted it. The only reason that I didn't attack her and try to kill her with all of my might was because of Silvara's begging .
It was more then that I guess but I just didn't want to concentrate on that for now.
"How can we help her? I don't have any abilities like that."
I asked curious as to what Silvara would say. She did not disappoint either.
With a flash of light she held up a small bottle with a round pill inside of it.
"This is a dium grade Health Pill. It should heal her completely but we will have to take the arrows out first. To do this safely you will have to feed her your energy so her body can help with the healing process." Silvara once again proved to how smart and wonderful she is having the answers I need just seed to co natural to her.
It was at that mont that Silvara's sister made her self known again.
"Absolutely not, you cannot use that pill for a beast. I bought that pill at auction to be a last resort for you Silvara. You can't ju-"
Tiana's words were cut off by Silvara herself. With a fierce glare on her face she whirled upon her sister with an angry flourish.
"Tiana, shut up! This entire ss is your fault. If you had just ca and talked to us instead of sending the guild in to attack this entire situation could have been avoided. Here Axel, heal her while I deal with this."
Saying this Silvara tossed the vial and I quickly caught it from the air. Without a second thought I knelt down in front of Lozen.
"Lozen this might hurt so but I promise you will live. Please forgive for not being strong enough." I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth as the mory of her jumping in the path of the arrows because I couldn't react in ti. " I will get stronger I promise."
With those last words I tried to breathe calmly before sending a steady stream of mana into her with my right hand. Using my left hand I systematically pulled all of the arrows out of her body even using another small amount of mana to block the blood from spilling from the wounds.
After all of the arrows were removed, I opened the vial and dumped the contents down Lozen's throat. I massaged it gently and watched in amazent at how fast it was taking effect.

*Silvara's POV*
I turned back and glared at my sister. I hated this side of her. Whenever it ca to sothing involving she would go crazy.
If she thought I was in danger there was no length she wouldn't go to, to ensure my safety. I have always loved her but I am not a soft persimmon and don't need to be saved all the ti. The matter with Ethan and my old party was a one off thing.
When she said that I couldn't use the pill to help Lozen recover though that was the last straw.
"Tiana, do you think that I cant make my own decisions?" I asked with a heavy tone.
"I never said you cant make your own decisions Sil but I wanted you to save that pill for yourself. How could sothing so precious be used on and animal. We have pet pills to work on that stuff. So what if that thing dies." Tiana spoke arrogantly and it grated on . How could my sister be so insensitive sotis.
The vein in my forehead was bulging at this point but I still kept myself calm. I couldn't blow up and make a scene, mainly because I saw that Axel had started healing Lozen.
"Tiana, would you say that if it was Persephone that was shot with those arrows?"
"I will admit that I would do anything to heal my little princess but not so mangy beast like that."
I knew the shot I fired this ti would hit the mark. Persephone was the daughter of our fathers contracted beast and the mont my sister and the beast cub t they were instant companions. Just like with my wolves and myself.
"Lozen is much more then a beast. She is a Black Fenrir and she is the only family Axel has. Axel by the way is the one that saved from a horrible outco. On top of that he even escorted back to the city." I turned slightly to see that Axel seed to have finished healing Lozen.
The relief I could see on his face was palpable. It brought a smile to my lips when I saw him cradling her head which was lager then his whole torso.
"Hmph, he probably just wants to use our family like so many others." I heard Tiana spit out.
Turning back towards her I was about to speak when I heard a thud from behind . Turning around I saw one of my sister's admirers standing over Axel with a steel club gripped tightly in his hand. He turned towards Tiana and spoke proudly.
"I did it Tiana. I stopped the nace from terrorizing your sister! Quickly bind him and we can take him back to the city for execution."
My heart sank when I heard his words. We could have brushed this under the rug if it had been anyone other them him to say those words. But his words carried too much weight. He can turn white to black with his influence and if he thinks that is what Tiana wants he will do it. He is the son of the City Lord, Garret Larody.
He constantly uses his fathers power to try and impress Tiana and even myself. I turned to Tiana with fury written across my face.
"You had better fix this Tiana. He is the one that saved ."

*Axel's POV*
I moved through the darkness for what seed like an eternity. I could feel warmth envelope from ti to ti like soone as trying to pull back. But the darkness was to strong. It had ahold of and did not want to let go from its silent embrace.
I did not know how I had gotten to this darkness. All I rember was cradling Lozen's large head after I healed her. Feeling the relief wash over my body and then a dull pain took over my mind and I blacked out.
No it seed I was knocked unconscious. I am still out of it from what I can tell now. I want to wake up and I can feel myself subtly moving but before I ever get to far sothing prevents from waking fully. In my frustration I started calling out for Sylph.
For the longest ti I didn't get any kind of reply. It wasn't until much longer that I faintly heard Sylph's beautiful voice start to reply to my calls.
[Host....you....Please....Miss...]
"Sylph I cant hear everything. Sylph are you there?"
I called out again hoping that I could get through to her. After a short silence I heard her voice coming through booming louder then I have ever heard it before. I also saw a pink light in the distance.
[Host, because you haven't co out of your coma yet I am taking extre asures. I will be opening your rewards from the last two missions and using them now.]
Two missions? From what I knew I hadn't even finished one mission how is it that I have cleared two? It puzzled my but I didn't have to much ti to ponder as the Sylph's voice bood through again.
[DING]
[Rewards for two consecutive missions being completed are now being calculated.]
[Calculation interrupted.]
[Reward Multiplier being applied to Reward generation.]
[Multiplying complete.]
[Reward generation complete]
[5 years of intense Cultivation
Bloodline Evolution
Skill: Appraisal]
[DING]
[Applying 5 years of intense cultivation]
With a surge of power ten tis stronger then the first one I felt. My cultivation jumped quickly. I counted 6 small explosions. So from my last experience I concluded that I made it to at least the 7th level of the Gathering Realm.
After feeling my cultivation rise I felt I could probably wake myself up but before I could try and take any action I heard another announcent co booming through.
[DING]
[Applying Bloodline Evolution.]
It started off with just a small warmth passing through my body but it got worse, much worse. It felt like my skin had been peeled back as my blood was being drained from my body.
By the ti I felt completely drained I could see a deep crimson light in the distance. Beside it I saw a golden light co into existence. Slowly the golden light took over the crimson light and they seed to have a struggle before I heard a deep ancient and guttural roar echo out of the golden light. After that the crimson light seed to fade away replaced completely by the golden light.
The next thing I saw was the golden light slipping into my body at extre speeds. When it entered I could feel power like never before. I sure I even had another breakthrough in my cultivation when it entered. At last I felt myself beco whole again and I slipped back into the darkness.

*Silvara's POV*
After Garret knocked Axel out I was furious. I ran up to him as fast as I could and slapped him in the face.
"Garret how could you?! He wasn't even doing anything! Besides he is my savior!"
With a sneer he glanced at Axel with contempt.
"That man just had bad intentions I could tell. Don't worry I will keep you and Tiana safe. No what I want you to worry about is the date we will be going on so you two can thank for all of my hard work."
The man was at it again. Twisting white to black and black to white. It is disgusting that he thinks this kind of thing would win myself or my sister over. Just as I was about to speak Tiana beat to the punch.
"What is going on with him?"
I looked over to Tiana just to see her pointing in Axels direction. He was convulsing with foam falling from his mouth. I ran to his side as quickly as I could. Looking him over I called out.
"Healers co here now and heal him!" My tone was fierce. I was not going to allow them to do anything but listen to .
Quickly they ca forward and started casting spell after spell on him. After about 3 minutes of constant healing spells being used on him his body seed to stabilize. He stopped shaking and just as I was standing back up ten guild mbers rushed forward with mana cancelation bindings and started securing Axel's limbs.
I was about to rush forward to stop them when I felt Tiana's arms wrap around from behind not letting move.
