Limits Chapter 197

Yagaroths were water based creatures, land, was not their domain. Yet, I couldn't lose them. Even worse, the distance was getting shorter. 'I'm not far away from the location, of my hidden bag with the Yellow Dust. I just need to retrieve it and then… End everything' I thought. The Avians were relentlessly trying to slow down, I decided not to stop and shoot anymore. This would only shorten the distance between and Yagaroths.

My set of clothes beca rags at this point, it offered almost no protection. The Formations placed on the set, seed to weaken or disappeared completely. 'I can already see the location, just a bit more!' I thought and ran, like never before.

When I finally arrived at the place, where my bags were hidden, I quickly dug them up and opened one. The Yellow Dust started pouring out. The amount created a small hill, when the bag beca completely empty, I threw it to the side and placed the other bag onto my shoulders, then ran.

When the Avians saw the mountain of Yellow Dust, they instantly stopped. So started retreating, while other waited in the air, scared to approach. The Yagaroth army was getting closer to the pile of Yellow Dust, while Avians tried to make them retreat, but no Yagaroth listened. When I was about 300 tres away, I took out a cloth and wrapped it tightly around an arrow. With the arrow prepared, I lit it.

When the Avians saw this, they gave up any attempts of persuading the Yagaroths to retreat, and fled as far as they could. The Yagaroths got closer and closer to the pile, and thought nothing of it. None of them stopped or retreated. 'This is your doom' I thought. I took aim, and shot my arrow. "Swoosh!". The arrow flew through the air, and landed in the pile of Yellow Dust.

"BOOOOOOOOM!"

The mont I released the arrow, I started running again. The blast from that explosion, would be much more severe, than the one I released upon the whole horde of Corpse Dogs. When the arrow arrived, the sky lit up and beca bright from the explosion, my ears rang and hurt a lot. Then the blast of hot air hit . "UGHHHH!!"

I flew through the air like a rag doll. I almost lost consciousness, due to the impact alone. I was alive, thanks to the distance, but also because, I turned around at a last possible mont and shielded my body, using my arms and legs. My arms were broken and scorched, from the impact. Fortunately, the bones didn't shatter and only broke.

When I finally landed, the sole protection on my back, was the added armour in my clothes. Thankfully, it survived the attacks of Avians. The first impact slowed down, but I didn't stop and bounced back into the air. I bounced like this couple of tis, then finally stopped. "Cough..." I coughed out so blood. The pain was real, my arms broken and I had difficulty breathing. My legs were not broken, but hurt like hell and were also charred. I couldn't pick myself up whatsoever.

Frosty transford into corporeal form, and quickly started using its breath, to freeze so parts of my body. 'That lizard is not stupid at all, coldness can decrease my pain but also preserve the wounds' I praised Frosty in my mind. 'But, Frosty also suffered so damages. I can see scorched marks on it, as well as so bruises' I thought. When I looked at the place, that used to contain an army of Yagaroths, there was a huge pit in the ground. The skies and land, were clear of any living creature, there was nothing in sight, but the pit.

I asked Frosty with so difficulty "Can... you... take out... so... dicine... from my bag? Ugh". Frosty stopped and nodded its head, quite worried. After a while, Frosty showed all the bottles, I had in my bag. I pointed with my eyes "Give this on to drink, I need to recover fast". Frosty opened my mouth and poured in the dicine. I looked at another bottle and said "Sar this one on , it will allow my wounds to heal faster".

Frosty did whatever I asked it to do, without complaints. After about 15 minutes of resting, I could see sothing flying in the air. 'These bastards are back. I need to leave, now!' I thought and slowly picked myself up. Although my legs hurt like hell, I still managed to stand up. I said "Let's go, we need to leave. The Avians are coming". Frosty nodded and followed after , it didn't return to my hand, as a tattoo.

While walking away, I said to myself "Wait you fucking birds, when I break through the Inner Limit, your race is dood!" and left in a hurry. The Avians didn't chase anymore, they simply flew in circles, around that huge pit, created by the explosion. I limped forwards, while Frosty acted as my support. I couldn't use my hands, so anything I needed, Frosty had to take care of it. I was glad to have Frosty with , it never complained about doing anything for . It knew, how much everything hurt .

While we walked, I said "Thank you. It seems, I needed you more, than you needed ". Frosty shook its head and made so noises, then smiled. I thought 'Maybe both of us need each other'. We walked for a long ti, until I wasn't able to see the Vulture Cliffs in the distance.

I said to Frosty "Let's take a break, I will need you to treat my arms. But don't worry, I will tell you want to do". Frosty nodded its head, but I could see that it was afraid a bit. I told Frosty the instructions of healing my broken arms, and explained what dicine to use. Frosty was an intelligent lizard, it rembered all the steps, so we went straight to the point.

"Begin with my right arm first. You need to locate the broken bone, and then align them. This will hurt no doubt, but just focus on the task, don't worry about ". Frosty nodded with determination and started the procedure. The 1st try was unsuccessful. I scread in pain "AGH! It's wrong! Try again!".

Frosty's confidence disappeared after the failure, but it still tried its best. After a while of agonising pain, Frosty finally managed to align the bones properly. "Haah…. Haaah… Now.. apply the dicine.. then wrap it… with sticks…" I had to take breaks when speaking due to the pain. Frosty applied the dicine, then wrapped my whole arm using cloth and sticks.

After so ti, the pain subdued and I could finally think straight. "That was the 1st arm, the left one is next. But before we do anything, let rest. I want to have a breather from that pain". Frosty took out so at from the bag and brought it to . I said "It's raw, I don't eat raw stuff…. I need to make fire". Frosty Shook its head and pointed at itself. I said "You want to make fire? Hmm, alright, I will teach you".

I continued "There are a few way to make a fire. I will show you the easier way. There is a flint in my bag. When you scrape it with tal, it will produce sparks. I also have so dried leaves and grass, that can be used to start the fire. You will also need so sticks or branches on top of the dried grass or leaves, in order for them to caught fire and sustain the burning process. Try it out, it's not that hard with that special flint".

Frosty nodded and took out all the things required to make fire. I then tried the flint and managed to create so sparks. After a few trials and errors, Frosty managed to light the fire by itself. I said "Good job! Who know, maybe I will teach you more things, like the Art of dicine. You can use your hands just like human can, although you have less fingers, so learning the Art of dicine, shouldn't be that difficult for you".

Frosty had mixed feeling about that. I said "You don't want to learn? I'm not forcing you, but imagine if we are in similar situation in the future. If you knew how to do all those things, you could treat without my instructions". Frosty thought about it and nodded its head.

I said "I'm not going to teach you everything, if you don't want. I can only teach you the necessary knowledge. For example, how to make dicine, or which herbs to collect. How to treat simple wounds or broken joints, stuff like that". Frosty then nodded again, it seed that it wanted to learn the basics only. 'The basics are good enough. If I happen to faint, Frosty will be able to start fire, make dicine or treat , in case of ergency' I thought.

I then taught Frosty, how to roast the at. While I was fed by Frosty, I explained so basics, about dicine making and treatnt. Of course, while my mouth wasn't full. With that, we rested for so ti and chatted, or rather I talked and Frosty listened, until I decided to go to sleep and rest properly. 'I need to sleep a bit, before Frosty attempts to repair my 2nd arm. I'm not a great fan of pain' I thought and closed my eyes.
