"What the hell..." John muttered
The ground was cracked, and there was a small pool of blood which had rged with the ice. John felt familiar with the spot and could nearly feel what had happened, but there was sothing stopping him. Sothing which he couldn't believe.
"Is it really possible to do sothing like this...?" John muttered as he crouched down.
John had seen many things before, he had learnt about the fundantals of this world precisely because of such, the scene which stood before his eyes caused him to question all that logic.
"There's mana in every living being, cell and organism in this world... And yet... I can't find an ounce of magic power in this blood, which is impossible. It hasn't even been that long..."
Even blood contained a flow of magic in it, there were even spells where one could control there blood, droplets from cough, rain from the sky. There was magic in all of these little things. John found that out himself as he grew older. But never had he seen sothing like this.
"Not an ounce of magic power... There's only one explanation for this. It was erased." Said John
John slowly dropped down to the ground before he hung his head. As he stared at the cold ice beneath him a smile was ford on his mouth, before he let it out.
"Hahaha... Hehe... Man... Whoever it was, they really got , huh..."
[…? Aren't you mad?] The spirit asked
John slowly raised his head and stared at the sky.
"Sure I'm mad but, at the sa ti, he didn't really kill or hurt anyone precious to . So next ti I'll just be more careful."
[…Crazy kid.]
"I know I am. Huh? Did I just get Deja-vu?" John asked as if suddenly noticing sothing
John then slowly got up before turning to the area where the carriage was.
"Ti to go back..." John muttered
Just as he said that, the sound of soone calling out to him ca from the exact direction he was looking at.
"John...!"
"Idiot!"
John easily recognised who it was from the voices, and he could also tell that they weren't too happy about it.
"...Should I just fly back to the carriage...?"
***
"Why did you try running away?" Serena asked as she stared at John who sat opposite to her on the carriage
Without saying anything, John looked away and Ariel also looked a bit disappointed remained quiet. Seeing this John ended up giving in and turned to the two
"I still ca back for you two."
"...After flying away." Ariel muttered
"Look, I was still a bit confused."
"Yeah, sure... Where's that confusion now?" Serena asked
"..."
Serena let out a sigh before looking over at Ariel. Seeing this, Ariel nodded and Serena and Serena nodded back.
"So? Any idea on who or what did this to you?" Serena asked before taking a seat
The sound of the carriage moving around them seed to fade as John's expression went from a relaxed and nervous one to a serious one.
"No. But whatever it was, it's best not to ss with it." Said John
"What exactly did it do to you? And are you sure it's okay to just leave it?" Ariel asked
"I'm not sure... All I know is that It might have taken my mories, the rest is a blur. Besides, that's lucky enough as it is..."
John slowly got up and the two watched as he stared out through the back of the carriage. He stared straight at the sky which was slowly darkening as the sun began to set.
"Yeah... It could have killed ."
[Dying... Dying a third ti would suck- Huh?]
Just as the thought ca up, John's eyes widened.
"What...?" John muttered as he stared up at the carriage ceiling
Serena and Ariel who saw that, got their guards up before looking up as well.
"Is there sothing outside?" Serena asked as she quickly began to look around
Ariel used wind and cast a search spell outside to see if she could notice what had surprised John
"..."
Without saying anything, John continued to stare at the ceiling.
"Oi! Is there sothing coming or not!?" Serena asked
"No... Sorry." John muttered before lowering his face as he placed his palms on it.
Despite Hearing this, the two girls kept their guards up.
"Look, John, instead of going all quiet, can you explain what you noticed?"
John quietly looked over at Serena and noticed the worried yet annoyed look on her face before muttering.
"I rembered sothing..."
[A third ti... Wasn't it just once... Why do I feel like, it's happened a second...? Don't tell ... It did happen and I forgot...?]
"What did you rember?" Lydia asked from the front of the carriage
She was listening in on the conversation along with Master Sylvia. Everyone seed worried with how John was acting.
Seeing this, John raised both hands before slamming them simultaneously on his face.
*CLAP!*
The slam connected so well that it ended up clearly waking John up. John's eyes seed to return to normal as he let out a sigh.
"Finally, I snapped out of it..."
"Snapped out...?" Ariel asked
John nodded before taking in a deep breath and letting it out.
[Yeah... Snapped out, I ended up realising sothing, but it wasn't clear enough.]
"Just the effects of losing my mory." Said John
"Just...?" Serena asked
"So... You're feeling better?" Ariel asked
The two still looked as confused as before.
"In a way... But still... For so reason, I'm starting to feel... a bit..."
Before John could finish, his vision got blurry and his strength seeped from his body, before his eyes closed.
He lost consciousness. Because of that, the carriage was forced to stop once more as they went to check up on John.
Worried that sothing might have happened, they were relieved to find out that John had only fainted and that it wasn't anything too serious.. Or so they assud.
