After a few days of travel, Zaos learned that the captain was called Vamir. Vamir and his n were pretty crazy and noisy. He would punch one of his crew whenever sothing wrong happened, and his punches were heavy enough to knock down an adult man. His crew was no different. When soone annoyed them, they would start a fight. Still, they were sane enough not to draw their weapons. Besides, they had their own set of rules for a rough bunch. Don't attack a fallen opponent, and if you fall and don't get up in ten seconds. The other will be the winner of the argunt and fight. So, the loser has to shut up and obey the winner for a while.
Thanks to all that shit, Zaos spent most of his ti with Aleni and Milliendra in the cabin they had. Fortunately, Milliendra was a calm kid, and she only cried due to the usual colic, poop, and other physical necessities. At that point in ti, Zaos already got used to cleaning her when necessary. Still… It was a lot of work.
"My apologies for leaving all of this to you," Aleni said.
"No problem," Zaos said. "That being said, you should co to realize that you are soone to whom Aria entrusted her daughter to. You don't have to be afraid of touching her. Until very recently, you didn't have full control over your choices, but things are different now. Besides, I killed far more people than you."
"Wars are different than assassinations," Aleni said.
"I suppose so… Still, the result was the sa," Zaos said.
Zaos sighed in relief when Milliendra stopped crying since she was clean again. Soon after, she also fell asleep. Now he finally could return to his studies of the magic book. However, sothing caught his attention… his left arm suddenly fell asleep and then quickly returned to normal.
"How odd…" Zaos frowned.

Thanks to the recent battles and magic studies and training, Zaos managed to progress a little bit in terms of power. He was probably strong enough since he managed to take down the entire royal guard and Drannor so fast. Still, Zaos wasn't satisfied. Now that he knew that Milliendra would be tornted by the demon god, he felt the urge to beco even stronger and knowledgeable. The question was: could he obtain that strength and knowledge while he makes sure that Milliendra will have a normal life? Could he deal with the curse of the demon god and obtain more power at the sa ti?
"Thinking about all this is a waste of ti…" Zaos thought. "I just have to do it, no matter what."
During the next few days, the trip was pretty tranquil. Zaos had imagined that they would deal with so strong storms considering his luck, but that never happened. So, he used all those peaceful monts to study the magic book. He made a list with all spells he could learn in there, and while so were weird, like Evil Eyes and Sleep, he didn't find a single one that apparently would help Milliendra.
"I knew it wouldn't be easy… after all. This is the knowledge the demon gods gave to his followers," Zaos rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
That being said, Zaos found the spells that he had discovered a few years prior. So, he wondered if it was possible to truly create others. That being said, considering the nature of the problem he wanted to solve, he would need a lot more knowledge regarding the ancient language to pull that off. Zaos would need to study like never before…
"Again…" Zaos frowned while looking at his left arm.
Several days had passed, and Zaos' left arm grew asleep and then suddenly returned to normal. He couldn't say that he wasn't a true healer. Still, he had so knowledge about it thanks to the book he studied about herbs, and he didn't find any ntion of herbs that could cure what seed to be that symptom.
Considering the life Zaos had lived thus far, it was a miracle made by magic that he didn't lose the movents of a single limb. Still, it has been a while since he got wounded for real… was that an after-effect of a life where he had to fight so much and get beaten down in the process? Or was it…
"An effect of the constant draining of mana?" Zaos thought.
Zaos imagined that he would have to fight many tis in that situation, so he was always carrying Milliendra on his left arm. At the sa ti, he held Guardian's Heart with his right hand. So, considering that only the left arm was having its mana drained… it made sense.
"Shit… this is worse than I thought," Zaos thought.
If things continue at that rate, it wouldn't be weird if Zaos loses the movent of his left arm, and while he could live with that, it wasn't the real problem. At that rate, Milliendra's power will grow so powerful that it wouldn't be weird if, by accident, soone dies of lack of mana by touching her for a single second. When Zaos used Appraisal on her, he confird that her growth would be like no other…
