C13 Who is it?

In a split second, he drew me to him.

"Ahhh."

I tried but failed to keep myself stuck. The 9-foot nuckelavee grabbed me and stated, "I told you that you were destined to be like us. You must obey our lord. But you need to be punished because you're such a badass. "

He slammed me to the ground as he said. Damn it! I shut my eyes. I had a tingly feeling in my brain. Slowly, everything got murky and gloomy. After a time, I felt like I was dragging from there. I gradually opened my eyes and saw the monster's back.

I'm not sure where he's going to take me. What happened to my sword? Why isn't it heading my way? But then, out of nowhere, a figure sprang in front of me. That well-armed person first drew his sword and slashed the lengthy hand that had seized me. In my hazy vision, I saw them. Nuckelavee screamed so loudly this time, but I observed his sliced hand burn in a flash this time. and someone threw something at him. I could only hear that nuckelavee scream. Everything settled down after a bit. Slowly, I saw that the person with the mask knelt in front of me and peered at me. That person's eyes were clearly visible to me. It reminded me of something I'd seen before. I attempted to go to bed, but I was exhausted and weak. I'm not sure why. When I had a significant demon confrontation, my chest hurt, so why is it hurting now? I gradually closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, I was in Alex's house. I narrowed my eyes and took a glance around. I'm not sure what I'm doing here. I used my elbow to try to prop myself up. I was startled to hear Elizabeth's voice. As she rose from her chair, she muttered, "Maxilin." I murmured, "Elizabeth." "Maxilin, what happened to you?" she asked. "How did I end up here?" I said, lowering my gaze. I put my hand on my brow. "I don't know, I just woke up and found out you're unwell. I warned you not to open the window last night, but you didn't listen, "Elizabeth stated.

I rubbed my temples and tried to recall who the mask person was. "Who brought me here?" I thought. However, I was startled by the sound of the sliding door. Mr. Alex walked into the room. He appeared to be a bit pale. "Are you okay, Maxilin?" he asked, a gentle smile on his face. I nodded yes, although my head was still a little heavy. It's as if I had a lot of booze last night. "Mr. Alex, how did I end up here?" I asked, tapping my brow. Mr. Alex said, "We just found you in front of the door." "what? "Was I alone or was there someone with me? "I asked. Mr. Alex stated, "no, you were alone." "Maxilin, are you hurt anywhere?" "I'm sorry, boy, I simply got you into a mess," Mr. Alex apologized. "Mr. Alex, I went there to check what was going on. But I swear I'll kill him shortly, "I said. But then I asked, "Mr. Alex, where is my sword?" in a worried tone. He murmured softly. "There you have it. It's always been with you, " I swiftly approached the sword to see what was wrong with it. I put my hand on the sword. It was fine, but there was sand all over it.

Mr. Alex abruptly stated, "You should get some rest, Maxilin. I'll have someone bring some food over here. " I gave a little nod but didn't say anything. "Dad, I want to have my breakfast with Maxilin," Elizabeth stated unexpectedly. I took a glance at her. Mr. Alex responded with a smile, "Maxilin isn't feeling well, honey. We'll eat lunch together, no problem. " I smiled at Elizabeth as she stared at me with sympathetic eyes. I'm not sure how to deal with children. I'm terrible at it. But I'm still perplexed as to why this kid loves my acquaintance. Mr. Alex grabbed her up and carried her away. I noticed a touch of dissatisfaction on her face.

I sat on the bed with the sword.

What happened last night was out of the ordinary. There's something wrong with me and my weapon. because the discomfort in my chest isn't normal. When this happens, I know I won't be able to wake up for another two or three days. So, why am I waking up today with such ease and this heaviness?
