*Teleportation complete*
"Lilly are you okay" I asked as I held her in my arms.
"Yeah, I just need a little a rest." She said as she fell asleep. Her wounds started to heal as soon as she fell asleep.
What should I do now.
"Boy, you are still alive?!" I heard the old man Jack's voice.
"Well of course, how else am I standing here." I said a little irritated by the question.
"Do you want my help with her?" Jack said looking at Lillian.
"Please, sir" I said.
"Follow me, no one will see you" He said sighing, like a father does on a son's irresponsible mistake, he took me through a gap in the boundary of workshop which I had never seen before, "so are there any results of the training I gave you" Jack said looking at me.
"I guess" I don't know if he knows about the glowing sphere in my sanctuary.
"Good good, do you need any aid from me." He said.
"Can I get to you on that later" We were at my room.
"Yeah sure" Jack said going back.
I opened my room's door and Laid Lily on the bed and laid beside her, and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow, what a hectic day.
I woke up and saw Lilly still asleep but in a much better condition. I changed her clothes, and went to meet Susie. She maybe the only person trying to save me, at least I hope so.
"Hey" I said as I opened up the door to her room.
"You are safe, are- are you alright" susie said rushing into me.
"Yeah, I am fine, but how do you know about my assasination" I asked her.
"Well, It was a mission and I was the incharge of the people who accepted them so when Ava came to register, I knew it." She said going back a little.
"So, why didn't you tell me about it." I asked, a little upset on what happened.
"I couldn't, the rules of the workshop prohibited me from disclosing the recipients of the missions to outsiders, this was a new rule just added." Let's talk later right now I need to go see someone.
"Hey I will catch up with you later, I have to go right now" I said to her and left the room.
Why didn't I think of this before the workshop creator, he must be the one behind what happened with me at the dungeon, he should be working with that fucker, the king of this land. I went to the quarters of the creator.
"Excuse me sir, you don't have the authority or the permission to go in there." two gaurds said coming towards me.
"Ethereal attack form" I mumbled and my sword decapitated the guards, shredded through the steel door of the creator like cheese, "You, what have I ever done to you, why do you keep on making my life so hard."
"Ah, Mr.Zack, I was anticipating your visit after your return, clever move of hiding by the way, many people want your life right now." Creator said smiling.
"Why are you helping them kill me, I never did anything to you or these people, as far as I can remember." I said keeping my sword on his neck.
"Well, let's just say you are a remembrance of the past no one wants to remember." He said looking at my sword, "By the way, I don't want to kill you, It's just that I am really bored you know sitting around, i just wanted some entertainment, I was never going to let you get killed, I always kept an eye on you, for that matter, what do you think that holochrome is, It's a modified video transmitter, I told Jack to give to you."
"Then, why do you people keep trying to kill me." I asked.
"That's for you to find out, but here you go, this is for you as my apology" he said giving me a wand, "You will get one manual of Spear arts the usual way", he said winking at me.
"What is this."
"You are the first place in the second part of the training, and this is you reward." He said.
"But the training isn't over yet?" I asked.
"You know the missions combined on that mission board are about 4000 points, the missions remaining on that board are about a 100 points, so if someone was to complete even three mission that too the hard ones, then they will reach second, so congratulations." And he turned around.
"Okay" I said leaving the room. I went to my room, Lily was still asleep. I went and gently waved my hand through her blue hair. "Wake up, You look like a human if you sleep that long"
"Hmmmm....Hey, how long was I asleep for." she asked laying on my laps.
"A day" I said smiling.
"I see, just let me sleep here some more, It's so lonely when i am in your consciousness." she said closing her eyes.
"Yeah sure take your time" I felt a wave of happiness and remorse when she said those words, suddenly I was in the sanctuary where I saw a dragon figure in the dark.
"Come and meet me, that void in your consciousness isn't there by itself you know." it said and left.
I came back and Lily went outside to get some fresh air. Then I remembered, the favor from Jack. I texted him and asked for something.
"So, how are you going to do it, take part in the trials of hell" Lily said coming inside.
"That's where the favor from him comes in" I pointed as door opened to reveal Jack and three other people.
