The next day, as soon as Aisling woke up, she tries to use beast sense, but the system told her "I cannot use it in this form." Dinged in her head.
Luckily, she figured out she could use her magic skills, and she could use her skill beast eyes.
"Status window." "The window's color is darker?" Aisling asks.
Information Loading….
She cocks her head as the system stopped loading.
Name: Aisling (ASH)
Status: Healing
Race: Chimera (half-breed)
Skills: Beast eyes, Mana net, earth magic, stealth, etc.
Mana Pool: Medium, (can evolve).
"This new." "Mana pool?" Aisling asks.
A knock is heard, and the system window disappears again.
"Hey little missy How's that throat doin'? He says closing the door behind him with Gerald in toe.
Aisling feels her face scrunch, "This guy." She tries not to say it.
"Bet.ter." Aisling replies.
"I thought I wasn't supposed to talk!" Aisling thought trying not to say it.
"That's great!" Conri says going through his pouches.
Aisling gets off the bed to sit on a chair nearby keeping an eye on Conri.
"Aw I guess I left it back at my place." Conri said.
"Do you want me to get it?" Gerard asks.
Aisling gets up and pulls on Gerard's clothes.
"What is it, Ash?" Gerard asks looking down at Aisling.
Aisling points at herself and makes walks towards the door.
"She needs to go to the bathroom?" Conri asks, resting his hand on his chin and cocking his head.
Aisling stomps her foot as tries not to say "No, you idiot!"
Gerard chimes in "I think she wants to see the village."
"Alright missy, let's go." Conri says.
"I'm… not… a. kid!" Aisling hisses and glares at Conri.
"Okay, Ash." "Better?" Conri replies.
Gerard chuckles quietly in the background.
"Yes." She replies raspy.
"You stayed out of the doghouse Conri." Gerard says jokingly.
"Shush you." Conri replied jokingly.
Both Conri and Gerard let Aisling go before them but kept an eye on her as she walked through the door.
Aisling steps through the door greeted by many different smells, sounds, and sights. At first, she stopped in front of the house on account of being overwhelmed by the new senses and realizing her own new senses she couldn't use before in her Chimera form.
Conri went to calm Alsing, but he saw that she started to take matters into her own hands and stopped.
"Concentrate and breathe." She repeated it in her head a couple of times before she calmed down.
"Alright, first stop my house." says Conri cheerfully.
Everyone stepped towards the dirt road, it was loud and bustling, seeing what Aisling could only think of animal hybrids, with some humans in the village. Both species weren't completely buddy, buddy but not at each other's throats. You still feel somewhat of the tension in the air, when Conri suddenly announced "We're here!"
Looking up at Conri's place, she sees a small worn wooden house, with a small patch of grass next to a little shed like building.
"Stay out here, I'll be back in a minute." Conri says with Gerard following him into the house.
Aisling did as she was told but not without thinking "Yeah, just leave me out here alone, to maybe get kidnapped!"
Just then she felt a presence behind her as she turned around claws ready, she thought "I just jinxed myself!"
"Whoa!" The female voice said as a cloaked figure grabs Aisling's arms.
"OW." "Who...are...you?" Aisling asks her as she is trying to break free from the other girl's grip.
" I could ask you the same. The female replied as two cat-like ears revealed themselves as the girl's hood came down.
"Black cat-ears?" Aisling thought still trying to break free.
Aisling and the girl hear a door open.
"Roya!?" Gerard and Conri voices said.
Roya's grip loosens on Aisling's arms and Aisling takes this chance to stomp on Roya's foot, and smack Roya in the face with her left hand.
"Oow-uch." Roya says flinching a bit from the hits.
Aisling turns around to see Gerard in front of Roya and Conri in front of her.
"Enough! Jeez." Gerard said.
"Let me guess, you thought Ash here was going to rob me and Ash here thought she was being kidnapped?" Conri says guessing correctly.
"Yeah, pretty much." Roya replied.
"Can he read minds or is he that smart?" Aisling thought.
"Anyway, Ash this is Roya, she patrols the village." Gerard explains.
Roya's black cat-like ears perk up, as a smile plasters itself on her face, and her golden eyes start to glow from the mention of her job.
"Ahem, didn't you forget something?" Gerard said interrupting Roya's focus.
"Crap. That's today!" "See ya, Conri we'll catch up later!" Roya said as she put her hood over her head and dashed towards the crowd before anyone could reply to her.
"Geez that girl, anyway Gerard what were you saying?" Conri said exhaustedly.
"The item you came for." Gerard said pointing to Conri's pockets.
"Oh right." Conri says going through his pockets. "This is for you." Conri continues as he takes a small gem out of one of his pockets.
The small gem is clear, but it reflects no light.
"Here Ash, this stone will bring out any other impurities you have in your body left over from the poisoning." Conri explains.
Aisling tilts her head in confusion.
"The way you were poisoned, I won't be surprised if you don't have remaining impurities, which can restrict your mana. If not treated you could develop mana poisoning, that can lead to your death." Conri continues.
"Why…not…more…medicine…or. Magic?" Aisling asks.
Conri sighs "Medicine can only do so much it can heal your throat but not remove the impurities from your mana. My magic one the other hand can only be used for examining my patients, not for healing."
"How are you a doctor than?!" Aisling struggles to hold it, but it slips out.
Conri's face contorts into a frown.
"Crap I've said something I shouldn't have…" Aisling thought holding her words in.
Gerard steps in "He doesn't have the license or the healing magic." "They wouldn't let him not in a place like this."
"Criminals...?" Aisling asks.
"Yes, either for minor crimes or for being born they out us out here with the magical beasts hoping we d—
"Enough Gerard, I think she gets it!" Conri says holding his hand over his friend's mouth.
"That's inhumane…" Aisling thought.
Changing the subject Conri says "After the stone turns a dark red, almost the color of blood, rap it in a cloth and bring it to me, understand." "DO NOT FORGET."
"Explode?"
"No, it can go into the surrounding and cause other people and animals to get sick." Conri says breaking into a grin.
"Alright, that's enough for today let's get you back to the clinic." Gerard says grabbing Aisling's and Conri's wrists.
Gerard drags them back to clinic where Aisling takes the medicine and falls asleep.
Conri and Gerard step out of the clinic. The suns begin to set, both were silent, but Gerard turns toward Conri with a look of sadness.
"That was out line, telling some else your story. I'm sorry." Gerard said turning away from Conri.
"She would have found out eventually." Conri replied bitterly.
