As I laid unconcious on the ground, Nail hid a few meters away from me, his body seemed to start to form out of the darkness of the cave, Nail seemed slightly tired, he streched out as he started acting. Firstly, he got down as he grabbed out of the haversack, that same mirror which was able to store the corpses of those torneds I killed, getting up from his knees, he walked straight forward towards the body of that "ant" with a flick, the body of the torned dissapeared, afterwards, he turned to his right, looking at the body of the beetle, which was surprisingly still alive, his legs still twiching while it moved it's head towards Nail, who was standing just infront of it. He then brought out of his waist a scabbard and from it, he took out a sword, to be precise it was a khopesh, it had a beautiful golden color, with inscriptions on the handle of the sword.
With a quick downwards slash, Nail cut off the beetle's head, it's head fell to the ground as blood spilled through, the ground, with the same wrist flick, the body dissapeard too. Once finished, he took a sigh as he cleaned the blood of his sword usnig his own sleeve.
Standing up, he walked towards my body, firstly, he grabbed the already torned up hoodie nad stuck them inside the haversack, he took the haversack and finallygrabbed my body and started carrying me on his back, but, he still had things to do things inside the cave, he still had to check the path which I found the "darkness," walking out the cave, the body of Nail turned slightly transparent, and in just a few seconds, Nail appeared just in the exit of the town. He walked past of the different shops and hosuses, passing through the Mother mirror and leaving the reflection. Passing through the streets of Cerin, Nail found himself in the hospital, leaving me there, soon enough, Nail grabbed his own phone and made a call
"Gregor?" Nail asked as he spoke through the phone his tone calm, but his face seemingly nervous.
"Mhm, It has been a while, Nail." Gregor answered on the other end of the line, as he, in home was sitting in the sofa. "If you're calling then it has to be important, I'd guess.
"Yes, your son, Mergo, We went on a trip, we found a cave which had around 4 torneds that we detected. Mergo has surprisingly ended all four them with low to none damage, just a simple cut on the chest."
"I see, but why are you even telling me this? Me and the kid aren't really that close." He answered with genuiene curiosity on his voice.
"I know, but even tho he didn't suffer too much damage, I took him to the hospital cause after killing the last one, he passed out, and I don't really have you'r wifes phone number or the number of Gaia, so if you could tell them to pick him up once they finished taking care for him would be great ."
A low sigh was hearable from Gregor's line.
"Alright, I'll tell Kora, she's better when its coming to taking care of the kids than me."
Nail nodded as he breathed out.
"Alright then, It's the room number 305, I have things to do so I'll be on my way."
The call ended, the mood between them still lingered in the air, Nail felt very uncomfortable, but there wasn't much he could do, the friendship them ended a long time ago, with a sigh, he left the room, heading to an alley, in there he made sure no one was watching and once he was sure, his body started turning of that same transparent way, as he appeared on a completely different place, even the air felt slightly different, the whole place felt as if he had entered a whole new bioma, and indeed he did, standing infront of him was a huge camping outpost, the general color of the different camping tents were green, some of them had a picture of a hare running as a mark on some of this tents the same logo he had as the form of a wristband made of iron with that same hare.
As Nail walked through the camp, looks fell under his back, he could hear how whispers started to form from those who he calls "comrades" some of them just talked about his appearance, some others just glanced at him, others just spoke about weird rumors he had. He tried as hard as he could to ignore all this attention he was recieving, as he kept walking towards the main tent which was much bigger than all the other ones around it.
As Nail came in, he found himself on a tent which was as big or even bigger than what his own living room is, the room had a dark green color, it was surprisingly very well lighten, with different flashlights arr around it and having a large darkwookd desk in the middle of it, also, it has different "rooms" much smaller for different actions.
From one of the rooms on his right side, A gorgeous woman came out of it, her hair of a light brown color but kept on a ponnytail which it was curiously of a grey color, his eyes with the same color or even of a lighter color, she was wearing the uniform of the hairs, with that same wristband that she had, but at the same time she had a ton of more details around her clothes, anyone would say that the woman looked on his mid twenties. Her left hand missed it's index finger.
The woman looked at Nail, raising one of her eyebrows.
"Nail?" she asked, with a surprised tone of voice
"Didn't you say you'd be busy for an indefinent amount of time?"
Nail sighed seemingly trying to avoid the woman's gaze.
"I indeed said so, captain, but surprisingly while walking through the outskirts of Cerin's Mirror town, I've found an abnormal accumulation of darkness inside a cave."
