Chapter 9:Recovery

five days already passed and Ray has awake from his one week of sleep,

as he awake he look out the window and stare at the sky he wonder how many days did he asleep.

He can't remember what happened to him, the last thing that remember was he enjoyed the holiday with his friends. "Kid, you're awake that's good" hearing that from the voice inside his head he become curious about what happened to him.

"Do you know what happened to me I can't remember well" the voice start to explain everything to him and his friends, suprisingly he didn't shock or doubt everything that the voice told him.

As they continue their conversation, a nurse come to his room "oh you're awake how do you feel?" "I'm fine but can I leave now?" "no you not, you just awake you must here until the doctor decide when can discharge."

Ray nod and the nurse start to tell him how worried his father when he was hospitalized "your father was worried he always come here waiting for you to awake but we told him that we will inform him when you're awake."

Tears drop from Ray's eye he once again, make his father cry he didn't want to make his father cry but it couldn't be help he was weak and he can't even protect his friends.

The nurse struck Ray's hair and hug him until Ray fall asleep, the nurse then leave to let Ray rest he must mentally tired that was she thought.

"Where am I? what is this place" Ray awake on the weird place it was dark he barely see anything but he keep walking and walking until he see a light it was small.

He keep running and running, until he reaach the light. He stop for a minute catch his breath but then when he look at the light, he saw a figure of a woman, his instinct tell him that this woman is his mother.

It can't be help his lips start to move, "mother?" out of nowhere. The figure start to look back to see who is calling her.

The figure eye start to widen but she then close her eye and her lips start to move "who are you, are you lost?" the words that come from the figure mouth, "I'm Ray son of Julius."

Once again the figure eye widen she can't believe that this kid is her son, her start to struck Ray's hair her tears slowly drop "Ray you have grown well, I'm sorry Ray for leaving you" "it's okay mother I glad to see you here."

"But Ray don't you ever try to find me" "I'm sorry but I will decline your request mother I promised to father that I will find you no matter where you are, I don't care how many years it will take" Ray words are so determind his mother can't help but just accept it.

"Alright son if that is your wish, all I can do is pray for your safety but I will warn you once again there is a creature you must avoid at all cost"

"what is it mother?"

"Demon, I bet you never heard about demon right?, you should avoid them at all cost because they are str-"

before she even finished her sentence Ray cut it "I don't care mother if they get in my way I will crush them all including their king."

"Well then I wish you luck" she dissapear and Ray opened his eye, he look around the room and after a while he realise that it was a dream but he feel happy he smile because he finally meet his mother although it was a dream.

A door suddenly open, it was Rays's father, "Ray!" he shout and run towards Ray after he reached Ray he hug him "I'm glad you're okay son."

This scene also make the nurse shed tears, "ehem I'm sorry to interupt you two but I come here to check on Ray condition"

"Oh my bad alright go on" Ray's father excuse himself after a while the doctor finally done checking on Ray condition.

"Hm I see there is no problem so you may dischage now" the look on their face change after hearing that.

"Come on Zed we need to hurry, it's been a while we should visit Ray more often."

"I know just run fool"

it looks like Ryo and Zed want to visit Ray but they didn't know Ray is being discharge today, they keep running until they reach the hospital. But upon reaching the hospital their eye widen.

They saw Ray are on his way to the exit door, "oi Ray!" Zed shout at Ray and he respond by waving his hand and their rush towards Ray. Upon reaching they both hug Ray "Ray we really sorry because of us you got hurt"

" Nah it was me because I'm too weak by the way I can go home and maybe in a few days I can go back to academy, I really miss you guys."

"So Ray do you mind if we accompany you?"

"it is okay with you guys?"

"okay then let's go"

"Guys, actually I have to tell you something"

"Go ahead" Ryo reply

"So I met my mother in my dream he said something about demon did you guys know anything about that?"

"I never heard about them, no one has ever talk about them I also wonder why they didn't tell about demon" Zed finally speak.

"My mother told me to stay away from them I think they are really strong"

His father suddenly come from the kitchen brining some drinks for their guest,

"So you know about the demon, your mother was right you should stay away from them, the reason why I stop searching for your mother is the demon I got hurt by a demon, they are strong I barely escape if I was late maybe I no longer alive right now."

Hearing that make Ray's blood boiled why the demon hurt his father he wonder and finally he calm a bit, "Father I already promised you right? anyone that gets in my way will got crush."

"Ray do you mind if I tag along you?" a suddden request from Ryo

"Me too do you mind?"

"I don't mind the more the merrier right? haha"

But suddenly, someone knocking the door, Ray's father excuse himself to see who is coming. He open the door and saw a figure
