chapter 21: what is trill?

"what have I done" said Herman as he finally regained his sense of self and saw Curt beaten black and blue into an unconscious state. Herman immediately checked for a pulse and sighed in relief as he felt a pulse.

To ensure that Curt received the best of care Herman made a call to Cruz and Enoch as he had kept in contact with them to learn about the rules of society and as a safety contingency in dire times, so he called it his panic button.

not wasting time as soon as it was within his hand Herman made a call to Cruz and Enoch.

(Somewhere within the woods that Herman was found, a shriveled body stood within bonds similar to the ones that held Herman bound, as a condensed cloud of life energy festered about the body as it slowly regained some of it vigor, with a croaked voice that became smoother the longer it went on

"aaahha"

"aaaahhh"

"aaahhhhhhhaaaaa"

" hugh, it exhaled as it now retained a humanoid figure, I have returned at long last."

in it's daze its sense of self it was suddenly overwhelmed by trill, as it aura rose wildly overwhelming trill ravaged it body so violently that it body kept shivering as a question kept resounding in its mind " what is trill! ?".

" what is trill! ?, said the now human body parched creature, it seems the universe has made two visages of me.

" I have a brother, and brother will have me, I can't wait to kill him, and become one,

" hum humm hummm hum huun humm ha hhhha haaaa haaa."

"let the hunt begin, brother, my twin, confidont the other half of me, cause here I come.

Let the hunt, begin"

said the monster as it now had the appearance of Herman in a ragged and dirty state as it kept emitting violent bloodlust and the trill it is experiencing

" I've have some guests, said the being as it could sense the creatures that wanted to take the risk of hunting it while it was weak, "I guess I can always have a massacre before the hunt,"

"very well then, let the mayhem begin" ).

Elsewhere in a hospital, ran a group of healthcare workers as they moved a largely built body on a transparent body that kept the body levitating without the slightest form of discomfort due to movement.

in the waiting room stood Herman as he was soon joined by Cruz, Enoch and colonel vince as they entered together, shortly after getting briefed on the full occurance that took place within Herman training that led to this event.

They were just surprised that Curt although being a B rank personal that Herman took him down without the aid of empowered weapon to increase his strength.

Shortly, after the debriefing, colonel vince took them along to get the status of Curts health.

The good news was that Curt had not really been damaged seriously, but just fainted due to the powerful blows to the head, but to ensure that there was no unnoticed damage incurred the hospital decided to keep Curt for two days, during which Herman stayed with him, Cruz and Enoch visited, and as for the colonel he stayed out of their affairs unless necessary.

During the days spent in the hospital Herman went about doing some jobs for the hospital as he was already familiar with doctors and patient as they could already sense the refreshing energy his presence brought, but even at that Herman kept experimenting to discover what it was that humanity possessed that was vital to the other races survival. to aid in this persute the doctors answered Herman questions to the best of their abilities with theories being subject to it being most likely a blessing humanity must had received at an early state after their creation or a pseudo link to the realm of the gods, where they believe humanity was made.

but all in all, Herman just took their theorys, fables and stories with a grain of salt, believing that even if there is Truth in their word there will probably be some exaration.

As soon as Curt was discharged from the hospital, he refused to spend another minute and ran out.

Herman thanked the health workers there and bid them farewell.

on the way back to Herman residence, Curt reminded him about the deal, they had before the fight, and took him over to the barbarian region which happened to close by.

After arriving there, Curt introduce Herman to most of his kinsmen that before slipping away to talk with their elder and tribe leader.

After waiting for some time as a guest, Herman was being entertained when Curt returned with a group of elders that carried the presence of authority.

with the presence of the elders came silence from the barbarian present as Herman could tell that they were the leaders due to power their presence carried.

" A good day, young man" said the elder in the front, we've heard of your deed and admirable strength you easily attained within a months worth of training and believe you would indeed be a worthy carrier of a barbarian name but rather we would be honoured if you prove to us in the face of this gathering that you are indeed capable like we heard of and not some trickery, to deceive our kin."

said the elder as his aura shot up showing how displeased he would be with Herman .

"what do I have to do to prove my strength" asked Herman.

seeing the response of the young man the elders smirk.

" Battling our most gifted younglin".
