Part Two - New World - Chapter [052]

Arslan bursted into the room with great haste, he kicked the door creating a big ruckus and scaring everyone inside. Aiden in his hands. 

"The shepard?!" Jaunted one of the doctors inside the room. 

"Is he hurt, hurry bring him quickly!" Another shouted from deeper inside the room. 

Arslan did as he was told and moved Aiden to a resting table they happen to have open for walk-in's. 

The doctor wore a blue robe that indicated he was part of the wolf's guild. He started investigating, doing his usual routine he had with patients. 

Then he was done. 

His face grim.

"His soul is already in The First Sphere," said the doctor weighing his head down, almost like he was apologizing. 

Arslan was intimidating and scary after all. 

"I - I don't understand," Arslan blurted out. 

"Worry not - there's a quick way to bring the Shepard back," the doctor mentioned. "He's not dead after all."

Arslan regained his hope in his eyes. 

"And what's that doc?" 

"We can use a mana stone, restore 1/3 of his mana and bring his soul back - after that, his mana should return normally." The doctor quipped.

"Okay - all right - let's do that!" Arslan said like it was no big deal. 

"They're incredibly expensive," said the doctor. 

"How much, is the mana stone, I've heard about them, never actually seen one," 

The doctor whispered the sum to Arslan.

Arslan' a face - turned dark.

Even though he considered it for a moment - finally he begrudging agreed.

"I'll run some favors - get the larc's," Arslan said almost to himself. The doctor nodded in agreement. And so the doctor did what he must. He walked to the back, only to retrieve a canister. It was like it was pressured sealed. The doctor unsecured the cap, and hiss and steam came out of this device. 

Using the screw to take out the stone - the doctor pulled out a shiny iridescent stone. Carved out of mana itself - this tone held enough power to revive any souls that had gone into The First Sphere. 

It's true name Sorrow of Phoenix. 

Because the only way to make a one hundred percent true mana stone was to grab one from a Phoenix as it was using it before it can revive. 

Phoenix have a mana stone inside their bodies which develops and grows as they mature in eon's.

Phoenix can live for thousands of years.

So the doctor placed the stone next to Aiden's head, and a magic circle spread out below him. 

"It's working!" Said the doctor. 

"It won't be long now - just an hour or two," said the doctor. 

"All right doc - I'll run some errands around town in the meantime." 

"Huh?! Wait!" The doctor stopped Arslan in his tracks. 

"Where will you go? The miasma has run out all the shops from the streets, everyone has already fled - that monster still lurks underground!" He explained. 

"I know - I'm - me and the Shepard - we'll take care of it," Arslan said and stood up completely. 

"So where are you going?" exclaimed the doctor. 

"The person I'm going to see - doesn't run by common rules - and is neither scared of a miasma ruining his business," Arslan continued.

"A little won't scare me off, besides," Arslan reached for his pocket. 

"I have the charm he made me, It's bound to come useful," Arslan pulled a little red charm from his pocket. Where it had been all this time. 

The doctor actually gave a gasp of shriek, upon seeing the charm. Like he was taken aback by the craftsmanship. Arslan knew it meant something good. 

With that Arslan walked out the clinic.

"You have a good warrior Shepard," said the Doctor to Aiden's still body.
