The Figure in Flames did THIS!

"Ahh" A piercing scream filled the air as Jason jumped to his feet.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, my precious hands! That fucker destroyed my precious hands!"

He hadn't looked at his hands yet so he just assumed that he had lost it.

"My-- my-- I can't feel my hand- "Jason was about to scream once more when he slowly looked down and realised that his hands had magically appeared back.

He took a moment to absolve his shock before screaming once again in joy as he realised that his hand was restored and it was not his imagination.

"Wait I can't feel any pain in my body although I was injured quite a number of times!"

After taking another moment to calm down just studied his surroundings, "Logan?" he muttered as he saw a golden-haired figure beside another figure that was clothed in black.

"Shit, Logan bro don't tell me you were killed by him! You know you're not as handsome as me and yet you came to fight!" Jason said as he got down to check if Logan was breathing.

'Hah,' he breathed out in relief seeing Logan was breathing and was without injuries.

But Logan was only breathing faintly and he wondered what Logan had done to be this weak.

He slowly got up to check if the black clothes man was dead.

Kick!

Although he had bent to check if Logan was breathing he could not do that to the black-clothed man because he was scared of the man suddenly attacking him.

He kicked him the first time but the man did not move, he kicked once again and heard a groan escape the mouth of the man.

"Shit!" Jason jumped back slightly seeing the man move.

But after some moments there was no movement from the man. After thinking it through Jason decided to approach him again.

Kick!

Kick!

After kicking him a couple of times the man had woken up. But he woke up to discover that he had been tied.

A young man was in front of him as his black hair cascaded down his face blocking his eyes.

"Let me go!" The black-clothed man struggled.

"Hehe," Jason chuckled.

"I'll be the one doing the talking and asking the questions here!" Jason said as he put up the demeanour of an investigator.

"So is Annabelle the only reason you came to kill us? My handsome self especially!"

"Yes! But it was supposed to be just Logan, you were not part of the plan. " the man replied gritting his teeth as he realised that struggling was futile. Jason seemed to have done a great job tying him up.

"Are you calling a handsome man like me a side character?" Jason asked as he slightly parted his hair that showcase more of his handsomeness.

"No I way just sayin-"

"You were saying what? You know what? Forget it! An ugly creature can never comprehend what it means to be handsome." Jason ha taken the moment he was tying up the man to pull out his mask and he had discovered that the man's face was nothing to write home about, the were even multiple scars on it, it in fact made him feel disgusted that he had to put the mask back on for the black-clothed figure.

"Third question!" Jason turned to look at the golden-haired figure a few feet behind him as he brought his hand and pointed at Logan.

"What did you do to him? Why is he not waking up no matter how many times I hit him?" Jason asked the real question that had been bugging him.

After tying up the man he went to wake Logan so they could find a way to head out of the forest but he discovered that Logan was not waking up no matter how hard he tried. Not even a groan escaped from his lips. He was just there like someone in comatose.

He was shocked and the only thing he could do was ask the man whom he thought to be the cause.

"I didn't do anything!" the man said as a look of doubt flashed in his eyes

'Could that kid be the figure in flames? No, he can't be! I've read all about him he possesses no affinity with the essence of nature! But I could not find anything about his background! I should just keep up the pretence as I regain my strength'

"I'm serious I know nothing of what happened to him"

Jason bent slightly as his hand rested on his chin, his dark hair still blocking his eyes as he seemed to be thinking about something.

After some moments of silence, he finally spoke" I suppose you know the way back? "

The man looked at him for a moment before slowly nodding his head.

"Great! It seems we'll be heading back to the faction." Jason said standing up as he turned to pick up Logan, carrying him on his shoulder. "I suppose you can crawl your way out of here. Now lead us!"

***

A young man tied in grey ropes could be seen crawling, and another man could be seen behind him with a figure on his shoulder left shoulder, he held one of his dual swords in his hand as the other was hung onto the black strap on his back.

'Something is wrong with my body!'

'Why can't I absorb the essence of nature?'

'I've been trying since to absorb it so I could launch an attack on them, but to no avail, it's like it does not exist before me!'

These were the thoughts of the man in black as he was crawling, he had tried so hard lots of times after he woke up but discovered he could not absolve the essence of nature he could not even sense it within himself.

'Can I also not cast an elemental skill?' even without an element I should be able to put a strain on my body and see if I can cast a skill.

"Hah! dark swamp! " he muttered some words as he tried casting a skill.

"What?" the man discovered he could not cast even a skill although he put so much strain on his body, he decided to try again but all that came out from him was a mouthful of blood that slowly trickled down his lips as he struggled not to vomit it.

"THE FIGURE IN FLAMES!!!" He suddenly said out loud.

"Huh, what's that? Figure in flames? Is that some sort of god? Hey dude are you crazy?" Jason asked a barrage of questions as he heard the man suddenly scream in anger.

"The figure in flames did this to me! He took away my affinity with the essence of nature, but, but, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???!!!" The man once again screamed erratically.

"Dude shut the fuck up!"
