Fox encounters

Feb 17

This master have been alone for so long here, I'm happy to receive you all. Take this as your own home. You can roam anywhere you want, just avoid the cliff if you can. I'll look at your friend and determine what I can do to help" A gentle calm smile graced his amber skin...

Saying so he moved to this frozen boy, and touched his temple. He let out a slight force to examine his pressure point. It really was very unfortunate... He looked at the absent hand and patted the shoulder... Broken nerves. What happened to this child... His body was fairly human, but he had a resident soul in him. He should have been able to defend himself fairly well...
He looked at the sky... The sun was above the head, not a suitable time to heal him...

Soft humming sound resonated in the cave, the master smiled. He sealed the boys nerves together, but couldn't exert life force at this time... They need to wait till morning.

"Child, your friend is safe for now, but he can only wake up when the Sun god bless him with his positive force first thing in the morning. This master is not capable enough to heal him without the energy's help..."

"Yes, he will. This home of mine is build on a land filled with resentment. I've been staying here for a thousand years, healing it bit by bit. If the boy stays here, he'll heal soon enough. Don't worry child, he'll be better."

Gideon looked at the crooked style of bird's walking.. he was annoyed now "Can't you walk properly? What's this stumbling here and there.. I won't catch you if you fall.."

Gideon looked towards the cliff the bird was pointing and ran to catch her "Don't-"
His voice was too nervous
"That is the only place anyone is not allowed here. If you go there you'd die for sure..."

Master : "Everywhere is safe in this place, except as I said earlier, the cliff. There are a lot of ancient souls filled with resentment lying there. It won't be good if someone go there. I hope you can enjoy your stay here," He joined his hands, "But stay away from the cliff my child."

"What are you doing you stupid brat..." He pulled at the bird hard trying to get her away from the cliff

Masted prepared plant milk with turmeric and grinded pepper and other herbs, he boiled the milk and took it to feed the boy to warm up his body... Internal heat will help the child.

Gideon picked her up(princess carryhehe ) and brought her back towards the cave..

Master sensed the disturbance around the cliff.. he put down the bowl on the platform. Children... You tell them not do something, and they exactly that. He smiled a bit remembering the chaos Gideon always brought as a child... He concentrated the air and shoot it like a rope... Barring the resentment from rising up in the cliff but didn't get up to go and see.

Gideon had seen LingFu and Liqin deal with this crazy Birdy... He hauled her up on his shoulder and started walking again when he saw Liqin and MingXia

GDL: "Shhh don't make noise, master will know I messed up!"

Master saw the resentment rising thick in the boy... Is he a reservoir? He placed his hands at the boys heart, sensing the beat.

This boy is not a normal creation. The soul inside is consuming him... It's already a miracle that a human boy can handle this much resentment... He needs quick recovery...

"Fuck! Shut up.. " He reacted to everyone staring at the cave and dumped the bird on liqin "Hold her I'm gonna go to Master"

The energy subsided back inside the boy, by the time Gideon reached he was very much shocked to see master sitting by the boy, his hands on the chest examining him... He walked up and hug his master, "Master! I'm sorry to trouble you like this. I'll throw-" He shut up when his master turned to look at him... His voice choked up...

"I'm only helping them Gideon. You chose this so I'm helping them. Will you rather not do this? I'm honouring your choice... Don't you want this?"

Gideon glared at MingXia, if he could just use his powers now he'd have killed her right now....

"Yes my child, I am really sorry to not have checked properly. I never expected him to have such a strong adherence to resentment." He patted Gideon's hands to let him go and joined his hands bowing to the Moon spirit
"Let this humble one try his best to heal your friend."

The master didn't know how to answer that... Do they know about this child?
"This child is just affected by the resentment present here... I'm very sorry I didn't considered it before... But he'll be okay now..."
His hands still joined in namaskar and he was still bowing

Gideon stomped his foot and dashed out of the cave. His master doesn't allow violence due to anger and hatred. Right now he only had anger and hate. Anger at those people he agreed to help without any reason or sense, and hatred fir himself. His master bowing and apologizing like that!! He had never seen such a sorry state...

"Thank you for your understanding child..."
master looked at the retreating back of Gideon. His face had a smile. He turned to the boy and locked his body in concentrated air chamber filled with positive energy he took out of himself. He then bowed again to the spirit
"No, I sealed his body to not let him interact with the resentment here... In morning I'll begin the healing. If you excuse me child, let me go to Gideon."

Master walked outside the cave and looked up, his smile like that of an adoring father. He climbed the back of the cave to get on the roof, Gideon was resting face down. On hearing the footsteps of his master approaching he grunted. The Master's smile grew big as he walked and came to sit near the fox's head. He stroked his hairs in calm manner.
"You remember the little pixie you brought once when you were little? She was going to die but you brought her running towards me, master heal her she's so tiny and cute, she'll die..." Master animatically was talking like Gideon did when he was a child
"Then she became well and started teasing and playing with you, but you hated her that she always ate your food and spent more time Cransford. Gideon..."
GDL: "hmm"
Master: "Life is very important. It takes lots of energy to concentrate to give birth to life, it takes energy to nurture it, to keep them healthy and happy. Life is a blessing. Death on the other hand is the truth. Death is permanent, you could never regret dying, you could never correct your death. The universe ends when a life dies. So while there's still hope, while one can still enjoy the beautiful lie of life, they should cherish every moment of it... And to have an opportunity to save a life... You know how rare that is. You could live your life, but if you save a life, you live twice as much. You've killed-"
Gideon shuddered, curling into himself, pressing himself close to master's figure...

"You have killed before, and I know what you felt, but you have saved even more lives. So never regret your actions child. This master is only a Banyan tree in this rocky earth. Trying to understand life, the energy that drives us, digging my roots deeper and deeper... And you are my desire of flight. You are the most precious thing I ever found... Don't torture yourself like this. I never thought I'd see you again after that incident... I am not ashamed of you. I love you my child."
Gideon got up, his eyes has teared up, he placed his head on master's lap. Clutching a little of his clothes. His face blank.

After sometime master came down leaving Gideon there as he went to prepare food for the guests.
