Messed up! The Great Beginning

Page 22

After Axel had left, Laura, Ray and I were talking about random things. That was also where I found out that today is Saturday. That explains why the two are able to pay me a visit today at this hour. I asked the two how their families were doing because it got me curious.

Ray said that her foster father was near the incidents location and had hurt his leg a little. He is doing better now. Her father is pretty tough after all. He is pretty much what you expect from a typical lumberjack looking guy:

Big and buff, brown eye covering hair with a beard, red checkered buttoned up shirt with rolled up sleeves to show off his hairy arms.
You name it! He is incredibly caring, tho and has a soft spot for animals.

Laura said that she was out of town with her family because of a religious meeting. Her family runs and lives in the local church, after all.

Religion is a lot different here on Legalola than what I remember on earth. There is no christianity or islam. Here, you believe in the so-called three elemental groups. In Truelania, at least.

There is Time, Light and Darkness.

Each religion has a God. There is the God of Time, of Light and of the Dark. Many people who have lived for centuries ,and especially cultists, say to have at some point witnessed one of the Gods, whether it was in a dream or in reality. It is unknown if this is true, however. It is only known that every witness has the same saying based on what God they have seen.

Each religion has its own saying.

'With time, everything will be back in order.'

'Everything can be healed by the purity of light.'

'The dark will protect us in the darkest times.'

Here in Truelania, most of the Truelanians all around the continent believe in Darkness  because ever since the Kingdom of Light and Truelania became sworn enemies, Truelanians are disgusted by the Light as they say it's not what it used to be once.

"Lucky you." I said to Laura.

"I really am.." She said back to me.

We continued chatting with Ray and after some time, it was already 12 PM. Ray and Laura said they had to leave and said they'd come back again later. Now it is me, myself and I again. My next therapy session is at 12:30 so to keep myself busy, I once again started to read. I then headed over to Axels office and knocked on the door where he greeted me with joy.

I took my seat and he pulled out a blueprint. It had a mechanical built for a right arm on it.

"This here is what I have for now. What do you think?"

I noticed that he wanted to match my left arm. The blueprint also has pointy nails on it!

"Woah, that's so cool! I love it!" I charmed.

"Well, it's only the blueprint. It's nothing much yet." He responded.

"But I promise you will get a new arm in no time! I even started to make plans for your eye." He said, exited.

After a long talk about the things that were happening recently, Axel told me that he had asked the hospital staff about the fact that nobody knew that I was fine. He said that they apparently didn't know what he was talking about and that he shouldn't bother them, which is very strange and suspicious. He apologized to me and said that weird things are happening recently in this hospital and that he doesn't understand why.

Soon enough, the session was over and before returning to my room, I gave him a playfull fist bump. He really is a cool and silly dude, in my opinion.

The day went by slowly and nothing interesting happened. That was so until a doctor came into my room to give me a health check up. He checked my reflexes, he took a look at my bandaged eye and so on. He asked me if I had any pains and when I answered "no" He came to the conclusion that I could leave the hospital tomorrow afternoon.

The world felt like crumbling around me. I don't wanna pay the Queen a visit so soon. I thought I would have to stay longer here. I heard that the Queen was quite dark and intimidating.

After the doctor left, I took out the letter again. I wonder how I will get to the castle. It's in the complete north of the capital of the empire called Travo. I mean, I live in Travo, but it's on the other side of the small city that is connected to the bridge that leads to the castle gates where I live.

"For God's sake, this is so stressful. I still have to do school work that I missed." I mumbled to myself.

Then suddenly I heard a soft knock on the door and to my surprise it was Ray and Laura.
