Vulces:  "I can't believe myself about the fact that I actually followed you."

It took way more effort than needed to stop Vulces from slapping himself right in the face.

They were at the place Kyravor recommended but even Vulces could understand that this excuse of a old wooden shack can't be a clinic yet alone anything remotely medical.

Kyravor: "What? You needed a doctor so here we are youngling."

Merdafiel: "Is he at least... a trained professional?"

Kyravor: "Of course he is! You think I would bring you guys to a sham doctor?"

Vulces and Merdafiel answered in unison.

 "Yes?"

Kyravor lost the light of trust in his friend's

Kyravor: "Nevermind... Let's just head in, you'll see that the person I'm talking is more than a 'Trained Professional'."

Kyravor said the last words in a sarcastic tone. Then he walked up to the old wooden door and he opened it with great effort. He grunted and huffed upon opening the seemingly heavy door.

Kyravor: "Judith? Are you in?"

Vulces: "Judith? Wait... it isn't a he but a she?"

Kyravor: "Oh yeah I forgot to tell you..."

The moment kyravor finished his sentence a woman opens the clinical curtains seperated our trio.

Judith: "Kyra? How nice to see you!"

Her voice was like morning doves chirping, full of energy and happiness.

Kyravor: "I told you to stop calling me that after we broke up!"

Vulces's head snapped back at kyravor.

This viking looking man and this nice, elegant lady? They couldn't have dated, at least Vulces thought so.

Merdafiel tugged on Vulces's sleeve.

Merdafiel: "I was there... It's real..."

Vulces had an expression on his face, an expression that indicated his colossal amazement at Kyravor.

Judith: "Hmm? Who is this little fella and... this... patient?"

Vulces: "Oh sorry ma'am, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Vulces Bairon and this is the guy just drank bleach. I managed to make him throw up what he drank but we still need him alive so we trust in your abilities."

Judith had a good moment of disbelief.

Judith: "So you're Vulces that Nariemi told me about?"

Vulces got shocked at that statement.

Vulces: "Oh she told you about me?"

Judith: "Yeah, she told me about you. But she introduced you like a bloodlusted killing machine. I didn't know you would be just a cute fresh graduate..."

Vulces got flustered on Judith's compliment.

Vulces: "Well, thank you... But we need to treat this guy here or it will be too late"

Judith: "Don't worry cutie, I got my medical license revoked but still remember a thing or two about first aid..."

Merdafiel tugged on Kyravor's sleeve.

Merdafiel: "I think she likes him."

Kyravor: "No shit sherlock, she liked me why wouldn't she like him?"

Merdafiel nodded in acknowledgement.

They laid Melaenis on the makeshift medical bed and left him with Judith to do her job. While they were waiting for her to fix Melaenis up they sat in the loby.

Kyravor and Merdafiel both looked at Vulces and gave him a look that can only be described as "Now what?" type of look.

Vulces sat and looked to the ground, trying to come up with something to feed the informational hunger of his teammates.

Vulces: "We should at least find a guy who is directly related to this... Whatever that is, Melaenis just said 'They' and that's all."

Kyravor: "They're definitely a cult, I mean just look at 'em."

Merdafiel chirped in.

Merdafiel: "I rarely agree with Kyravor but I think he might be correct this time. We're probably dealing with some kind of cult in action."

Vulces kept looking at the ground, the wooden floor boards interesting pattern dilating his mind.

Vulces, tired of thinking at this point, let out a loud grunt and stood up.

Kyravor and Merdafiel both looked at Vulces, whom they known to be just a timid fresh graduate and his rage filled eyes, they tried to understand what's happening. At that exact moment judith opened the little medical rooms door and went out covered in some bodily fluids, taking out her gloves like doctors in medical shows do.

Judith: "He's stable, stopped convulsing and breathing normally again."

Vulces: "Is he conscious?"

Judith clicked her tongue and shaked her hed from side to side, her long ponytail and bangs shaking as well.

Judith: "Tough luck, I give it at least seven hours before he opens his eyes again."

Vulces: "Seven!?"

Vulces shouted louder than he intended to and pulled himself together.

Vulces: "I'm sorry, I just-"

Judith: "Don't worry darling. I will watch over him while you guys are gone and make sure he doesn't escape~"

A faint smile planted itself on the corner of Vulces's lips.

Vulces: "Thank you. I appreciate it."

Judith only smiled back and waved them hello from the door step.

As they were walking back to wherever they wanted to go there was an awful silence roaming free.

Kyravor: "What now?"

Merdafiel turned to Kyravor.

Merdafiel: "I don't know, ask Vulces."

They both turned to Vulces, but he was deep in his thoughts. However a firm slap to his back from Kyravor was enough to snap him back to reality. When the slap connected with his back Vulces let out a pain-filled groan and yelped.

Vulces: "What the hell was that for?"

Kyravor: "From planet Earth to youngling, where is our next stop?"

Vulces sighed deeply while rubbing his back.

Vulces: "I don't know, let's just go to my place and think of something."

Kyravor and Merdafiel happily started following him.

Vulces:"Sis, we're home!"

Vulces shouted as soon as he entered from the door.

Jade:"We? Who did you bring? Your girlfriend?"

His sister shouted back from the living room.

Vulces:"Oh shut up! They're from the team I told you about."

Vulces had an embarassed blush on his face, getting teased by her sister in front of his team members. Jade came by the entrance and greeted the two.

Jade:"Welcome to our humble abode."

She said with a sparkly smile.

Kyravor:"Pleased to meet you miss, I was wondering who raised this savage of a boy."

He smirked friendly upon finishing his sentence. They laughed it out and went to the living room.

Vulces:"Hmm? Merdafiel, aren't you coming?"

Merdafiel was in the middle of an emotional turmoil. He was shaking and his face was red. He suddenly grabbed Vulces' arm and leaned right into his face.

Merdafiel:"Vulces... Why didn't you ever told me your sister was this pretty!"

Vulces was dumbfounded, he could only muster up one confused sound.

Vulces:"Huh?"
