The Imprisoned Dragon - Blade, Dan Heng IL

30. Endless Rain

"KEEP HIM UP, DO NOT LET HIS BODY TOUCH THE MUD OR I WILL DEMOTE YOU ALL" Evias shouted to his unit, as they were holding Blade's body in the forest.

"Have you called the medical Unit?" Zeno asked to Volre, who was the young Elf of the Unit. Thanks to Dan Heng's mana he managed to get back to himself, but there was no time for any nice reunion, as Evias didn't want to leave Blade's body there.

"Yes I did... but he's... dead, what do you think they can do?" Volre replied to then feel Evias' stare on him "Sorry Captain"

Fey sighed heavily "It would be easier if it wasn't for this rain, it looks like it's eating the forest" he mumbled, as the whole ground was wet and mud was making them walk slow.

"Doesn't matter" Evias looked at the sky covered in black clouds to then stare at Blade. His clothes were ripped where the spears impaled him, showing a little his upper body "He has to be alive"

"Evias" Luthiel called him "I know you're quite fond of him, but..."

"No, shut up" Evias gnashed his teeth, making the unit surprised at his serious tone "Apart from my... affection... He's" he sighed heavily "He's Dan Heng's guard, if he's not alive, there's no way we will see Alyne again, we need to do something" he looked at his unit "I won't accept humans with crazy ideas to put their hands on our God, and we need him alive, understood?!"

The Unit nodded and they all managed to reach a point where a little camp of Elves was set in the Forest. Evias ended up in his tent, listening to the rain pouring aggressively like it wanted to submerge them, looking at Blade laying on the bed next to his.

"This is exactly what I wanted us to be" Evias crossed his arms "With the little detail you were alive though" he continued to then stand up and reach for his bed. The blue eyes of the elf laid on Blade's upper body, the wounds were there and even if he looked good, Evias couldn't accept to see him immobile.

"Captain" Fey entered with the medical unit "They're here"

"We're here too!" Zeno, Luthiel and Volre entered, with some food to offer to Evias.

"Finally" Evias sighed to then get in his hands the sword of Blade in his cover, held by Fey while they were holding and moving the body of the swordman "Please, do something"

"Oi oiii" a tall man with long blonde hair and shiny green eyes entered in the tent, making Evias roll his eyes "I see my little brother needs my assistance" he smirked and Evias looked with flaming eyes his unit

"Why him?" Evias gnashed his teeth and Fey shrugged

"Do not ask me, Volre used the spell to call out whatever medical unit was closer to the forest" he explained, and Evias' eyes were locked on his big brother leaning to Blade's body and talking with some of the medical units, that were already applying some medicines to the wounds.

"No way the Queen's medical unit was out of the Palace and near the borders." Evias looked at his brother, who smiled innocently

"Oh, my little brother" he clapped his hands with stars in his background "Fret not, I heard from my spies you have laid eyes on this human, I wanted to meet my soon-to-be family member"

"Luocha, you still spying on me?! I am not a child anymore you..." Evias face was mad as well, but he then sighed and looked away "He needs to stay alive... He's important."

"Master Luocha is the best medic in our territories, do not worry Captain" Volre smiled at him and Evias crossed his arms, feeling definitely too mad and scared to listen to them.

Luocha tilted his head to then look at Blade "He's surely a fascinating human... If he's still human" he crossed his arms as his eyes were stuck in his figure like he was using his mastery already to analyse him "Tell me anything you know about him."
