My Beginning After the End Four Armies

Recovery

Virion Leywin

I rolled out of bed, still pushing aether and blood magic throughout my body, healing myself. It's been four days, my eye was somewhat back to normal, my vision was blurry in that eye, but it was better. The wounds all over me were closed, but the aches were still there as even though my blood was replenished, the scars in me were still recovering.

I cracked my neck and back, one thing I planned to do, and had to do, was get stronger. I think the way to do that was through the blood mana technique, I need to dive into it and develop some new skills. The fact that I barely made it out of the fight with Aldir alive was the reason for this, yes, he was one of the strongest asuras, but he was no Kezess, and if Wraiths or other Dragons showed up after the fight, I would have died.

I didn't know where to start, and personally, I probably wasn't going to, I was going to have clones do it while I had fun over in Alacrya. I still needed to follow through with all I was doing, I could use clones to get stronger while I was doing what I wanted, it was the upside of being able to clone yourself and keep their memories.

I also had to figure out how to develop my own World Eater technique, but I already have an idea on how to do that while the other thing is growing in the lab. I need it in a few days, so I'll figure it out eventually, Rosa had a good idea, but I don't know yet.

Selena left to get food, but I wasn't hungry for food, I needed blood, which sounded bad, but it surprisingly made me feel a lot better. 'Hades, you up?' I asked my bond as I slipped my clothing on, heading towards the door.

"Yes." Hades said, slithering out of me and onto the ground. "I've been up for a while." The two of us started walking down one of the tunnels within the Grotto. "Where are we going?" I really didn't have any plans except healing, but I wanted to see what everyone was up to.

"I'm going to see everyone, I'm bored, and need to do something." I responded to him, over the past four days, Selena was caring for me in any way she could, both trying to make me feel better, and make herself happy. "I'm sure we will see Selena in the process, and if not, she'll find us eventually."

"Alright." Hades said, and I felt for the people up ahead in the center room where everyone went to be at. "How are you feeling otherwise?" I could feel the blood soldiers growing hungry, or it was me, I didn't know, they were all under my control, so who knows.

"I'm fine, a little sore, but nothing blood magic can't fix." I told him honestly, and I rolled my eyes. "I think it's funny how Kordri and Wren joined Arthur, seeing that surprised me, I mean, I knew at some point they would, but right after the death of Aldir."

"Yeah, and that they were with Mordain, it's all pretty cool." Hades said, and I nodded my head, agreeing with him. "I'm surprised Arthur isn't back with Kordri." I had blood crows over the city, could basically see everything, and I also had spies and clones within the city, they couldn't really hide anything from me without being obvious.

Arthur could simply discuss a plan with a small group of people and keep it from me for as long as possible, but even then, I don't know how long that would last. "They are speaking with Mordain, probably trying to figure out what to do with Agrona, Kezess, and me." I paused, rolling my eyes as I thought about it all. "If I had to guess, Kezess was going to show his face soon, well, not his face, but power, to make sure Arthur knows he is watching and that they have a deal."

"Yeah, not your problem anymore." I nodded at my bond as we arrived at our destination, Selena was not here, she was in a different room, but I'm sure she'll find us at some point. "I'm going to examine what's going on in the lab."

"Do whatever." I told him as he slithered away and I opened the door, everyone within turned my way and stood as I stepped into the room. I could see Ivy, Damon, Rosa, Mawar, and Kiloph, I waved for them to sit, not needing to be bowed to by my own children, and I didn't care about Mawar and Kiloph.
