A Divine One

Chapter 13 Glasgow

As time passed, the gradual descent of the sun signaled the onset of evening, casting a soft glow over the landscape as Samuelu assumed the role of the wise guide, leading Rozen and Punpun in solemn procession towards the sacred ring of healing nestled within a hidden cavern at the far reaches of the island. With deliberate movements, Samuelu revealed a concealed shield that guarded the entrance to the cave, prompting a moment of reverence before he ushered the duo inside.

"In this sanctified chamber," he intoned with a voice weathered by time and wisdom, "lies the transformative waters of the maternal healing essence. Your journey to this place is proof of your dedication and prowess, particularly in being chosen as the one destined to confront my son. Here, within these ancient walls, lies the key to unlocking the dormant power of restoration."

Gesturing towards the pool of glistening water that shimmered under the gentle light filtering through the stone crevices, Samuelu imparted his knowledge with a solemn yet nurturing demeanor. "To grasp the art of healing, you must immerse yourself in the essence of these waters and attune your senses to the cries of those in need. When you lay your hands upon the afflicted, let your heart guide your touch and infuse every motion with a genuine desire to alleviate suffering."

A hint of mirth danced in his eyes as he added, "Of course, the sacred ritual demands a complete stripping of barriers, a symbolic act of vulnerability and trust. Rozen then looked at Punpun and then at Samuelu as he was confused about what he said, "You got to go in there naked." Rozen started to scratch his head in embarrassment at what Sameulu said. The old chief then pointed to the entrance and returned to giving orders. "Find within yourself the courage to shed all that conceals your true essence and step forth unencumbered into the realm of healing. I shall await your emergence with your friend, as the cave bears witness to your transformation and readiness to embrace your destined role as a beacon of solace and renewal.

Rozen smiled in embarrassment as he walked inside the cave slowly as half of his body was in the water. As he got deeper into the cave lights from crystals shone in the area of the gloomy cave. As Rozen unclothed himself he then was feeling something hurting every part of his body as he grunted and was confused about what it was. And suddenly again that feeling, something awoke inside of him, so he decided to endure it more.

Enduring and enduring as the water started to glow much blue with a mix of pink sparking as the power was being given to him, amazing as he stood still and not even moving as he looked down in awe. The water then stopped its magical show as it then returned to normal as he entered. Rozen then made his way to his wet clothes. Finally walking back as his clothes dripped from walking his clothes slowly started to dry as he got closer to the exit, he was impressed on how fast it dried. "Powers, Weird dark figures, Rizo, and fighting a huge Samoan warrior, nothing is so weird to me anymore." He whispered to himself as head his way to the exit of the cave shaking his head.

As Rozen came back to Samuelu and Punpun, "How was it?" Said Samuelu, "It felt weird, like a bit of pain but I think I have it. How do I know if I can heal?" He said, giving a concerned look. As Samuelu was about to answer, a scream was heard from afar and they all ran to the village. As they cautiously made their way through the dense forest towards the secluded village, a sense of foreboding settled in their hearts.
