To live again

Chapter 13 - Overwhelming

Midnight felt irritated. He had this throbbing pain in his head and everything was just too much. What was the reason behind all of this discomfort? His doctors lowered his magic restraints.

He never imagined his magic to have such an overwhelming effect on him. Doctors said that the irritation is mostly caused by him not being used to having a stronger magic. After all, they used to be young children before the incident, so their magic hadn't developed much yet at that time.

Though he never imagined magic feeling this uncomfortable. His body was also kind of tight and itchy. He would also describe it like a lot of energy just got trapped in his body and now wanted out. But that wasn't an option. Overall he felt like he wasn't in control anymore, which made him really nervous and that made the itching only worse, because his magic seemed to respond to his emotions. The occasional mood swings didn't help either.

Right when he thought things were getting better, it all just got a lot worse. Dream is trying to be here for him, but truthfully all he wants right now is to be left alone.

“How are you feeling today? Did it get better or is everything still too much?” Dream asked him with a worried expression.

“Nothing changed” Night muttered and Dream frowned.

“I think it would be for the best if we paid a visit to Fia, your magic professional. I know you are not really fond of him, but I think it could be helpful.” Dream said. It had been a few days since Night’s magic suppressant medication had been changed and his brother was still feeling unwell. It really worried Dream.

Midnight sighed. He really didn't wanna go. That crazy skeleton makes Night want to punch him in the face. Though this time he might actually do it. But Fia is one of the only people he knows that could possibly help him right now. As much as he didn't want to, he reluctantly agreed with Dream. His brother then scheduled an appointment for tomorrow.

—The next day—

Dream pretty much had to drag him to the other side of the hospital to meet Fia. Thankfully Fia didn’t spend long on the pleasantries and they got straight to the point quickly.

“So you have been getting headaches, mood swings and your body has been feeling tired and itchy?” Fia asked and Night nodded.

“From what you have described, it sounds like your body seems to not know what to do with its own magic. Of course, that is actually common for monsters that had been on magic suppressant medication for a very long time.Though in your case these symptoms had lasted longer than they should. Might have been caused by your inexperience with magic…” Fia explained and took a minute to think about it.

Suddenly the silly looking skeleton abruptly got up from his seat, slightly startling Night. “Alright I think the best way to help your magic is to get it out of your system and try out some moves.” Fia announced as he stretched his arms.

Meanwhile Midnight looked at the other, a bit taken aback. “Wait-wait, do you mean -are you sure? I-I mean…” Night fumbled over his words.

“What, you're scared to try using your magic, because of that one little incident? You lost control, but that is not the end of the world. Also we can send dreamy boi over here out of the room, so no harm to your brother.” Fia told Night. Dream looked like wanted to protest the idea of leaving, but decided not to say anything. Afterall he wasn't the professional in the room.

Midnight still had a lot of doubts. Also how can he just look past the fact that he has no idea how to control his magic. “Are you really sure? It feels a bit too soon for this…” Midnight said, looking nervous.
