Chapter 23 Part B

Continued from Part A

Meeting with Akira continued...

I wanted to shout in my excitement and struggled to contain myself. I could feel the energy of the blue spark had like a tingling sensation and like the air felt wavy with the energy heaviness collecting together almost what felt like a pulse like wave around it. It felt wonderful too and relaxing as it floated in the air between my two hands that were cupped around it. The blue spark was now instead of only being smaller than pinky fingernail size grown up to the size of my the length of my thumb tip to the first thumb joint. In other words, it was about three times bigger in radius and thus much, much bigger but still very small.

Magic was hard after all...I had to fight for it. I had to work at my concentration, and also try to keep the blue spark of energy and rays of sunlight from going out. I had to regulate the flow of energy from... near my heart(?), in order to do so, and keep that steady also.

It was a bit hard.

And then I realized it was partly harder because he was... it was as if he had heavy injuries with his bad legs instead of just small cuts. This was a serious case.

And I now thought he probably would have sickened and died if I'd not shown up to help. Plus there weren't any other healing ability users in our group of survivors so far. (Why aren't there more...)

It didn't bother me that it was still small though, because it was exciting that something cool had worked out. This was amazing! Magic was real! This wasn't just a half skill now; it was something dependable and could make a difference!

"Wh-what are you doing Shun?! I feel weird! Something strange is tingling me! It feels strange!" Akira was starting to panic. He was really tempted to look, from the sound of his voice.

"Strange how? Does it hurt?"

"Uh... well its like it itches a lot. But the pain is going down from before. I had pain before you showed up so there's still a bit left. Ah... so itchy... I want to scratch my own skin off," he urged whining.

"Just don't look and stay quiet. Don't touch anything down there because your skin is all stressed out and fragile from the fluid build up bulging and stretching it. If you look I'll have to stop," I said firmly raising my voice a small amount. I held out the blue spark light over his legs and then gently pushed it down into the ugly putrid flesh of both feet that were placed close together for better efficiency.

It was hard to feel this out because I wasn't sure if it was better to let the blue spark light naturally flow into him or to actually try to push it through. There might be some efficiency change in how I put it on the wound. Would it also be better to spread the blue spark light over the entire area or pinpoint certain parts of the mutation and infection in his legs? Would he also feel pain because it wasn't a true wound, but rather was a mutation and swelling?

I continually pushed the blue spark deep into his legs, closer to where the bones would be; that's where I had to target in order to do the most good. If I just healed the skin near the surface it wouldn't solve the root problem.
