I followed Makein slowly as we headed to her room. She was right this wound did need alot of medication though it doesn't hurt as much.
" would you hurry up! I don't want to carry you if you fall mid way!" Makein squealed.
"Yes yes... We all know that"
"Look. I worried about you okay? And I don't want to see you suffer ... That thing looks terrible." Makein's words held sorrow and worry and it pained me to see her like that.
As much as the 'happy-go-lucky' person Makein was she also cared for her people. Well mostly me and father. But the fact is that she can also be worried as much as she can be happy.
"I know. Sorry about that"
When I finally got to her room, Makein had prepared everything. Was she planning on this? She had fresh towels, lukewarm water and some medicine.
"Well I think you should sit or lie down" she said from one side of the room. Digging through her trunk for something.
"So I can sit anywhere?" I asked sarcastically.
"Yes yes do whatever"
I sat down on a stone that had been carved as a chair. It was hard but the coolness of the rock was soothing. When Makein finally arrived near the chair she folded her arms ad looked at me in annoyance.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well I can't treat you with your robe on now can I ? Take it off will you...you stupid child"
"And I'm the child..... how?" I said obeying her command. For the first time I saw the result of the impact done to me. Both me and Makein hissed as I removed my robe.
The wound was bigger than what it was when I was in dragon form. The wound stretched from my chest all the way down to my stomach. "Ouch"
"Ouch? How in dragon's name are you even up and walking? Your supposed to be like ' the wound is making me feel tired..Makein..please..h-help me" she said acting like a person who was about to die.
"Okay first . I do NOT talk that way. And second. Your talking to a dragon master. One of the most feared dark lords in all the lands of Ephora. "
" yeah and that's why father named you Sameal 'the ruler of all dragons of our kind. But you got to admit that you are pretty much unnoticed too." Makein answered rolling her eyes at me.
"Stop being so self loving and let me treat you!"
"Right. Go on then" I said relaxing a little bit so that Makein could clean and apply whatever she had.
"This will hurt." She said as she poured some kind of bluish liquid onto the open wound. The liquid stung like madness and I would have yelled at her for pouring it onto me without dabbing it.
" Makein... I- If I wasn't hurt r-right now I-I would kill you!" I managed to cough out some words.
"But I think it's helping isn't it??"
"Let's see. How long??"
" it should clear once i cleaned the wound thoroughly. "
"And is this...... supposed to be happening?" I asked pointing at the liquid which was now turning purple. It looked terrible. The once blue liquid was now turning purple .
"That's not supposed to happen!! Oh my dragons! I am so sorry but that means that this can only be cured by one of them . Our medicine won't have effect on it! " she said her eyes widened with terror.
"Well.... now isn't that amusing? I was going to meet that woman later onwards..... now I need to get the mess sorted out too. We'll head out now. Deliver those things and then lets see what we'll do after. " I answered her by patting her head. "Mind bandaging this up for me?"
"Okay. Ya sure."
_________________________##############____________________________
After getting the wound bandaged and getting dressed. Both me and Makein headed up to the platform and jumped down a portal that our father had created. This portal linked us to the human world and in their world we were gods.
The place where we landed was a small rural village which had been neglected by their ruler, since it was far from civilization it seemed as if they were forgotten. Our father had stumbled upon this area and had helped them and since then we have helped them. To them we were their saviours and they worshipped us for this .
"Hey Samael! Stop day dreaming and help me with these sacks of gold will you!" Makein yelled bending over the sacks of gold trying her level best to carry them.
"Oh get some of those people to help you!"
"Your always like this when we come here!" She puffed and called some of the villagers to help her.
Since Makein was handling things, I started to walk away from them. To a destination I did not know. I had no aim but I just walked.
After walking a bit further away from the village I came across a large tree which had been struck by lightning and had lost its top half. Looking at the structures of the tree, it could be said that if it was still intact it would have been a very large tree. There was also an opening at the foot of this tree so I decided to peek around.
I stood at the entrance of the cavity and examined the inside, it was hollow and was just perfect for keeping a prisoner.
"This was one of the oldest trees here" a frail voice caught me off guard making me turn wildly out of shock. It was an old woman. White hair and barely able to walk if not for her wooden cane. She was one of the village elder. Probably older than the tree too.
"It is sad what happened here. But maybe it may be of use to you son? You may do as you please with this tree. Think of it as a gift from our villagers in an extent of our gratitude. After all we are just a neglected village."
"If it is alright with the villagers I would like to see the inside of this tree. And perhaps build a strong hold. You see we have very dangerous magic users there. But since magic of their standards can not be used here it would be ideal for captivation. I will put up a barrier so that none of your villager may enter unless they are bringing the captivor food. In that instance the barrier will form around them "
"Very well my child. If that is what you wish then we allow you to do so." She said and headed back to the village. "Let us know if you need to build something in there"
"Actually I do.. And I have the material that needs to be fixed there. May I get the help of some of your villagers ?" I asked joining her to return back to the village.
When we got back , the elder told the villagers what was meant to be done and they all waited for my command. "Makein where are those shackles you brought along with you?"
"There right here but why do you want them? You said bringing them was a bad idea." She answered in a mocking voice.
"I know what I said..... but I need them now. I am going to build a prison here." I answered and pulled the chains away from her.
"A prison?" She yelled and followed me and the male villagers as we headed towards the tree.
