<p data-p-id="37afc59ae6b6192a599e0e452ceb3907">"My Lord, it's not wise for your back to sleep in the chair" A young nurse wandered in at about 11pm earth time holding a few syringes in her hands and a tablet as she bowed low.</p>
<p data-p-id="0f756e167fa8a9293a0f741029b94c4d">"I know, Don't worry about it" I mumbled yawning for about the tenth time tonight gazing out into the dark burgandy clouds creating a dark veil over the sky.</p>
<p data-p-id="851a81517005fa41ee222d481dad0b77">"His temperature has dropped a little, though it's not stable until it's back in the 38 degrees range and it's still at 120. We're lucky he isn't human or he would be long stewed by now" She giggled moving over to the opposite side of the bed.</p>
<p data-p-id="579835846bec7525141074d697b142c4">"Will he be able to walk?" I asked resting my hand under my other that was still tightly holding Emmett's.</p>
<p data-p-id="4760c3b4af6f06445d721746546facc3">"He was lucky there was no spinal damage, just from a few of those breaks and the ribs that punctured his lung and..I have to show you something my lord" She sighed setting the syringes down and rounded to my side of the bed to sit to my right.</p>
<p data-p-id="96ffb78f1351c3e8296567dba78f6c6f">I shifted closer to view the screen of the tablet, a flickering bad quality video popped up but I could just make out Emmett's figure backing away from some Nether beings, he was cornered against the tree as the nether's drew nearer. That moment I saw him throw up his hands purple fire roared into life and exploded through the Nether beings sending them into a purple termoil of burning flesh and bone reducing them to a black charcoal in the grass just as Emmett collapsed alongside the tall blades</p>
<p data-p-id="ef9a147475f97c7432b436daea0c47db">"Dammit." I cursed rubbing my hand over my face sitting back in my chair sighing loudly.</p>
<p data-p-id="fc8f7e05e9913790cdf59d5b5ab9e839">"We can just try to heal him and bring down his temperature, but any stress could trigger this again and pardon my rudeness you're that sort of stress" She pushed up from the chair and headed towards the door "Call for us if there's any change" She bowed and closed the door behind her.</p>
<p data-p-id="19f9a467870ffe83e10ef166f230d9e9">(Emmett's Point Of View)</p>
<p data-p-id="a9e3a18c18112e549ba19209ed78e152">I can't see anything, nothing at all. It's all just darkness and it freaks me out. Did I seriously die out there? A blinding white light shone out burning my retinas furiously, I waited until the light dissapated before opening my eyes again. I found myself standing at the bottom stairs of my family's home, the industry burnt it down not long after my parents died to make sure no Nethers came back.</p>
<p data-p-id="7ae3946349a551f7eaf37e0ac0b279ba">The smell of fresh pastries and roses wafted out of the open window, I slowly reached for the door and turned the handle. I poked my head into the kitchen and found someone standing over the stove.</p>
<p data-p-id="930b7c52fda12d6c9e37c4cc81405dd3">"Mom." I gulped as she turned to me with a surprised gasp dropping the spoong in her hand.</p>
<p data-p-id="33011c5ecc886333e2116fe180f4a3fa">"Emmett, What are you doing over here?" She lowered her voice running over to me and throwing her arms around me.</p>
<p data-p-id="ff2c51c321cb170a1128ba4c7bd11d9a">"I don't know Mama. I went for a job..then they caught fire and I don't know" I whimpered squeezing her tightly.</p>
<p data-p-id="0efe0b8b49decb6532057ccda1f9c49c">"You need to listen to me well Em. When you were little, you were taken away by Nethers and you were used as an experiment where they injected dark flame magic into your DNA which is why you have these powers. You can't use them, or the consequences could be catastrophic" She sniffled brushing her hand across my cheek.</p>
<p data-p-id="1fbeaf085cf732e807ffe14a43985b54">"What do I do?" I asked taking in her beautiful facial features that were identical to when she died.</p>
<p data-p-id="94d916c4cc2db07a794d05ff17fb11e3">"First of all, The reason why we stopped your missions was because of this stuff. You need no complications and no stress" She cooed stroking a few strands of my hair between my fingers.</p>
<p data-p-id="6d0c8021c1b4a1dac26ae0456ac53847">"Like the hulk." I scoffed folding my arms across my chest annoyedly.</p>
<p data-p-id="d0b62cd80f61e26b4586c9227d5f1d7b">"Yes like the green skinned comic book guy" She laughed rolling her eyes sarcastically. "You need your Eternal Soul Partner to take care of you" She smiled patting my head softly.</p>
<p data-p-id="a20e4abb97a195338f9cafe9cd0d1a47">"My soul partner is an asshole." I spat looking down at my feet kicking at the daisy coloured tiles.</p>
<p data-p-id="6665a54f7eed82644b26749d1b764f96">"Mister Mordecai certainly is not, he's conflicted" She stuck her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side.</p>
<p data-p-id="336399dc2cecb55dd33d85b516186c63">"He's marrying Lux mom. I have his tattoo on me!" I yelled shoving my hands in my pockets.</p>
<p data-p-id="86bf4d7b91fd4e593770d47c6b2a24db">"I know you do Sweetpea. Just show him what he's missing out on" She grinned devilisly "I mean look how much you've grown, you were only seven the last time I saw you..We were gardening" She giggled brushing her hand over a rose sitting in a vase on the kitchen counter.</p>
<p data-p-id="7176395b41328e59ec826a76b193f6ec">"Your father wants you to stand up for yourself. He was heartbroken when he saw what they did to you" Her eyes glistened with forming tears resting her hands on my shoulders.</p>
<p data-p-id="8577a0007bec0cb0e371051100bf1e99">"I'll try Mama but it's extremely hard" I sighed dropping my shoulders shamefully.</p>
<p data-p-id="0cad421eabe82e986aa2c1d2fd44c781">"Do your best. I don't ever want to see you on this side of the veil ever again!" She scolded angrily kissing my forehead, Vibrant white trickled into the kitchen and I winced covering my eyes from the blinding light. I groaned trying to open my eyes that were resembling blocks of lead, a viciously white roof with red trimming came into view this time.</p>
<p data-p-id="68ca6f1a164b57344c316bc2ca28d73e">I tried to shift my arm but it stayed rigid as if I was handcuffed to the bed, panic clenched in my chest sucking out all the oxygen and I was gasping for air but my throat was obstructed by a foreign object that was forced down into my lungs suffocating me from the inside.</p>

<p data-p-id="1d27081e91d9b8d8fb4d8a2e49500fbf">I looked down to his sleeping form again watching his chest rise and fall steadily which was a good sign that his lung was working better than when he was brought in, A large gasp rose from his mouth and his eyes snapped open darting around frantically as he choked on the tube that was pushed down his throat struggling against his bonds to try and dislodge it.</p>
<p data-p-id="9566659d18812a9aca365eb4299161be">The door swung open and Igneus came running in with Juvia running in behind him followed by a frantic Lux "I need the two of you to keep back" He ordered nudging me away from Emmett to pull out the tube from his mouth, sitting him up higher as he coughed and sucked in mass amounts of air.</p>
<p data-p-id="65e2da8d3d655786f50f085a4f4bb1d9">"Emmett, I'm Doctor Igneus and this is Doctor Hart. You've been injured and we've had to restrain you" He smiled reassuringly to Emmett who was still wheezing to try and breathe properly, His eyes met mine and an angered scowl crossed his face, a menancing glowing purple flashed across his eyes and a glass shattered into pieces on the nightstand.</p>
<p data-p-id="f6a10a528f0a36bb31f8a79323b1d0ff">"Emmett, please calm down" Juvia begged but when Emmett heard her voice he grew all the more furious as dart of purple fire impaled the wall beside her head.</p>
<p data-p-id="4156b4226ee916b39a5e3ce508d5a5dc">"You two! Remove yourself!" Igneus barked to Lux and I trying to calm Emmett down who was squirming in fits of rage. I ignored the knot forming in my throat as I led Lux out of the room and the door slammed violently behind us, my guess that was Emmett's doing.</p>

<p data-p-id="fbd7579a8b6a1fd2854b586fd7fb2f01">That dimwitted asshole! How dare he stand there in the same room as me and that little whore that warned me against seeing him in the first place was going to marry him! Screw him and his stupid tattoo I hope he dies alone!</p>
<p data-p-id="0e137d1a64bddb82ed36165eada59cf5">"Emmett!" I felt a sharp shake on my shoulder and I broke out from my rage, I recognized the doctor standing over me looking pleasantly scared "You remember me right? We went to the academy together" He smiled pushing me back into the pillow.</p>
<p data-p-id="dc515d5ccf65b1525ea523687e4216f2">"Yeah, I never knew you would end up here" I rasped against the dryness of my throat.</p>
<p data-p-id="d64725394711a4d5aa967a6fa795927d">"I removed Lux and Lucien from the room to relieve your anger levels. I need to talk to you about this" He sighed pulling a chair forward and perched himself in it. "You can't do missions anymore, not until we can either lock the DNA up again or we train you to use it" Igneus brushed a hand through his hair in frustration.</p>
<p data-p-id="f8cb65b4d99594931e19f0b51d1f7e40">"Well what can I do?" I grumbled clearing my throat loudly ignoring the clamminess settling over my skin.</p>
<p data-p-id="9aaf35936160688707ba77adda57c059">"I suggest teaching, you're one of the best archers and the younglings need a good archery teacher after Alistair left" He chuckled reaching into his pocket.</p>
<p data-p-id="e2fbf35b58208868a9a3d5abaf0b4abd">"That sounds good but whingy kids would give me the urge to dropkick them in the face" I laughed bitterly staring out of the window, it had been years since I'd been in hell and I certainly didn't miss the red sky.</p>
<p data-p-id="028b4d95a63bacd44ecb875e4339dd2d">"But alas, until we can control your body temperature and not incinerate anyone who touches you, we have to make you were these fireproof gloves. That's where your powers come out of, when it's blocked you can't use powers and people can touch you" He pulled a set of black gloves out of his pocket and sat them on the bed.</p>
<p data-p-id="95410caca7341f04e6dbaabe932a1c9a">"Are you able to put them on for me, because y'know I'm tied down and all" I grunted shifting against the enchantment bonds.</p>
<p data-p-id="7f8b395f84d1a9d5899fd90acd90aec6">"Okay, just don't kill me" He laughed slipping the glove over my sling hand and buttoned it up around my wrist before leaning over to slip the glove over my other hand.</p>
<p data-p-id="c535855e840f1b6318dcd9f5a76574ff">"I promise not to" I scoffed fidgetting uncomfortably, I had only just realised that a tube was literally stuck into my side.</p>
<p data-p-id="b54d6d6948d1eb720edd14747e7c0ee8">"Your lung collapsed, I can take it out now" Igneus chuckled moving over to my other side, he gently slid the tube out of the small incision and covered it over with the bandaging. "You'll just be in a little bit of pain" He frowned leaning towards the door.</p>
<p data-p-id="0fca2154697e5dedcc55a41a4018f28a">"What's wrong?" I cocked an eyebrow at him twisting my wrists at their newfound freedom.</p>
<p data-p-id="a690be55d43d4da72f97c336781feeb1">"Lux wants to come in..And so does Master Lucien" He mumbled shifting his weight awkwardly.</p>
<p data-p-id="d8b120f7e6789d25ee37caf4e937d6b1">"No, You told me to get rid of my stressors. So I shall. Starting right now" I growled clenching my hand into a fist listening to the crunch of tight fabric against my fingers</p>
