Rebirth

Rebirth pt.3

It had been days since I had met the girl, the magic girl. However I could not stop thinking about her and the way she changed from light to different shapes and forms. I had managed to find my way out of the woods and onto a main road which I had been walking down for what had felt like forever. My worn rags were just about clinging to my body and I was covered in various patches of blood and scars, no fit state of recovery. The morning was early and the sun bright, a town was in view and I headed towards it. As I drew closer I could start to make out details of the town, buildings were scattered with various signs hanging out to attract customers. A small mill greeted you as you entered, swishing water round and around its wheel. There were people everywhere, milling about their daily lives who all stopped as I past, staring at me with confusion and fear. I moved on into a market square where various stalls were set up selling fresh fruit and food enticing to my hungry senses. However the staring carried on, eyes all pointed at me. Expect from one, a blonde woman wearing a clean set of hunting armor with a strong face and glowing bright eyes. she smiled at me, causing me to smile back. She pushed through the crowd of staring civilians and tossed me an apple "eat up mate, you look hungry" she said pointing to my ribs which were clear in my chest. I accepted her kind offer and took a bite out of the juicy Apple, a mix of sweet and sour flooded my taste buds making me grin as it was the first thing I had eaten in years. "come with me, let's get you fixed up" she said as she pointed her hand out to mine, I hesitated at first but eventually slipped my zombified hands into her perfect ones and followed her.

I awoke sitting in a rather comfy chair in what must have been the woman's living room, a fire was going warming up the whole room. I was surprised by the sound of her voice as she entered the room "your a zombie" she said sitting in a chair in front of me. I was shocked by this remark "excuse me?" I questioned, "well, technically you've been reborn, but it's basically the same thing" she replied. I looked down at myself, viewing my body, were there were previously half bones and dead flesh, was now covered in normal human flesh. "You healed me" I gasped, "well not exactly" she replied "I used middle flower to make your flesh and skin grow back but those parts of your body are still technically dead". "What does that mean? I'm a monster?" I said to myself, "no your still you, you've just well, lost your life and regained It. Hey! At least you won't feel pain in half your body!" She said trying to reassure me. But I was still so confused, and how did she know so much about this 'Reborn' thing? "It's amazing really, I've only ever heard stories, I never seen it done before. But you've been brought back for a reason, you've been given the opportunity to escape death, why?" She said asking me the question I've been asking myself since I first woke up in that prison cell. "I, I don't know" I sighed, "well then we need to find it out" she replied smiling "my names Clara by the way" I shook her hand "Arno, Arno Talion"
