Chapter 5: A Heck of a Healing!
It was beginning to get noon, but Troy could already see the castle looming over ahead of him.
"You've been in the castle right?" Priscilla questioned Troy.
"Yeah!" Troy said proudly.
As soon as Konah, Troy, Priscilla, Perry, and all the other troops headed inside the castle, Konah pointed to the staircase.
"That's where the healing center is, all you have to do is keep going straight. It's really easy!" Konah explained to Troy.
"Okay, that will be great, aah!" Troy said, but then slightly shouted in pain.
"Hmm, are you able enough to stand on your own?" Perry said to Troy.
"Of course not!" Troy said, but then realized something, but couldn't remember what it was.
"Alright then, Priscilla, do you mind escorting Troy to the healing center?" Konah asked his daughter.
"Sure, I guess." Priscilla calmly said, regardless of who she was about to escort up. She made it look like no big deal. Troy admired her for not be too over excited and not really jumping and super full of energy. Troy hauled himself out of the pony and onto the ground. As he landed, he felt excruciating pain, but ignored it.
"Aah!" Troy exclaimed in pain.
To Troy's embarrassment, he nearly fell over, but Priscilla reached forward a second time and grabbed his arm before he fell.
"I guess you're really that wobbly!" Priscilla said to Troy and chuckled. Troy did a weak smile and enjoyed every last noise of that chuckled. Priscilla's chuckle was cheery, and happy, and Troy liked those kinds.
"All right then, I guess I should start moving my pony to the pen and probably give it a few pieces of hay." Perry concluded, and then walked back outside.
"Yes, and I hope you do enjoy the healing center!" Konah said to Troy, and then walked away.
Priscilla was holding Troy's arm, and she was basically like walking in front of him. Troy kept walking at Priscilla's pace and noticed the flaming arrows she carried. It was burning and sparkling like the twilight, and Troy really liked that color. Almost everything of Priscilla's features fascinated him. But before long, he was standing outside the healing center.
"The healers inside will take care of you for now." Priscilla finally said to Troy.
"Okay, thanks…" Troy said, and quickly hided another of his blushes.
The healers wore golden yellow clothing, white angel like hair, and their hands were glowing.
Troy limped over to the glowing bed that was in the middle of where the healers were floating. Troy could see a big healer bigger than the other healers floating next to the bed.
"That must be the healer in charge of this place!" Troy thought to himself.
"Hello Troy." The big healer greeted Troy. Konah has been spreading word of you all around his castle. My name is Hana, and you're Fighting Spirit is strong. But right now, even the fighters need to aid their health! So where does it pain?" Hana questioned Troy.
"My back and my right leg." Troy said weakly to Hana.
"Okay then, can you lay down on this bed please?" Hana said, and motioned her finger towards the glowing bed.
"Sure thing."
Troy rested his whole self on the bed, and that felt some comfortable and warm.
"Aaaaahhhh!" This bed is really comfortable!" Troy excitedly exclaimed to Hana. Hana smiled and then nodded to the healers. The healers moved around Troy and shot white looking beams at his leg. Troy felt his legs improving and getting back to normal. Ten seconds later, Troy no longer felt his legs being numb. One minute later, Troy no longer felt his legs being stiff, solid, or throbbing.
"Thanks for the heal to the legs!" Troy politely thanked the healers.
"Anytime," They said. "Whenever you get hurt in battle, or doing something courageous and brave, this is the right place to go!" The healers assured Troy.
"This sure is the best place to go to!" Troy said.
"Now can you please lift your back up?" Hana instructed Troy.
"Certainly!"
Troy then started lifting his back up, and the healers including Hana shot some more white beams to Troy's back, and Troy felt a great wave of massage to him. Then after that, Troy could feel all of the soreness going away.
"That was one of the best healing feelings ever!" Troy said.
"Yep, anyways, you should be on your way now. Don't worry; count on us to get you healed up!" Hana said.
"Thank you!" Troy said one more time, and headed outside the healing center.
Troy could smell some more good food in the air. The smell was so good, that Troy just wanted to taste the smell right out of the air.
"This is going to be one good heck of a lunch!" Troy exclaimed and went down to wash his hands.
When Troy arrived to the table, he could already see Konah, Perry, and a wizard. Troy wondered if that wizard was the same one from breakfast that morning.
"Hello again Troy!" Konah greeted.
"Hello." Troy said, and then took his seat. Troy then took his seat, and put his napkin around his neck.
A few minutes later, he could see some more troops arrive, and Priscilla served down a large bowl of what looked like to be French fries. Then she smiled at everyone and then went back to the kitchen.
"Royal Fries, one of Perry's favorite appetizers!" Konah proudly stated.
"Now that is true good food!" Troy said. The smell of the fries was super good!
Finally, the queen arrived back again with some more royal guards, and the trumpets sounded out again.
"Greetings Qanah!" Everyone greeted.
"Greetings everyone! And thank you!" Qanah said, and then took her seat in the opposite head of the table.
Priscilla arrived shortly carrying some wine and berry drinks.
"Sorry I'm late!" Priscilla said. "A princess like me sure has a lot of duties in the world of the kitchen!"
Everyone nodded in approval, as they of course believed what Priscilla said. Awkwardly, the only seat available was the one across from where Troy was sitting. Priscilla took it, regardless of who she was sitting across from.
Troy did have quite of a good lunch. He had ten Royal Fries, a large piece of steak, eight greens, fifteen cranberries, six cucumbers, and some more of that good berry drink.
"So how did you like that healing center?" Priscilla questioned Troy.
"Hana, the lead healer there was awesome! Her healing powers are like one of the best in the entire realm!" Troy.
Whenever Priscilla heard the word "Realm" it sort of made her dizzy, since the universe is the biggest thing ever, so she quickly shook it out.
"You okay?" Troy said.
"Yeah, I'm fine!" Priscilla said. "The word 'Realm' makes me a little bit dizzy."
"Sorry then." Troy quickly apologized.
After lunch, Konah announced that they were going to go have another duel with another opponent king.
"And that will happen in ten minutes!" Konah said to everyone. So, everyone make your last minute preparations for the next battle!"
Everyone nodded and started getting ready.
After ten minutes passed, everyone was ready.
"And Troy," Konah said to him. "Are you able to still fight on your own?"
"Of course!" Troy proudly boasted. But then remembered that the Medallion was stolen. But he still had determination.
"Although my powers are gone, I can still use kicks and punches!" Troy said, but then quickly remembered something. Kicks and punches don't represent what you are. They represent energy, but what you do and think represent what you are.
"Actually, I take that back." Troy said, and mounted up on Perry's Pony.
Konah was puzzled, but then commanded everyone to move forward. Then he, Perry, Troy, Priscilla, and all the other troops all headed towards the arena, confident and determined to take the trophies away from their next opponent.
