Tales of the Wizard

Ch 6. Healing

Raiden opened his eyes, and groaned, "Ugh, Where am I?"
"RAIDEN," a voice squealed, before he was hugged, "I was so worried."
"Sheena, n-n-need to breath," Raiden choked out.
"Sheena, I would like to see the patient. Which is almost impossible if his girlfriend is smooching him to death."
Sheena detached herself as if she had shadow-dashed, her face red as a tomato.
The doctor smiled, "Aah, to be young again."
Sheena coloured even more and Raiden started stuttering.
The doctor took a look at the wound, it was completely healed without scarring.
"You have amazing healing speed, Raiden. It been a day since you arrived here, and you have healed without scarring. That is quite a surprise, because I gave you a small chance of survival."
"How so?"
"The twist you made, caused the sword to miss thevital thingsbut it made a long cut. You should have died from loss of blood, fortunately we found a suitable donor in time."
"Who?"
The doctor looked at Sheena, "Her."
Raiden looked at Sheena, "Thanks."
Sheena composed herself a little, "Just returning the favour, you saved me ten years ago from myself."
Raiden smiled, and turned to the doctor, "So, when can I leave? I hate to be stuck in a hospital bed."
"I suppose you are healthy enough, so right away."

Raiden gently lowered himself to the ground.
Sheena was beside him for support should he need it.
He looked at his body, no scars of any kind.
Suddenly he noticed something, a plain ring on one of his fingers.
"Hey Sheena, did you put Corrine's ring on my finger."
The summoner looked surprised, "No, why."
"Well," Harry said and he showed her his hand.
Sheena held up her own hand, She had the same ring on the same finger.
"Strange," Sheena said, "Could it be that the transfusion had some side-affects?"
"It is possible," the doctor said, "but there aren't many cases known of blood transfusion with these kind of side-effect. It seems the blood gave Raiden the ability to summon, just like Elvenblood given to the Chosen allowed him to use Magic."
"I can summon now! I can never be normal, can I? Well, I suppose I can't do much about it."
"It might be that any existing pact will be shared, as well as future pacts."
"So if one makes a pact, it will be shared."
"Probably, but you are the first case so I can't be sure."
"I see. Anyway we must be off. I can only assume the worries of the vice-chief," Harry said, as he put on his black ninja clothes.
"Please, let me know should some thing happen. You are the first case, after all."
"We will try."

Sheena and Raiden walked out.
"We're back in Meltokio?"
"It was the fastest to bring you here."
"I see. Ready to go back to Mizuho."
Sheena smiled, "Yeah, Let's go home."

When they reached Gaoracchia Forest, they jumped and started treehopping.
"I still find it odd that we share summon-spirits now," Raiden said.
"It is weird, but we can make pacts faster now."
"That's true. We aren't depended on one person to make the vow."
"But our vows need to be held up by both of us. So it would be best to stick to each other until we're sure about the vows."

They talked until they reached the village.
"Hey guys, I am back," Sheena said.
"Sheena, Raiden," The guard nodded, albeit a little cold, "The chief wants to speak to you."

"What's going on? They act differently," Raiden whispered, once they passed the gate.
"Any kind of Mana Manipulation requires elevenblood. It means I am at least part elven."

"I still find it insane, that people judge others on their blood. Just like wizards, halfbloods are weaker then purebloods. Muggles fear magic. It is all nonsense. We all live in the same world, we need to take care of it together."
"I agree, Raiden," the vice-chief said, "Please, come with me. I received news that the Renegades have fixed the device."

He guided them to the Chief's house, "Sheena, the Chief wanted you to have this."

He gave her four seals, "these can summon guardians, but you can only use them once."
"Thank you, I'll will use them wisely."
"Raiden. You are our best warrior, trained in more disciplines then any other attempted. I will give to this weapon. It's a twin blade, the swords combine by the hilt. I think you can control this weapon," the vice-chief said, while he handed Raiden a shaft for a sword, a second blade fitted in the other end.
Raiden bowed, "I will try, sir."
"The Renegades await your arrival in Flanoir. Their base is near that location," the vice-chief said, "It's best that you leave as soon as possible, as the king and the pope also watch this mission. The Renegades have a base on Sylvarant, and have made preparations for your arrival."
"We will be going right now," Raiden said.
Sheena bowed to the real Chief, "I will be back, grandfather."
Then she turned and left the village, Raiden behind her.
