Will of chaos

I’ve been here in the city for a little over a week, now I was on the deck of the ship looking at the papers that Kira and Lilian had already given me.

“Is going out?” (Karina)

“Yes, I have seaweed things to confirm.” (I)

I look back and see Karina in a ripped outfit, but she still has a smile on her face.

“Looks like your training with Sapphire is going well.” (I)

“Yes, thanks to her I was able to adapt perfectly to my new power.” (Karina)

“I heard that the two of them were fighting with their swords for a week without stopping to rest.” (I)

“Try not to overdo it, that kind of training will ruin your health.” (I)

“You say so, but Hela and Ivan participated in that training as well.” (Karina)

“This is for training endurance and senses to the limit, my father has done this type of training several times in the past.” (Karina)

“But changing the subject, where are you going?” (Karina)

“I’ll confirm something, no need to worry, I’ll be back in a few hours.” (I)

I say that and I’m swallowed by the shadows disappearing completely in front of Karina and the people guarding the ship. 𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭

Yrima’s Most Famous Hospital:

In a secluded room overlooking the ocean, a brown-haired woman was sweating in pain as she stared out the window.

She had very pale white skin, brown eyes with dark circles under her eyes and her body was so thin she looks like she hasn’t eaten in weeks, her appearance showed the reason she was in this place, I don’t know what she has but it’s clear her health is going from bad to worse.

“Who’s there?” (women)

The woman looks away from the window and starts looking around as if she’s looking for someone, but I know she doesn’t have anyone else around.

“For someone sick, your senses are very good.” (I)

“I may be sick, but it’s hard not to notice when someone is looking at me so intensely.” (women)

I talk to her without appearing, so she keeps looking, not knowing where I am or where the nap’s voice is coming from.

“Who are you? Why are you in someone’s room with a sick woman?” (women)

“Who I am doesn’t matter at the moment, but I’m curious why you’re not scared of a stranger in your room?” (I)

“I already have one foot in the grave, so you’re going to need more than that to scare me.” (women)

As she looked away I step out of the shadows by the window, she was wearing a black outfit and mask to help hide me in the shadows.

It only took about 2 or 3 seconds for her to notice my presence and look at me, she didn’t look scared but it looked like she wanted to hide something.

“I just have a few questions to ask, depending on your answer I might be able to help, so I’d like you to be honest.” (I)

“Why would I answer anything?” (women)

“I don’t want to do you any harm, but I’m also not obligated to help anyone, if you answer my questions and according to some things for me, I might have a way to get you healthy again, as well as give you a new life for your family.” (I)

“If you don’t help or answer my questions with lies, then I’m going to leave here and leave everything as it is, but you know the end of it sooner or later.” (I)

“Why would I trust anything you say? I don’t know you and I have no reason to believe anything anyone suspicious says.” (women)

“You may be right, but this offer will only last for a few minutes, so this is a decision Vice must make for herself.” (I)

“…” (women)

She stands there for a few minutes thinking, I could see the debt and uncertainty in her eyes, but it at least showed that she was considering what I said.

“What you want to know?” (women)

“Let’s start with why you’re in this hospital and you’re not from a wealthy or noble merchant family.” (I)

“My name is Carla, just like you said before, I’m just an ordinary woman, the daughter of an ordinary family.” (Carla)

“But I was fortunate enough to have a good husband who loves me more than I deserve.” (Carla)

“You mean the wanted criminal for illegal trafficking?” (I)

At my words, she narrows her eyes, but I can see worry, fear, and sadness in her eyes.

Sigh

“So you really wanted to hear from him.” (Carla)

“He wasn’t always a criminal, when I met him, I fell in love at first sight.” (Carla)

“Back then I was a waitress and he was a fisherman, we both had no family, but we found a place to belong in each other’s arms.” (Carla)

“We were very happy, but soon my body got worse in a way that it was no longer possible for me to continue working.” (Carla)

“I’ve always had a weak body, but as the years and months go by it only gets worse and worse.” (Carla)

“Look at me, I’m not quite able to get out of this bed, if it weren’t for the potions and spells that are sprayed on me every day, then I’d be dead a long time.” (Carla)

“I had already accepted my destiny back then, but he didn’t, we didn’t know what I have, nor the magicians and doctors, everyone says my body is just too weak.” (Carla)

“But my husband didn’t give up, he knew that if he wanted to do something for me then he would have to have something none of us had, money.” (Carla)

“That’s when he started doing more dangerous jobs and committing crimes.” (Carla)

“It didn’t take long for him to become known as he always took the most dangerous jobs, things that no one else would.” (Carla)

“To protect me, he left me here where I could be taken care of while Bele stayed as safe as possible so I wouldn’t be used against him.” (Carla)

“What does he think of the kind of work he does?” (I)

“He hates it, there have been a few days when he can’t control the tears coming out of his eyes in front of me, something he always tries to avoid so as not to make me worried.” (Carla)

“As I said before, I have a good husband.” (Carla)
