Arcanum - Chapter 133

Chapter 133: 133
\"So first we'll need to locate the infirmaries . \" Helen planned





\"Yah with Daisy and Helen . . . . and their healing spells . . . . they probably would accept our help . \" Grace agreed .

\"Sounds like a good first step . \" Jay agreed .

\"So head back into the city and ask some guards? . . \" I suggested .

\"Yeah let's give that a try . \" Daisy agreed .

\"So why don't we learn healing spells? . . \" I questioned Jay as we began making our way back to the city .

\"So from what I understand . . . Daisy gets her powers from Serra herself and Serra specialises in healing . . . . and when it comes to Helen's druid healing spells are also granted by her God . . . I assume one of the Gods of nature . . . . generally Druid spells focus on natural healing and accelerating the natural healing process . \" Jay explained .

\"So we can't learn them? . . \" I asked curiously .

\"Well I think you can . . . . . But learning to master different schools of magic takes a long time usually . . . . . So splashing into Druidic, Paladin or Cleric spells would be detrimental to your Sorcerer spells . \" Jay answered .

\"Ahhhh a sort of jack of all trades master of none . \" I nodded in understanding .

\"Hmmm yeah! But don't worry though . . . we have a lot of bases covered with our group . \" He smiled .

\"So do you think Helen or Daisy has met their God personally? . . \" I asked out of curiosity .

\"Most likely . . . . Many people throughout history have met their God in sleep or visions . . . . Why? . . \" Jay answered .

\"I dunno . . . back in my world . . . it was more like a faith . . . something you have to believe in . . . . . \" I answered .





\"Ahhh I see . . . . Well I'm sure there's a reason why they might not be able to contact their followers as easily . \" He answered .

\"Why's that? . . \" I asked .

\"Umm well how the story goes here . . . There was a very cataclysmic event like a civil war between God's you might put it . . . So after that event the God's left the worlds and created their own Domains in the Astral Space and a barrier was formed to stop God's directly with the mortal realm . . . . . So maybe your God is just too far away . . . or can't contact their followers . \" Jay explained .

\"Hmmmm maybe . . . . . \" I contemplated on his story but ultimately disregarding it, there's no way their history can be linked to ours .

\"Do you have a faith? . . \" I questioned Jay .

\"Me? . . . nah . . . . . Not my thing . \" He chuckled .

\"I get that . \" I smiled remembering Paul had no faith in and religion especially after the loss of his mum .

\"Daisy you're up . \" Grace smiled as we reached the gates and a group of guards .

\"Why me? . . . \" She asked in shock .

\"Well you are a Paladin of Serra . . . . and well Helen is a Elf . \" Grace answered .

\"Okay fine . . . . \" She replied and began to walk toward a group of guards .

\"Are all dark Elves evil?\" I asked Helen and Grace .

\"To be frank . . . . Most of them are . . . There are the rare few that aren't but majority of them are sadly . \" They answered .






\"Is there a reason why they are so different to you guys? . . \" I asked curiously .

\"They are the Elves that remained faithful to the Evil Elven God's . . . . . And was cast deep underground . Their insatiable hunger for power have driven them to very heinous acts . . . . . . Filled with slavery, back stabbing, and mindless killing . . . . all sorts of things . \" Grace answered .

\" . . . . . . That explains why you both were so eager to act . \" I replied .

\"Yeah . . . . . We Elves know what Dark Elves are capable of . \" Helen answered .

\"What are we gonna do once we get down to the bottom of this? . . . \" I asked worried that we're way over our heads .

\"We'll let the Deputy Head Mistress know . . . . . \" Grace answered .

\"Ohh . . . . was kinda worried you guy might go barrelling in . \" I replied .

\"Of course not . . . . . Dark Elf assassins should not be taken lightly . \" Grace replied .

Grace came walking back to us with a solider following by her side, \"So these are my friends that I mentioned earlier that came to help . \" Daisy introduced each of us .

\"Nice to meet you all . . . . on behalf of the city thank you for your help and support, follow me I'll take you to the infirmary . \" He said leading the way .

\"So if you don't mind me questioning . . . . what's been attacking the solider and people? . . . \" Helen asked politely .

\"Absolutely hideous creatures . . . . . Heavily armoured insect creatures with giant mandibles and carapaces as hard as steel . . . . one particular one I've encountered looked like a big boulder at first but then began sprouting several tentacles and a gaping mouth with razor sharp teeth, it bound and caught most my party dragging them in to consume them . . . Not many of us made it back that night… . . \" He answered physically shuddering as if traumatized by the event . .

\" . . . . . . . . . They don't sound natural inhabitants here . \" Helen replied .

\"They defiantly aren't . . . . . It was the first time I've ever seen such a disgusting creatures . \" He answered, \"Reports say that there were giant insectoid creatures . . . . . That let out a disorientating scream along with a mesmerizing gaze . . . armed with giant mandibles and giant clawed hands that could easily cut through our armour . \" He added .





\"That definitely sound like Hulking Beetles . \" Grace answered .

\"Have you fought them before?\" He asked in response to Grace's familiarity of the creature .

\"No sorry . . . . but we've read about them . \" She answered .

\"Anything else you can tell us about? . . . \" Grace asked .

\"Some reports speak of a weird darkness that appears where all but one member of a guard unit mysteriously disappears . The one surviving guards almost always seem to have been driven insane for somehow… . . Blabbering about horrific visions . \" He added .

\"This really doesn't make sense . . . \" Jay whispered to me .

\"Why is that?\" I asked .

\"I dunno something doesn't sit quite right . . . . why was Atlantis called in for this exact date . \" He questioned .

\"You're right . . . . So there has been attacks on the guard and some individuals . . . but how do they know that an attack was gonna happen today? . . \" I agreed .

\"Excuse me . . . . . Is there a reason for all the amped security today? . . \" Jay asked .

\"Ohhh yes . . . . the commander said that the High Mage has received visions of an imminent attack . \" The solider answered .

\"Ohhh I see . . . \" Jay nodded in understanding .

\"So their High Mage must have used some sort of divination magic . . . . . . \" He whispered to me .

\"This doesn't sound good . . . . . Helen and Grace seem to know what the creatures attacking the guard are . . . . and now we've discovered news of an imminent attack . . . . that the school probably don't know about… . \" I whispered back .

\"Yes we'll defiantly report all our findings once we're done here . \" Jay replied .

As we approached a large building a strong stench began wafting into my nose forcing me to gag, \"What is that smell? . . \" I said holding my nose closed .

\"It's the ones that didn't make it . \" The guard frowned looking down at the ground as if showing respect . Jay pulled out his wand casting a spell making the smell into fresh scented flowers .

Opening the gate entering the grounds of the building there was a large area filled with many bodies laid down in neat order completely each covered individually in white sheets . \"This way . . . . \" he said leading us through the main entrance into a devastating infirmary . . . innumerable bedswere filled with injured people . . . . . Missing limbs . . . blood everywhere . . . howls and moans of pain . . . . many priests running all over the place . . . . . Some even resting on a bench looking shattered or sleeping .

\"I did not expect it to be this many . . . \" Daisy froze in shock .

\"Hey you!!! Priest of Serra . . . . we need your help here!\" A man shouted out to Daisy causing her to snap into action .

Helen quickly ran to another patient that seemed to be screaming out in pain with several individuals trying to restrain him down to a bed .

\"I'll make my way back to my post . \" the solider notified us clearly shaken at the sight .

\"Thank you sir . . . . \" Jay replied .

\"Good luck and thank you . \" he said saluting to Jay and making his way out

I quickly began passing rations to some priests, they've clearly must have spent themselves feeling completely exhausted . \"I thought it was only a few attacks . . . I never imagined it to be this bad… . . \" I said to Jay .

\"Same . . . . it clearly looks worse than we've been lead to believe . . . . \" He also helping by giving out rations and drinks .

Grace went to help Helen taking the opportunity to analyse the wounds and injuries . Daisy and eyes were already illuminated with her signature golden glow . . .
