Chapter 23: Information
After Oris, Jael, and Iven went home, Cail was the only one left at the hospital.
It was dim and quiet. A good environment to think.
Sitting alone on the hospital bed, this was a rare moment of peace for Cail. The past few days had been hectic.
His mother, of course, knew what happened to him, but since he'd be discharged tomorrow, she didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't Cail's first time in the hospital.
Thinking about his upcoming transaction with Neris, Cail felt a bit of a headache. "Their tournament is on Friday, and Neris wants the artifact delivered on Wednesday. They still need time to tune with it properly."
About his injuries, Cail touched his ribcage. He couldn't feel any pain and also knew that under the gauze were dry scabs from the wounds. "I guess it already healed?" Void energy is amazing.
He'd need to find an excuse tomorrow to avoid the check-up, or else those doctors would probably notice something wrong. Aside from the possibility that he'd be dissected, he could also attract unwanted attention from the other side.
Staring at the cross on the hospital wall, Cail thought of the God Iven had mentioned.
That was Illunis, right?
It felt very familiar. "Where have I heard it?" But again, no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember a God named Illunis.
"Have I read that somewhere? Maybe in the book?" Cail wasn't sure. His memory wasn't bad, but maybe... he had forgotten about it?
