Memories - King's Return (Wakfu): The Hub

Chapter 19: Kerquek

Ok, ok, so I promise I have started on the rewrite- I've just been busy as heck. I'm also starting the next Breaking Bonds chapter right now, so give me some credit. I also am certain that chapters at -four hours ago- will no longer be a thing. My schedule isn't the same, so later posting will be regular.

You guys are awesome~

Ralo double checked the labels on the pitchers. One, of course, was labeled 'milk' and the other labeled, 'Kerqek'. Ralo sighed and looked through the notes on remedies.

"Ralo, why did you say that?" Chibi asked him again.

"Nothing, nothing. I misread some labels, so what? You'll be fine, I mean..." Ralo said embarrassed. He finally found the entry on Kerqek and he read it quietly to himself.

Kerqek

Classification: Emergency Use Only

Kerqek is a three-base medicine of the second course. This medicine should only be dosed by a high medical-positioned professional. Keep dosage under ten milliliters for every situation. Have patient drink slowly without any other consumable. After taking, adult patients will be knocked out for approximately thirty minutes. If dosed over suggested amounts, a patient might remain unconscious for multiple days or, if taken quickly, four to five weeks. Contact a professional immediately.

Ralo looked at the pitcher. He estimated that he'd poured around twenty-five hundred milliliters and given it to Chibi. Looking back at him, Chibi was most definitely unconscious. He unbound Chibi and found a spare blanket that he laid Chibi in as he was tucking him into bed. He sighed unpleased.

"Well at least my job will be easy with the two of them out of the way," he told himself. He suddenly froze when he was kicked from behind.

"Two of them, eh?"

Ralo turned to see Yugo standing there looking bored and annoyed. Ralo told him to go sit on the bed for his safety, and he did rolling his eyes.

"So you're feeling well, now?" Ralo asked him with his arms crossed. Yugo smiled as if he hadn't just kicked him.

"Besides feeling sore, I feel fine, I'd say. I am SO hungry, though," Yugo remarked. Ralo untensed and walked over to the table, very frustrated. He began making the third meal. When Ralo set down the plate, Yugo didn't immediately start eating it.

"Ralo, you look stressed. Are you feeling ok?" Yugo asked him kindly. Ralo ignored him and took a second look at the entry on Kerqek.

"You can't be kind to me anymore. I need you to understand that I am the villain, and you're the hero, Yugo," he insisted. Yugo walked back up to him and read the entry.

"I don't understand what you're saying. If you made a mistake, then mistakes are forgiven. Why are you being in denial?" He asked confused. Ralo clenched his fists.

"You know nothing! Stop making judgements and go back to sleep," he yelled at Yugo. Surprised, Yugo went back to the bed in silence.

'I don't want to hurt you after what you've done for me, but if I act out like Q mentioned you could be killed.' Ralo thought to himself. 'I'd never tell you that, though.' Ralo made another concoction and threw it at Yugo, binding him to his bed as well. Yugo gasped and then calmed.

"Ralo, why don't you trust me?" he quietly asked. Ralo didn't respond, but instead he pulled his hand into a tight fist.

He waited a few moments before saying, "The people whom I was close to are unintentionally the ones I crossed first." Yugo stared in silence at him, trying to figure out why Ralo was telling himself a long since forgotten saying that came from a legend before ultimately giving up and eating. Ralo sighed at his inability to understand and kept writing his notes. Very suddenly, he jumped up and ran over to Yugo and quickly untied him.

"Yugo! Get out of here and don't hesitate to run!" Ralo yelled urgently before dashing to a locked room nearby. Yugo quickly grabbed Chibi and ran like Ogrest's Chaos was behind him. He thought about portals but remembered that neither him nor Ralo knew if the treatments had been working as intended. He resorted to on-foot transportation.

Upon reentering Elger Nouvelle, the people tried to block him from the castle, to which he was running. At some point, a few Eliatropes saw Chibi and tried to take him. Yugo sighed and eventually forced his way through them.

He flung open the castle doors rather dramatically to draw needed attention to Chibi. Knowing the layout well, he went without hesitation to the meeting room unintentionally interrupting the meeting. The whole castle gasped upon seeing his current condition.

Adamai's face lit up at the sight of his brother after the month. "Yugo? I thought you left Elger Nouvelle! What-"

"We don't have time!" Yugo shouted, interrupting once again. He set down Chibi and Kolor ran to observe him. "Get as many Eliatropes out of here as soon as you can! Ralo... He's practically insane!"
