Mezameru: Demons Arise

Chapter 23 : Tranquility

After the wrestling match with Frost, Alexander decided to try to better control his frustration and emotions. He began meditating and remained still the entire next day.

Captain Marsala: "What is he even doing out there? It's gonna rain."
Frost: "Well, I ain't risking my machinery getting rusty for him."
They closed the window as it began to pour. The soft sprinkle of rain turned into a ravaging thunderstorm, yet Alexander didn't budge. He felt the cold and harsh raindrops getting colder and colder until they were as cold as ice, but he remained patient.

It started hailing rapidly the chunks of hail getting as big as rocks, crashing down on Alexander yet he had no reaction at all

After Hours of standing in the hail His skin was full of ice shards,battered and bruised yet his emotions didn't get a hold of him, then the Hailstorm settles and the sunny skies come after the clouds

Alexander:"I guess I should go inside"
Alexander went down to see where everyone was, these were still making the new base
Hunter:"Yeah Alexander this was a great idea but it's gonna take a while'
Captain Saboru:"Yeah at least 10 years to build this"

Alexander:"Damn. That's crazy"
Eleanor: "Yeah the blueprints I came up with are so advanced-"
Frost: "Eleanor you didn't draw any blueprints those are from the fucking canceled projects folder"
Eleanor: "Shut up"
Eleanor teleported Frost to his workstation in one of The E.C.A.E buildings.

Hunter"I think Frost is gonna be mad at you"
Eleanor:Yeah but what is he gonna do?
Hunter:"Yeah you're right, and-
Alexander why do you have like ice shards in you're skin? "
Alexander:"Oh yeah I can't regenerate since they are deep in my flesh"
Eleanor:"You want me to pull them out?
I can do it quickly"
Alexander:"Okay just do what you Gotta do-" Alexander yelps in pain
When Eleanor uses her telekinesis to pull out the ice shards
Eleanor had a blush on her face because she thought that the noise Alexander made was cute
Alexander's flesh quickly regenerates
Alexander:"Thanks but give me a warning next time You pull something out of me, okay?"

As Alexander's flesh quickly regenerated, he couldn't help but notice Eleanor's blush, which made him feel a bit flustered himself. Despite the pain, there was something oddly comforting about her presence. once the awkwardness subsided. With a nod of gratitude, he turned to Hunter and the others, ready to continue working on their project, grateful for the support of his team.

Hunter,Captain marsalu and Alexander worked on evening every nook and cranny while Eleanor and captain saboru were setting the foundation
Everything was going fine until the containment vessel which the amulet was in fell out of Eleanors pocket but she didn't notice then it was covered in the foundation

After a day of working they set the foundation of the base but it will need at least a year to fully stabilize so they decided to lock everything up

Captain marsalu:"Finally were done with that,"
Captain Saboru:"Tell me about it"
Eleanor:"Year I'm so glad were done It was a So hot in there"
Hunter:"You get used To it"
Eleanor:"No"
Hunter:"Well that wasn't a question though"

Alexander:"Anyways I'm gonna go now"
Eleanor:"But can we talk later?"
Alexander:"Sure, But in a couple of hours"

Alexander Then leaves the house and goes into the forest, He decided he should Try to master patience beside nature, He sits down beside a river with a gentle stream and begins to question
'Why was I allowed this power'
He breathes In and out to stay calm and become one with nature

Hours of sitting beside the river until
He spots a Fox on the other side of the river drowning, Alexander immediately saves it and uses his jacket to dry it and set it free back into the forest but the fox doesn't leave, it stays by alexanders side The entirety of the day
