Unforgiveness ‡ The Void ‡ No.1

Team Support

The fungi team just glare at Rune, waiting for answer.

"Well? Well what?" Bloodworth asked, really impatient.

"Knox was inside in my room. I was about to gave him some medicines..." Rune replied as he open his door to let the group in.

"Also calm down because he's tired..." Rune explained but Mercyx already ran inside with Mace in the opposite of what Rune requested.

"Where the heaven is your room?!" Yelled Mercyx

"On the left. You see it since my home don't have a basement or a second floor." Rune replied and let Mercyx and Mace ran toward the room and bust the door down.

"Holy Voids! Knox we were worried!" Mace then yelled after and Rune shake his head. The others of the group then ran toward the room to see their friend too.
Knox was in Rune bed with both Mercyx and Mace hugging him on both sides like a doll.

"Guys, I'm not dead yet..." Knox mumbled.

"But we were worried sick! What happened?!" Dusk yelled as Rune came back with some medicines in his hand and a glass of water type to Knox.

"Don't you think I have enough water?" Knox ask to Rune.

"Ha ha, very funny. It the medicine and the healthy water. I'm not going to left you get infected with some disease. Now take it or else I'll force it." Rune spoke to Knox somehow more threat and the other were surprised.

"Wow, passive-aggressive Rune confirmed." Jako spoke as Rune shake his head and gave the medicine.

"I was just mad that Knox was trying to drown himself. If I were late for another minutes, Knox would be dead." Rune replied Ashe lay his head on the side of the bed.

"Damn Knox, why?" Jako asked. The other gave a worried look at Knox.
Knox look down and sigh.

"I... Feel very upset... That's all..." Knox replied looking away.

"Reason for upset?" Mercyx asked, glare at Knox with disappointment.

"My... Sister died and the tournament.. And the sacrifice my sister done for me... I.." Knox voice began to shaking as he began to cry again.

"Oh... Knox, you could've come to us and talk about it." Maria spoke, feeling pity for Knox.

"Yeah, we will always be there to support you Ko." Mercyx also added making Knox look at them.

"I was just so... Angry at those Crystalians who bullied my sister, and lord Obel who was about to kill me but then my sister sacrifice for me... I just... So..." Knox growl and sobs. Rune went and hugged Knox, so does the others.

"We're understand your feelig Knox. And seriously? Lord Obel always have to be a bitch." Mace spoke looking at the wall.

"My father trying to stop the tournament and it angered the lord, so the lord was about to took my life."  Knox replied looking at his friends.

"Of course, no Crystalians wanted a tournament. None because we're too young. Too soft and not experience." Ochoa spoke.

The team just comforting Knox with their best.
Rune was being a doctor for Knox.
Mace and Dusk was out to find the food and ingredients for Rune.
Mercyx and Bloodworth was around with Knox and help their best on what to train for the tournament and
Jako and Maria are next to Knox reading books and stories, comforting Knox like their child.
Knox was feeling glad and happy with everything their friends did and it really helping Knox feel better.
Very better.

"Come on Ko. It easy to used this spell and we could do this together too!" Maria spoke softly to Knox. Knox nodded and look at Maria.

"Don't you think it too easy?" Knox asked and Bloodworth chuckle.

"Ko, she just turn 300 years old, go easy for the poor gal." Jako explain.

"Ohh, I see. Alright then, let started to play with this magic. Mercyx could find some fruit in the dead tree garden area for us to try." Knox replied.

"And if we're lucky, maybe we'll win together! Teams!" Exclaimed Dusk.

"That just raise my questions. The paper didn't say about how many winner." Bloothworth spoke and Knox, Maria, Dusk and Jako look at her.

"W-well... Last tournament, there were 5 winners. S-so .." Dusk mumbled, looking on the corner of the room with concerned.

"So do this mean 4 of us will have to die?!" Mace dropped the glass of water in the corner of the door. Listening to the five conversation.

"No! Cannot be. They lived because they are unique in many ways and our lord were impressed by it! So he choose those five out of fifty!" Knox explained, trying to calm Mace down.

"Last tournament was fifty, how many is it now? Less than 30!" Bloodworth yelled, Jako immediately went to Bloodworth to calm her down.

"Listen, we don't know about this yet... And we still got a weeks left before the tournament started..." Maria explained softly, looking down on the floor and put the magic book away.

Jako, Bloodworth, Knox, Mace and Dusk nodded to Maria comment.
Soon for about 30 mins, Rune, Ochoa and Mercyx came back and stare at the five.

"What happened? We came back and all of you look so blue." Mercyx spoke and the five just look at Mercyx.
In the end Bloodworth explain the three what was happening that was bothering them.

"Well, I guess it either spend all the time we had together until it all gone." Ochoa spoke looking at Mercyx and patted his shoulder, carefully and trying to not touch the parasite scar on Mercyx body.

"Don't have to worry for me Ochoa, my body already gave up and I can finally rest in peace but I'm more concerned for Rune." Mercyx spoke glare at Rune.

"When are you going to confessed? This is the perfect time now big fish." Mercyx growl at Rune and Rune flinch.

"I told you Mer! There's no way that that Crystalian will love me back." Rune spoke back shyly and softly.
Mercyx just growl and look away.

"This conversation is isn't over, ya hear me fish boy?!" Mercyx yelled, Maria and Jako ran and calm Mercyx down.

Knox just sit down there, making a bucket list with Bloodworth on what to do in one week before the tournament... They will spend their time together before it all be gone.
