The guardian

Chapter 43

Pha's pov:

Forth has been sleeping for the last three hours.

He would frown and tighten his arms whenever Kai tried adjusting their position.

The door opened and Beam, Ming, Yo and Kit came in.

They looked at Forth worriedly.

"You already heard huh?" I sighed.

They nodded.

"How is he?" Beam asked.

"He's been sleeping for the last three hours. Hasn't woken up even once. He won't let Kai budge from his position." I answered.

"Aren't your legs numb?" Yo asked him.

They are. But I'm using mana so it's ok. He said.

"You're using mana continuously? Are you sure that's a good idea?" Kit asked worriedly.

It's fine. It's not like I'm using a lot of mana. I can keep doing this for days without a break and i won't run out of mana. He assured.

They nodded.

Just then Forth started shuffling.

We all immediately focused our attention on him.

He slowly opened his eyes.

He still looked really tired.

"Hey." I called him softly.

He looked at me.

"Hungry?" I asked.

He seems to be in deep thought for a while.

"A little...." He finally murmured.

"What do you want to eat?" I smiled.

He blinked.

"Something sweet...."

I looked at Kai.

You mean pastries? Or fruits?

"Fruits..." He answered.

I nodded and mindlinked mom.

Mom he woke up.

Really? How is he?

He said he's hungry.

What does he want to eat?

Fruits.

I'll bring some to your room.

Make sure they're sweet. He said he wants to eat sweet ones.

Ok.

I looked at Forth who was blankly staring infront of him.

The others came and sat on the bed.

They didn't say anything and kept silent.

Mom came in with a bowl of cut up fruits fifteen minutes later.

I gently pulled Forth to sit and fed the fruits to him.

Thankfully he actually finished everything this time.

Mom gave a glass of water after he finished.

He laid down again this time with his head on my lap and closed his eyes.

I sighed softly and ran my fingers through his hair.

"Call us if you need anything." Beam said.
