Arthur's Point of View
The Hollow Forest
Kine rolled his eyes as he moved forward. "No one doubted you, Ayda." The Zugal then looked at me and scoffed.
Ignoring the cocky bird, I looked to Cassidy, who waved. "Ah told ya she wanted ta talk to ya." The redhead stated with a smirk.
Typhon was also present who walked over to the large crevice and examined it. "Woah..." He let out in an impressed manner. "Did you do this?"
"Unlikely." Ayda quickly answered. "Only one of the Priestesses would be capable of such a feat." Her matter of fact tone pissed me off.
"I don't know..." Floyd said from one of the trees above as he laid out on a branch. "Maybe we shouldn't make assumptions. Arthur did save them after all."
"Supposedly." Ayda shot back and quickly moved to me. "So, what are you doing back out here, Sir Arthur?" She inquired as she looked me over.
Replying with a sigh got everyone's attention. "Making sure the forest was clear of any more possible threats."
The Elf scoffed at me. "It's the Hollow Forest, Sir Arthur. It will never be clear of threats."
Closing my eye, annoyed, I quickly responded. "Threats of the Ghoul and assassin variety." Gesturing to Cassidy, the redhead tilted her head. "I told Cassidy the same thing earlier."
"That he did." She confirmed. "Still don't know why ya had ta do it yerself."
"Mostly because all of you have mostly gotten in the way every single time I've come out here." My dry response got a glare from Kine.
"Hey! We didn't get in the way!" The Zugal shouted.
Looking at the man, I spoke. "Do you have to shout every time you talk?" He opened his mouth again, but I raised my hand, signaling him to stop. "Don't answer that. I really don't care if you do, but I find it annoying, so do it somewhere else."
Floyd chuckled. "Always in a good mood, arentcha Arthur?"
Ayda quickly summoned her magic and started casting spells around the area. "These readings are certainly powerful, but definitely within the range of the Priestesses abilities." Then she cast a spell on me. "See, none of the magic in the area is Arthur's!"
Probably because I don't have magic, you dumb bitch. "Fascinating. Now that you got your answers, will you please leave? I have work to do."
"Arthur!" Cassidy cried out in horror as she rushed to me.
I tried to fight back, but my sword was knocked from my back as I was pushed down into the portal face first. Thankfully, I wasn't pushed or pulled through, but I was sinking. The claws started to hook into my arms, legs, hands, and any other place that wasn't covered in armor. My eye looked around for my sword to see if I could reach it.
Cassidy reached me first, and Typhon was next. Both started to remove parts of my armor to have more room to remove the claws. It made sense, and it surprised me that they were so quick on the uptake. The claws had positioned themselves in spots that used my armor as a way to seal my movements.
"Hang in there, Arthur!" Cassidy called out as they stood in the portal. "We're gonna get ya outta here!"
As they pulled off almost all my armor, they started to try and work the claws out of my body. "Help us!" Typhon shouted at the others who stood idly by, but they just continued to watch.
The portal shifted, and stardust started to float around the area as I struggled to stand up. Moving to my knees, I was able to get my face off the ground as I struggled against the claws. However, they soon shot up and wrapped around my shoulders and over the top of my arms. Sinking into the newly revealed flesh, they pulled me down as my knees were sucked down into the portal. Some even started to weave in and out of my skin in a horrifying manner.
"Get my sword!" I forced out through clenched teeth.
However, before either of them could register my words, a burst of wind shot out from the portal. It was strong enough to seemingly lift me in the air and blew both Cassidy and Typhon out of the circle of the portal. The claws slammed me back down into the portal, and one scrapped the side of my head, which tore off my wrapping around my eye.
Slamming my eye shut, so it wouldn't hurt anyone in this situation, I looked to Ayda. "Get Arceana and Elincia! Do something!" All the Elf girl did was watch with tears in her eyes as I was pulled further into the portal.
"His sword!" Cassidy shouted at Typhon.
"Hurr-" Typhon scrambled toward the blade, but when he looked back, all that was left of me above the portal were my eyes.
"Arthur!" With one closed eye, I saw Typhon shout my name one last time before he and Cassidy reached out for me futilely.
I felt my body become completely weightless, as my vision filled with stardust and light as I was pulled through the portal. The good thing was that I still felt alive. Despite all my wounds, while extremely painful, they didn't seem to be killing me at the moment. However, as time passed as I traveled through the portal, I felt my body growing weaker and weaker. Eventually, the claws all disappeared, and my body went limp as I was flung from the portal.
Now my body was sailing through the sky, and I spoke in an exhausted and wounded tone. "Where am I?"
Not being able to get my body to work properly, I twisted in the air until I could see a forest underneath me, approaching at an alarming rate. It was much too vibrant looking to be the Hollow Forest, which meant I had been transported elsewhere. That was all I was able to realize before my body slammed into the top of a tree and tore through it violently and painfully. The tree in question practically exploded where I hit it and fell down.
Landing on the ground created a deep crater, much like the one I made when I first arrived here. Unfortunately, this time, I wasn't in good shape. Excruciating pain could be felt from the entirety of my body. Lying there as I felt blood pooling in the dirt beneath me, I started to shuffle slightly to examine the wounds.
Blood poured from every spot the claws had pierced my body. It was a slow process. Much slower than it should've been for the size of the wounds. A chunk of wood was lodged in my lower abdomen from the tree. My arms were too heavy to move, and I felt myself fading fast. I tried to force myself awake, but I was quickly losing consciousness.
"God damnit, Farro..." Were the last words I said before I passed out.
*********
This weeks goal is going to be the same as last week! 800 Power Stones for the first Bonus Chapter and 850 for the second! I think we should be able to get it easily this week! With two full days left, we're well on track! Fingers crossed it happens! As usual, hope everyone is still enjoying the story! We're almost to the next arc! Look forward to it or read it now on my patre-on! Up to you! Later!The source of this content is N0veII_bIn
