Limits. Limits Chapter 197

Yagaroths were water based creatures, land, was not their domain . Yet, I couldn't lose them . Even worse, the distance was getting shorter . 'I'm not far away from the location, of my hidden bag with the Yellow Dust . I just need to retrieve it and then… End everything' I thought . The Avians were relentlessly trying to slow me down, I decided not to stop and shoot anymore . This would only shorten the distance between me and Yagaroths .

My set of clothes became rags at this point, it offered almost no protection . The Formations placed on the set, seemed to weaken or disappeared completely . 'I can already see the location, just a bit more!' I thought and ran, like never before .

When I finally arrived at the place, where my bags were hidden, I quickly dug them up and opened one . The Yellow Dust started pouring out . The amount created a small hill, when the bag became completely empty, I threw it to the side and placed the other bag onto my shoulders, then ran .

When the Avians saw the mountain of Yellow Dust, they instantly stopped . Some started retreating, while other waited in the air, scared to approach . The Yagaroth army was getting closer to the pile of Yellow Dust, while Avians tried to make them retreat, but no Yagaroth listened . When I was about 300 metres away, I took out a cloth and wrapped it tightly around an arrow . With the arrow prepared, I lit it .

When the Avians saw this, they gave up any attempts of persuading the Yagaroths to retreat, and fled as far as they could . The Yagaroths got closer and closer to the pile, and thought nothing of it . None of them stopped or retreated . 'This is your doom' I thought . I took aim, and shot my arrow . "Swoosh!" . The arrow flew through the air, and landed in the pile of Yellow Dust .

"BOOOOOOOOM!"

The moment I released the arrow, I started running again . The blast from that explosion, would be much more severe, than the one I released upon the whole horde of Corpse Dogs . When the arrow arrived, the sky lit up and became bright from the explosion, my ears rang and hurt a lot . Then the blast of hot air hit me . "UGHHHH!!"

I flew through the air like a rag doll . I almost lost consciousness, due to the impact alone . I was alive, thanks to the distance, but also because, I turned around at a last possible moment and shielded my body, using my arms and legs . My arms were broken and scorched, from the impact . Fortunately, the bones didn't shatter and only broke .

When I finally landed, the sole protection on my back, was the added armour in my clothes . Thankfully, it survived the attacks of Avians . The first impact slowed me down, but I didn't stop and bounced back into the air . I bounced like this couple of times, then finally stopped . "Cough . . . " I coughed out some blood . The pain was real, my arms broken and I had difficulty breathing . My legs were not broken, but hurt like h.e.l.l and were also charred . I couldn't pick myself up whatsoever .

Frosty transformed into corporeal form, and quickly started using its breath, to freeze some parts of my body . 'That lizard is not stupid at all, coldness can decrease my pain but also preserve the wounds' I praised Frosty in my mind . 'But, Frosty also suffered some damages . I can see scorched marks on it, as well as some bruises' I thought . When I looked at the place, that used to contain an army of Yagaroths, there was a huge pit in the ground . The skies and land, were clear of any living creature, there was nothing in sight, but the pit .

I asked Frosty with some difficulty "Can . . . you . . . take out . . . some . . . medicine . . . from my bag? Ugh" . Frosty stopped and nodded its head, quite worried . After a while, Frosty showed me all the bottles, I had in my bag . I pointed with my eyes "Give me this on to drink, I need to recover fast" . Frosty opened my mouth and poured in the medicine . I looked at another bottle and said "Smear this one on me, it will allow my wounds to heal faster" .

Frosty did whatever I asked it to do, without complaints . After about 15 minutes of resting, I could see something flying in the air . 'These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds are back . I need to leave, now!' I thought and slowly picked myself up . Although my legs hurt like h.e.l.l, I still managed to stand up . I said "Let's go, we need to leave . The Avians are coming" . Frosty nodded and followed after me, it didn't return to my hand, as a tattoo .

While walking away, I said to myself "Wait you f.u.c.king birds, when I break through the Inner Limit, your race is doomed!" and left in a hurry . The Avians didn't chase me anymore, they simply flew in circles, around that huge pit, created by the explosion . I limped forwards, while Frosty acted as my support . I couldn't use my hands, so anything I needed, Frosty had to take care of it . I was glad to have Frosty with me, it never complained about doing anything for me . It knew, how much everything hurt me .

While we walked, I said "Thank you . It seems, I needed you more, than you needed me" . Frosty shook its head and made some noises, then smiled . I thought 'Maybe both of us need each other' . We walked for a long time, until I wasn't able to see the Vulture Cliffs in the distance .

I said to Frosty "Let's take a break, I will need you to treat my arms . But don't worry, I will tell you want to do" . Frosty nodded its head, but I could see that it was afraid a bit . I told Frosty the instructions of healing my broken arms, and explained what medicine to use . Frosty was an intelligent lizard, it remembered all the steps, so we went straight to the point .

"Begin with my right arm first . You need to locate the broken bone, and then align them . This will hurt me no doubt, but just focus on the task, don't worry about me" . Frosty nodded with determination and started the procedure . The 1st try was unsuccessful . I screamed in pain "AGH! It's wrong! Try again!" .

Frosty's confidence disappeared after the failure, but it still tried its best . After a while of agonising pain, Frosty finally managed to align the bones properly . "Haah… . Haaah… Now . . apply the medicine . . then wrap it… with sticks…" I had to take breaks when speaking due to the pain . Frosty applied the medicine, then wrapped my whole arm using cloth and sticks .

After some time, the pain subdued and I could finally think straight . "That was the 1st arm, the left one is next . But before we do anything, let me rest . I want to have a breather from that pain" . Frosty took out some meat from the bag and brought it to me . I said "It's raw, I don't eat raw stuff… . I need to make fire" . Frosty Shook its head and pointed at itself . I said "You want to make fire? Hmm, alright, I will teach you" .

I continued "There are a few way to make a fire . I will show you the easier way . There is a flint in my bag . When you sc.r.a.pe it with metal, it will produce sparks . I also have some dried leaves and gra.s.s, that can be used to start the fire . You will also need some sticks or branches on top of the dried gra.s.s or leaves, in order for them to caught fire and sustain the burning process . Try it out, it's not that hard with that special flint" .

Frosty nodded and took out all the things required to make fire . I then tried the flint and managed to create some sparks . After a few trials and errors, Frosty managed to light the fire by itself . I said "Good job! Who know, maybe I will teach you more things, like the Art of Medicine . You can use your hands just like human can, although you have less fingers, so learning the Art of Medicine, shouldn't be that difficult for you" .

Frosty had mixed feeling about that . I said "You don't want to learn? I'm not forcing you, but imagine if we are in similar situation in the future . If you knew how to do all those things, you could treat me without my instructions" . Frosty thought about it and nodded its head .

I said "I'm not going to teach you everything, if you don't want . I can only teach you the necessary knowledge . For example, how to make medicine, or which herbs to collect . How to treat simple wounds or broken joints, stuff like that" . Frosty then nodded again, it seemed that it wanted to learn the basics only . 'The basics are good enough . If I happen to faint, Frosty will be able to start fire, make medicine or treat me, in case of emergency' I thought .

I then taught Frosty, how to roast the meat . While I was fed by Frosty, I explained some basics, about medicine making and treatment . Of course, while my mouth wasn't full . With that, we rested for some time and chatted, or rather I talked and Frosty listened, until I decided to go to sleep and rest properly . 'I need to sleep a bit, before Frosty attempts to repair my 2nd arm . I'm not a great fan of pain' I thought and closed my eyes . Yagaroths were water based creatures, land, was not their domain . Yet, I couldnt lose them . Even worse, the distance was getting shorter . Im not far away from the location, of my hidden bag with the Yellow Dust . I just need to retrieve it and then… End everything I thought . The Avians were relentlessly trying to slow me down, I decided not to stop and shoot anymore .
