The Soul Retrial :Arc 1(Novel)
“There you are my lovely,” said Maggie.
A boy with blonde hair messy and a long ahoy stepped through the door ,the stench was gruesome. His clothes worn down like he’s worn them for years and his pale green tired eyes glances at the childish motherly woman.
Maggie smiles as she looked at him her long green hair resting on to her seat and her pink piercing eyes glared .It shook the young man:The young boy could already predict what was going to happen.
“Hey …um.”,Volair stuttered.
Maggie suddenly read his emotions just from the looks of his exhausted look but everytime he grew stronger but day by day he was weaker.
“Are you scared?”, Maggie questioned “am I dangerous to you.”
“No, not at all!”Volair immediately answered.
”You seem inconveniently tired lovely,” she said with a face of concern,”my lap is a bit comfy you can use it as a pillow.”
“It’s fine I don’t need a pillow I’ve got a blanket in my room,”Volair explained, avoiding any danger.
Suddenly, a vein shot out from her back as she asked for a confirmed .Volair body just twitched and he immediately nodded .It was either suffering till the maggots where gone or it was straight up death.Volair took shaky steps towards Maggie as Maggie took her hand off her lap. Volair hesitantly placed his head on her lap staring at the the night sky through the clear glass window.Volair couldn’t sleep already predicted what will happen. A maggot crawled out of Maggie hand as she hovers her hands over his ear .
“It’s been the 130th maggot since he was five his organs are still intact and functioning though there’s signs of internal damage in his lungs and his brain. Do expect him to survive this it’s rare to have a two marks I wonder what type of power he holds once he has developed. I shouldn’t be thinking of that, he’s getting weaker and soon die .” Maggie thought to herself.
Volair felt a sharp pain in his ear but couldn’t react nor resist .He was used to this ,every person he lost even every maggot that had eaten through his body was almost at it’s limits.Volair had excuses himself for the second this time Maggie smirked whispering,”I guess I’ll be alone again .”
Before Volair could walk out Maggie caught his attention once more.
“You’re the last one standing,”Maggie informed,”So,behave.”
Volair dismissed with out any answer .This current life was so miserable even death was more preferable.Without a curse he was incurable he was doomed he was gradually coming closer to death.

He made it to the rock solid bed set in a fixed formation with only on with his blanket. The breeze from the wind was gentle like a warm touch slowly blowing his blanket off the table and a draw filled with moss,bodily fluids and belongings that worth nothing.The stench was gruesome but Volair had smelled it too many times for it to be unusual.His feet touched the freezing ground walking small steps to the brick bed .
His head lays on the solid rock then creak. There he saw a young boy around his 17s with an unusual plain white shirt . His Navy blue jacket smelt like a dusty book. He wore matching knee-length shorts showing his bruise legs almost like he's been climbing over mountain. There fear and guilt he had made his skin turn pale his deep dark brown pupil shrank.As the wind made his light brunette hair swayed from the window outside. The wretched smell flew into his nose as he tries to keep his stomach in control. Volair tries to speak but the boy spoke first.
“Sorry Sorry!"the boy said,"I was hungry and-"
"There's nothing to loot, thief, "Volair informed look disappointed.
Suddenly, he violently coughed in pain as blood spattered on too his hand.The boy looked shooken and immediately ran up to check on him.
“Your coughing blood!,”he shouted ,”Are you ok,nah that’s a stu-,”
Volair replied “I’m fine.”
Immediately ,The boy grabbed his dirty blood stained shirt pulling his face near his.
Starring him down with worried eyes the boy questioned if he was ok. Volair immediately tried to speak but again the boy was in full panic mode .The boy shouted to his face,”don’t lie to me!”
Volair replied exhaustively“you just asked a question and I answered it.”
The boy had suddenly remembered the power he learnt by someone called system and immediately thought to test it on Volair.
“Hey I know how to heal you!”the boy said looking a Volair.
Volair guessed it was some healing power as the boy slapped his hand on to his shoulders.
”you even listing”
The boy shouted ,”hipakei!”
As the system confirmed to kill off the maggots ,Volair felts different with no aches and nor fatigue .
"How did you?," volair questions while he stared at his hands the dead maggot popped out of the palm of his hands.
"There were dead maggot in your collarbone area and arms,but I was able to kill it!"the boy informed.
Volair looks at his head noticing there’s was no mark not even a a mark other than a flower just nothing .
“You have no mark I’ve only just realised it,” Volair said .
“Mark? You have two ! When I saw from the roof everyone had a flower on their head!”the boy ,offended, replied.
Volair informs,”well if you have parents have different mark you only get one from both parents,but somehow I got two.”
The boy looks at him not knowing how to reply stares at him.
Volair responded ,”what,explain your situation then theif.”
The boy replied,”I got hit by a car I think and now I’m here !”
Volair confused and concerned .Car? What did that mean?
The exhaustionn hits the boy he didn’t want to disturb the young boy and excused himself to an exit,the window.Volair immediately told him to stop like this was the last goodbye.He handed a note the paper smelling like bodily fluids and the ink was a very strong scent.
