Chapter 41
🕑 Added 2025-04-11 10:29:45 +0000 UTCI woke with something resting on my, her little hands hugging me with all of her little strength, thinking that if she were to let go for even a second, I would disappear like everything she held dear in her life before being kidnapped.
Obsidian was resting on my side, his little head popping out from under the covers, cutely yawning when he felt I was awake. Ivy, being the mom of the group, was caressing both Obsidian and Mary to make them calm down and sleep well.
I felt fulfilled in feeling Mary's new limbs, in seeing her smile while sleeping, the nightmares she always had during her sleep seemingly gone, the phantom pain that made her limbs twitch while she slept now just a memory I hope will never remember.
Feeling me move, her little eyes opened with grogginess, as she rubbed her eyes, I saw how her hands were still pale, as if they had never seen the sun before, which was true in some way.
She saw my eyes open and smiling at her, and showed me the biggest smile she had since I had saved her, my heart melted, obsidian getting up from the bed and jumping up and down all over it, his energy now back to full as he felt ready to play with his best friend.
Mary saw Obsidian and smiled, thanks to the effect of Bloody heal I hadn't just restored her limbs, what should have taken months of physical exercise to make her able to once again move like normal had taken just seconds thanks to the spell, the muscles that atrophized now were filled with energy and life, it being showed by her laugh as she chased Obsidian.
Getting up, I smiled at the scene, Ivy closely following the two to make sure neither got hurt, I heard her laugh fill my ears, it felt like the best sound in the world, and I had helped create that sound, me.
I felt my eyes try to get wet, but I steeled myself and got up; the feeling of someone at the door waiting for me didn't escape my senses.
" It's nice to see you awake" The Ancient One smiled while speaking, the worry that he had felt when I fainted creeping into each of his words.
" I might have pushed myself a bit too much."
" You almost erased yourself from this world, I am quite sure that is beyond a 'bit too much'."
" What do you mean?"
" Your powers, your control over certain elements, they were being pushed beyond anything you had ever done. I am sure you saw the damage you were causing to your surroundings, the world was scared of your disappearance, I am sure quite a lot of disasters would have happened if you had continued doing what you were doing."
" What was I doing anyway?"
" You took control over your powers."
" I am sorry, what?"
" Your powers are something that is beyond anyone's understanding, you are not someone able to grow faster and stronger then others, you can make something that never happened happen, you can rewrite the fabric of reality so that it helps you grow more than any others, you can make yourself able to do something you were never able to do before, that's what you did, you rewrote reality so that you became able to heal her."
" And I imagine that is not something at my level of power that should be able to do."
" Your payment for doing that would have been your life, but I was able to pay the price instead of you, which took a big chunk of magical materials to pay for."
"... Thank you, I will be sure to repay you", I said while looking at the ground, knowing that someone sacrificed a lot to help me made me feel strange.
" Adrian, not everything has to be repaid. I helped you because I care for you, I do not wish to see a stupid child die because he wanted to help someone." His smile became warmer as he touched my back.
I said nothing, looking at Mary and Obsidian playing as Ivy made food for the two.
" I will leave now, try to rest for now, training can wait."
I stopped myself from retorting and instead simply nodded, making him smile even more as he walked away, leaving me with the small group, whom I call family.
Having a moment for myself, I decided to check up on the growth of my healing spell; the feeling I had from it changed significantly.

'Guess my powers helped me this time, I am not sure I would have been able to create such a spell otherwise.'
My focus shifted to a new notification warning me of an incoming call.
Taking the phone out, I saw an unknown number and I answered it after figuring out who the caller was.
" Hey John." A masculine voice, I recognized as belonging to Johnny Storm, came from the other side of the call.
" Hey, what's up? Need another hand for an alien invasion?"
" Nah, we are throwing a party at the new Fantastic 4 tower, and we wanted to invite you to thank you for the help."
'Well, I guess I can take some rest.'
" When is it?"
"Tonight."
" A little bit of warning next time would be nice."
" Hey, I forgot, ok?"
I am quite sure he felt my face through the call because he started laughing.
" Anyway, sure I can come, same location as last time?"
"Yes, sir, I am waiting for your arrival. I am sure you will like meeting Spider-Man."
" Sorry, what?"
The call ended before I received an answer, which annoyed me even more, but I just sighed and looked at Mary.
" Mary, would you like to see snow?"
Her screams of joy made my ears almost bleed.
