SWNOVELXO Chapter 11: Ch. 11 A reminder of your kindness
"I don't know... you were making a... weard face when.... I asked you to.. remove this strange.. energy from my body " she murmured. "So can you do it" her voice, though weak, remained earnest.
"Ooh, let me give it a try " Black said as he dismissed the previous thought and stretched his hand forward, touching the area that was wounded previously and had now completely healed. It was near her neck just slightly below her left shoulder.
Black Tried to will his mysterious energy in her body to leave but nothing happened. He tried it again but nothing happened. He repeating the same thing a few more time but the results didn't change.
Black could tell and feel his energy reacting to his commands to leave her body, he could even sense the mysterious energy moving towards his hand but at the last moment just before he could pull it out.
it would stop in it's track and return to normal as if something was preventing it from moving out.
Apparently Black didn't know the nature of his mysterious energy changes to a Berserk type when he uses it's *Dissonance* Trait, becoming more harder to commend, increasingly unpredictable and volatile after the energy has left his body.
His mastery over his mysterious energy had indeed reached beggener level but it had not reached the level where he can will his berserk energy to exit through her 'pours'.
Since her body had completely healed, there was no 'gap' in it where the mysterious energy could exit her body. As though Her own body was preventing the foreign energy from leaving from inside out , it was like asking a beggener level mage to extract water ten meter deep from the ground and the the earth itself was preventing the water form leaving. the mage would be able tell and sense the water underground, doesn't mean it would be able to extract it to.
"I can't pull the mysterious energy out of you, and if I tried to force it there was a chance I would injury you instead. I can only make it so you won't stuttere every time you speak, I'm sorry "
he couldn't understand why he couldn't will his energy to leave her body. It was the first time he had failed at something Since his birth, how can he not control something that is a part of him. He felt pathetic and miserable.
As the wolf stared at Black's miserable expression, she decided to change the topic. Thinking in a hour or two her body's natural system would have delt with it and she would again be able to move. There was no danger to her life at least for the moment.
By looking at his expression again she could tell he never had any intention to kill her, she must have missed it previously because her mind was in chaos thinking only of ways to save her life and the shock of being paralysed didn't hepl it either.
"Don't worry about it, so what were you asking me, something about my name " she said, her voice now a melodious whisper that seemed to resonate within his very core.
"Right, I wanted to know what I should call you by since you are the first person I am talking to since my birth so I wanted to get close to you that's why I asked you name "
"You were also so strong, being able to battel me even while being weaker then me if I didn't have this mysterious energy with me then I am sure you would killed me" he said as he summoned a translucent ball of light grey color energy on his right hand using his second trait.
"Right, what is this 'mysterious energy' that you call it. I have never seen something like this " she said as she started at that grey color mass of floating energy with her amber eyes in apprehension. At first she was alarmed when Black suddenly summoned that bolb of energy thinking maybe he really was trying to harm her but after a second thought she relaxed if he really wanted to harm her he wouldn't be talking to her in such enthusiasm, he even forgot all about his first failure.
"I don't know what this mysterious energy is either, I was just born with it but some how I know that it is related to the concept of *Dissonance* it is what caused you become paralysed after all". She didn't even need to ask him anything to know he told her everything he knew.
"It's such a strange thing to born with!! But it's strength is undeniable so I won't comment on that. Anyway you were asking my name right " Despite the danger he represented, she found herself feeling a strange kinship with him.
"Yes" he said, his voice firm.
"A name huh , I don't have that" she answered with a emotionless tone as if she didn't care about having an identify of her own.
"What ,you don't have a name, evan I...gave myself one. So,why...don't you do the same. I can't keep addressing you as 'you' all the time". Black replied, a little shocked she didn't have a name. It was something that defined his existence that he was not some mindless creature. how can one live without even knowing there own existence.
"I don't know what should I call myself by. For as long as I can remember I've only know what's inside these dark wall and only have some small recollection of the outside world from the inherited memory I received when I evolved into a Hurricane wolf.... so why don't you give me one.....a Name that is" she replied, her voice a soft caress against the cold gloomy air. she didn't know when but even she got swept up in his rhythm totally forgetting her current predicament.
"You are asking me to give you a name." he asked, his voice steady.
"Yes, since you have defeated me and spared me in Battle. Name me, and I shall carry that name with me, a reminder of your kindness." she whispered, The wolf's voice, though still weak, had taken on a melodic quality that seemed to resonate within his very soul
The weight of the moment settled heavily upon Black's shoulders. He had never encountered anything like this before,The air between them grew thick with unspoken words and unanswered questions. The unpleasant sounds of the darkness enshrouded them grew distant as Black contemplated her offer.
As Black saw her eyes searched his, the raw vulnerability in her gaze was impossible to ignore and the yearning for companionship that had been gnawing at his heart tugged at him with a force he had never felt before.
Finally, he made his choice. "I name you...
