As Fein and Imeng prepared to embark on their journey to the mountain, the inn owner approached them, his expression filled with both gratitude and concern. He hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to speak.
"Excuse me, Imeng," the inn owner began, his voice tinged with apprehension. "I have a favor to ask of you before you leave."
Imeng turned his attention to the inn owner, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "Of course, what can I do for you?"
The inn owner took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly. "Last night, when I had that heart attack, you cast a spell on me to heal me. I just wanted to make sure... there won't be any complications or side effects."
Imeng's features softened with reassurance as he placed a comforting hand on the inn owner's shoulder. "I understand your concern. Rest assured, the spell I casted on you was meticulously crafted and foolproof. There won't be any complications."
The inn owner's face relaxed, a mixture of relief and gratitude washing over him. "Thank you, Imeng. I trust in your abilities, but it's a weight off my chest to hear you say that."
Imeng nodded, his eyes conveying sincerity. "You have my word. I would never take the well-being of others lightly."
Fein observed the exchange between Imeng and the inn owner, his gaze shifting from one to the other.
The inn owner let out a sigh of relief, a weight visibly lifted from his shoulders. "I can't express how grateful I am for your help. You've saved my life, and I won't forget that."
Imeng offered a humble smile, his voice laced with humility. "It was my duty to assist. We're all part of this journey together, and I'm glad I could make a positive difference."
With the inn owner's concerns addressed, Fein and Imeng resumed their preparations to leave. As they gathered their belongings, Fein couldn't help but feel a renewed sense of admiration for his mentor. Imeng, although low profile, Fein who knows his secrets knew how powerful he was. No... He doesn't even know the true depths of his mentor's power. Despite this, Imeng doesn't have arrogance or the aura of powerhouse on him. Rather, he looks kind and harmless to both humans, demons and animals.
But for Fein, it was what made Imeng more dangerous. Sometimes, or most of the times... Those silent people are fiercest and the most terrible kind.
The inn owner watched as Fein and Imeng made their final preparations, gratitude etched across his features. "Good luck on your journey, both of you."
...
"Imeng, I have something important to tell you," Fein began, his voice filled with a mixture of hesitation and determination. "In my previous life, I was a doctor."
Imeng's eyes widened in surprise, his curiosity piqued. "A doctor? That's quite unexpected, Fein. Tell me more."
Fein took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the path ahead. "Last night, as I observed the inn owner, I noticed symptoms of a terminal illness related to the heart. It reminded me of a similar condition I encountered countless times in the human world."
Imeng look at Fein. "But what is specifically the terminal illness that the inn owner have? What is its symptoms? How does it work?
Fein paused for a moment, considering Imeng's questions. He took a deep breath before responding, his voice steady and measured.
"The specific terminal illness that the inn owner suffers from is known as 'Cardiac Endosis.' It is a progressive condition that affects the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. Over time, the heart weakens, leading to a multitude of symptoms and complications."
Imeng's gaze focused intently on Fein, his curiosity urging him to learn more. "Tell me, Fein, what are the symptoms of this condition? How does it manifest?"
Fein's expression grew somber as he began to explain. "Cardiac Endosis presents itself through a range of symptoms. It often starts with fatigue and shortness of breath during physical exertion. As the disease progresses, the individual may experience chest pain, irregular heartbeats, and swelling in the ankles and legs due to fluid retention."
Imeng nodded, his understanding deepening with each word. "And how does Cardiac Endosis affect the body? What are the underlying mechanisms at play?"
Fein's eyes took on a determined gleam as he delved into the intricacies of the illness. "Cardiac Endosis disrupts the heart's normal functioning by impairing the pumping action. As a result, blood flow to vital organs and tissues is compromised, leading to a cascade of complications. The weakened heart struggles to supply adequate oxygen and nutrients to the body, resulting in fatigue, organ damage, and fluid accumulation."
Imeng's eyebrows furrowed, "Are you saying that the inn owner has a terminal illness?"
Fein nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, his condition is serious, but the spell you cast on him, the healing spell... Can it truly be effective even if its that worse?"
Imeng's face reflected a mix of confidence and determination as he spoke. "My young apprentice, my healing spell encompasses a wide range of ailments, even those considered terminal. It taps into the fundamental essence of life and channels it to restore balance and vitality. I have witnessed its efficacy time and again, and I have full faith in its abilities."
Fein's eyes widened, a glimmer of hope mingling with his concern. "Can you... tell me more about your healing spell? Its name, the symptoms it addresses, its effects, and the principles behind it?"
Imeng slowed his pace, giving Fein his full attention. His voice carried a sense of authority and wisdom as he shared his knowledge. "The healing spell I possess is known as 'Luminous Vitality.' It addresses a wide array of ailments, including terminal illnesses. Its energy penetrates the deepest layers of one's being, rejuvenating and repairing damaged cells and tissues. It restores harmony to the body, allowing it to heal and regenerate."
Fein listened intently, absorbing every word, his eyes shining with a newfound understanding. "And the principles behind it? How does it work?"
Imeng's voice grew softer, his gaze distant yet focused. "The spell draws upon the inherent life force that flows through all living beings. It harnesses that energy, directing it to the affected areas, stimulating natural healing processes and removing obstacles that hinder recovery. It is a delicate dance between the magic and the body's own healing mechanisms, guiding them towards optimal restoration."
Fein nodded, a mixture of relief and admiration washing over him. "Imeng, this is truly remarkable. If your healing spell can alleviate even terminal illnesses, it holds immense potential to bring hope and healing to countless lives."
Imeng's eyes gleamed and couldn't help but sigh, his respect for his apprentice deepening. "Fein, I had no idea of your background as a doctor."
"I don't look like one right?" Fein flashed a mischievous grin which made Imeng laugh in turn.
