Elijah was stunned with fear, in front of him was a white bear with deep blue eyes. why is a bear here? he thought to himself, in that moment he tried to back away but he noticed something, nobody was looking at the bear..it was like no one could see it but him.
To test this Elijah raised his hands then shouted"I am a Bear!" Everyone gocked at him with surprised expressions, no one seemed to be scared or in fright of the beast, ..i am the only one that can see it! Elijah mind grew frantic, if he was the only one that could see it then who would save him from the beast?.
while in thought the beast swing down with its paw to Elijah right rib, before he knew it the attack had already reached, he braced himself for the impact but ..nothing he felt nothing?, was that some sort of faint? Elijah inquired, in the next second he felt a heavy force clashing against his right rib, he fell to his knees closely gripping his rib.
passersby looked at Elijah they wanted to come over to see if he needed help but an unknown aura stopped them so they went along their way, Is that one of its ability? he inquired, the beast pulled back its arm ready for the next swing, Elijah used all of his strength to get up but he feared he would not make it in time but he still pulled through.
Elijah rose off the floor then used all of his strength to bolt out of kings street, he focus was on running he even forgot to pick up the clothes that he bought for 6 sliver coins Elijah was nearing the church when he tripped on himself, in a quick motion Elijah turned his body to face the beast, it jumped at Elijah he braced himself for the pain but nothing happened, he looked up to see a tall young man he had wavy brown hair and blue eyes.
Elijah recognized the man to be the bishop that showed him to his room "what did you do?" the man inquired with a deep voice, Elijah was stumped by the question.
Elijah looked at the bear, it looked like is was afraid of something. Elijah inquired" what did you do to it?" the man looked at Elijah with a death stare, A slight chill went down his spine as the man opened another jar filled with a purple liquid "the white bear is a spirit creature known as Verloren, they are creatures that search for any lost item for their master, so i will ask again what did you steal?" the man asked in a deep voice Elijah got up from his feet then recounted what had happen before he was attacked.
the man nodded then said "are you a cheapskate?" the man asked, Elijah replied with a tinge of confusion "no, she was selling used clothes, at best that should at least cost 8 pence" the man had an annoyed expression on his face, "i don't even know why i saved you in the first place.." the man opened another jar then threw it on Elijah.
"what the hell man" he cursed, the man shrugged at Elijah in a few seconds Elijah rib was no longer in pain the man said"lets go pay that shop owner a visit" the bear roared at them in a few seconds the man bolted away from the bear Elijah did not react for a few seconds then he realized that the man had run away.
Elijah bolted after him, the bear stayed in the same place growling at the air, in a few minutes Elijah manged to catch up with the man they looked at the broken down store, the inside smelled like a rooting corpse , the clothes looked like it came out from the garbage bin and the old man at the front desk looked to be dead, the man looked over at Elijah then said"now that i see the place,… i can understand why you did that, i would have down the same thing" he said under a hushed tone. Elijah's gaze meet a woman hazel eyes, she walked out of the shadow then greeted them in a grimace voice
"welcome!, did you come back after finding that no other store has better deals then ours?" Elijah was about to reject but the man stopped him "did you also bring a friend?" the woman asked, her eyes beaming at Elijah for his reply , the man spoke up with a humble tone "Yes, he told me about this place, i just knew i had to come here!" the man spoke with a hyper tone , Elijah could barely make out the man's features because of the dark but he could see that he had a slight grin, the woman smiled then added"shop till your wallet drop OK!" the woman said, what's with her attitude earlier she was not like this at all.
the two circled the shop Elijah picked out a simple suit while the man pulled out a green long sleeve shirt, after picking out what they wanted the two cashed out the price for it was five pounds the man paid up with a wide smile, the two left the store, they walked for a while then the man said in a serious tone "dispose of the clothes, they have been corrupted with insanity and diseases" Elijah wore a puzzled expression but he still complied.
"What Exactly is wrong with the clothes" Elijah asked while he handed the clothes over to the man, the man wore a large black coat underneath that was a gray short sleeve shirt, he wore a gray jeans pants this type of fashion had became popular in recent years,he dug into his black coat , he took out a black bottle he opened it then poured all of its contents on to the clothes. in a few seconds the clothes erupted into black flames.
Elijah starred at the black flames, he felt a close connection to it so close to the point he wanted to touch it but the man stopped him then said"this is one of my abilities potion making, each potion i make has varying effects ones can heal, create barriers and destroy corruption but on a small scale, i want you to head back to the church and call Punishing force Bargi will understand, tell him that Cassian sent you" Elijah nodded then he walked to the church he observed the fair not because he was interested it was because he was afraid the bear would show up again.
