Seeing that the girl in his arms did not respond to him, Deivid began to worry more than he should that he was already there.
“Hey Sisi, are you sure she's okay? It doesn't look like she's okay!
“According to his recollection, she just went through a traumatizing experience, how strange it would be that she was fine”
“Can you also read her memories?”
“Of course, if it weren't like that, I wouldn't be able to ensure that the servant is loyal to you.”
“…She's fine, anyway, do you have any idea how to solve this situation?”
“There are two ways, the first and riskiest is for you to console her and try to keep her from worrying loses in her own inner demons and the second, but it is more reasonable for her to alter the memories of her so that she does not remember her traumas.”
Just as Deivid was weighing between the two options, Judith came to herself and began to cry while she threw herself at the bodies of her parents.
-Ahhh, Mom! Dad!
Seeing the girl in front of him heartbroken, Deivid extended his arm towards her only to stop halfway and put it back down while she watched the whole scene and put it away silence, the cries of a poor young woman being the only ones to be heard throughout the city.
“Do not touch her memories, even if they are bad, if they are missing she will always be incomplete, It's better that she get over this moment."
Judith continued to cry and wail until the sunlight began to set and the city was enveloped by the mantle of night.
Only then was she able to calm down and think with some clarity.
-I know it's a lot to ask, but... could you help me give them a proper burial?
Nodding his head Deivid stood up and picked up Clay's body which was a Little he stiffened and put it on his back, although his body weighed almost twice as much as hers, Deivid couldn't help but It was difficult for him to carry it, although it seemed strange to him, he left the questions about the matter for later.
-Where do you plan to bury them?
-In the patio of my house, follow me, it's a few blocks from here.
Judith took the body of her mother and began to lead the way towards her house.
“Sisi, do you know how her parents died?”
“Yes, the story goes like this…”
After arriving at some ruins which seemed to be of a house, Judith got two shovels plus two half-broken lanterns from some rubble, and both began to dig two graves, separated by only half a meter from each other.
-This is enough, thank you for helping me.
Just when Deivid was going to take the bodies to place them in the fresh graves, Judith He stepped forward to stop Deivid with a smile that seemed more like a cry than a smile.
-Let me help you, it will be a form of respect on my part towards the Elders.
Deivid decided to refer to Judith's parents as older showing respect for what They were in the days of her life and not because they were Judith's parents.
Judith, realizing her intentions, did not say anything and just nodded, showing her agreement, after which they both proceeded to bury the bodies, and give a short prayer followed by a bow to the graves.
Deivid stood to the side and began to look for wood and stones to build some crosses while he listened to the silent sobs of Judith who continued with her reverence and her tearful gaze on the new graves.
After the crosses were made and both placed on the graves with their respective names, Deivid placed a piece of wood in the center between both graves with a writing of somewhat crooked letters that said.
“Here lie excellent Fathers and Patriots.”
After calming down a little and seeing the gesture made by Deivid Judith gave him a look of gratitude.
-Thank you.
-Don't mention it, we should find a place to spend the night and leave this place by the morning.
Nodding her head in agreement, Judith took one last look at the Tombs before leaving with Deivid back to the liquor store.
During the entire way, no one spoke or asked anything, either because of the scene of the surroundings, or the smell of the bodies beginning to rot, but neither of them said anything Until the moment they arrived at the store, Judith was the first to speak.
-Thank you for all your help, my name is Judith, sorry for asking until now but... could you tell me your name?
-Of course, my name is Deivid.
-he... Are you from the medical palace?
-Medical palace?
Seeing Deivid's confused expression, Judith thought it was strange that she didn't know one of the 5 most prestigious palaces in the world.
-Isn't that right?... then how did you manage to heal my face and blood loss?
Hearing Judith's sudden question, Deivid didn't know what to say and stood still Silence for a moment, thinking about what he should say.
Seeing the pure eyes of the girl in front of him and remembering the story of Sisi and the situation where he found himself, he made a decision.
-This is going to be a strange story, you should sit down for a moment.
Hearing her words Judith thought it was a bit exaggerated, but she still sat down.
-Actually I didn't heal you, you see, I have a special ability that allows remodeling the body of a person and in the process every wound previously possessed will be healed, but for to do so, that person has to accept my shadow, which is basically shackles of slavery.
-Are you... Are you saying that I'm your slave now?
-No! Although at this moment my shadow is in you, you can really think and move for yourself, you have your own conscience and I will not force you to obey me.
-So can you take your shadow off of me?
-That is the problem, the extraction process requires energy and when finished it will cause it to fall in a three-day coma.
This was explained to him by Sisi, right after the funeral, in addition to the coma after the extraction process, the shadow would be lost due to its low level, although in the future may have more, even so the extraction would mean one less shadow in his arsenal, which It was the reason for her previous hesitation.
-And if I fall into a coma right now, I will surely die from dehydration, or it could be eaten by a beast.
-I see.
Hearing the potential risk, Judith understood why she couldn't remove the shadow from her, no She distrusted him after all if she really wanted to do something to him she wouldn't have waited until now or I would have helped him with the burial of her parents.
- We should try to sleep for today and rest a little, tomorrow we will go out sunset.
-Good.
They both leaned against the wall trying to get a meter close to each other and due to fatigue from all the events that have happened plus the long time awake and the tension added to the whole moment, they both fell asleep just after yawning a few times and closing his eyes.
-Good night.
-Goodnight.
