BXBX NOVEL Chapter 26 Cure.
I was currently outside our Suite. And I was nervous as hell.
Why?
I was holding the potion that would cure Samantha And also a cake.
I was going to celebrate her birthday today.
5th of January. That was her birth date. Although it was 27th December A day before my birth date. So, Technically I should be celebrating my own was my birthday. But I couldn't celebrate her birthday when I am in Shield. Which was I was going to celebrate both of ours.
A day Before my actual birthday, And A few days before hers.
This was the last day that I could be with her.
Because tomorrow I had to go to the Shield Campus to my dorm. Official Classes would begin On 1st January, And accepted students were to be in their dorms a week before to get familiar with the campus. I was already on the verge of getting expelled before classes had even started. I had already received a notice from Shield to Come Or I would be expelled no matter what.
I opened the door.
Going inside, I could see that she was watching T.V. The Tv volume was loud so she didn't notice me.
I should surprise her.
Moving Slowly towards her. I stopped.
[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha tells you to not waste the potion on your sister]
'Waste? What are you talking about?'
I thought.
[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha tells you to use dragon eyes on Samantha Peccator]
What?
Why?
Although I still questioned her. I still did it.
A Supreme Dragon Has no reason to
utter bullshit.
'Dragon Eyes!'
And I regretted listening to her.
Because my sister's true condition was in front of me.

Splat!Bhuk!
The cake and potion fell to the ground.
The Cake was utterly ruined but the potion was still fine, A supreme-ranked potion was said to be encased in a bottle made up of glass far stronger than even iron.
But that was not in my mind right now.
I fell to my knees.
Samantha turned around, startled by the sudden noise. She saw me.
"Al? Are you okay?!"
She said while moving her wheelchair towards me.
"What happened?"
She asked.
I did not respond. I was too shocked to utter anything back.
But then Samantha moved. She wrapped her arms around my head and hugged me as best as she could in her wheelchair and said.
"There there, There's no need to cry over dropping a cake!"
...what?
Crying?
Unbeknownst to me. This body was shedding tears at what it saw with Dragon Eyes.
No.
'I' Was Shedding Tears.
*******
I had calmed down. Samantha was still hugging me and was humming.
Her humming was what calmed my mind.
"Hey Samantha, Let's go celebrate our birthdays."
"But it isn't today?"
"I know, the thing is that I have to go tomorrow to shield."
I said to her, But seeing the look of sadness in her eyes. I immediately said to her.
"Ahh! But don't worry, I promise to visit you whenever I get the chance! I've even arranged a caretaker for you!"
"...promise?"
Seeing her, I held my pinky finger out.
"Pinky promise! Now go wear some nice clothes, We're having a feast tonight!"
Our pinky fingers intertwined and she said joyfully.
"Ok!"
With that, she scooted off to her room in her wheelchair.
Starting at her departing figure. I thought.
'...Why didn't you tell me this sooner?'
[Supreme dragon of Lanesha Apologizes.]
Sigh.
Things had just gotten a lot complicated.
My sister
was cursed by the infamous Body Destroyer curse of a demon.
I had seen that symbol multiple times in the novel. It was among the three infamous incurable curses of the demons known to humanity.
The Body Destroyer Curse
The Mind Destroyer Curse
The Soul Breaking curse.
Among them, The body breaker curse was something a demon used to torture a specific part of the entire body of the victim.
In Samantha's case, It was her legs.
Contrary to what humanity thought. All three curses had been cured, Humanity just couldn't get them and neither knew about them.
For the Body breaker curse, Which was the simplest of the three.
An Elven Tear was required.
A cure that would rid the physical body of every disease.
I had no way to get them.
Whilst I was thinking. Samantha Finally came out of her room wearing a cute white dress.
Taking the handle of her wheelchair, We went out.
And I made sure to fulfill her every demand this time.
Despite her trying to act mature, She was still a child at heart.
Seeing her eyes that we're sparkling at various food items, I smiled.
Yet That Smile disappeared as soon as it came.
***
Laying on my bed, I was lost in my thoughts.
Mainly on how difficult the task to get full control of this body had gotten.
That was not me, It should have not been me.
I would never cry like that.
Never to someone 'I' had known for only a year.
This body...
This life had already been affecting me.
Should I Stop? Become an emotionless freak again?
Or live this new life to the fullest?
What should I do?
No matter what I thought, I was afraid.
Afraid that the moment I began to enjoy this life, it would end.
What could I do when I woke up in my world from a coma?
What would I do when the crushing pain of realizing the real world will never go the way I want it to?
I...
I was afraid.
Of everything vanishing the moment I started to enjoy myself.
As I was contemplating, The system rang.
[Happy Birthday To the Host!

[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha Wishes you a Happy Birthday]
[Supreme Dragon Of Chaos Suleras tells you that James Smith is dead]
'What do you mean.'
I said to the air. My mind had completely forgotten the first two messages the moment I read my name.
My original name.
[Supreme Dragon of Chaos Suleras tells you that you are not James Smith anymore.]
[Supreme Dragon of Ice Lanesha Tells you that 'You' Are now Allan Peccator.]
[Supreme Dragon Of Ice Lanesha hopes for you to forget about your previous life and enjoy this one.]
Forget? How could I forget that torture?
There was nothing good about it.
Except for my web tendencies, although even they were a detriment.
[Supreme Dragon Of Chaos Suleras tells you to forget James Smith and live as Allan Peccator.Enjoy this life.]
Enjoy huh. I could never forget that torture, That trauma no matter what you put me through. But this life, To enjoy it?
'Guess that's worth a shot.'
