The sound of being carried away prevailed in lumian's ears . Next pain hit him hard .
In instinct Lumian called upon his Soothing.
It's effect felt inferior than before . Pain still ransacked much and his body felt heavy . He could not do more as he found his essence essentialy empty .
Awakening to his senses of survival . He tried to assess his situation . His aching body refused to listen to him . Atlast he opened his eyelids . What met him was a dark sky . A women slowly carried.
'Sara' Lumian spoke the name of the person who was carrying . Yet nothing came manage to come out of his tired body .As his eyelids closed again drowning his vision in darkness .
....
Once again lumian tried to open his eyes . What met his vision was Sara . Her eyes showed Dark circles he had not seen before . Her hand caressed his hair .
Seeing him open his eyes Sara showed qn expression of extreme relief and joy .
Now finally able to speak .
He questioned with effort " What happened "
Sara spoke in a slow tone " You fainted after defeating that creature . I had managed to defeat the other minions after that I carried you here "
" Your body is too full of injuries so sat at rest here , Don't move I'll bring you some food "
She then went somewhere out of Lumian's current field of vision . Lumian once again assesed his current condition.
He removed his blanket
He noticed that his injuries had been bandaged and the blood wiped .
With his essence somewhat recovered he used Soothing to numb a significant portion of the constant pain and to make the injuries heal faster.
'Wait where is my Cloak " After some thought he called upon it . A grayish blue Cloak materialized and draped over his body .
A summoned memory continuously consumed essence although not noticeable figure even if summoned for a long time . Since my essence was drained . It was probably desummoned . As relief sighed him another thought.
" Wait so I was naked when I passed out , No" he relieved at the fact that today he had made and wore himself a jungle made underwear under his clothes .
" But still I was essentially naked and carried here huh ....." As Lumian blushed .
Another Thought crept up
" Wait when did we get a blanket in the jungle , he looked at the piece of clothing that had been draped over him .
'Furrr. That's Sara's coat ' only then did he remember that Sara was wearing those jungle made clothes while driving her coat over him to keep him warm in the cold .
Soon Lumian's mind cleared as he used his Soothing on his mind .
I remember receiving a Memory from that creature .
He quickly checked his runes .

Memories- ************************************
************************************************
Did I not get a memory ? As his eyes continued examining his runes . He noticed the part of Echoes.
There was it written
Echoes: - [Hopping Burrower]
He had actually recieved an Echo . Something rare and far more priceless than what a Dormant Memory Of the Fifth tier would be .
He heard sound of footsteps . According to his notice he had been layed behind a rock in what seemed like a cave .
Soon he heard footsteps . Sara approached with a wooden bowl in hand . A delicious smell reached Lumian's nose. After their decision to journey together Sara had taken over the responsibility to cook . Even though Lumian knew how to cook decent food , As she cooked better the responsibility was handed over to her .
She passed him the bowl saying " I cooked some food from those rabbits "
He took the bowl and said " I recieved an echo from killing that tyrant "
A moment shock prevailed on her face before it returned to normal .
" I forgot " She said moving in quick she went and got him a pretty big soul shard .
" It's from that tyrant. " She said .
" You can take it , It would have been lost if you didn't procure it and I already got an Echo " Lumian said , Considering it a natural thing for taking care of him
" I already took the previous two memories, got lots of soul shards and also revieved a new memory You should take it " She said
Lumian didn't retort . Taking the shard and crushing it immediately.
With tons of essence entering his soul . He felt refreshed .
He then said " You can take your coat back , I am able to summon my coat "
Without saying anything she took the coat .
________________________________________
Two days had passed .
" I am finally fully recovered "
Most of time in the past few days had passed in silence . Their progress had halted . With them having to stay in place because of Lumian's injuries .
Today they had finally departed . Traveling to another Island .
Lumian and Sara traversed with caution very on alert from a ambush from a nightmare creature .
Their journey continued some Dormant beasts and monsters blocking their path were cut down .
They were using The Echo as a scout for their path.
As Lumian and Sara walked along a tree line . A creature was on their field of vision . A lion like creature relatively not too big . Ran toward them beating its ferocious claws .
Once becoming Awakened. Every human got the ability to discern a nightmare creatures Rank. It was a Awankened Beast .
Lumian was fortunate that he was not yet forced to fight an awakened creature yet . They had been transported into a relatively safe part of the Chained Isles.
In fact for other than few rare cases and the overpowered baboons at the forgotten shore . It was not the norm for sleeper to take on Awakened or Fallen creatures . They generally had to deal with only Dormant ones .
The echo he had could not see every threat and now they had to face that beast .
Lumian made his echo relatively near him draw closer . With a Dormant Tyrant echo , and two powerful sleepers he believed they could take it down.
As the beast approached . Lumian's bunny echo bounced on and arrived . Lumian fastened his spear and Sara prepared with cutlass in hands and power in legs .
A showdown began .
