Hey guys! The author is here! I know there were like few days of nothing for you. I was busy with works that has been piled up.
Sadly I couldn't finish my quota of finishing two races a week with 'the scrooge brothers' and 'Lucarius and Conner'. I deeply apologize for the inconvenient. :;^^:
Here are the rough copy for you to see how it will look like before the Photoshop and the colors added.

Lucarius was again in the dark. HE thought that he finally died after being in this darkness for the fourth time. He just wished that the madness can finally stop. As he thought it was all over, a voice calls out to him. Inside the void of his mind, there stood another man. It seems that he is trying to say something to him but Lucarius couldn't hear him somehow. Then his consciousness seemed to be waking up.
When he woke up, he felt a pain coming from his chest and from his stomach. He groaned whenever he moved a little bit. As he got out of the bed, he observed the room and noticed he wasn't inside the dorm. He groaned in protest since he knew that it wasn't a dream. Lucarius joked to himself that this time he is going to be eaten alive by some animal people.
As he was thinking on how to escape the door to the room opened. There stood the girl that he rescued. She was surprised to see him awake but recovered quickly and gave a wide grin.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Before Lucarius woke up, back at the cave)
The girl cried out as she seen the young man bleeding out. She was not expecting for this to happen. She will not see another person die. The other demi-human arrives beside her. He looks at the young man lying on the floor. He knows that most likely he would die before they can treat his wounds.
He looks at the girl and just gives a shakes his head. "Mia, he is not going to make it. Before we arrived he already has a serious injury to his stomach. By the looks of the wound on the stomach, they already took out a vital organ that was important towards this human. The only way to save him is to ease his pain."
The girl nods and looks at her brother. "No I can;t brother. He saved my life even though he doesn't know me. I can't see another person die while protecting me. Please brother there must be another way we could save him."
Even though the girl pleads her brother to save him, the injury that was inflicted on this poor man was very serious. The young demi-human quickly observes his surrounding. Surely there must be another way to save him.
the Demi-human quickly gets up and searches around the cave. Surely the ratmans must have left something for them to use. As he was quickly looking around, he finds something inside a flower pot. It was a green plant that sprouted a single flower on top. When the demi-human sniffed the plant, it smelled like a toxin. Even though the plant had toxin, he knew what exactly the plant was.
He quickly grabbed the pot and rushed towards his sister. "Quick grab me something to grind and bring me some antitoxin. Mia looked at her brother strangely but as soon as she recognized what the plant was, she complied and grabbed something from her satchel.
While he was preparing to pull the plant, Mia also grabbed earplugs and applied it to her brother. The brother gives her a quick glance an the sister affirms him with a nod. Then the brother pulls the plant. Out comes a root shaped like person.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
If one doesn't know this plant and didn't bring earplugs, this plant could be lethal to those who has a hearing. This plant is considered dangerous when pulled as it lets out a noise that can be very traumatic as it can give permanent deaf and can even lead to death. This rare plant is actually called the mandrake.
This plant is used for many medicines when the toxins is removed. It is mostly known for healing medicine as it lets out chemicals that triggers a chemical inside the brain that causes rapid healing.The only way to differentiate mandrake from every other plants is the flower it sprouts that glows in the dark and the petals of the flower is green.
As the brother pulls it out, the mandrake opens it's crusted mouth and lets out a terrible shriek. The siblings waited patiently until the mandrake was finished and quickly grounded it up into powders. Then after applying antitoxin with few other medical components, they applied the salve on the wound.
As they waited, the wounds that were applied by the salve let out steams as the chemicals did their magic. However even though the wound was healed, there were visible signs of infections spreading. The brother quickly dressed the wounded area and slugged Lucarius on his back. "Get all the things that we can carry and lets get out of here. We don't want anyone come for slaying them."
Mia complied and quickly stashed anything they found useful. Luckily they found that the ratmans left some precious objects and some money. As they were leaving, they hide their traces and burned whatever they couldn't hide and left.
For three days, the man didn't wake up. And the siblings only hoped that the man will regain consciousness.

(Back in present time)
The girl dashed towards Lucarius and hugged him. Lucarius was stunned as he wasn't expecting a friendly attitude from a stranger. He quickly pushed her away from her and faced her. "Excuse me young lady, who are you? No more importantly where am I and what is this place?". Lucarius asked many questions towards the girl but the only answer he got was her cocking her head to the side in confusion.
Lucarius sigh as he knew she didn't speak her language from the response she gave and quickly tried to find something he could use to communicate. He found a pencil and quickly drew out many images that could somehow tell where he can be. Then he pointed her to see and put a question mark on it. As if she understood what he is saying.
"Ner to a dil Abyss. Ner to dil da?" Lucarius let out a confused face. He couldn't understand her at all. Before he gave up, the girl pointed at herself "Mia" she said. Then she pointed at Lucarius. Lucarius looked at her for a moment and realized what she was doing. "Lucarius" he said and let out a gentle smile. Mia gave a wide grin to Lucarius, showing she was happy.
Suddenly the door opened and out came the other person. The girl hopped out of the bed and ran to the young man. Then she pointed at him and said "Grayl". Then she pointed at Lucarius and did the same thing. The man gave a nod and approached Lucarius. He beckoned for lucarius to come closer. Seeing no hostility from Grayl, he leaned closer.
Suddenly Grayl grabbed his head and put something to his eyes. Lucarius winced in pain but it cleared quickly before he can react.
Then Lucarius began hearing some voices.
"..."
"Luc.."
"luc. ca.."
"Hey..Luc. can...you"
"Lucarius can you here me?"
Lucarius stared at Grayl in disbelief. He suddenly can hear Grayl's voice and it did not sound weird. Lucarius simply nodded to affirm that he can hear. Hoping that Grayl can hear him the same way he asked, "Hello Grayl. Can I ask you where am I?"
