Elemental Summoner 1 D. Levesque (beach read .txt) 📖

“I have not done this before, but I have the knowledge. Start by putting your hand over Marken’s hand. Then you need to call up the energy in your body to heal. Though, I don’t have a trigger word for you to use. Can you think of one in your language?”

I have a thought, but it cannot be that fucking easy, can it? I put my hand over Marken’s and I take a deep breath, since I have no clue what this will feel like. Bracing myself, I whisper, “Heal.”

I feel an almost ripping sensation inside me, causing me intense pain, and I almost fall over, but Leeha is there to keep me up. The pain leaves me just as quickly as it arrived.

“Alex!” Leeha screams.

“I’m good,” I tell her, keeping my focus on Marken’s hand. I can see a green energy flow going between the palm of my hand and his.

You are healing your target. Time to fully heal, 00:00:10:00.

“It says it will take ten minutes to heal him,” I say out loud.

“You’re doing good,” Bridget says. “What you felt was one of those energy balls in your body opening up for the first time. Sorry I didn’t warn you,” she says gloomily. “I didn’t know.”

“No worries. But fucking hell, that hurt. Will it be like that each time I heal?” I ask Bridget.

“No. Though I think it will be each time you open another one of those. The bigger the heal you do, the bigger the energy it needs, so that means-”

“The more energy balls that will open,” I tell her with an internal sigh.

I decide to make myself more comfortable, since if I stay on my knees for ten minutes, I know I will hurt. This might be a new body, but that’s still a painful stance. I re-adjust myself without moving my hand from over Marken’s. Once I’m sitting, I put his hand in my lap, with my arm resting on my knee and my hand over his. I look up to see how everyone else is, and they are all watching me raptly as I heal Marken.

“Can I get you anything, Alex?” Leeha asks me worriedly.

“No, I just need to get more comfortable if I am going to be doing this for ten minutes,” I tell her with a thankful smile.

“Look!” Lahana shouts suddenly, pointing down at Marken’s hand.

I look down quickly, expecting it to be trouble, but instead, I see why she shouted. There is visual evidence that it’s working! The hand is no longer as puffy, and I can see the swelling going down. The blisters are also not as caked with the yellow puss and infection as they were earlier. Even as we keep watching, we can see the blisters start to heal over and close up.

“That is just amazing,” Maxil says softly.

“It is, isn’t it?” I say, looking up at him. “In my world, for us to heal what has happened to Marken would take months of therapy. Sorry, it seems it’s another word from my world. Months to heal with help. If left on its own, I think the infection in his body would have killed him. I honestly do not wish to do this to anyone ever again,” I say with a sigh.

Leeha comes up behind me and puts her arms around my neck, kissing me on the side of my neck. “I am glad you were able to heal him, Alex,” she says softly in my ear.

Then I hear Bridget say quietly, “You can stop healing him now, Alex.”

I glance back down and see that Marken’s hand is now healed completely, so I close my hand into a fist, and the green light stops. Without warning, I feel a massive pain at the top of my head.

You have healed Marken.

You have broken through your first of seven points of energy.

You have received 1 Heavenly Token

Heavenly Tokens: 9 of 200.

“Alex!” Leeha shouts as I end up falling forward on top of Marken, who is thankfully still out cold.

“Sorry, Alex!” cries the voice of Bridget from above me. “I tried to reduce the pain, but I wasn’t expecting it to enter you that fast.”

I feel a soft, warm hand on my forehead, and the pain eases off enough for me to focus. The pain that had hit me was so bad that it almost blinded me. Easing myself off Marken slowly so that I don’t hurt him, I sit up and look at Bridget.

“What was that?” I groan.

“That was feedback from breaking open one of your seven energy points,” Bridget says uneasily. “I wasn’t aware it would do that ‘til after you were done healing and I stopped the flow of energy. I tried to catch it, but it was like trying to grab something slippery and wet,” she says with a pout. “I am sorry, Alex.”

“It’s all good. But will that happen each time I break open one of those energy points?”

“There is something odd about those energy points, though,” Bridget says instead of answering me. She kneels in front of me, places one of her hands on my forehead again, and closes her eyes.

With Bridget kneeling in front of me like that, her bountiful breasts are right there, and I want nothing more than to reach out and caress them again. It felt nice this morning, waking with my hand cupped around one of them. I hear a snicker next to me, and out of the corner of my eye, I see Leeha with a grin on her face as she shakes her head at me. I can’t help but grin as well.

“Can’t help it,” I whisper.

Suddenly I feel a warmth throughout my body, almost as if a pain that I didn’t know was there is now gone. I glance back at Bridget, and her eyes are open.

“What was that?” I ask her, pleasantly surprised at feeling so much better.

“I healed you,” she says smugly.

“What? Did you use my own energy?”

“Yep!” she says. “As I am your Elemental and
