Yean and Bennett tried but failed to move him. Yean and Bennett let go of their grasp on him and looked down. “You’re still figuring things out. However, Maxilin is not your cup of tea,“ said Wyiner.
“Go help Evan,” he urged, and he picked up Maxilin in a flash. When they saw him, Beneth and Yean’s eyes widened. “How is it possible, brother Yean?” Beneth mumbled as he stared at Yean. Yean looked at him and nodded, meaning “no.” They both let out a sigh. And walked near Evan. Wyiner entered the carriage with Maxilin. He stared him in the eyes as he placed his head on his lap.
Wyiner’s Aside.
Help yourself first, Maxilin. Or you will never be able to find the truth or your answer unless you do so.
Two horse-drawn carriages are rushing through the thick woodland route. A large moon in the sky is beaming at the carriages. Crows crowing and weird animal sounds can be heard from time to time.
‘dhong’ dhong’.
The sound of the church.
Wyiner walked out of the church, but in the midst of the path, the church’s father called out from behind him, “Wyiner.”
Wyiner stopped and turned around to face him. “Yes, Father,” I said.
He said, “Xavier sent me a letter.” Wyiner glanced down but said nothing. “He wanted to know about Maxilin,” the father said. “What did you say?” I asked.
“I informed him the child was doing great,” he said.
I gave him a questioning look and added, “I do not know why my brother keeps bothering you about his son, even though I constantly tell him about Maxilin.” Can’t he put his faith in me when it comes to his son? “
The father gave me a kind smile and added, “This isn’t about this kid. Maybe he feels you keep things about Maxilin from him.“ I remained silent and moved my sight away from him.
I said, “I’ll write him a letter,” After a light nod from the father, I stepped out of the church.
After a short period, two men unlocked the fort gate, allowing Wiyner to enter. He dismounted his horse and went to the Maxilin Chamber.
Wyiner noticed Evan seated next to Maxilin. Wyiner asked, “Evan, what brings you here?”
“Uncle Wyiner,” Evan said, “I just came here to see him.” “But you are not in good health. You should’ve gotten some rest,” Wyiner said. Evan looked down but didn’t respond to Wyiner.
He was hurt in the elbow and the head, and it will take time for him to recover. “Is he all okay, uncle?” Evan asked. “He’s been asleep for a day, and he’s still sleeping.”
Wyiner shut the window and drew the curtain closed. “Evan, he’s all right. He’ll wake up shortly,” he replied. Wyiner ignited all the candles and turned to face Evan, saying, “You’ve known your friend since you were children. So don’t be worried.”
“I know, but following that, he also woke up in an hour, but this time it was too long,” he said.
“Uncle, will it become worse day by day?” Evan asked.
Evan’s story,
Evan and Maxilin have been friends since they were children. Evan’s father was a friend of Maxilin’s father. Both of them were hunters. Unfortunately, while on a mission, his father was gravely injured and died. Evan’s mother passed away during his delivery. Because of his father’s death, he became an orphan. Then he was adopted by Xavier, and Maxilin and Evan began living together as brothers.
now.
“Uncle, will it become worse day by day?” Evan asked. Wyiner pondered for a time and said, “I have no idea, Evan. Perhaps it will, or perhaps it will not. “
“What are we going to do now? We can’t allow him to go through this.” Evan said. As Wyiner said, “Evan,” he put his hand on his shoulder.
“Have faith in God. I’m sure he’ll show him the way. Maxilin has had this trauma since he was a child, and you may know it as well. Now that he is an adult, he isn’t as afraid as he once was. He will be able to overcome this obstacle on his own,” Wyiner said.
“And what about the mark on his chest?” Evan asked. “Do you know how quickly it’s growing?” he asked. Wyiner stated, “Evan, we have nothing to do with that.” “There was no gem or crystal that could work on him.”
Evan sighed and fixed his gaze on Maxilin. “We’ll figure it out one day, uncle,” Evan said as he walked out of the room.
Wyiner sat in the chair, his gaze fixed on Maxilin.
