Damian was still dazy as they arrived in the underwater city, and he only saw glimpses of what was happening. But he noticed the rmaids and tritons walking using legs inside the city!
The city had a bubble around it, making it so that the water from the ocean did not enter the city, making it look like a city on the land despite being underwater.
"What happened? Who is he?"
"A human I found badly hurt. I think other humans attacked him," the blond rmaid carrying Damian said.
"Bring him in; I will call Kaia."
The blond rmaid brought Damian to a building that looked like a church or where the rmaids and tritons worshipped sothing. It was the best place to find healers, and Kaia was the best current healer.
Kaia was the daughter of the triton king, and when she heard a human was severely hurt, she ran!
"Where is he?"
"He's above the table!"
They put Damian on a table and tried to stop the bleeding from his wounds, but that alone was not enough to save his life, and that's why they called Kaia to help out with her healing skills.
"Can you save him?"
The blond rmaid that brought Damian looked concerned.
"Let check him first."
Kaia could see Damian looked terrible, but the only way to honestly know the extent of his wounds was after checking him, and so she did.
"Broken arms and legs, a few broken ribs, and a head wound. The only major thing is the head wound; the rest can heal with ti," Kaia said after inspecting Damian's condition.
She looked at the blond rmaid and said, "Relax, Marilla, I am the best healer here, rember?"
Marilla sighed, waited on the sidelines, and was there if Kaia needed her, but she did not want to stay on her way and get things worse for Damian.
All rmaids could heal others using the power of their tears and their water elent manipulation, magic, like the one Damian knew from his Necromancy Book. However, those were the opposite of healing.
Kaia was the best healer because of her natural talent for controlling the water elent. Her rmaid tears were also of a better quality, aning their healing effects were even better than regular ones.
She focused on casting multiple water abilities that healed so of Damian's wounds, but those skills alone wouldn't make him new again, but Kaia only wanted to create so ti!
What would make Damian as good as new was her tears, so Kaia left the building after Damian's condition stabilized and went to her ho, where she had tears stored for situations like that one.
It all happened fast, but Marilla was still worried after Kaia left, moving toward Damian ensuring everything was alright with him.
"Finally!" she said after noticing Kaia return with a glass bottle filled with liquid.
Those were the rmaid tears. Kaia went beside Damian, opened the bottle, and dropped a few drops of the liquid on Damian's wounds, especially the one on his head.
"Now, we need to wait," Kaia told Marilla.
There was nothing else to do but wait and see how Damian's body would react. He had lost consciousness after entering that building, but his wounds were visibly improving, so much that even Kaia was astonished.
"What happened?" Marilla asked after she noticed the strange look on her friend's face.
"Nothing terrible; it's just that his healing speed is incredible! Even without our help, he could have healed alone, given enough ti.
"What? No, you are faking it. Look at how damaged he was! There's no way a human can heal those wounds, even if he's a superhuman."
She believed her friend Kaia wouldn't lie to her about that, but it did sound impossible because Damian's wounds were severe. Almost no one would survive that, especially if one considered Marilla had to bring him to the town, spending around fifteen minutes.
Still, what Kaia said made Marilla feel relieved, not scared that Damian would die for so reason. She found a comfortable sit near the table where Damian was lying and waited till he was awake again.
It took two hours. Damian spent two hours unconscious, but by the ti he was awake again, his wounds were looking much better, and all his broken bones were not broken anymore!
"What happened? Where am I?" Damian said.
Marilla was sitting on a chair, and she had fallen asleep waiting for Damian, but when she heard his voice, she imdiately woke up, saying, "Don't move; you are still recovering."
Damian stretched his arms and legs, which were broken previously, and they felt okay, "I am fine, I think. Can you explain to what's going on?"
"Humans attacked you. I found you and brought you to this city. Don't freak out, but we are rmaids, and there are tritons here too."
After she said those things, mories slowly returned to Damian, who rembered precisely what had happened and how his 'crew' betrayed him!
He looked at her and said, "Thanks for saving ."
Marilla's cheeks were red as she said, "No, it was Kaia who did all the work."
"But you are the one who found , right? And brought here? If it wasn't for you, I would be dead."
"Yes, you can say that."
She had a broad smile on her face after hearing what Damian said.
"I'm Marilla, and the one who healed you is Kaia. I will call her out; wait here for a while. But don't move too much," Marilla said as she left the building.
Kaia was busy, so she couldn't stay there watching Damian the whole ti, so she left to do other things. Damian was not feeling like standing still, so he got up from the table and walked his first steps after getting both legs broken.
It felt awkward initially, but Damian quickly got used to it again and felt as good as new. The healing spells and the rmaid tear Kaia gave him did wonders, but one of the main reasons he healed so fast and reached the city without dying was his giant bloodline.
Its healing capabilities were incredible, even in the infant stage, and Damian should thank that, or else his fate could have been another one.
He walked around inside that building, all made of stones and coral, looking completely different from the ordinary-buildings Damian had seen during his life.
'It looks magical, a fantasy place. How did the creator of the tower do all of this? And do these rmaids believe they are in the real world or sothing?' Damian thought as he passed his hand on the walls of that building, feeling the material.
Another thing he noticed was the books, but once he tried to read them, it was not possible at all.
'rmaid language.'
He walked inside that building like a kid in a park, and when Kaia and Marilla returned to see him, they couldn't believe it!
"What? You can walk? Tell your secret!" Kaia said, getting real close to Damian, touching his body, all parts.
"Of course. You healed , so why wouldn't I be able to walk? Anyway, how do I leave this place?"
"Leaving so soon? No, no, no, you need to wait and recover," Marilla said.
They did not know he wanted to leave as fast as possible to find the way out of the second floor, being the first person to complete it, and also because he wanted to get revenge on those who betrayed him.
'Should I tell them they are inside a tower?'
Damian did not know how to proceed, and Kaia seed to have understood his thoughts, "We all know we are inside the Skyfall Tower if that's what you are wondering."
"What?"
It surprised him a lot. His first guess was that all of those rmaids and tritons, the sea beasts, had no idea they were inside a tower.
"Do you know who created this place?" Damian asked.
"No, not at all. It happened a long ti ago, like a long ti ago. No one rembers it, and surely that person wanted this information a secret."
"But can you leave this place?"
"Yes, we can, but only between the other levels of the tower. But I guess that if you are here, then the tower is open to everyone? I wonder how's the world outside," Kaia said.
"It opened yesterday. So if you can move between the levels, can you show where the exit to this level is?"
"It's here, at the back part of the city. A sea beast is guarding the exit, but we are friends with it, so you can pass without fighting against it."
That was terrific news, and Damian could not believe his luck! He went from almost dead to finding a rmaid city and now discovering that the way out was there the whole ti?
"How can a person access this place, like normally?" Damian asked.
"There's a massive piece of land, and one can find a tunnel that will lead straight to this city. Why?"
"Nothing."
Damian smirked and couldn't wait for those who betrayed him to step inside that city. He would make them pay!
