Chapter 74: Meeting With The Elders... Again

"What is wrong with your eyes Zell?!" Obsi yelled, concerned about him.

"What do you mean?!" Zell replied, still trying to deal with his unbearable pain.

"They look like fox eyes!" Obsi replied. "What did that fox woman do to you?!"

"I have no idea." Zell said. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, trying to deal with his pain. Slowly the pain disappeared, and he felt relieved. He opened his eyes back up and looked at Obsi. She was extremely concerned about him.

"Your eyes are back to normal!" Obsi cheered.

"The pain is gone too." Zell said. "We should cut breakfast short and head directly to the elders."

"I agree." Obsi said. "This is something that cannot wait!"

They hurriedly got up from their seats and left the manor. They rushed to the temple that the elders stayed in and went to them immediately.

"You live human?" Sunea said as she saw them enter the room. "This is marvelous news!"

"Ha!" Xalador laughed. "You both owe me a twenty! I told you the little runt wouldn't have perished."

"So, it would seem." Excalibur replied. "Please tell us human, how is it that you came back to the world of the living?"

"It's not that long of a story but I need to skip to the end!" Zell said. "Time is of the essence right now. First there was a double, I killed him. Then a black void, a fox lady, another test and a tattoo on my hand."

"Slow down young man." Sunea said. "There is no sense to the words you are telling us. First you said you killed your double? That should have been impossible."

"I have a skill that allowed me to do it." Zell explained. "What is important is the fox lady. She did something to me and I have no idea what it was. After meeting her I woke back up in the white void with a tattoo on my hand. It's gone now, but its very existence hurts as if it were a thousand suns."

"I see." Xalador replied. "A fox woman you said. I know of no such god."

"She had nine tails and I don't think she was a god." Obsi explained. "She moved Zell from one place to another, a god shouldn't be able to do that without a connection."

"There is truth in your words." Sunea said. "But if she is not a god then what is she?"

"There's more." Zell said. "Earlier while eating breakfast my hand hurt again and Obsi said my eyes changed to that of a fox."

"That is most intriguing." Excalibur replied. "So, we have a mysterious figure that applied a curse of some sort that is changing you into something other than human. Perhaps that is how she creates more of her kind? Maybe she wishes to change the human into one of her type?"

"What can we do?" Zell asked. "I don't want to change into a fox."

"Hmmm." Xalador thought for a moment. "If it is a curse as we suspect we may be able to cleanse it from you. Excalibur here was once known as the holy sword from his ability to dispel powerful curses. Perhaps you could do that again, old friend?"

"I can try." Excalibur said as he got up from his chair. "Give me whichever hand is afflicted, and I will do my best to free you from the curse."

Zell gave Excalibur his hand. The dragon placed one hand beneath and one hand on top. He then bowed his head and closed his eyes to focus. Zell could feel the old dragon's magic entering his body. The old dragon's face whined as he struggled to remove the curse.

Excalibur sighed and reopened his eyes to look at Zell. "Whatever has placed this on you is far stronger than I am." He explained. "I am unable to remove whatever it is, I am truly sorry."

"So, Zell is going to become a fox?!" Obsi yelled.

"Not necessarily." Sunea replied. "We do not know for sure that is the purpose of the mark. It could have just been settling into him better and had unusual side effects. We just do not have enough information to make any kind of judgements currently. Take a deep breath and slow down. Tell us more of your experience."

"Well, I passed the trail that the fox woman gave me." Zell said. "That's when she told me to open my eyes and I found myself back in the void. I assumed that I had never left and everything I saw was simply in my head. I found myself able to see and feel the magic of existence after that."

"Very good." Xalador said. "At least the original purpose of having you enter that room was successful. Even if you were cursed by some horrible monster."

Zell looked at the back of his hand trying to remember the tattoo. "Oh, right the tattoo had words that I could not read. But I remember them."

"Bring us a writing board." Sunea yelled out.

One of the attendants left the room and returned shortly after with a wooden tablet in his hand. He handed the board to Zell along with a brush and some ink.

"If you could write the words, you saw human, we may be able to help you." Sunea said.

"I will." Zell said as he put the brush into the provided ink and started to write what was in his mind. He did not know what the scribbles meant but he put them all down anyway. After many minutes passed Zell put his brush down and walked the tablet over to Sunea. "Here this is what it said." He told her as he handed her the tablet.

She scanned it over and her eyes widened. "Are you sure this is what you saw human?" Sunea said. "You did not make any mistakes in transposing it? This is exactly what you saw written on your hand?"

"Yes." Zell said. "My intelligence stat basically gives me a photographic memory. Do you know what it says?"

"Yes." Sunea replied.. "It is written in the ancient language of the gods, the language of creation."
