Lungmen Slums Healer.

===================

In amidst of the slum. Young Teenager suffering from oripathy held his side tightly, unable to bare with middle stage oripathy. No medical care, no hope. He was gonna die like the rest. He would just be another body count to the thousands of deaths from oripathy every year In the lungmenite slums.

He's eyes shedded a tear. The thought of dying without even having a chance to fight back the deadly rocks In his body Infuriated him. He wanted to have chance to fight it, yet this cruel world never gives chances. It only takes. The world took his parents, next his siblings. Now him next?

Rather than being sad his he can only be frustrated. Anger and denial was the only thing In his mind. He had hope but what used was there for hope If the thing he hoped for never came.

He had no home left. The moment his parents died, was the moment the worse became a catastrophe.

Then he fell to the ground, his legs were getting weak. He got up to move again, taking the spot on the first bench he saw and laid down. He was gonna take a rest before he gets on the move again.

He closed his eyes trying to Ignore the pain as much as possible. After a while he started to drift Into the dream world. But It was suddenly taken from him as he felt someone sit on the bench he slept on. Normally people don't get near Infected.

He looked and saw a young feline with black hair. She seems to have deep eyebags, It seems she needs some sleep too. Chuckling at that bit of an Ironic thought, she glanced at him for second before minding her own business again.

But what bothered him about Is that she only seems to wear a large white T-Shirt and just panties without anything else, and his teenage hormones struck. She also had a guitar on her side which he hadn't notice.

:IMAGE:

He finally got out of his laying position and sat up. He sat there for awhile next to her, after all he had his sleep disrupted. He was about to fall asleep again from the lack of sleep but he awoke again. This time from the sound from the strings of the guitar. Instead getting angry at the person... He felt soothed, It felt warm for a moment. It then stopped, he then glanced at her and saw her adjusting the guitar.

He then noticed passersby stop to look at her too. Some just stood on the sides to see what performance she was about to do. Whatever she had done, captivated everyone on her surroundings.

As she finished adjusting her guitar, she didn't even take a moment to take a single look or care to audience she amassed from simply testing her guitar before adjustments. Then it began, the guitar played. It was soothing, It was like I entered a realm of peace.

Every single one of the audience felt like a child once again under the caress of their mother. Even those part of the mafia felt soothed, no one dared to make a move as their performer played her guitar.

With that, the guitar sang as the movement of each hand of the performer landed In sync to make the perfect healing music. Quite literally. Some of them started to notice their wounds and pains disappear slowly.

And the teenager next to her felt the torment of his oripathy slowly go away. The growing pain disappeared. His breathing went back to normal. Everyone watched In silence some murmured with each other.

Then one finally broke that silence and said what most didn't even notice. "M-My oripathy! It's gone!" A man shouted amidst the silent crowd. To prove his point he pulled up his sleeve and showed the once notable lesions on his skin had slowly disappeared or outright eradicated.

The crowd watched In astonishment. And the teenager beside her looked under his clothed to find the very lesions of originium that plagued his body was no longer present. He felt his heart stop, he didn't know how to react. He was too shocked. Originium was 100% fatal without proper treatment. But even with proper treatment, It could only get you so far. But this... this was different. It outright destroyed oripathy In ones body.

Soon people started to flock the young woman. Begging her to heal them. But she didn't mind them and continued to play. She only wanted to play, not be a hero.

Soon the crowd finally quieted down as they continued to listen. The guitar sung It's melody of calmness and beauty. Unexpectedly later on she would start gathering followers that would follow and support her.

As she continued to play for the crowd. The large mass of people gathered the attention of some LGD personnel patrolling this part of the slums. They watched from afar while Infected slowly flocked to the area. Something was amiss.

They stayed cautious and watched from afar. Slowly cheering erupted, everyone started cheering for no apparent reason. Confusing the LGD personnel. More and more nearby LGD personnel arrived to the scene with quite a surprised look.

Finally one approached to the ask one of the Infected. "Hey you." He said getting the attention one of the Infected within the crowd. "Hm?"

"I want to ask what's going on here?"

The man seemed excited to respond to the question as If he waited this his whole life. "There's a wonderful lady playing music! Maybe It was arts... But It cured oripathy!" The man couldn't contain his joy.

The Patrolling guards were dumbfounded at the remark. There was no way some musician was able to cure oripathy right? He reported back what he heard to get the same reaction from his colleague's.

Soon rumors would spread and desperate people would start flocking to Lungmen to meet this so called healer.
