Chapter 205 The Origin

Xavier found himself drowning slowly under concrete, he didn't hope to last forever but this forever he had was so short, people started to fall sick and he had to kill every person who showed any of the symptoms.

At first, people hated his move and they hated his decision because the number of people he killed was very high.

Xavier had to force himself to stay awake so that we wouldn't just be taken by surprise by their revenge .

Even healing mages died in a very brutal way not knowing what has gotten into them.

Another month has passed and all he was thinking about was the fact that was living in huge anticipation that he couldn't tolerate for more days to come.

During the whole past period, he kept tracking the traces outside the transportation center to see whether those people were still alive or not .

And for some reason, he discovered that the people inside the transportation center survived in this past period and that made him very angry because he thought of isolating himself inside the transportation center away from his people.

There were only a few left of his people, the majority died, the number of people who died was huge to the point where they left them in their houses when they died because they were not numerous to bury them like the first ones who died .

Xavier felt like he deserved what was happening to him because it brought chaos to this place, it was his punishment but he refused to accept it, and instead of staying at his house he just kept desperately hanging around the transportation center to find a way in.

It was night, the sky was not that clear because it kept raining all day.

For the past week, the weather stayed the same, it was not cold but the rain kept pouring all day preventing them from doing anything .

He was the only one who kept getting outside, not caring about the weather to gather more information.

It was late at night, and Xavier was already feeling very tired and hungry, his stomach kept making noises to the point where he couldn't just fall asleep no matter how tired he was .

It was at that moment when the gate opened finally, all his senses got back to work, he never saw the people from the inside, and they never left enough evidence from him to be more certain about who they are.

It was the first time for him that he encountered them at the same time.

He was sitting on the branch of a big tree next to the transportation center, he made sure that no one saw him as he was climbing the tree, and he stayed there for long hours until he couldn't feel his legs because of the numb sensation from the absence of movement.

The gate was not opened fully, just enough of one person to exit nothing more. A few seconds after a person showed up, the light was not enough for him to make him formulate a full picture of the identity of that person but he knew that the person was a male because of his body .

The person went a few meters away from the gate and put a few containers on the ground. Xavier was not sure about what was happening in front of him, he didn't want to rush things until he knows well what was happening in front of him..

The person stayed still for more than half an hour, then he got back inside while taking the containers with him.

"Ahhhh, how could I  not see this " Xavier said this time with an angry expression on his face, he was biting his lips till he injured them.

" This is the reason"

Xavier at the moment knew something that turned all the tables around him, only then to realize what went wrong with his people, he knew the reason why his people got sick.

" It is all because of the ….water" He said as if he wasn't believing the words that came out of his mouth.

"I can't believe that they went this far, " He said while resting his head on the tree.

He witnessed the gate closing and for some reason, it was the first time that he didn't want to get inside the transportation center.

It was at that moment, that Xavier wanted only to see just one place before doing anything else.

He looked at the sky as if he was asking for solutions then he fell asleep without notice .

The next morning was the same, the rain kept pouring all night , and if he wasn't fixing his body with a lot of ropes he would have fallen and broken his neck while sleeping .

He untied his whole body slowly, he was feeling tired with a lot of pain in his muscles, Xavier stretched for a while when he stood on the ground then after a while he started moving towards the place that came to his mind last night.

He looked with his healing mages for the origin of this sickness for a long time but he didn't find anything.

However, what he saw last night was very confusing and triggering at the same time.

He walked for an hour just to reach that place, it was not that easy due to his lack of sleep and numb muscles but he made it there without getting noticed by the people from inside the transportation center or by his people.

The place was very spacious and full of green grass from all directions, and there was an old dug well that has been there for ages .

Xavier was so afraid of what he was going to see inside of that well, because when he saw the person getting rainwater that way he just was so sure that the origin of sickness among his people was because of the water they had been drinking all this past time .

Xavier walked slowly towards the well the leaned toward it , he bowed his head to see the level of water there but he couldn't see because of the darkness caused by how deep it was .

He made a light spell and projected it toward the base of that old well only to see what was so choking to the point where he just fell to the ground immediately as a result of that holding his palm in fear .

A few minutes later he started to puke lime he never did, he was not a little person, he was a fully grown-up man who fought, who killed, who had to go through a lot in his life but everything that he ever encountered in his whole life was not as bad as this .

"Fuc*****, I will never forgive whoever did this "Xavier said while still breathing with difficulty.

He had to relax for more few minutes before he got to see the mess in front of him for another round.

The reason why his people got sick was definitely because of the source of water that they have been using for the past months.

"I will kill whoever did this " He shouted again but this time he sensed some steps getting closer to him.

" Shit," He said quietly when he heard the steps that were just getting closer to him this time .

He turned around only to see a group of his people that were not sick coming in his direction, there were only a few steps between them .

One of them said with a cold look on his face:" What are you doing here, leader, we looked for you yesterday and didn't find you in your house"

"Just needed some air" he replied firmly.

Xavier was not the most likable person among his people after his last decision, so he had to keep his eyes open .

What Xavier didn't know was that all of them saw him as he was using the light spell to see what was inside of the well.

He pretended like he was just passing by and decided to continue walking when one of them said :" Wait for a second"

Another one just headed toward the well very fast and did the same spell he cast a few minutes ago.

It took him a few seconds before he started to see what was there, the look on his face was very surprised, the mage was so terrified even to speak.

Xavier knew that he fuc**ed up at that moment because the corpses that he claimed that he buried two months ago were stuffed inside the well that was considered their only source of drinkable water in district one .

A few mages joined the first one when remained silent that way, a few started to puke the same way Xavier did and some of them just looked at him with a lot of hate mixed with anger …

"I didn't do it … I just saw it as you did "

"You created the disease" one of them said .

"No " Xavier yelled .

"You wanted to kill all of us …" Another one said .
