Shigure's pov
I couldn't get up. My eyes stayed staring at the hard stone floor even after waking up. 'get up.' i shook my head in defiance to my injuries. 'GET UP!' i staggered upwards before raising my hands up, looking at those golden bracelets that runes carved into them. Like an aincent language, My arm flops down. 'i should be in pain... Why can't I feel it?' i thought as i looked at a particularly long hole in the cave. "I have to test something." I tried walking normally but can only limp.
I barely dragged myself to the hole in the wall. I peeked inside. " A dead end." I sighed but my eyes lingerd on the stone wall before flicking to my fist. 'do it.' my mind talked to me. 'do it. DO IT.' i pulled back my arm and shaped a fist. "AGHHHH" i punched the wall as hard as I can. The stone barely cracked while my knuckles split open.
My fingers still slightly bent because of the climb. I watched my blood drip to the ground. "Shut up, all of you.." my voice trembled as my hand shook. I couldn't feel anything. Images of those traitorous bastards filling my mind once more. "i won't let you do that... I WON'T!" I screamed.
My gaze wanderd to my now bloodied arm and to the wall. I pulled back my arm and punched it again.
CRACK!
And again.
CRACK!
AND AGAIN.
SQUELCH
The blood on my arm muffling the noise of my bones cracking and breaking. The wall now painted a deep red almost black colour. i kept hitting the wall untill my arm looked like a hunk of mangled flesh. My eyes brimmed with pure uncontrolled rage. I tried punching the wall again, but my right arm was basically useless now. I couldn't even lift it. 'you have another arm left right? Use it.' my mind spoke to me. It was my voice, in my tone. 'do it, Shigure. Prove your strength shigure.' it kept talking.
'do it.' 'punch it' 'break it.' i couldn't take it anymore. I raised my left arm, and that same black energy from against the wolf came out again. "JUST GO AWAY!" i let out a loud blood gurgling scream as i blew an entire hole through the wall, and whatever behind it was practically dissolved into nothing as that black energy turned my punch into a beam. I looked at my hand in shock, not quite believing what i just did. I watched as the golden light spilled from through the hole. "I accidentally made a short cut to... That pit." My voice shifted to disgust as my eyes landed into that not so reassuring pit. And at that... Tent? If you can call it that.
I shook my head distracting myself from the shortcut i just made. I turned my head to my right arm, that feeling of rage and hate slowly coming back to me but... "Stop..." My voice came out low. And quite hoarse from all the screaming. The mangled lump of flesh that used to be my right fist, i barely felt any pain from it. "It only stings a little." I tired lifting it up but it didn't work just hanged limply. I sighed and Went through the hole i just made and jumped into the pit.
The air pressing against me as i fell and... Horribly landed on my ass. And for some reason, that hurt more than my practically ruined right arm. Wich was still dripping blood. I went into the tent I made as the light that spilled from the giant opening in the roof turned dark. And in there i just sat. I wasn't sleepy, and i couldn't sleep. I closed my eyes whilst sitting, replenishing my energy.
As I relaxed, i felt a sense of magic touching my right arm. I shrugged it off at first, thinking it was just an itch. But it got stronger and stronger. I opened my eyes in surprise as i gazed at my fully healed arm "huh?" I just stared before suddenly realizing it. Looking at the bracelets who were coverd in blood. "Magical energy gets stored in them, and when i rest my stamina and relax it uses that magical energy to heal me. And also... Clean themselves." I guessed correctly as it uses magic to make itself look as good as new.
"But these bracelets are also the reason I can't use magic." I added to myself. "I must look insane by talking to myself like that." I thought before getting up and sighing. "I'll have to look for food" i scratched my head with my sharp fingers and accidentally cutting myself... But not feeling it.
