The Guardian: The Elementalist

A troublesome body

Alesse found himself lying down, only able to stare at the white ceiling.

"Why this? Why is my body not moving? Even my eyes! Shit, my whole body is tingling!" Alesse kept trying to move his body, but could not.

"Maybe because the body was sleeping all day and not moving, making it limp. I thought I'd recover in a few minutes" Geni said.

While waiting for her slowly recovering body, Alesse was finally able to move her eyeballs and began to look around.

"It looks like it's a hospital" Geni said. "I shouldn't be here!" alesse said, again he tried his hardest to raise his hand, but his blood leaked to flow into the infusion tube.

"Then you, Alesse! Wait for more patience! Your blood can keep coming out if you keep pushing yourself!" geni.

Soon Alex and her parents entered the room. "Aless! You.... Are you awake?" Andin looked surprised instead of playing because he saw Alesse's hand raised with his eyes open as well.

Eventually the tingling sensation throughout Alesse's body disappeared. He immediately got up and removed the infusion tube that was in his hand.

"Why am I here? Daddy's? Mammy? We better get home!" alesse said in a hurry. He did not know what happened to the other body that was trapped in the basement.

"Calm down, Alesse! The doctor doesn't even know what's going on with you right now. Lie down quietly. Look, your hands keep bleeding because you're taking the infusion tube off by force" Andin said.

Finally Alesse complied, and lay down again. "Right, your face looks very pale, Alesse!" Hendra.

"I think his face was like that from the past, only lately he had a lot of expression" said Alex. Andin also elbowed him because he felt uncomfortable.

"What's clear... You're okay, right? No one is sick? What about your head? Did you feel hit by something or did someone hit you?" ask Andin. Alesse just shook his head, he was still confused by the fact that he could deal with this condition calmly, when usually his emotions would overflow until an electric current enveloped his head.

Soon the nurse and the doctor came to clean the blood that was flowing in Alesse's hand and checked his condition.

"How are you feeling now? Is it okay? Is anyone sick?" ask doctor. Alesse nodded. "Well, where's your left hand?" ask doctor. Spontaneously Alesse raised his right hand, making everyone astonished.

"Wait, Alesse! That's...." Alex was about to warn, but the doctor prevented. "Okay, Alesse! Can you feel your heartbeat?" ask the doctor. Alesse immediately touched his chest, leaning slightly to the right. He looked not confused as he was about to check his heartbeat.

"Okay, great! Can you feel it?" ask doctor. Alesse nodded naturally. "Alright, let me tell you now. Then you check your heartbeat on the right side of your chest. Do you realize that?" ask doctor.

Alesse was stunned for a moment, he was also confused to distinguish between right and left. But he finally found out after looking at the pocket on his shirt, it was on the left.

"That's weird! Why do I feel this upside down? I'm pretty sure this is my right hand!" alesse said as he raised his left hand.

"Do you know that your heart is on the right?" ask Alex. "What's that empty muzzle are you talking about? Why is my heart on the right?" ask Alesse. "That's what the scans showed" Alex said, showing Alesse's medical records.

Alesse was uncomfortable because too many people had witnessed the strangeness on him.

"Dad, Mother! We'd better just go home, " said Alesse. "Wait first! You'll have to go through a few more checks" Hendra said. I'm fine, dad! I want to go home," said Alesse, he looked very agitated from his tone even though his expression remained flat.

"Ba.. well, if that's what you want. But if there is a strange feeling or pain, tell us immediately" said Hendra. Alesse nodded. Finally the four of them went home.

Arriving at home, Alesse immediately ran towards the room to avoid the curiosity of his family. Unfortunately Hendra immediately intercepted him so as not to go inside.

"Isn't there anything you should say?" ask Hendra. "That's nothing. The doctor lied!" Alesse. "I don't think what the doctor said is true. All your internal organs are upside down, Alesse! I can see it too" Alex said.

He immediately opened the door to the hull and found his body lying on the floor with a deathly pale face.

"Of course, he hasn't eaten all day and is stuck inside here. But what am I supposed to do? I can't let him die here" Alesse said, biting a finger.

"Hmm, your situation is really troublesome huh!" geni. "I don't understand why this happened to me! Really troublesome!" said Alesse, he intended to show his regret, but could not.

"What's up, Alesse? You're trying to turn into Baraq?" ask Geni. "It's nothing, after all this time I've always expressed myself, when it's back to normal it feels like something's holding me back from staying calm" Alesse replied.

"You'd better move the body, the blood circulation is uneven, it can make it damaged" Geni said.

"Truly troublesome! I don't even know how to feed this thing," Alesse said as he dragged his body up and laid it on the bed with fatigue. Feeling tired, he finally fell asleep in bed.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Someone knocked on the door, making Alesse flinch and immediately wake up from his sleep. He found another body standing in front of the window.

"Who are you? What are you doing there?" ask Alesse. Unfortunately the boy remained unmoved while continuing to stare at the window, the look on his face looking disappointed as the sunlight splashed through the room.

"Aqua?" Alesse tried to make sure, he was all he thought about when he saw the child who kept staring at the window nonstop. Suddenly there was a rumbling sound from the child's stomach.

"The body hasn't eaten all day, you better go to the kitchen to eat" Alesse said. Unfortunately, the boy ignored him.

"Wait first! Why can't I hear Geni's voice? Usually he is very noisy in the morning," Alesse said as he checked around, he heard nothing more in his mind and it made him very calm.

"Aless! Wake up! Meal time! Alesse, you're okay, right?" andin asked as he continued to knock on the door, worried that Alesse had not left the room this morning.

"Good ma'am!" alesse said, he glanced at Aqua. "Wait moreover? Go eat!" Alesse.

"You'd better eat. Staring at a window like this is enough for me" Aqua said.

"I know you hate bright things, it's not like it's in the subconscious! What's outside that window is not the sea! Go to the kitchen!" Alesse pulled Aqua's arm and pushed her out of the room.

Smelling an appetizing scent, Aqua finally walks into the kitchen and finds Alex eating there.

Alex looked at him in astonishment, even rubbing his eyes many times. "Did I not look wrong? Your internal organs are not upside down like before! What's the matter, actually?" said confusion. Aqua did not reply, she immediately sat down to eat food.

"Why are you sitting there? It's dad's chair" Hendra said, massaging Aqua's shoulder. Seeing the reaction of the boy who seemed resigned as he was, Hendra began to dare to act.

"Good morning my son! You okay?" she asked as she grabbed her shoulders from behind and ruffled her hair.

Aqua looked puzzled as her hair felt different, the body had a shorter head of hair than her.

"What's up, son? Is there anyone sick around here?" asked Hendra while rubbing the boy's head. Aqua shook her head with her flat expression.

"Well, it's okay to sit there, let the father who sat in your chair yes," Hendra said with a friendly smile, he was happy because Aqua responded calmly.
