126 Dealing With The Rash

~Sylvester~

After informing Leo about Gezel Westwood, I began to feel a weird burning sensation on my back. It was a bit itchy too. I did not think much of it and thought it would go away. My mind was occupied with the events that were unfolding. I would lie if I said I wasn't nervous about confronting Yuri in Gad. I looked forward to ending it, and the anticipation made me nervous.

I got into the shower quickly because I had a lot of planning to do when I felt the itch and slight burning sensation on my back.

Tamia joined me in the bathroom and screamed. I turned towards her, and she looked concerned.

"Your back is red with rashes/ she said, looking worried and then it hit me.

"Erik," Knight said in my head, and I tried to turn my back to the mirror to catch a glimpse of what was on it. It was indeed red with rashes at the top visible part.

I grabbed my bathrobe and headed out. Seeing it made the itch increase. It might be psychological, but it had become severe. 2

"Where are you going?' Tamia asked me.

"Erik," I replied, unable to form a complete sentence because I was battling the discomfort. I walked out of the bedroom.

I did not bother to answer the greetings in the hallway and headed straight towards the Beta's wing, where Erik's room was.

On my way there, I bumped into Vino.

He seemed to be in the same predicament as I was, and he was coming from the Beta's wing.

"The Infirmary,'* He said quickly. Knowing what had brought me there.

There was no need for pleasantries. We were both in trouble. I turned around, and we headed to the property's infirmary.

I could not speak. I felt like backing up against a wall with my back and rubbing it there to scratch it. It was itchy.

The burning sensation made the idea of scratching it unpleasant. It was a terrible feeling.
