Kar pushed harder on Parcival's throat. The threads came out faster as the staff flashed.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAGVrzbLGhcW
"Don't bother me." He half-turned, opening his free fist in Han's face, a red intricate rune of light floated above his palm.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAgbIdos3ngP
"Back off."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAQNMcVrKMij
Han's eyes pinched tight and his mouth curled back bearing his little fangs, he hissed while stepping back. His spectacles slid down resting on his muzzle.
694Please respect copyright.PENANALNdkF2Nwvh
Her mind was foggy. It was hard to focus. Everyone was doubled and blurry. She rubbed her eyes, it helped a little.
694Please respect copyright.PENANALOTZ3ToEJn
Han ran behind one of the larger containers hacking at a large cable that curved around alongside it. The thick pink liquid gushed out spilling onto the floor.
694Please respect copyright.PENANABomWSa2dJT
"Stop doing that, you overgrown pin cushion!"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAbBAcaBnumE
Kar twisted the base of his staff, it hummed drawing the threads out faster.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAmGy0VbLRKu
"Aetae, spirit of the wind I invoke of you grant your aid once more."
694Please respect copyright.PENANA9S5lzuGOKj
Aetae was slow to come his shadowed form faded. What was wrong?
694Please respect copyright.PENANAkgweFUvT53
"The soul requiem of the land begins."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAFLW4Uog5Mg
His voice as soft as an owl in flight, his shadowy eyes held a pain.
694Please respect copyright.PENANASiH2WJPAhg
"What is it?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAAQM52BXvwL
He closed his eyes tight wrapping cold hands over hers.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAKbzXASAW7N
"Trust no one."
694Please respect copyright.PENANANSQQsaP0oE
He granted speed again, it was lighter then ever before it would wear off soon. Unnamed had said that before, had he corrupted Aetae?
694Please respect copyright.PENANA3A4Oq3Neue
Aetae spiraled through the floor as if pulled on. His soft cry echoed in her ears. Her heart ached. This was wrong, all wrong.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAeZCPxLpPlR
The moans from Parcival grabbed her attention.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAG38t451LRl
She streaked on the floor pulling with her hands yanking on Kars arm.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAnQXVBOiMbE
"Imprudent Elf, why won't you just give up?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAbipSQr4YSg
He lifted his arm up, and her with it.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAkkaXKgMsbv
"Let them go." Come on, Han run.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAGYnTPYhUX0
Han was on the container across the room hacking away at it's cable.
694Please respect copyright.PENANASEtX62YOoE
The speed spell faded and left. Don't wear off now, come back.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAUqWjEMR5R3
Kar shook her off. He went over to a support beam and smashed her chest first into it. He repeated this until she slid off his arm and dropped to the floor. The pink glop pooled under her stomach.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAFFWpLCddIs
He bent down and pulled her head up. "Tell them to leave, and make them not want to come back. Do this and they may go."
694Please respect copyright.PENANArOrpFXUGU2
Han crept around the containers, backed away from both of them. His eyes were wide and his fur slick against his body, like a bear cub that was dunked in a river. He crept low, avoiding eye contact.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAap3uX02t0z
Parcival slid down the wall his skin gray as dusty steel. His eyes closed, and his breathing slowed. Shouldn't do it, but what choice is there? Can't let this human die. No, correction friend. Her throat tightened and became sore.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAYLU05J2Mz9
"Well?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAlsbXeIuNkM
"Let me help him first."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAMO55oIzABL
"Do it quickly."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAUrVaRdVLGD
Kar went over to Han who was wedged on the far side of a container. Kar swore at him every time he dodged away.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA0ni4cicYEU
"Get out!"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAQnPUB1CkBO
Everything below the hips was numb as she crawled over to Parcival.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAGqiSQn5nG1
"Spirits take from mine and mend of his. I will pay the cost." It came out as a harsh croak.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA1DG7NQiS37
She placed her hands on his chest. Stay with me.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAKpe5uue3uC
Spirits of darkness and light came through the floor. In most cases they refused to be together in one place, as each opposed the other. For this, they would. A taste of life was the only coin that mattered to them, considering how tired they looked they needed it. Aetae wasn't with them.
694Please respect copyright.PENANADs7VE6JInp
She pointed at Parcival. They swarmed over him joining hands while leaning over his mouth. They breathed out a wispy golden breath that twisted into a stream into his.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAwg93jpcEJY
They came over to her, holding out her hand, they both touched it. The dark one's touch was like those hidden nightmares that slipped away on waking, ancient and chill. It wasn't evil, more sad then anything. It never really left; became a part of you.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAtq5fqlLeGk
A part of her left with, as did much of what was left of her energy. The light one came over and did the same. The payment while steep could be afforded. Two years for each spirit wasn't as bad as what some wanted. They flew through a wall and vanished.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAdf31mR1iSv
His breathing was deepening and his skin returned to a healthy color. They were quick that couldn't have been more then a minute.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAyo882wOu9Y
"There's a mirror, only you hold. While broken its mending. Friend." She whispered in his ear.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAErH5piLjdM
"Now, get up."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAfgPR0rHILD
Parcival pushed upright and frowned. "What did you do?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAd1jyOJMz2d
"Nothing for you to worry about." Kar was still busy with Han.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAe8WX4N4nfn
"You have to get out of here. Go." Her arms wobbled, it was hard staying upright.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAycn3f25rcT
A flurry of soft padding of feet from behind. Han came over, breathing hard. His eyes wide.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAg6sx1N0swa
"I have shown restraint, more then you deserve. She is where she needs to be. Leave."
694Please respect copyright.PENANArT3zwO1Vs7
She twisted around, Kar stood there.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAqzaTfdMNeJ
Parcival shot up, lost his balance and crashed down. "I'm not much use right now."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Qsj9GLaq
"Crawl out. I don't care how you go. Do it soon, before I decide to drain you both of your life force."
694Please respect copyright.PENANA5oYSUVuBKc
"Han, get out of here and take Parcival with you."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAe05GDTccLr
"Are you insane? I can't morally leave you with him!" His tail twitched.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAkV7d0C3SgB
He vanished and stood next to Parcival, his staff pointed at the doorway.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA7JYyGe13Oz
Han looked at her, his ears and whiskers drooped. "We'll get help."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAbrgpFkrJy9
"No, don't come back."
694Please respect copyright.PENANALU8fuauJha
"You don't mean that." His eyes teared up.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAEqMh7nTKFz
"I do, I told that silly human to leave me alone. You too. Take him and get away from me. I can take care of myself."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAXvEV4jMhb5
The words hurt and it was hard to look at him.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAMkQOiWcmZl
He scampered over to Parcival, held up his arm over his shoulder, and dragged him out the door.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA1uKrTHV5T9
Hope they make it out. Goodbye. Her eyes stung and watered she rubbed them. She sniffed and wiped her nose on a hand.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAcWV1pPHXTB
Footsteps behind her, Kar came into view.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAQjd1mi43am
"I do regret doing this, but what you have in here ..."
694Please respect copyright.PENANA8psIQ07dSM
He tapped her head, a pulse spread from his finger tips through her head.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Dt0l92HL
"Is needed. It won't be much longer now. I can't say if you'll survive."
694Please respect copyright.PENANA90ydRM7xe1
She didn't want to answer, but the fogginess increased. Her vision doubled again.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA7JXvuREREY
"What ... did ..." Her head slumped to the side.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA9MYykXrN8s
He shifted and his forum wavered back to the youth.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAtInX7SI7hJ
"Much better. If you behave and don't fight it you'll feel much better. Try relaxing."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAEnTw6skj7v
"I-don't understand."
694Please respect copyright.PENANA9polz3QNkF
"It's simple, I know you house the unnamed one. Only an adapt could survive its toxic spirit."
694Please respect copyright.PENANABupMXwxHoc
I don't know what you're talking about, she almost said. But, as she thought it a sudden headache stabbed the side of her head.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAoYyrrr2zWC
"Gahhh." She ground her teeth and waited for it to pass.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAaoJ5vd1tye
"You'll find out soon enough just what that potion does, it's fully activated now."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAKQBLNuISzB
He smiled that hollow smile of his and tapped his own forehead.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAdC1SVsANNm
"Its effects will be clear soon enough."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAU98D7FgTgy
"This is awful. You're awful." She swallowed a lump in her throat.
694Please respect copyright.PENANApxpJMmsYNG
"There see honesty. Good girl."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAsLS05YY6wf
"Do not fight me, or in this case even think about it."
694Please respect copyright.PENANA2kXl5KFLhZ
"Undergods burn you!"
694Please respect copyright.PENANA7pthOvoq9Q
"Such language." He did a series of complicated hand gestures.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAuf1NLmlebY
"Faster."
694Please respect copyright.PENANASYoDO7v6xy
What? She stood, the numbness left her legs.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAM6yvZOg9x6
"I don't feel like carrying you. Follow."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAur6C2kL9VY
She rubbed her eyes. Don't get tired now.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAuHnimy3Dsw
"We are moving to the Great Hall. Night is coming and it's going to become quite cold."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAl3gJtCfPGv
He walked out of the room, she was compelled to follow behind, fighting it just shot pain up and down her spine.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAziPLs0fvH9
She sucked in air through her teeth the fogginess increased it took over, she walked quickly catching up.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAddMEewDXov
Asleep or awake? She clamped her hands together. Awake, definitely awake.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA0zCKqZUU85
"Tell me, did they cast any protection spell on you?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANA06qGjP3ALG
He walked faster down the hallway.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAvg47TWH646
She tried to resist. This earned her another head pain.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAVsUJmKG1lQ
"Y--e-s."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAxt2fk1WqOu
"The containers, the liquid was meant to pull Unnamed out by converting him to algae. It don't work as expected. The rest is far too technical to bother to explain it to you."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAHI0cKqFYwo
He turned a corner down into a dark candle lit narrow hallway. The lights flickered and cast shadows that moved about as if they were alive.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA1e5C1BADnz
The walls were decorated with elaborate paintings. A huge one that spanned from the ceiling to the floor was a woman. She had long blond hair that went down the length of her back. The detail was amazing, as if you reached out to touch it, then it would be as soft as it looked. Her eyes were a bright amber like wolfs eyes, and her lashes thick and long. The rest if her features were of equal beauty.
694Please respect copyright.PENANABmKFhR1hqc
Kar stopped silent and watched her. She looked at him.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAi7S8wYvegP
"That was my wife of a distant past. You remind me of her. Both of you were obstinate and strong willed." His face hardened and what little softness was in his eyes vanished.
694Please respect copyright.PENANACcP03oKgNA
"You will have but no choice to listen."
694Please respect copyright.PENANA9N5vT0Q7N5
He stormed over to her.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAJeXiBXoKNQ
"You and your people will end this world. Do you have any clue, that what you carry within?" He shook his head.
694Please respect copyright.PENANADSCYPtv9UP
She leaned back as much as possible. Acid rose in her throat burning.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAxWG437YXNy
He passed under a large archway. Straight ahead was a large fireplace, tall enough a person could stand in it. The wooden Overmantle had carvings of knights with swords and spears drawn. On both ends of the mantle was a large winged griffin. Their wings were held up and curved upward.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAyk9qzfRFwZ
He moved her over to a wooden high backed chair, this was a few feet from the fireplace. A small table on the left side, with another chair at the end.
694Please respect copyright.PENANARL95yMh5QW
He sat her down on the one on the right. He was in front of her, his breath smelled of something sweet.
694Please respect copyright.PENANATRJdLj5ZZk
"Vow to do as I say and not to escape, I tire of chasing after you, like a misbehaving pup."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAv1MqxdE93L
She glared at him, and wished he would fall down below in flames to greet the dark gods. To be bound to him by a vow, no, no. Her mind went blank.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAQfaa2snSTj
"Say it."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAIVHhl55P3o
He put a hand on her right shoulder squeezing it, the pain was intense and seared the skin, wisps of smoke wafted through his fingers right on the still healing scratch.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAZC29dPctvO
"I refuse."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAI3C4aNoCXH
A vow can never be broken, doing so always incurred Olenus wrath. Have to fight this. She sat up straight and looked though him, not at him. Another jolt of pain singed through her again she ground her teeth. Every hair on her arms stood up. His nails grew longer and he dug them into the scratch widening it.
694Please respect copyright.PENANArYMXCmNH3b
She orbited her shoulder and leaned back, pushing on his chest with a hand.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAfleUsh3rsq
"Get off!"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAljKcgH1tzk
A Dusk rat came over to Kar.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA5wDusMIbHx
"Master the man things are still down stairs."
694Please respect copyright.PENANApNsCxdAx0T
"I don't have much to say, but that what I say you should weigh carefully. What do you think will happen if you continue to refuse?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAntB61Cvpn8
The fireplace caught her attention and she stared at it.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAgHZb5bEABM
He moved close to her face next to an ear.
694Please respect copyright.PENANA5l0Mo6kHrk
"Do it, or I'll bring your friends back and have them take the potion. What I will make them vow would be of a far-less pleasant nature. The human how long do you think he'll be able to hold out?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAVpmWpw1HNm
He held up a finger.
694Please respect copyright.PENANASPMzVDYHwa
"I say a minute or less, he's so young ..."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAR5goQOeitu
She hung her head, her eyebrows twitched as she fought back a snarl that pulled on her lips and face. It was true. Parcival was at least thirty years younger ...
694Please respect copyright.PENANA8J3D1SPaJN
"I vow ... to do as you say, and not to escape."
694Please respect copyright.PENANALBC7gj6Ujn
The clamp of the vow became physical, a small feather etched on the top of her hand, like a light scar long healed. A reminder from Olenus.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAqaoD5Ai1fB
Her eyes burned they stung as she fought back the tears.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAdLHxJFVMNX
"One more thing. If the others return you will protect me at all costs or that what you drank will instantly kill you."
694Please respect copyright.PENANANRyZ8Pdtlz
He placed his other hand under her chin and squeezed it.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAxQPFe5aInW
"I'm being kinder than you know. The others how much do you trust them?"
694Please respect copyright.PENANAq2vMKQbXnZ
"Far more than you."
694Please respect copyright.PENANAU8mVv84TTN
She blinked rapidly and breathed in a few breaths. He didn't say I had to give direct answers.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAVP2HTaYG4J
His eyebrow twitched. He squeezed again and pulled his hand away roughly. Kar went over to the fireplace and flicked his fingers. The logs in it sparked and soon a fire started.
694Please respect copyright.PENANAaKEDLLDyuR
