"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA8U76ZMGFkJ
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
958Please respect copyright.PENANADj7xDCk6K4
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
958Please respect copyright.PENANANpmo8zRDau
He paused.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAtr44N1k6iS
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA5OODqDBpcF
He scooted closer.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAhG8TtOEwWv
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAs6DdYm17M8
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAIq9zBJ8P8v
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAHYtyMLdBRV
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAibGl43CdY0
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAoyV8R2lXXn
He ignored her twitching.
958Please respect copyright.PENANALOt1E4DpF0
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAXgb4fs4TUL
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAoQDEcjSDs0
She swallowed.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAJh48cuID9t
"Can you guess what it is?"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWgRxFFsyMd
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAgHpNqxNWVQ
"A strange knife?"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAITNZ5dHAmP
He shook his head.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAcRrGzVXd47
"Wrong!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAdiZEgKdBJl
A knock on the door.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAURHXEV3kc4
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAoeVkNIq7gk
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
958Please respect copyright.PENANARBnC4ucYK3
"Feeling any better?"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAsq9ByKQh5m
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAywFjTA4JVb
Parcival frowned and pat her hand. He went over to the priest, they talked in hushed tones. Parcival shook his head, then looked her way.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAMGOUtiFcFx
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAK7y9OirVHc
He came back.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWninClqJSN
"I need to leave for now, I'll come see how you're doing in five days. You need to heal, priests of Olenus can do no harm, so you'll be safe."
958Please respect copyright.PENANASf6tz2FCxn
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAypkms7WwnA
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAXqSkEa85Hu
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAZj8u8kJupz
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
958Please respect copyright.PENANArQ7Lv8U6Pn
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA4SsYWMmlER
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAK6ESVJuMuL
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA4LjY3hU52d
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAwAGJzyzQ6f
Tap.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ7FfICeE9
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAbM5ohp36ba
"There, now to continue without interference. I didn't tell you everything. The evil, it's possible to draw it out. But, it will cause great pain."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAzv2oOrUpwH
Huh?
958Please respect copyright.PENANA4JjYWpaVWR
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAe3RCNbkGse
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWS2qmKBhcS
"No, the other one."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAOl922rzbh8
"There is no other."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA17hx0MPeCz
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAzSjcKDVr03
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAiIm8EyJWHH
"Stop!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANA5QK8cgJFIA
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAW2Pf38kYmd
Not tubes again.
958Please respect copyright.PENANACuSoqeEatW
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAQiI4Th4PiZ
The floor was at least a foot down. Tensing each hand, the left one could still make a fist. The right broken. Rolling to the floor would be a risk.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAQQNEghRkER
He took the thin tubing, attaching it to a long tall coil that stood on a stand next to the wall near the foot of the bed, it reached up through the ceiling. A thin chain dangled down.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAGpcIrv5C5X
"Stop!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAIK4Jqfofg9
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
958Please respect copyright.PENANASwkh6yIqpI
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAr22FuY5c4y
The priest pushed her back down.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA0U8CHY0Xa8
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAhv4H18BElr
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA3l8QkPkYdt
A humming, then slurping came from above. The machine pumped up and down, each time it did it sucked out more blood until the coils turned crimson as a thin stream of light from a window slant lit it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANANN8EIkY9WV
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAs7Y9NSuj64
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAVGOfXntI9C
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAxwJhYi1uvs
"You'll apologize later."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAJlTUzEphrs
Crack. Pop.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAIGho2piXcx
"What in the world was that?" he said.
958Please respect copyright.PENANArX7n1obPsM
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAA5XaKGaxM4
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAXVmrggqAGO
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAs9yGEGSRg8
"Humm ..."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA3SPQUKw5rx
Won't be long now, the tubing had have pumped out about a pint and a half or so. How to get out of this mess?
958Please respect copyright.PENANA93Qil9pdRy
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAdMRpZhzhpb
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAaAyZNFsAZg
"Take the tubing out first."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAyObIrXB9H6
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAt7cuY8hmwE
He went back over to the contraption and tugged the chain slightly. The pumping slowed, was losing about half as much. Great, now a painful, slow death.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAoTp8Jj6Y1o
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAns6fyUuaSN
"I need my tools."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA6dp5QUH5Og
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAXjFSR0KLy7
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAmucqQUP16z
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA9hJANcTLs6
It took a while, but it finally came out. She cupped her good hand over the wound and laid back down, panting. Can't black out.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAzzomhMYqNB
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA5tjSMEmSwk
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
958Please respect copyright.PENANAxsrQ9vHJN0
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAyfF0KRmTed
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA4M2vDrzXnc
Mother pulled her off, placing the wounded arm in front of her. "Look. it's fine, it's healing already. Do as I tell you!" Merryn sniffed. The cut started to disappear.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA2MUQmFtTnD
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANA0qxAPiwQrV
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAZyNQui5H1k
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAftaO4kF8g3
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANA1LakR1SxRw
She startled, while running off ahead. Smoke from burning houses stung her nose, and made it hard to see. Several times an Elvin solder fought any human that tried to kill her.
958Please respect copyright.PENANArDD2B1c2pi
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAAVXHTUx5I7
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAV1qIIyI7PR
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAyGufJ4cJCE
A figure waved though the smoke.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA1VHialBYuw
"Merry! Over here!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANA0q3JY1e1bD
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
958Please respect copyright.PENANARtfeB13lG4
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAa9o75QgAkJ
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAzYIgYWIJvJ
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
958Please respect copyright.PENANAYBpnHngkDf
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAwumHsDabi9
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
958Please respect copyright.PENANALpYwVQi5z8
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANArKnmyUonsT
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAQTZ9kXkL1A
The idiot priest bent over her.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAv0fgQle4hg
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAf6JqU5Yg71
She ground her teeth.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAwG7YecTM72
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAqt1GDrkAwp
"Master said to fix you and that you didn't have a second spirit in you." His expression was like that of eating rotten meat.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAOWF4p3SqiD
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAyG5Arodmwx
Fists pounded on the door.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA5qJ8paDGSW
"Merryn!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAfgmPFV4oam
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAsWIpEH1aJn
She tried to pull it off with her left, but he just pressed down harder. This wasn't right a mere human shouldn't be stronger, had to be the injuries?
958Please respect copyright.PENANAVITnhw1sXS
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAuTJV4SIKbd
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA71aWC6qXSZ
She bit on the edge of his hand.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAN3vnlL8RD9
"Ouch!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAimOAf6NHdM
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAtKsU98eGJC
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAvJQO9M2u6V
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA99PZkyzUJT
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAXfwsh1TdRg
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAV7f4kKPjuM
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA5Wg5mueL7n
Going back to the table, he picked up the plank and slid it under the broken leg. His moments blurred, his hands were palms down as he hit down hard while yanking on the broken part.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAzV9VFuHO7C
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAQPXCqo1wDX
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA26Kfwc7OsE
Skittt. Thump.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWWk6o3DHdf
A sword burst through the door.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAkKNJmIeEq8
"Merryn!"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAZqM4lhNQyJ
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
958Please respect copyright.PENANABS8HhrdWK5
She cracked her knuckles.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAn97eC3sJmS
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAUsmQmLaRng
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWCYfIUVEWS
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAaiABDTnRfA
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAzaOwJOr290
He backed away. Grinning.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAGqxGDumbpY
She paused.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA8HtmhJynxM
"Good." he said.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAKt6Kq34FzI
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
958Please respect copyright.PENANA5bjk7PPayd
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAfnff4qzheu
He bent down while keeping eye contact and dipped his fingers in the blood. Scooting over he drew a fast, simple rune then stood on it.
958Please respect copyright.PENANATyJj8xmFQj
His body and clothing fell off like ashes. Underneath a different, lighter one showed through. Bright green eyes that contrasted his scorching red hair and pale skin. A hawk like nose made way to a strong jawline.
958Please respect copyright.PENANApaNM8wEWFN
"Jason."
958Please respect copyright.PENANADcYONXc83p
"You do remember me. Maxwell is coming, there's no point running away. Tell your guard dogs to back off. Although, I'm sure Master would enjoy making them howl."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAK4XNh6af44
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAxKCJVA81FV
Crashing and hacking at the door. It splintered down the middle, two hands pulled on the wood, it groaned collapsing off its pegs to the floor.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWJFgYA29if
She didn't flinch or look to see. Probably Parcival. All that mattered was getting to Jason. Have enough energy left to bash his head into the wall. With all his tricks he can't go through the walls.
958Please respect copyright.PENANADNNYZer5yR
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAeFlAAhrsLa
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAUC0EOhQCmA
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAaAgfaiaAU5
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
958Please respect copyright.PENANArK7F4gGVUb
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWal6OV2EVJ
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
958Please respect copyright.PENANADOqBcmBVuo
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAgn17GREJbO
Another step. She grabbed his head and bounced it on the wall. He slid down holding it in his hands. She ground her teeth again. Stiffly she knelled down and waited. He looked up.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAbUeijlmGvL
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
958Please respect copyright.PENANA5zAY2M5ZHo
Should kill him.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAoIaGXZoE4w
Next time. I need rest.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAWtIup2mTVn
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAKp0iChSo8M
Parcival picked her up.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAE7IYwGxQz2
"Thank you."
958Please respect copyright.PENANAN9o4LlJ89C
"We're friends, right?"
958Please respect copyright.PENANAkzVrSK3OG1
She smiled.
958Please respect copyright.PENANAFdL05zTjtl
