"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMqdHMUhHD0
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAf2fCWRMgCn
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAD2zf1S86H8
He paused.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPPZI3T9LV0
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbrkbQlIrSB
He scooted closer.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAjMdXQpwDQy
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAFNU0Kje1hY
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAYAXU9zMYqU
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcjfpzJ42eP
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8GaYS9l7Jw
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAfzyaDe7byw
He ignored her twitching.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAmgO1Mh6sTs
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEIUTVRcpUp
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAX860Pulvsy
She swallowed.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAi2ypkJ8W04
"Can you guess what it is?"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaCyGhIxsCv
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANALKOM6ynn1t
"A strange knife?"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAv0aEQzmrRI
He shook his head.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArfl4vx3xCe
"Wrong!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAd9VcR1KbJI
A knock on the door.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANACsO6zNuMjJ
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZEf5R4GX2C
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAeV7fL7fWFq
"Feeling any better?"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm7deEeihAX
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAD9eNDGTQAg
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1SODnWHKHp
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAARwe3x87st
He came back.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA9n0GtKHSUB
"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."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA59jp2k4RFY
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoQO5LSm6Pq
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGun6MqCcBM
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAGjUSzaSguc
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAdic2xle7Bu
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANADeMrdeyyDd
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJLFlhls7LI
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnbhvs8q3BU
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgD67cKRlMf
Tap.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAV1cijoanmt
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAro1kvgsdVB
"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."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAY4EyDmhLoN
Huh?
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAZPMvNCv7ol
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANApZE9SbcfQ4
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEoQxS651yK
"No, the other one."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsDncEMX56n
"There is no other."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4XYbwcr4AX
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyEFeqRZxaV
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAEJjjERgPMf
"Stop!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsP0ugWJMcU
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArSBMbeLCaS
Not tubes again.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASEO0cUgivn
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4nvLgcYMbj
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANABkO8vwtIYp
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA50WYiTFtQI
"Stop!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxqmcj0Gk5c
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA7g7DbXVeuc
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA13mE2WPoWv
The priest pushed her back down.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAanKWTudwfr
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8Lh8Vwlrzw
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArD6M12q7RW
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoJZjdjRBKV
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA8uecPL6GLK
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyrIhWVmSf7
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaNXKlyY5d8
"You'll apologize later."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcOjIvEr2u7
Crack. Pop.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn7AwmTfqbg
"What in the world was that?" he said.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3WKOOAsGVm
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAk2QpDfDyZ2
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsKlWdW85DK
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsEXJKVp2DP
"Humm ..."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgC1KQ8ZR5V
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?
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoJnAJeiKzs
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPj1iX0tGqT
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAn5wHo9NN14
"Take the tubing out first."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAcGj9z7XsBz
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAwDPaSSEZp9
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6nAzZsbBJo
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8AtnpOQ0R
"I need my tools."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAC0LGZsoZnJ
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAoS6raKTzCv
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPYGm7UXeam
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHhpn6thufV
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAl3QT7PpJAn
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPkcjbD6lKN
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7cXFeaUu1
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAs2Y7IcUjwn
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHDIToGcpEY
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAapQFVFawGZ
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxiD7jZuoDt
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Htr0le5a
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAAnOl5rJX4z
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAowvXvcTIj2
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUt8VeqKMiL
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzADEnSeX40
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIYycdC4e0a
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbXfetZx33Q
A figure waved though the smoke.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAebMWQTf1Ab
"Merry! Over here!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANALaET6nnfL4
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxmI5psnkAf
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAId8pPPvePm
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANARbEnoJGBrt
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlmzdyhLWFY
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANABKaRmzxGHT
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAXhJuLglwaf
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAK5hSfWzSiW
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzyi07PZhhc
The idiot priest bent over her.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAUDjtJ5FkFg
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAzBSctwLErc
She ground her teeth.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAecGR7j60gl
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1ezDjx1VFf
"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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANANDJ6leYUAm
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA2BDCQmykTD
Fists pounded on the door.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANANtWfCd0vB2
"Merryn!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsamFaFTj0Z
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm7YxUj3ua2
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?
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASuWsJ1fBip
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA90N6ftgUzx
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA546zQpvTs9
She bit on the edge of his hand.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArMh0wN0juR
"Ouch!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAu7z1fYRgUG
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAaPeMJzwV7d
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHarVsxeSSC
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA1eu7inrd4I
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANASdrf2qOyAh
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAvHU7xRWPhG
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPW6kgFJM0M
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAE4zm6YKTzL
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3cf4Qjs7SS
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAVoGe8eF2D3
Skittt. Thump.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAiTHzbgaw1x
A sword burst through the door.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAF2aA9e6VhU
"Merryn!"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAPpfCdqomCx
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAJecD0BYaMv
She cracked her knuckles.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANArhBRiUQn2Y
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANATDrXLNvnKq
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAgMcoImXDV0
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6TYZkcxGX8
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAE8Ex0Hr366
He backed away. Grinning.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQXWovKV8l9
She paused.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAbSrN3PRjDB
"Good." he said.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA46ayCEyUID
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAlZBHwca4GH
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAnjMBsOAkzu
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAOs8DM1Son5
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAm0V7O8JXvE
"Jason."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAsrjvXnlgFH
"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."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANATBZSbyveB0
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAKWcFn5yo6X
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAQJDqxr8HZn
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAIN9gycu747
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA6VlPMhk7BK
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA47zRS1149N
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA4tztBlJf5o
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANA3EKMQyBBDG
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANADviww3I7t1
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANACoGPee1AxA
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAyKkxfE7ccm
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.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHX5rW4QIfP
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANATRM6QN0Rm0
Should kill him.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAl4LuaYAQpB
Next time. I need rest.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ8TDX3ikB
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANACCEDKoGNWW
Parcival picked her up.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAxphp0V1xBm
"Thank you."
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAV8dQhEOmJH
"We're friends, right?"
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAMdFLVj6YC7
She smiled.
1041Please respect copyright.PENANAX2kMx51z1i
