"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4Zvv6dijPl
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqXp8qgPYgr
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAu9xMFTKqm7
He paused.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA0at97Ou6uv
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANArn3XL5PQz0
He scooted closer.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAzIn5j8iCoW
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAevmyTbUHf8
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYLHtwvOVe0
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtwqbEd9kvz
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMGFyyg7qPW
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgiq6HOHfLg
He ignored her twitching.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsnyPTckY5p
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAp9rjaH8ITa
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcl3xH5lFW7
She swallowed.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAjLd85imwoj
"Can you guess what it is?"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAHE2SopyAgi
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAGyl3ucK3y6
"A strange knife?"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAEZAA7xXobW
He shook his head.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANARCdBUzn09y
"Wrong!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3dOtfasQ5o
A knock on the door.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA7vN5Vu0IhK
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6YeMR1RqpM
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANADo1HoeIb4e
"Feeling any better?"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANArAJmqCxvV3
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvNtUH6dykq
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApOpDcLCSIV
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANALPlSOq6Oh9
He came back.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA22tusNvTdN
"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."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2iqrb9tKnY
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ9OOX25eF
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPQvvWeThAn
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxgRgzDLAit
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAXa7iNH85Zt
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA56KM92eH6u
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPpFZNbQaS4
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAOURk8uYzNx
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtT4wy1FaPI
Tap.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4WczwWo9Qu
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbHuvK46E7z
"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."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAjV6oq7Uxbn
Huh?
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAfByYyCgUcT
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4djQd70wrX
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANArPvq0cUBO5
"No, the other one."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3c2OVv97DZ
"There is no other."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA286ZrrLYux
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANADFMvjrRGFe
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqSmBfvxYOK
"Stop!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAadhLwJcekP
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAktpl29i3uG
Not tubes again.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAVEUBBqUAPc
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAqtondadyt8
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAV2tcwTG24X
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA74J1StU4GD
"Stop!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA4LSWQhlAna
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACDajDQMzVU
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAZPFleItxGC
The priest pushed her back down.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA9NWSuCMs4L
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA7EDavQcwuJ
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANABxsQdCgwY8
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANASUUDrphBJW
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAU3ccBz0X65
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAWtfnBfggtQ
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAJmwxLwpJrQ
"You'll apologize later."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANATrA6JZ4cZI
Crack. Pop.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA7Uekots02B
"What in the world was that?" he said.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvxQRsLw5Nv
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAePoZAPcEsa
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAuLYdWtsQ5L
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbD6TaqOaq0
"Humm ..."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA34USur1ivm
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?
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcLsIgte85i
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAehC5U0WD6b
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtNCVyqZcCJ
"Take the tubing out first."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3FuRh0Emn3
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANATQBzCBTQoy
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgq3usCChti
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAgp4Gb2Utat
"I need my tools."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAy5Uo97v5FI
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAO6tLJbhEyD
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAUj7ewNkFkv
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsW1mGV3cDu
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rql7tthPN
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmscm5CICOC
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdCEskguqda
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYJuW1Vt9uK
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA0saRgvUlk9
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1wr9yeItM
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYSQJk0YrQZ
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAi4cH7qiFT5
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANADPq32uxRzA
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAoo96fa2EC7
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA2l6p8YFn70
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAC4SeyUDutY
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAHygaK1dUfz
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAf8Q1EqIm1X
A figure waved though the smoke.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3hCkmAMNyz
"Merry! Over here!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAdoFvymDs5R
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACKHPlLtZA5
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAQAQ93tQBcI
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxcXxTEbsXf
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAl9Ft8n5gTr
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAy8A1HuXhyO
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmfh9npW0hu
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAPkagwCUZoj
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA0vxgogpFrO
The idiot priest bent over her.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAuBxiAd5ibQ
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANANWLPeENiqX
She ground her teeth.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApL5IrM54EK
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAoDmycBJ2oU
"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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcuMmsMJtEX
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAtu06GEmwiR
Fists pounded on the door.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAhPDS1qNvgN
"Merryn!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAXMFTkAecL9
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6Tn48lhxQa
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?
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAbs3eKna9P9
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAS0xozZyqxk
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA6RasEvsnPx
She bit on the edge of his hand.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxmYQxns0mx
"Ouch!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAW3A0WrQLzl
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAlY5gHjO1QC
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAci15VcOwN8
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAS8QNviW35q
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeUYA90wsUB
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA3I2otiwZW3
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwSrEvLfuqA
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAj3M9hgT27s
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmKdntOllwE
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAk6fgNRWrih
Skittt. Thump.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMEdX4O8W44
A sword burst through the door.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANACOqJBb40jc
"Merryn!"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA5AiucvdodC
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA1iwJWlwMUT
She cracked her knuckles.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAEsNw4BukJS
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAvAK2ZAhchf
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAG33J7eL6mY
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAUdJGqbu0pk
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAsypOTNG60E
He backed away. Grinning.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANASlSQR0Is8Y
She paused.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA9XNgHVg8wf
"Good." he said.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAwM8a1erRKH
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAMx62dgnioa
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAT32p0Qwq1h
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAjghJoeGcQi
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAWjLlE5NTj7
"Jason."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAyxt2R8BsKP
"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."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcvdqmwpVRr
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANANgYW563bgF
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeIF4kOokBG
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANATsigRMcVHH
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAkG97J5yqzF
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmTmYRCziGW
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAYm5qxIGKTy
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAGxHMOqLDf4
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAeaJuvgQhB0
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANADgvemeTh0K
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxMFBjXGE2b
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.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAcl5X9IvxVA
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAxValZMAUGJ
Should kill him.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAe06xxxsDt3
Next time. I need rest.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAaIfBT8Qrnp
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANABdP2zUHE0D
Parcival picked her up.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAmyORwzRbbs
"Thank you."
1037Please respect copyright.PENANApoZKbV4UDs
"We're friends, right?"
1037Please respect copyright.PENANAaNa7t5DGo3
She smiled.
1037Please respect copyright.PENANA88k8ICzTQT
