She pushed on his chest while turning him about. Then did the same to Han. "Go!"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAG5gAO7Qzcd
"I resent being-"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwLTOEZM47o
She growled at him. The Ancient side threatened to rip through her layers of self-control.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAb1wAyqXImv
She grabbed their arms, flipping them over twenty feet away, onto the soft grasses.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAzXXZ4ncRwL
The spider-nab dropped out of the tree. She growled at it, unable to speak. Her body dripped with sweat. Daggers in hand.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA5WcJR5pOns
I like this side of you. It's amusing to me, Unnamed said.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAk8B3ae20PN
Just shut up.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA8QwMtQOPHN
It lunged at her aiming for her head.
746Please respect copyright.PENANACRwAVD2pbm
She dodged it then sliced at its leg. The dagger bounced off, almost flying from her hand. How'd it ever get this far out?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAa5MQbvxQCI
Parcival and Han ran over.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAJIIDS8WCHI
Parcival spread his feet cupping his hands together. Spreading them an energy ball shot out from his palms. It hit the spider-nab on its thorax, it backed away squealing.
746Please respect copyright.PENANACcv337fWF1
It hissed low raising on its back legs, she rolled to the side, but not before its fangs sank into her arm.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAThqYomONKI
She screamed.
746Please respect copyright.PENANApT4VmCWDwv
The poison already was paralyzing her arm, it burned. She went down to her knees, hands propped on the soil. The blood lust vanished.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlkA3gdDcgy
"Merryn!"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAImtmyznlZH
Han bounded over. Could only see his furry feet. He set his hands on her shoulders, a warming sensation spread down her back.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAB2lC77Rlcq
She coughed.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAXhnoRAlGES
The spider-nab let out an airy squeal.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAe4ZluO0c0G
"Die already!" Parcival poked its abdomen with his saber.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAmvkPTvgPf9
The Adapts are wrong. Humans aren't week. She smiled a tiny bit.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAszvMTx2ogF
The warmth receded, as a burning starting at the base of her spine pushing it away.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAufvmkAdDWI
"It's not working! Parcival quit playing with it and kill it already."
746Please respect copyright.PENANAJyzRW8vEp8
She sank down on her stomach. So tired now.
746Please respect copyright.PENANASBiEzWZTcC
Her heartbeat in forefront, slowed.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAEMyZ08Nji3
Thud-thump.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAoTNYRCYpoz
The spider-nab fell down into its own body fluids, as its appendages were chopped off. Good.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAM2hIPQXmVg
Idiot, should have taken the mountain route. Gods hex it all! If it ... get's free they'll die too.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAOwLAtAbSqK
Thud-thump.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxS8xZ2vlAh
One of them snorted. "You call that playing?"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAK3lxOlpHNh
"Can you fix this?"
746Please respect copyright.PENANA2J4VHdBQfe
"No, it's too hard. She needs a higher tier priest. I'm more of a scribe then a healer."
746Please respect copyright.PENANA3UaiG1Y8qZ
"Leave me."
746Please respect copyright.PENANAy4EEi5L96N
"Did you say something?" One of them said, as to who, well, they both sounded metallic.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAuJTDlG1hqL
"She's becoming cold. Hurry up!"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAutjjVwNkYU
The burning poison spread into her torso, then to her toes.
746Please respect copyright.PENANASFExzKINpw
Thud-thump.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAeUQOQVqpmS
"Need to hurry, her aura is fading."
746Please respect copyright.PENANAk2NqUpFCWz
"She's delirious."
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlAHdonwc75
One picked her up. She shuttered as the touch sent a shock into the biten sholder.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAdhAHZ5G5Ma
"Sorry."
746Please respect copyright.PENANAr2KwsJXyTu
Some use I am, falling to poison of all things.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYNeJDT7VoX
Curses and angry words filled her ears.
746Please respect copyright.PENANACPeiBOATut
Thoughts became heavy after this and her eyesight cloudy. She closed them.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4GQLCqP6Oy
You dare to die on me vessel? I'm not done! Answer me now!
746Please respect copyright.PENANAhoLyRjqzmS
"Merryn! Don't give way to sleep!"746Please respect copyright.PENANAWSPbX9M6r1
746Please respect copyright.PENANAbFj5PyXCwO
Shaking.
746Please respect copyright.PENANACcJP5dmsYx
Thud.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAO38GtE446L
The darkness gathered from all sides, each sense faded in turn until just the darkness remained.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAKSSiiVkitu
Silence.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAnEDbBGIKGy
####
746Please respect copyright.PENANAgfcovWEcgZ
After an innumerable amount of time a thrilling floating sensation started. Slow at first, then it built up speed. Almost like thoughts in tangible form. An echo all around rippled and flowed backwards. This echo, a thought crystallized and took form.
746Please respect copyright.PENANARjsVOSp3mc
Where am I?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9t2VsVReq
All looked different, had a gray tint to it like when at night. She stood behind Parcival.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA3hwiWFX7GF
He shook ... my body?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAE5AbvYzNlY
Then shouted while he carried her as he ran towards a dirt road off to the east.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAy2C50x2Hxf
She was pulled out along with them, so stopped trying to walk.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAaz6jMDaA5x
I hope they figure out my body needs to be sealed or Unnamed will come out. Probably kill them. Why?!
746Please respect copyright.PENANA2VOo3ngMQ2
There were threads of energy connected to the body. They were so transparent that they were easy to miss.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4ePCtQnGa5
My fingers. She formed a fist and thrust her right spirit arm to the side.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAnx7zowh389
Nothing.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAjawVW3i2Ws
Now what?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAUwGVga2RxB
Energy. What was it mom said about this again?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAUwZTiaSVVF
The two humans reached a town of some sort. Parcival talked with several people before running off with her body to the end of the town.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAEksA7JgIpM
Energy. Our souls are energy, with bodies of flesh to ... to what?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAdoDx8QPosH
Memories were as slippery now as an interrupted dream.
746Please respect copyright.PENANABigmZj4XLJ
A kind looking priest came out of a small marble temple. These back towns couldn't afford grand ones, what with marble so hard to obtain.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAhelFgbDm6F
Hum. Some used treestone but it wasn't the same it didn't collect the light spirts energy as well.
746Please respect copyright.PENANASbepeWc7eg
What was I doing?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAacswgoxAlJ
Part of her wanted to wander inside.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwo1BcEYGme
The priest looked straight at her.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAgQvxOMEbpQ
Can he see me?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlPSKq0Bfgk
He visibly paled. Then began talking rapidly to tall armored man and the puffy cathet man.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAaayrVGfMWN
They all went inside, pulling her with.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA1LSXRgpClS
Ick. Her body was swollen and seeped blood from her mouth and nose. Yuck.
746Please respect copyright.PENANANrFa1P364J
She backed away as far as the thread would allow.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAFI0ht4Qk44
Her body twitched and jerked.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAD5Ls1fLgDS
Oh. Right. That's what I've been doing.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAmqlVTQNZvY
She jumped and flung both arms up.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAvZ2n556AyM
Nothing. Again?
746Please respect copyright.PENANA2yh7yl0UYb
Okay... backing up further she tried once more. Her body jumped up with its arm in the air out of the man's hold onto the floor.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4Dg7uZakZN
All three yelled and backed off from the body.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAemjwob5Odk
Oops.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4pWqI0Ga75
The priest brushed off robe, talked to the men. Parcival picked her up. The priest went to some other room, then came back carrying a cup filled with whitish fluid. Well, it was hard to tell as all was grayish.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWmMvRXNzFf
He dipped two fingers in it, then traced a curve on the floor. Repeating this until a large rune was completed this one had symbols of the sun throughout it along with overlapping leaf and water patterns. In the middle an empty circle.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAoSZxcBIsVG
He pointed to the armored man, who nodded and placed her body there on her back.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGag9wc4Ryc
The priest talked some more, and they all sat down. The priest at the North end of the rune, Parcival west and Han East.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAgyIfRrYeyo
It was difficult to watch, she squeezed her eyes shut.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAVabvzrKlg0
When she opened them her body's eyes opened as well.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAjP5fxnEsJY
All three sat around her cross-legged, they startled when the body's eyes opened.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAGt7FqDxCJd
The priest talked again and held his arms in front with palms up forward. The others the same. They all were all so grim. He began talking, no chanting as his lips moved in the same manner each time.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAVKrGTyz3ah
I'll just sit here, trying to move just upsets them.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAW1FPIySlDr
She sat beside the armored man. He shivered.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAKWembDx4vT
A bright beam extended out of the priests palms seconds later the same from the others.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAI8sa40rvkh
The beams intersected together over her torso.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlpatzoM8HL
Her body writhed.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxWFOpfUNqe
Vines sprouted from under the body and whipped out at the three, coiling around them.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAyqkTqps1wd
That can't be good. That's right, for good or ill, I'm that things vessel, must be looking for energy.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAAa1py7ylmX
But ... why care? A new pulling sensation different from the darker ancient one tugged.
746Please respect copyright.PENANACjgpogwX6Y
A transparent branch pushed out of the flooring behind the priest. The pulling tugged at her. Voices filled the room. She stood and went over to it.
746Please respect copyright.PENANALqpoEShhzO
The branch grew, and more pushed out rising up until a tall tree stood. Its trunk glowed in the middle like a door. In it an outline if an old familiar Elvien man. His hand outstretched, mouthing the words:
746Please respect copyright.PENANAfYp3OeSDJE
"Come."
746Please respect copyright.PENANA8QB04z3mSX
She held back just shy of taking his hand. Tears wet her cheeks. Grandfather. She shook her head slowly.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAyf2eDfvWVt
He nodded and turned back into the tree. It dipped back down, vanishing.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAJhBVuQ4t3D
Twisting around, the men struggled under the vines. She frowned. Why are they so important?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAqn4AAAMOqk
Yes. The god. The weakened god. Was it trying to take their energy?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAHPD3LcIQRb
She pushed it aside and went over to her body. She gathered the threads in both hands and yanked on them. Come on!
746Please respect copyright.PENANApMH3KaPONv
The body twitched.
746Please respect copyright.PENANABxb3NcFZgi
Vines erupted out from her mouth, they wrapped her body covering it. While the other ones tightened. The vines glowed and Han slumped over.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAjiZtYO3TlU
Must do something! But what?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAHJSk6TiCge
The priest jumped up, tensing up his arms.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAp1KHSJEjOh
That is it!
746Please respect copyright.PENANA0pJAtBhMpW
Sweat ran down his face as he tensed against the bonds.
746Please respect copyright.PENANATmDq7I8Maa
She ran back as far as the threads would allow and jerked them. Her body went flying to the left and went down into the wall, cracking the marble. The vines snapped, ozing out sap.
746Please respect copyright.PENANALIxjLkVNTZ
Turning back, the priest was glowing. The vines split, showing a glowing white hand.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAymzp5WdAiq
I see, he used a light spell to cut it. Clever. Light has heat as well.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYwnAXT0Tnq
He freed the others, than walked over in front of her then pointed at the body.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAC8wFYLZsnP
It was in bad shape, not just ravaged by the poison, but wounds lanced its back. Some vines pieces still stuck out and mixed with the blood. A leg and arm were twisted in all the wrong angles.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxcknX4dZ7v
I'm not going back in that!
746Please respect copyright.PENANAsA73Rdq8p5
He looked at her and pointed to it.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA5NIvFbjTIv
What? What do you want? I can't go back in. Right?
746Please respect copyright.PENANA7DOS0n9vpe
She shuttered.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAlnSddP0S6y
The man in armor came and gingerly picked up the body, placing it again on the rune.
746Please respect copyright.PENANALRD4uPZ7kY
She moved forward following it some.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAhun4UAJcP0
They talked again and started up the bright beam again. This time finishing and covering the body.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA4lriBjzN3R
The thread shortened dragging her toward it.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA8GLtxnDdH9
No! I changed my mind! She clawed at the smooth marble unable to grip it.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAcQeAJNjYB7
A foot off a spirit lay next to her body, its eyes had large bags under them and its cheeks were sunken in. He smiled, all canines long and sharp.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAkqkqK3l4Hm
A final tug pulled her back in.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAt5Q3dZjAeP
The world flooded back, lights, sounds, color.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAbpbekg4XiV
Pain.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAQWVeVTlzmo
Everything is pain.
746Please respect copyright.PENANABDgQvWTHVI
Her body twitched.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAuhO7uj9yeJ
Han had his hands on her chest, they glowed green.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAIz7wqBDlwh
No, let me die!
746Please respect copyright.PENANAHxh7P1iaxB
A touch.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAabmJovufDl
The man ... Parcival. He held her.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAECkIy6eY8Y
"Stop scaring me like that," he said.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAqSaXlDb7kt
A croaking sound came from her was she tried to speak. She coughed and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3esSLkSLw
He stiffened. "Get over here and heal her all ready!"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAKpFYmysIxS
"Of course," a gravely voice said. She turned her head a little. Ah, the priest.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAYbIZz63ytV
Her body strained to bend during a spasm, her back cracked.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAyOgK5Ajij1
"Yaaaa!"
746Please respect copyright.PENANARCNZ7b1Vz0
The wall. My back hit the wall.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA1Vmhrsp5Oo
Tears squeezed out, as all of the pain scorched through her. She clenched her jaw.
746Please respect copyright.PENANA00FwUfkCog
"Don't let her move, she's still close to death. Keep her sill."
746Please respect copyright.PENANACqEPTm4FI5
Parcival's huge hand hovered over her face, then rested on the crown of her head the other pushed down on her stomach.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAQP10BImSgV
"Stop moving," the priest said.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAmMfz13FFuB
"Shhhh."
746Please respect copyright.PENANATblGBm8XDQ
She huffed. It did hurt less being still. Or was that the healing spell?
746Please respect copyright.PENANAm5NCVCiV6N
Regardless a not so bad numbness seeped in. Her face relaxed, she unclenched her jaw.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAqvB1DchhUv
Hans face hovered over. "How do you feel now?"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAT0Ox2mgUoZ
"Numb."
746Please respect copyright.PENANAMHb3Aj3nEm
He managed to pale under the fur. He looked at the priest who shook his head.
746Please respect copyright.PENANABXfBg53QpN
"Go grab the long flat board in the other room."
746Please respect copyright.PENANApmfJNPmdGl
Han came back a while later, holding it. They held her neck and back with their hands, then slid her on it.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAxUq3pqeeHa
It pinched. But do-able.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAwl4Y0TaNrU
They took her to a room with a small bed and lifted her on it.
746Please respect copyright.PENANABGJk0zL7cG
"Go now, I'll tend to her. Get some rest," the priest said.
746Please respect copyright.PENANANfC7wFK5JY
Later they left, he closed the door, then came back.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAZJsiPO3Id5
"What to do with you?" He brought a thin object from under the left side if his robe.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAqvzYfyFhVG
Its handle that showed shone in the candle light.
746Please respect copyright.PENANAtvtNu5tdMz
She flinched and was rewarded with a bolt of pain that sucked away her breath.
746Please respect copyright.PENANASvxKo4uJH1
"If I heal you that thing lives. If I let you die it will be free. Correct?"
746Please respect copyright.PENANAWO0swnk3Db
He stuck his face up into hers. "Why do you host an evil spirit? I can see it, it disgusts me!"
746Please respect copyright.PENANA9okdg3WF82
She shook, unable to answer. Please shut up. Even my teeth hurt. She closed her eyes. Go away. Go away. The pain is better than dealing with you!
746Please respect copyright.PENANACo9Yil7G7n
