"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAgTFWaTUPFT
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAHS9VolsNis
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaW6ZuCsdz9
He paused.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dgn1SFLBI
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAPnQd9lye3B
He scooted closer.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAsvB9RKy6UQ
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAd44aCJ7kjz
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
716Please respect copyright.PENANA4SZRQtMVwk
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAu5AsZIj9Ff
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7rL80Su29R
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAi10ZJ4RnDP
He ignored her twitching.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAYNeqRD31yQ
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA1tdfqmKbE7
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZ49K82OKn2
She swallowed.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGvMStM8Dnw
"Can you guess what it is?"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvYNvG7Tpfn
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAEjIVkAZNdo
"A strange knife?"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAhGN64nyyDC
He shook his head.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwzzFVh3OD3
"Wrong!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAbZtmw9M0my
A knock on the door.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAygoGZuSV6v
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAHABXSDABPg
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA88NfG4Q6w7
"Feeling any better?"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAXhntoWTn1V
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAyvKytmRXdq
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAVtwz9stc63
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlNHrZMy53M
He came back.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaAeME8bhv9
"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."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAFPImY24HCj
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAXHsgwhWxVf
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA1c9JyFu70W
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvoGTedKMXw
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAPoupWZBZyo
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
716Please respect copyright.PENANA8HRQh7FTXp
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAG7l2hEBI84
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQenlPKBaC2
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAe9F3RB3qjZ
Tap.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA8PZ4HkALbA
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
716Please respect copyright.PENANASDYhao6B07
"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."
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7t1iPY8R8a
Huh?
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZhYZrGM9Ab
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAMtvtGOnBMq
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAmqF3SZ0eyQ
"No, the other one."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAJAktZh609v
"There is no other."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuH342hZkxi
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
716Please respect copyright.PENANASOreoBgKc2
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
716Please respect copyright.PENANA88czSmZDPk
"Stop!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAjrqV0fd5V3
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfUMYW6n9Ex
Not tubes again.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAoOFLpuGyoD
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
716Please respect copyright.PENANABrZRFSt22I
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAIzIuxeWAXL
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAUKX1qKXSLS
"Stop!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANABNPU4fuWD9
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
716Please respect copyright.PENANARzdqqidfTr
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA0oaAyyXsWE
The priest pushed her back down.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAUkKZuktxOs
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANA8vyI1WCs2I
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAsLCm7zB7Ol
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAVJtvMC9Yru
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAWYYs4OJeEf
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAw6c8KbQKwE
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlglKCupK8O
"You'll apologize later."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAphNhbIkSx2
Crack. Pop.
716Please respect copyright.PENANArTvkpemumd
"What in the world was that?" he said.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtetFZrLLH2
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANA74IL9LWlLl
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
716Please respect copyright.PENANA3gn78uLe9z
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA7vhADSexfN
"Humm ..."
716Please respect copyright.PENANA42f9eRACqg
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?
716Please respect copyright.PENANA36iff1zP9c
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA2xWIT2QFmj
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAY7IN0aSY5g
"Take the tubing out first."
716Please respect copyright.PENANApHYC9dAo8L
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAMKANHK6fRm
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGNfuLDGKqB
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlANR3pm83E
"I need my tools."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAYPZF8hgiSd
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAKXe9Ssp44k
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA23ISe9gAvo
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAIKz2et8dBT
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANALGWj1Zpdb3
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAFXnYtAcDzF
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
716Please respect copyright.PENANAFLjZNh6C0n
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAu82SRZZ9Fs
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAqZhfFmEsYP
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA48cVnxdqjq
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAWBoeMhaAzF
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAJN5PEqaa9C
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAlfq2nPz3kS
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAutkzfkYv2c
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAvESdKdnRTi
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
716Please respect copyright.PENANARdGiSWkPUY
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAYNo97YBWlK
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANABhzjEw76ay
A figure waved though the smoke.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA76rOPAQT0t
"Merry! Over here!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAOghT1ob9hZ
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ2h1Xbxkq
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAhdupkPOFHa
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAgAY0MiUmKC
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4bjMSHF1S
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAjWOBZXwMFx
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAVybC315bmB
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAw5M8wuCxOX
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkXmHRBnqNW
The idiot priest bent over her.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAiU4WkAf4i8
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
716Please respect copyright.PENANArxtXYcVYnw
She ground her teeth.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwUWogcNtWy
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAfWJiABpodW
"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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA2DCyHRAqc3
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxE2PFRCMi9
Fists pounded on the door.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkCftWBpzsI
"Merryn!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ8y0dSD5B
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaYCYqeEOXZ
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?
716Please respect copyright.PENANAaE9eVmHT8O
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
716Please respect copyright.PENANABV3dHrqObQ
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkq8dc3zmlf
She bit on the edge of his hand.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAGRoTBYrQKH
"Ouch!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANA9TSPqE1aFt
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAK9YOl0Y4gY
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAtCRL3JCpV4
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAghYOENDrEp
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAyWbMzoapIB
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA4va3MIgJp9
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcKMrX4kPcC
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANADERnGTMF2I
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAxow3R3qpPM
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
716Please respect copyright.PENANARdOyReqdOJ
Skittt. Thump.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAXd7fM8JruJ
A sword burst through the door.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA1M3GmCuoIE
"Merryn!"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkgfgy7vyo2
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAcUy93tQafw
She cracked her knuckles.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAdHeefiHWIi
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
716Please respect copyright.PENANArtahrfaAH0
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAph8IIVz4q5
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA9VJBsN1t16
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZWBM5Dbby9
He backed away. Grinning.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6gYNvyXG0x
She paused.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5AZ6gG0wo
"Good." he said.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAuVL1NQ1S0j
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAjbn6NQ0Ui3
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAnxkRoN3h9F
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAqvR2Z9OJ2M
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAkVHhvpp5AJ
"Jason."
716Please respect copyright.PENANANjfYxlWznv
"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."
716Please respect copyright.PENANA6fiuII9Ugm
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAmWUqGKua7g
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAikDmWgGDYD
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA06vPfLLukm
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAs8pwfpXVsz
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAPJvpdFrWVl
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAivvrOkbM5G
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
716Please respect copyright.PENANADj2e2pxmSu
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAz1BfcHTPC8
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAIoxI0h5vUP
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
716Please respect copyright.PENANARDugA5iVh1
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.
716Please respect copyright.PENANA29daSEE9K4
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAY7rf2BbBT3
Should kill him.
716Please respect copyright.PENANACDNDruzG2e
Next time. I need rest.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwKegoUDxMT
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
716Please respect copyright.PENANADrrnQFVi9a
Parcival picked her up.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAPQKjhxaOPs
"Thank you."
716Please respect copyright.PENANAwgzapys5My
"We're friends, right?"
716Please respect copyright.PENANAAxT9iQeyQp
She smiled.
716Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9LvpJwuuq
