"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAKi3UYIpBUf
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAUDgaaVSGnW
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAXLcUwAPfVE
He paused.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAaB3g9n6HWU
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAt1LG3ijZTk
He scooted closer.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAvnZw47YFGo
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAsJurGPoYip
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAcN8cQsVaIs
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAgN4v9arWYP
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAUE9lUY0XsI
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAlkaRTAROLz
He ignored her twitching.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAZTA7rPHBW
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAbm3a2hFWNX
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAgaBjI6axe
She swallowed.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAA9vHsaER4V
"Can you guess what it is?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQqW1GDvddS
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
689Please respect copyright.PENANA77FYoAMtHc
"A strange knife?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANA2uuvaKT5Z2
He shook his head.
689Please respect copyright.PENANADzdEwfcAGP
"Wrong!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9MKzPzDNsR
A knock on the door.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA79CE6I7N30
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAobkckIK5PA
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAiNzeXsJrMq
"Feeling any better?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAeaGD7mUKPd
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAoKNxTG7vRs
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAC1VduEOIAO
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
689Please respect copyright.PENANALL1Dr8febg
He came back.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAKV7PbJlYBc
"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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANA8ELZHUsBOm
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAFCpUgMiIU7
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA5CNetNe5nx
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAjt781Akj53
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA4NGoBrNj8f
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAIK6blEP0bM
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAWFVvBEU9Rx
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAMw0ygn95hE
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
689Please respect copyright.PENANANTvONkI04D
Tap.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAjsrIHJri1y
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAWyvT5aWH3Y
"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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAYg6Vb5GLJT
Huh?
689Please respect copyright.PENANAgG2DUE5e39
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAFoc0Hrnw2R
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfzwvg3mCXH
"No, the other one."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAR50kMB7VAG
"There is no other."
689Please respect copyright.PENANADCspajI4tx
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA2fYPT0U5rt
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAWvIVBfJBk
"Stop!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAoBCL9M1GDt
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAym5NwMOSkz
Not tubes again.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAg88kv1JJ2c
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAqmL5II9Ocd
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAwxSchZ2cVI
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAfHBG1oGi3E
"Stop!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAouDzP408lT
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAUtCwn2e1N3
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA5TbOwBbHS1
The priest pushed her back down.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAhiqzx52BzI
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAFLHRI3jDmS
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA6giUBGzv8c
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAnmkv32NiSM
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAaJyuUhJDOx
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAwtk3m0BkA3
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA0Dph0490Fh
"You'll apologize later."
689Please respect copyright.PENANANo9mcJWwV6
Crack. Pop.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA6goMWx6FE8
"What in the world was that?" he said.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAYH0I255n2B
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANADBBsGEjl0h
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAjzrMyb1yxj
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
689Please respect copyright.PENANASMm80CBokI
"Humm ..."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAE4nNGnXuyC
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?
689Please respect copyright.PENANAd9P3fy5R03
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
689Please respect copyright.PENANACaSDdZ8qcg
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2RK9UZoCj
"Take the tubing out first."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAVK8icgcTau
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAIaV5LJO8JO
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA0vSkBrx9GA
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAks2V61hKco
"I need my tools."
689Please respect copyright.PENANArS2CWQDx5J
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAIEYhq73AV2
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAFNiK5qG8IM
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAJUap73s6Rp
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAx1xiItHqFe
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAiiXkwvs84q
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9rEc18wsQv
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9QchKbJ6x8
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAkgzN03oSkM
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA0U7EgJAKPX
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAFCjt8hr846
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAVql1VXApYj
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA7SL52ZrauS
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANASnN9Sefk53
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAsGVLApobrS
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAlqvlNIZO0e
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA7jml9ldFla
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANA2rfazyoQpy
A figure waved though the smoke.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAcZfcAoeXkJ
"Merry! Over here!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAwvRRnL0gSL
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAobEGS3eUMD
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9iMKNzGYot
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAr5YPGbQFUd
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
689Please respect copyright.PENANAylMITO62aH
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANADYG23FjBS7
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA8a5cTR0xHU
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANABBbiBfBgtl
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAn5LT5QC9Um
The idiot priest bent over her.
689Please respect copyright.PENANACqxgboGpjt
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAZSjVPv8ZiN
She ground her teeth.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA3lnAVxidG1
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAcT335yaUNO
"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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAo348BBFIng
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAjg43MUDbBm
Fists pounded on the door.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPUJtfArsgR
"Merryn!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAN3dDFZVoQO
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
689Please respect copyright.PENANANYLwUqN6OU
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?
689Please respect copyright.PENANAxrjP4ZRbYa
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAOVuTdyYDdL
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAHUMb91vP3Y
She bit on the edge of his hand.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAs2oTZccvbX
"Ouch!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAcLkqznYDRV
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA7D4pS5D0sJ
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAJrzlfowNjI
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAi3XIfYPOt1
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAcOSSNAGbWk
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAC6DhXA6aJT
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAhNLIb8Aasi
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA0KIvK3qvOv
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA92oXmn22wj
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAbV4P8XsGAR
Skittt. Thump.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAPUfLamngMe
A sword burst through the door.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAnepR8mtFds
"Merryn!"
689Please respect copyright.PENANA6eoyFWHKKp
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAEKxsv2WEDn
She cracked her knuckles.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAMEhJECxuQn
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAiwvBXoG0Np
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA8DDRlGySMo
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQmqmGGZjW2
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAiS9FQzI9YK
He backed away. Grinning.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAHyS5qlKs4H
She paused.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA9daE8By5pF
"Good." he said.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAmMrHOb12F5
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAAAseaEFXNV
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
689Please respect copyright.PENANADiV96B0nS0
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAZU2n4WYUAK
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANANhQdiAdaBC
"Jason."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAb5odDm8oCj
"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."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAITpsxRgCMi
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAeNJHKCsEtN
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA4HyY6PahMq
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAhVz0GgQryr
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
689Please respect copyright.PENANA4w971andPO
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAlaAr3dgO5R
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
689Please respect copyright.PENANArPb56yjvGY
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAHkyfXkdBZ5
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAh5wdkzNutc
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANAd0JdEy9bkl
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAdtpc2WSO32
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.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAwGBfIHTCHl
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAi7YpT7XdIc
Should kill him.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAVrZ4C1cNQf
Next time. I need rest.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAhd3BtLeCuR
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAHhMpcba96Y
Parcival picked her up.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAvUFPnTa7rK
"Thank you."
689Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4WZn5aIc5
"We're friends, right?"
689Please respect copyright.PENANA4JekWlbXqC
She smiled.
689Please respect copyright.PENANAMDByUSfbvQ
