Kar pushed harder on Parcival's throat. The threads came out faster as the staff flashed.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAEtJpPvDcol
"Don't bother me." He half-turned, opening his free fist in Han's face, a red intricate rune of light floated above his palm.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAnGNs3emwdY
"Back off."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFs2qx4ABuY
Han's eyes pinched tight and his mouth curled back bearing his little fangs, he hissed while stepping back. His spectacles slid down resting on his muzzle.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAalf8HOW9eI
Her mind was foggy. It was hard to focus. Everyone was doubled and blurry. She rubbed her eyes, it helped a little.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ1cuDD5S3
Han ran behind one of the larger containers hacking at a large cable that curved around alongside it. The thick pink liquid gushed out spilling onto the floor.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAqBVSHCftxa
"Stop doing that, you overgrown pin cushion!"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAtVEx7KgJQa
Kar twisted the base of his staff, it hummed drawing the threads out faster.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAmhvRVfd4Br
"Aetae, spirit of the wind I invoke of you grant your aid once more."
682Please respect copyright.PENANALwU7lVf2JW
Aetae was slow to come his shadowed form faded. What was wrong?
682Please respect copyright.PENANApChlTxJTkn
"The soul requiem of the land begins."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAP2WX9CnuYr
His voice as soft as an owl in flight, his shadowy eyes held a pain.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAUeWK57b5ce
"What is it?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAawfjUiABDR
He closed his eyes tight wrapping cold hands over hers.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA8pVVHy8AKn
"Trust no one."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAkrCZ90JNMc
He granted speed again, it was lighter then ever before it would wear off soon. Unnamed had said that before, had he corrupted Aetae?
682Please respect copyright.PENANAl3kWVdLKYP
Aetae spiraled through the floor as if pulled on. His soft cry echoed in her ears. Her heart ached. This was wrong, all wrong.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAw41Ta9WbDl
The moans from Parcival grabbed her attention.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzSvAE0o5cj
She streaked on the floor pulling with her hands yanking on Kars arm.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAYio9E9De1F
"Imprudent Elf, why won't you just give up?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAxXcIGiudWs
He lifted his arm up, and her with it.
682Please respect copyright.PENANALl4tyS9bxX
"Let them go." Come on, Han run.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAxFbKCHiKmq
Han was on the container across the room hacking away at it's cable.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA9zXonsSo8e
The speed spell faded and left. Don't wear off now, come back.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA42h9YUccaJ
Kar shook her off. He went over to a support beam and smashed her chest first into it. He repeated this until she slid off his arm and dropped to the floor. The pink glop pooled under her stomach.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAuo3Spc6DUo
He bent down and pulled her head up. "Tell them to leave, and make them not want to come back. Do this and they may go."
682Please respect copyright.PENANALa33v5PmHN
Han crept around the containers, backed away from both of them. His eyes were wide and his fur slick against his body, like a bear cub that was dunked in a river. He crept low, avoiding eye contact.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAcDlCE2AyEW
Parcival slid down the wall his skin gray as dusty steel. His eyes closed, and his breathing slowed. Shouldn't do it, but what choice is there? Can't let this human die. No, correction friend. Her throat tightened and became sore.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA2DVtYBXwaf
"Well?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANA8EqjbBoJvN
"Let me help him first."
682Please respect copyright.PENANA5a3SmMwFwA
"Do it quickly."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzRPsBpModh
Kar went over to Han who was wedged on the far side of a container. Kar swore at him every time he dodged away.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzvfOKzCYBn
"Get out!"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAQEZe58Diih
Everything below the hips was numb as she crawled over to Parcival.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAWjnrXo12SI
"Spirits take from mine and mend of his. I will pay the cost." It came out as a harsh croak.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAkTyyQ6sbvc
She placed her hands on his chest. Stay with me.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAeInDFGifSB
Spirits of darkness and light came through the floor. In most cases they refused to be together in one place, as each opposed the other. For this, they would. A taste of life was the only coin that mattered to them, considering how tired they looked they needed it. Aetae wasn't with them.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAd0EYWTcSwB
She pointed at Parcival. They swarmed over him joining hands while leaning over his mouth. They breathed out a wispy golden breath that twisted into a stream into his.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAaUKFx42Cgg
They came over to her, holding out her hand, they both touched it. The dark one's touch was like those hidden nightmares that slipped away on waking, ancient and chill. It wasn't evil, more sad then anything. It never really left; became a part of you.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA5L4JfdnBLo
A part of her left with, as did much of what was left of her energy. The light one came over and did the same. The payment while steep could be afforded. Two years for each spirit wasn't as bad as what some wanted. They flew through a wall and vanished.
682Please respect copyright.PENANATfMPQ4DJqU
His breathing was deepening and his skin returned to a healthy color. They were quick that couldn't have been more then a minute.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAC8Fg1k79uU
"There's a mirror, only you hold. While broken its mending. Friend." She whispered in his ear.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAEVw7Mzok8U
"Now, get up."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAT3xfPFJVDD
Parcival pushed upright and frowned. "What did you do?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANASN2qbmamnV
"Nothing for you to worry about." Kar was still busy with Han.
682Please respect copyright.PENANASCRNElZe81
"You have to get out of here. Go." Her arms wobbled, it was hard staying upright.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAPp2scHVSnC
A flurry of soft padding of feet from behind. Han came over, breathing hard. His eyes wide.
682Please respect copyright.PENANARQY9dIQSnb
"I have shown restraint, more then you deserve. She is where she needs to be. Leave."
682Please respect copyright.PENANALajMuhoqPW
She twisted around, Kar stood there.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAM0CHmv3X3t
Parcival shot up, lost his balance and crashed down. "I'm not much use right now."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAPli47XItc0
"Crawl out. I don't care how you go. Do it soon, before I decide to drain you both of your life force."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAXuK8mFLO8j
"Han, get out of here and take Parcival with you."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAN5khxCVjmC
"Are you insane? I can't morally leave you with him!" His tail twitched.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAawanCjXg57
He vanished and stood next to Parcival, his staff pointed at the doorway.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAeOHCPEBYBh
Han looked at her, his ears and whiskers drooped. "We'll get help."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAGkKwCoyUyl
"No, don't come back."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAsSmE9QbSxw
"You don't mean that." His eyes teared up.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAb1eDsxFHLT
"I do, I told that silly human to leave me alone. You too. Take him and get away from me. I can take care of myself."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAd2i329pFvN
The words hurt and it was hard to look at him.
682Please respect copyright.PENANArl5FXGLa7j
He scampered over to Parcival, held up his arm over his shoulder, and dragged him out the door.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAgHN2l3wnEs
Hope they make it out. Goodbye. Her eyes stung and watered she rubbed them. She sniffed and wiped her nose on a hand.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAilBeQbKv3G
Footsteps behind her, Kar came into view.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAbDnUSm2HaT
"I do regret doing this, but what you have in here ..."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAYCZSIR1viV
He tapped her head, a pulse spread from his finger tips through her head.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA6VQTZy1mqA
"Is needed. It won't be much longer now. I can't say if you'll survive."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAbNNmHjk72R
She didn't want to answer, but the fogginess increased. Her vision doubled again.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzwabwoyrPA
"What ... did ..." Her head slumped to the side.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA1HbKO6M7qa
He shifted and his forum wavered back to the youth.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAUqqXbEt62e
"Much better. If you behave and don't fight it you'll feel much better. Try relaxing."
682Please respect copyright.PENANALytwceJDbK
"I-don't understand."
682Please respect copyright.PENANANfrgXchoyo
"It's simple, I know you house the unnamed one. Only an adapt could survive its toxic spirit."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAfEXsWduXsS
I don't know what you're talking about, she almost said. But, as she thought it a sudden headache stabbed the side of her head.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAGEZcEZnMHS
"Gahhh." She ground her teeth and waited for it to pass.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAPi4wUM6Czi
"You'll find out soon enough just what that potion does, it's fully activated now."
682Please respect copyright.PENANA1puR1UnpHH
He smiled that hollow smile of his and tapped his own forehead.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA5hrRlFGpD2
"Its effects will be clear soon enough."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAUm6erhKVvY
"This is awful. You're awful." She swallowed a lump in her throat.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFtL3wNxpn1
"There see honesty. Good girl."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAlTfqq4426A
"Do not fight me, or in this case even think about it."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAMlexF5Fofb
"Undergods burn you!"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAWhBocLcyx0
"Such language." He did a series of complicated hand gestures.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAS3xb3UuK1m
"Faster."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAJDTI6oU7mP
What? She stood, the numbness left her legs.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFoPNXqdBvV
"I don't feel like carrying you. Follow."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzT3ukhq8bw
She rubbed her eyes. Don't get tired now.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAnwvpzQLZUg
"We are moving to the Great Hall. Night is coming and it's going to become quite cold."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAZb78UsMYEa
He walked out of the room, she was compelled to follow behind, fighting it just shot pain up and down her spine.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAlJvamAZoyY
She sucked in air through her teeth the fogginess increased it took over, she walked quickly catching up.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAbyPaeAlVDK
Asleep or awake? She clamped her hands together. Awake, definitely awake.
682Please respect copyright.PENANARoNndr7pEM
"Tell me, did they cast any protection spell on you?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANApBPgJB3fe7
He walked faster down the hallway.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA4VR0PRJnBj
She tried to resist. This earned her another head pain.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAz1njfRdcLS
"Y--e-s."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAOFUqPOMJrL
"The containers, the liquid was meant to pull Unnamed out by converting him to algae. It don't work as expected. The rest is far too technical to bother to explain it to you."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAAidFKK6St2
He turned a corner down into a dark candle lit narrow hallway. The lights flickered and cast shadows that moved about as if they were alive.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAL39jPTEBnE
The walls were decorated with elaborate paintings. A huge one that spanned from the ceiling to the floor was a woman. She had long blond hair that went down the length of her back. The detail was amazing, as if you reached out to touch it, then it would be as soft as it looked. Her eyes were a bright amber like wolfs eyes, and her lashes thick and long. The rest if her features were of equal beauty.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA2C7lDY0qAE
Kar stopped silent and watched her. She looked at him.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA0UZDATMokN
"That was my wife of a distant past. You remind me of her. Both of you were obstinate and strong willed." His face hardened and what little softness was in his eyes vanished.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA37rUrH63fi
"You will have but no choice to listen."
682Please respect copyright.PENANABU0sTltr3g
He stormed over to her.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAWZTg30jtNp
"You and your people will end this world. Do you have any clue, that what you carry within?" He shook his head.
682Please respect copyright.PENANASU44KdP6WS
She leaned back as much as possible. Acid rose in her throat burning.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Ppus6AL0
He passed under a large archway. Straight ahead was a large fireplace, tall enough a person could stand in it. The wooden Overmantle had carvings of knights with swords and spears drawn. On both ends of the mantle was a large winged griffin. Their wings were held up and curved upward.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAfAugUuiIRf
He moved her over to a wooden high backed chair, this was a few feet from the fireplace. A small table on the left side, with another chair at the end.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAD0wKufRPHs
He sat her down on the one on the right. He was in front of her, his breath smelled of something sweet.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAGeCashp5OH
"Vow to do as I say and not to escape, I tire of chasing after you, like a misbehaving pup."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAbN37ogCudF
She glared at him, and wished he would fall down below in flames to greet the dark gods. To be bound to him by a vow, no, no. Her mind went blank.
682Please respect copyright.PENANA5PqMItCJzM
"Say it."
682Please respect copyright.PENANANpAf8o3hNA
He put a hand on her right shoulder squeezing it, the pain was intense and seared the skin, wisps of smoke wafted through his fingers right on the still healing scratch.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAxkjcZDow0w
"I refuse."
682Please respect copyright.PENANA6UEAsUSQ1m
A vow can never be broken, doing so always incurred Olenus wrath. Have to fight this. She sat up straight and looked though him, not at him. Another jolt of pain singed through her again she ground her teeth. Every hair on her arms stood up. His nails grew longer and he dug them into the scratch widening it.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFGmCI7ogBp
She orbited her shoulder and leaned back, pushing on his chest with a hand.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAzgOUnadZqb
"Get off!"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAhbpluo4g6N
A Dusk rat came over to Kar.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAqpbM4Vt2XK
"Master the man things are still down stairs."
682Please respect copyright.PENANA7VFH2ZJf6m
"I don't have much to say, but that what I say you should weigh carefully. What do you think will happen if you continue to refuse?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAFja0vOqweY
The fireplace caught her attention and she stared at it.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAr23c25JD8W
He moved close to her face next to an ear.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAwIeYpJRNRT
"Do it, or I'll bring your friends back and have them take the potion. What I will make them vow would be of a far-less pleasant nature. The human how long do you think he'll be able to hold out?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANAnXBMRimhHb
He held up a finger.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAxHOlkCfeDh
"I say a minute or less, he's so young ..."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAojGWmtyAWI
She hung her head, her eyebrows twitched as she fought back a snarl that pulled on her lips and face. It was true. Parcival was at least thirty years younger ...
682Please respect copyright.PENANAtdYuk1fCSE
"I vow ... to do as you say, and not to escape."
682Please respect copyright.PENANASaIcJQO0JY
The clamp of the vow became physical, a small feather etched on the top of her hand, like a light scar long healed. A reminder from Olenus.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAQFsrE4fteo
Her eyes burned they stung as she fought back the tears.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAU5CSr2FvJZ
"One more thing. If the others return you will protect me at all costs or that what you drank will instantly kill you."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAJcjuvuYBuY
He placed his other hand under her chin and squeezed it.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAxfnorHXRzU
"I'm being kinder than you know. The others how much do you trust them?"
682Please respect copyright.PENANATAbcOk3ydg
"Far more than you."
682Please respect copyright.PENANAntU7e9fd72
She blinked rapidly and breathed in a few breaths. He didn't say I had to give direct answers.
682Please respect copyright.PENANAM0FUWU8vQp
His eyebrow twitched. He squeezed again and pulled his hand away roughly. Kar went over to the fireplace and flicked his fingers. The logs in it sparked and soon a fire started.
