"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA6mBHXyjKzc
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAPhMQiZCnH4
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAnrbe5jbq3Z
He paused.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAee2IATCXzk
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
695Please respect copyright.PENANABWnqh3oNqX
He scooted closer.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAYoBTv24tlX
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAnEqZFuuxuC
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAUHCXs8GmYo
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
695Please respect copyright.PENANASsVIPqAwxn
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
695Please respect copyright.PENANASjLe6IsIEU
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAVbhQXSEIBP
He ignored her twitching.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAH2TbGIxXnJ
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA3p9C19Mtqe
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAxh465w4V1e
She swallowed.
695Please respect copyright.PENANArrsPq9rCzb
"Can you guess what it is?"
695Please respect copyright.PENANA6O0uYRrZTu
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
695Please respect copyright.PENANA56omAWvc4N
"A strange knife?"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAH9J1EHqKMZ
He shook his head.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAItdiVhHrUo
"Wrong!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANA13tQTaURrb
A knock on the door.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAYOzKyvUd5m
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAqoI0OukRAP
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAIOQORcArhM
"Feeling any better?"
695Please respect copyright.PENANASey4NSqB0V
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAXDeGfJ1uJd
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAI8zChxlmme
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA8fqCvtIoaP
He came back.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xy14lfJhD
"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."
695Please respect copyright.PENANACWLdwABNkd
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
695Please respect copyright.PENANASGamm4ET20
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAFyN4Fzpfm3
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAH4PrRV8UJC
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
695Please respect copyright.PENANATBV400bJof
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAIlS5StGLE4
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAhTKeAEGBBN
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAoOHFrHWxTk
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
695Please respect copyright.PENANALEKRUmtFFC
Tap.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAziCZh21zQM
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAssrkq1R37i
"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."
695Please respect copyright.PENANA15pNW22EiU
Huh?
695Please respect copyright.PENANAYiEpiLKg04
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA32eOEsAhsk
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAwa6ibPBX84
"No, the other one."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAO2Iw5sDoTu
"There is no other."
695Please respect copyright.PENANACzPBf45lTG
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAx2LyxF2A1V
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAQwYgDNxHoC
"Stop!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANA1GoreyQAhI
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ018GaKA5
Not tubes again.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAiJhDnWfxdk
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAWy0FOjtHGr
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAASYISSFzYk
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAwE7sRavRup
"Stop!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAnkxWVplpAM
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAKNYali4ce7
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAhrwFqaBSOY
The priest pushed her back down.
695Please respect copyright.PENANARBxKmwwd4i
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAo985MjBpUs
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA3c5TGBoqzU
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAG9iejCJdwx
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAbWYvLIS2Dr
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAoTsEwfzzal
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAenIN3fp5NN
"You'll apologize later."
695Please respect copyright.PENANA669nraBVxx
Crack. Pop.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAVm4E6q7ei6
"What in the world was that?" he said.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAVJRLcCrbwh
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAy94E7RqT9F
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAyconm0ut3h
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA6izHKsXD8I
"Humm ..."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAejZkZDP2X1
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?
695Please respect copyright.PENANANnUunzS6kE
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAkWphQwzBnD
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA6llISAtvtr
"Take the tubing out first."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAV18DxhToPe
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAJjVnP7kwAv
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAH9POpUl6MH
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA3x03ebwDSe
"I need my tools."
695Please respect copyright.PENANApvuubdgK4e
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAOdEV31HYV3
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAbLRjksn32Z
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAu8ZwoJMA8j
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAc9Qd9Q9Uq3
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA2lUF0ouLFS
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
695Please respect copyright.PENANAVKsXVWtjgJ
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAm0OtOplN4e
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAuWpKYVIKbl
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAy8uj3Lu48e
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAEjIyOspc3M
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAVsuTBBUh45
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAPyOGfvCqSM
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANApup22AUSTO
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2tUcjNdKU
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
695Please respect copyright.PENANANwXnAZPLac
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAhLoPbC8fmh
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAMxfS7EWNPc
A figure waved though the smoke.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAWEVKMSf87R
"Merry! Over here!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAXwT0ahSxsD
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAuIb789SJfV
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ1ef64b15
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
695Please respect copyright.PENANACn1pkZALVA
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
695Please respect copyright.PENANA6f7Yiql82C
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
695Please respect copyright.PENANA4jYvk2tM1e
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA4C4WSOGjPy
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAHdKmiRVeot
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA2t4MZjSDOi
The idiot priest bent over her.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAcBL1dDaPaF
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA0qWyVPWVx9
She ground her teeth.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAeaC8fbobXJ
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAmPYe5jVRqx
"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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAFqTOjh6VtD
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
695Please respect copyright.PENANANq4dUPQsQE
Fists pounded on the door.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAXoY7GKNK59
"Merryn!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANADWr2IR2n66
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA5yIG3ikYB4
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?
695Please respect copyright.PENANAhyci7MjKq8
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAGx5l4BGo9y
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
695Please respect copyright.PENANACwtzAUbN4q
She bit on the edge of his hand.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAEVeYgSihvT
"Ouch!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANAIvM6yDmtp2
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
695Please respect copyright.PENANANGBmEsgJRA
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAvrNs6F7UtM
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAhE4HGXDxro
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAUMVj9oOJFu
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAiekv4wR7D7
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
695Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z3U0cOxMi
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pz7C8NFRJ
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAYnOCkGHefR
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAB2T1pCS6TV
Skittt. Thump.
695Please respect copyright.PENANADNwJPuoxsA
A sword burst through the door.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAuHLOq0ylPb
"Merryn!"
695Please respect copyright.PENANANFUot7KjpC
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAp1R2BOqSvV
She cracked her knuckles.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA5ymYMd6t3a
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAt95T2pCzm7
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAFZvFIOvQIk
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
695Please respect copyright.PENANARUaeyw1Pd2
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
695Please respect copyright.PENANApE49ouL8vy
He backed away. Grinning.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAGcp1MlXuU0
She paused.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAP5kyqsHnns
"Good." he said.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAQqNaIwCzC5
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA2NdAlUAb5m
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
695Please respect copyright.PENANACvR6sG5Ogl
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAUeMKbipXlY
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAMzq7l4uR2M
"Jason."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAZfFMY4QCQD
"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."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAmEm3IWS8AY
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAGMm2eq5Zt4
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANA45TjnN2G5d
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAlkLAFW9aj2
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAQqcddYhmTg
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAWMfTSseCmI
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
695Please respect copyright.PENANANeuusM3f2K
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAtJXQveOE2y
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAXsGIqlVQDh
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
695Please respect copyright.PENANALiOgApkjbe
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAN82n280cwQ
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.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAJQPAQfKA1k
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAqbLWH0NU8H
Should kill him.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAFP1DAu42WL
Next time. I need rest.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAjFT9TNphVe
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAm601W2G2Dh
Parcival picked her up.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAwNQKNC53Kr
"Thank you."
695Please respect copyright.PENANAq8F2DIVDhy
"We're friends, right?"
695Please respect copyright.PENANApgyp4vARWG
She smiled.
695Please respect copyright.PENANAviXrBOt76G
