She pushed on his chest while turning him about. Then did the same to Han. "Go!"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAc46NNOWNO4
"I resent being-"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAdhUYXk6Lmd
She growled at him. The Ancient side threatened to rip through her layers of self-control.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyd7jV21mF8
She grabbed their arms, flipping them over twenty feet away, onto the soft grasses.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAv8MO7Zuy1W
The spider-nab dropped out of the tree. She growled at it, unable to speak. Her body dripped with sweat. Daggers in hand.
733Please respect copyright.PENANASEmMl84CfT
I like this side of you. It's amusing to me, Unnamed said.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAHxJioOumSA
Just shut up.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0TgOme9bSw
It lunged at her aiming for her head.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA6xnx7o677P
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?
733Please respect copyright.PENANA84GGxHWUNk
Parcival and Han ran over.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyH1aKrsOoz
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAir50pqRjdE
It hissed low raising on its back legs, she rolled to the side, but not before its fangs sank into her arm.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAKVU2JyaihJ
She screamed.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAD0L7vdpBnu
The poison already was paralyzing her arm, it burned. She went down to her knees, hands propped on the soil. The blood lust vanished.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA2x3pNAnaVo
"Merryn!"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAtYq6VlYBYq
Han bounded over. Could only see his furry feet. He set his hands on her shoulders, a warming sensation spread down her back.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZeDyNnj9E
She coughed.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUHxq0KXogB
The spider-nab let out an airy squeal.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAQYlABkA7Yp
"Die already!" Parcival poked its abdomen with his saber.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA3ESFSU5SXq
The Adapts are wrong. Humans aren't week. She smiled a tiny bit.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAMeRrf43PMJ
The warmth receded, as a burning starting at the base of her spine pushing it away.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAPQb2Zh6OO1
"It's not working! Parcival quit playing with it and kill it already."
733Please respect copyright.PENANA5dANckV49y
She sank down on her stomach. So tired now.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAnzBpZh9xQI
Her heartbeat in forefront, slowed.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAnwUg1nWoiL
Thud-thump.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkVXJxwz2Jt
The spider-nab fell down into its own body fluids, as its appendages were chopped off. Good.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA23XovA2f8F
Idiot, should have taken the mountain route. Gods hex it all! If it ... get's free they'll die too.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAmNDqzFnVLS
Thud-thump.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7Gqt4LK6m
One of them snorted. "You call that playing?"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAFULFg1zQT1
"Can you fix this?"
733Please respect copyright.PENANANh6CspcSd8
"No, it's too hard. She needs a higher tier priest. I'm more of a scribe then a healer."
733Please respect copyright.PENANAg2zeIKsKvX
"Leave me."
733Please respect copyright.PENANAa7HoT2etjT
"Did you say something?" One of them said, as to who, well, they both sounded metallic.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAIZnabTkFpG
"She's becoming cold. Hurry up!"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAVH3wLp6JOu
The burning poison spread into her torso, then to her toes.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAe2zmpiawhb
Thud-thump.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA48FoMymRSG
"Need to hurry, her aura is fading."
733Please respect copyright.PENANAfzhZkjjIoh
"She's delirious."
733Please respect copyright.PENANAGk4j7bkI1u
One picked her up. She shuttered as the touch sent a shock into the biten sholder.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAHAk2Av4qcU
"Sorry."
733Please respect copyright.PENANACWkBvKUGNB
Some use I am, falling to poison of all things.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAxEvDgNVtvf
Curses and angry words filled her ears.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkbT52jVOn8
Thoughts became heavy after this and her eyesight cloudy. She closed them.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAk42OQeoMDn
You dare to die on me vessel? I'm not done! Answer me now!
733Please respect copyright.PENANAc0w1zbg31I
"Merryn! Don't give way to sleep!"733Please respect copyright.PENANAxtTw7qnfi0
733Please respect copyright.PENANAlx1IPEnk3D
Shaking.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAghTUL8xs8x
Thud.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAteZkjYN1RJ
The darkness gathered from all sides, each sense faded in turn until just the darkness remained.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAAeUuC9zu9l
Silence.
733Please respect copyright.PENANArbPtGAezoD
####
733Please respect copyright.PENANArZm2eGY97W
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAYf9ScZRMH6
Where am I?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAivliQJVrl6
All looked different, had a gray tint to it like when at night. She stood behind Parcival.
733Please respect copyright.PENANALxKL69IEal
He shook ... my body?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAv6E6MPm7id
Then shouted while he carried her as he ran towards a dirt road off to the east.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsfcsGoCiWC
She was pulled out along with them, so stopped trying to walk.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAv5VL5pDANR
I hope they figure out my body needs to be sealed or Unnamed will come out. Probably kill them. Why?!
733Please respect copyright.PENANAWDEWvof973
There were threads of energy connected to the body. They were so transparent that they were easy to miss.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA20NtqZrFu7
My fingers. She formed a fist and thrust her right spirit arm to the side.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0vO2LnSGrB
Nothing.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAPozhilvH10
Now what?
733Please respect copyright.PENANACudTAbX1UD
Energy. What was it mom said about this again?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAPF9SNlKCc8
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAAdpabCdXPS
Energy. Our souls are energy, with bodies of flesh to ... to what?
733Please respect copyright.PENANA5E2RhoHCRK
Memories were as slippery now as an interrupted dream.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9f6b5BWpJS
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAFlj9zzvUai
Hum. Some used treestone but it wasn't the same it didn't collect the light spirts energy as well.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAbopwyFoEAI
What was I doing?
733Please respect copyright.PENANA5Nbnb0xGF3
Part of her wanted to wander inside.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9gUBxX5WEi
The priest looked straight at her.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAAIUgWsYCTj
Can he see me?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAMu444EcZtq
He visibly paled. Then began talking rapidly to tall armored man and the puffy cathet man.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAHGf3682VO0
They all went inside, pulling her with.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAYAAZccl4Pz
Ick. Her body was swollen and seeped blood from her mouth and nose. Yuck.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAYnK8W4MhWv
She backed away as far as the thread would allow.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAvQXzOWejQ4
Her body twitched and jerked.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkRvXTXYSdN
Oh. Right. That's what I've been doing.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ev03uosDU
She jumped and flung both arms up.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAi6hzayb3Ak
Nothing. Again?
733Please respect copyright.PENANA4XOXwJ99Gi
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyNVWfVCgoN
All three yelled and backed off from the body.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAjCDcWaBy2O
Oops.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAWomTl4HepD
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAGzEp7EDykI
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0ILmR45h7N
He pointed to the armored man, who nodded and placed her body there on her back.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAEFeeFSG9Kx
The priest talked some more, and they all sat down. The priest at the North end of the rune, Parcival west and Han East.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA4tDy3saLCx
It was difficult to watch, she squeezed her eyes shut.
733Please respect copyright.PENANATQDqeYGC5y
When she opened them her body's eyes opened as well.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkodnO7rfdB
All three sat around her cross-legged, they startled when the body's eyes opened.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAztRNIZjmPQ
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAItjMeWHbUI
I'll just sit here, trying to move just upsets them.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA3my7J2iPNA
She sat beside the armored man. He shivered.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA85Zxn6ZHXZ
A bright beam extended out of the priests palms seconds later the same from the others.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAynPf8Odp6S
The beams intersected together over her torso.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pjopipium
Her body writhed.
733Please respect copyright.PENANADdn31SkkBL
Vines sprouted from under the body and whipped out at the three, coiling around them.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAS3gDU9Mt1d
That can't be good. That's right, for good or ill, I'm that things vessel, must be looking for energy.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAOW1s4eSzH7
But ... why care? A new pulling sensation different from the darker ancient one tugged.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAseTmSahSip
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAvu6oeC6lhI
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:
733Please respect copyright.PENANADuwLkE79pn
"Come."
733Please respect copyright.PENANArlRbECrV1L
She held back just shy of taking his hand. Tears wet her cheeks. Grandfather. She shook her head slowly.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkbV2ho0gwe
He nodded and turned back into the tree. It dipped back down, vanishing.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAG8rwW7SEwb
Twisting around, the men struggled under the vines. She frowned. Why are they so important?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAeHnOiCxZga
Yes. The god. The weakened god. Was it trying to take their energy?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAx0LhmiyvkC
She pushed it aside and went over to her body. She gathered the threads in both hands and yanked on them. Come on!
733Please respect copyright.PENANAVnpFsRRKj7
The body twitched.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAIYyBYnM8B8
Vines erupted out from her mouth, they wrapped her body covering it. While the other ones tightened. The vines glowed and Han slumped over.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAeGoKOUOng5
Must do something! But what?
733Please respect copyright.PENANA56yCkUGNcA
The priest jumped up, tensing up his arms.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAo2d6kw9O7F
That is it!
733Please respect copyright.PENANAl1fQ8K3bkL
Sweat ran down his face as he tensed against the bonds.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAzorZbnmNQa
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA7041yItLxC
Turning back, the priest was glowing. The vines split, showing a glowing white hand.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA5c1KUQCPbG
I see, he used a light spell to cut it. Clever. Light has heat as well.
733Please respect copyright.PENANABNQmqCAyXo
He freed the others, than walked over in front of her then pointed at the body.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAiKZWZSClJj
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA63pWhzgZcY
I'm not going back in that!
733Please respect copyright.PENANAessVj7c9Je
He looked at her and pointed to it.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAiZcE4IGEOK
What? What do you want? I can't go back in. Right?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAt3WzRXwA2X
She shuttered.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUR46Mf74hS
The man in armor came and gingerly picked up the body, placing it again on the rune.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0FmraFR1Tb
She moved forward following it some.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAIbTrMuocwm
They talked again and started up the bright beam again. This time finishing and covering the body.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0xp4vMdjW0
The thread shortened dragging her toward it.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAXIN0khpogZ
No! I changed my mind! She clawed at the smooth marble unable to grip it.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA6wf248yojd
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.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZWmFjp5Lj
A final tug pulled her back in.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA9mQVFyP8nM
The world flooded back, lights, sounds, color.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA4E4SN8TpSp
Pain.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkf2coAqq3t
Everything is pain.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAkBfx2XBCB9
Her body twitched.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAWWpa8pGd7u
Han had his hands on her chest, they glowed green.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ0uu8Gav1
No, let me die!
733Please respect copyright.PENANAlUlBN1Tuk9
A touch.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAcWLMLZnGF3
The man ... Parcival. He held her.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAxzDwWoDfce
"Stop scaring me like that," he said.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAZKV9yCgF5g
A croaking sound came from her was she tried to speak. She coughed and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyvqfVHHkpt
He stiffened. "Get over here and heal her all ready!"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAh9476MxCG9
"Of course," a gravely voice said. She turned her head a little. Ah, the priest.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAfGVRZmH8rK
Her body strained to bend during a spasm, her back cracked.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAMYXvWeGHvg
"Yaaaa!"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAaO5NopNbS5
The wall. My back hit the wall.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAuCGTY83Zyi
Tears squeezed out, as all of the pain scorched through her. She clenched her jaw.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAuYcFEbh3HO
"Don't let her move, she's still close to death. Keep her sill."
733Please respect copyright.PENANA7YlqyVOOw3
Parcival's huge hand hovered over her face, then rested on the crown of her head the other pushed down on her stomach.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAyVNRrtYRSN
"Stop moving," the priest said.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAsQJua2GTE6
"Shhhh."
733Please respect copyright.PENANA4UpOJdUWdb
She huffed. It did hurt less being still. Or was that the healing spell?
733Please respect copyright.PENANAaeNapJJM4H
Regardless a not so bad numbness seeped in. Her face relaxed, she unclenched her jaw.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAGxMV4JeYIU
Hans face hovered over. "How do you feel now?"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAWObNzyUrKG
"Numb."
733Please respect copyright.PENANAgrNL0WwUh2
He managed to pale under the fur. He looked at the priest who shook his head.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAx2w9WAHeur
"Go grab the long flat board in the other room."
733Please respect copyright.PENANA0CtmWDcX6m
Han came back a while later, holding it. They held her neck and back with their hands, then slid her on it.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAobSShNxlN4
It pinched. But do-able.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAy8IuLGrZBA
They took her to a room with a small bed and lifted her on it.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA82F3gxfTJX
"Go now, I'll tend to her. Get some rest," the priest said.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAoz39jdKyhs
Later they left, he closed the door, then came back.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAZeO3N5ESXF
"What to do with you?" He brought a thin object from under the left side if his robe.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAuqSGBVGgMB
Its handle that showed shone in the candle light.
733Please respect copyright.PENANA98URcmQBnB
She flinched and was rewarded with a bolt of pain that sucked away her breath.
733Please respect copyright.PENANAUUBuosCSAl
"If I heal you that thing lives. If I let you die it will be free. Correct?"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAJOJ3cOuDod
He stuck his face up into hers. "Why do you host an evil spirit? I can see it, it disgusts me!"
733Please respect copyright.PENANAQD07sWYl3s
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!
733Please respect copyright.PENANAIy0pjLSJSk
