"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAaiuriCVedz
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA8QwIr2Qzhs
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
710Please respect copyright.PENANARGNUIc5Mhj
He paused.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAc0QxwsDQPO
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAUIn2VaNJeu
He scooted closer.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAJnHfjRswWB
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAvICBoMhYYJ
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAvzkHMxY4fS
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA8orS6LJbnd
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAJYPESnfWAI
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA2WPfwnCj9o
He ignored her twitching.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA1kdTqr7DpC
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA0TcB4bXlf3
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAtljgCvQrzm
She swallowed.
710Please respect copyright.PENANANVaIMDM4Vn
"Can you guess what it is?"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAlv0obuUoko
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
710Please respect copyright.PENANA6wWUTR5SnG
"A strange knife?"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAXQoAbaH4JT
He shook his head.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAUklq3jbLab
"Wrong!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANA8TrZAebebd
A knock on the door.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAMxlyiS2uun
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAFLr9cZsK8V
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
710Please respect copyright.PENANANgCmY6LtOg
"Feeling any better?"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAcJeqB0gsX3
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAsJM9ViywyM
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAqOX47gbpZx
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAv77pn1nqZd
He came back.
710Please respect copyright.PENANATDGiqyY7C2
"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."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAQWpwKyruEh
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAqPkC6nxciO
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAidvNUAYTBz
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAPuGRsmJyrN
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAHnJYfSX1Xr
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAMjWZLjX4NW
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA1KqiOvB97B
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAMIkbBvQmgi
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA5w6OtFNBwy
Tap.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAbOfbyTVxa1
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAoez1JIZb0s
"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."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAntrNfbIbyA
Huh?
710Please respect copyright.PENANAX1m38vnXEB
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAKdXV9BBZyr
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAJsPAcK8S6l
"No, the other one."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAMxuKYHMfPb
"There is no other."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAgNJJt06hne
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAw9qlSwGL9B
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAtboQRyP7QP
"Stop!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAD8QgkZHArJ
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA9XITxxPGyE
Not tubes again.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAqHgVaYuUvP
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAxj2rCoccqe
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAprHXSJdR7Z
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAL6NVQtgZmy
"Stop!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAKO95WCw9OJ
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1S9rF5gKV
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAHcLlxedDph
The priest pushed her back down.
710Please respect copyright.PENANArZTLaUvtTQ
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANA5GNM0Ywus5
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAjdFkgRS2Wy
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAuZjCm6dUzM
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
710Please respect copyright.PENANASbORUKghlU
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAPlqwwe3WoR
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAObObR2huDz
"You'll apologize later."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAHQcb30l1ym
Crack. Pop.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAONEdZqxEY9
"What in the world was that?" he said.
710Please respect copyright.PENANANZ04squmVq
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAuNYjKz2q3s
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAwNcbujhX3k
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAUmZiZlMaX8
"Humm ..."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAf0ywmeOzsK
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?
710Please respect copyright.PENANAGzVl1I80VY
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAeEwiZjlQCy
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAs7z9F4QMYi
"Take the tubing out first."
710Please respect copyright.PENANA9CUCFKigoC
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
710Please respect copyright.PENANALzfiSg7wIt
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA6TzYi36122
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAy4tCQK4HTf
"I need my tools."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAVggXBc4Tk3
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
710Please respect copyright.PENANALg5JK1zFDH
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAWNWCjCspuI
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
710Please respect copyright.PENANADxR6pNCgEB
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAvhHHg4iIOQ
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAXFoaloPTJj
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
710Please respect copyright.PENANAkbhbEyJyv2
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAQIL2L10k8Z
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAytUj1Y9rFS
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA8bf9R9SwjL
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAblFPpuSOZ4
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAGMTuaZezhe
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAyfTRzoeBXq
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAlMWOeAzgm9
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAtIh46lYbY7
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAYD1XhrQeHS
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAuOMcxOJxEG
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAZpl6ztZDIK
A figure waved though the smoke.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA34IqrkahoF
"Merry! Over here!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAzf8ROB1VYg
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAfYCiKvhXvw
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAB8hvWDqOMe
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAh1vvR4AagJ
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
710Please respect copyright.PENANAsbYw7RDCeo
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAIH1uiJt09t
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
710Please respect copyright.PENANARaLXjYoowM
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAy04mjyl3hC
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
710Please respect copyright.PENANALbpqXYpruC
The idiot priest bent over her.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAnhK4YYWOBC
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAXPNPOA0i5h
She ground her teeth.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA7A1ik1unmF
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAtACg9cWDSa
"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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA1KgDeYIQyl
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAZS70MT1a3b
Fists pounded on the door.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAB2xWWxXxkO
"Merryn!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAPxy65DBXkY
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAYBqMb3G6Os
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?
710Please respect copyright.PENANAszzs8XOjks
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAjvWYNgVkBU
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAhOATMwdF24
She bit on the edge of his hand.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAzG4XsTml77
"Ouch!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAoDkcml9bw1
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAVah9AsOuK6
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA2cM2jp1sYZ
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
710Please respect copyright.PENANABbcltP2gu6
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAcdI2NTpNZP
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAD3UiIZ6Fpz
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAy3udVHCbyp
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAJBupyeUXCe
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAHVXaBwWwE7
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAVoZCpqqWCI
Skittt. Thump.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAhGl24bAn2G
A sword burst through the door.
710Please respect copyright.PENANABpBNZQx8um
"Merryn!"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAidNUmapNze
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAe5lIppll7x
She cracked her knuckles.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA1RiaqSzsOG
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAc6qmmcIiVv
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAG57DuWkjNa
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
710Please respect copyright.PENANABcf3tSTA9k
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAaDqud4RmaY
He backed away. Grinning.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAbpSmNy07AU
She paused.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAtkQPNpNWOE
"Good." he said.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAfZFSL6vZGr
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA14EZUvmkwF
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAEU2sAzXW83
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANARqjmg0XyQn
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAEgS3vbxte8
"Jason."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAFltFOJJZGp
"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."
710Please respect copyright.PENANA7tMuXvhpVK
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAnhALvY0KrV
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAP7t1B7ihyR
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAcMIDqhe36s
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
710Please respect copyright.PENANATofcvYhr1b
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAAZsurHlcLb
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAOaOiKZW5tQ
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA9SRw6WjCwO
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAYR6y0gVyLh
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAxiUNqvm1Xu
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAqxEbn60OY4
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.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA4EzYUmlaad
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAxaL6OF2wnn
Should kill him.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAuziBHSlSYi
Next time. I need rest.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAAUI8ONljW7
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAD1A77jc3kD
Parcival picked her up.
710Please respect copyright.PENANAWY3cyqmUyR
"Thank you."
710Please respect copyright.PENANAMNkdagYdZi
"We're friends, right?"
710Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4HyoxeyQ9
She smiled.
710Please respect copyright.PENANA5KJeTDT8kL
