Kar pushed harder on Parcival's throat. The threads came out faster as the staff flashed.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAcnfgbIYC3T
"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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAtNTbjfrh3K
"Back off."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAQoYbbKItDA
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbhB9KEZPLL
Her mind was foggy. It was hard to focus. Everyone was doubled and blurry. She rubbed her eyes, it helped a little.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA6aGfx2b6ua
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAtlddwb63OK
"Stop doing that, you overgrown pin cushion!"
805Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fsstcqd4Z
Kar twisted the base of his staff, it hummed drawing the threads out faster.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAPOXQGI7KO2
"Aetae, spirit of the wind I invoke of you grant your aid once more."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAPprfuSFoIN
Aetae was slow to come his shadowed form faded. What was wrong?
805Please respect copyright.PENANATmokfhkIfP
"The soul requiem of the land begins."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAeAj6uxJcLI
His voice as soft as an owl in flight, his shadowy eyes held a pain.
805Please respect copyright.PENANANQbUgu99AC
"What is it?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANApr0rWcWkTx
He closed his eyes tight wrapping cold hands over hers.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAMNekoK7R87
"Trust no one."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGB7hypFmC6
He granted speed again, it was lighter then ever before it would wear off soon. Unnamed had said that before, had he corrupted Aetae?
805Please respect copyright.PENANAzWKtgsDm7r
Aetae spiraled through the floor as if pulled on. His soft cry echoed in her ears. Her heart ached. This was wrong, all wrong.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7Oz1PT8Ne7
The moans from Parcival grabbed her attention.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA1qA98VWGc2
She streaked on the floor pulling with her hands yanking on Kars arm.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA0vcK905NwL
"Imprudent Elf, why won't you just give up?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWbwZJFb9Lw
He lifted his arm up, and her with it.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWyZLSwvesw
"Let them go." Come on, Han run.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7Aov6W9eS1
Han was on the container across the room hacking away at it's cable.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAiq8yN5M1ix
The speed spell faded and left. Don't wear off now, come back.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAmWUDQHJMMR
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA78dKsl3NtV
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."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAhBUBCGUzxG
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANANh7QG4YPmB
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkW3XQqLUOW
"Well?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkSsDxwRuoq
"Let me help him first."
805Please respect copyright.PENANA2pWh9UNmMh
"Do it quickly."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAjRIpiNRWYt
Kar went over to Han who was wedged on the far side of a container. Kar swore at him every time he dodged away.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAwfRWQtktb7
"Get out!"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0EYqVvUZt
Everything below the hips was numb as she crawled over to Parcival.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWQzfLAsuum
"Spirits take from mine and mend of his. I will pay the cost." It came out as a harsh croak.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAhAxdOBgnZ8
She placed her hands on his chest. Stay with me.
805Please respect copyright.PENANATQuVP5p2w6
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAUEgj6CGyeD
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAM5A9mYmlxM
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAT0XcNWeyZD
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAqWZrcwLbev
His breathing was deepening and his skin returned to a healthy color. They were quick that couldn't have been more then a minute.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAnFjNAoahS3
"There's a mirror, only you hold. While broken its mending. Friend." She whispered in his ear.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAgopJHLseqR
"Now, get up."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAE2MO4Xtbct
Parcival pushed upright and frowned. "What did you do?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAiHY61u1sAq
"Nothing for you to worry about." Kar was still busy with Han.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbRbTgCPyki
"You have to get out of here. Go." Her arms wobbled, it was hard staying upright.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAbl0jjXmAYB
A flurry of soft padding of feet from behind. Han came over, breathing hard. His eyes wide.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAzubSAL5ReH
"I have shown restraint, more then you deserve. She is where she needs to be. Leave."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGnyJJVVIDG
She twisted around, Kar stood there.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAky3X21ALLu
Parcival shot up, lost his balance and crashed down. "I'm not much use right now."
805Please respect copyright.PENANA4PGoyLaqGg
"Crawl out. I don't care how you go. Do it soon, before I decide to drain you both of your life force."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAw1DbdxMK4x
"Han, get out of here and take Parcival with you."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAx4nmz62ss7
"Are you insane? I can't morally leave you with him!" His tail twitched.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAE2YA5mNbUK
He vanished and stood next to Parcival, his staff pointed at the doorway.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA2aO1BRYVsy
Han looked at her, his ears and whiskers drooped. "We'll get help."
805Please respect copyright.PENANA72A9TvbbLE
"No, don't come back."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGZjx6Rxdb7
"You don't mean that." His eyes teared up.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bo0UmXRCo
"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."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAjz0dpbxwHf
The words hurt and it was hard to look at him.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA0KuqhGqd4L
He scampered over to Parcival, held up his arm over his shoulder, and dragged him out the door.
805Please respect copyright.PENANANOUU9nRi4D
Hope they make it out. Goodbye. Her eyes stung and watered she rubbed them. She sniffed and wiped her nose on a hand.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA77qpXOjxf0
Footsteps behind her, Kar came into view.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAt2HNl85TrP
"I do regret doing this, but what you have in here ..."
805Please respect copyright.PENANATTtx6APRdZ
He tapped her head, a pulse spread from his finger tips through her head.
805Please respect copyright.PENANANIRC3aycqu
"Is needed. It won't be much longer now. I can't say if you'll survive."
805Please respect copyright.PENANASZKWK9n7wg
She didn't want to answer, but the fogginess increased. Her vision doubled again.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAgLuW0O4eQi
"What ... did ..." Her head slumped to the side.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAA5zhxtcT8m
He shifted and his forum wavered back to the youth.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAhW5jCbU6Dy
"Much better. If you behave and don't fight it you'll feel much better. Try relaxing."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAexwIctDFwu
"I-don't understand."
805Please respect copyright.PENANApFDPCg2hmL
"It's simple, I know you house the unnamed one. Only an adapt could survive its toxic spirit."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAO9jtbOB8Uc
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA49ZZkKMJQ1
"Gahhh." She ground her teeth and waited for it to pass.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAgW2E5KCJEu
"You'll find out soon enough just what that potion does, it's fully activated now."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsxwjwE9H2U
He smiled that hollow smile of his and tapped his own forehead.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAGkZbm2IVIj
"Its effects will be clear soon enough."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAvt5cntp7NP
"This is awful. You're awful." She swallowed a lump in her throat.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAn1zCknkL7f
"There see honesty. Good girl."
805Please respect copyright.PENANATNuPUWpVCG
"Do not fight me, or in this case even think about it."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAav4NWPBtKE
"Undergods burn you!"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAEFOXhjaFUz
"Such language." He did a series of complicated hand gestures.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7C4fSq1tNp
"Faster."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAKdiyKJB3Rx
What? She stood, the numbness left her legs.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAqDzIGiwMGl
"I don't feel like carrying you. Follow."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAXNDRqF3GPv
She rubbed her eyes. Don't get tired now.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAW6hx7Rmk1d
"We are moving to the Great Hall. Night is coming and it's going to become quite cold."
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7upipl3PlU
He walked out of the room, she was compelled to follow behind, fighting it just shot pain up and down her spine.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAIs1c3L4gcc
She sucked in air through her teeth the fogginess increased it took over, she walked quickly catching up.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAyXYuDLxHVc
Asleep or awake? She clamped her hands together. Awake, definitely awake.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAEaUC3JLhI6
"Tell me, did they cast any protection spell on you?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANASviuYSxQJo
He walked faster down the hallway.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAdv4A1Decfm
She tried to resist. This earned her another head pain.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAMbGsWCWB3R
"Y--e-s."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAYYXOzO5vqf
"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."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAgwPQqijFUn
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAkLsHcZajIv
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAAZeA1zZilQ
Kar stopped silent and watched her. She looked at him.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsmhz4NAhw8
"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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAmaVALAHTr4
"You will have but no choice to listen."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAT8uydc6ESI
He stormed over to her.
805Please respect copyright.PENANASeHXcv4YjL
"You and your people will end this world. Do you have any clue, that what you carry within?" He shook his head.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAOl9SwtFdZS
She leaned back as much as possible. Acid rose in her throat burning.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAsshzwZhG3l
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA8vcncD4lN5
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA0NTN89yA2U
He sat her down on the one on the right. He was in front of her, his breath smelled of something sweet.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA7aYspXT52R
"Vow to do as I say and not to escape, I tire of chasing after you, like a misbehaving pup."
805Please respect copyright.PENANABMFbLacXxD
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAQiumREPpWK
"Say it."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAANB8ws0MR0
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAJP1S00rUwL
"I refuse."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAMfJjmcXTqL
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAPPbSGtTfAP
She orbited her shoulder and leaned back, pushing on his chest with a hand.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAfyzoG56Z8S
"Get off!"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAIu30gRiu6v
A Dusk rat came over to Kar.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAucOPIbGJKw
"Master the man things are still down stairs."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAT06IEUT2DK
"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?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAvYBwd2wsGx
The fireplace caught her attention and she stared at it.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAR4gWLMJEo4
He moved close to her face next to an ear.
805Please respect copyright.PENANALQd20TkSaR
"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?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAyyAbF7NCyb
He held up a finger.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAJfTHGoyfrk
"I say a minute or less, he's so young ..."
805Please respect copyright.PENANA533AsdP6UE
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 ...
805Please respect copyright.PENANABg7jDSJaqK
"I vow ... to do as you say, and not to escape."
805Please respect copyright.PENANA0WqvPe0Kpx
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.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAd6Z3FDtYLF
Her eyes burned they stung as she fought back the tears.
805Please respect copyright.PENANA81LQHkmoWz
"One more thing. If the others return you will protect me at all costs or that what you drank will instantly kill you."
805Please respect copyright.PENANA5TaL0r4Dbz
He placed his other hand under her chin and squeezed it.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAVP1UZOnJvP
"I'm being kinder than you know. The others how much do you trust them?"
805Please respect copyright.PENANAWibtR46OUG
"Far more than you."
805Please respect copyright.PENANAv0bZQxFcji
She blinked rapidly and breathed in a few breaths. He didn't say I had to give direct answers.
805Please respect copyright.PENANAQqU1si7lcZ
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.
