She pushed on his chest while turning him about. Then did the same to Han. "Go!"
895Please respect copyright.PENANAacUoMVfAzQ
"I resent being-"
895Please respect copyright.PENANA0LpSSNviBO
She growled at him. The Ancient side threatened to rip through her layers of self-control.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAghVeEXwBdC
She grabbed their arms, flipping them over twenty feet away, onto the soft grasses.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA89KbOtwX00
The spider-nab dropped out of the tree. She growled at it, unable to speak. Her body dripped with sweat. Daggers in hand.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAHZy6028D2s
I like this side of you. It's amusing to me, Unnamed said.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA3n5yBZRGTZ
Just shut up.
895Please respect copyright.PENANARpEV3dVn78
It lunged at her aiming for her head.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAjFH5HYcn7X
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?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAQuS0LaENxx
Parcival and Han ran over.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAlLCAG52EpW
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAK479xdApUE
It hissed low raising on its back legs, she rolled to the side, but not before its fangs sank into her arm.
895Please respect copyright.PENANArxrwtO0ZOl
She screamed.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAL2uSY13hgF
The poison already was paralyzing her arm, it burned. She went down to her knees, hands propped on the soil. The blood lust vanished.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA1YSP1sYOt2
"Merryn!"
895Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ4Igyxnl5
Han bounded over. Could only see his furry feet. He set his hands on her shoulders, a warming sensation spread down her back.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAFEg57ceoz9
She coughed.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAntGy92DBGu
The spider-nab let out an airy squeal.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAutpCcQ0O9L
"Die already!" Parcival poked its abdomen with his saber.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAbNuAKxEkkz
The Adapts are wrong. Humans aren't week. She smiled a tiny bit.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAGNgtBrbL8x
The warmth receded, as a burning starting at the base of her spine pushing it away.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA38MhaV5Ycz
"It's not working! Parcival quit playing with it and kill it already."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAx29Z2XVmSJ
She sank down on her stomach. So tired now.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA8eTyuvVeoK
Her heartbeat in forefront, slowed.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAd6c0El7zPI
Thud-thump.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAY9anxX9eHz
The spider-nab fell down into its own body fluids, as its appendages were chopped off. Good.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA2ziFEkkxxP
Idiot, should have taken the mountain route. Gods hex it all! If it ... get's free they'll die too.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAJlIuAEsqgZ
Thud-thump.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAcm92cqT6MS
One of them snorted. "You call that playing?"
895Please respect copyright.PENANAljJXqmfiUz
"Can you fix this?"
895Please respect copyright.PENANAwpTAnMNKxo
"No, it's too hard. She needs a higher tier priest. I'm more of a scribe then a healer."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAka5wrOpcPw
"Leave me."
895Please respect copyright.PENANACPAX1XG7bI
"Did you say something?" One of them said, as to who, well, they both sounded metallic.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA07I8ovWXH2
"She's becoming cold. Hurry up!"
895Please respect copyright.PENANAc5AEwYHMD6
The burning poison spread into her torso, then to her toes.
895Please respect copyright.PENANANqjWzFX5Ep
Thud-thump.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAXjXnZGLD1n
"Need to hurry, her aura is fading."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAoSfyPQNd8M
"She's delirious."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAAUzBSKR3y5
One picked her up. She shuttered as the touch sent a shock into the biten sholder.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAxWQAnwdALh
"Sorry."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAC3z7zZNi5N
Some use I am, falling to poison of all things.
895Please respect copyright.PENANADps1cyc7hT
Curses and angry words filled her ears.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAXu5KO0ZUR0
Thoughts became heavy after this and her eyesight cloudy. She closed them.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAbAlwlB1wyE
You dare to die on me vessel? I'm not done! Answer me now!
895Please respect copyright.PENANA4tz0eyvb9w
"Merryn! Don't give way to sleep!"895Please respect copyright.PENANAQKC6h8FuwH
895Please respect copyright.PENANAGHgT915t4m
Shaking.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAGTjn4xOaiO
Thud.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAxkEYPiDCyM
The darkness gathered from all sides, each sense faded in turn until just the darkness remained.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAjh03ZaIAUO
Silence.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAxl3BBC7VBo
####
895Please respect copyright.PENANAlR42vTYb0X
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAXWiERe7iMB
Where am I?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAxLgw3APnLC
All looked different, had a gray tint to it like when at night. She stood behind Parcival.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAFWzbGd0kYx
He shook ... my body?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAiJW1grmBHs
Then shouted while he carried her as he ran towards a dirt road off to the east.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAluJt6ydagK
She was pulled out along with them, so stopped trying to walk.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAZukWc1omFN
I hope they figure out my body needs to be sealed or Unnamed will come out. Probably kill them. Why?!
895Please respect copyright.PENANAu5tYnPkBzA
There were threads of energy connected to the body. They were so transparent that they were easy to miss.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Aoy1o3fG
My fingers. She formed a fist and thrust her right spirit arm to the side.
895Please respect copyright.PENANADV2FfBNYcU
Nothing.
895Please respect copyright.PENANACQ9mi22RuI
Now what?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAQCd9jRp1zS
Energy. What was it mom said about this again?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAMc15ACJFPF
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAq6nSsBKShX
Energy. Our souls are energy, with bodies of flesh to ... to what?
895Please respect copyright.PENANArnidATCm1t
Memories were as slippery now as an interrupted dream.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAgnXQecxmIl
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAabwbwXaRJg
Hum. Some used treestone but it wasn't the same it didn't collect the light spirts energy as well.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA5LoaOKRXrn
What was I doing?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAK9PDMKL1n0
Part of her wanted to wander inside.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAfiNyeNkH2R
The priest looked straight at her.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAexLdP8v5LD
Can he see me?
895Please respect copyright.PENANA4Oae3dNe5A
He visibly paled. Then began talking rapidly to tall armored man and the puffy cathet man.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAcx94vFxq6W
They all went inside, pulling her with.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAWWomgwR8xK
Ick. Her body was swollen and seeped blood from her mouth and nose. Yuck.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAnFlaliz3fV
She backed away as far as the thread would allow.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAM4tv6roimY
Her body twitched and jerked.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAzkr1JtF2Ok
Oh. Right. That's what I've been doing.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAI3ufSYZEzT
She jumped and flung both arms up.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAfOhXgXczkf
Nothing. Again?
895Please respect copyright.PENANA9dvint2Cf2
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAYESiQCTI4c
All three yelled and backed off from the body.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAkqwLUSoxUv
Oops.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAwhrMvzhJrw
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAQqyus1boc3
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA2rPwyVVrdT
He pointed to the armored man, who nodded and placed her body there on her back.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAzcuOoa9p2q
The priest talked some more, and they all sat down. The priest at the North end of the rune, Parcival west and Han East.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAzdMLZesjRx
It was difficult to watch, she squeezed her eyes shut.
895Please respect copyright.PENANABQi9wb0vGA
When she opened them her body's eyes opened as well.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAVRzvomEFhz
All three sat around her cross-legged, they startled when the body's eyes opened.
895Please respect copyright.PENANArXCHD2tV6A
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAc2AjpBRt8W
I'll just sit here, trying to move just upsets them.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAs0k2qBXY3J
She sat beside the armored man. He shivered.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAeaZcJ3iGG6
A bright beam extended out of the priests palms seconds later the same from the others.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA4RfajxDsPF
The beams intersected together over her torso.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAMipfeHyoc0
Her body writhed.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAECHXpsPUt7
Vines sprouted from under the body and whipped out at the three, coiling around them.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA4ISHY21lQK
That can't be good. That's right, for good or ill, I'm that things vessel, must be looking for energy.
895Please respect copyright.PENANATEbT2m82M1
But ... why care? A new pulling sensation different from the darker ancient one tugged.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ1b7DzT3p
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANACYrK5opKo9
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:
895Please respect copyright.PENANAlLKMggxVSB
"Come."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAomHK0nHSm8
She held back just shy of taking his hand. Tears wet her cheeks. Grandfather. She shook her head slowly.
895Please respect copyright.PENANALamRnlM9eC
He nodded and turned back into the tree. It dipped back down, vanishing.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAf8zfKNrOGl
Twisting around, the men struggled under the vines. She frowned. Why are they so important?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAV3ive177xs
Yes. The god. The weakened god. Was it trying to take their energy?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAQRtgjLTgQA
She pushed it aside and went over to her body. She gathered the threads in both hands and yanked on them. Come on!
895Please respect copyright.PENANAjD2jwwuHaR
The body twitched.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAo4kIpHTXU1
Vines erupted out from her mouth, they wrapped her body covering it. While the other ones tightened. The vines glowed and Han slumped over.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAkcLtwSjBv6
Must do something! But what?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAKOXtfwM806
The priest jumped up, tensing up his arms.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAJFSnXPnuo6
That is it!
895Please respect copyright.PENANA9GyvbiTE7H
Sweat ran down his face as he tensed against the bonds.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA06ioz5RJe8
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA7TyBQUbUA6
Turning back, the priest was glowing. The vines split, showing a glowing white hand.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAeBIrtBh077
I see, he used a light spell to cut it. Clever. Light has heat as well.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA5EBC1xadD7
He freed the others, than walked over in front of her then pointed at the body.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAufL4AXht7u
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAU9DidGhN4P
I'm not going back in that!
895Please respect copyright.PENANAsFHNgVRSpE
He looked at her and pointed to it.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAT5Vr4oBDIo
What? What do you want? I can't go back in. Right?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAXWc15WvpkW
She shuttered.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAXZACSAALSQ
The man in armor came and gingerly picked up the body, placing it again on the rune.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAto3fJ4nHB0
She moved forward following it some.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAalmvbyDmpv
They talked again and started up the bright beam again. This time finishing and covering the body.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA6Qd7Zz6tTk
The thread shortened dragging her toward it.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA8PzpnNxBda
No! I changed my mind! She clawed at the smooth marble unable to grip it.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAxWlWNkO0it
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.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAeB8cuwDNHo
A final tug pulled her back in.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAr20ILTmsdf
The world flooded back, lights, sounds, color.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA01SnjVMGB2
Pain.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAHXgsiiAc2q
Everything is pain.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAHIhJBpTZNF
Her body twitched.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAYHTQQsjUAK
Han had his hands on her chest, they glowed green.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA9pwVsN4SU3
No, let me die!
895Please respect copyright.PENANATdckTIt8iy
A touch.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAFVKgPmEpyG
The man ... Parcival. He held her.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAi5siHTkB3R
"Stop scaring me like that," he said.
895Please respect copyright.PENANASlyd5YxiQt
A croaking sound came from her was she tried to speak. She coughed and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAQUpxTcLfbJ
He stiffened. "Get over here and heal her all ready!"
895Please respect copyright.PENANA9ACipuvH7a
"Of course," a gravely voice said. She turned her head a little. Ah, the priest.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAkqbWelBKZx
Her body strained to bend during a spasm, her back cracked.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAKqnW8A0KN1
"Yaaaa!"
895Please respect copyright.PENANA1kAFgfeemT
The wall. My back hit the wall.
895Please respect copyright.PENANATcvXpCRnca
Tears squeezed out, as all of the pain scorched through her. She clenched her jaw.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAR2HtWyce6c
"Don't let her move, she's still close to death. Keep her sill."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAl89DFMQwL0
Parcival's huge hand hovered over her face, then rested on the crown of her head the other pushed down on her stomach.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAgX7qDGM7bm
"Stop moving," the priest said.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAPAVV8WrtVN
"Shhhh."
895Please respect copyright.PENANALFRbe8FVKO
She huffed. It did hurt less being still. Or was that the healing spell?
895Please respect copyright.PENANAhOSqTrzywl
Regardless a not so bad numbness seeped in. Her face relaxed, she unclenched her jaw.
895Please respect copyright.PENANA45Vygmwqch
Hans face hovered over. "How do you feel now?"
895Please respect copyright.PENANAPX0bjdxEtt
"Numb."
895Please respect copyright.PENANAItKt1Q5GOo
He managed to pale under the fur. He looked at the priest who shook his head.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAENEdHeBosU
"Go grab the long flat board in the other room."
895Please respect copyright.PENANA88oOpxJfPX
Han came back a while later, holding it. They held her neck and back with their hands, then slid her on it.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAgnIcyi8W7c
It pinched. But do-able.
895Please respect copyright.PENANANUfT69D63q
They took her to a room with a small bed and lifted her on it.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAnGZTsLR24U
"Go now, I'll tend to her. Get some rest," the priest said.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAM78UBuYpgR
Later they left, he closed the door, then came back.
895Please respect copyright.PENANApiOTWZuf3f
"What to do with you?" He brought a thin object from under the left side if his robe.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAo6EokAV3c8
Its handle that showed shone in the candle light.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAo9TurkW5Al
She flinched and was rewarded with a bolt of pain that sucked away her breath.
895Please respect copyright.PENANAOjvx3tr3nA
"If I heal you that thing lives. If I let you die it will be free. Correct?"
895Please respect copyright.PENANANRlQhrV3pO
He stuck his face up into hers. "Why do you host an evil spirit? I can see it, it disgusts me!"
895Please respect copyright.PENANAFzt8Me7VlL
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!
895Please respect copyright.PENANA4T7rFbp8kR
