She pushed on his chest while turning him about. Then did the same to Han. "Go!"
899Please respect copyright.PENANAAk1lmD3tgx
"I resent being-"
899Please respect copyright.PENANAqsTqVHS8kQ
She growled at him. The Ancient side threatened to rip through her layers of self-control.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAgSKT1DInS1
She grabbed their arms, flipping them over twenty feet away, onto the soft grasses.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAcypiFTaZ9y
The spider-nab dropped out of the tree. She growled at it, unable to speak. Her body dripped with sweat. Daggers in hand.
899Please respect copyright.PENANADaK8TwjXm5
I like this side of you. It's amusing to me, Unnamed said.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAbRP9qjSe1A
Just shut up.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAYD3NZ7ba4O
It lunged at her aiming for her head.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA0sHL3vshZQ
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?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAQQGmIpywTm
Parcival and Han ran over.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA7pO2WcV78D
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAq9Zrq6NLZf
It hissed low raising on its back legs, she rolled to the side, but not before its fangs sank into her arm.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAOZbvnZhL8n
She screamed.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAxh9qsqUmL9
The poison already was paralyzing her arm, it burned. She went down to her knees, hands propped on the soil. The blood lust vanished.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAKjS6c1rcJ5
"Merryn!"
899Please respect copyright.PENANAKsYbgymEI4
Han bounded over. Could only see his furry feet. He set his hands on her shoulders, a warming sensation spread down her back.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAQXpvmVtdcH
She coughed.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAlZC9iqmGKK
The spider-nab let out an airy squeal.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAuiqqhTNLZ7
"Die already!" Parcival poked its abdomen with his saber.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAC2EukIjQsf
The Adapts are wrong. Humans aren't week. She smiled a tiny bit.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAckq5sEzqWX
The warmth receded, as a burning starting at the base of her spine pushing it away.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAg3nOVsSGrL
"It's not working! Parcival quit playing with it and kill it already."
899Please respect copyright.PENANA9fmo0QKQ6H
She sank down on her stomach. So tired now.
899Please respect copyright.PENANApFU4kjN8MM
Her heartbeat in forefront, slowed.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAfJrg0Zpy7G
Thud-thump.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAjwmUtuch7D
The spider-nab fell down into its own body fluids, as its appendages were chopped off. Good.
899Please respect copyright.PENANApklABPhza5
Idiot, should have taken the mountain route. Gods hex it all! If it ... get's free they'll die too.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAouaFVg1bOG
Thud-thump.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA0f95A6XoNV
One of them snorted. "You call that playing?"
899Please respect copyright.PENANA5bJuzEa4K6
"Can you fix this?"
899Please respect copyright.PENANAXBgbVtG73N
"No, it's too hard. She needs a higher tier priest. I'm more of a scribe then a healer."
899Please respect copyright.PENANAFyg5xTONcI
"Leave me."
899Please respect copyright.PENANAF9WUp2a8J5
"Did you say something?" One of them said, as to who, well, they both sounded metallic.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA57JmcdxKhF
"She's becoming cold. Hurry up!"
899Please respect copyright.PENANA72RqbNROwg
The burning poison spread into her torso, then to her toes.
899Please respect copyright.PENANADNjmwB7PAu
Thud-thump.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAnPcgXvZSYQ
"Need to hurry, her aura is fading."
899Please respect copyright.PENANA18DTbOEPXO
"She's delirious."
899Please respect copyright.PENANANrmkmWzPPV
One picked her up. She shuttered as the touch sent a shock into the biten sholder.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAwxUrOQVXz6
"Sorry."
899Please respect copyright.PENANAADOzAkmAbS
Some use I am, falling to poison of all things.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAU4vU5l5HxI
Curses and angry words filled her ears.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAOfb27MSrYg
Thoughts became heavy after this and her eyesight cloudy. She closed them.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAswNZmjO5Sn
You dare to die on me vessel? I'm not done! Answer me now!
899Please respect copyright.PENANAvkuDWXVIQw
"Merryn! Don't give way to sleep!"899Please respect copyright.PENANAfFAK7YZJpS
899Please respect copyright.PENANAlisQkbBkE0
Shaking.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAubdKgO7Epc
Thud.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAfqR0cL23si
The darkness gathered from all sides, each sense faded in turn until just the darkness remained.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAQKyVdyKsy8
Silence.
899Please respect copyright.PENANATxZB7B8Wy0
####
899Please respect copyright.PENANALWkRSdCZuP
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAcl6cuysxyZ
Where am I?
899Please respect copyright.PENANA4UrKz0Kvt9
All looked different, had a gray tint to it like when at night. She stood behind Parcival.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA5wrlJZB7W8
He shook ... my body?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAFfvJNc6h2C
Then shouted while he carried her as he ran towards a dirt road off to the east.
899Please respect copyright.PENANABSsSRKlcyp
She was pulled out along with them, so stopped trying to walk.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA2RglLCEPrQ
I hope they figure out my body needs to be sealed or Unnamed will come out. Probably kill them. Why?!
899Please respect copyright.PENANAwLrQXzyQys
There were threads of energy connected to the body. They were so transparent that they were easy to miss.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAb7wwQusGtn
My fingers. She formed a fist and thrust her right spirit arm to the side.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAMh4Wj9FFYW
Nothing.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAQwv9rqt81N
Now what?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAfTY5plvA98
Energy. What was it mom said about this again?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAhqAkKO1oCV
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAu0bCTOEWCy
Energy. Our souls are energy, with bodies of flesh to ... to what?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAOJL2dwtab5
Memories were as slippery now as an interrupted dream.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAVqukz1DBL1
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA86TcFZ2iXf
Hum. Some used treestone but it wasn't the same it didn't collect the light spirts energy as well.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAH2tNqbHlEd
What was I doing?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAm875pUbssM
Part of her wanted to wander inside.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAI2riIYgkNf
The priest looked straight at her.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAuhNPOJJVVY
Can he see me?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ9nb0rE0o
He visibly paled. Then began talking rapidly to tall armored man and the puffy cathet man.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAIjrgVGUSga
They all went inside, pulling her with.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAOP7WbjBKOT
Ick. Her body was swollen and seeped blood from her mouth and nose. Yuck.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAUV99sEGQzR
She backed away as far as the thread would allow.
899Please respect copyright.PENANANRLwvh0udE
Her body twitched and jerked.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA99tlute7Kg
Oh. Right. That's what I've been doing.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAiTVzMo3TZW
She jumped and flung both arms up.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA16mC11eHy4
Nothing. Again?
899Please respect copyright.PENANADvpJoJ4bM7
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAXekdTJORIa
All three yelled and backed off from the body.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAlR2djXYPDO
Oops.
899Please respect copyright.PENANACPvAg1FVlG
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAw81njD45Aa
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAttcngcqMmN
He pointed to the armored man, who nodded and placed her body there on her back.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAucgf51S1EG
The priest talked some more, and they all sat down. The priest at the North end of the rune, Parcival west and Han East.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAoiVM4Jj4ZJ
It was difficult to watch, she squeezed her eyes shut.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAKinCo5nxcp
When she opened them her body's eyes opened as well.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAEW2N27WcwU
All three sat around her cross-legged, they startled when the body's eyes opened.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAYhbNvTCs4S
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAFoqXpmGdZj
I'll just sit here, trying to move just upsets them.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAUIcW8pEnqF
She sat beside the armored man. He shivered.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA5VXoMfXoDL
A bright beam extended out of the priests palms seconds later the same from the others.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAWX392Hqn42
The beams intersected together over her torso.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAzKsNkosVt1
Her body writhed.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAQrmfi9Zok1
Vines sprouted from under the body and whipped out at the three, coiling around them.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA2joxXmUcCN
That can't be good. That's right, for good or ill, I'm that things vessel, must be looking for energy.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAALUFLSyJZc
But ... why care? A new pulling sensation different from the darker ancient one tugged.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAmp8pFzrRFL
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA5jBgM0SwGx
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:
899Please respect copyright.PENANANnXjHKBoK1
"Come."
899Please respect copyright.PENANAhNUUnG5KRv
She held back just shy of taking his hand. Tears wet her cheeks. Grandfather. She shook her head slowly.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA9LAsVbrJG6
He nodded and turned back into the tree. It dipped back down, vanishing.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAzaJZKinCnA
Twisting around, the men struggled under the vines. She frowned. Why are they so important?
899Please respect copyright.PENANA3pJzUbTdpr
Yes. The god. The weakened god. Was it trying to take their energy?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAg9OUfeKaYJ
She pushed it aside and went over to her body. She gathered the threads in both hands and yanked on them. Come on!
899Please respect copyright.PENANAB20Xl2DrQO
The body twitched.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAhGjfUJlIsx
Vines erupted out from her mouth, they wrapped her body covering it. While the other ones tightened. The vines glowed and Han slumped over.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAaHPdRJtERm
Must do something! But what?
899Please respect copyright.PENANATBIgvAJnaq
The priest jumped up, tensing up his arms.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA2AOZ4cIA4O
That is it!
899Please respect copyright.PENANANNd7TVemRC
Sweat ran down his face as he tensed against the bonds.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAj7PK2lTN1s
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA4kA8cHdlRU
Turning back, the priest was glowing. The vines split, showing a glowing white hand.
899Please respect copyright.PENANArsVCQjQ6Jz
I see, he used a light spell to cut it. Clever. Light has heat as well.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAWFgBY9VEW4
He freed the others, than walked over in front of her then pointed at the body.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAAeelsAL2UE
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAd63aY8HHUv
I'm not going back in that!
899Please respect copyright.PENANAXovLlHYnck
He looked at her and pointed to it.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAmhQeHTgzjJ
What? What do you want? I can't go back in. Right?
899Please respect copyright.PENANA8fmPFoQpnD
She shuttered.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA6I5Lbv0wux
The man in armor came and gingerly picked up the body, placing it again on the rune.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAAtdkFl6RUF
She moved forward following it some.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA5KNASvmonp
They talked again and started up the bright beam again. This time finishing and covering the body.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA51YiRdgX3w
The thread shortened dragging her toward it.
899Please respect copyright.PENANALIoWTLLKZI
No! I changed my mind! She clawed at the smooth marble unable to grip it.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA3F7PZHtJqJ
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.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAXbXvmnWxyP
A final tug pulled her back in.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAdUMRJfiyj6
The world flooded back, lights, sounds, color.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA1OZetqAEg5
Pain.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAI89sufqy74
Everything is pain.
899Please respect copyright.PENANASAzd1Ijtfu
Her body twitched.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAvoqRiPN5bx
Han had his hands on her chest, they glowed green.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAPDV28aIN5O
No, let me die!
899Please respect copyright.PENANAbzOiDWcyZ3
A touch.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAisFUQV2Stk
The man ... Parcival. He held her.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAZm0eucO5sO
"Stop scaring me like that," he said.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA6NAW9QGGeT
A croaking sound came from her was she tried to speak. She coughed and spewed out a mouthful of blood.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAa3hEtqrpLw
He stiffened. "Get over here and heal her all ready!"
899Please respect copyright.PENANAFx19dozdNc
"Of course," a gravely voice said. She turned her head a little. Ah, the priest.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA81cPzCgH5F
Her body strained to bend during a spasm, her back cracked.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAfTJuRkRXmB
"Yaaaa!"
899Please respect copyright.PENANAq3EEshshWT
The wall. My back hit the wall.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAWXn6YX4AZR
Tears squeezed out, as all of the pain scorched through her. She clenched her jaw.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAIpU0Qxa3Xk
"Don't let her move, she's still close to death. Keep her sill."
899Please respect copyright.PENANAMugHKMldf0
Parcival's huge hand hovered over her face, then rested on the crown of her head the other pushed down on her stomach.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAWnLU82PxMv
"Stop moving," the priest said.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAYrWm0WP0K5
"Shhhh."
899Please respect copyright.PENANADLu0RLSkwu
She huffed. It did hurt less being still. Or was that the healing spell?
899Please respect copyright.PENANAVX0XzS8ocy
Regardless a not so bad numbness seeped in. Her face relaxed, she unclenched her jaw.
899Please respect copyright.PENANABbXbfikVQj
Hans face hovered over. "How do you feel now?"
899Please respect copyright.PENANA8VGgs0uAOv
"Numb."
899Please respect copyright.PENANAiWfzPCCXCp
He managed to pale under the fur. He looked at the priest who shook his head.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAl3yIyQVguo
"Go grab the long flat board in the other room."
899Please respect copyright.PENANAsvF9MDQ9i6
Han came back a while later, holding it. They held her neck and back with their hands, then slid her on it.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAjfElSRlOiI
It pinched. But do-able.
899Please respect copyright.PENANADP180Oko2L
They took her to a room with a small bed and lifted her on it.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAXgpZSli55O
"Go now, I'll tend to her. Get some rest," the priest said.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAKhtoRQCzBu
Later they left, he closed the door, then came back.
899Please respect copyright.PENANA4js8synxVq
"What to do with you?" He brought a thin object from under the left side if his robe.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAiIsMC5QY2c
Its handle that showed shone in the candle light.
899Please respect copyright.PENANADkIJZgcd6Z
She flinched and was rewarded with a bolt of pain that sucked away her breath.
899Please respect copyright.PENANAqsbelzvrql
"If I heal you that thing lives. If I let you die it will be free. Correct?"
899Please respect copyright.PENANAD3F62Od6UX
He stuck his face up into hers. "Why do you host an evil spirit? I can see it, it disgusts me!"
899Please respect copyright.PENANA3PKlZv9WGj
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!
899Please respect copyright.PENANADCb2nVwtis
