"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAT2w65sXrmi
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAhppc1DLNO4
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
887Please respect copyright.PENANABUpJsPdQ6k
He paused.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAaX6P5YfAye
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAo1IcCsCRwO
He scooted closer.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAkPmQC1QYVe
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
887Please respect copyright.PENANACZ5Sv6l3iL
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAVzcS39UvSh
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA5SmbbVALsM
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAV0AvUkrdpF
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAEGjEcvQSRh
He ignored her twitching.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAS7VE4xiNdA
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAQZYNreHTSY
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAnO2McYA9Tr
She swallowed.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAMS6ysRJurh
"Can you guess what it is?"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAYWFXxBAty3
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAmE3vg1Male
"A strange knife?"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAlBYARK5ByR
He shook his head.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgUYL5jltpy
"Wrong!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAr0bcUqwfa1
A knock on the door.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXtnuiOGpqU
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAbMvUrsjaVB
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAJfSBohlGVW
"Feeling any better?"
887Please respect copyright.PENANA4rOGj0B5km
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAE408rSuAY4
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAv9b2EYE6rq
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAf7KUvhSpmF
He came back.
887Please respect copyright.PENANABBYb141MZR
"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."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAoIUFWdTHlb
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgSVYjQbeub
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
887Please respect copyright.PENANADpLIhQl0mZ
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAEHYOU4wrrD
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAW9VPID4dO2
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
887Please respect copyright.PENANA1uFzUdQdsT
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAAkP9uLeGfN
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA8o3LKT5BHE
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfPoBONLWuP
Tap.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAPXWRByeLyc
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAz4aUG18rE7
"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."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAGdogvSyrH4
Huh?
887Please respect copyright.PENANA8wGwA4MDsv
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA3Md4IrZ8uK
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
887Please respect copyright.PENANADUUf1JjJQK
"No, the other one."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAO9hUyMezNI
"There is no other."
887Please respect copyright.PENANADySQKDU8sg
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAhNi0g4qSlg
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
887Please respect copyright.PENANA5RTIYLjGLD
"Stop!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUwkWUrNiLN
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANACYSLjSK5zn
Not tubes again.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfoz9yWhbb0
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAoh4ANtXtGh
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANApx92TWcIbA
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfuteIERWeH
"Stop!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAPf9uPaMHac
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA860kdCLL3F
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAB2gfeOMdbV
The priest pushed her back down.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA8AzRnky9lj
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANA1T04BQ01hx
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA5JruBWL7fn
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAxcWeTSQLE7
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA3lUcu9tNgc
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
887Please respect copyright.PENANABiBrh0w1AG
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAD8Poiw2jxo
"You'll apologize later."
887Please respect copyright.PENANA4QoLbizGo4
Crack. Pop.
887Please respect copyright.PENANArOvAjULp1K
"What in the world was that?" he said.
887Please respect copyright.PENANADjcC5LHTij
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANABSeGOhVNPH
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAcdksBCuGI6
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAowtXP9qqvi
"Humm ..."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXkQiwQY0PC
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?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAVjgJY3YZFA
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
887Please respect copyright.PENANATfEUI0IHnJ
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAuM6SVWYVKD
"Take the tubing out first."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAuQliJkGeke
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAw41DQC2sWN
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAt7go72FV2H
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAuC5tKnZGH6
"I need my tools."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAi5BjYqGzG5
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA8ivdAgcxd3
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAWsnYmfkGdD
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANADSlRjlsJNv
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAnlGiSG9ztc
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAHXhURLGnJM
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAS10esjygmM
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAkizpgTcNfx
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAp7GvYAh4R6
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAlobvDcmrQu
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAHChiomQhmw
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
887Please respect copyright.PENANACHH3XZ333T
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAGf1kq1va0Q
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANA04o5FIkZTg
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAn0Z7EKmNNH
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAAi57z0JXww
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAPeUTPY5DC1
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXHMd3eORJL
A figure waved though the smoke.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA6gAWc7zZiJ
"Merry! Over here!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAD0UhBvc0Od
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAdYOZ4VWqo9
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA85GGs349vV
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA2CMe7MvB90
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
887Please respect copyright.PENANAfgxTVbVhfw
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAqcuS9l6Sqm
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAnmnoFiEUqW
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANADAkZ9gPr50
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
887Please respect copyright.PENANASkoaGBR1Uz
The idiot priest bent over her.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAuTBaoaoGSJ
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZRJXwEI1m
She ground her teeth.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAOQBgoU4qKT
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAAU9YEWR96N
"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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAmFEXWwKMvW
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
887Please respect copyright.PENANApVWO1H7fos
Fists pounded on the door.
887Please respect copyright.PENANARsgzwgzB18
"Merryn!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAMNnbk1nIWK
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAx35neo9dff
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?
887Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2m2K1ap1f
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAa4LWUtHsN2
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAGxZhKQwM3a
She bit on the edge of his hand.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA59FkgY2ksn
"Ouch!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAatDlrwRcCA
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAIMcfxbgC2I
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
887Please respect copyright.PENANACrHVAGGbof
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
887Please respect copyright.PENANATnktxN7Rhp
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAMn9wrBrzD6
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA5ASERvNU0V
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAH4EGDF0S1c
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAxYklpHrY4V
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA7EQfHEQBtJ
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAXCAAgkMQgt
Skittt. Thump.
887Please respect copyright.PENANANXcQ6fHp3Z
A sword burst through the door.
887Please respect copyright.PENANARK0XSzqvvh
"Merryn!"
887Please respect copyright.PENANA9okApwTJwT
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
887Please respect copyright.PENANASlTo0sowFH
She cracked her knuckles.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAmtBsUxRs1S
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAKOSb8tJBbf
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAToJAO6x21o
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAYE7f5zlnxx
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgS8xfvQ7ol
He backed away. Grinning.
887Please respect copyright.PENANASOKtWZg6wD
She paused.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAN5RLmcD2fF
"Good." he said.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAz4jQ0X72VD
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAYTASKobHox
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUX8vBj4Kxt
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAx6WdB8tQOO
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAgxo1WEIATt
"Jason."
887Please respect copyright.PENANACtq8ghVEnf
"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."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAsEAeFTYioy
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAV3RwO3jXJv
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAQU9xvydYiz
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAhoPXuvUxIv
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA2o6AtHOM7A
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAFmdi4dIOg8
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUMTgvLHO8i
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ3zgcoWe9
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAPuKRsABZbH
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
887Please respect copyright.PENANA6J4uJof0KE
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA62HjOmiynd
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.
887Please respect copyright.PENANARNDe8cuwGj
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAKnjQQIe600
Should kill him.
887Please respect copyright.PENANA2g00lmRlYY
Next time. I need rest.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUo6xCsbW6T
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAUivTSPvxA7
Parcival picked her up.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAPWprv09vOY
"Thank you."
887Please respect copyright.PENANAnR6vlckUm7
"We're friends, right?"
887Please respect copyright.PENANAEJ0y1rb0rk
She smiled.
887Please respect copyright.PENANAMsZjffzX9H
