"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAKY4G6fd7vP
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ztL1Bxd5
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAA4kdW3Qx4S
He paused.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAMoYaWNV8gy
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAe13M2pBDXP
He scooted closer.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAc3aC7A49w0
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
753Please respect copyright.PENANA58EEQtlnoe
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
753Please respect copyright.PENANADRSd6wYzUT
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
753Please respect copyright.PENANABQwPW0K7oR
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA6EtJk973X2
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAWLbA9SmjnM
He ignored her twitching.
753Please respect copyright.PENANACmBjZHq3P2
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAEqhveOfcUm
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAmhTXN0apW9
She swallowed.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAN4AfCixzP3
"Can you guess what it is?"
753Please respect copyright.PENANA1QDcsSRxEw
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAEdAddcj5vI
"A strange knife?"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAnwhXn1pkCb
He shook his head.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAi0tF1nyIny
"Wrong!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAKVbYAVFii6
A knock on the door.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAHbA5qeTyTW
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAJLq2HBvVfv
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAGNyiKD0q6y
"Feeling any better?"
753Please respect copyright.PENANA2g5M4HoiwW
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
753Please respect copyright.PENANALlDyvrWE6u
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAGCaOhEYMpE
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAtJlPGQMycA
He came back.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAnfTIlV0IX1
"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."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAEoAvi3p8JV
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAajwAiQ4kby
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA9qmtRGOpw8
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
753Please respect copyright.PENANApJkFzOstQV
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAT4ieVv340V
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
753Please respect copyright.PENANA0zAAiagQ4p
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
753Please respect copyright.PENANATEeTaocslK
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAH5lSbzRZTt
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAcC196p67HU
Tap.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAnxS4gVFvbv
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAvmh8VljevY
"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."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAJcL9hsAigL
Huh?
753Please respect copyright.PENANAUa1ysMIHfZ
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAtwj3dhmiSq
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAd9k1XFgvYq
"No, the other one."
753Please respect copyright.PENANA6As65n7VK1
"There is no other."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAOlcte8zIgG
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAdGxt3sHc5S
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAHZLeCISW3Q
"Stop!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANA2LIvJpiZNH
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAK66asAwjo1
Not tubes again.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAd7SNTGi3A5
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAU6UHxJaiIi
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANATEBkxGYLPE
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAGPkSgQbPiO
"Stop!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAceqfSZOhq9
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAj5BophdQYq
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA0J6Yv5fSmd
The priest pushed her back down.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAAIqvLMSD5I
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAOb52aPyCjt
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAYBgriBJfyB
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANArSqM44nzyD
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAkom0W0Kt4w
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAgWgjDUxQWI
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAgUqziUQhr2
"You'll apologize later."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAYo8A0kYst1
Crack. Pop.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAo0JstH6dkR
"What in the world was that?" he said.
753Please respect copyright.PENANArykYL5YxSz
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANA0ppPB0P7z6
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAJndeq8ACuc
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAo3uoDo7ojB
"Humm ..."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAaq2XPSPxl4
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?
753Please respect copyright.PENANA3sWUJ5WIK7
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAOl9shJdNL4
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
753Please respect copyright.PENANACmoogB6yI5
"Take the tubing out first."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6PzYPLFUZ
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
753Please respect copyright.PENANA3ziXZlc0Fl
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA5OlCyEC1XV
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAqN7UunlakY
"I need my tools."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAlc6J2LVGpG
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA4ER5wk4ocV
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
753Please respect copyright.PENANADdOkqz4Jhi
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAux4NjKGb0G
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAZjSDDj7dQQ
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAxdaKRCPKGI
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
753Please respect copyright.PENANAgoDyzCAETJ
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAmTq5jv1FIm
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAnFWgqgaGjr
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAoZfi65Hlwy
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAJN0wg7A8mS
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAUV6CSSYGXO
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAO22gEkvoPR
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANA2U4YM2C6dX
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAcYY15yBKvy
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA37RsSJRWEG
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAmp2daEYVCo
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANANsSqZnuNJw
A figure waved though the smoke.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA7kK8ief2CG
"Merry! Over here!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAwzZ1eKFaiV
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAdh1QoJ6Y0a
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAENGayRaAiT
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAzmnLrLwwTo
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
753Please respect copyright.PENANAHE2Gj5RuAq
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAM82Qibsg9E
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAlFNqdQQTGj
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAcspHSEaVDH
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
753Please respect copyright.PENANACDQOt6fvhG
The idiot priest bent over her.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAOftQTBDjr4
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA6SpSDaNYhp
She ground her teeth.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAl8MLiZC6fD
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAVqVfm3i4zW
"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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA6qkM9ilUIH
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAFHI6X6Mzt9
Fists pounded on the door.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAbMgnE3wobB
"Merryn!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAa8gC95OrQa
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAWdP3spX3oL
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?
753Please respect copyright.PENANAFmbtVqSYeH
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAHmPfBnKWOU
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAUQi4ZIX5kt
She bit on the edge of his hand.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAtyczLbkqJE
"Ouch!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAv1ZvOQ02ln
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAkokrPeRtxW
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA5MG1ngJ98r
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAkeJMSoDFIF
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA7BPVfDibcw
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cgs2nvLX9
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAPMI2FWbwRV
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA4pTs5AL0JL
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAqH8tlqoC2h
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAUYvOA4ES0Q
Skittt. Thump.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAITA2aqokEM
A sword burst through the door.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAWPhRQ6k84S
"Merryn!"
753Please respect copyright.PENANA0yCNChM6xO
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAswQxhU7uaO
She cracked her knuckles.
753Please respect copyright.PENANArEILeMp4l4
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAjcY5oXKPL1
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAg2S31puSx1
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAWg0V8P1jyQ
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAMakw7HbMcb
He backed away. Grinning.
753Please respect copyright.PENANACex56XLNtP
She paused.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAeP9cBlyTX9
"Good." he said.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAenKJlvLu7M
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAl8xe5qw7jz
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAPg4YeBheIR
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAE2OjfQnikQ
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAHb5zbx6XQr
"Jason."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAsGFT4ETPpZ
"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."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAvnjjBH6dub
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAlnoAVMsPcm
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANADgXkSYl3BN
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAkIax8E9HBr
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zv4si30Ko
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA37RdBnGbfn
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
753Please respect copyright.PENANABguKZKfUAK
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAddKZWitNqp
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAUcKOQLDcl7
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAqzajwvgyiC
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAFNCoZ2FlIp
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.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAwaJ755hPhH
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
753Please respect copyright.PENANAj6sqq2S5dv
Should kill him.
753Please respect copyright.PENANA5A2Yc0TwQY
Next time. I need rest.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAahO690DZct
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
753Please respect copyright.PENANA74UImeAi5K
Parcival picked her up.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAknDgTqbm9R
"Thank you."
753Please respect copyright.PENANASbzlXa96KG
"We're friends, right?"
753Please respect copyright.PENANAZsE5qrP4RI
She smiled.
753Please respect copyright.PENANAS5QCwYokWj
