"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA2u0gsx42Vs
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAi5XysGLkUa
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAyNVjkkzzWd
He paused.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAqCl0wxqPGM
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAbRbJHxAu1l
He scooted closer.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAUDzvGDHHCj
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
894Please respect copyright.PENANApPi7yFJGYM
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAQX0YYD7YHg
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAR8ASIm2m2C
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAjBDlnakqJs
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAe7BIAmZBJJ
He ignored her twitching.
894Please respect copyright.PENANABssbnEsQEb
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAY3Dh1prn5H
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA2XWtBDjte6
She swallowed.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAHW5UHnLXrB
"Can you guess what it is?"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAoBugxGdVtD
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAt6dsugAa6H
"A strange knife?"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAu49EhCcW0G
He shook his head.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAzV3Sy3jTXo
"Wrong!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAfmGK4JrLSy
A knock on the door.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA588E9y9NQ7
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
894Please respect copyright.PENANALNW1rMyczB
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAlhXtIlgUGG
"Feeling any better?"
894Please respect copyright.PENANACMT6oTy3cK
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA3B5S6QQyaD
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA1kFMYB85xX
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAMz50dKbcpd
He came back.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAGWKAk0TK3H
"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."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAKUXbpTKoFq
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAwVSJ0A3LNM
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAWGYxxMWacS
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAlJAHLtgIQN
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAYrDUiNDWjc
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAjT95AsWpdH
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAzrNwBq5JnG
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAiZFVwgtch3
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
894Please respect copyright.PENANArlTLQnq4Df
Tap.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAbj87QtvcZw
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAZL2gDW7TrT
"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."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAYbUrRC0LxL
Huh?
894Please respect copyright.PENANAlRP4nautUf
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAWHTSgqG9Gt
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAnqfr86FYrG
"No, the other one."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAQvZqLyM1va
"There is no other."
894Please respect copyright.PENANA4pBpn6iGOk
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAWTQeTf96k3
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAg14SKGJJLe
"Stop!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAW9FLXx2h9x
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAjBlvs11CHu
Not tubes again.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA7vzrh0hx6r
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAYTTPH7PYJW
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAGDBsJvsoVz
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAsmceOn3GKh
"Stop!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAb6V0eVOj9M
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAqRxShXYvMc
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ56cnPa2y
The priest pushed her back down.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAOY6kMzA90w
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAjTqxPO4yny
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAfj4yp8ZmZX
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANALALBjDCyjM
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAOHTxA6X3KQ
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAPIieWtJJWj
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAPJpzRaBP7d
"You'll apologize later."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAx4GPFK1ugH
Crack. Pop.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA8msi5jIuBg
"What in the world was that?" he said.
894Please respect copyright.PENANARb3RGHEvAk
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAmqeWmpuKg7
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAARukeP2tu4
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA2OeBgtw5a9
"Humm ..."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAXzNFGAeCt3
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?
894Please respect copyright.PENANAd2rh8IOHyC
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAzuz7VqAqOD
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAHw7lj31DBY
"Take the tubing out first."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAD0zJM293vL
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAMNeWvj83Vw
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA8DW1d8OTDb
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAlHii9ktSXB
"I need my tools."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAihpcO45qp5
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAvanwhnd4fn
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAo9N9h5PrdQ
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAksx7Q9Koa8
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAEAOrTpD58S
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAWhqqpOoP4l
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
894Please respect copyright.PENANAfu2CpkLJ2Y
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAkzEWhZ1dnU
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA0miVtiZQgd
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAaj5PNvZXQB
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAnLcAxuhjNe
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAWZHu2oz9lT
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
894Please respect copyright.PENANApvs8D1Fo7y
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAYLPVgxe2yY
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAItv2SCVYOw
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAnUsF71LMy8
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA9HAiNvZwkC
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAkwviMoomXi
A figure waved though the smoke.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAuXxHRhdHlA
"Merry! Over here!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAyIrQDA6iE1
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAuCzahQz4v7
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAF1jAEoMV8z
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAGH64ODM9mH
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
894Please respect copyright.PENANABrC4gvNSU4
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAhS9BdLH16z
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAoDUkW2Xv7K
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAlrRffjgYl6
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA8LJvuYJx02
The idiot priest bent over her.
894Please respect copyright.PENANALHQqvtKVTn
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAxEAN9oZm9K
She ground her teeth.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA7citH42yvo
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA7yGk5BkXxU
"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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAGxOURtp5BX
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA0kvgJGEVw7
Fists pounded on the door.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA2vhXqYguhw
"Merryn!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANA4fMQwuozq6
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
894Please respect copyright.PENANArwU5Yl5rl9
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?
894Please respect copyright.PENANAVH8ui0oumK
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA9tYRUGjm0A
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAoaXNRjenyV
She bit on the edge of his hand.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAmFYHfAoxoS
"Ouch!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAzHwvQY69eY
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAKNXnI1Vwus
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAPxo1v31jD4
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAfNeO0p8duB
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAgwq7T2o9Vj
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA8Yq2C5D6sI
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
894Please respect copyright.PENANA3GF1xwsY5q
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAIjwZDgnkq4
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA6AaZzZxNoN
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAEyYNR0p5m3
Skittt. Thump.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAt8zWfrUvH9
A sword burst through the door.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAyo6rDpia6g
"Merryn!"
894Please respect copyright.PENANA9si7cbpucv
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAIF0b0dn7FA
She cracked her knuckles.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAWLgzV7sh6z
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
894Please respect copyright.PENANA9NZmRyFJbk
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAcoOHwIexgR
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAhlp5JkFZQA
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAlotMQpp5Xf
He backed away. Grinning.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAfFmdhMaWGI
She paused.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAGdu4vuE01D
"Good." he said.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAglopPzipuj
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA16TBjrv7lH
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAdNlalGljXO
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAx1f7bv0ZQH
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAUSSB3kE8qQ
"Jason."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAr8Oi8CXqj2
"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."
894Please respect copyright.PENANALxhlxDyS86
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA1ADaMse81G
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAqqX29eCQFa
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANADpdcQne6o0
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAdFqiVRCdsl
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAYxm0r0vjUc
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZFWTmrqGb
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAvBzHgY1QKG
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAZSbD2IUVah
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAQC1LzPabzP
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAtpy0xL09YA
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.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y1AzZ8WNe
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAAG6H7kFqYJ
Should kill him.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAltbhYFXheB
Next time. I need rest.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA14miMjuAiK
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
894Please respect copyright.PENANA1UmTSONkId
Parcival picked her up.
894Please respect copyright.PENANA2rxD6ThFG9
"Thank you."
894Please respect copyright.PENANAothL08jp6a
"We're friends, right?"
894Please respect copyright.PENANAlHs3DtoDBe
She smiled.
894Please respect copyright.PENANAcLS6a3ESLy
