"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
911Please respect copyright.PENANABN2Jf0FlA6
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAIM8jzz4VCw
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAhZdFvJnuw1
He paused.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAMuklWDN6W6
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
911Please respect copyright.PENANA0HJ20ZdyKt
He scooted closer.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAejKxrNpgBM
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAyBlShxpuSl
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAfKKXmapu8S
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAIV5Lxgwi1S
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAQeXi2h4Epv
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAdt7UquTU5u
He ignored her twitching.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAFbyqrlMWTR
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
911Please respect copyright.PENANATXWlUKoGUp
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAcbEGhRfLxq
She swallowed.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAqeVj7yorn1
"Can you guess what it is?"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAnYPZv006BS
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAY0oFZ8slPH
"A strange knife?"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAz8qqHImWBW
He shook his head.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAN8wADETyhD
"Wrong!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAYGz2skOCKj
A knock on the door.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAHMmeXhAfsZ
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
911Please respect copyright.PENANADrBIKjyzrr
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAqXIaTdn5aC
"Feeling any better?"
911Please respect copyright.PENANANniS8c0iCU
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAfXsB21mWT0
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAnElLhV8Qmn
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAClbWW9Xn18
He came back.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAvw6rBZnWVW
"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."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAT066skbcB7
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAZFYSSXPUEw
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAK44obfmut5
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
911Please respect copyright.PENANABwMgPuELkE
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAmyjbrZC24k
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAG2S7zUUDx8
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
911Please respect copyright.PENANANR7JUTPFk3
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
911Please respect copyright.PENANALYD2DMgO5s
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAdea73MEvvI
Tap.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAgEXCoVwK0a
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
911Please respect copyright.PENANApKyLyD7gK3
"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."
911Please respect copyright.PENANADiuxrh7lIK
Huh?
911Please respect copyright.PENANAp31ngV2qDn
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAPu9kwSYMJT
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAFBc6UDJ8Aj
"No, the other one."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAj1wmjt0H7F
"There is no other."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAJFySBg3zwG
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAsS7gchToLH
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAe8i12LLkUE
"Stop!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAyDcPqhStC1
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAhZGZOfKhW3
Not tubes again.
911Please respect copyright.PENANASsHnjkuHdu
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAtATaQPh08B
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAAC6fZGI823
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA8lNM1aVQaS
"Stop!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANA3WDz0eBQHY
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAkS5Uct84wi
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAUcFTHPqu7K
The priest pushed her back down.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAlcNwyLyCdM
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAXr25RMSlu8
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAI7VuWMIPFi
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA8pUmYa2zn2
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAGXpQ04Wy63
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAKF7AkmCOS3
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
911Please respect copyright.PENANApWHy4X2E1q
"You'll apologize later."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAhnGBnP8vVt
Crack. Pop.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAfNvhJM0st1
"What in the world was that?" he said.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAqiSHBqujaT
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANA5j39o8HYgy
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
911Please respect copyright.PENANATEBNyxsc7W
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAK8zq3nW86C
"Humm ..."
911Please respect copyright.PENANADt29La6SEb
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?
911Please respect copyright.PENANAKC265NMeCt
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA3knkLTJtaM
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAwZmVw78GH9
"Take the tubing out first."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAybPgQMPaEO
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAWt7RTQeXHh
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAj8AOWjDnxA
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAbId3M4UCkN
"I need my tools."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAdg1G0qMjXo
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
911Please respect copyright.PENANADuHEnXDYtk
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAyYcl1CVfSJ
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAk31w5wf6va
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAYht8yKIohN
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAnxI8MDVyoa
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
911Please respect copyright.PENANASZoMn0X2uM
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAC4yyxjYTxv
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
911Please respect copyright.PENANASGkD0bjG5q
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAM3qOWO5wEV
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAVIQ6ZXjkV1
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
911Please respect copyright.PENANARb2yuPFQ9A
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAxfbbSIH5gV
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANA3u1PGxpobu
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAALtW39AlVu
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
911Please respect copyright.PENANALHhTOegXFy
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAt0slOzkPTo
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAS7JCwREEEi
A figure waved though the smoke.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAQDNyRxzsTu
"Merry! Over here!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAUbcL4PQ7V8
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAfQHnDEYvUu
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA76808G6Oyj
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAOPTw2D6ShJ
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
911Please respect copyright.PENANAa3n2K89z4f
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAiHgpctsJYU
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAeyJ42M7D8v
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAPinAF9eFil
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAtSbXKWsJUw
The idiot priest bent over her.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fq6UgoajA
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
911Please respect copyright.PENANADqIDeMKNua
She ground her teeth.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAjO1eg6UqHJ
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAGIz6uZX4Qb
"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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA6GOWAx62ET
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAv8shxMEs5k
Fists pounded on the door.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAPmFTqFkrie
"Merryn!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAhL7rVWZ0Hg
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAH7H9Gox070
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?
911Please respect copyright.PENANAGbQXmvEcLZ
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAtPwocTFYf1
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAmbWJxbApIj
She bit on the edge of his hand.
911Please respect copyright.PENANARCE0mKbTHt
"Ouch!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANA28nPyAqi1t
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAd6X6PxlFL4
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAG4j85AKczd
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA7lEcXHBehU
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
911Please respect copyright.PENANADtMekQeCpR
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAFbUH6zgOxI
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAKcRyvRNRO4
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANANhIjIYm3bz
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAxA9X1cVa21
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
911Please respect copyright.PENANACdzcBPxUqY
Skittt. Thump.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAlKmwPM3wXM
A sword burst through the door.
911Please respect copyright.PENANATEZzKuuoTM
"Merryn!"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAhH0uPcXztF
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA0FtX7JGQa0
She cracked her knuckles.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAvNxvcbgovd
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAMLQjTNuKrJ
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAfSBvk15MJn
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
911Please respect copyright.PENANADx5JJfN3l2
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAQrXfEe9cCd
He backed away. Grinning.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAXmCyacBp6y
She paused.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAG5ID2nljea
"Good." he said.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAhRVfuSOnP6
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA2OCfKeEpnV
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
911Please respect copyright.PENANA4e5LJZrApw
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAefGAcqI0Vk
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANALlfugI0hYZ
"Jason."
911Please respect copyright.PENANATjbJDcDPv2
"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."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAsvF5CY02k2
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAPueuJMvErS
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAzSbGm0Nsq2
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANA98qMxNjikd
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
911Please respect copyright.PENANARsTUhfrObm
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAT0wyRxLunw
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAAtvvrfNEKQ
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAQItQll89Vf
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
911Please respect copyright.PENANADVnTpdrkOk
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
911Please respect copyright.PENANAI6uKv77Ny7
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAXdFp9OnTJo
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.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAsXxUnLheba
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5TAsg2e2J
Should kill him.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAre3LbnIThf
Next time. I need rest.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAqTfOsER17O
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAVDlwhcXJNh
Parcival picked her up.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAvoak98x5ab
"Thank you."
911Please respect copyright.PENANAGtDO06QaeX
"We're friends, right?"
911Please respect copyright.PENANACs7JmXrGkm
She smiled.
911Please respect copyright.PENANAljVrwUS7bT
