"I'm not sure what you're talking about." It wouldn't hurt to make sure, just in case he's being tricky.
891Please respect copyright.PENANATgBZHACr84
His eyes darkened to green and the remaining kindness that was there before flit away.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAdfeKiF6N7t
"I knew you come here sooner or later, my dreams showed of your coming."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAJju7vU1klH
He paused.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAZzBbtlJG0W
"A great evil bound to a mortal."
891Please respect copyright.PENANA5wxsMjmDVS
He scooted closer.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAVw3XKcidJl
"The spirits in my dreams have whispered the truth."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAcjxzmsLZwn
"The god is not the great evil, he is the one suppressing it."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAwHhn8MBtRX
Her hands turned cold and a breath stopped short, she gaped, frozen, unable to speak.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAQGYD25NWsr
Running away and fighting weren't an option. The god-Unnamed was ill.
891Please respect copyright.PENANACA4NMsxCx9
A line of pain coursed down her back, the rest dulled compared to it.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAn1AUPXnsKl
He ignored her twitching.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAQGyroPPg5H
"They gave me a divine mission." His grin was unsettling.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAyrnWWzrzuF
He took the item from his robe out, a weird long pointed object with a bulb at the end of the handle.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAr1o7RSrgBw
She swallowed.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAQzpbu8qgjY
"Can you guess what it is?"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAofvLEupazd
He poked her cheek. "Guess."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAaRnmK9naoQ
"A strange knife?"
891Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ih9o0GJEa
He shook his head.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA6EMtPNcYw9
"Wrong!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANA8IWP364Ba0
A knock on the door.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAoHbie0Pb9F
"Dark ones silence this woman!" He double tapped her forehead.
891Please respect copyright.PENANALRdZ1tv0zP
Parcival and Han entered and came over. The priest glared behind them.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAJXK6QZJZF1
"Feeling any better?"
891Please respect copyright.PENANA6HIm8P3vwL
" ... " Attempting to say no or anything similar resulted in total paralysis.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAarFZBECTzE
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAdbLmxUuT6z
The priest stamped a foot and spoke quickly. Parcival sighed, then nodded.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAYjqtzb1qtf
He came back.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAoSQk9WIJNb
"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."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAKBRgHldBeC
He squeezed her hand before abandoning the room.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA4B3SX717bw
Han waved as he left. The closed the door.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAvAO3RrRh5o
Can't blame them am a broken mess.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAKDdUBncOKC
The priest picked up a tall bench and placed it next to her, he sat.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAfhTHK7Ait8
"I was a little cruel with you earlier."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAB4yJKQkeZm
A little? Her eyes narrowed.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAl7nj4QOuEk
His hand slowly reached over with the same two fingers.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAu8GnLOjrMw
She closed her eyes. I can't stand it.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAe0BIcyh6vY
Tap.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAQsNF3oDYTr
She blinked all head movement returned. A tightness on the throat increased and then released.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAtV14cTM7d4
"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."
891Please respect copyright.PENANA5A7uFtyuZK
Huh?
891Please respect copyright.PENANA9esGsx9fzz
"Draw out the god?" She tilted her head up some.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAYqq0kr0HNT
He waved the bulbous object near her face.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAJl46Se6LpC
"No, the other one."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAAH0QtiSaQd
"There is no other."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAIUU0FZV3tq
She raised an eyebrow. Insane, he's completely insane.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA8KeaBkJ6jU
"It doesn't matter. With the state you're in the pain will draw it to the surface."
891Please respect copyright.PENANA9yeoJZluNJ
"Stop!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAR3HRSpPLQl
Ignoring her, he stood then went to a shelf behind them, removed the bulb and in its place attached a long tube to it.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAvkgZXuxAYL
Not tubes again.
891Please respect copyright.PENANATpirBCGrjN
Her breathing quickened and chest tightened. Get away, got to get away.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA92ckrhqAqO
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAqVgQkax7Wn
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAJrArli1jXX
"Stop!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAcOLOZPcaSS
He snaked the tubing over her body and stuck it into her neck. The blood filled it and ran down into the tubing.
891Please respect copyright.PENANATkrARN07LL
A scream broke free, her head arched back while clawing the bed with the left hand.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAkoCxd1IVq8
The priest pushed her back down.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAChHF7SSDZQ
"Jaekn the mighty dark one, release this poor wretched creature!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAx8ZUNozf1g
He went back to the coiled tubing and pulled on a thin chain that hung from the ceiling.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAnt3z7EnQVK
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANACuQFuxIWRP
He sat down again, watching her, and occasionally the coils too.
891Please respect copyright.PENANALD0IrkpOjH
"Strange. It should have came out by now."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAEtvrks9uxM
"If I could move, I would kill you." Her voice thin as wet paper.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAtWmJjKtlgd
"You'll apologize later."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAlcfSjYKeGx
Crack. Pop.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAfvGql8IUGk
"What in the world was that?" he said.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAvxap6bIi8d
"That idiot priest, is my natural healing ability, as I'm Elvin. But as you set nothing my bones are healing as they broke!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAICdXef2d5l
"I ... just wanted to .. free you."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAtt4DMg1qJq
She bit her left hand to avoid screaming as right leg healed, bent.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAVRrH2Ivc8Q
"Humm ..."
891Please respect copyright.PENANA6miqE1T8IZ
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?
891Please respect copyright.PENANAhqImkTx3NE
Her heart beat quickened and her body vibrated. Her face cooled as did much of the upper body.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAgmCY7vvGg4
"I've decided. I'll first set your leg and arm then decide what to do," idiot priest said.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA2DDeoZ4vFY
"Take the tubing out first."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAQVOh47B2Hu
"No. It keeps you and the spirit weak. I'll slow it down, it's pumping the blood out too fast."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAwBFArmzKHz
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA4yLr9KSUsK
The idiot went over to a desk by the window slit and picked up a small scroll.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAVE0wYPg3TF
"I need my tools."
891Please respect copyright.PENANASaQCprgs9B
He left the room, closing and locking the door.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAUrEm2C0E1m
Tools? Pointed objects and hatchets came to mind.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAtpCIiqqZuw
The hollow tubing in her neck sent a shock of pain through her. Reaching over with her left hand, she strained to reach it.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA2nNkzvWy5j
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA49dyv3QLrb
Full bloods healed far quicker, this wasn't necessarily a blessing depending on the injury. She laid back and waited.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA4iC34yVJh1
The blood in the tubing poured out soaking the blanket. What was it a little over sixty, some years ago?
891Please respect copyright.PENANArINEVGYW03
"Mother you're bleeding!" She clung to her dress.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAEGs4Damox8
"No, I won't leave you!" She buried her face blocking out the horrible sounds of weapons clashing and shouts.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA2fcVsUPVuA
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAqOeOeSps5r
"I'll be fine, you need to go! Run to Grandfather's house, hurry!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANALY1IvIvyXg
A human soldier jumped down from an outdoor stairwell and landed in front before she could take even a step.
891Please respect copyright.PENANARTBqDZ9kXK
Mother appeared behind the man, grabbed the back of his jacket and tossed him several feet away.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAUDBk5k8dWV
She clapped her hands, sharply. "Go!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANA6SE6vo9dpq
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAtHYcZSJrcm
The grass stained red with blood was slippery. She fell down on it, before finding the walkway again.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAcYVMVvJeNt
Where am I? "Grandfather!" Don't cry too big to cry.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAWcJakiDHbA
She rubbed her stinging eyes with the back of a hand. "Grandfather!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAiHkGQ1E54q
A figure waved though the smoke.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAdDM2gOSv9O
"Merry! Over here!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAaiKuIUD4aB
She ran to him. They left the city and went down to his house hidden inside the hill. Grandma flung open the door.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAJMZIrtgUKl
The door opened, Grandfather? She blinked. No idiot priest. He carried a thin, long wooden plank. Damn, couldn't heal fast enough.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAZAe0XnFSc5
A weakness started in the left arm and couldn't lift it. The blood still flowed from the wound.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAnUhVBEandf
Voices in the hallway and shouting. Footsteps rang on the marble an all too familiar sound. Quickened footsteps always ...
891Please respect copyright.PENANA6SoHc8x1wq
"Out of my way! Do you know who I am?"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAH9POPU0nAw
Annoying tears blurred her sight. She blinked them away.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAXNU7ZpzpKr
"How dare you intrude on this temple!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAB48oBtvD85
"Temple my asrse, you're all zealots!" said Parcival.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAIXbgkDjtu4
The idiot priest bent over her.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAaoW4QEzWeS
"You don't mind well, do you?" He pointed to the tubing.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAwU1vhPC3hh
She ground her teeth.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAY3lK8JATI4
He closed the door and pushed the desk in front of it, he placed the plain on it.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAW2owJPfjgM
"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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAqUNCCfYvNa
He picked up the tubing and dropped it over the bed's end.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAxXPyL6IkvX
Fists pounded on the door.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAs9NwO0LtYC
"Merryn!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAX3zsWhT5Q1
"Par-" the priest covered her mouth with his rough hands.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA2L2pbamyin
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?
891Please respect copyright.PENANAZapmjOqCso
The pounding changed to a slamming that shook it.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAE4LDnbqnf1
"Master also said ... he is coming for you."
891Please respect copyright.PENANACADGqFFnWh
She bit on the edge of his hand.
891Please respect copyright.PENANATYgm48EEeH
"Ouch!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANA39m9kF3FQO
He took her badly healed broken arm in both hands, yanking and pushing on it simultaneously.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAaWPuj1cMkp
She sucked in several deep breaths, eyes watering.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAiFtaCq3xlK
The slamming of the door stopped and the clang of metal started.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAwcJCbt8jln
"I come back to help you and you bite me!" He shook his head.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAoUAXVsmUrs
He pulled the blanket off of the broken leg.
891Please respect copyright.PENANATgA4dL9pI8
"First to fix you up a bit as it's unsightly."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAVVXG9sOFnP
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAx51x9X6KZY
His hands glowed as he made the bones aline. She stared at the ceiling, as it spun around unable to speak or move.
891Please respect copyright.PENANADRJeRz0uus
Crak. Her back straightened and the pinching pain left.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAra5ClP22e9
Skittt. Thump.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAV1Ab2w8eCe
A sword burst through the door.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAADt1HNkwG9
"Merryn!"
891Please respect copyright.PENANA72IwHW5sh3
He tried to hold her down. Fist connected with jaw, he stumbled back a few steps, with eyebrows raised.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAdbDBaHDGL4
She cracked her knuckles.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAp702kL5gqT
"That was a mistake. All. Of. It."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAFt5fSfn4st
The neck wound still wasn't closed yet. No time to worry about it.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAWHROBWwXpY
Sliding off the bed she stepped over, wobbling some avoiding the pool of blood.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAmFVZc2hxpc
Nothing wanted to move, her head hung to the side. Get it. Together.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAbprs2ArHsy
He backed away. Grinning.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAjCcIKgR6Kz
She paused.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAjttwYCeGDg
"Good." he said.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAP66MNHqoJy
"Good? Good?" She hobbled over making the stiff legs move.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA3WD0oxEaek
"Master need to know. He need to know if it really was you."
891Please respect copyright.PENANA8kwwykmcWF
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAdlIQZcjqbY
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANATcIR9Luofn
"Jason."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAPADAVxQubI
"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."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAv6sm0x1TWM
A step forward. Then another. The pain lessened on her neck, the limbs still pained from movement and were wooden.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAWnUjf7D1ig
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA3eM69Xyqlf
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAkyMwwD7XLU
His face twitched as she half stepped, half hobbled over.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAEpd8yaK2f9
A foot away, he backed into a corner.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAvP1rwSjK4m
"Didn't think this through did you human?" She hissed at him.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAloYaDnSnN1
"How? Why? The poison killed you, so how?" The rune smeared under her feet.
891Please respect copyright.PENANA4QOcZSEDc1
"Poison is difficult to cure, injuries however ..."
891Please respect copyright.PENANA9uJ0LHRG0e
Jason looked over at the doorway. "You can't let her do this, don't you have a code?"
891Please respect copyright.PENANArc3txC0FNm
"I'm sorry what was that?" Parcival said.
891Please respect copyright.PENANArdCHPtFvue
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.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAzheexSrXrT
"Next time the treaty won't save you."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAseCOjo101B
Should kill him.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAOWgIVTUwug
Next time. I need rest.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAZnk5Sgzwy4
She made it to the doorway and leaned against it. "Forget this town, let's take the mountain path."
891Please respect copyright.PENANA5q0QiEw1qy
Parcival picked her up.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAkPBKqddrRn
"Thank you."
891Please respect copyright.PENANAUUxYVMR2zF
"We're friends, right?"
891Please respect copyright.PENANAzOZaVGjTq1
She smiled.
891Please respect copyright.PENANAfoQ7aCGBX9
