Burning Soul

“It goes without saying, ‘We all once believed in a lie! A beautiful one and closed her eyes enormously.

I don’t have any resentment nor can I change what has happened!” Yvaine Got up from her seat, with her slender hands she stroked her hair flicks back, swabbed her tears which rolled over her cheeks and her mood looked a bit relieved.

“Oh,

Right now should be the time!

We can go and check on them!” She looked back at others and suggested.

“Ship out!” Aeneas took a jump from his seat with little exhilarating expressions to the door,

But was knocked mid-air, “Don’t you have any manners left!” Merida had knocked him viciously twice by now, an ace was getting hit just like that!

Even the bystander couldn’t avert their gazes.

“This way everyone!” A nurse came in to lead the way, Yvaine also waited for everyone to get up and head to the chamber where both Milot and Vivian were being treated.

As per what she said, the poison was quite potent, and it caused huge damage to their body. The poison attacked directly on their immune system; its characteristics were similar to that of the poison of the Great Black Viper.

The antidote to the poison was not easily available, also the nearest place where they could get treated without the mercy of their enemy was farther than they could make it; it was the kingdom of Lamorra.

“By the grace of the god I reckon, she survived as her health and stats are weakest.

As for Milot, he’s a son of a gun! Nothing will kill him that easy.” Yvaine said

“And the other one is not you say!

You should see her in action, your view may change” Aeneas had barely got up from the ground, only to get punched back.

“That being said, we can now head in!” Yvaine opened the door to let everyone in the room.

The room wasn’t overly decorated like the main hall. It was rather simple and decent. The colours of the wall were light, rather white with a very delicate design of fruit wines. The blue coloured design went well with the walls, also the entrance wasn’t direct but the first thing that welcomed the guests was a small porch whose floor was lined with wood and there was a small plant kept at one of the corners. The porch was to take out shoes and walk bare in, to prevent dirt from entering, also there was a small duct of running water to wash feet. Windows in the room were quite big followed by light yellow coloured curtains and the pots containing some flowering plants were kept down near it. The chilly and uncontaminated breeze from windows kept the room ventilated.

The tiniest details were not overlooked and that reflected the quality of the place. After moving the curtain that separated the porch from the beds, they could see Vivian lying on one of the beds. She was still sound asleep, near her was a vase with fresh flowers. The vibrant blue coloured flowers were losing petals as a swift blow of wind passed by.

The window allowed fresh air and sunlight to enter but one could clearly see a barrier set up on it so as to keep dirt and dust from entering the place.

Even though it wasn’t a hospital but just a healing chamber for royalty and those who couldn’t get treated in hospitals, the place surely was exotic.

Seeing their companion get treated the best way, Theo along with others could take a breath of relief!

As they walked in, hearing their footsteps, Vivian opened her frailed eyes and budged her body towards the direction of the sound to see who was there to meet her.

Looking at the first person who stood right next to her, she almost let her eyes get wet.

“You’re back!” She spoke in a rather low tone. Her injuries weren't grave, but she still was suffering from the side effects of the poison.

Looking at him trying her best to greet him, Theo was a bit sad. He felt guilty for leaving her behind and putting her through all this!

“I’m back! I’m sorry I left you behind to face all of this!” He felt too guilty saying so and his smile and eyes had a very tendered look, it seemed that he would rather start crying.

“Umm-hmm, I’m sorry for making you worry!

I am not strong enough to protect myself and I thought I’d save others!” She had a sorry expression,

“It’s not true!” Theo took a step and held her hand,

“I shouldn't have been selfish!

Just to train me, I left you all behind and you had to face it all alone!” his action made her flustered, her eyes gleamed little as he talked.

Seeing them like that was an enjoying view for Merida until,

“I Heard you were hit hard, but you are all good!

Made me worried for no reason!” Aeneas spoke nudging his face and stroking his hairs with voguish expressions.

Naomi and Catherine who were standing behind Merida were able to clearly see what was about to happen, “I think someone needs to die today! You got one more bed here?” She looked at Yvaine and asked with dead eyes. She could see ‘Someone’s death clearly!

“You came back too?” Vivian looked at the commentator with narrowed eyes!

“Wait! You didn’t want to see me alive?” Aeneas looked at her with shining eyes, a key characteristic of cats when they seek attention, it was plain as day to everyone that he was just feeling left out!

“It’s not like I didn’t want to see you doing well or something, you idiot!” She was quite taken by both of them, Theo who was holding her hand and Aeneas who had a grip on her sight.
