Crush Crush Faint Remix or Bruises and Bite marks
Everyone was quiet. The adults conferred together and Warren finally said "Well, maybe we should undo the curse on Kendra," he explained " if we don't do something, she might not make it."
Seth nodded.
Seth also said "So are we going to watch her go through this? Oh wait, I won't be there will I?"
Everyone nodded.
"Ok (Yawn) I'll go to bed then we'll talk about it more later."
"Ok Seth," Vanessa said " You both need some rest."
Seth said his goodnights, ran upstairs and gently and quietly opened the door. He flinched when the door creaked, he didn't want to wake Kendra up. When Seth got to his bed, Kendra had looked through Patton's books on curses and whatnot. Seth smiled, she had been looking for solutions other than the one that Grandpa had suggested. Seth took the book from a sleeping Kendra, set it on the shelf, and laid Kendra under the blankets. She also had the reading light on, after Seth got changed and hopped in bed he looked over and Kendra, Seth thought he saw her smile. he smiled too and shut the light off. Sleep soon over took him.
She was slowly resurfacing, someone was slapping her gently. It was just like how Tanu (When Vanessa controlled him) Woke her from unconsciousness when Glommus(Sp?) the Guardian Dragon had surprised everyone by secreting a sleeping gas that knocked everyone out. The words were muddy and her head felt like wet clay being pounded on concrete.
"Kendra,' a voice whispered, "Kendra wake up." She recognized the voice. She sat up, and rubbed her sleepy eyes. The young teen looked at her with a serious face. Kendra jerked, only to gasp and grasp her sore shoulder. She didn't recognize the man until he said in a calm voice that was enchanting "Don't worry," he said taking her hand "It's Bracken, hurry we have to get downstairs." Kendra was still dumbfounded. She hasn't seen Bracken since he left to help the Fairy Queen restore her shrines. She grabbed her jacket and followed Bracken only to stumble and to be caught in Bracken's arms. Kendra felt blood rush to her face but shook it off and said she was ok, only to stumble again.
"Here,' Bracken whispered. He swept Kendra off her feet and looked into her eyes "I guess you've grown up since I left, huh?"
Kendra looked in his eyes, yeah he was a unicorn and all, but, still. He was handsome and charming. Kendra nodded her head "I guess so." She laid her head in his shoulder while they both went down the stairs to the living room.
Everyone was downstairs~ except Seth~ and waiting for Kendra and Bracken. "Ok," Ruth said steadying her crossbow, "Let's get this over with. You ready Kendra?"
Kendra didn't know. She just nodded her head. Bracken carried her towards the cart, set her down and whispered "I love you, and nothing will ever change that." And with that he kissed her forehead and walked towards the porch, left arm rubbing his right. Kendra sighed with disappointment that he wasn't coming. "Hugo," Warren called, "Take us to the forgotten chapel, avoid any dark creatures and protect us from harm."
The giant Golem treaded forward, along with two cenataurs, a couple of fairies and three satyrs that looked far from jovial.
Kendra was just starting to doze when they arrived at the patch of grass and flowers. 50 different types of creatures were there, painting what looked like a spell figure on the ground. Warren hopped of the cart, and helped Kendra off the cart and propped her up. In just 4 hours, the spell was worsening on Kendra, that's why she couldn't walk properly. He slowly walked her toward the painting set her down on the ground and talked to the leaders of the creatures.
A cenataur came over to Kendra, she had dirty blonde hair, leafy clothes around her chest, a satchel and a quiver of arrows. "Hello young one," her voice was as enchanting as Brackens' and as soothing as Raxtus', but something about her voice bothered her. She knelt down and sat next to Kendra. It was early in the morning and it was cold. Her teeth chattered. Apparently the woman saw and grabbed a robe from her sack and gave it to Kendra, who took it gratefully. She wrapped it around herself .
"Who are you?" Kendra's words spluttered out.
The woman chuckled "My name is hard to pronounce in English. But translated it is Winter Light, don't worry Kendra, everything will be alright."
Winter Light sat next to Kendra, who spoke of her adventures around the world. "I hope you survive. And remember Kendra, You must not give up hope." With that Winter Light stood and trotted towards GrayMane.
Seth dreamed of being on the lady luck. He imagined the undead sailors, he remembered Bracken's arm around Kendra. Then something talked to him:
Seth.
Seth jerked up. No one was in the room. He turned on the light.
Seth come to me. It is of great importance.
Seth tugged his clothes off and changed into his camouflage shirt, jeans and sneakers. He grabbed his new emergency bag, a leather satchel, with all the things that might come in handy. The voice talked to him again.
Seth. Seth…..hurry, time is running dry.
Seth knew that Bracken would be downstairs, so he opened the window, climbed out, jumped of at the lowest roof, and ran towards Graulus.(Sp?)
The underbrush made going toward the abandoned cave even harder than the last time. Thorns tugged at Seth's pants and shirt as he jogged toward Graulus. His leg's started to burn and felt heavy. Maybe he shouldn't have sprinted at first. Seth's voice was becoming ragged and gasping greedy gulps of oxygen as he stopped at the mouth of the cave. Seth switched the light on his flashlight and stepped into the cold and dark cave.
"Graulus? Are you-"
"Over….here….Seth." wheezed Graulus. He was slumped on the floor breathing heavily.
"Come….closer.. boy. I need…to talk…" he started to convulse heavily and harshly.
"Are you ok?"
He raised a crumpled and ugly finger to make Seth wait a moment.
After he recovered he said "I understand the fairy one is going to reverse a curse that it gripping her. I warn you, with that intensive magic, it will kill her. You must stop them before its to late."
Seth's only reactions was wide eyes and a ragged gasp. "It. It will kill her? But I th-thought it would heal her."
Graulus made a weird croaking sound, which Seth assumed it was a chuckle.
"Foolish humans. You mortals no nothing of magical curses, even I, an evil being, couldn't reverse this enchantment on the fairy girl. You must stop the ritual and bring her to me, as long as she is in your touch, she will not experience they gripping fear I possess."
"Bring her, and I…I will help ease her suffering. Goravan was once a long friend, we unleashed mayhem in nearby villages, after destroying many, we parted. I have not seen him since. After weeks ago though, I glimpsed your party trying to retrieving the artifact that is no longer here. I am not doing this out of kindness, but out of self pity. Not even a unicorn can cure her."
Seth was confused "So if I disrupt the spell, and I bring her to you, you'll help her?"
Graulus nodded slightly. "Correct, but you must hurry. I suggest you take the puppet. He is outside of the cave. Now, let me rest. Depart Seth Sorenson."
Seth walked out of the cave. Just as Graulus said, there was Mendigo with a miniature cart that the brownies had made him. It had blankets and an emergency kit. Seth hopped in, "Mendigo, take me to the forgotten chapel as fast as you can. Protect me from harm." Mendigo charged toward the direction Seth had indicated.
Soon Seth was off with Mendigo, hoping what Graulus said was true.
He hoped what he was doing was right.
