Chapter 14
Takinom was desperately searching through various Mugic books and scrolls hoping to find a necromancy Mugic she could use on Chaor. Ulmar had been told by Kaz that the spray had worked and so was awaiting Alice's arrival to the city. Takinom had not said a word to anybody since Chaor had been killed and whenever someone tried to talk to her she just gestured for them to leave her alone. Ulmar saw Alice walking like a minion towards the entrance of the city "she's tainted, great!" he said a smile painting itself on his face.
Ulmar approached Alice when she go into the city "Hello there" he said to her "hello Ulmar" she said back to him – the same monotone voice used towards Zamool being used. Ulmar guided Alice into the area where Takinom was. "Takinom, I've brought Alice to you" Ulmar said and Takinom turned around to face the two faking a friendly character to Alice "it's a pleasure to see you" she said lying through her teeth "it's great to see you too Takinom" Alice replied again with no emotion. Ulmar had previously told Takinom that he had sent Kaz to taint Alice so they could use Alice to their own benefit.
Ulmar left Takinom and Alice alone. "Do you have any powers?" Takinom asked Alice, Alice nodded "I know several air attacks, a couple of fire attacks and necromancy" she replied. Takinom's eyes grew large "you know necromancy?" she asked, Alice nodded. "Could you help me Alice?" Takinom asked "depends what you need" Alice replied. "Well you see Alice, there's been a terrible despairing thing happen. My master Chaor - leader of the Underworld was murdered by someone. I would really appreciate if you used your necromancy on him" Alice's face turned to a look of compassion "of course I'll use my necromancy on him, he's a great guy from what I've heard".
Alice was taken to the area where Chaor was laid and was left to do her necromancy. Alice conjured up the energies she needed her arms becoming enveloped in a grey and blue light. She uttered a bunch of words and the energies shot out of her arms and into Chaor – the wound in his heart healed and he gasped and awoke, life restored and his personality exactly as it was. Takinom came in, a smile on her face "Chaor, I'm so glad to have you back" she said "who healed me?" he asked Takinom whispered in Chaor's ear that Alice was tainted and he nodded in understandment "I greatly appreciate what you did for me Alice, is there any way I could repay you?" Alice shook her head "I want nothing but you to be happy Lord Chaor" she said.
Meanwhile…
Lord Van Bloot and Atrapol returned upon not finding anything, Zamool told them what had happened "a human male with orange hair sprayed something in her face and she became tainted, I know there's nothing I can do to erase the taintedness" he said. Lord Van Bloot was angry, not at Zamool it wasn't his fault, but at Kaz for doing what he did. "They probably tainted her because she knows necromancy, they probably wanted to use her powers to resurrect Chaor" he said "we have to get her back!" he demanded and headed for the door "I'll go and get her back – you two keep and eye out in case anyone who isn't a friend gets in" he ordered and left. He scanned the surrounding areas for any signs of the tainted Alice, he found her in the Underworld City and swooped down in front of her – knowing what to expect. The tainted Alice lashed out at him, but he caught her arm and grabbed her tightly so she couldn't lash out or run off. He took her out of the city and into the desert area around it. He cast a mugic on her and she blinked a few times before her eyes returned to the green colour they were, signalling to him that she was no longer tainted.
"What happened?" she asked "you were tainted by one of Ulmar's chemicals, they used you for your powers and unfortunately they got you to resurrect Chaor and Agitos" Lord Van Bloot replied. Lord Van Bloot took Alice back to Gothos tower to relax after her tainted experience.
