Longing For Friendship

Elora was nervous as she saw her uncle asleep as she was helping Zeebad by adding herbs to the remedy he was making but wondered how he knew how to make this but had a feeling he learned it from the Land of Magical Springers as the icy blue skinned Magical Springer nodded softly.

She saw it was dawn and heard him yawn as she knew he needed to rest as he shook sleep off.

"I know you're trying to help him but you need sleep because without it, you won't be able to finish the remedy and Zebedee would be still sick." she said as he looked worried.

Everytime he slept, it wasn't good but this time could be different because Elora was here and she made him feel good about himself.

"I-I'll do it for you." he answered yawning.

She saw him fall asleep on the icy floor of his prison as Elora put a blanket over him as she went to work on the remedy as she knew this was the only way to help her uncle get better but noticed both him and Zeebad seemed peaceful in sleep.

"They must be having good dreams for once." she thought smiling.

She hoped this would work as it was time to add a little magic to it as she held both hands out in front of her as both her icy and fiery magic began to emit but was thinking good thoughts so it wouldn't hurt Zebedee or do something bad to him or change him.

The blasts then entered the vial as the mixture was now red and blue like Zeebad and her uncle.

"Please let this work!" she thought as she stirred it.

She hoped that her uncle would be okay as she needed to rest as she fell asleep as Zeebad woke up but saw sadness in her eyes knowing she was worried about Zebedee but knew the remedy would work as the both of them had made it together.

He knew how much she cared about the both of them.

Later after Zeebad and Elora were having breakfast as they saw Zebedee wake up as he was still weak and they decided to try and give him the remedy as he was coughing slightly as Zeebad felt sorry for him as he stroked the red skinned Magical Springer's messy black hair as he could feel the sweat from him as Elora could see the guilt in his dark eyes as she gave her uncle the remedy but hoped it would work as she needed him as well as Zeebad.

He then saw tears in Elora's eyes as he hugged her seeing sadness in his own eyes as he felt the need to cry himself as he remembered how Zebedee had brought him back from the spirit world as he sighed as he had a bad feeling as he felt Zebedee's head as the fever broke but he was relieved by that along with Elora as they hugged him but had no idea what the medicine had done to the red skinned Magical Springer in his personality and attitude but was nervous as they decided to bring him back to his home in the skies as he felt a little better as Zeebad had put him into bed and was tucking him in as he heard him moan weakly as he put a wet compress on his forehead as he was nervous as he hugged him but he still had a bad feeling as he saw him toss and turn but Zeebad felt Zebedee's magical aura begin to darken which made him worried but decided not to tell Elora yet until he got worse as she saw worry in her friend's dark eyes as they went to get a snack but in his mind, Zebedee was changing mentally and not himself which could worry Elora or endanger her and the Village.

He hoped that he could find a way to stop Zebedee from becoming as dark as he once was so that Elora could feel like she had a family as he understood but he needed to wait and see as he and Elora left for a little while.

Zeebad hoped his fears were wrong.

"Something's wrong, isn't there?" Elora asked him.

"I-I'm fine but worried about a friend.

I've a feeling that the medicine might have given him side effects to darken his magic and make him as dark as I used to be." he answered.

Elora then understood as he knew he was talking about Zebedee but knew he was worried about how this would affect her as she hugged him knowing this wasn't his fault as he knew only one way to help him, the diamonds.

"Are you sure you want to do this Zeebad?" she asked him.

"Yes I do because I know how much you care about Zebedee.

So I want to help." he answered as they left for the first diamond.

Zeebad then put a spell to keep Zebedee put until they got back....
