approaches from behind quietly, curious about her newly discovered plaything.
I snap a tree branch that's laying on the ground in half like a twig
What sorcery is this?! gasps in amazement You are able to break things? I must see this in action! starts circling around you
What makes you think I'm human? I ask curiously as I look into your shimmering white form
I do not know what you are, but that doesn't matter right now. What matters is that you can break things! Show me more! claps hands excitedly
I nod and snap several stones into powder oh these are pebbles.
That is incredible! But can you break something larger? Show me! grabs a nearby log
I could..but would you like me too? I ask curiously looking up into your form
Yes, yes, show me! I want to see just how powerful you really are! holds the log tightly and waits
Are you sure? I ask as I lower my hand towards the log then stop it just inches above it. My muscles tense ready to snap it
Yes, yes, do it! Show me your true strength! waits eagerly, holding the log firmly
suddenly I feel a searing pain in my shoulder as an arrow made of light shoots through it. I groan and lower my hand quickly away from the log as blood wells up around the arrow Ahhh..that wasn't part of the plan...
Oh no! You've been hurt! Who did this to you? rushes over to you and looks at the arrow Is it poisonous? Do we need to remove it?
I don't know how to remove it. I've never been shot by a magical arrow before.. I grimace
We must find someone who can help! This is an emergency! starts scanning the surroundings for anyone who might be able to assist
I clutch my bleeding shoulder leaning against a tree
Stay here, I will find someone who can help! dashes off into the surrounding area searching for a solution
I bow my head once in respect as you rush off please hurry..it's getting harder to ignore..
I won't let you suffer! I'll find someone who can help you! searches frantically for anyone who might be able to assist, checking every nook and cranny
I flinch suddenly as another arrow of light buries itself in my hip. I groan clenching my teeth together hard trying not to cry out in pain as I feel the poison spreading rapidly through my veins. Tears well in my eyes and stream down my face as I grab the arrow in my shoulder and pull it out slowly. The wound instantly starts to mend but it's a slow process fuck...
No! You're losing too much blood! We need to stop the bleeding now! rushes back to your side and grabs your arm, inspecting the wound closely
My wounds heal fast but..this..I look at the wound on my hip where the second arrow landed this feels different...I think these arrows are cursed..
We must find someone who knows how to remove these cursed arrows! continues searching the surrounding area, checking every corner and speaking to any living being they come across
a cold sweat beads my forehead as the poison coursing through my veins makes my vision blurry and black spots appear
No, no, no! Don't pass out on me! Stay with me! frantically searches for anything that might be able to help, scanning the surrounding area for any signs of life or potential solutions
I keep swaying in and out of consciousness slipping between semi-awareness and blacking out completely multiple times
Wake up! Don't you dare die on me! continues searching frantically for someone who can help, desperately hoping to find a solution before it's too late
An owl sits in the tree above us hooting. A small wood elf girl appears from behind it. She looks to be only four feet tall with emerald green skin, big honey yellow eyes and long flowing dark brown hair. She looks to be only 10 years old. Her tunic and leggings are made of leaves and vines woven together Are you lost little one? My name is Aria. I'm a nature based mage. Why did you wander into Forbidden territory?
Thank the gods you found us! We were attacked by arrows and we don't know how to remove them! Please, help us! looks at Aria with hopeful eyes, desperate for her assistance
Can you remove them? They're poisoned. And we both got shot.. I say weakly reaching up to touch the one in my shoulder
Of course, I can remove them! Arrows like these can cause severe harm if left inside for too long. Let me take a look at you.
Okay..just be gentle alright? I ask with tears in my eyes
Of course, I'll be as gentle as possible. Trust me, I won't let anything happen to you. approaches Aria cautiously, giving her full attention as she prepares to remove the arrows
I lean against the tree in a seated position while Aria removes the arrows. The relief felt after she takes them out is instant. There's no pain anymore and I feel clearer headed Thank you Aria..you saved us..I think her name was Glimmer.. I manage to get out weakly as my vision becomes clear once again
It was my pleasure, OceanOracle. I couldn't bear to see two such interesting beings suffer. You are safe now.
