Chapter 43: Chiselled Out
Ramah grunted when Maritha appeared in front of her paralysed. Gardenia caged them separately. When Urchin, Natalina,Lehi and Lila got back they held the most precious item for the two.
The tended human rib used as a bottle to preserve their poisonous perfume.
Aquila emerged with a crestfallen facade. "This is Raritha's rib bone. The scent and molding says it so.How could you do this to your own kin? "
Ramah just growled at Aquila.
"Fancy, coming from someone who called herself a friend but was never there for her. "
Aquila just nod at her and step outside of the chamber cell.
Lila came face to face with Ramah and softly asked for Hexel's cure. Ramah just scowled at her. Lila's eyes glittered and it became a scale of partially black tinted in ruby. Ramah felt her witch blood retreated. Ramah cut her finger nail and handed it to Lila.
"grind it before mixing it with organic soap, then rinse it with the perfume from the bones. "
Lila softly muttered a thank you and instructed Urchin to resume Maritha's time. Maritha shot a glare at Lehi. Ramah called for her attention and whispered a foreign language. Gardenia was able to catch it on and empowered the cage with her pearl.
"cwēn Izebhel descendere"- (Queen Jezebel's descendant is her)
Lehi and Natalina requested for Eyel and Mem to wash Hexel's body. The two also bask in a warm bath after the catfight they went through. Lehi and Natalina went back to Hexel's room. Natalina prayed for a grinder to powdered the nail.
"Our God who is the master of all piece. We humbly asked of your creative touch to provide us with a grinder that would purify the nail and poison that harmed our brother. We thank your healing and provision upon us. "
Her emerald became a small pot with wheel. Despite the strong vibration from within the nail the emerald pot extracted a toxic smoke from the nail. Lehi examined the oil mixed on the perfume and noticed that it's hagiographic. Lehi dipped her index finger on the perfume and prayed.
"Our God who is all seeing screen and purify the independent fluid that carries a venom, Turn it to your purpose and use it against those who planned to ensnare your child Hexel. I request this oil to scoop all that are a threath to his health . We thank your sanctification and cleansing. Amen. "
Her finger tips emitted some oil and spooned the violet pigment within the perfumes. Instead of blue violet the perfume outlined a oceanic oleaginous.
Natalina and Lehi did as Ramah instructed. Hexel's bruise and wounds got healed and the venom reciding on his neck overflowed like a water inside a blocked pipe. Hexel's breath became stable and his body regained it's natural color. His endless sweat dried out and for the last time, Mem and Eyel tended to soak him on a warm bath.
Kiel had some flashback of the woman hovering on top of him when the woman tried to unbuckle his belt. He screamed and arised from his bed. His vision caught Lila at the end of their bed combing her hair.
"What happened?" Kiel asked with a worried face.
"You don't remember? You and Ramah went inside her room." Lila answered as she got up and switch of the light.
"Lila, that was because she hath used a perfume with toxic effect. It's not like a I followed her intentionally. " Kiel explained with restlessness.
Lila just muttered a good night and was tired due to the kicking she recieved. Her jealousy made her actions lopsided. She could have been slant wise instead of being injuriously offensive.
Kiel percieved Lila's discouraged and tired gesture but something he cannot pinpoint bothers his instinct. When he take a peeked on Lila who just dozed off, He gently removed the blanket on his body and went outside their room. Luckily Natalina is having a tea while securing a tube contained with reddish-blue hue with moderate saturation.
"Hey Nata, I just want to ask what happened after the tunnel incident?"
Natalina smirked at him and answered with a cunning tone.
"Your pathetic Kiel. Lila just kick some sexy butt. "
After Natalina summarised what happened. Kiel slowly remove the devout and checked Lila's shoulder and back. There are some scrape and grazes. Kiel just racked his hair and head to their bathroom for a shower. He wanted to wash and clean the sensation left by Ramah. For some reason even the dream felt real.
Ophir saw the brown head stride him. He shook and struggled to push the woman away. When the woman leaned closer to his face, he screamed and started to vanquish the unknown woman striding him. When he came around the familiar scent of Lehi calmed his vigorous awakening. He can still feel the woman's hand over his chest. Ophir planted a soft kiss on Lehi's forehead and threw himself for a shower.
Ophir can't scrub or brush off the lingering touch of the alien woman. When he made his way through the hall he saw Natalina just returning from the King's palace. Ophir inquired about what happened and got reminded of Lehi's wound reacting.
Ophir and Natalina checked on Lehi's back and saw her wound lacerated. The shards of glass jaggedly damage her healing spine.
Natalina called for Eyel and Mem to inform the King. Natalina remembered the remnants of Hexel's potion. They waited for King Cyrus to arrive. Aquila came as well. When Natalina suggested about the left over of Ramah's nail. Aquila strongly disagreed. This wound is caused by a devil not of witch.
"Where is the venom encircled by her oil? And bring me something that was left from the devil who was trailing her. "
Cyrus whispered something on Gardenia's ear and she excused herself.
Natalina came back with Kiel who just got out of the shower. She handed the fluid protected by her emerald bowl. Gardenia came in holding a jar of white blood.
Aquila's gift is to utilise and access any properties that is not gaseous or solid. She can also visualise from holding the things both past and future of someone who owned the material .When she touched the white blood. Her expression changed it became gloomy yet she continued to do what should be done to aid Lehi. She carefully mixed the scooped venom with oil and white blood. She stirred it like a coffee and she hath squeezed minimal drop. She hath allowed the liquid cure to absorb Lehi's wounds till it vanished.
