Deity showed mercy upon them

Jerua saw that flute-thing in the hands of the girl. He snatched it from her and started its inspection. Both of them were quite interested in knowing what must be the purpose of this flute-like thing.

"Look there's a fluid coming out of it" the girl warned Jerua who, with his one eye shut and others looking into the cylindrical hollow-shaped flute, couldn't see it coming through and the fluid dropped over his face. His face started turning red.

"Oh my God, it's itching badly, it's so painful" he shrieked out loud. The girl became even more nervous. She cried out:

"Tell me what can I do to help you? This seems so bad"

Jerua was removing that itchy stuff from his face but it was so difficult to keep it from spreading over his face.

"Go to the east side of these woods, you would find the yellow Jewelweed. Bring it to me and rub it on my face...oh my God, this feels so traumatic." He kept on crying out loud.

It didn't take the girl any longer to go to the eastern side of the woods and bring an antidote to the poison, that accidently dropped over his face. She hurled towards the deep forest. She didn't even know if she could track her way back or not but she ran wildly. She was crossing the trees blindly as if she knew that at some certain point that herb would appear automatically before her sight. She was perplexed. After running a long distance, she just stopped and looked here and there. She luckily found the herb. It was golden in color as if it had been coated with the gold metal itself. She plucked it carefully. She thanked the deity for this act of mercy and went back to Jerua. She must have hurried otherwise that poison from the flute could've burnt the whole face of Jerua.

She went back. As soon as she came out of the woods, she shrieked out loud, "hold on, I'm coming to you big guy"

Jerua might have heard the voices but he was so busy with his pain that he couldn't let anything pass through his ear ways. She was coming nearer and nearer. When she got him, she rubbed that herbaceous root on his face. Soon his senses started coming back. There were tears in his eyes.

"Thank you stranger!" he said gratefully.

The girl blushed and hid her face under her hair. "No, it's no big deal," she said, "I think it was, for a stranger girl to take such a big risk, to go to the woods and bring an odd herb."

The girl did not reply to Jurua's complimentary arguments. He kept on saying something about how she had just saved his life and meanwhile, he forgot why she was here in the first place and how come he could not ask her name.
