C297: Dwarfed

Saga groan from the pain. His body had a lot of scratch it may not be that deep but are massive. It damaged most of his front.

"You look pitiful at this state." Cherith said when he took a peek at his current situation.

"Yeah.. I did not feel it back then but it's itchy and sore." Saga replied.

"Ole's mother might have been conversing so that you won't notice the damage." Cherith stated.

"Now that you mention it she kept yanking me around like a toy." Saga professed as he squirm from the stingy effect.

"Patiently wipe it with warm water every after bath. Don't apply a solid soap. Herbal liquid one would be better." Selah adviced.

"Thank You Selah." Saga uttered in gratitude.

"Yep, it's mainly my task. I will go and check on Sycamore. Rest well." Selah politely exited.

Sycamore moaned and wail as the side of his face got treated.

"This is horrible thankfully she did not burn your face with her coal shoes." Fur commented.

"It was awful, I was too worried that she might kill Saga while I am on the run after her." Sycamore explained.

"I see, you did not need to hold back." Kahieli commented.

"I was cautious that I might not be able to rescue Saga. I did not hesitate it's just that she was stronger." Sycamore explained.

"Okay, stop talking. Stay still." Selah commanded.

"Yes ma'am." Sycamore replied.

"Why did she aim for Saga?" Nimrod asked.

"She kept asking if she was Ole's boyfriend since they were holding hands." Sycamore recited with his mouth slightly moving.

"Could it be that she is using Saga as a bait to lure Ole out?" Nimrod beamed.

"I don't think so, She appeared fully knowing that Ole is not with us." Sycamore reasoned out.

"From what I saw, that persona is a duplicate. If you look back before, Lehi can change her armour and weapon in no time but she can't even against my leaves and thorns. Plus she did not recognize me. She only knew that I am one of the triplets. Ole is right she is not Lehi."

Sycamore explained as his face got covered with bondage.

Agsus saw Saga eavesdropping from the side and silently approach him.

"What are you doing? Gossiping?" Agsus chaffed.

Saga almost yelp from surprise and halfhearted replied.

"No, I was just... standing.. here..."

"Come with me," Agsus invited to the back garden.

Saga obediently step after Agsus.

"You know what I used to feel like I don't belong here with them since I am ordinary. But Urchin one time scolded me for leaving the house without saying anything. His words back then encouraged me." Agsus started.

Saga averted his gaze.

"Don't feel down. Nobody sees you as a burden. If we do then there is no need to take you in. Once your in, then you are now a family. Is what Urchin said." Agsus recited.

Saga tighthened his jaw.

"I felt like the reason they got injured was my fault. I started to question if I belong here. I kinda felt bad for using them as a shield." Saga opened up.

"Dummy! If your a pain in the ass then there is no way that we will save you or protect you. Your not using us, we are doing it on our own." Ole blurted out as she bite her food.

"Oh, your here." Agsus stated.

"Yep, I did not know that you have that side Agsus. I know your sentimental but not this dramatic." Ole pointed as she share some burger.

Sycamore and Saga were absent for the day since their injuries are still healing. Ole strolled to the roof top when she heared the familiar noise.

"Cherith and Urchin. Let us head toward the roof. She is there." Ole informed.

The place was filled with oil particles. It was like a marbles bouncing on the air. Urchin and Cherith stride with Ole. Their purple and white uniform ascend toward the sky where the enemy awaits their arrival.

Cherith used his wings to blow out the oils all over the place. Urchin used his trance to protect them. When the smoke got cleared the same Lehi who attacked them appeared.

"I have been waiting for you Ole." She smiled with her arms opened.

"Who are you? Your not my mother!" Ole replied.

"How can you say that! How cold and heartless." Lehi commented.

"Stop using my mother's face. Better reveal yourself." Ole warned.

Lehi laughed victoriously.

"Ah, this is funny. Your right! I am the devil that went after your father's heart." she admitted.

Her facade fell off. It revealed a shadow with her face as sexy as a fashion model. Her body is made of bodily formed.

"I have your mother with me. She is a naughty one.That is why I needed to punish her." The woman screeched.

"Her scream and blood were sweet. But your father's heart did not contain you." The devil jived.

"And so what?" Ole smirked.

"Aren't you arrogant? Your mouth needs discipline." The devil roared.

She launched her real power of flash. Cherith spread his wings and enveloped them for protection. The woman sniffled when Cherith suddenly fell on the ground as he get electrified.

"Foolish human. Your body is a conductor of electricity." She hummed.

Urchin summoned his second hand and prayed.

"Our God who perceive the clean and unclean. May it be that it's defect be shown right before us. Help us not to allow some thing unauthorized by You to speak against us. Amen."

Urchin used his second hand to thrust the enemy but his attack pass through it's body.

"You can't touch me." the devil winked.

"Yeah but I don't dare to. Pause!" Urchin commanded.

The woman's time paused. Her body was like a portal that they can enter.

"Get inside it and look for Lehi. Don't take your time and make haste. She is contradicting my gift." Urchin instructed. Cherith and Ole jump inside to rescue Lehi but their path went awry when they found a bottomless pit.
