Ayana kept up her efforts even if it felt like it was hopeless. The golden liquid seemed to fl[b]o[/b]w right around the cloth like it wasn’t even there. Sapphire eyes wide in surprise as she turned her gaze towards Shun as she was caught off guard by what she had just witnessed. Having watched in utter silence, as she couldn’t believe what she had seen. Not only had Shun stuck her finger into his wound, but she had tasted it. [color=f7941d]“Shun….?[/color]” was all that Ayana could muster up in her stupor, not knowing why Shun had done so.
[h1][/h1]
Stunned when Duncan pushed her aside in his current condition seconds later. Ayana was left to look at the cloth she had just been using to try to clot his golden blood. Much to her su[b]r[/b]prise there wasn’t a drop of it anywhere on it. Only her hands remained covered in the golden liquid as she turned them over. Stretching out her fingers as she turned them over in slight confusion. Not being able to comprehend it all at once.
[h1][/h1]
What came next confused her even more, Duncan had knelled over Sasuke and was dumping his golden blood into his mouth. It was surreal, there was no way Duncan should even be able to m[b]o[/b]ve, his pain should be immeasurable. But her mind couldn’t just focus on that fact alone, not only did Shun seem to have lost her mind, but Duncan as well. 
[h1][/h1]
Remaining on her sprawled out legs on the ground, she watched in a stunned silence as Duncan fed his blood to Sasuke. What words could she [b]s[/b]ay, what actions could she take. It was like she found herself in some dream. There was no way to explain any of it.
[h1][/h1]
At first it looked like it might be having some positive effect. Shortly replaced by [b]t[/b]he horrible consequences of their actions. Sapphire eyes widened in horror as she could do nothing more than watch Sasuke’s twisting and writhing form. The color of his skin, the convulsing, bones and joints cracking and grinding. Thick putrid black blood flowing from every orifice. It wasn’t a sight that would ever leave her mind. 
[h1][/h1]
She was left speechless, everything had happened so quickly, before she had time to even understand it all. To even say anything, or react, it [b]h[/b]ad all happened and she had been frozen in place. She couldn’t take her eyes off of Sasuke’s form, wide eyes unwavering. She instinctively reached up one of her golden soaked hands to her cheek. Only to look down at it, realizing she had tears streaming down her face. 
[h1][/h1]
Were they tears of fear? Of sadness? She did not know, she f[b]e[/b]lt empty, she felt like she was in a daze, one that didn’t seem to shake free from her mind. It was then and only then did it feel like something snapped in her mind. Something she had forgotten slowly trickled in as if a clarity had suddenly come over her. She understood something now, something about herself she had put away in her mind long ago. She went by a different name once, a different title, one she had intentionally thrown aside.
[h1][/h1]
But why was she remembering this now of all times? What good would it do her at this moment? Before she could realize what she was doing, her hand had slowly reached over and grabbed a nearby rock. She stared at it as didn’t understand her actions, it was like her body had instinctively reached for it. She clasped it tightly in her hand with gritted teeth before tucking it away within her clothing. She felt like it was important, like she needed to have it and keep it. Not understanding why a random rock held such importance.
[h1][/h1]
It was then and only then did she slowly rise to her feet as she pulled her left hand up towards her face. Staring at the remnants of the golden blood, why had it done such horrible things to Sasuke but not Shun? Why was Duncan still alive and able to move so freely? There was more to this, closing her eyes she began to bring the palm of her hand towards her mouth. 
[h1][/h1]
Without hesitation she gave it a small lick, a slight jolt trickling through her body, she understood. But why could she understand, why should she understand. Her mind felt so clear, her body so light, the activities around her no longer within her realm of notice.
