“Don’t act all strong in front of me lizard,” Vanessa said. She took a looked at the wound then pulled out various multi-colored potions from her pocket. One by one she applied them to the wound and with each one, the wound closed itself until it was fully healed. Once she was done she walked over to Alister and handed him a vile of blood and a syringe.

“You know what to do,” Vanessa said. She then turned back to look at Drake with narrowed eyes. “Oh really? I’m not afraid of a rabid and injured Plasma Dragon. I mean taking out a dragon isn’t even that hard. I knew this trader name Krushiva who sold me a counter fit amulet and all I have to say is that his blue scales made for a great coat. Now I shut up and let's go.”

Alister turned slightly pale at the thought of Vanessa fight Drake. He hadn’t realized how much he cared for him until the thought crossed his mind. “Vanessa please don’t,” Alister said. She only glared at him then started walking towards the cliff.

“Oh really? Sounds like someone in know. They always find them self in the worst of situations am I right?” Valeria said. She couldn’t count how many time she had to get Alister out of trouble. “Well, they are just kids. We were all like that once.”

“What an inefficient way to use a potion,” Vanessa stated. Alister glared at Vanessa before hurrying over to Drake. “Are you sure you can keep going?”

Vanessa rolled her eyes then grabbed Alister by the ear and pulled him to her level. “Really? Really? Are YOU can keep going? Because last time I’ve checked you lost more blood then you can handle, your body is still readjusting, and even if you tried, I dought you can use your powers right now. Have I taught you nothing you brainless muscle head? So are you sure you can keep going? And if you don’t answer me right now I will tare your fucking ear off!” Vanessa yelled.

“Y—Yes,” Alister winced in pain as Vanessa twisted his ear harder, “I—I can keep going.” She released his ear causing Al to jump a decent distance away. He was afraid that she would actually tare his ear off and he wasn't going to be able to stop her. She was the only person in the world that he was afraid of and she found it amusing

“Fine do whatever. I don’t care, but I’m coming with you and Al you are not allowed to fight because I can’t patch you up. So Weredragon get you ass over here so I can get a look at that wound,” she ordered. Alister looked at Drake with pleading eyes knowing what she was capable of.

“Oh god, he must be a hand full," Valeria said. She found it funny how most children are the same, always causing trouble and doing stupid things. Her face changed when Iye mentioned the Weredragon. She didn't like how Alister was getting attached and it annoyed her.

"So what's the story with Andrew and Drake. He seemed awfully attached to the Weredragon," Valeria asked.

I'm good with that.

Vanessa watched Drake and the hooded figure closely before turning back to Alister who was slowly awakening. He groaned and sat up from the ground. His vision was still blurry and his brain pounded against his head. Once his vision cleared he stared at Vanessa feeling defeated and angry. “Vanessa—I” he was interrupted when she slapped him across the face. She pinched the bridge of her nose then turn to the hooded figure.

“Who are you?” Vanessa said. she then noticed Drake’s wound and sigh. She dug through her pocket, her hand seeming to go deeper than it should, and pulled out a small vile with a silver color liquid.

“Here it should suppress the Phektox,” she said handed the hooded figure the small vile, “it’s made of Silver Wive from Tirnanog and enchanted with a spell that should cure any poison. Use it if you like I don’t care if you trust me or if the werebeast die.”

she then turned back to Alister making him flinch. “Now you. What were you thinking? Not taking your medicine? What would happen if I wasn’t around? We don’t need another incident like last time,” Vanessa said. Alister didn’t have the strength to argue, nor did he wanted to. `

“Thank you, Vanessa…” Alister whispered. Despite the intense pain, Alister stood up and walked over to drake. Vanessa cautiously followed behind him with her weapons at the ready. She didn't trust the werebeast or the hooded figure and she didn't like that Alister does.

“…how you holding up old man,” Alister said with a smirk. He could already feel his body returning to normal and his wound was nearly closed. He intended on continuing the mission and he hoped that Drake wouldn't.

Vanessa felt a sharp pain in her stomach but it quickly subsided. She sensed that Alister was in danger but she also sensed that Vanessa was with him. Everything was wrong and she didn't know why. Forces beyond her vision are at work and she didn't like it.

“So Iye. Got any fun story about Andrew,” Valeria asked trying to distract her self.

Blood Ties [1x1 Sporko and LaQue]

Oh okay. I’m good with that.

Blood Ties [1x1 Sporko and LaQue]

Question. What is Phektox?

Alister dodged the man's attack then slammed the hilt of his blade into his stomach. Moving past him, Alister lunged at the boy. He grabbed his weapon and fired a few shots but Alister easily dodged and counterattack, severing his arm. The boy screamed and thrashed against the floor clutching his bleeding wound.

From behind, a large stake pierced his shoulder. Pain radiated through his body but quickly passed as it was surpassed by his blood lust. His vision blurred and redden as he stared at the girl. He swung his blade, slitting the girl's throat. She dropped dead on the floor as he turned his attention to the leader who cowered on the floor.

Alister licked his lips as he walked towards the man. “NO NO PLEASE NO DON’T KILL ME!” He screamed.

Alister started at the man feeling no remorse. He held his blade ready to strike when a wave of dizziness washed over him. Pain surges through his head as he dropped to his knees screaming. “Kill…kill…kill,” those words echoed through his head like a deafening roar.

“NO,” Alister screamed as the pain intensified until he finally broke and his instinct took control. Without human conscious, his body moved to kill like a rabbit animal. He walked over to the leader who still begged for his life. With a devilish grin on his face, he pricked the man’s arm. He looked confused for a moment before agony filled his face as thousands of barbed spike exploded from his body. He then stood up to finish off the boy.

“Goodnight my troublesome little child,” Vanessa said appearing behind Alister. Before he could react, she forced his body to sleep. She caught him as he fell and laid him carefully on the ground. Once he was fully asleep she pulled out the stake in his shoulder and threw it aside. His face was filled with pain as his wound slowly starts to heal. Her heart broke watching him in that state but her magic couldn’t help him.

“Why are you such trouble,” she mumbled before turning to watch Drake and his attackers.

“I was only kiddin’. Well, he did get me killed but that was all in the past. Don't be too hard on him. He’s still figuring out the world,” Valeria said. She patted Andrew on the head with a caring smile then cleared her throat. “So why are we here exactly?”

Alister held his breath as Drake walked over to him. “Yeah just a short trek through the forest and we should be there,” Alister said. He didn’t bother saying anything else and started walking into the forest. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that someone was following them. There was more than one them and he could tell they were armatures at their job. Not wanting to take risks, he unsheathed his blade and coated it with his blood.

“Come out!” he yelled. As a response, an arrow flew from shadow but he was easily able to cut it in haft. “Stakes aren’t going to kill me so why don’t you come out?”

“Lookie here two living myth walking through the forest like its nothing. I guess they really don’t know who we are,” a voice said. Alister smiled as three-figure stepped out of the shadow. The man who spoke was a large burly male dressed in military gear. The girl on the right was short and skinny with long blond hair held together in a braid. She carried a crossbow and a pistol. The man on the right was tall and skinny with two Military & Police pistol at his side. Flanking them were two others that were hiding in some nearby brush.

“Who are you?” Alister asked.

“Hunters,” the leader said. As he finished his sentence he lunges at Alister with a knife in his hand. The two at his side also took a battle position. The other two that were hiding also reviled them self and engaged Drake.

Valeria shook the woman’s hand and introduced herself, “Valeria nice to meet you. And oh my god he’s been so much trouble. You couldn’t imagine that things he did. He broke into our room, he almost got me killed and so much more. If I were you I would punish him right now.” Valeria held back a giggle as she watched the woman’s response.

Once Alister was out of town, he slowed down and stopped by the side of the road. He hadn't noticed it before but something was following him. It was a familiar feeling but yet foreign like someone was trying to hide their presence but failing at doing so. He didn’t linger in it for long as he sensed Drake closing in and quickly continued down the road. He didn’t want to face him yet.

It didn't take long until he made it to the cliff area. As he thought, the forest was too thick for their bike to get through. He sighed then parked Rose near the main road but still hidden from any onlooker.

“I’m so pathetic,” Alister mumbled to himself as he packed his bag. Rose disagreed and bumped him in the side of the leg leaving a faint bruised. “What? you saw what happened! I barely manage to make sound,” Alister said. Rose didn't bother to respond and stayed dormant. Alister let out a sigh then turned to the road and waited to Drake.

Valeria sensed the woman coming and stepped away from the door just as she tacked Andrew. She couldn't keep but giggle as the woman squeezed the air out of Andrew. “I like her,” Valeria said smiling.

“It should be too long maybe 30 minutes or so. Once we reached the forest I don't think our bikes can make it through the trees so we might have to walk from the main road. Well, I rather risk my precious rose at least,” Alister chucked. Rose was the only companion what was always with him. Everyone else domes and goes as time passed.

“Anyway—-” Alister’s face turned a bright red when a hand forced him to look up. He stared into Drake’s golden eyes getting lost in the color. His heart started speeding as if it would it burst out of his chest at any moment. Shock painted his face as he tried to calmed himself. With his shaking hand, he grabbed Drake’s arm and forced it away.

“I—-I’m fine,” Alister said, “We should get going.” Alister escapes to his bike and rushed down the streets. He drove as fast as he could trying to getaway. His heart still raced in his chest as he tried to comprehend what happened. He felt defeated that someone like drake could have this kind of effect on him.

“Oh I’m sorry,” Valeria said. She knew it was like to lose people. Ten generations practically grew and died before her eyes. She dreaded what the future would bring but she held on to the present.

As they stepped through the gateway into the village, Valeria’s entire face lit up. She rarely got to see anything new which only added to her excitement. She quietly filled Andrew to the house while observing the areas.
