Rose tried to fight the feeling of comfort as she hissed but couldn't as she slowly faded, lowering herself back to the ground. But as a last ditch effort to try and protect Polemos she covered him with her body.
Gelu was surprised by the actions Rose took in order to protect Polemos as she had never seen a beast do that, especially a centipede. But before she could take another step forward a fireball flew past her and hit the wall.
"Boom!"
"Now why would you go and do that my dear friend. We just got to see each other again after so long." Gelu spoke as she turned around and faced a furious and battle ready Secat.
"Friend? That's rich coming from you, Gelu or whatever you call yourself. That spell you just used was a creation of a close friend of mine before she died. So care to tell me just how you managed to learn it." Secat spoke as a pair of heavy gauntlets appeared on her hands, as a fierce and boiling heat spread from them.
"Didn't I answer that question before? This is a mausoleum my dear, Secat." Gelu smiled underneath her veil as Kazzy quickly jumped in front of her to defend her master. "Now, now Kazzy go and grab Polemos, I'll finish with my friend here soon. Run along."
"Awwwwww, I'm gonna miss out on all the fun. Oh well." Kazzy groaned before she started to skip over to Polemos while humming a cheerful tune.
When Secat saw Kazzy skipping over to Rose she lifted her lance of fire and readied it to throw at Kazzy but before she could get to a throwing position, a wall of ice obstructed her blocking Kazzy and giving her a way to reach and even leave with Polemos.
"Now, now, this is between me and you, my friend. Don't worry about my disciple, as it seems we have something to talk about while you vent." Gelu laughed slightly as she brought her hand to her face. "And I'll make sure no harm comes to Rose either, what would my disciple say if he heard that we caused harm to his partner?"
Secat frowned when she saw the wall of ice as Kazzy continued to skip towards Rose. She then looked at Gelu as she ignored Kazzy and absorbed the flaming lance into her gauntlets, increasing the strength of her technique. She didn't say anything as she vanished, appearing next to Gelu as her fist neared her face.
Gelu continued to smile as Secats fist ran right into her face!
But Secat frowned when she didn't get a response from hitting Gelus face, as she felt like she hit a soft mist. 'How, she didn't even cast a spell or anything, what did she do? And where did she go?' She thought as she got into a defensive position.
Secat got her answer quickly as she heard a soft and cold like laugh from behind her.
"Oh my, didn't I tell you that the difference between a Magician and a Temple Mage was vast." She continued to laugh silently while looking at the confused Secat. "Stop procrastinating Kazzy, take Polemos to the medical area, we might be a little longer than I previously mentioned." She said as she continued to watch Secat start to vanish and try her next attack all while sighing. "She'll persist until she's exhausted."
Kazzy didn't respond as she stopped watching the fight and lifted Rose so she could get the unconscious Polemos and take him to the medical area. When she lifted Rose she was able to spot Polemos and with one hand still lifting Rose she reached out and grabbed ahold of his ankle and started to drag him out from Rose's protection.
"Come along now Polemos, I gotta go and get you allllll, fixed up." Kazzy spoke in a cheerful voice. "Plus I have a feeling that we are gonna be very good friends and be very close. Just like the others." Her tone went a shade dark at the end, but Polemos couldn't hear her since he was unconscious and unaware of everything that was currently happening.
Kazzy now having grabbed Polemos ignored the fight that was happening behind the icy wall, even ignoring the rumbling it caused. She decided to hum a cheerful song as she started to take Polemos to the medical area. As she passed the door where Elder Bones was still slumped against the wall he trembled when he heard her so called cheerful humming.
'Why, why, why, why must she continue to haunt us all with that ghastly and terrifying humming.' He thought as he continued to tremble all while watching her drag an unconscious Polemos down the hall.
...…
In a large but clean white room with books and equipment that seemed to be doctor tools or torture tools. Polemos was laying in a giant pool of green glowing ghastly liquid naked. He wasn't the only one in the room as Kazzy stood near and over the pool as she continued to add certain and grotesque items into the green and ghastly looking liquid. She added in eyes the size of softballs into the liquid, blood of a Parasitic Desert Earthworm, and even a heart of a Blazing Horned Desert Lion.
Kazzy continued to hum her cheerful song all while adding in valuable ingredients to help increase and fix up Polemos who was resting inside the liquid. "Master said that I needed to take care of you and that I shall." She spoke while clapping her skeletal hands together while adding the last ingredient. "All done with that, now should I add in more or is this good enough." She looked at the slowly dissolving eyeballs and heart as she swayed back and forth thinking on what to do next.
"Oh I know I can add in the spine of that odd yet powerful desert lizard." Kazzy said as if a lightbulb went off in her head. She then proceeded to skip with glee out of the room leaving Polemos inside of the pool of liquid.
Polemos had already been resting in the pool filled with the glowing green and ghastly liquid for a little over a couple hours now. All but two of his previously fractured ribs were healed and his two broken ones have started to mend and fix, making Polemos's body twitch constantly. He was still unaware of what happened after Seact had knocked him unconscious as the only thing he heard before he was knocked out was that he also had a nice well toned and shaped behind.
His body continued to twitch all the while as the many softball sized eyeballs and heart of the Blazing Horned Desert Lion continued to dissolve in the liquid.
Kazzy returned shortly carrying the spine from that odd yet powerful desert lizard. The spine itself was about the size of the pool as it was huge. "This'll make you heal up even faster." Kazzy spoke in glee as she walked to the edge of the tub and was about to toss in the huge spine. But before she could toss it in she heard a questioning voice call out to her from behind.
"What are you doing with that spine Kazzy? You do realize that spine is from a Baron ranked beast right and you're using it on whom?" The voice was powerful but calm as it questioned just what Kazzy was doing.
Kazzy flinched, making the spine of the Baron ranked beast almost fall from her grasp as she turned around to face the individual who entered the medical area. He was wearing a dark grey robe that covered his face in a deep hood, while he hid his hands inside of the sleeves.
"Oh, just following the order of my master Gelu, and fixing up her disciple Polemos is all." She then raised the spine in her grasp. "She said to take good care of him and I'm doing just that, Sergezt. Why did you need the spine?"
Sergezt only shook his head as he replied. "No, I don't need the spine but do you think Gelu would be happy if she found the spine she was researching had just up and disappeared?" He spoke in a questioning tone as he glanced at the floating body of Polemos.
Kazzy only tilted her head in confusion as she replied. "I don't understand what you mean. My master told me to take care of her disciple and that's exactly what I'm doing."
Sergezt was about to reply before he noticed Polemos's fingers started to move or twitching as a low yet audible groan escaped his mouth. When he saw that he looked at Kazzy again before he turned around and left leaving behind a word of advice.
"Well it seems like you won't need to use the spine. He is awake, see you later Kazzy." He didn't even wave as he left.
Kazzy was confused by what he said, as she didn't hear Polemos groan as she was more focused on what she could do in order to fix up her newest best friend. She then turned around and was about to drop the spine into the liquid before she was finally able to notice Polemos's eyes struggling to open as a weak and tired voice escaped his mouth.
"Where…where am I? And how…how long was I out for?" Polemos groaned in pain as he felt that he was slowly being fried, while also feeling his bones being fixed and mended.
When Kazzy heard Polemos's question all while still holding the spine jumped up and down in joy as she answered. "You're awake, you're awake, yayyyyyyy!!!!! You're currently in the medical area, and I don't know how long you've been out but it's been awhile. But I still need to fix you up so hold still and try not to move."
Polemos was very confused but before he could do or say anything else he saw the individual before him drop the huge spine she was holding, into the green liquid as it splashed and floated in the liquid. Then when he saw and heard the spine starting to slowly dissolve he groaned in pain as the liquid splashed his face as he started to slowly fade into unconsciousness again.
