Vespa backed away from Moxie letting the girl go as she did so.
"Then we should get going"
Vespa replied, Moxie gave a nod not speaking another word.
They both left the small room walking down the narrow hallway side by side.
Moxie felt a bright burn into her shoulder, a stinging sensation that stabbed into her like a deep dagger ripping into her flesh bleeding as deep as it could. The pain was nearly unbearable. It was sharp. It wasn't a blade however It was the mark she had she could feel.
Moxie fell onto her knees unable to continue walking as the pain slipped down her shoulder further and further sliding towards her entire body stinging everything, she fell numb as if she could not move and could not think something was consuming her perhaps.
Her arm the one that was now made of shadows and flesh was very erratic as it was only covered in cloth and small wrappings not having a fully metal piece to hide it Moxie had no idea what's happening to her but she tried to scream out but nothing left her lungs nor her vocals, Just a small faint whimper of air.
Vespa kneeled right by Moxie with a concerned look of visible confusion on her face as she wanted to make sure the child was okay.
"What's wrong, why did you drop down all of a sudden?"
Vespa asked, with a faint very faint scene of panic on her face.
"Everything hurts it Burns everything"
Moxie told the older woman.
"Okay let me see what I can do," Vespa said as she clapped her hands together with a sparkle of blue and purple energy coming off her hands "by the hands of Fate, the tears of reality show me what troubles this child," Vespa said as he places her hand on Moxie's head, a sparkling blue energy coming off both of them as she did so.
A popping sound could be heard That's the energy went erratic crashing around as memories and ideas could be seen vespa saw the deal that was made, but not just that everything during that event of course Vespa was concerned and going to worry about that later but there was something else, Vespa saw the wolf, she also saw The fact that her son did die but Moxie made a deal becoming a Divine chosen along with her son of course she would have to worry about that very soon but she kept digging deeper figuring out further what could be hurting this child.
The further and further Vespa went The more darkness she saw, she was horrified what she saw that she went even further a small child being raised by its mother and a father stolen, by a dark entity, no not stolen traded for something else a horrible, thing any parent should never do an offer of something grand, Moxie was apart of some deal however Vespa could not see who's Moxie's parents are.
But she continued to dig deeper, trying to further understand this child and what could be hurting her and as she continued, she started to understand what it might actually be she witness a creature of skulls and bones wrapped with clean flesh, and darkness with shadows wrapping into this creature some kind of entity stronger than any divine legend It was a being of reverse, It was an entity of difference that gladly gave anything for a child especially one like Moxie.
It tortured her day after day feeding on her energy but giving her power constantly abandoning her into the woods for her to fend for herself, she was forced to adapt forced to find a way to live but then again always being followed, the pain originated from a curse gave by the creature it dominated its control over Moxie however something has been slowly curing the curse and it appears today in this moment the creature managed to get a slight upper hand for a minute.
Vespa continues to look further into the mind of this child where she sees how the child escaped and odd individual a man helped her, a fisherman to be precise he could not care for a child however he had to hide her so for years Moxie suppressed her trauma as if nothing ever happened.
She lived and roamed around as far as she could until she saw a small child, she was young herself so she was nervous but she knew what she had to do Moxie took the child in as if it was her own brother and helped do the best she could to raise it, Even though it was hard Moxie found a way to survive, she had a troubling childhood but that didn't stop her she suppressed it and her inner darkness caving it into her heart for it was hidden.
Vespa wanted to continue but she could not tears pierced down her face like icicles breaking apart as Vespa simply could not hold it in she was heartbroken she could not believe she was even mean to this child once not knowing its story not knowing Moxie story, words could not even escape.
Vespa stood there silently as she just did not know how to react to the information she found. Luckily Moxie would not know about this Truth be told Vespa is probably not going to ever tell Moxie the Truth.
Vespa did not know what else to do besides hug Moxie. It was a tight hug, a motherly hug something Moxie has never felt in her entire life.
Upon awakening Moxie was dazed and confused wondering what was going on and why she was now being hugged however Vespa simply replied.
"I'm so sorry"
Moxie, just being a little confused, stood up, breaking away from the hug.
"Hey hey it's okay"
Moxie said, trying to collect her thoughts not understanding what just happened in the slightest.
"I think I know how to fix your pain"
Vespa told Moxie
"You figured out what was causing me pain?"
Moxie asked.
"Yes I did, unfortunately your cursed"
Vespa replied.
"Can it be cured?" Moxie asked.
"Yes I believe it's the same curse as my child So if we find a cure for her we can probably fix you as well"
Vespa told Moxie.
"Well that's wonderful then then we shouldn't worry about anything" Moxie replied.
"I mean…That's not totally true there's much to be worried about but I see what you're saying, with that being said, You still need to get dressed and cleaned" Vespa told Moxie.
Moxie had a sad look on her face as she was not truly willing to go through all these hoops but she said she would so she's going to.
