Forging Ahead: Part 3

as i was jumping i saw one of the wolves leap at Rei. Still, I was too slow and the wolf bit into her leg causing blood to spurt everywhere, seconds later my dagger was embedded into the wolf's head, Kaito had taken care of the rest of the wolfs, and Rei was stuck laying on the ground "Do you know healing magic Kaito?" urgency in my voice he shook his head "Fuck, fuck, fuck" I slammed my fist into the ground "I only know of one person who could use healing magic and I doubt shes alive, but we need to try to find her or I doubt Rei will live" he had tears in his eyes. Still, he nodded and I ripped open my shirt and grabbed a nearby stick and made a tourniquet, and then me and Kaito helped her stand up "Kaito I don't think we can go much further and well need to leave someone behind to stay with her, I think you should since I know Lyra the best and I should be able to find her more easily then you" he nodded. We began a long journey back to the broken-down house from yesterday.

Hours later

we arrived back at the house, and we laid Rei down on the floor, we told her to sleep to try to conserve her strength, me and Kaito stepped outside "I need to leave immediately, Try to keep her fed and hydrated, I don't know exactly if your species can get sick or not but I'm guessing you can" he nodded and said "Please try to get back here with her as fast as possible" I nodded, and then I headed out to find Lyra, I followed the main road since Lyra would likely try to find a town, so I followed the road until I found where me ad Kaito first met, and I went back to their old village, as I approached what remained of the gates, I took a step into the ash of the town and, heard someone crying and I knew the sound of that cry it was Lyra, I searched around and heard her crys coming fro beneath a roof, so I found a support beam and lifted from there, I heard her crys temporarily stoped and she said "Thank you for saving me" she slowly crawled out from under the roof but something was extremely wrong with her because she had black hair and I think her eye color was also different, once she was fully out from under the house she said "You ook familiar did I know you?" I ran over to her and hugged her "Lyra What did Ezra do to you" Where she looked her stair just seemed blank.

"Activate Ability Soul Purge" a bright red light emitted from my hands and seconds later Lyra fell unconscious, I lifted her into my arms and carried her back to the highway, the sun was starting to set when Lyra woke up, breathing heavily "WHere am I" she was looking around extremely alert "Hey your fine Lyra, what do you remember" she calmed down quickly "Why am I in your arms?" I set her down and she nearly fell over but she grabbed my shoulder for support "Long story" we continued to walk and she began to say "the last thing I remember was leaving you to head back to that one village we had been at" I sighed "Well I guess ill need to tell you the long story, so after we separated I found this village and had been trying to earn my keep, when you and Ezra showed up and I said to let you and Ezra in since he had saved my life once, and he wanted to talk in private so I got him checked and his weapons removed and we talked when he started to sought nonsense about the shadows talking to him, and then there was a massive power spike from him and black tendrals and fire appeared around him and he tried to kill me" I exaled and we continued to walk when Lyra said "SO why did you come back for me and why is my hair black" I sighed and then said "I have no clue why your hair is black but my guess is it has to do with Ezra, and I came back for you because first off your my friend and second one of my other friends need healing magic" she sighed and said "I feel exhausted I don't know if ill be able to use it currently" I nodded and said "She isn't in immediate need but she needs It soon" Lyra was looking at me and she said "So whats this other girl to you" i looked at her confused as to how it was relevant "Shes the sister to the person who found me and brought me into there village" she pushed away from me and fell to the ground "Uh huh sure she is" she tried to get up but she couldn't "RIght now isn't the time for this, if we want to try to stop Ezra from attacking the other villages we will need all of the help from anyone we can get, so quit being jealus that your not my only friend" i extended my hand to try to help her up but she slapped it away "I don't need you help, you need mine" i sighed "Look Lyra i cant stand to lose anyone again, for awhile i thought you had died but i found you while searching through the ruble of the village, and no matter what i will always still care for you" she slowly got up and tried to walk on her own but fell to the ground again, i picked her up "We have a small suplie of food at the house we are staying at, if i can get us there before nightfalls completely then we should be fine" i began to run down the highway, i heard a ping and i knew i had completed my daily quest, after some time i heard the first howls of wolfs and ran faster then i had ever run before and it would have been faster but i was carrying Lyra which slowed me down a considerable amount, but nonetheless i reached the house and quickly brought her inside, and Kaito said "COmmon heal her quickly please" Lyra got out of my arms and her face was red, and she ran over to Rei and looked at the wound and said "It will take me awhile to heal her" he nodded and said "If there's anything i could get you just ask" she nodded and said "Some water" he quickly got the small jug of water we had and Lyra drank quite a bit and she began to heal Rei and then i said "Hey Kaito can we talk real quick upstairs" he looked confused but said "Sure" we walked upstairs and there was two skeletons on the bed but we didn't do anything about them "SO what did you want to talk about?" i told him of the events of how i found Lyra and somewhat about me getting this new ability "Intresting, so you're also blessed by and Elder God, but it doesn't like the other Elder Gods" i nodded "Also we need to keep an eye on Lyra, i don't know how much about her was affected by the other Elder God, before i got there" he nodded and we went back downstairs.
