Chapter 33

Yasek starts crying and sobbing uncontrollably while gritting his teeth, Lillian steps closer to him.

" Yasek tell me why and help me make things right, I promise to stay and fight in the battle" Lillian said

Yasek looks up at her and shakes his head no then breathes in deeply trying to compose himself.

" Lillian go home do not stay, in a few days 60,000 soldiers will be at the mainland docks in then two days later another 15,000 will join them with 50 ships pulling barges to carry the soldiers to the island. They are all middle and high level knights, they promised me that Thea and Asandra will be spared and if you are here they'll kill you." Yasek said while crying, Lillian waves to the guards to chain him to the cot.

" bring blankets and a hot meal to him" Lillian said while she pulls Thea back out of the room.

"what numbers did Yao tell you about the number of soldiers and how far apart was they arrested." Lillian asked while looking around for Yao, then sees the doctor leave his office without Yao. Lillian looked at the numbers written down before while at the desk and some have been excluded like 60,000 troops instead of thirty.

" doctor where is the human" Lillian said while her eyes dart down the hall, he went up to talk to Asandra and why doesn't he have guards anymore ... the two meat heads said they'd be here for a while then borrowed money and never returned to pay me today ." the doctor said while looking at them in confusion, Theas eyes got big while Lillian pulled her wings out flying down the hall and up the stairs, she speeds through the hallway spotting Yao approaching Asandras office and he pulls out a dagger. Lillian flies faster tackling Yao before he could enter her office, he stabs Lillian in her side pushing the dagger to its hilt. Lillian takes her claws ripping out his throat then turns his head backwards to where his face is now facing backwards, his body drops to the floor.

A searing pain went through her body, when she pulls the knife out and tries to heal herself.

" it's not healing" Lillian said to herself, she raises her shirt seeing black veins going out from the stab wound slowly spreading. Asandra is running toward her, she catches Lillian before she falls down.

" what is happening Lillian, let me heal you" Asandra said then layed her hands over Lillians wound, but she stops her from trying and raises her shirt.

" get Carra and Yao he was going to kill you" Lillian said while closing her eyes, Thea and the guards run toward both women and one guard picks up Lillian taking her to the nearest bedroom which happens to be Asandras.

" Lay her down" Thea said while ripping Lillians shirt open, when she looks closer at the wound it was rising and falling like it was breathing.

"Go find Carra bring her here, Asandra stay with Lillian and I'll check the bastards pockets" Thea said kissing Lillians head then exiting the room, she found nothing in his pockets and picks up the dagger laying it on top of a piece of cloth carrying it to the office laying it on the desk. Tears flow down her cheeks and she tries to compose herself as she hears distraught women coming down the hallway. Thea exits the office following Carra and Evelyn into the bedroom, they both cry out.

" who done this" Carra asked while looking at the wound, when her face turned pale and she sits down on the bed holding her head.

" Carra what do we do, I'll help you with anything just tell us what to do" Evelyn said while holding Lillian, Carra shakes her head then pulled out a book flipping through the pages then looked back at the wound.

" hold on... bite this because this will hurt " Carra said pulling out a few different powdered ingredients the sprinkled them into the wound, when she done the third one was when Lillian's body started shaking while smoke rises from the wound.

Evelyn had Phelps go get cold water with a towel, she looked down to the wound that still has the black veins going across her abdomen.

Evelyn kisses Lillian's lips as Carra looked through several books now, she looked over at Lillian then kisses her cheek then looked at Asandra getting a idea using some of the golden moss to help keep the poison slowing down so they'll have more time or a part of her holes this will maybe heal the poison even though she knows better.

Asandra handed Carra a couple of books from the ones about spells for the royal family have access to along with a book for incantations along with a book for potions.

" Well we can use several things from the phoenixes to do a couple potions that'll prolong her life but not for long since this is the deadliest poison on our planet. The man who created this poison has never shared what truly is used only one can guess using their expertise and he might sell a formula to save her from the poison or we can find out what he's up to then use him for our side as well " Asandra said sending a letter off by magic as she walked over bending to kiss Lillians lips that felt like ice, she used a spell where water floats down going into her wound making Lillian shudder in pain while she screamed out with the girls restraining her.

Asandra withdrew her hand then cries while holding Lillian's hand, she looked over at the stacks of books they have read and about the prisoners she has... could she torture them to tell her something or would she waste her time since Yao is dead.
