Strena Attempts On Zaryb Arc Part Five

 The Fifth Attempt


Strena whole up. It was early in the morning, so early in fact that the sun had not yet come out on the horizon. She smiled nonchalantly as she stretched. She sat up and looked down to see Zaryb sleeping soundly beside her. She smiled as she outrushed her hand and a fire sprung from it. Her smile widened.

She looked at Zaryb again, before looking back. She moved throughout the forest, the bracelet around her wrist prevented her from going too far. She looked at it as her eyes rolled. She soon returned to the camp.

She took out a pot and poured water into it and started muttering something under her breath. She pricked her finger and a drop of blood fell into the potion. She then dropped a few herbs into the pot. Yet as she did the blood increased in the mixture. Then the potion started to stir on its own and as it did it increased the speed until it became a whirlpool in the center.

She then caught a rabbit and slit its throat. She turned it upside down. There she kept it until all the blood had drained. She then dropped it in. She soon boiled the liquid to a point that it was rapidly bubbling and the bubbles rapidly popped. The mixture turned red and then blue. She then turned the fire off and used her magic to make it cool to lukewarm. 

She took a spoon out and then clicked her fingers and the piton became as still as water on a windless day. She scooped some of the liquid up and carefully opened Zaryb's mouth. She then started to speak in the native tongue of the land.


"Let the hand of death come,

End this man's cruel sum,

Free him from his life,

End his long cruel strife!"


He groaned as he woke up. He looked up at her. He, without flinching, punched her in the jaw. He looked at the potion and lit a fire and kicked it into the flames. He then raced to her and hit her. She flew and he dashed after her and hit her again. She flew to the side and then punched her to the ground. He then went in for another punch but he was thrust back and hit the ground hard.

She sat up and spat out some blood.

"Yes. I figured out how to use her magic."

He then looked at her and placed his index finger on his lower lip. He saw the blue liquid and then put his fingers into his mouth. The next moment he threw up the blue liquid and spat out the rest of it. He then ran to the river and cleaned his hand and mouth.

He then looked back and ran to her. She outstretched her hand and fire flew out of her palm. He dodged out of the way and she moved her band to him. Spraying out more fire as he moved.  She outstretched the other one and sent another blast. He was soon hit.

He looked at her with the scary, wild look in his eyes. He threw his tiny daggers at her and she stopped dagger after dagger. He smiled and he threw more and more. Yet, as he did,  he came closer and closer and faster and faster than a normal human. She found it difficult to spray her fire at him, he was moving so fast.

He then punched her chin upwards before she could react. She flew in the air and smiled as she did. She then felt a kick in her spine and she was back in the air. She spun to look for him but she could not. Her eyes turned to the left and he thrust the heel of his hand into her side and she was dragged to the right. She then spun as she did. Her eyes darted to see where he was. Yet she saw the ground beneath her and she rolled to land safely.

She felt another punch and she rolled down. She found that she was sweating as she spat out more blood and noticed that there was blood pouring from her nose.

"Heh! Don't you care for the girl?"

"Zaryb does."

"Then convince him to give her to me. I won't kill her, don't you worry about that."

He stopped and then knelt. She smirked.

"What did you do?"

She let out a chuckle and looked at his vomit.

"It's an energy draining potion. You remember the one. I used to give it to you every night!"

He looked back at it and glared at her. He then dragged himself to his feet. He threw a dagger after dagger at her as he ran to the fire. She then clocked and the fire went out like a light. Yet the fire relit and he picked up a log. He then flung it at the vomit and it burst into flames.

He then turned back to her. He willed the fire to be blasted at her. She dodged out of the way and threw blue fire at him. She then ran to him, blasting him again and again and again. Barely giving him any time to breathe as she ran closer and closer to him. She then threw her closed first out and finally hit him. She then threw another and another until his face became bloody.

He grabbed her by the ankle and threw her away. She landed with a thud. He ran to her. He checked her pulse. He let out a sigh. He looked aside as he drew himself in and hugged his legs.
