Ancient secrets told

Poisoned

Eron jumped to the sound of the thud and he saw Devon looking very pail and blood coughing out of his mouth. He ran over with Holm closely behind, "Deven!?" Eron called to him. His old medical training kicked in and he layed Devon to his side. The second let go, Devon vomited thick and deep black blood pooled out. (Shit! Shit! SHIT!) Eron cursed in his head, panicing on what to do. Eron looked around and saw the croud of many concerned faces and he ordered the closest soldier, "get a healer! U- Mal!". Eron remember Devon mentioned that Mal was the one that he trusted. The soldier nodded and ran off, King Aron, drunker then a hooker, stumbled in and his eyes flew open. "Whash dith hee eash?" King Aron slurred and he was far too drunk to speak.

"Umm... I- I don't know" Eron answered, pulling Devon's head into his chest and rubbed his back. He had thick blood oozing out of his mouth and his eyes were wide with terror. "Shhh" Eron tried to calm but then Devon coughed again and even more blood splattered out of his mouth and nose. Devon began to hyperventilate his breathing, his body began to shake and Eron could hear how fast his heart was beating. (Is he having a panic attack? That's not good! Where's Mal!?) Eron pulled him close, sitting him up and positioning his head so if he vomits again he won't choke on it. Eron was rubbing his back and Devon seemed to have calmed but then his body shook violently. Eron began to pat his back when he vomited more blood and his skin went paler then snow.

Devon collapsed in his arms and his breath was shallow, "Devon just hold on ok, Mal is on his way" he held onto him gently. Eron's mind raced, every thought went darker than the last, panicing to what is happening. Eron held him close, trying to give him his strength. "Where is the healer!?" Eron finally snapped, it was taking longer then it should. Devon's breathing went shallower then he exhaled. "D-Devon?" Eron stuttered, holding his hand on his pulse... nothing. "Devon!" Eron cried out, he allowed tears to fall but refused to make a sound with so many people watching. He flet a hand on his back, then he heard Holm's voice. "Hey it's gonna be ok... I mean he's immortal isn't he?" Even Holm's voice sounded unsure.

(Yes Holm's right) even in his head his voice couldn't hold. Eron held another tear fall from his cheek as he hugged Devon's body tighter, not wanting to let go. Eron felt Holm hug into him, King Aron even sitting down next to him. His expression alone sobered with the shock, King Aron's ally, lies dead in his soldiers arms. The Opul kingdom left without a king, no heir and only a boyfriend of their king. But more importantly, Eron left alone once again as his love is now gone in his arms. His blood soaking the gown that he wore. "What's happening?" Mal's voice called, the croud split to let him through.
"I... I don't know, he... h-he college and..." Eron couldn't contine and King Aron had to explain what happened to him. Mal turned to the blood and examined with his eyes narrowed.

"Mistletoe" Mal whispered, "what has mistletoe!?" He called.
"Mistletoe?" Eron echoed quietly, he turned to see a very small whiteish plant in the blood.
"It's a plant that can be used to heal but can easily be use to kill... it seems he took a lot" Mal frowned, "I'm sorry".
"Who poisoned him?!" Eron snapped, looking around. Just as Eron was about to jump up to find the sicko Devon gasped. He lunged forward and grabbed his neck, he turned to Eron and he saw overwhelming fear cloud them. Eron held him close and felt that Devon was shaking and breathing heavily. "Is... is it like that for you?" He chocked, stuttering.
"What did you see?" Eron asked, holding him close and keeping him up.

"It... i-" Devon stuttered, shuttering and his eyes went wide.
"Ok let's get you back to your chambers" Eron suggested, he turned to Mal.
"I got a stretcher" Mal nodded, pulling it out and settling Devon into it as he and Eron took up to his chambers. "First we need to get him cleaned up, he can get an infection" Eron nodded, held Devon to the bathroom.
"I got him for this, you can get what you need and come back once he's in his bed" Eron explained and Mal nodded. He left and Eron began to fill the bath with warm water and help Devon in. "It... it was cold, dark" Devon spoke, shakened as he spoke. "I was alone and... scared I just wanted you to be there but- but it was just so cold and weak. Then this bright light showed and it basically blinded me then I felt the pain again" Devon struggled to explain.
"I call it the void, it's where I go whenever I die" Eron explained, trying to get the dried blood out of his skin.
