45: Medical care/Stranded! Stranded!

[To follow what was said at the nearing end of the previous chapter ...]

No one else said anything, they were all too shocked at what Kiara was doing, that surprise strengthening when an entity line materialized that connected Eclipse and MA. Both entity halves cried out in pain when the line was cut, MA actually passing out from his already drained body not being able to handle such a violent action on his lifeline.

Poland and MC finally broke out of their daze and ran to the brothers as Mandara set MA down. They watched as a white line appeared from Luz and connected to MA's blue one before disappearing, but MA still didn't awaken.

Eclipse didn't seem as affected by the line severing, though his bat-like wings did start developing tears in the membrane. When he heard the spell he began to panic, "are you crazy, you'll kill us both, let go of me, LET GO OF ME!!!"

As he felt his body dematerializing, Eclipse felt something that he never felt before, something that he used to love making others feel; fear. As the seconds ticked down and he knew his time here was coming to an end, he looked to Mandara, his slit pupils grew wide and a single tear ran down his face. He stretched his disappearing arm out to the other like he was trying to reach him.

"BROTHER, PLEASE, HELP ME!!!"

Poldara closed the viewing portal as those last words spilled from Eclipse's mouth.

When Luz ran away to find Kiara, he took it upon himself to treat Cherry's wounds. He didn't use any more magic to heal her, number one because of Luz's warning that Cherry couldn't handle any more magic, and two because he gave away a lot of energy to save his friend and couldn't muster any more healing even if he tried.

After he finished tending to the teen, he was able to gather enough energy to open a one-way viewing portal to see what was going on. He couldn't believe what he watched, it was just so unreal, and he was so focused on it that he didn't realize that Cherry regained consciousness and was watching too.

C:

All was dark and warm as Cherry's eyelids slowly flung open. Numbness overcame his senses and he couldn't move nor do anything for a while. As his vision slowly cleared from the flickering black dots, he wheezed a breath. When oxygen entered the teenager's lungs it produced a burning sensation and he whined a little from the intense aching.

Still unable to move, he continued to lay down, his diaphragm lifted itself and went down with spasms. Cherry was unsure about what he was witnessing through the tiny fenestral portal. Poldara seemed deeply concentrated and so the teenager didn't disturb him until the viewing spell ceased operating.

-"..is ah real? Wh- w-why did ey go-o?" The teen uttered, eyes watering.

What was true at this point?

M:

Poldara jumped as Cherry started speaking, then rushed to his side, "easy, don't speak, you were dead a minute ago so you can't strain yourself."

Poldara grabbed another pillow and placed it under Cherry's head so he could breathe easier.

"I'm not entirely sure either, but I think Kiara did what Hatter did back on the battlefield. I recognized that spell from the vision I had when Hatter first disappeared and we had to go to the Eye of Ora to bring him back."

Poldara paused for a bit to check Cherry's blood pressure, he was training to become a field medic in his uncle's army before his accident so he knew how to do it without any equipment.
