Anemoia Echoes

Pain Alike (49)

Seeing that Dartz was hugging all over Rigel made Shaman jealous as she tried pulling on Dartz gently. "You going to hurt him if you're hugging him this hard." 

Rigel then said. "Don't worry about it, It's fine."

Then both Shaman and Dartz suddenly had a rush of memories that quickly faded away like waking up from a dream when Rigel mentioned those words. They went silent when they tried to figure out what was happening. It was so familiar yet so far, a voice similar and looked so familiar to what I was trying to remember but nothing but a blur of memories fades. 

Tiger and Deyla looked at each other and then at them while Consta was just watching them. Then Deyla asks. "What happens? You both just kinda stop for a couple of seconds."

Shaman scratched her head and looked at them. "Uh, I don't know why. I felt like I remember something but now I can't figure it out."

Rigel then spoke up. "Excuse me, but it seems Dartz isn't doing well."

Roz Asteri interject. "Indeed, she isn't doing well but I assumed you can fix her right up." Roz Asteri seems quite proper and isn't like before.

Dartz began to breathe a bit heavily as she got tired out a lot more since she had worsened. 

Consta then looks at Roz Asteri. "I thought a couple of days ago your little robot said she could recover if properly cared for."

Roz Asteri closes her eyes and sighs. "Well, that just means we haven't properly taken care of this Horizon Energy toxic usage. We don't have a lot of information on dealing with it and besides Rigel has all the tools to deal with it."

Dartz turn to look at Roz Asteri. "Are you asking he should heal me?"

Roz Asteri then nodded. "Indeed that is what I mean, well he will absorb it from you. It will be like that of the golden ornament you carried but this time he can absorb it directly from you unlike that of ornament which couldn't absorb the toxic effect of Horizon Energy since it isn't Horizon Energy but a byproduct of it.

Dartz shook her head. "Please don't do it... I don't want him." She began to feel better as she felt her back being touched.

Rigel was touching her back and her back there was a blue soft light of energy being active. He was drawing out her toxicity to Horizon Energy usage and held her close to him while healing her body. 

Dartz grabbed Rigel's arm which was healing her. "Why? Are you doing this?" She struggles to get his arm off of her. "Now that I finally felt all you have been experiencing. All the pain you have been putting yourself through!" She began to cry more and held her eyes at Rigel. "You have been hiding all your pain this time!"

Roz Asteri quickly looks at the rest of them and pushes them out of the room silently to give them time together. It seems very important to them to have their talks about what is happening." Then after pushing everyone out of the room and then she closed the door behind them and waited outside.

Rigel looked at her and resisted her attempts to stop him. "I know... I know that I have been suffering all this time when I was using the power that I was given. I assumed you found out that those who were not of Horizon would suffer after using the power directly."

Dartz grabbed Rigel by his hospital gown by the collar. "You crazy! Why could you go all this time not telling us? I hated it! I hate all those facts!" Her tears ran down her cheeks and held him tightly. "Rigel... I hated the fact we depended on you so much that you were suffering for us... I remember the day you were trying to hide your blood from me..." She hits his chest and then face implanted into his chest. "You know... how much I was in pain realizing that you have done so much for all of us at the cost... I cried on the inside every time I heard of your name after I betrayed you... Yet even now, You still trying to care for me..." Her cries were painful to hear and her heart torn. "The day I heard what Horizon Energy does to people... I realized that you were showing early signs back then... Always hiding your symptoms and acting tough... I can't believe you're an idiot..."
