Before The Storm..

Chapter 16

Recap:

“Mildred, look up that spell on the data base and tell me what it does.” Joshua ordered. Mildred instantly complied and on one of the screens the description of the spell appeared.

“It’s a healing spell, it specializes in cleansing blood from any poison, if casted correctly it can also protect the one receiving the spell as long as the caster is alive.” Mildred spoke. Joshua was still having a hard time believing the facts, but it seemed that not all spell casters were extinct after all.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Lucienne laid Jason flat on his back as Zoey made his head rest comfortably on her legs. After making sure Jason was as comfortable as he was going to get given his state, Zoey couldn’t help but cringe at his deathly pale face and at the shallow and painful way he had started breathing.

“What do we do?” Zoey say starting to panic.

“First we have to concentrate on getting rid of the poison and any infection in his system and then we can move on to closing this wound.” Lucienne replied motioning for Zoey to take her hands.

“How do you know if we can pull this off?” Zoey asked with tears in her eyes as she took her best friend’s hands and gazed down at the injured boy.

“I don’t.” Lucienne replied with brutal honesty. “But I have this feeling in my gut that says we have to try this. Brain said we were spell casters so let’s cast a spell.” Lucienne said with more conviction than she felt as she closed her eyes and concentrated. For a second nothing happened and both girls started to feel discouraged until they heard a mechanical voice echo thru out the battle zone.

_--_ SPELLCASTER’S CONFIRMED_--_

Lucienne opened her eyes as she felt the now familiar brush of power against her skin. Under Zoey the same magical circle from before had appeared. A similar one had also appeared under Lucienne but instead of being an electric gold it was the color of obsidian with little navy colored streaks passing thru it. It too had archaic symbols, interlacing themselves in to an ancient song but the archaic symbol that dominated in the center of it all was the astronomical symbol of the moon. Thanks to their closeness the circles were overlapping and where they touched they changed in to a kaleidoscope of colors. Thru all of this Zoey hadn’t opened her eyes, her face still scrunched in concentration.

“Remember, we have to expel the poison before me close the wound or he will never heal.” Zoey said.

_--_INCANTATION NOT REQUIRED, INITIATE ISIS SALVATION_--_The mechanical voice announced as both girls were sucked in to the spell they had created.

Lucienne panicked for a moment not understanding what was happening around her until all of those biology lectures kicked in and she realized with detached horror that she could see inside Jason’s body or at least all of the veins and arteries that snaked thru it as well as were the wound was. Soon she realized the problem; in between all of his blood cells they were little green particles so she went on her instinct and slowly started to make the poison flow out thru Jason’s leg wound. As soon as that was done Lucienne opened her eyes as the feeling of power subdued, but Zoey was still in trance and a second later the blood stopped flowing.

_--_ ISIS SALVATION SUCCESFULL_--_ 

Zoey opened her eyes and both girls watched as Jason’s color returned and his breathing turned back to normal. Now instead of looking as he was dying he just looked like he had gone to sleep.
