Lost in Histerianz

〚 IX 〛

So, I've met the Amethyst they were talking about. She's tall with black hair and purple ombre in the end. She wore a full body armor with a scar on her face holding a scythe.

"Who is this [y/n]?" the woman asked.

"I am [f/n] [l/n]." I replied shortly.

"Amethyst, you know... You've ignored [y/n] earlier and maybe she felt... I don't know..." Nova whispered something to Amethyst's ears and suddenly Amethyst stood up and walked towards me.

"I'm Amethyst. Amethyst Saunnierre. I'm sorry if I've ignored you earlier. I was just too worried for Nova."

I guess she said it because of Nova's whispers earlier. So, I replied.

"It's okay. You're the one who saved us. Thank you."

"Why did it suddenly fell down?" Nova asked.

Amethyst showed us a purple ball.

"Sleeping powder. Really effective for beasts and animals."

"Novaaa!!! Is that youuu???" we heard someone's shouted Nova's name from outside of the cave. It was a relief for us that it's Jilly.

"We heard a scream!! And it sounded like you, Nova!" they ran towards us as Kora shouted that.

"Oh wow. That's one nice beast." Apollo was still carrying Kora then he bend down to check if the beast still awakened.

"What happened!?" Kora asked.

"You guys okay, right?" Temi checked on Nova and I.

"Thank you, Tem. But I'm alright. Maybe you should check on Nova." I replied.

"It's just my clothes! Don't worry guys!" Nova tried to calm us with her smile and she showed us that she's okay.

Amethyst told us that when she was looking for gems, she heard a scream and an animal's bellow. She didn't realized that it's a beast before then she remembered that there's a beast that guard at the cave's entrance. So she ran towards the sound and threw the sleeping powder.

"That's much better than killing." suddenly Temi said it and pat Amethyst's back.

"You'll get mad again if I killed it. I know Nova's with you guys because she wouldn't went here on her own."

"Yea, thanks for understanding."

"Kiro has been poisoned! Could you please make the antidote?" Kora still looked panic.

Amethyst checked on Kiro's hand. And told us that he can be cured by the tears of a beast. Especially hoofed beast. Luckily, we have this Mr. Stag over there. Just make him cry *hoho*. And some crystal dust, few herbal leaves and he should be fine after that.

"Make Mr. Stag cry? How?" Nova asked us.

"Can a stag cry?" I asked confusedly.

"Uhh... Yes they can. Well, I don't know. Hurt him? I don't like that..." Temi replied.

"For Kiro!!!" Kora is now emotional because of her beloved brother.

"Tem, what should we do?" Apollo asked.

"Uh... Hurt him... Slowly." She felt bad to said that but indeed this is for Kiro or he'll die.

The other started to hurt the stag as it should while Temi and Nova can't bear to saw it. I can only looked at it. Triggered how the stag looked so in pain. And they did it! It cries. Amethyst took the tears, Apollo crushed the gems into dust and Jilly's back from collecting herbal herbs.
