The Beast and the Sword Book 1: The Lost Heir

Page 40: No Retreat, No Surrender

She could feel everything cold around her, as the sound of water droplets around her. The vibrations of the ripples had moved throughout her body. She tried to move or at least try to change the position she had been laying in, but when she tried, she could feel a burning sensation go throughout as her fingers to her toes twitched ever so slightly.

"It hurts... Everything hurts..."

Her head had been throbbing--No pounding was more like it, like someone had been beating the inside of her brain with a pickaxe. Not to mention her chest had felt uncomfortable.

"... It hurts so much... It's even getting hard to breathe... Mom... Dad..."

Suddenly, she could hear something or rather someone... Speaking to her is what she assumed. The voice sounded comforting, though the voice didn't belong to her mother or father and yet she couldn't understand them. She tried her best to open her eyes, and though her vision had been a bit of a blur, she found herself laying back, as their lap had been a pillow, however she couldn't quite see their face..

"... Who... Who are you...?"

"Prism, wake up."

Prism let out a groan as she found herself staring at a set of familiar golden eyes; though she recognized them to belong to Yuno. It hadn't been long before she remembered where she was exactly when she noticed a familiar set of faces of the Golden Dawn. "We're almost to the treasure room." Yuno said, "Can you sit up?"

"I think." Prism replied after she coughed as she tried to but found herself groaning a little.Though thankfully, Brenin and Saorise helped her to sit up. "Try not to push yourself." Brenin said.

"Yeah... Thanks." Prism said before she noticed a few sets of people were missing, "Where are the others?"

"They went to help your comrade Luck." Morwyn said as Prism noticed that she had been dragging the basket along with Arfau's help, "Don't worry, they'll catch up to us."

"Luck?" Prism said before she recalled, "Oh yeah that's right... He did take off so suddenly. I hope he's okay."

Saorise couldn't help but giggle, "As always your concerned about others well being."

"That's the one thing that won't ever change about you." Liam said, "Not that I'm complaining though."

"I'm sure he'll be alright." Yuno reassured her, "He's a member of your squad isn't he?"

Arfau said as he looked exhausted, "Oh my bones..so...heavy."

"Suck it up dummy brother." Morwyn said, "You should feel honored that you're pulling a Princess."

Arfau couldn't help but yell, "YEAH I SHOULD, BUT I'M NOT JUST CARRYING HER I'M CARRYING HER AIDES!"

"HEY!" Liam yelled as he had a glare, making Arfau freeze and pale, "THAT'S FAMILIARS TO YOU! EITHER GET IT RIGHT OR DIE!"

"Whoa now Liam!" Saorise said as she started to calm him down, "You can't just say that now!"

"WHY THE HELL NOT?!" He yelled before Brenin bonked him on the head.

"Just calm down will you?" Brenin told him, "We got a sick girl here remember?" He soon tilted his head, "And us too I guess."

Liam let out a groan as he rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, yeah. I don't know how your dealing with this headache shortcake."
