How To Unsummon A Demon Prince 2

"Granger it hurts! I'm go to die." 

"Just hold on Harith you'll be fine I brought someone here to help you." Granger reassured taking the small hand of the Leonin on his rough calloused ones. 

"I don't like her she's dangerous. She's scarry." Ruby ignored the Leonin and took out a book from her basket. 

"Based on the color of the venom its a kind of  Lamia lady cobra. A very lethal poisonous snake and your friend here is absolutely dead because your physicians did all the no no in snake bites. Tourniquet, ice, cut across the swelling area, exacerbating the problem." Ruby explained looking mildly amused and speaking as if life is not on the line. 

"Then you're no good at all! Do something you witch!" ordered Harley in a very exasperated voice. He's clearly been crying for hours now and his stupidly annoying face is making Ruby laugh. 

"Can you identify which snake bit him from this book?" Ruby turned the book towards Granger who pointed at a green snake with purple blotches bordered by black. 

"Okay, now everybody leave and let me work my magic. Don't worry it's not necromancy in case he dies since I didn't practice on that art but I'm going to need Granger to hold him down." Ruby ordered clapping her hands. 

"You bitch better not kill him or else I'm going to kill you." Harley threatened. 

"If I don't kill you first." retaliated the witch who directed him an evil smirk. 

"Lesley please take Harley out for a bit while I help Ruby with healing Harith." Granger requested. Ruby noticed the soft gaze the Marksman was directing towards Lesley making her scoff. The assassin complied and guided her brother out of the room leaving the three alone in the room. 

Ruby took a dagger and a vial containing a purple liquid from her basket. She bit the cork off of the container and made the marksman hold it. Ruby placed the dagger against her hand and split the skin open drawing out blood. She hissed a little before dropping her blood on the vial. The purple liquid turned gold and shimmered like sunshine when her blood mixed with the substance. 

Ruby twirled the tube and retrieved a big syringe from her basket. She pumped the liquid into the syringe and turned towards the marksman nodding for him to hold the humanoid feline down. Granger complied and grabbed Harith's limbs. 

"No! I don't want what that witch is doing Granger please stop her! Get away from me!" Harith trashed wildly but Granger held him steady, relentless at keeping him at bay. 

Ruby held her index finger out in front of the Leonin's face and purple butterflies made out of light suddenly appeared and fluttered in beautiful patterns. The wild look on Harith's eyes disappeared replaced by the blank look of someone under enchantment as he kept his gaze on the butterflies. The witch carefully stabbed the needle of the syringe into Harith's neck and emptied its contents. 

Seconds passed with nothing happening until he started convulsing. A loud scream left his lips as he shook in his chair. Granger looked at the witch with a betrayed look and held his friend's hand in a futile attempt to comfort him but Ruby only retained her passively calm composure. The door burst open and in came the magician crying and cursing. Ruby took the bucket and placed it near the foot of the Leonin. 

"What did you do? What did you do you bi-?" before Harley could complete his sentence, Harith pushed him away to puke a purple substance on the bucket spilling some to the magician as well.

"And now he's expelling all the poison out of his system while his blood gets purified." Ruby explained monotonously while applying sanitizer on her hand. "You're all welcome by the way."
