Chapter 102 - Chapter 102 DIDNT KILL HER

"You see her soul?"

Apollo asked standing next to Asclepius, his hand lingered over Shai's heart, feeling the faint flutters of her heart. Apollo peered at Asclepius his eyes glowing with an emotion he wouldn't have thought to have with someone he had just met, concern maybe...but frightened, Apollo felt moved by his father's eyes, the underlying terrifying look in his eyes. It spoke about how rare and how much trouble they are in, how bad shape the holder is in. The gold and white circle around Shai glowed brighter. Asclepius scanned over Shais' twitching body, her hand moving with a mind of its own, some a faint flick of a trigger finger, she moved her head, whispering under her breath a plea, a warning to stay away from her, 

"Stay...away..." 

Shai croaked, feeling the flames burn her. Not her skin nor her tattered clothes. Shai shaked, feeling the burn from within her, Apollo moved his hand over her hand, hearing Asclepius staring to speak in Greek, a small incantation he would speak while helping the ill he deemed worthy to save. Like a childhood lyluby, Apollo glanced for a moment at him, his eyes holding a subtle warmth. Apollo looked away, feeling a sense of dread filling him as he concentrated his strength into the circle, helping Asclepius with the circle, making the strength and power move through it into Shai, Asclepius moved his hand to his staff, waving it slowly above her, 

"Mou Asklepieion emfanizomai brosta mou,"

Asclepius spoke in Greek, his hands glowing as he muttered, "Show yourself, my old place." 

He moved his hands, forming a large circle around the room his eyes blazing in a fiery glow, he felt his power surging through his hands, making him shine having moved it around the circle he made, it expanded changing the room. It moved shifting into an old temple, covered in green trees and a river that runs in front of it it moved around Shai, the soft wave didn't affect her. It didn't even drench her in the water, her hair moved with it with the faint bright glow from the burning circles under her made the water shine, Apollo scanned around the laid temple, it was Asclepius' temple. One of healing one that would be asked for in the last resort, Apollo moved his hand the flames under Shai grew. It made her glow her hair changed slightly a faint gold was coming from her hair, 

"Therapefste afto mikro einai theoreitai axios apo afto," 

Asclepius murmured over Shai her body didn't move the waves from the river stiffened as he spoke the wind hushed in the temple, the room under it had stilled, Shai lay dormant her breaths starting to become even, Apollo moved his shining hand touching her cheek softly,

"She's reacting so oddly," Apollo mumbled

He moved her chin and finding her still pale with a slight pink blush forming on her face, she hadn't moved in his grip as Apollo glanced at Asclepius, the glow from his eyes shifting as they stared at Shai, 

"Agreed this is odd, I've healed my fair share of humans, but her not reacting not even a flinch after is spoke, this is haven't seen before," 

Asclepius moved his hand over her having his circle glow brighter, he watched for anything, a flinch from her finger or her face moving from her having a dream, but nothing, Asclepius looked at Apollo, his eyes glazed over in confusion, 

"She's not reacting to us yet, she breathes? She's growing pink but lying still not moving..."

Apollo felt her move in his hand abruptly. She lunged forward her body shaking her hands grabbing onto the waves around her. The waves turned white and gold brushing off her, Shai opened her eyes flashing a dark gold while her gold hues darted around the room as her arm moved in the stream she pulled at anything and her body jolted up as she let out a pain whisper, 

"It wasn't me" 

Her pained whisper echoed through the room when she let out a painful cry, Ascelpius moved his hand to help Shai and phased his strength to her body, it started to work causing Shai to shake lashing out. Her arms moved pulling her up while her hair move around her in a gold glow as if she formed a halo over her head, Apollo held her arms keeping her from struggling he sees her staring back at him, her lips parted while the glow from her eyes cast a dark gold light on him, he felt her thrashing in his grasp, he tightens his hols leaning on to her. 

"Shai we know you're in immense pain. Torment, but this is to help you dear,"

Apollo spoke softly to her his face near hers when he saw a glimpse of her eyes. Broken. Her eyes appeared broken the color of her eyes broken showing the fright and pain in them to Apollo, he stops holding her and lets her lash out, moving her hand through the stream and clawing the rocks under her, Asclepius witnessed her agony. Moving his rod he used his power around the room making the circle around Shai expand around her appearing around the top half of her body, Shai let out a wail that echoed through the temple. It shaked as Shai felt like her body was being put back together, she moved her hand trying to get out of Apollos hold, she stared up at him her haunting, the gold glow worsened as she was able to pull her arm out of his grip, she grabbed onto the ground beside her feeling something that laid under it, it was a place and want to. She pulled at it feeling the pain strike her like a shock from a taser. 

"I...DIDN'T KILL HER!" 

Shai teared at the ground her face pure agony while trying to keep her gaze on Apollo, she held onto the rocks below her when her body lunged up from the pain in her body Apollo lost his grip from how drastic she lashed around in the water under the room beneath them, Asclepius walked closer to the his hand went to grab Apollo who lost his grip on Shai she thrashed around in the water her eyes flickering around the room there glow intensified. 

"We need to finish repairing her soul before she loses herself in the pain of her shattered soul," 

Apollo stood up with his hand reaching out to the circle he made expanded with Asclepius then burning around Shai like her stars and she was the sun in the middle, Apollo backed away standing beside Asclepius his hands reached out to the circle pushing his strength into the ring of power around her, it pulsed around Shai like his heart beat following it, 

"Good keep it strong around her, so she has to pull the pieces together," Asclepius guided him, when he did what Apollo had done, moving the ring around her, making it shake...He felt her soul shattering and broken, Asclepius shuddered feeling the dread coming from her as Shai let out a pained gasp, 

"Heliodi...didn't tear Apet. It was him"

To them, it was a fight gasp for air as she bent back her hair back in the water when she let out a pain cry, her veins shine abruptly it made the circles of fire around her look dim compared to her, Shai grits her teeth the pain going from a simmering burn to an agonizing inferno under her skin she felt her voice turn spotty as she fell back trashing in the water, the circle following her, Apollo and Asclepius held out there hand commanding the circle watching the gold glow from Shais hand moved to her arms, heading violently to her shoulder to them, it looked like a power moving up her body making her heal, the wounds on her side healed with her cut lip healing faster pale complexion with the slight hints of pink looked more alive than before. She looked alive with her veins burning with life giving strength to her cheeks as her gaze went to them her hand trembled in pain, she pointed at them her eyes showed her browns, 

"Look in the weapon, she lay in there." 

Her veins reached to her eyes as she let out a pain cry, leaning back in the water when she lay down, her eyes flickering around the temple. This wasn't where she was, Asclepius slowly walked to her and stood beside her, she looked at him, she was aware. 

"Shai...you don't feel broken anymore? It worked for only a small time if you let it," 

Shai limply moved her hand showing the glow from them, "I... feel my body? I think..inward is fixed..."

 

Shai moved up her gaze looking around her eyes still having that shine while she scanned over the temple, in awe she spoke so quietly that they couldn't hear her, 

"This isn't where I fainted...I'm not there either, I feel the bed under me," 

Shai turned to them her hair bouncing around her cradling around her face, with her eyes glowing softly, she saw them and muttered,

"Who are you both?"
