Honey : The Empire's Treasure 106 Best Plan 2

Saavi, you need to stop being ashamed of your gifts. We wouldn't have been able to get in without them."

Mika said, seeing the chagrined expression on Saavi's face.

"I know, but you don't understand the feeling I get when I use these powers..." Saavi said as she walked behind Mika further into the room.

"What feelings?" Turning around, Mika looked at Saavi.

"I can feel the other person's attraction and need to please me, it's very disconcerting..." Saavi wanted to look everywhere except at Mika's face.

"But you like it." Saavi, who has been like an older sister to Mika from the time she was born, was always easy to read. Sometimes Mika would know Saavi's thought before she knew her own, and just like then she knows them now.

"No..."

"You like it, but you're frightened you like it too much," Mika said nonchalantly.

"Saavi, I'm sure my mother has already told you this, but I'll say it again for you in her place...If you don't learn to control it, it will control you." Turning away, Mika continued to walk.

"I know, young miss."

"You know, but you still don't practice. I'll let you know now, " Mika abruptly turned and faced Saavi, nearly making them crash into one another, "if you plan to stay by my side, you need to grow stronger." Saying her peace, Mika dropped the subject and turned back around to continue walking when she suddenly fell over.

"Young miss, are you okay?" Pulling Mika away from the body on the floor, Saavi gave Mika a once over to make sure she wasn't harmed in any way from the fall.

"Lord Tasar...?" Mika couldn't be sure, but she thinks she just tripped over Lord Tasar's body.

"....!?"

Both Saavi and Mika moved towards the body and flipped it over to see Lord Tasar's face covered in bruises and b.l.o.o.d.y cuts.

"Oh my.....!" Saavi gasped in horror.

Mika put her two fingers at his neck, checking for a pulse.

"He's still alive! Quickly, we must stop the bleeding..." Mika ran around the room, looking for anything that might be of use.

Opening drawers and cabinets, Mika searched it all. Finding only a small jar of honey and some spare clothing.

Saavi patted away as much blood as she could for Mika to pour the honey over the more severe cuts while leaving the smaller superficial cuts to be wrapped by Saavi using the spare clothes.

"Young miss, he still doesn't look so good, doesn't Lord Tasar have the healing ability? He should have been able to heal these cuts himself..." Saavi said looking over their finished work and Lord Tasar's pallid complexion.

"You're right, he should be able to fic himself...Let's search again for any clues to what might have happened here."

"En."

Scouring the room again, this time for clues, Saavi happens to kick a little gla.s.s bottle with her foot. Picking up the bottle, and giving it a swift sniff, Saavi stiffened before looking down at Lord Tasar.

"Young miss, I think I know what happened..."

"What is it? what did you find?" Mika started to panic as she looked at Saavi's troubled face.

Pa.s.sing the bottle over, Saavi watched Mika do the same thing she did, but still not understand what she was holding in her hands.

"What is this?"

"Jinx."

"Jinx?....Jinx!" Running back to Lord Tasar's side, Mika felt her heart thumping.

"What do we do!?" Saavi felt like crying, they could go out to seek help, but they didn't know who was a friend and who was a foe. And even if they were able to get the right people, they might blame them for poisoning Lord Tasar!

After all her powers were weak, she couldn't persuade that many people and her power would often wear off after asking one request. Like now, if they were to go back outside, she wouldn't be able the use her powers again on the guard.

Ugh! She truly regrets not practicing her gifts now!

"Saavi!...Don't panic, right now we need to do everything we can to save Lord Tasar's life, With him alive, we can stop Lady Vanya and the rest...." Though it might have seemed like she was talking to Saavi, she was really talking to herself.

"But miss, how can we save him? There is no healer here, nor is there a healing pod." Knowing that Saavi was right, Mika realized she was going to have to use her newly awakened gifts.

"...Saavi. Watch the door for any trouble that might come our way. I have a plan that might heal Lord Tasar."

"Young Miss?" Saavi couldn't understand how Mika could possibly heal Lord Tasar of Jinx, she wasn't a healer.

"Saavi, go. Please don't ask any more questions...Trust me."

Never seeing this serious side to her young miss before, Saavi decided she'll ask her questions later and ran to cover the door.

"Oh! And Saavi no matter what you hear, don't disturb me."

"....En."

Mika straightened out Tasar's body on the floor, careful not to agitate his cuts too much. Sitting in a meditative position, Mika relaxed her breathing and entered her mind s.p.a.ce, hoping to find Darko.

"Drako!..."

Drako!...."

"....Ugh! Draknos...."

"Here. How can I help you?"

"....." I swear this guy and his pet peeves.

"Drako, there is someone I need to save...I need you to guide me through the regrowth process..."

"No, it's too soon. Many things can go wrong."

"Didn't you hear me, it's an emergency! Someone's life is on the line!"

"If you perform this wrongly, that person's life might end."

"It's a chance I'm willing to take."

"...Fine. Prepare yourself."

Taking the same position meditative position only now in her mind s.p.a.ce, Mika closed her eyes.

Okay, Mika, you can do this. Everything will turn out fine. Once Lord Tasar wakes up, he'll be thankful and appreciative that you took this risk. Mika thought to herself, as she tried to relax her nerves.

"That is if you don't blow him to pieces first..." Drako remarked, popping Mika's bubble of rea.s.surance.

"d.a.m.nit! Drako!"

"What?... It's not good for a child to be too unrealistic..."
