The Priestess Of Rodona 100 Chapter 100

"Even the young priestess, can you do anything to help them? I feel the death around you. Isn't there any way to save them anymore? Please, I plead with you, and if there is anything that can be done to them, we will owe you all our life." The elder asked from Elvire beggingly. He was hoping that she could produce a miracle.

"Elder, there isn't anything I can do for them, other than take the pain away and send them to the journey for the unknown," Elvire replied softly and truthfully. She could clearly sense the deathly aura that was coming from the people that were lying at the tent.

"Their time has come up, and you have to let them go. They are suffering every day. Their life must be like h.e.l.l now as they have to suffer so much. Elder, you just have to let them go and free them from their torment." Elvire added, sounding more mature than her small frame would indicate.

She sounded like she would be in her twenties now, but at the same time, her body still belongs to a ten-year-old. Only Jaana noticed this small change, as she had been with Elvire a long time already.

"There really isn't anything that we can do for them? Other than ease the pain by killing them?" The elder didn't seem to believe it at all as he looked at Jaana and Elvire like they would be mad and lying to him. However, eventually, what Elvire had said slowly sank in. 

Finally, after releasing a heavy sigh, "You have to be adept with some poisons, right? Can… Can you mix something that would end it quickly and not be painful for them?" The elder said, his eyes glistering with unshed tears. 

However, he also seemed that he had already made up his decision after accepting that there wasn't anything that he could do any more than just let them go on their own journey. He also accepted the fact that he was causing his clansmen suffering if he would not let go.

"I will see what I can do. But we still have a wedding to attend, so do you want me to do it before or after that?" Jaana asked from the elder carefully. 

"I will personally feed them the poison, so… so... you don't have to take the blame for that.

Can you do it after the wedding? I still have to inform and talk with my clan as they still need to know. Those clansmen who are suffering, some being their husbands, wives, children, and parents. I have to speak with them before deciding anything. So I have to make sure they agree before doing it as I think they will want their own time before it." The elder said sorrowfully before leaving with them and seeing that the preparations for the wedding were almost finished.

"Elvire, can you take Mala to the altar, and I will bring Tam and Levin here to witness this day," Jaana said without even mentioning the sick again as she didn't want to upset the elder more than what was necessary.

"Yes, I will do that, mother," Elvire said before walking towards Mala. She then helped Mala walk towards the altar.

At the same time, Jaana had opened the church doors. She immediately saw her husband and Tam outside not far from the church, half wet from the weather but seemingly having a good time as there were few bottles between their legs.

"I hope that the husband isn't too drunk for the wedding as we are ready at the church.

You too, Levin, I asked you to discuss things through with him and not find alcohol to make him drunk. I don't even know where you got these drinks, so we have to have an educational talk at some point about your drinking habits." Jaana said, reprimanding. 

After she said that, only then, both of them realized that Jaana was watching them with a cold gaze, and they suddenly sobered up enough to answer.

"My dear, I was just giving more courage to the old Tam who was s.h.i.+vering and couldn't even utter a word. He was too shy, but now he is a chatterbox, I guarantee!" Levin said while trying to get up. Still, half of his world was spinning around, and his joints weren't working that well, so he collapsed towards Jaana, who was so annoyed, she avoided him and let him fall straight to the stairs.

"My dear, why didn't you catch me when I fell?" Levin asked, confusedly. The fall seemed to help him sobered somehow.  

With a snort, Jaana answered, "We will have a very educational talk later about this, my dear. But I really hope that Tam is in a better condition than you, or you will have to do a lot of explaining, my dear," Jaana said coldly, arms crossed over her chest while watching how Tam was trying to get up to the stairs.

Jaana didn't say anything further and just headed back inside. After a moment, she came out again and threw the rest of the water that was on the bucket at both of them sobering them up enough.

"Now, both of you get up and start moving to the church, and I mean now!" Jaana angrily yelled before going back inside. 

Tam and Levin looked at each other, and seeing their current drenched state; they didn't want to try their luck and just quietly followed Jaana inside of the church.
