FOUR DAYS AFTER XADEN’S DEPATURE.
Marie carried the towel, dipped it into the ice-cold water, and squeezed it before handing it to Fiona.
"Here, take this," Marie said. "Press it over her head just as we have been doing."
Fiona nodded as she received it and raced toward where her friend Jasmine lay.
Fiona pressed it over Jasmine’s burning head.
"My Goddess," She exclaimed once she touched Jasmine’s forehead.
’"What is it?" Marie asked.
"She burns." She replied as she was terrified of touching her friend again. "Her entire body is burning like it is on fire. It is much worse than it was initially. Marie, who had been mixing some herbs, set it aside and checked on Jasmine.
Once she touched her forehead, her hand burned, and she withdrew her hand as quickly as Fiona had. "You see."
Marie looked down at Jasmine.
"She is fighting the poison in her system." She stated.
At that moment, Loren came rushing in. "I got the Lyrun herb. We can start making more potions that will stabilize her."
Loren stopped short when he saw both of them looking down haughtily on Jasmine.
"What is the matter? What is going on?" He asked, rushing to Jasmine’s side.
He was worried dead that she was dead. "Is she alive?"
He began to sweat.
"W-what?" Fiona said, snapping back to reality and then understanding what he had just said. "Dead? Did you say dead?"
"God, no. She is alive, still."
Loren breathed in a heavy sigh of relief.
"Thank the goddess." Then he turned his attention back to them as he dropped the Lyrun herb on the bedside table. "So what is wrong?"
"Her body is burning up, and if we are not careful, her organs will burn. Along too."
Loren frowned and went to touch her. "Are you not exaggerating a little bi-
As soon as he touched her skin, he yelped, and then he withdrew his hands away. "The Gods."
"She needs air. Cool air. I have seen rare cases like this. Her organs will go hot and burn up if we do not do anything." She said, and then she rushed to the windows and pushed the curtains open.
Luckily enough for them, it was night, so the weather was remarkable.
"We need to open everywhere, " she instructed. Her body temperature needs to be suppressed, " she said.
And then Fiona and Loren raced to open the curtains.
The room itself was beginning to get hot.
Soon, they were all sweating. "I will go request for some freezing water to be brought," Loren said as he raced out of the room.
Fiona kept trying to use the cold towel to bring down her temperature to no avail.
"She is not getting any better," Fiona remarked. "I think she is getting worse."
Jasmine was lying on the bed with no covers and only a simple night dress.
It seemed the night dress itself would begin to burn.
Loren opened the door, and some servants came rushing in with buckets of water.
They tried to use it on her again, all to no avail.
She seemed to be getting much worse.
Marie knew that her entire body would catch fire at this rate, but then, because she knew her true roots, she was aware of why she was so hot.
She was the true heir of the royal family. The red wolf that breathed dragon flames.
Her body itself was ejecting her attempted murder.
But it was something more.
Was it because of how much of her powers were unknown?
Or because of the prophecy?
Marie could not quite tell.
But what she knew and was sure of was the fact that if Jasmine’s body got to the point where she kept on getting hot, then not only would she burn, but the entire pack and castle would burn.
They will all die.
She could feel it because of how much the room itself was getting so hot.
She thought of what she could do. frёewebηovel.cѳm
This was spring, but it needed to be cold.
"I can do something." She said. "I am not so sure it would work."
"What is that?" Loren asked curiously.
