"Praise the goddess that watches us all above!" Marie said with pure delight as she saw Xaden and the remaining men come in.
Xaden was groaning and struggling to come in.
"Is she still alive?" Xaden asked.
"Of course she is. If she was not you would be dead." Marie said looking him over. "What happened to you and-
Then she saw the markings on his body.
"Oh dear the infection is spreading all over you." She said as she traced the marking over his body. "Did you get it?"
Erik opened up the big satchel bag and handed her the diamond cup.
Marie wanted to burst into tears.
This was one of the three.
One of the most rarest relics to ever be found. And here she was holding it.
Other witches and wolves even those from her original realm had never had their hand on it.
Those older than her, but here she was with. She could not even believe her luck.
"Are you not supposed to administer it?" Loren asked and then Marie snapped back to reality.
"What? Huh? Yes of course." She said and then she set it on the table that was filled
With different options and herbs. "We just need to make a few mixtures before it works."
"I thought that it was the cup of life would it not be fine if you drank anything from it?" Lily asked already tired from the back and forth.
"Of course not!" Marie said. "Why would you think such a thing. The mixture would not take so long. Just a few minutes and it would be ready. I would also need help to
Make it faster. Lily help me with the brewing."
And then they went off to work.
Xaden staggered to Jasmine’s side and then he sat down on the bed and gently touched her hair.
He set her loose curls behind her ear and he could barely even feel how hot she was.
By now the marks he had had already extended to his face and was now on his entire body.
"You are still alive." He said and then he took her hands and kissed the knuckles. "I will make sure you you live. Nothing will happen to you. You will be protected and under my wing. No harm shall come to you. I wish I could apologize for all the awful things I did to you. Seeing you in such a state just tells me how important you are to me. I never want to lose you Jasmine."
"Why can the cup not just be used on Xaden?" Erik asked as he watched them work.
"Why? Did you try it?" Marie asked him.
"Yes we had hoped that him drinking from the cup would instantly heal the both of them." Erik said with a shrug.
"First of, a certain type of ancient juice must be made and then secondly you can not take it if you were the unaffected. It had to be Jasmine."
As she continued to work quickly against time, Loren went by and mistakenly touched the satchel.
The head of the creature that they had killed fell out.
"Sweet goddess!" He snapped in horror. "What is that bloody thing?"
"That is a creature we found on the outskirts of our pack." Rowan replied.
"Outskirts?" Loren said bewildered. "Such creatures should not even exist talk less of being in the outskirts of our pack."
"We found a cup of life did we not?" Owen asked exhausted as he sat down. "I believe in the impossible now."
"It is ready!" Marie announced triumphantly.
"How is she going to take it?" Lily asked the question everyone had in their head. freewebnoveℓ.com
