Adventures in Felarya Chapter5

Adventures in Felarya Chapter5

The heavy storm had finally passed, but Crisis was too worried about Keiru to go out and hunt. Ever since his encounter with Vivian, Keiru's condtion had been getting worse. Breathing only made the pressure in his chest worse, and he would sometimes scream at night. Crisis had been guarding Keiru as if he was a delicate rose, and wouldn't allow anyone near him. Even Anna was concerned about his health. Anna could see that Crisis was tired, and that she hadn't eaten for a long period of time. She offered to watch Keiru so that Crisis could go eat and regain her strength. Crisis had declined these offers, and said that she was fine.

"Crisis! I'm back from my expedition!!"

A captivating voice had called out from the entrance of the caves, which caught the attention of Crisis. Léa could see the naga leaning over something, as if she was protecting it or examining it. This captured the atention of Léa, and she strolled over to see what Crisis was so interested in. Léa tilted her head when she saw the resting body of Keiru, and she looked up towards Crisis.

"is this your lunch Crisis? If it is, you must have not worked very hard to get him."

Léa softly kicked Keiru in his ribcage, which only caused a scream of pain to erupt from his lungs. Crisis immediately picked Keiru up, and she held him close to her face. Crisis then cooed softly to him, since this always calmed him down. Once Crisis had managed to stop his screaming, she looked down at Léa.

"Don't do that Léa! He's my new friend, and he's really hurt!"

Crisis lowered Keiru down so that Léa could see him, and she smiled.

"Isn't he cute?"

Léa looked over all of Keiru's features. She assumed he was human, and she then averted her gaze on his right arm. She had never seen anything like in all her life, and she softly grabbed his hand. On the outside, the skin like material was soft, but it was as hard as steel. Underneath it, his arm glowed a feint cyan. She lifted his hand, and she looked at the razor sharp claws on the end of each finger. Léa softly poked her finger against one of the claws, and a blood droplet formed on her fingertip.

Crisis' eyes saddened as she started speaking.

"I think some of his bones are broken, and I'm afraid that they wont heal right! Can you pleas help me make him better, Léa?!"

Léa almost started crying as Crisis became saddened. She never liked to see Crisis sad, because then it only made her sad.

"Of course I'll help you Crisis! If he's your friend, then he's a friend of mine, too!"

Léa had been softly stroking Keiru's cheek as she spoke, and she brushed away his snow-white hair away from his eyes. Crisis giggled with joy, and Léa crawled into the palm of her giant hand, and sat herself next to Keiru. The day was cloudy, but it was still fair weather. They didn't know it, but Keiru could tell that an ominous wind was blowing through Felarya. On which it travelled was the power of an ancient demon; a demon with the same powers as Keiru.
