Jin frown as she said her mind.
"You may think you are thinking straight but death is a very real possibility. I am sure with proper purification you can reduce or even negate the build up of the bile in the future." Jin said as clearly as possible.
Celeron gulped at the thought. He was not sure if she was going to ask Jin to try again knowing how dangerous it was.

Azrael smiled and nodded to Miluiel. "Yes, I do think it is about time. Its impolite to leave a guest waiting too long." He said to her, smiling at his son in her arms. It seemed to him that he belonged there, at least for now. He gave a bow to Ursa. "I shall come myself to bring you to their wedding. And you when you get better you can come up and play with Shinn, young Anna." He said to them. "But we must be off for now. We shall see you soon, Ursa, Morte." He said with gestures of respect and turning into the direction of the village.
Shinn released a contented sigh and rested his head against Miluiel. The young cub was tired from his morning play and the excitement that had followed, but he would get to go hunting with his father on the way home, and would stay awake. He could take a nap when he got home.
Mazzia smiled as she reached her storage place, and proceeded to retrieve the waterskins. "I'm not surprised." She said pleasantly and looked up at Helena. "I think we've got enough for now. I have a feeling that we'll be needing plenty for today, but all we need are these for now." She said, with a knowing wink, having guessed her and Tanis's intentions.

Miluiel waved good-bye to their new friends. "Thank you for taking care of Shinn." she said called back with a smiled. She placed her hand on Shinn's back and rubbed his back soothingly. "Did you have fun with your friend?" she asked Shinn softly.

"Yeah! I had lots of fun! We played a bunch of games! It was weally weally fun!" Shinn exclaimed o Miluiel happily.
Azrael led them through the woods and sniffed a few times. "Hmmm... there are some good berries nearby." He said to them with a smile on his face.

“Try….again….with my healing powers….working at ….same time….” Shera was determined to end the poison in her body despite the dangers. She knew the risks and wasn’t going to take no for an answer as she looked at both Jin and Celeron with a look of determination.
Ursa bow gently before looking up at her husband whom had only just arrived to her side.
He had a smile on his face to see his lovely family. He was happy to see them alright.
Anna would wave them good bye as she buried her head in her mother’s chest.
Helena would help with the carrying of the skins. “You sure we need all of these? I thought we only needed enough for Tanis and I, not all of this unless you know something I don’t.”

"That is wonderful Shinn!" Miluiel cheered. She smiled at Azrael. "Did we bring that container for the berries? Do you smell anything you would be interested in?" She knew that the berries were not their choice of food, but she was thankful for them.

Jin sighed and nodded.
"We will need to make sure you can not move then. If my theory is right you are affected by a demonic disease. I don't know how an angel caught it but if I am right we can try to remove it through proper rituals. Mind you this is just a theory of mine after seeing wat I have seen." Jin said grimly. "If I am wrong then nothing might happen or if I am right it might destroy your internal organs. I think your body has been unconsciously healing itself as best it could."
Celeron's heart dropped. He looked over at poor Kayla who was standing there strangely calm as Jin explained what was happening. "If you still want to go through with this I will support your decision."

Shera looked at them as she nodded. She would be ready. “Let’s….do…this….” She looked at Celeron specifically as she reached out for him. Her hand was trying to grasp his just for support through this. Her other hand was also reaching out for Kayla’s. She knew she hurt her but not now. She was sane now.

Kayla begin to move forward but Jin interceded between them.
"Celeron you can stay but I don't think it is a good idea to let Kayla stay here. I can not guarantee her safety anymore then I can Shera's at this point." Jin said as he looked over at the the girl.
Celeron wasn't sure what Jin ment by that but perhaps the fact she seems to have been partially affected by the disease herself the process might affect her too.
"Come on Kayla. Let us go somewhere safe." Celeron said as he put his hand on her shoulder and escorted her out. She did not fuss or resist instead following Celeron's lead before he returned a few minutes later. In the mean time Jin had prepared himself for the final steps in the extraction.
Jin wiped his brow and said a few things that were barely audible as he took the brush he used to make the mantra earlier with. He dipped it in ink and began to scribble strange symbols upon her back. "Please remove the rest of her clothes. I need to cover her body with mystic symbols to force the evil in her to extract in the proper places of it might do serious damage."
Celeron didn't want to expose Shera before this man but knew if she was willing to chance her life a little dignity would not be as big a challenge or so Celeron thought as he continued to undress her.
As Celeron undressed her Jin continued to paint over her body until her entire back and bottom of her feet were covered with symbols. Jin was not his usual self as he continued to chant incoherently. After a few minutes to give the ink time to dry Shera was flipped over to expose her completely as Jin began drawing on her once more.
"How are you doing sweety." Celeron asked concerned and embarrassed for her. If this was not her wish he would have soundly shown Jin the fury of an angry partner.

Shera only showed signs of pain as she had closed her eyes from the severe pain. She had to focus and think. Her body was in turmoil as her healing powers began to activate. She felt them like a gentle light warding off the evil darkness that loomed in her own body as she could feel it trying to protrude out of her body already. Whatever the disease was, it did not like the ritual at all.
“I am fighting…to live for you and Kayla. I won’t die.” Shera gave a weak smile as she laid there though exposed her powers continued to show a weak glow as the poison began its spreading. She could feel it as she didn’t feel like she was going mad this time. She just felt intense pain an like she was going to be sick.
Shera didn’t like the feeling at all as she pleaded Celeron for Jin to hurry before the poison took full control again. She only had cognitive thought for so long. She could control her powers then an only then.
She knew that if she didn’t keep a control of her powers from then. She would be all but lost.

Jin finished with writing the strange characters and symbols over Shera's body. He took out a rope and tied Shera down so she could not move for the final part. The chanting Jin performed changed and Shera's body lurched. Her wings shuddered as they tried to strain against the tight ropes and agonizing pain shot through her body as something that had been a part of her for so long was being forced to leave. The once black character's on her body changed to blood red as the evil within her was forced to leave her. It was like a black cloud that flowed from Shera's mouth. Jin made some symbols with his hands as the demonic influence was forced out of Shera.
However before Jin could properly exorcise the the wretched thing his body suddenly stopped moving as though frozen and he collapsed to the ground. The black smoke made its escape toward the back where Kayla was hiding.
Celeron panicked. Kayla already got a touch of that thing. He didn't know what happened to Jin but Kayla was in danger. He slashed the ropes holding Shera down as he flew after the cloud. His sword slashed at it to no avail as the sword seemed to growl in frustration unable to kill it. It found Kayla as it swarmed to her.

Shera didn’t stir as she laid where she had been bound. Least at first, that was until her powers activated at full strength. It would be a powerful light strong enough to expel demon powers but at a price of consciousness for a time. Shera would have to give up waking up for a time if she was to succeed in protecting those she loved. Her body would float up almost like she was standing on what she was laid upon.
Her body remained in this position as her hands would come up at her sides. Her eyes would open as she looked upon Kayla with blood red eyes still, but they held a much more angelic look now. Her halberd was able to cut the demonic energy before it harmed Kayla too much. Her body flew towards the cloud stopping against the wall as she slashed at the cloud as the brilliant angelic light would protrude from her halberd to attack the cloud.
Her body then would collapse to the ground after slashing to at the cloud. The only prayer was that with the slashing of the cloud her angelic powers had done its job to save Kayla from the demonic poison that would have otherwise made Shera gone made and killed everyone. She had to pray it worked as her halberd would vanish from sight as she laid not far from Kayla and Celeron.

The cloud seemed to disperse as the flash of light cut through it and struck the opposite wall across from Shera. Celeron wanted to see both of them but Kayla was not moving so much as an inch save for her regular breathing. Celeron decided to check on Shera first to see how she was doing.

Shera didn’t stir immediately as she just laid there. Her eyes had to adjust to the returning they were undergoing. Her entire body for that matter as she finally began to awaken but not with blood red eyes, Shera’s eyes were platinum blue once again like her hair. She had to focus her eyes a moment as she looked at Celeron. “Celeron…Kayla is she okay?” Her voice came out weakly as she looked at him as she managed to sit up just barely before collapsing again to the ground. She had used up a lot of her energy and couldn’t really move.

Celeron looked over to Kayla and saw her standing there still. Her hair was still the off color it was before and her eyes did not seem to be turning any redder so he was hopeful.
"Yeah I think she is in shock though. A lot has been going on and I am sure we are all tired." Celeron said as he gently petted Shera's hair.
