Demons Collide

Her head throbbed, and again she found herself cursing her ignorant decision not to take the herbal cure that the Covari queen had brought them. It had to be poison though- how else would she know the cure? Her eyes burned, and she shuffled further into her den, trying to hide from the brightly lit world outside. Her fever was back, stronger than it had been since the poison began, and she shivered. She was getting weaker, with each passing day- and with that, she grew afraid. She wasn't even laying on the soft mossy nest she had for herself, rather laying further back in the dug out set, as far away from the light as she could manage. A slow whine left her jaws, as she rubbed at her head weakly with her paws. She was going to die, and she knew it. The question was... how long would she be tortured before she gave into the demons that cheered from the shadows of her mind? What would happen to Tortuga without her? Would they disband, or would Qanik hold the small family together? Would they even miss her if she was gone? The seizures that had wracked her body had left her weaker than she had ever felt. She hadn't been able to make it out of her den the last couple of days, to get to a stream for water. She was thirsty, and her face was matted with dried blood. She was dying and she was hideous. It was an atrocity. The idea of the herbs dangled in her mind, but she shoved the thought away. She could fight this on her own.. couldn't she? Speech, |
