Art opened the door slowly worried about what she would see when the door fully opened, she stood stiff as it opened, and she witnessed the scene in the room, Shai's gold. Her hair and eyes glowed like a beacon, a lighthouse on the shore in the middle of a fogy night, Shai's eyes land on her, Art watched Shai shake from the pain, holding onto Apollo and Asclepius tight. Art couldn't move in until she heard Shai's hoarse from the spell, the aching pain,
"Art, it's alright,"
Shai let go of Apollo and Asclepius even when her body told her to try it, and you will meet the floor, the burn when through her legs into her arms, it made her stall in her spot. Shai clenched her hand, moving it to her chest, holding the bandages tied over her wounds. She felt the old blood sticking to her hands, but her gaze stayed on Art. When she blurred arms held her close as she pulled into her chest, Shai's head on Art's shoulder hearing a soft hush coming from Art, her hand trembling held Shai's hair, feeling a shock from just touching her hair, Art held back a pained hiss as she brushed her hand through Shai's hair, Arts eyes flickered to Apollo and Asclepius, it her eyes widen she felt what they have felt. The power that poured out from Shai, like a river blocked with rocks, suddenly, one of them moved. It unleashed this unnatural force from her. Art looked to them her eyes filled with uncertainty as she held Shai closer, her hand clenching onto Shai's now golden locks, she mouthed to the both of them,
"She changed?"
Apollo froze when she asked that. He felt his body shake from the sight of her eyes, green, frightened for the life in her arms as she cradled Shai like a lifeline, Arts green iris shined like grass wet from dew, when a strike of lightning would appear, making the grass shine, he saw it all, the fright in her eyes with the relief that laid beneath it, Asclepius glanced at Apollo seeing him frozen, he touched his sending him out of it, Asclepius smiled at him for a moment and then looked at Art, he saw her, the trepidation. The relief but also the fear that resided under her facade. Asclepius took a step toward Art and Shai, he answered Art with a nod, a stern cut nod that sent a shiver down her body. Art held Shai tighter as she stared down at Shai, watching her shake from the pain of just standing there. Art moved taking her head, whispering with such reverence that it would make a lovesick person swoon.
"You..you became him, you have Dalos with you,"
Shai shook in Arts hug with her body feeling the effects from the spell felt worse then boiling water, metal what you can burn yourself with, Shai eyes open the haunting gold glow still there, looking up she sees Arts green eyes staring back at her, Arts gaze soften as Shai moved out of her hold but kept her hands on Arts arms, she held a faint smirk with a foand chuckle,
"So I took what he was before he could kill me, what a new season,"
Art stunned gaze over Shai, that's when she smiled, her heart sang, still hearing from the woman before her. She heard from the small girl that Art used to be annoyed with still stood there. Art murmured, "I see you're talking about anime again Eurus?"
"Sort of, it's more for the knowledge he gave me, but yeah, it was that,"
Shai let go of her and let her arms fall to the side the pain in her body has become. Shai flinched, feeling it pulsing, her whole body ached, screaming at her to rest. Shai peered at the gods around her when Art held her steady,
"Shai let's have you sit back down before the others want to see you,"
"They want to see me or do they want to know what I saw on that roof?"
Shai asked as Art helped her walk to her bed, Art felt the lingering power from the spell while helping her back on the bed. Shai felt another pair of hands help her onto the bed, she looked at Apollo and saw him glance at Art perturbed. Art nodded, sitting beside her her hand on Shai's arm, Apollo stood in front of her with Ascelpuse. Shai stared at the one at a time and then her soft voice filled the room,
"The others want to see me?"
"Yes, they do, im sure you have told Apollo and Ascepisu what happened on the roof however, we need to know as well,"
"Then they can tell you," Shai continued when Ascelipus cut her off, his stern, stickied expression even more pronounced.
"You will tell the that isn't for me or Apollo to say for you, unless you have no energy to tell them,"
"I see so if I faint right now I wouldn't have to tell them?"
Art held back I chuckled as she smiled, hearing the micheiiouse tone from Shai, Apollo didn't hold back a husky laugh came from his throat. He leaned back, letting Acslepius walk closer to them,
"Yes, but you haven't done that yet, young one,"
He observed her, seeing her holding onto the bed tightly, shaking Shai looked at him leaning down to her height, his eyes softened at her pain he laid a hand on hers helping her stop shaking.
"Do you need me to tell her Shai?" he watched her eyes glowing gold when he said her eyes, the browns gone but it looked glazed over, her hands fell limp when he caught her in his arms she had her head on his shoulder, she felt him holding her while Art's soft counseled voice cut through the haze,
"Ascepisus what's wrong with her i thought the spell was successful?"
"It was but her body is weak from her, even her soul quakes from the sheer force of what she's been through, from breaking to melding what was shattered, her body and mind need to rest, more than I thought beforehand,"
Asclepius with the help of Art laid Shai back on the bed seeing the faint shin of gold coming her fallen form, it matched her breathing as the three stood over her, Art moved placing a white thin blanket over Shais resting form, her hand brushed over Shais feeling her fingers twitching in is grasp, Apollo moved off the bed and stood beside her, his hand fleeting over hers, he peered at Art his gold gaze shining as he insisted,
"Good, I will tell the old guard to hold their questions and keep their patience"
"They won't be so easily put back. They want to know what has happened other than our hunches, they want the answer from her and so are the figures, they have stepped away from this hallway since she got here,"
Art watched them seeing that Asclepius took a step towards her a hand pressed on her shoulder, she moved his hand off her gently swiping it off her with her gaze narrowed at them, her green hues stricken with worry but skeptical, not of them but of what they had stumbled upon now.
"What happened on that roof?"
Art waited for their response with a feeling, a sinking one that made her body quake with dread that filled her very soul, she then saw Apollo and Asclepius give a slight glance at one another. One that they sent when they knew what others still can't find. Art had just found it, Dalos had made her take what Apet had done. What he has done, is leave the to see Shai standing breathing as their leader was taken hidden from them, he's made her the figure's enemy.
"It's what I feared," Art let out her hand falling away from them, her eyes now glowed a vibrant green as she stared at them, Asclepius leaned back letting Art move closer to them her voice harsh as she spoke,
"He made her there enemy placing her in what he and Apet have caused, they won't see her as what she was there holder,"
"But there executioner." Asclepius cut her off staring at Shai's prown body, seeing the faint glow coming from her, Art nods slightly her hands shaking slightly,
"They will never see her for what she did only that she has taken their leader leaving them without another to take Apet's place, they will only grow now aggravated, more violent,"
Art looked at Shai her hand touching her cheek, Shai moved from her grunting in pain, Art looked at Apollo and Ascelpius, "Let's leave her be, we need to tell them what has happened, to the roof and to the figures,"
Art felt Apollo placed his arm around her walking to the door, Asclepius glanced at Shai with a stern gleam in his eyes before he followed them out of the room, her eyes glistened over from the ordeal,
