Mira opened her eyes to see Prometheus sleeping on the chair beside her. A cold gust of wind passed her . She saw dew all over her bed .She looked in wonder at her bandaged arm's , then turned around to see Lillith on another bed beside her Nicolas sleeping beside her.
Then the letter crossed her mind ,she ravaged through her pockets and found it , in the process the fuss woke Prometheus.
"Hey, Nick am awake stop shaking me ", he said as he woke up.
He saw Mira with her hands behind her back.
"Oh, your awake", he said tears in his eyes .
He hugged her tightly while Mira tucked the letter into her back pocket.
"You are squeezing too much am injured remember", she said.
"Ahh, right ", he said as he let go of her.
"But it's good to know you care unlike someone!", she screamed.
Prometheus looked at Nicolas and rushed to him. He hit Nicolas hard on his back to wake him but instead found him self flying crashing into the wall.
"Oww, that hurt", Prometheus said.
"Skip the dramatics if you were that easy to hurt you would have quit, a long time ago plus I already told you not to do that ", said Nicolas as he walked over to Mira .
He sat down on the chair and looked at her closely.
"Hey, that's my chair ", spoke Prometheus as he stood up.
"Are you alright ? ", asked Nic.
"Yeah, but .." ,she said before an agonizing flood of pain hit her hands causing her to twist , curl and scream in the bed.
"Are you alright" ,spoke Prometheus as ahe rushed over .
Then Nicolas stopped him from touching her, they watched her twist and curl until she stopped and calmed down the bandages tore revealing her arms that were pitch black at that moment he new waht happened.
Prometheus swang a blade at Nicolas stopping right when the blade made contact with his neck .
"Why did you do this ", Prometheus said , his breath rushed and with a nervous look on his face..
"I didn't ", Nicolas responded bluntly.
"So your telling me she got death marks out of no where ", Prometheus replied.
"Ask her where she got them ", Nicolas responded bluntly.
"What do you guys mean by death mark's ?" , Mira asked.
"The use of Arkive weapons or a curse from Priest level Arkives or high can develop death marks ", Nicolas said.
"The mark's are pitch black and cover the cursed body ,draining their life ", followed Prometheus.
Mira was devastated she looked at her arms then started to cry.
"An Arkive weapons curse is easier to handle compared to intentional cursing from a person", Nicolas said.
"So I asked you when did they first appear they might give us a clue of what or who cursed you", Prometheus said as he withdrawel his blade.
"They appeared when I touched the spear in the Arsenal ", she said.
Nicolas shot an ice spike into her shoulder and she screamed.
"What did you do that for ? ", she asked with tears in her eyes .
"Curses work in a very strange way parts affected can only feel the pain from the curse ", he said as he stabbed her hands.
To her surprise she felt nothing as she looked at the blood flowing from her hand.
"We need to find that spear ", Prometheus said.
"What do you mean did someone steal it ? ", she asked .
"Do you know where it is ? ", asked Prometheus.
" Well I found it in the Arsenal so I thought it might belong to you guys ", she answered.
"No , I don't us a spear and Nic also doesn't...", he stopped and looked at Nicolas.
"The spear is yours Mira ", Nicolas said .
"What do you mean she doesn't have an Arkive... " , he said before looking at Nicolas.
"How much don't I know ", he asked Nicolas.
"Recently I found out that Mira comes from a clan of people with the Storm Arkive so I made her a weapon incase she accessed them ", he said .
"So the spare Vitus box wasn't spare ", Prometheus said.
"How long where you planning on not telling me ", Mira whispered under her breath.
"What ? ", asked Prometheus.
" I said how long where you planning on not telling me! " ,she screamed at the top of her lungs.
" I was planning to ", Nicolas responded.
"When , when am dead huh ! , huh" she screamed.
"No i was ", he said.
"You know all these years I thought, if I was a little stronger maybe I could help big bro , it tagged at me so much to think I would always have to be protected, that I would always be useless to you ", she said.
"In the end I guess I was really never part of the family, let me guess everyone knew except me right ", she said tears in her eyes.
"I didn't know ", Prometheus said.
"I was going to tell you soon after all I just received it too", Nicolas said.
"Who do you think I am huh! , who ! ", she screamed as she pulled out the letter and from her pocket and threw it at his face.
"This was written to you eight years ago! ", she said.
"If you want to go , go , I won't be stopping you " Nicolas said.
"Man what are you saying man , I think maybe we should all calm down and deal with the curse first then we can talk about this over dinner ", Prometheus requested.
"No we should settle this now..!", she said before Nicolas stabbed her neck with his finger .
A cold freezing feeling washed over her as she found her self in a snowy void looking above at storm clouds with a serpent like creature flying over her then it stopped and looked at her it . Cold piercing eyes looming over her in the dark clouds . Then she snapped out of it and touched her neck there was no wound. Then she looked at her hands and they were back to normal and infront of her there was Prometheus.
" Looks like it worked ", he said.
"Where is Nicolas? " she asked.
" He is not here anymore" , he said.
"So he left ", she said.
" Technically he was never here ", he replied.
"What do you mean, I sure I saw him ", she replied.
" That wasn't his real body , it was the puppet that was in the Arsenal, the real Nicolas is searching for who ever did this ", Prometheus said.
Mira stood up and was hit with a headache.
"Carefull you have just been marked , so your body is abnormally fatigued right now", he said .
Mira looked at the window and saw a snow flaje tattoo on her neck she rubbed it and continued walking to Lilliths bed.
"Is she okay ? ", she asked.
"The doctors said she will be fine she just needs a lot of rest ", he said.
"Prometheus am leaving", she said as she picked up the letter.
"Why don't you just stay ", he said.
"Because I can't, you see since I was young I always had these questions in my mind what was my mom like? , what was my dad like? , why did they leave me ? and now with this I can finally know ", she said .
"I understand, I will come with you", he said.
"No you need to stay I have to do this alone , I can't be needing your help forever", she said.
"But.." he said .
Mira kissed him and smiled .
"Trust me ", she said.
"I will ", he answered.
"Take care of Lillith for me ", she said.
"I will", he answered.
