He stood stock-still for multiple seconds, disbelieving what'd just happened. Then his ankles turned wobbly, and he collapsed to his knees, still in shock.

Then his aura broke, and blood dribbled onto the grass.

The pain hit-home. He didn't realise that He was screaming, Asper was too focused on the pain, the nerve baking poison coursing through his veins and arteries. He collapsed fully onto the ground, a shivering mess.

His eyes were a kaleidoscope of colours, yellow, blue, red. He could barely make out simple shapes through the pain, they were all fuzzy. Likewise, the sound of the Earth had been drained away, nothing left but a soul-rendering scream.

In the midst of his plight, someone forced a flask into his mouth, making him drink deeply. It tasted remotely of apples and alcohol, and had a thick, oozing, slimy texture to it. And quickly, his pain drained away, and his aura recharged, leaving him on the ground, gasping, face slick with sweat.

He looked up into Kinaver's worried face, and barely managed to give off a faint 'sorry'. The pain may have gone, but he sure wasn't fully recovered.

"We need to keep moving, don't worry about me, I'm okay"

He got up on somewhat shaky legs, and started to jog towards their destination.

Kinaver had rushed up immediately to Asper when he saw the devastation and brutality, something was horribly, horribly, wrong. Otherwise Amilanthior would have reacted to the deaths.

His suspicions were confirmed when Asper collapsed to his knees and he saw blood. And then all hell broke loose for him when Asoer started to scream, an inhuman sound, to say the least. It was like he was trying to shout out his voice cords.

He skidded to a stop near the writhing boy, and popped off the seal on a flask of something he'd bought at a pharmacy, it was said to heal aura recharging, and then he'd mixed it with some very potent antipoison.

Opening Asper's mouth, he poured the slimy stuff in. Within moments, he'd stopped screaming, and looked to be infinitely better. But when he stood up, Kinaver started having his doubts.

"Hey man, there's no need to be a lone wolf ya Know? Let me take a look at your arm, I'm no medic, but my sister taught me a couple of things."

After which, Asper looked good as new. Well...if you discounted the fact that he now had a bandage around his arm, and so they continued moving through the dense forest towards the North point, where their prize was waiting.
