Mournbringer felt the effects of the poison as well but did not succumb to it. "Little one do you have the skills to levitate Razor. Even if you can only make him a bit lighter I'll be able to drag him more easily" Mournbringer went to Razors side. He placed the swords in their scabbards and lifted Razor up with one arm over his shoulders. Turning to the fey he said: "Come little one we must reach the City of Aurius by nightfall. Let us hope Razors strong enough to resist the poison until then." Mournbringer weakly stumbled along carrying Razor with him.
"Wait, I might have a better solution." Xukh said, puting his hands out, closed them and lifted. A slab of rock lifted it was just large enough to hold them. He pulls the hood over his head. The rock hovered as Xukh jumps on, he then makes the glowing symbols. Two water horses step out of the lake, the step infront of the floating rock. Xukh sits down on the rock and grabs what look like then air. If anyone met him before though they would know better. "Well? Jump on."
"<span style='color:gray'>hello there razorback i see you are loosing your grip on your mind shall i take over</span>?" his evil side chuckled razorback knew all to well what would happen if it did "<span style='color:red'>NO I WILL NEVER LET YOU DO IT AGAIN!!!!!</span>" he yelled and was now fighting to stay in control of his mind and his body started to shake and convulse and it was at that moment that he regained Consciousness screaming "<span style='color:red'>NOOOOOOOOOOO....I WONT LET YOU WIN...I WONT LET YOU RUIN MY LIFE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!</span>" looking at mourn he then said "<span style='color:red'>if my eyes change to a red colour feel free to knock me out ok? i have an evil side and its not pretty either</span>" the poisons effect was less so he could talk now without rambling.
<table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>"NOOOOOOOOOOO....I WONT LET YOU WIN...I WONT LET YOU RUIN MY LIFE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!" "if my eyes change to a red colour feel free to knock me out ok? i have an evil side and its not pretty either" </td></tr></table> "Interesting... but nice to know your still alive. We're going to the city of Aurius for treatment. Our little friend was able to conjure up this chariot to get us there. Besisdes I can't let you die without settling my debt. You helped me with the serpents so the least I can do is make sure you don't die." Mournbringer pulled out four bundles. From one bundle he pulled a tail bulb from a swamp snapper. The bulb held a mild poison. Mournbringer carefully squeezed out four drops and replaced the bulb. From the second he pulled the small, vein thin roots of a murk creeper. Mournbringer used a morter and pestal to mix the poison and roots by grinding them together until they made a thin yellow brown paste. Once that was done he pulled a small tuft of thick, spongy moss from the final bundle. With the moss he absorbed the paste and then split it in two. From the last bundle he pulled out the fangs from the serpents he took two fangs and sqeezed out the poison into the morter he then added the roots and redid the process this time the paste from the serpent venom and roots changed to a thick green substance. Once again he used a small bundle of moss to absorb the paste. He took this bundle and wrapped it in a leaf to dry. Mournbringer took one the yellow stained moss bundles and chewed the first and offered the other to Razor. "Besides the head rush effects this drug slows the blood so the poison won't spill into your system unchecked. It also helps to build an overall tolerence to poisons. As you saw I made a bundle with the poison from the serpents but the effects have yet to be tested. For now just chew on this one. The effects won't be so harsh the second time around." Turning to the fey he said: "And thank you for your help as well without you we would be left in the wilderness to die a horrible death. Soon" looking to Razor "we'll be treated and free to do as we wish."
"Well, We will be there quick..." Said Xukh The horses pulled then raced out. He hope he will make it there before he exhaust himself. He had to be quick.
Razorback weakly took the moss bundle and put it in his mouth and began chewing slowly he could feel the mosses effects almost immediately "<span style='color:red'>woah man this stuff is potent whats in it</span>?" he asked before he felt his head getting lighter as the mosses stuff kicked in "<span style='color:red'>oh by the way those serpents have been attacking travelers for ages and i'd allways be there to lend a hand of course but i've never been bitten uptill now...today just wasn't my day was it? oh well...many pendragons and others have lost their lives to them even when i tried to help them....</span>" razorback sighed and was starting to cry "<span style='color:red'>if only id been faster maybe they'd still be alive today</span>" he sobbed "<span style='color:red'>it should have been me who should have died not them</span>" he said pulling out a knife and putting it to his throat "<span style='color:red'>please dont stop me mourn i can't take it anymore i can still see their faces..."</span>" Razorback prepared himself for the death that would sonn enbrace him as the knife touched his neck he saw all the faces of the people that he could not save and it made him think was this the right thing to do?

Mournbringer looked at Razor with a smirk on his face. Gently prying the knife from Razors hand he said: "Your fate isn't to be a hero. Help whoever you want but the price for heroism is glory and painful losses. Your not responsible for any lives that put themselves in dangers way. We all know the dangers of traveling out in the wild. Sometimes the wilderness takes life as payment. It's just something we all learn but whether you use that knowledge to your advantage or not is up to you." Mournbringer patted Razor on the shoulder. "Everyone has their time to die. Just or unjust it happens to us all." Looking to the fey he said: "We must hurry I can now feel the poisons effects. If I can feel them then that means Razor hasn't got much time."
"I going as fast as I can..." Came his only responce. They were getting closer though, once they get there though he was going to have to vanish, he long notice that fey cause to much of a uproar with the other breed.
When mourn pried the knife from his hand he just layed back down and cried even more "<span style='color:red'>i know what you mean by that and i thank you for not letting me take my own life but it's just not fair you know? it should have been me all those times and not them i also didnt tell you one of them was a small child...</span>". He then sighed before continuing "<span style='color:red'>it only took them two bites and the child was dead then they ate the child and was halfway across the lake at the time so yeah....</span>" he trailed off before crying more.
Mournbringer nodded sadly. He understood where Razor was coming from. He only hoped they'd reach the city before they both died.
"Once we get to a portal in east coast," Xukh looks at the sky, it getting darker. "I will have to leave you on your own, I'm not exactly allowed to come near the other's breed population." Xukh gives a smile. "We are almost there."
"Good" He watched as the horizon got bigger. He had the feeling that he was going to be alright but he wasn't to sure about Razor. He hoped they would make it in time.
Razorback was puzzled at the fey's words "<span style='color:red'>not allowed near other breeds? why wouldnt you be? i mean everyone has the right to go where they please...</span>" he said while shifting weight off his wound to get more comfortable. Turning his head to mourn he said ""<span style='color:red'>i can feel my sterngth leaving me which means i don't have long</span>" he then layed back down and just stared at the darkening sky.
Mournbringer nodded and smiled. "Thats all right because I can see the portal to the city we'll get us some type of medicine or treatment. Just don't go dieing on me now." Mournbringer watched as the fey picked up speed. "Thank you little one. I know you'll be leaving us soon so thanks for your help."
Xukh stops near the portal and nods to them, the slab of rock slowly falls, the water creatures turn back to water. " I'll have to take me leave now." even though he had a white cloak on he seem to quickly vanish into the shadows.
Mournbringer dragged Razor through the portal and ended up at the edge of the city. "You there!" Mournbringer called to a couple of passers-by "Help me with my friend. We have been poisoned and need an herbalists help." The passers-by quickly took up Razor and led the way to the herbalist. Mournbringer stepped into the shop. "My friend and I were attacked by some poisonous serpents by Magi Lake. I hope you will be able to help us, my friend especially, he has not alot of time left." The shop owner reassured him that he and Razor would be alright. The shop owner had, apparently, dealt with this type of venom before. Mournbringer waited while the shop owner perpared the anti-venom. When he was done the shop owner injected both Mournbringer and Razorback. Mournbringer waited and he slowly felt the anti-venom working through his veins. Looking to Razor he said: "We are going to survive my firend." Mournbringer smirked. He thought it was ironic he being an alchemist coming close to death by poison. He let out a soft chuckle and waited for his strength to return.
