Chapter 19
I dragged Siena through the woods back to camp as fast as I can. She is asking me what the problem is but I don''t have the time to explain. I am fairly certain that Mabel is about to kill Reid about now, it may even be too late
After getting back to camp I ask Long-fur if he had seen Mabel or Reid and he informed me that Reid just left with some ale to the river. After pointing us in the direction we quickly depart to the river.
I shoot off like a rocket leaving Siena behind. I must make it to him in time, I must prevent this from happening. With my low-light vision and moonlight I arrive at the river.
I am too late.
I look at Reid''s body laying on the river bank bleeding from his neck. Wait he''s still bleeding! I look at has status while I leap to him pulling out two high potion from my spacial ring. He is has under 100 health and losing it rapidly. I quickly pour one full potion all into his neck wound, I used my best potion of the four I made. I pour second down his throat. Surprisingly he still is conscious and paralyzed but I can see his eyes light up when I came to help him. I finally give him an antidote for the paralysis the health potions should heal him but if I can get rid of his paralysis I can stabilize him a lot quicker. I hear a noise I swiftly whip out my crossbow if Mabel is coming back to make sure Reid died I wont let her waste the 3 potions I used to save his life. Its not Mabel its just Siena.
“Oh my goodness Reid? Are you ok?” Siena was shocked at the scene with all the blood.
“I thought dark elves were supposedly very sneaky, you do not give credit to that rumor. I could have easily ambushed you if I was an enemy.” I tease Siena for being very load. I am somewhat serious we are walking a tight rope right now and need everyone to tread carefully. She however is a bit ignorant of the situation and I will let her off with only a tease.
“Ok Lara its time to tell me what is going on. I don''t know what to think anymore. You sleep walk far away, you wake up and rush to a bloody scene by a river. I am not going to take your traditional vague answers anymore. We are friends right? Friends don''t keep friends in the dark about things this important.” Siena rightfully wanted answers however at this time I can''t answer her all her questions
“Well what is going on is simple, we have been infiltrated by Eclipse and they have attempted to take out our main healer. I used some of my potion''s to save his life.” I explain the premise of the situation.
“Why would eclipse infiltrate us? To stop us for exploring the ruins?” I nod to her.
“So how did you know this was going to happen?” I suppose I will just tell her the truth not that it is believible to most.
“You may not believe this but I had a dream about this happening, and a lot of things happening after this.”
Siena''s expression quickly turned more serious then I have ever seen her. She got close up to me and looked me dead in the eyes.
“Lara if what you told me is true you must promise not to tell anyone else about it. People who possess physic powers are very sought after and are very valuable. They are so rare when people do discover one they often get roped into becoming someone''s seer forcibly. I don''t understand though, people with physic powers have no mana, you clearly have mana so how is it that you posses both?”
I was about to chalk it up to being Grena''s champion however I remember the dream vision skill wasn''t under Grena''s champion it was just alongside all my other skills.

“Tyr has sent an angel to his humble servant in his hour of need. Mabel almost killed me there. I however am afraid it is going to take me years to repay you for the potions you used to save me with. I will serve you dutifully to the best of my abilities until that my Lady.” He tried to kneel in front of me but he fell down the idiot just lost an insane amount of blood he needs to rest.

I finally finished the potion. I went and grabbed two mugs and filled one of them ale slipping my truth potion into one of them. I headed to Diana''s tent. I put on an actual pair of fake elf ears I had made by Zyra matching my skin color for situations with magical barriers such as this after having learned my lesson with the prince a few months ago. I knocked on the door and Diana came out and briefed me on what happened. Basically they had apprehended her after tricking her into entering the magical barrier afterwards they interrogated her accusing her of killing Reid and asking about her affiliation with Eclipse.
