Eve looked back at Anya. "A barrier?" she asked.
–
Meanwhile, Dowling and Silva's strengths were beginning to fade.
"Darling," Saul murmured, feeling Farah leaning heavily against his back. "Are you alright?"
"No," she replied, and he could hear the wear in her tone. As the Burned Ones surrounded them, snarling and growling, Saul slipped his hand into Farah's and squeezed.
"I love you," he murmured.
"I love you too."
" yeah, mom and dad really need it now eve.. wait for the signal " she said and got ready to attack " ready… now! " anya shot her explosions around a lot of the burns " eve now!" she yelled to the mind fairy
Eve extended her hands and channeled a flow of magic up from the ground to create a barrier around her parents while Anya went to work destroying the Burned Ones.
Farah and Saul's eyes went wide, and they watched as the Burned Ones shrieked and swung at Anya.
anya bounced back, taking them down and making them scurry back to forest. she dropped to her knees. " holly shit… sorry ma."
( me who littery got emotional for saul and farah)
(Haha same)
Eve let the temporary barrier drop and leaned against a tree, drained.
Saul ran to Eve while Farah knelt by Anya. "Are you alright?" she asked the girl worriedly.
" nope, but ill be okau.." she said and coughed
Farah looked hesitant to speak, but she nodded slowly. "Thank you," she whispered, looking past Anya to where the Burned Ones had fled.
anya coughed again, the smoke choking her out.
Farah scooped Anya up and carried her over to Saul and Eve. Seeing her partner in her mother's arms, Eve straightened up and reached for Anya's hand. "Anya?" she whispered.
" im fine.." she said and moved out of farahs arms, she laced their fingers together.
Eve wrapped her arms around Anya tightly and kissed her hair. "Don't scare me like that," she whispered.
anya coughed a bit more, leaning heavily into eve
Eve looked at Farah with worry in her eyes. "Can you fix her?" she asked quietly.
Farah glanced at Saul, who was already looking at her. They shared a hidden communication before Farah looked back at Eve and nodded.
anya looked around her " what do you mean.. fix me?"
Eve pulled back from the hug. "There's something not right with your magic, Anya. Coughing smoke isn't normal."
" its the way i was taught. she said every-" shed gone into another coughing fit. eventually it stopped " she said it was normal for so much heat.."
Eve's eyes shone with restricted tears. "Help her," she begged her mother.
Farah paced over and gave Anya a once over. "Alright. Hold still," she instructed Anya as her eyes closed.
"??" anya seemed extremely unsure, watching farah keenly. " th..this wont hurt right?" she looked to saul
Saul shook his head, but he looked unsure as well.
When Farah's eyes opened, they were glowing. She took a deep breath and used air fairy magic to draw the remaining smoke out of Anya's lungs.
anya coughed as the air rushed her, her eyes tearing up
Farah finished the job as the last puff of smoke exited Anya's mouth. "Breathe," she murmured.
Eve clutched Anya's hand tightly.
anya took deep breaths, her skin finally starting to cool down. " that.. hurt like hell ma." she huffed out.
Eve wanted to kiss her until she couldn't breathe. "But you feel better now, don't you?" she asked eagerly.
Dowling arched her eyebrows. "What did you call me?"
"yeah im fine love," she said to eve and smiled " what do yu mean?" she asked, looking to farah.
