Chapter 110 - Medusa (2/2)

Theoric seeing her dilemma interjected- ”I may come up short compared to the gods you know, but I still have my unique talents if you would allow me to try and heal you.”

Medusa glanced dangerously at him, not appreciating the presence of a man in her vicinity- ”I don't know who you people are but you should leave while I allow it, consider it a favor for my mother and leave with your lives.” she then started to slither away again.

Anna- ”Don't just give up, we can help you, if not now then later surely, you don't need to just give up.”

Not hearing her stopping Theoric took one last shot- ”I can turn you human again, don't you want to even try? What do you have to lose?”

Medusa paused- ”Human?” she whispered as she looked down at her snake self.

Theoric hearing her knew he had her- ”Yes, I can likely turn you back if you allow me to try, then we can take you back to see your mother, don't you want to see your mother again? I think you've both been heartbroken long enough, allow us to help you.”

Medusa turned- ”Can you?”

Theoric puts his free hand out- ”Give me your hand and let me try, you have nothing to lose, I either can help you or I can't, there is no downside in letting me try.”

Medusa hesitated but ultimately gave in, she would do anything to go back to the life she had before all this.

Theoric removed the barrier around his hand, feeling her cold scaling skin- ”Alright give me a moment.” he said, calling upon his healing power as his hand lit up in white light.

Medusa tensed at first, but then relaxed feeling the warmth of his hand as it traveled from him to her.

Theoric concentrated as he tried fighting against the curse that was actively resisting his attempts to change her back.

Medusa frowned at seeing no change take place- ”Is something wrong?” she then sneered- ”I knew it was too good to be true.”

Theoric unperturbed stopped his healing, the light fading from his hand as Medusa swiftly took her hand back.

Medusa- ”Now that we're done with this foolishness, get out of my sight and don't come back on pain of death.” she said before slithering off again.

Anna squeezed Theoric's hand in concern- ”What now?”

Theoric called out- ”Perhaps you should look at your hand before you go.”

Medusa stopped again as she looked at her hand in shock, finding it was her normal human hand that she could barely remember without the reptilian skin covering it.

Medusa quickly slithered back and suddenly took Theoric by surprise as she tackled him in a hug,- ”Oh my god, you can do it, you can, please help me, please, I'll do anything to be able to go back.” she begged with watery eyes.

Anna feeling Theoric slip from her gasp panicked a little- ”Theo! are you okay?”

Theoric chuckled as he gently rubbed Medusa's back- ”There, there, everything is okay, but it won't be easy, the curse was created by a god after all, I'll need Sigyn's help to be able to do more.”

Medusa realizing how intimately she was clinging to a man, retreated as she apologized- ”Sorry for tackling you like that... So where is this Sigyn that we need?” she asked wiping her eyes.

Theoric- ”We left her back at the boat, we just have to head back and go get her.”

Medusa's face drained of color- ”The boat?”

Theoric could hear the fear in her voice- ”Yeah, you can wait here if you want.” he said remembering that it was Poseidon who harmed her first and caused all this.

Medusa clenched her fists, then looked down at the one that was healed and gathered her courage- ”I, I will go with you.” There was no way she was going to let her cure just walk away without her.

Anna smiled hearing everything going smoothly now- ”Great, let's go get you healed and back to your mother.”
