9 Forbidden Poisons (1/2)

He went reluctantly, looking for an opportunity to escape into the forest. But he could not find his escape. An escape he definitely could not make when they reached the castle gates. James felt trapped. He had experienced true freedom while at the summer home, but all too soon that too had vanished.

Much of his time now, was spent in the company of others. The loud chatter of voices seemed too unbearable, and he had to learn that it was okay to speak out loud again. At first, he didn't recognize his voice as his own. As often as occasion would permit, he isolated himself in the library or his room. He studied the texts more closely in regards to Adremedian poisons and discovered many of them to be deadly. So then how did Lilly survive?

According to the texts, an Adremedian who has been thus poisoned would be dead in a matter of hours. That answered some of his remaining questions, but what was the Forbidden? How had Korah poisoned her? Was he dead? Sighing, James rubbed his eyes then looked at the table. There in front of him were his questions. Where had they come from? Looking closer, he noticed that one of the questions had an answer written under it. It was the one answer he hadn't been able to find. What is the Forbidden?

Adremedian intercourse, when refused by the opposite sex or if one of the two is sick.

Sitting up he looked around. No one was in the room. Reading the answer again, he tried to remember his time with Lilly.

'Korah is not well.'

'What did he do to you?'

Horror filled his heart then anger. He left the castle and made Torta run hard until they were in the forest.

”Lilly! Lilly come out! I know you're here!” There was no response. 'Lilly!'

'I told you, Prince. The truth has released your anger.'

'Where are you? Come out here!'

'I'm not in the forest presently.'

'Then where are you?!'

'Now, now Prince. There is no need to yell. Your noises would only prove to kill me were I to be in your presence.'

'Why did you submit? Don't you understand what you have done?!'

'What's it to you, Prince? You're Human and I am Adremedian.'

'Why did you submit?!'

'If I had submitted, I would have been dead before you got me back to the summer home.'

'I don't believe you.'

'But neither do you doubt, because I survived long past the two hours.'

'And Korah? What of him?'

'Why, Prince, I do believe you're jealous.'

'Don't change the subject!' he replied, seething.

'Very well... Korah was not poisoned, but….'
