Chapter 362 - Hound Head Snake

Seeing the blazing fireball setting a tree on fire, warming Ada's face from afar. She approached Osira, who has been cursing in pain over 10 times now. "Let me cut the place where it bit you, my mother told me that's how I can get most of the Venom out."

Trying not to offend Ada even at such a state, Osira shouted at first. "No!" And afterwards continued to explain, "That's a bad idea, it doesn't work and I can get an infection."

In a blink, she remembered how a couple of men in her tribe fared when they were bitten by a snake and sliced the wound to get the venom out. The infection was so bad, that the arm had to be completely cut off in aims of survival.

They did not survive, died a few days after. Not because of the Venom, but because the infection. Apparently the snake that bit them wasn't even a venomous one. So we can call this tremendously bad luck with a hunch of being misinformed.

However, handling a snake bite in these medieval times can be tricky. Because in most cases, people don't know how to get the Venom out. Some who are lucky enough, are bitten by a snake who doesn't have strong venom. At such cases one would get the Venom out in a span of a day by dropping a dunk in the rest room.

"Well what do you want me to do?" Asked Ada, confused for once and scared too. Shouting, "I don't want you to die."

"I'm not going to die!" Osira shouted back, once the thought of death further increased in to her subconscious, Osira instantly thought of her mother and her tribe.

Calming down just a hunch due to the thought of her mother, enough to think of a great idea she spoke. "We need to get to Eric, he has healing powers. Maybe it will work on Venom!"

"That's a great idea!" Ada replied with her facial expressions meeting a tremendous shift towards the better, her face smiling in concern. "Can you fly?"

"No! One of the fire controlling ladies tried that before, she is dead." Osira explained, trying to handle this situation from all of the experiences and events she managed to grasp in the past, be it little or huge. "Ada, you will have to carry me."

"But the town is almost half a Kilometer away, I don't think I can carry you." Ada has been training for over a month yes, but her physique didn't meet enough changes for her to lift and carry a person who weighs more than her by half!

"Well, at least carry me from underneath the shoulder. My stamina has to be minimized, or else this will turn out for the worst. Aaaa shit!" She tried to explain, but couldn't help commenting on the pain on her hand, the snake bit her right a bit over the knuckles.

...

"She got bit by a snake?" Commander Alia shouted in fear, showing sympathy for Osira's fate. Luckily she just happened to walk by up near the main entrance, she can lend a hand better than Ada can.

"Yes, we need Eric here right now!" Ada shouted, with Osira having her arm over her shoulder trying to contain the howls of pain.

"He will be no help, he doesn't know how to heal yet!" Commander Alia replied, but yet still wanted to help Osira as fast as possible.

She ran towards the edge of the Volcano, and shouted a word in the Calidum Lutum language. Afterwards she heard the same word being repeated by another lady, and afterwards by a man and so on it echoed all the way down the Volcano, the word being delivered all the way down there in perfect Harmony.

A moment after, they saw Eric fly out of the Volcano. He noticed instantly that Osira is not well, and ran towards her after his feet meet the ground. With a mild shout repeating, "What happened?"

"She got bit by a snake, you have to heal her." Ada replied, and although most did not notice Osira has already broken a couple of tears due to all the pain.

Refusing that he doesn't know how to heal, he instantly tried it although he doesn't know how. Waving his hand towards Osira, so the green aura can return and stretch over her and get the Venom out.

He tried to mimic the scene Akareas did, when she got the mind control poison out of Dilli Flury. But no, he is far too untrained with this type of power, he can not help her. But he did not want to stop, because Osira is the topic here and not someone who he sees as a half enemy, like Bittore in the beginning.

Hearing all the shouting echoing on the Volcano, all the Ignites started making their way up. Well more precisely Dilli and Mogranius, they both can fly so it wasn't the hardest to get here.

"What's happening?" Dilli asked, trying to help when she noticed the look on Osira's face, her hair out of place and sticking to her forehead due to sweat.

"She got bit by a snake!" Commander Alia replied swiftly and afterwards said in panic, trying to help. "This isn't working, we got to take her to the healers."

"It will work." Mogranius said calmly, ran towards Eric and was quick to smack him on the head once he stopped near Eric.

Although not visible, and by everyone around seen as a rude gesture and uncalled for in such a situation. A tear has been forced out of Eric's eyes after he recieved a smack on the head. That tear, flew towards Osira's face and a green dim light appeared around her.

Barely anyone noticed that glow, but Mogranius kept an eye out for it so he did manage to spot it. "The Venom has been slowed down by a quarter, now the healers have a bit more time."

...

"Drink this." Commander Alia handed a wooden cup to Osira, containing this weird dark green water, well semi water at least. It feels thick enough to be considered a semi solid form.

Without asking what this is, out of desperation Osira grabbed the wooden cup and clumsily drank it, some dripped alongside the cheek and rolling down until it dropped to the ground.

Everyone glanced at Osira in concern, but they were more concerned of the preparations the three ladies in here were making. These are the healers, and they specifically reached in for hot coal in one of their smaller cave rooms in this same place. Why use coal for such a case?

"Alright I need all the boys to get out of here, the girls can stay if you want to support her." Commander Alia explained, once she saw one of the healer ladies grunt with a nod.

"Why do we need to get out? Eric has to be here in case the healers can't help her." Mogranius spoke in concern for once, because after all she is a kid. He kinda got used to looking after her, ever since he gave his clothing to her up in the cave at the High Mountains.

"She will be stripped n.a.k.e.d, neither of you is close enough to her to see that." Commander Alia explained her reason, and indeed it seems something no one could argue against, but Eric would in terms of health even though he would be very embarrassed.

Osira heard this part, she still is conscious and she has no disagreement with it since Commander Alia feels sure enough that it will work.

"Out out out." She kicked the two only males here out, and rolled in a flat stone near the meter wide entrance. It was specifically left small so it can be sealed, in aims of giving any injured person privacy.

Commander Alia and Dilli helped Osira to get her clothes off, while Ada held them so they won't get dirty. Afterwards a fire was lit with the aid of flint and steel over the coal they have spread, perfectly placed in order so one wouldn't accidentally step on any of them.

The three healer ladies walked towards Osira and without saying anything they gently grabbed her. Walking towards the set fire, they kept Osira exactly 8 feet above it with their own hands, being careful not to touch the private parts, holding the head, feet and belly. Holding her up is no issue either, these ladies are 8-10 feet tall and strong.

"Why are they holding her over a fire?" Ada asked, as the fire itself unsurprisingly made Osira feel a bit more conscious.

"The liquid she just drank is only active if the person is close to a source of heat, this will help force the large quantity of venom out of her body. She should throw it up in no time." Commander Alia explained calmly, so no one would be in panic, so no anxiety would strike the three lady healers.

"And why is she n.a.k.e.d?" Dilli dared to ask the possibly most concerning and at the same time embarrassing part.

"Well the liquid can't get all of the venom out." This part concerned Osira once she heard it, her face turned towards a bad mood although no one noticed it. But luckily Commander Alia explained the rest. "The fire will help her sweat out the rest of the venom, this way we can assure that she will be absolutely safe."

About half an hour later, the three ladies dropped Osira gently to the ground. She felt her body being tremendously warm, and didn't like how this rock feels so bad on her buttocks as well, it is too rough for a person without clothes to sit on it.

Before anyone spoke anything, she felt nauseous, her stomach ached a bit before she threw up all across the room. Afterwards, one of the healers raised her hand and gestured that Osira is fine.

"She is alright, the Venom is out." Commander Alia specified and the first to make Osira feel even warmer was Ada.

She ran towards her, gave her a nice hug and whispered. "I thought I lost you."

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." Osira replied, feeling embarrassed that she got bitten and feeling embarrassed that 6 ladies just saw her n.a.k.e.d, she isn't comfortable for anyone to see her this exposed gender regardless. So she asked, "Where are my clothes?" After seperating from the hug.

One of the healer ladies approached the vomit, poked it with her pinky finger and put the substances in her mouth. Disgusting no doubt, but it is for research purposes.

After some exchange of dialogue, in their own Calidum Lutum language. Commander Alia approached the group and explained, "You got lucky Osira, the snake that bit you was only mildly Venomous. It was a Hound Head Snake."

"I didn't see any hounds." Osira replied, with no aims of joking but still being dizzy from all of this.

With a smile on her face, followed by a light giggle, Commander Alia explained. "No no that's just a fancy name. The point is you can forget that this snake bite ever happened, the Venom has been tamed. What didn't get out yet, will get out on your next bathroom break."
