Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"Sorry, Mrs-" Luke started to apologise, before stopping short.

"...Rowena." he said.

"And sudden? I... don't think so?" he answered. "I mean, looking back on it, we had a day or two where her temperature was higher than normal, but it was assumed her mana was just flaring up from stress and stuff." he told her. "But the sudden spike was out of nowhere." he continued.

"As for marks and bruises, no." he told her further.

"...and maybe her eye colour was a little duller, thinking back on it." he then stated, recalling his memory.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Rowean just sighed, heavily.

"Sounds about right." She commented.

"Anyway, thanks. you good or need me to extract some heat?" She askedm, ehr voice curious.

"If it could help, lemme know and I will."

Luke paused for a moment, confused about her first statement, but then gestured to his palms and thighs.

"I think there might be some heat lingering." he told her.

"The paste my Mom used is working wonders, but there's a small persistent burning feeling in my palms and legs." he said.

"So I think there's some left in there." he reasoned.

"If you could help, that'd be great."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"It's gonna hurt more before it feels better." Rowena warned as she stepped up to him and laid her hands on his thighs, making sure to not have them in a potentially awkward position. All she was after for the moment was to have it that she was over the worst of the burns.

Sure enough, her being so close caused every burn to light up, and bad, but he could feel the pain decreasing in his thighs. It still hurt like a bitch, ut it was more like the rest of him than before. After she finished there, she tended to his hands and stepped back so that the pain from her natural heat would diminish.

"Better?" She asked

Luke was wincing for a moment, breathing hard and rapidly, before he slowed down to a more regular rhythm.

"Yes." he said. "Much." he told her.

"Thank you." he then said to her.

"I've just been laying here, not moving, because it's hurt like a bugger to move." he then mumbled.

"And I've been worrying about Kelly." he sighed.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Well, with what you told me, I might actually know what's going on with her." Rowena comment.

"I just have to ask one last thing. Anyone in this house summon or grow some rock roots?" She asked.

"Because it matters." She added. "Your answer could very well just outright confirm it, and then she can be properly treated."

"Eh? Rock roots?" Luke muttered.

"Uhhhh.... hmmm." he mumbled further. "No. Don't think so." he said.

"Hm. Fair enough." Rowena responded. "I'll be-" she started to say further, before Luke interrupted suddenly.

"Oh!" he exclaimed.

"Wait! Yes! Mom does!" he recalled.

"She's got some... very fragile plants downstairs. I think notably a Fairy Fern and some Emerald Rose." he remembered. "And she grows Rock Roots to help stabilise them." he explained.

"Why?" he then asked.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Rowena just sighed.

"Why? Because there's a parasite that lives in them, that loves heat." She told him honesty.

"It's been long since believed extinct as it's so rare to find nowadays, not since the dragons died out." She continued.

"I think that's what is plaguing Kelly, and Ashleigh too."

Lucas' eyes widened when he heard that.

"A parasite!?" he exclaimed, jumping to his feet.

"Then we need to-!" he started to say further, before his expression was that of sheer unadulterated pain... causing him to collapse and crumple onto his back again.

"Ah! Ahhh...! Ow-ow-ow..." he moaned.

"Ohhh THAT was a bad idea..." he murmured.

"But something needs to be done!" he said to Rowena, still panicking.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Don't worry, thios family of seaweed aren't even of interest for the thing." Rowena assured him.

"Now stay put and just heal. I'm going to go see if your dad's doing all right." She added before waving and heading off. As she did though, for a very brief moment, he saw a ring of flames around him and the pond he was by. It wasn't there long, and certainly wasn't hurting him, but it was a warning to say taht he better not do anything stupid.

She made her way inside, knocking on the backdoor.

"Hey Andrew?" She called, not sure where hew would be.

"...." Luke was silent as he saw the flames, before sighing.

"Of course." he said.

"...probably wise." he admitted.

Meanwhile, Rowena heard Andrew from inside.

"Door's open!" he called back.

"Come on in! I'm in the den!"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"You got anything you wanna share about what happened with Kelly?" Rowena asked as she stepped into the room.

"And any heat you want me to try and remove?" She asked.

"Also, rock roots - all of you here will need to start treating them *before* Kelly comes back here, and every couple weeks, maybe months depending on their use at the time."

Andrew looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Eh?" he mumbled.

"Right. Firstly, I'm good for heat removal." he told her. "Thanks for the offer, but I'm pretty all right at the moment. No lingering heat mana or anything." he assured her.

"Secondly, what is there to share? She went down and I got Ash here to take her to OLA. Tried to keep her temperature down with cooling petals." he went on.

"And thirdly, treat them? How? Why?"

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Freeze them." Rowena answered.

"There's a parasite that they can birth, it's extremely unknown nowadays, that will feast upon heat.Kelly, being here so often, is a prime heat source for them." She told him honestly.

"So... I'm pretty sure that's what will kill her if they don't listen to me at OLA." She added.

"And on that note, I need to go touch base with Vincent. Just make sure to freeze the rock roots when you get a chance to make sure there are none lingering on them."

"Parasites!?" Andrew exclaimed.

"...I see." he muttered.

"They feed on heat, do they...? Explains why the cooling petals seemed to work well..." he reasoned.

"But they can't handle the cold. Got it." he said further.

"I'll go and do that ASAP." he continued.

"And I'll relay this information to Anna as well."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"Just make sure she's entirely aware. For now, I'm going to go touch base with Vincent, get his help with giving you draydins a way to freeze them if you need it - as I don't know if the blooms you guys can summon will do it, so just in case - and get his help to drop Kelly's temperature." Rowena told him honestly.

"If you need me, just call. For now, I have something I need to do before she dies." She added before vanishing in a twist of flames.

She appeared back home in the den and sighed.

"Vincent!" She called, wondering where he was for the moment.

Wherever he was, he wasn't there for long, as seconds after she called out his name, a small whirlwind whipped up in the corner of the room, and Vincent appeared in the middle of it. It died down quickly and he sighed, before making his way over, a book under his arm.

Which told her he had been at his study.

She looked at the book and saw it was about old and borderline ancient maladies. Seemed he was seriously trying to help.

"Yes?" he asked.

"You discover anything?" he asked her.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I need an orb of your coldest ice, but please make it safe and not going to kill someone." Rowena answered.

"I think I know exactly what is going on." She added. "Also, if you'dplease go and chill Ashleigh, that'd be fantastic." She wasn't giving him any information, but honestly figured that Kelly's life was a bit more important for the moment.

"For now, some of your mana please, for in case it is needed, and I need to go make sure my grand daughter survives."

Vincent looked unimpressed for a moment, but then sighed.

"I expect answers later." he told her.

"But for now, seeing as I am sure time must be of the essence right now..." he went on, before creating an orb of ice in his hand, and Rowena could already feel the chill emanating off of it.

"Here." he said.

"Hopefully THIS will satisfy whatever you need it for."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"All I'm looking to do is bring Kelly's temperature down." Rowena said before giving Vincent a hug, grabbing the orb and sighing.

"You mind giving me a lift? I'd rather not risk my fire with this orb." She then said.

after he'd transported her to OLA, she made her way through the people to the desk.

"I'm looking for Doctor Rene Calder." she stated simply.

"As I have information for a friend of his, and this is going to hopefully save her life." She added, referring to the mana that she knew they could see in her hands.
