HALF: Dead nor Alive

Eve carried Archie in her arms as she flew to the FalCon-3 where the four witches were at. The wind witch went to FalCon-1 to inform them about Archie’s condition, Eve wasn’t sure if they could help her, but it made her feel a bit at ease after knowing there were people that cared about him.

It only took her an hour to reach FalCon-3, and she landed at the spot where the mother was at. She looked around and could tell she was being watched by the wind witch from FalCon-3.

“Bring your other sisters here, Archie lose control and I need your help to take care of him while I’m gone. I will be back before night comes,” Eve said as she stared at the sky above her.

The wind blew and went in different directions, Eve spread her wings and flew away again to bring the other sisters from FalCon-1.

The earth witch appeared from the ground and then followed by the water witch. They both looked at Archie with the bottom half of his body gone missing, they both noticed that his body didn’t regenerate.

The earth witch covered half of Archie’s body with the roots that appeared from the ground and wrapped his body with them. It would be enough to prevent him from rampaging while the water witch looked at his condition and noticed he became a lot stronger than the last time she saw him.

“In less than a year, he could become this strong, unbelievable,” The water witch said as she sat next to Archie and stroked his hair and noticed that his forehead felt so warm. “Hmm? This is…” The water witch furrowed her forehead as she felt the power of the two kings in his body.

The fire witch dove down to the cliff and then she ran toward her sisters as she looked at Archie.

“What happened to Archie?” The fire witch asked as she walked toward the water witch.

“Archie lose control over his body for the second time, but we have no idea what actually happened because the woman left the moment she put him down,” The water witch answered. “But I can feel the power of two kings inside his body,” The water witch looked at the fire witch.

“Two kings? We know that he killed the king in the sea when he left, but what’s the other one?” The fire witch asked as she sat next to the water witch.

“How about you feel it yourself?” The water witch asked as she grabbed the fire witch’s hand and put it on Archie’s forehead. “Do you feel it? This warmth isn’t familiar,”

The fire witch furrowed her forehead because he didn’t recognize the parasites inside Archie’s body anymore as if they had turned into something new.

“We can only wait until that woman comes back then,” The fire witch answered as she looked at Archie’s condition which looked worse because the parasites inside his body were moving as if they were asking for their help.

Six hours had passed and Eve was seen flying above them, she was bringing someone else with her. The moment she landed on the ground, the witches were surprised and couldn’t believe that the other witches were brought there by Eve.

“Sister?” The fire witch asked as she looked at the water witch and fire witch from the FalCon-1.

The eldest fire witch from FalCon-1 smiled at her but she was more worried about Archie’s condition that she immediately approached him. She looked at his complexion and noticed the problem immediately after she listened to Eve’s story during their journey to FalCon-3.

“How can you be so stupid and let him use his full power even though you knew that he couldn’t handle the power yet?” The eldest fire witch asked as she looked at Archie’s face.

The other witches were shocked when they heard her speak to Eve with that word and tone.

“That’s why I asked him to spar to make sure if he could use the power or not. It’s better this way rather than he loses control when he fights the other Adam,” Eve answered. “You better watch your mouth, witch, or you will regret it,” Eve stared at her with an annoyed expression.

The eldest fire witch scoffed. “What are you going to do? Kill me? Go ahead because we serve no purpose anymore, but you need to know that you will lose him forever if you kill us all,” She stared at Eve with a serious expression and she didn’t get scared over Eve’s threat.

“Stop talking and do what you can do,” Eve said as she was pissed because she couldn’t do anything it was the first time she felt so frustrated over something.

“If the eldest water witch from FalCon-2 is still here, she could handle this easily, but that’s fine because we have to water witches here,” The eldest fire witch said as she stood up and looked at both of them. “We have to put Archie under the water, and let them enter his body and stopped all the parasites inside his body,” She continued.

Without wasting any time, the eldest earth witch created a small pit that big enough to put Archie’s body inside. The water witches filled the pit with water, and then the eldest fire witch looked at Archie.

“Everything is set, I want both of you to separate every cell in Archie’s body from the parasite later. I know it’s going to take a long time, but it’s the only way to do it,” The eldest fire witch explained as she looked at them all. “Yes, that means he will lose his regeneration ability, but only temporarily. He will regain all his ability once you intact the parasites into his body again but very carefully,”

“You’re planning on making Archie take control of his body first? Isn’t it dangerous if we do it with his condition like that?” The eldest wind witch asked.

“Yes, it’s going to be risky that’s why we are doing it later. For now, let’s feed him until he can regenerate his body back, and at that moment I want every single one of you to hold him from resisting,” The eldest fire witch said. “Is that clear?” She asked and looked at every single one of them, including Eve.

The eldest earth witch hunted all the parasites using all the trees in FalCon-3, it only took her five minutes to gather dozens of parasites. She threw all the dead bodies of the parasite down the cliff and then she used the root to bring it all to Archie.

“Let’s feed him, slowly and carefully,” The eldest fire witch said as she put the meat into her mouth and chewed it.

“What are you doing?” Eve asked with her eyebrows furrowed.

“What do you think I’m doing? I’m going to feed him,” The eldest fire witch answered.

“No! Let me do it myself,” Eve said as she pushed the eldest fire witch away from Archie.

Eve looked at Archie and then grabbed the flesh of the parasite and took a huge bite. She didn’t like the taste and she didn’t even remember when was the last time she had put so filthy and disgusting into her mouth, but she did it just so the other witches wouldn’t feed him.

Eve opened Archie’s mouth and put her mouth on his mouth while slowly pushing the chewed flesh into his mouth. She used her tongue to push the meat into his throat so slowly and carefully.

Everyone was watching Eve do it for an hour until Archie’s body finally regenerated itself. Thankfully, Archie was unconscious and the parasites were as well, so they didn’t have to fight him.

Eve carried Archie’s body into the pit and put him down in the water. The eldest fire witch asked the eldest earth witch to wrap his body with the roots to prevent him from resisting. The water witches dove into the water and started to get inside Archie’s body through his ears, nose, mouth, and other holes on his body.

The moment the water witches entered his body, Archie was awoken by them and started to resist as the eldest fire witch expected. The eldest earth witch tried to hold him down but he was too powerful and asked for assistance from the other witches to hold him down.

Everyone jumped down into the pit and held his arms and legs.

“We have to hold him down for who knows how long, but this is the only way to bring him back. I want you to give it your all because this is going to be a long night for us,” The eldest fire witch said as she looked at all of them.

“Thank you,” Eve said as she held Archie’s head with her both hands.

The eldest fire witch smirked and nodded her head. “No need to mention it, we are all here for him and want the same thing. We will bring him back,” She said as she looked at Eve.
