Sacrifice - 3rd PoV Nicky had passed out, red dribbling from her mouth. Poison. The normally emotionless Ikos was surprisingly crying. Not a lot, but there were visible tears flowing down his face. Belle and Nova were seething, but not devastated. Vixen never concocted something painfully deadly without loudly declaring it. Artemis and Lennox were in shock. Reeva was digging though her knapsack to find her antidotes booklet. "It says here to find the ingredients to the poison, take the saliva of the victim and mix it with a special herb." Reeva reads aloud. She grabs the herb, crushes it, collects an unconscious Nicky's spit, mixes the concoction, and come up with a bright red liquid. "Blood poison. The only cure is a human sacrifice." "Blood poison?" Nova gasps. "Vixen never uses blood poison without loudly announcing it. They've changed they're style." "Never mind that. What do you mean, human sacrifice?" Artemis butts in. "It says to perform a sacred ceremony. Cut the following runes, then it shows the runes, on the sacrifices body, then chant the incantation. When done properly, by someone close the poison victim, the blood of the sacrifice will make a bright blue potion. Pour into victim's mouth to counter blood poison." Reeva reads aloud. "Does it matter who the sacrifice is?" "Ikos! That's so dark!" Belle exclaims. "Does it?" He demands. Lennox reads over Reeva's shoulder. "No. Just the chanter matters. Whose close to Nicky?" "You guys are not seriously considering this." Artemis asks. "I am." Ikos replies with a steely determination.
