As she walked, the adrenaline of the fight wore off and shame weighed heavy on her. It was never a clean kill, she always lost control of herself and did whatever she could to ensure her survival. It also became painfully obvious that she had been injured somewhere. Her walk became an uneven gait which eventually became a limp, and she stopped to lean against a tree. Looking down at her leg, Sarain cursed, there was a deep gash on her leg, from the wolf's claws or teeth or something she had collided with was unknown. She sighed, and reached into a little pouch on her belt.
When she pulled her hand back, a small glistening blue pellet. A pearl, as they were called in the underground. They were very potent painkillers but the side effects could be less than pleasant. Because of their effectiveness, they were widely prescribed in treatments that involved natural remedies, however they were also extremely addictive and highly illegal to use without a proper order. She had been using them since her arena days, although the underground had an inside doctor who would 'prescribe' them to her so that her use of them was technically legal. Since she split off, however, that was no longer the case and her possession of them could get her locked up for a very long time.
She had been struggling to stop using them, however at this moment she saw no other option. She grit her teeth. Perhaps that's just what she wanted to believe, and she was using them as a crutch again. She did always have a few on her belt at all times. She hesitated a moment longer, before throwing it back and swallowing it dry. Almost immediately, she felt a blissful numbness spread and her body lit up from breaking her withdrawal.
She stood straight and tested her leg. She'd need to treat it, but it was stable enough for now. She could walk somewhat normally. She began walking again and her hand came to rest subconsciously on the little packet of pearls on her belt. Nohin must absolutely never know she had these.
hi, i made a plant: sta.sh/0fd87wp731k (i sent it to the mods, and some of them have given me the green light so it'll definitely exist in Alva somewhere )
