Planetes
3. i. Charlotte's Web (1)

The bentala took a deep breath. Elliot is not a person who is good at explaining everything in a detailed story, but as much as possible he will not miss it.

"As I said in our initial meeting, I was Neptune." pause for a moment before adding. "That if on earth is the god of the waters. More or less I came to this earth in the 5th or 6th century before Christ."

It's not a pleasantries, but Elliot felt the need to tell it.

"Unfortunately, you earthlings do not accept the presence of entities like us here. Then, a great disaster came. Destroying the city and its civilization. Sinks into the sea floor. As a result of my overflowing strength." sound lolosan exhalation from the rannum gap.

"All planetary and lunar embodiments have the ability to control nature. No exception to me. That's what Possy— tells me I mean Poseidon. Because I have no memory before the 15th century."

After this is the most important part of the story.

"According to Poseidon, after the sinking of Atlantis. I split myself in two. One is me and the other is Poseidon. Poseidon said, as long as my soul is in him... There was one curse that could never be healed in any way." he closed the story with a sigh.

"In short, this body becomes an empty shell in the absence of a soul. For hundreds... Even thousands of years, I was only able to remember my main purpose of coming to earth. Without being able to remember the sins of the past, without being able to remember anything I did at that time. Until Poseidon came to see me and told me all about it. Including what he did to Medusa." Elliot looks tired.

"I don't deserve to say this, but... Whatever he did to Medusa, it's my responsibility as well. Suppose that at that time I did not divide myself, the incident will not—" he said stopped because of the sound of a broken sound from his left hand.

Elliot grimacing. Why does the curse always come without any signs first?

"—have painkillers?" he asked while pointing at his left arm that was twisted somehow and began to drain blood. Three curses active simultaneously. Real nice.

Ryan listened carefully to the story of the blue planet. For the first time Ryan felt an odd feeling.

For him who had disposed of his human nature felt this strange feeling was really stifling. He did not like this, as it would make him feel weak.

Putting aside those sympathies, he only felt they were both similar. Similar because of the other side of them. Elliot with Poseidon, while he with Medusa. That's all, nothing more.

However, before Elliot finished his sentence, Ryan heard a voice.

His eyes were fixed on Neptune's left hand which suddenly spewed blood.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to Master's place to ask for medicine!"

Ryan rushed back to the old building, asking for some herbal medicine to treat Elliot's broken hand.

Elliot grimaced softly as the pain began to radiate from his fractured hand. He is not a man who can easily heal from wounds. Automatically this curse harms him.

"Sorry to bother, Ryan."

It didn't take long for Ryan to return with medicine, broken wood and bandages.

"I'll use my magic, hold on a second."

Although it is said to be healing magic, but the magic is only to heal external wounds that are not too severe. From Ryan's arm, something like a light green striped, magic circuit. He held Elliot's hand, and bewitched the blood to stop coming out, then used a wooden fracture and bandage for his broken hand.

"I can only be of first aid like this" Ryan said with a strange look. Showing a little regret, but honestly Ryan is grateful if this incident makes his mind distracted.

When Ryan came back and brought the drugs, this unique nuanced buana was just according. He did not want to add to the difficult girl (he eventually knew Ryan's real gender) to give first aid.

I don't know until when Ryan can withstand the turmoil of his nature. Especially revenge. Ryan knows that Elliot is not entirely guilty, as he only deals with Medusa. Not him, if Elliot found out about the Gorgon devotee who put an eye on him, he might not be him at the moment.

"It's okay, Ryan. At least the blood did not drip on and the wound was getting worse," grimacing softly as now his left arm had to be bandaged and held with wood.

Finally he chose to call the girl in the male guise by her pseudonym. Elliot knows that it's possible that around them there's someone eavesdropping and that it'll endanger Ryan.

"Sometimes, when you're doing a job or talking like this... Suddenly my bones broke. Then his blood did not stop, and finally my soul essence was lost (soul drain)."

These curses are really upsetting. It would be troublesome if he had to constantly experience this without being expected.

"We will solve your curse, the affairs of the Greek gods we set aside first." Ryan opened the curse paper and reread, "We removed your sleepless curse at a certain time, Soul Drain, and then couldn't use supernatural powers..."

"That means, Hide and Seek level Hell, Devil Mirrors and Charlotte's Web. Let's start with Charlotte's Web first, how about?" ryan's eyes were on Elliot.

Hearing Ryan's words, Elliot immediately checked the paper he wrote.

"Charlotte's Web? Means that removed first the curse broke my bones, right?" he corrected.

"It's okay, let's do it. First of all have to prepare a toy first for him." his plan passes the exhalation. "Spirit is troublesome, a little anger makes all the confusion." he wrote.

Elliot took out a deck of tarot cards from his pocket and placed them on the ground. Then take one of them randomly.

"Four of Swords is in reverse," he murmured softly. "It's not such a good fortune, but it's still a must try."

He put his cards back in his pocket. Then his eyes fell on Ryan.

"Give him puzzle blocks, Ryan. As long as he's distracted with it, you can take a chance."
