Lilith Scissor-hands [Lilith]

[Trésor de Lys]

Tres prepared herself for the surgery. She let lilith draw out her surgical plan on her back, and let her trace around the faded scars from her past. She dressed herself in loose clothing, a shirt that draped over her body like a towel but did not cover her back. 

She made her way back into the infirmary room, and laid down on a bed that she had prepared beforehand. The fresh sheets felt clean and soft under her body. She laid down on her stomach, with her drawn-up back facing the ceiling. Tres took some deep breaths in and out, mentally preparing her for her vengeance against Helena. Tres felt excited to have a piece of her life back, but nervous to have a part of her to remind her of which she once belonged to. 

She waited in anticipation for Lilith to begin the surgery.

Lilith Harmonia ▪ Tag▪ NOTES

Lilith had done her research. She’d spent nights upon nights in the library as well is in her own basement working on her technique and reading up on Helena herself, just in case. Helena was not the nicest of deities, but Tresor already knew that. From what Lilith could tell, the only hard part  would be reopening the old wound to reattach the muscles in her back to the muscles in the wing. It would be a painful recovery, there was no way around that. 

Lilith drew the plan on her friends back, going over the process in her head. Give Tresor the medication. Use a real scalpel to reopen the wound from before, taking out the old scar tissue when possible. Use magic to dig deeper (this was the hard part… Lilith was a healer, she closed wounds. Reopening the muscle tears would be difficult for her), bringing the muscles forward. Attach the wing one muscle at a time, worrying about any bones and cartilage later. After everything was attached, it was a matter of healing everything together, which she would be able to do with ease. The entire procedure would take upwards from 3 hours, as she would need to take breaks to assure her not passing out in the process.

In anticipation for this, Lilith prepared plenty of medications to keep Tresor knocked out for plenty of time. She pulled a jar of yellow jelly out of her bag. Tresor, this shouldn’t taste too bad, but you need to eat about… a quarter of this. She walked around to where her friends head was positioned and offers her the jar and a spoon. It was a concoction of Bumble Berries and Lunar Flowers. The berries often knocked people out for lasting amount of time, the flowers were extra for pain when her friend would wake.

    After Tres felt the tracing on her back, she sat up hearing Lilth's remarks of medication. Seeing Lilith remove a jar of an orange-yellow substance, Tres faintly recognized it. It was a mixture of what appeared to be both Lunar flowers-most likely a paste- as well as bumble berries. Tres nodded to Lilith when she remarked that it shouldn't taste bad, and that it should actually be a tolerable taste.

    Tres took the jar and spoon in her hands, and opened the jar that emitted a clicking sound when the seal was broken. Tres got a quick whiff of the odor, and to her surprise it smelt sweet but tangy, similar to a citrus. Tres took a large spoonful, and swallowed it whole. The texture was similar to a jelly and dried wax with a mix of seeds in it. Overall it wasn't unbearable, but necessary for her to be able to bear the surgical procedure that was about to unfold.

    After finishing a quarter of the jar, she set down the spoon and the container next to her bed, and laid back down. For the time being, Tres relaxed and focused on her breathing. After a few deep breaths, she looked to Lilith. "Now that I've eaten it, what's going to happen?" Tres wanted to feel fully prepared for what she was about to endure. "Could you walk me through the procedure so that I may have peace of mind?" Tres closed her eyes, and listened to Lilith.

Lilith smiled softly. Well, thats a mixture of lunar paste and bumble berries. So essentially, I’ve used enough that the berries will keep you asleep for long enough for me to complete the procedure, while the lunar paste numbs you from feeling any pain. In a few moments, you might start feeling light headed, sleepy, dizzy, your head might start to physically feel heavy. If that happens, just let it happen, lay your head down, and I’ll be here to make sure nothing goes astray. Once you’re in a deep enough sleep, I’ll begin. Lilith gave her the scope of things, not dumbing it down or going into detail, as Tresor knew most of the medicines and how they worked. 

I’ll begin by reopening the wound I closed when we met. First with a physical scalpel, then again with my magic to re-expose the muscle tissue and connect yours with the tissue on the wings. I’ll attach all your muscles first, then the veins and bones. Once everything is attached properly, I will do a reflex test to assure that your muscles will control those in the wing. After that its a simple close and stitch up, apply some healing pastes, and make sure you’re comfortable. It may be a while before you can lay on your back however. Lilith smiled bitterly, knowing for herself that would be awful. She couldn’t sleep on her stomach.

After explaining it, she would wait for Tresor to slowly fall asleep, petting a soft strand of her hair to keep her calm. Once she was out, Lilith waited another ten minutes before standing, and getting ready to start.

    Tres felt a twinge of fear sit in the pit of her stomach, she had performed procedures on others, but hadn't had any procedures conducted on her in a very long time. But her nerves were put to rest as she had faith in Lilith. She explained the effects of the bumble berries, to which Tres had previously read about, but appreciated the reminder. Then she listened to Lilith as she explained how she will go about the surgery. Tres felt her breathing grow heavy, and her body grow heavier. Tres laid down to prevent dizziness, and just focused on her breathing.

"Thank you Lilith..." she sighed, "I appreciate all that you have done for me."

    She let Lilith play with her hair and settled into her bed. She felt the need to prepare herself for the aftermath of the surgery, making a list in her head of all the preventative methods of infection and proper wound cleaning. The list settled her mind, as her eyes slowly grew heavier and she fell into a deep sleep.

After the first attempt for this procedure had gone awry due to his abrupt summons to the castle by the King himself, another date had been made. The time leading up to it was spent reviewing the research he had done before with regards to the energy patterns and the other attributes of connecting the magic circuit and other elements from Tres to the wing. Lillith would handle the fleshy bits which was for the best: medical wasn't the strongest of Adrain's skills.

By the time Adrain had gotten there, Tres was already asleep.

"Hello Lillith.." he greets, taking a breath and then looking through a tome before speaking again. "I will be ready when you are to help with the magic and mana side of this as discussed while you handle the physical and life part...I will do what I can to help in the process but you are the expert on the surgery." he states.

Assuming no other dialogue happens, Adrain would after the procedure be in a different room waiting for Tres to wake up. Lillith would likely tend to her first as one might expect from females and appropriateness and all that.

As Tres fell asleep, Lilith waited for a few moments, assuring that her friends as deeply unconscious before beginning her work. She hadn’t done much before the Headmaster made himself known, and it was a good thing her hands weren’t on the patient at the time, because she jumped in surprise. Goodness! Headmaster you startled me! She gasped, and took a moment to collected herself. Once her heart had slowed, she continued with what she had planned on doing - making the cut through the flesh for better access with her magic to reopen the entire wound. 

Yes of course. Once I have completely reopened the wound that was created when the original wing was lost, and remove all the scar tissue, we can begin reattaching the wing. I should only be a few minutes more. Its the reattaching that will be the hard part. Lilith sighed and finished making the incision she’d needed. After taking a breath, she stuck her fingers into the slot she’d made, only needing to do so with one hand, while the other rested on the left shoulder blade, above where her other wing would be. She mumbled to herself time and time again, reinforcing her magic to try and reverse it. It was a lot easier given that it was her who’d healed the wound the first time. Undoing someone else magic was more difficult. 

After about three minutes of this, Lilith removed her hand from the flesh, and wrapped a towel around it, looking up to the Headmaster. She’s ready now.

Adrain nods and removes the barrier around the wing. He had painstakingly made certain that all of any possible external connections to the wing were severed so that Helena couldn't detect nor try to influence Tresor or damage her. The feathers were troublesome, but perhaps with time Tresor could make use of them or convert them to her own needs but as far as the mage could tell, the wing would be safe in terms of detection.

His eyes glow as he begins to see the lines of Tresor's mana circuit. "Begin to connect the wing, I will stabilize the mana in Tres' body and make certain that the circuit links to that of the wing as well as making sure it works correctly from the magical side. The regeneration serum will help mend the flesh when applied after the first connection is made." he states then going into a trance as he prepared for the connection. Once it was made, he would begin to work at connecting the circuit of the wing to that of Tresor's body and keeping the magic side of it stable.

Lilith did as she was told, moving her hands back into the incision and finding the correct spots to connect the tissue again. Now that she was healing rather than tearing apart, it came a lot easier to her. She didn’t say a word as she did so, just finding the muscles and tendons in the wings, and matching them with the corresponding ones on Tresor’s back. Her own eyes were glowing lightly, but she had never noticed before, and continued to be oblivious to it now. As she pushed herself further, she felt an odd connection to this wing. Last time she had touched it, she’d had a strange vision of a man she just didn’t recognize. So far that hadn’t happened this time, but none the less, she was really wary.

[Trésor de Lys]

    Tres was in a deep slumber that she thought would be unbroken. However, when the began to be attached to the body, and the manna of the wing was fused with her own manna, the nightmare began. Tres began to have visions and memories flooding her mind, all of Helena's tyranny and abuse. There were flashes of blackness and of red blood pouring from different parts of her mind. Tres had thought Helena's reign over her was long over... she was wrong.

    Although Tres was having nightmares, she was still unconscious. But her body began to convulse along with the hellish visions she had. Anyone who touched the wing with their manna would see visions of their own as well, as a side effect of the wing's manna.

[Deleted]

While Adrain was working from his end, the aforementioned visions indeed course through his mind. He could see Helena being foul and abusive, violent even. Yet for some reason a part of him made him wonder why she acted in such a way. Something about the entire situation with Helena felt off from the beginning, it was a lingering, nagging bit that never fully went away. Regardless, he could tell Tresor was having issues and he sighed.

"Now, now wing, behave yourself.." he states aloud which Lilith might find a bit odd. "I'm going to try something before Tresor has nervous issues, she's reliving some of her bad memories of being a servant of Helena, however there is a touch of another deity's mana involved, I believe Vanessa. If I activate that for this procedure, hopefully it'll shift the nature of the effect she's having and reduce the tension." he states as he then stimulates the small bit of Vannessa's mana that was in the wing and trying to have that go through to her mind instead of Helena's, meanwhile he was attempting to reduce the impact that Tresor was feeling from the connection by putting up a temporary block on the mana trying to reach Tresor's body while everything was still being connected.

❊ BACK TO NEVERLAND ❊

Lilith saw the visions as well, and her body stiffened visibly. She felt terrible for Tres as she watched the scene unfold, goosebumps rising all over her flesh. Moments later it was over and she heard Adrain speaking as well as felt as her friends body began convulsing, yet her eyes remained glossed over for a moment, as a vision of her own began playing- and she was unaware if anyone else could see it, but if anyone else was touching the wing with their Mana, then it made sense that they would.

It was a mans face- deviously handsome, yet there was a glint of danger in his eyes. Lilith had only seen that face once before, in a vision the last time she’d touched that wing. The man was looking down fondly at someone, someone with long platinum blonde hair, similar to her own. Only.. her eyes were blue, a bright brilliant blue. She looked so familiar too, though Lilith had never seen her face before, it reminded her of her own. Moments later the vision changed, to the same face, only twisted; almost as though it was contorted with anger. He was laughing in a crazy fashion, but Lilith heard nothing, and the vision soon went blank. She blinked her purple eyes in surprise, glancing down at the still shaking Tresor and gasped. She had no idea how long she had been just standing there, but she jumped back into action,  mending the muscles and tissue again, while Adrain did the mana work.

Did you see that too? she muttered nervously.

    Following the inducing of Vanessa's alternative manna from Adrain, the convulsions of Tres' body began to subside and slowly but surely came to a stop. The tremors had stopped, and now that the procedure was coming to a close, Tres began to feel herself fading back into the real world as the hellish nightmares and visions of Helena began to fizzle out of her mind into a blurred memory.

    As the two other finished, Tres began to open her eyes, feeling dizzy, hazy and lucid. Tres had been unconscious the whole time, and only faintly remembered the painful visions. As she came back into reality, she began to feel the immense pain that came from her back. Tres began to groan as she exhaled a heavy breath. "every... thing.... ouch." Tres' incomprehensible mumbling was both full of pain and elongated like a child whining about going to bed. Her voice was rough, and tired as though she just woke up from a nap. Tres remained on her front laying down to prevent any more pain.

"I saw Helena being a nasty, spoiled brat of sorts, thats about it. It's best not to dwell on it if you can help it." Adrain says, not having seen the second vision that Lillith had seen and had no reason to really agitate or pursue it further. The rest of the procedure seemed to finish up as well as it could. Tres roused herself after a certain point of the procedure being mostly finished as it could made him awake. Adrain goes to where Tresor's head was a few feet from the wing and puts a silver potion down in arms reach.

"This is a regeneration potion, if you drink it it should reduce the pain and speed the healing. It is what it's supposed to be this time." he says, referring to something only she would know without details she'd likely want Lilith to not be privy to while he wen back to where the wing was.

"I'm going to draw whats left of the divine mana that was in the wing keeping it intact out into a crystal so as to minimize the interference as much as possible. Hopefully, this will get all of it but I'll repeat as need be since I have to take it a bit slower as to not cause problems with the freshly healed insertion. This should work if the math is right and based on my research.." Adrain says, kneeling down and picking up a large, palm sized crystal putting it on Tresor's back at the base of the center wing as he activates a spell, then beginning to pull any traces of divine mana that weren't Tresor's out as well as he could.
