[Don't panic! Just describe in two words what the shape of that vapour is] all this ti, she held the Bullet of William in her hands. The latter heard everything that happened between the two siblings, and he didn't feel any surprise at all.
He already saw through the fake act of Richard, yet Lara didn't. William always felt from her words that she never placed Richard in her eyes, always considering all this as the grand sche of the evil elder.
"Black… Snake…" she muttered these two words with much difficulty. She could already feel power fading away, failing her in speaking normally at this mont.
She tried to stand up from this hit, yet she couldn't. For a reason, that vapour worked like magic, instantly weakening her. All she could do now was to slightly move her arms, raise and lower them. And she felt she wouldn't be able to say another word soon.
"Don't speak then, this is the Vermont Black Viper Vapour… It's a very toxic, very fast acting toxin. It has a numbing effect, like a paralysing potion or sothing. You'll feel your body failing you, your head goes silent, and your eyelids beco heavy…"
He started to speak about the effects of this vapour just from the two little words that Lara said. This wasn't weird, the weirdest thing was that such poison didn't belong to here!
William already introduced new forms of materials to the Vancouf family, not vapour. Vapour was a product that wasn't known in this world. On top of that, the vapour was made using the materials that ca from the outer world.
And that ant those who made this toxin already knew about the uses of the materials appearing all the ti inside the Lost City.
Lara on the other hand was feeling more frustrated at this mont. If she could speak, she'd scream at his face, asking him to stop this nonsense and speak about what she should do.
William didn't speak about how to antagonise this toxin but spoke about it as if he was in the middle of a lecture or sothing. She didn't get it. If he could understand all this about such a weird product, one that she never saw before, then why the hell was he wasting ti speaking like this?
[To undo it, you have to do two things…" After just a couple of minutes of speaking, and when she felt her eyelids grew heavier as he already warned her, he finally reached the point she wanted to hear, "it might seem crazy, but you need first to not panic. This toxin works faster on those with uncontrolled emotions. Don't panic, don't feel anger, don't feel anything. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and take a long and deep breath. Free your mind and spirit of all the burdens you have, got it?]
That was why he made sure to speak for a long ti about this toxin and its effects. People feared the unknown, feared what they couldn't get or understand.
If William started his talk with just asking her to clear her mind and be void of any fear or anger, then she'd not be able to do it.
He had to slowly walk her through the ins and outs of this toxin, making her familiarise herself with it. Then when he'd ask her to clear all doubts and fears like now, she'd be able to do it.
Lara wanted to blurt out that this was just bullshit. But when William repeated his request again, telling her to not worry, adding the magical words at the end: "Trust on this!" she couldn't help but follow this mad youth and do as he say.
She took a deep breath, tried to clear all her emotions right now. She failed at first. But when she closed her eyes, it suddenly seed as if everything she held inside was pushed away like magic.
Lara couldn't help but hurriedly open her eyes, and then she felt like her vanishing strength returned. It wasn't the sa as her pri condition, but it wasn't that bad like before.
"It… It worked!" she couldn't believe the simple and seemingly useless trick William told her to do really did its magic.
[Don't get excited, not yet. You will get a severe hit of that toxin if you get excited. Control yourself, and keep regulating your breathing]
"Ok… But…"
eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ [Don't worry about , I know what I have to do] William knew she was worried about him, [Now let's move to phase two. This toxin is still in the air, and it's already spreading inside your body. And so, we need to purify it]
"How?" she wanted nothing more but to do it.
[First, I need you to send the order to stop your family mbers from intervening. You heard him, he already gave the order for your family mbers to attack . I don't want to be held responsible about any of that]
"Sure…" she was feeling a lot better now once she got a better control over her emotions. She turned around, and the ssage Paper she held before when she got hit was now a few tres away from her.
Richard was so confident in his toxin that he never cared about sparring that ssage Paper a single glance or even took it away. She tried to stand up to get it but failed.
"Screw it!" she crawled, moved slowly on her belly while struggling to get to it. Once she grabbed it, she laid on her back, panting as if she ran for a few kilotres or sothing.
She took repeated breaths, before slowly sitting straight, raising the ssage Paper she just grabbed. "This is an order from , your leader…" she had to pause, while feeling tired again, "don't intervene in the ongoing fight in the city and Lost City. I repeat, don't interfere…" she paused again before adding, "if you did, your death isn't on the family account. I repeat, your death won't be blad on anyone but yourselves."
[Good girl!]
