The flue and the bard pt 8 : Facing curses

this is where they talk about Erikas curse for asking for the blessing of Apollo

Kiria watched with a covered mouth in the shadows watching Erika drown and struggle against the curse of a blessing. Erika gritting her teeth and groaning as she blacks out, Kiria ran over as Erikad aura rages on as Kiria attempts to reach out but as her hand nears, Erika's Aura bites and burns her hand. KIra yelped as she fell back clutching her  hand in pain, "w-what the hell" Kiria remembered something Hermes told her and pulling out her flute using her still burnt hand; holding it and gritted her teeth blowing a calming toon and after putting away her flute makes a request what she thought would go to death ears, "Erika Piper or the hate that lives in her, may your rage and pain be at rest and be tamed as long as you hear my music" Kiria chants as Erika's unholy Aura dialed down enough for Kira to pick her up and carry her back to the Inn. While even with an injured hand As Kira stumbled back to the Inn, The inn keeper rushed to the lobby and offered aid "A-ARE YOU LADIES OK WHAT HAPPENED" the inn keeper frantically asked questions as she ran to grab a medical kit. Kiria gently lays Erika on the couch before blacking out from her own injuries, as she wakes up in a Wagon rubbing her eyes which meets with the blue sea sky, As she sees familiar hair at the helm, M-Morgan? Kira mutters as she sits up next to an unconscious Erika, lifting her burnt but now bandaged hand she grunts and winces in pain.  Morgan pulls over the carriage running back to hug Kiria tightly, "y-you...YOU F*****G IDIOTS" Morgan sobs on Kirias shoulder like a child even for their large age gap in races "M-morgan....." Kira whispered, feeling an unusual sense of belonging and looking at the still unconscious Erika.

Morgen got up to give Kiria her cloak. Kira quickly reached into her cloak's pockets to find the golden wings were gone as Morgan hesitantly gave back Kiria her blessed flute and golden wings knowing for a fact who Kiria got them from, “Hermies huh?” Morgan asked as Kiria nodded looking down at her bandaged hand. “You know you're gonna have to pay right?” Morgan states bluntly and grabbed 2 bottle of booze handing one to KIria “for this talk you gonna need to be way out the “right” mindset” Morgan said; taking a swig and ready to speak her mind and as Kiria unscrewed the cork and took a swig, “Shoot away M” Kiria said boldly as the alcohol is already hitting her like a truck clear as day she was a “lightweight” as they say. “Your see our pal Erika here payed a price to have a blessing by Apollo that price” Morgan taking another swig and gulped down “THAT PRICE WAS HER STABILITY” Kiria looked blankly and hiccuped “H-HUH what” Kiria mattered out “her stability as a person” Morgan said bluntly “B-BUT SHE SUGHHH FINE” Kiria yelled out unconsciously. “W-well she wasn't varry f-fine as she burned your hand h-uh” Morgan snapped back clearly; drinking a lot more and blanked out. Kiria sat there wasted and blank eyed staring into god knows what as Morgen and Erika both lay and sat up unconscious. Kira sits in the wagon silent as she watches the sun going down and sipping water.

Hello! I’ve been reading your work and found the emotional rhythm incredibly natural. Some scenes felt almost designed for visual storytelling.
I’m a professional comic/webtoon artist working on commission, and I’d love to connect if you’re curious about a visual take.
