How Long Does A Blinker High Last Novels & Stories

"But heed my warning: once a drop wears off, you must stay out of sight and wait for two hours before you can take another drop. You must hide yourself as much as you can during those breaks." "Why the break?" I asked, eyeing the vial. "The break is for your own safety," the Seer warned, thrusting the vial into my hand. "If you take the drops consecutively without the two-hour rest period, the magic will begin to drain your internal mana at a rapid, uncontrollable rate. There will be dangerous, permanent consequences." I nodded and took the vial as she handed it to me. "I understand." Bellamy stepped closer, his pupils dilating. " I want to see it work"

On keeping my eyes open even when tears slipped out. He came with a low groan. Hot. Overwhelming. I swallowed fast. Tried not to choke. The taste stayed heavy on my tongue. Callan pulled out slow. Thumb brushing my swollen lips again. “Good. Very good rookie.” The woman’s voice returned. “Session recorded. Compliance confirmed. First dose will be delivered to the captain’s room tomorrow morning. Administer it before morning skate. Side effects include heightened sensitivity and emotional sync. Expect the link to start affecting gameplay within forty eight hours.”

He would usually take a dosage and it lasted for eight hours, now it has reduced to five hours. Since there was no way to tell the time, he had been monitoring it for a few days with the changing of the day and he finally confirmed it today. The Estrus period of a dragon isn't something to be trifled with, he had seen grown men go down because of it if they were too stubborn to answer the call of nature. He knew the herbs weren't going to be strong against it in the long run. ‘I need to get out of here before the effects of the herbs are rendered useless, I won't be able to control the symptoms after subsiding it for weeks’ he made a mental note.

I clenched my fist and sat down. "You used the Tryx on me, why?" I demanded. He smiled, moving towards the large windows. "I apologize for that, but you're fine now, aren't you?" He said and I glared at him. He was trying to bait me, trying to make me reveal my secrets. Normal night walkers takes three days to recover from an intense Tryx (a tracking spell which is usually used on criminals). It paralyses the muscles and blinds the person it is used on for three days. "I am NOT a CRIMINAL" I growled.

Austin then asks, “How close are you to finding out the duration of the effects?” “Well, we are just reviewing our latest findings. I feel pretty confident that is has a twelve-hour window.” Dr. Higslee says. I look at both doctors and then Austin. “I can make that work. How long does it take for the effects to work?” “Considering this will be topical and inhaled, I think we can cut the fifteen-minute timing to about five to seven minutes.” Dr. Higslee said thoughtfully. That is drastically better. I lean forward and with some excitement, “Okay, so here is the plan then…”

So, I stayed. Hour four was the hardest. The urge to blink became a form of torture. My eyes felt like they were filled with hot sand. I learned to "micro-blink"—closing one eye while keeping the other fixed on the glass, then switching. It was a rhythmic, exhausting dance. Every time I slipped, even for a second, I would see its fingers curl over the edge of the medicine cabinet, or see its torso lean out of the frame like a man stepping through a window.

They were shipped in from overseas at a ridiculous cost. “I have never missed taking them. Damn it, Rukov—if I don’t take them, how the fuck am I supposed to see?” I snapped. “I think right now the drugs aren’t doing their job anymore. It’s more like an after-effect. Last night I went totally blind for a few minutes. Earlier this morning I had a bad blur in my left eye that lasted almost an hour.” “Do you think we should head to the hospital? They might be able to check if something’s wrong,” Rukov suggested.
