Mercury Pookal Novels & Stories

"I'll pull up what I've got on the gas bomb situation." I nodded and headed inside, taking the stairs two at a time. I needed a shower. Needed to wash the blood and dirt and mercury off me. Needed to think clearly. I tried mindlinking Draven again as the hot water pounded against my skin. Nothing. "Come on," I muttered under my breath. "Where the hell are you?" After bathing, I opened a drawer and took out a vial that contained a purple liquid and immediately drank it. It was an antidote for mercury poisoning and it was always at our reach.

Would someone going to try hurting or killing my mate? Zeus was right there underneath the surface, as close as he could get without throwing me out of control. He was constructing a list of ways to keep her safe because she was the most important thing in our lives, and we refused to let anything happen to her. “What would liquid mercury do to you?” she asked her. “Nothing because I’m a Precoza by birth. Royals have a high tolerance for poisons, but the one poison that doesn’t affect us at all is mercury. That’s a fact that nobody outside of select few know. Why do you ask?”

Indeed, this was a very satisfying sight. “Yes Thank you for showing me how to retaliate against you undetected. Dimethylmercury is very effective. It works slowly but is extremely deadly. 0.1 mg of it will definitely send you to hell, and just two drops will cause symptoms to appear after four months, but it's late enough to be unmanageable. A few months later, I'll surely die without any trace of the poison in your body because it will have been gone for months. Isn't that amazing?” Lucas exclaimed happily as he watched Mrs. Allen cry uncontrollably.

“Let’s have a little fun, shall we?” My captor gloats as he picks up a small blade from the tray and I hear the sizzle as he slowly runs the blade down the inside of my forearm. I can’t hold back my scream as searing, burning pain spreads through my arm as I feel the blade slice through my skin. Fucking mercury! “What’s the matter? Don’t you like mercury? Oh, that’s right, bruja’s hate the stuff,” he smirks as he proceeds to run the blade down the inside of my other arm, forcing another scream of pain from me as I instinctively fight against my restraints.

“You will need to prepare every sword with silver, including arrows and crossbows.” “Will we be using guns, Trey?” “No, we will not.” “Why? I thought we were going to use every weapon we had.” “Since you are the only one, I trust, I will tell you why. But first, take this vial.” “What's inside the vial? Why does it look this way? ”It's Mercury, and I was hoping you could take this knife and dip it in the Mercury and not let anyone know about this. It is between you and me. Once you have finished preparing the weapon, I need it back but make sure it is untraceable.”

Giant glass cylinders filled with silver liquid lined the walls, and the floor was a grid of copper and obsidian. "This is where the first 001 was created," Sora whispered to me as we walked. "Long before your mother became Queen. Your father, Arthur, and a team of 'Deep-Alphas' found a vein of pure Void-mercury under the seabed. They thought they could use it to power the world. But the mercury had its own ideas." "What ideas?" I asked, looking at a cylinder that contained what looked like a human heart made of silver.

“Um… hang on.” “What is it?” “I’ve never seen this kind of ammunition before,” he replied. He grabbed some pliers from his stack of tools. With some effort, he managed to pry one of the bullets apart. A silver liquid spilled out onto the wooden table and every lycan in the room froze. Ned stepped in and touched the substance. “Is that…?” Ned nodded. “Mercury.”

“And I’d love to tell you everything… but I can’t. Just be careful of the people around you.” “Skip the warning,” I cut in sharply. “Keep your advice for whoever actually needs it.” A small smile touched his lips. “What was used in the poisoning?” I repeated. He hesitated. “Mercury,” he said. “And arsenic.” My breath caught. “Wait… what did you just say?” “You heard me,” he replied calmly. “And I don’t repeat myself, Miss Terisa.” He turned and started walking away. “You can’t just drop information like that and leave!” I called after him. “That’s not even half the story!”

A servant went to pick the cup and gasped returning all eyes on the spot again. "What is it?" Eric demanded. Everyone kept their eyes on him as he brought the cup back to the King. We both examined the insides of the cup and I noticed traces of a silvery grey liquid; It was definitely not wine. Eric took the words right out of my mouth. "Mercury."

“Do you know something about the Somehiap mercury liquid?” My heart thudded painfully. I shook my head quickly. “What… what is it about?” He released me, straightening, his hands sliding into his pockets. “It’s poison. A dangerous liquid. My people have been dying from it for days now. I thought maybe you knew.” My chest tightened. His people were dying… and somehow, this liquid was tied to me? “Why ask me?” I forced out, my voice barely above a whisper. “I mean… I’m not the only one who’s heard of it, right?”
