"Would you say the same thing is the one who came here was a pregnant woman?"

Everyone followed the voice and saw that was Demeter who was looking at Artemis.

Artemis looked at her for some seconds before nodding.

"Yes, I would" Said Artemis with firmness.

"I couldn't take a life just because I am scared, that, is a sign of cowardice" Said Demeter.

"Be careful with your words, the one who gets infected might be someone you care about, if that were to happen, there is no pill for regret" Said Artemis.

"I can't believe I am going to say this, however, I agree with Artemis's point of view, its too dangerous to let them come in" Said Aphrodite.

She turned around to look at Dionysus who was also there.

"I agree with aunty, abandoning someone just because they can hurt us… isn't something that I like to do" Said Dionysius.

Everyone looked at each other and found the uncertainty in their eyes.

Alfonso didn't know what to do, he also had his doubt in what to do, that's why, and he also had his doubts.

"Even if we don't kill them, we can't just let them in, what if some of us get infected? Be real, this place is only beginning to flourish and you want to introduce something that dangerous!?" Said Artemis

"We aren't talking about things, we are talking about human beings!" Said Demeter.

"When they got infected, they stopped being normal humans! They become a deadly treat to everyone around them" Said Aphrodite.

"They aren't death, they are sick!" Said Dionysius.

A discuss aroused and everyone had their own opinion, Alfonso wanted to intervene, however, he couldn't satisfy one side over other because he hadn't decide what his point is.

To kill or not to kill, what should he do…

"I… I have something… to say!"

Suddenly, everyone turned around when they heard the shout.

The voice belonged to someone who hasn't talked until now.

"Hygeia?" Asked Alfonso.

"I…I want to ask you all, why is everyone talking about… killing or not killing… those two are not our… only… option!" Said Hygeia with all her courage.

"Isolating us isn't an option either" Said Alfonso.

"No… my lord, not that, I mean, before everything, shouldn't we consider… to cure them?" Asked Hygeia in a small voice.

However, everyone who heard those words were stunned.

Even Alfonso was.

"That's right, why didn't I think about it… if they are sick… the only thing that we need is the cure… but…" Alfonso Though.

"Finding the cure isn't something simple, nowadays, we don't have the tools to find the cure to this strange illness" Said Alfonso.

"My lord… I…I want to try it…I know that I can find the cure!" Said Hygeia.

"How can you know that if you haven't even see someone infected" Said Ribeiro.

Hygeia looked at everyone in the room with nervousness.

She looked at Alfonso and Alfonso nodded, she took a deep breath.

"Actually, I have seen it before"

The news shocked everyone.

"What… did you just say!?" Said Alfonso.

"My…my lord, I heard the symptoms that Mr. Ribeiro said, I… I am pretty sure that I have seeing this illness before!" Said Hygeia.

"Explain yourself" Said Alfonso.

"I was born in a small village on the east, there, my family used to own a farm, we had a lot of animals, among those animals, I used to have rats, one day, the animals began to die, one by one, and they had this protuberance like things growing on their body, my parents, who were scared, killed all the animals, and they burned the bodies, however, similar things began to occur in different farms in our neighborhood, the leader of our village wanted to kill all the animals, however, if we did that, the village would have starved to death; days pa.s.sed and the situation grew worse and worse, however, one day, my mother prepared an elixir, just like the ones I do, and cured a dog that my family had, eventually, she spread the word and all of the farmers came to our house to buy the elixir, my mom used to call it, Saint Maria's tears" Said Hygeia.

"Do you… have the recipe for that elixir?" Asked Alfonso.

"Yes, I do!" Said Hygeia.

"However, to make it, I need one crucial ingredient that can only be found in my hometown" Said Hygeia.

"What is it?" Asked Alfonso.

"I never remember the name, however, it's a type of water that grows on my hometown, near the village, my mom used to say that there, the G.o.ddess of water, Maria, used to play with the fishes" Said Hygeia.
