//Purification by Rathazul rework
//This is mostly a new scene taking some dialogue and inspiration from the original
//Rathazul no longer asks you for ingredients, instead taking the parasite as payment
//Minerva's body no longer changes from the potion and the parasite is shown dead
//The anemone dick stays like in the original, but the choice to remove it later is brought up
//There's no burping now, but there's puking

//purificationByRathazulBegin()//
You tell Minerva about Rathazul, describing his talents.  Although she's surprised and curious to hear more about your camp and the people in it, her expression quickly turns nervous as you suggest asking him to make a potion. [say: Can he really do that? Can a single potion fix everything after all this time? It sounds too good to be true.]

You vouch for Rathazul's skill to reassure her. You don't need to say too much, as she motivates herself. Biting her lip and forcing a smile, she says, [say: Well, I suppose it's worth a try. If he is as good as you say he might be able to help... I mean, it can't make things any worse, can it?]

You reply with confidence that the worse thing that could happen is the potion having no effect, and then you'd just keep looking for another way to purify her. Her eyes shine a little brighter at your words. [say: Well... if he needs any ingredients from around here, I'll gladly help you obtain them.] Minerva promises, still skeptical. After spending some time encouraging her more, you depart for camp.

Once you're back at your place, you waste no time approaching the alchemist in his workbench. Rathazul looks up when he notices you, raising an eye curiously. [say: Is something the matter, [name]?]

You nod, and ask him if he knows anything about removing parasites from inside people. At his bemused expression, you explain it's not for you.

The old rat[if (nofur){-man}] shakes his head. [say: Can you tell me more about the parasite? A specialized potion would be better than a general one.] You can't describe the parasite itself; Minerva never told you what it looked like, but you can tell him about its strength, how it entered her body and the demonic transformation it forced upon her, without mentioning any unnecessary, personal part of the story. [say: I haven't heard about a parasite like that before,] he says sadly, frustrated, yet not resigned. [say: But there is a recipe that could work.]

You ask him what ingredients he needs.

[say: I already have them.] He hurries over to his alchemical equipment. You watch, uncertain of what the different materials he's pulling out are as he messes around with them, but within minutes he has produced a strange-looking potion that he brings back to you. The resulting odor from the process—and the potion-- is strong, but not repulsive. You can almost taste it from the smell alone. Like good medicine, it doesn't taste good.

[say: Have her swallow this, and it should force the parasite out of her.]

You take the potion gratefully, noticing he has given it to you for free. Was he feeling generous, or is he doubting the efficiency of his own potion? [say: I won't ask you to pay the costs in gems, but I want you to bring me the parasite. I could use it as an ingredient.]

A fair trade. You accept his deal and pocket the vial somewhere safe. All you need to do now is give it to Minerva and hope for the best.


//purificationByRathazul()//
Like you did going to your camp, you quickly return to Minerva's tower, but a bit more carefully to avoid breaking the potion's vial. As soon as you step into the oasis you call out to [if (minervaRomanced){your siren lover|Minerva}], and your excited calls draw her attention before you've finished talking. She was ready for you.

The siren runs from the edge of the spring up to you, then looks at your hand as you bring it forward. [if (minervaRomanced){She gently takes it in hers and slowly peels your fingers to take the vial from you|You hand over the vial, and she takes a moment to stare at it before grabbing it}]. [say: Did he make a potion so fast? Wow, he really must be as good as you said.]

She brings the vial closer to get a better look at it. There's a moment of silence that lingers for too long before she goes on. [say: All I have to do is drink this and I'll be finally free...] she sighs, still doubting, but she stops herself suddenly to pull the cork off the vial then, with her eyes closed, down the entire potion. You can see her squirm halfway to finishing it, and she has to force herself to swallow the last drops, barely holding to finish it before she lets the vial drop. She gags and chokes; she topples to her knees and groans in pain.

You hurry to get to her side and she grabs your hand desperately. [say: It hurts... it hurts!] she wails, arching her back in pain as her stomach visibly swells. Her parasite seems to be fighting inside her, battering her belly as if trying to force its way out. You lean closer yet, using your free hand to offer extra support and move her braids back behind her to not bother her.

Eventually she begins to slow down, getting more time to breathe between each gagging sound and every choking noise, which turn louder and louder until, finally, her body can't keep it inside any longer.

Minerva vomits, letting out everything she was holding while again taking little pauses that barely let her breathe before hurling once more. You tell her to stay strong and remind her you're there for her. The next time she pukes after you say so is the last one. It's long and much more solid, leaving in one piece and hitting against the rancid stew on the floor with a splash.

It's not easy to recognize at first glance whatever it is. It's covered from one end to the other, but the more you look at it, the more you begin to distinguish parts. You see what look like mandibles, and a leg, and another, and many more after. Having come out of Minerva, this can only be that parasite.

Minerva yelps and jerks backwards, almost dragging you to the floor with her as she falls down, and then tries backing away while she still needs to catch her breath. To calm her down, you let go of her hand and pick up the parasite to confirm its dead. She sits straight to the take a better look. The monster's body hanging limp relieves her worries. You wipe the puke off the parasite as best as you can without dipping it into the purifying water and put it in your backpack.

The siren takes a deep breath and her eyes begin tearing up. [say: It's dead...] she whispers, the tears now running down her dirtied face, but her smile radiates with joy as she says, [say: It's really gone! I'm finally free! I thought I'd never say it, but it's true, and it's all thanks you!] She rubs her eyes with her hands, though the waterworks don't stop.

She finds new energy and motivation to get back on her feet. She touches her belly; her body's greatest burden is now history. The pain she was feeling just before is gone as well. [if (minervaRomanced){[say: I'm so lucky to have you. I want to jump in your arms and kiss you. If only I wasn't covered in...] she grimaces, [say: in vomit.] She lets out a frustrated noise, but her tears actually dry up as an idea comes to her fast.|[say: [Name], you're the best friend I've ever had.]}]

//menu. Skipped if she’s already your lover or you refused her before
[Agree] (Tell her she's a good friend too.)
[Confess] (Become more than just friends.)

//purificationByRathazulPart2()//
//If she was already your lover, it starts with this paragraph
She takes her clothes off and drops them on the floor, where its clean. She gives you a different, perverted smile. [say: Want to take a bath together, and then maybe we can do it together after?] A bath sounds like a good idea, so you[if (naked){ take your clothes off and}] run to the spring with her before she can drag you along.

//if you chose [Agree] or refused her before it starts with these two paragraphs
You tell her you cherish her friendship too, and cheer for her purification and newfound freedom. She takes a moment to finish crying, looking at the floor and then back at you. [say: Is my face dirty?] You tell her it is. She doesn't look surprised. [say: I'm going to wash myself at the spring. Do you want to sit next to it? I'd like to spend more time with you.]

That sounds good to you. You rest at the edge of the spring, cooling your [feet] in the fresh water while Minerva washes all the filth on her face and in her mouth at a distance. Once she's sparkling clean again, she sits next to you, dipping her talons in the water too.
//

//If you chose [Confess] it starts with this big paragraph
You tell her she's precious to you too and you want to be more than friends, briefly rendering her quiet. [say: ...You mean...] You say you love her again, this time without any ambiguity. Her disbelief vanishes quickly and she gasps, surprise and joy in her voice. Her grin grows even wider as her eyes shine like a cat about to pounce. She almost jumps at you for a hug and a kiss, but she stops before she manages to touch you. [say: I can't,] she says frustrated. [say: I don't want you to taste my vomit, especially after you told me something so beautiful.] Her smile returns, however, when she looks to the spring. [say: [Name], let's bathe together! And then if you want, we could do something else after.] Seeing her so happy and energetic, you can't say no to her. Minerva quickly takes off her clothes[if (!naked){ and helps take yours off}], then takes you by the hand and rushes to plunge into your first bath together. As your head resurfaces again, you see a blush appear on her face, turning it purple with her embarrassment. [say: I got carried away... sorry! I just got so excited when you told me you loved me. And I wanted to hold you so badly...] You tell her not to worry. You're not angry at her. The blush doesn't disappear, but she gives you again that sharky smile you came to love. [say: I really fell in love with the best [man] in this world.]

//Then they all continue here
[if (minervaRomanced){The cool water against your skin relaxes you, letting every tension leave your bodies. You lean against Minerva and she wraps an arm behind your back to bring you even closer to her. You enjoy|Minerva playfully kicks her feet, making little waves, enjoying}] the tranquility of the oasis and the [sun] casting its light down on it. Looking up, your siren [if (minervaRomanced){lover|friend}] says, [say: There's so much to discover out there, and now I can go see it whenever I want. Even if it scares me, I want to go out and make new memories. [Name], if you ever want to go out with me, I'd be happy. But if you don't, I'll still be here.] You ask her if that means she'll still live in the tower. [say: Yes. Even if I was trapped here first, this place saved me when I was alone. It's my home.] She turns to you again. [say: Maybe I'll come visit you at your camp for a change. I should also thank your alchemist friend for helping us.] Bringing up Rathazul makes her remember a very recent memory. She gives you a curious look [say: Hey... why did you take the parasite with you?] You explain the deal you had made, impressing her once again. [saystart]Wow! If he really can use it to create medicine, that would be amazing. It would make me happy to know the pain I went through helped heal other people![if (Creeping Taint was enabled){[if (you cured the curse in any way){ I hope he can make a cure for you. You deserve it.| There's probably others like us out there fighting to not lose their souls.}]}][sayend]

[say: I was so lucky. Things could have gone wrong so many ways...] she sighs, but you tell her not to dwell on it. She's already free of parasites and doesn't need to worry about what's in the past. [if (minervaRomanced){As if objecting, Minerva's anemone penis stings her thighs with its tentacles, making|You can't see it, but you can tell when the anemone between Minerva's legs stings her as if protesting your words, making}] the shark-like harpy squeak. You ask her if she's fine. [say: My dick stung me,] she explains. The explanation reveals more to her than you. [say: Should I call it my dick? It's become a part of me, and I got used to it, but... it's still another creature attached to me... It won't corrupt me, though.] She goes quiet, doubting what to say.[if (you have an anemone dick){ She's right; your anemone penis doesn't increase your corruption and neither should hers, but that's not the only problem tormenting Minerva.}]

[say: It feels very good, but it caused me a lot of trouble in the past... but maybe I can control myself better without that other parasite corrupting me?] She sounds unsure, unable to convince herself one way or another despite her bargaining. Eventually, she gives up and just says, [say: [Name], you've done so much for me. If you think I should remove my dick, just tell me and I'll trust you.]

Any item that could remove a penis without side effects should work on hers too, but both of you agree to leave that for later. Right now, the two of you stay as you are, enjoying this moment together for a little longer [if (!minervaRomanced){until Minerva falls asleep on your shoulder. You carefully move her to let her rest against the edge of the spring and kiss her forehead before heading back to your camp.|before you return home to your camp. [say: I know you have other things to do, [name]. Come back soon.}]
