The battle was over. As far as Edhener could see, they had reached their goal, and that without as much sacrifice as he had first thought would be necessarry. At least most of his companions he could see alive and standing, he himself being among them. Even if he was hurt, he was still able to think clearly and to recognise the things around him. But he did not care much for his situation. There would be no dark oblivion for him, no sleep which would take him, at least only for a litttle while, away from the pain and sorrow of his world.

Edhener moved away from the wall on which he had been leaning, desperate to hear a human voice talking to him again, and wanting to be rid of the dreadful weight that had descended upon him due to the slaying of two of his kin. He tried to tell himself that he had had no choice, yet how could he know that for certain. He knew the madness that had possesed him during the battle. What if his opponents had actually asked for mercy, and he, instead of offering it to them, had killed them?

Suddenly, Edhener stumbled over something. Bending to see what it was, he caught sight of Leoflic, lying on the ground with his eyes closed. At first Edhener felt a shudder pass through him, thinking that, after all, there had been a great price to pay for their quest, but, when he bent closer, he saw that his companion was alive and did not seem much hurt.

Edhener's first thought was to call Elfride to help him, but he saw that she was more needed in other places. Therefore, he had no chioce but to try and revive his companion himself. He still had some water with him, not much, and not as cool as he wanted it to be, but he had to make do with it. He poured his water over Leoflic's face, and gave a sigh of relief when he saw his companion's eyelids flicker open. He smiled to him.

"The battle is over,"he said,"and soon we will be returning to our homes. Are you much hurt? Can you walk?"

And saying this, he extended his healthy hand to Leoflic in order to help him up.

Mayonette hurried over to Cordelia's side where Garnae lay wounded and unconscious. She pulled out the smelling salts that she had packed in case Sandrina was unconscious. She waved it under neath his nose. His eyes flickered opened.

"He's alive, but we have to stop the bleeding. He's just faint from all the loss of blood. He'll be fine," she said, examing his side. It was only a small cut that ran the length of his side. It wasn't deep enough to have done any real damage.

She ripped Garnae's sleeves and pressed them to his side. She handed one to Cordelia, who looked up at her like she had no idea what was going on.

"Come on Cordelia! Get with it! You want him to live? Then hold this against his side tightly. If we can get the bleeding to stop then he has a chance," she ordered. What had come over the woman she had no idea. Cordelia had never been the type of girl that lost her head at the site of blood.

Cordelia Harrison · 10-06-2006, 06:47 PM

Cordelia nodded and took the sleeve that Mayonette was handing her. She held against the rest of Garnae's wound tightly. She then started to pray.

Please spirits. Please anybody. Save this man. I love him. Does that mean nothing? She continued to press the wound with Mayonette's help. She only hoped that this attempt would be enough.

After several moments Mayonette motioned for her to check her side of the wound. She did and saw that it was no longer bleeding. She waited a little bit to ensure that it wasn't just slowing down, but indeed it was done bleeding. Mayonette checked her side of the wound and found the same thing.

She leaned over and kissed Garnae softly. She stroked his cheek gently.

"Hang on Garnae. I shall take of you. I promise. Just don't leave. Hear my words and come back to me. I love you," she whispered. She hoped that her words of love would save him.

Léoflic had been wandering aimlessly in his dreams, troublsome dreams at that. He had seen his mother and father, lying there dead along with all of his new found friends.

Suddenly, something cold splashed his face. He opened his eyes and saw Edhener leaning over him.

"The battle is over," he said,"and soon we will be returning to our homes. Are you much hurt? Can you walk?"

He extended his hands to aid Léoflic in rising. Léoflic grasped it firmly and smiled weakly. "I knew I could count on you having my back my friend."

He rose slowly to his feet, looking around as he did. He saw Nikolai lying dead some few feet away and other men lying around. Then he saw Elfride and breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of her and another woman who he assumed to be Sandrina. Then he saw Thomas standing near Mayonnette and Cordelia leaning over a figure that looked horribly like Garnae.

"What happened? Will he be alright?" he asked slowly, still breathing heavily.

The Sixth Wizard · 10-09-2006, 12:07 AM

The shadow passed and Garnae slept. But he was alive. He had not passed yet to the beyond, where the final veil of darkness lifts forever and Men wait until the world is renewed. He had too much to be, too much to do. There was more to do yet.

Garnae opened his eyes. It was later in the day now, he was lying upon a makeshift bed. He tried moving his arms, they resisted a little in the blanket folds around him. I feel pain, he thought suddenly as his side twinged. The sky was bright above him. He tried shouting. Not enough strength for that yet. He tried humming. A dry, cracked noise came out.

Suddenly Garnae noticed the frying pan among his other belongings. Crean nudged his side. "Anyone for fried coney?" he yelled with a burst of strength, wondering who to. He smiled.

Cordelia Harrison · 10-09-2006, 06:24 AM

Cordelia couldn't stay still. Garnae hadn't woken. He had slid in and out of consciousness, but had never acknowledged anything. They had made him a makeshift bed. Elfride had said that they shouldn't move him. Not until he had woken up fully and felt like he could make it to Mayonette's estate.

She had offered to cook everyone a nice meal, since she needed to do something. She then had set to work making a very large meal while Elfride tended to Garnae and Leoflic. Sandrina was resting peacefully. She couldn't blame her for that. She had been through such a horrid ordeal.

And now her heart was going through a terrible ordeal. Garnae seemed to hang in a tender balance. As much as Elfride had reassured her that things would be fine she couldn't convince herself that she was right. So she just went on cooking, trying to soothe her fears.

"Anyone for fried coney?" A familiar male voice yelled. She spun around and saw that Garnae was fully awake and smiling. She dropped what she was doing and ran over to him. She knelt down, her heart racing so much that she had to catch her breath.

"Garnae. Oh Garnae you made it," she breathed, tears gathered in her eyes. She didn't dare hug him for the gash in his side. Instead she settled for a tender, loving kiss.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, stroking his hair away from his face. She studied his now awake face. She had never believed she would see his handsome eyes again. Tears fell quickly down her face in relief.

Crystal Heart · 10-09-2006, 08:03 AM

Mayonette was dozing lightly against Thomas. The hours had flew by, she could bearly remember. After the fighting and assessing all of the wounds they had decided to create camp outside. They didn't want to stay inside with all the blood and the bodies and they couldn't move Garnae just yet.

She opened one of her eyes and saw that Cordelia was just running around doing everything and anything that her stressed mind could come up with. She felt so sad for her friend.

As long as Mayonette had known her Cordelia had never been the kind of woman that worried. She had been strong and logical. She was a rock. It was a fact that had scared many suitors away. Until Garnae.

She had been watching and she could see that he really did care deeply for her friend. Perhaps even loved Cordelia, but she couldn't be very sure on that. Yet there was some spark there. She could see it in their eyes.

She hoped, for Cordelia's sake, that he would pull through. Elfride had said that he should be fine, but she could tell that there was some uncertainty about that. He had lost a lot of blood.

"Anyone for fried coney?" She heard Garnae exclaim. It caused the entire camp to perk up. Mayonette smiled as Cordelia raced over to check on him. She looked up at Thomas and he smiled, giving her shoulder's a squeeze.
