*Midnight is broken from her thought's. Several minutes of silence fill the cave. The air is nervous and tense.*
Yes she did.....several types of animals. You know birds, rabbit's and a few other lot's......there was something else...
*Midnight close's her eyes...*
What is my official name again...something about Dragons?
Coriolis Brenna Keeper of the Spirits and Watcher of the Dragon Realms
*Midnight's eye's open in a flash...*
That was it Dragons.....years and years ago before we were born Arios was attacked by Dragons...we at first attacked them back...but soon learnt that there was more than one way to deal with them...Learn their language.and communicate with them...Mother learnt quickly and soon became one of the few they trusted. She would try and teach me the language at times but I could never get it right No idea why they've made me Watcher of them. They were great to watch and amazing creatures, very smart but young ones can be pretty useless in battle. Sharp teeth and claws but hardly any fire...though still need to keep a eye out for when the cough or hiccup....Had my hair singed frequently due to that.
Mother used to say Dragons could travel anywhere, they have magic to do so and didn't need to use any of the paths the Watchers did.
I wonder what happened to them on the night of the raid...I doubt they'd still be around..no one there to look after them they would of moved on.

*Sudernly Midnight felt a sharp and urgent tug at her dress, she looked down and saw a frantic Malark trying to get her attension.*

*Midnight looks at her feet her dress cut from Malark grabbing it so quickly his sharps claws cutting the material easily.*
What is it Malark?!
*As soon as the crab has her attention her hurries over to Zeytan who in Coriolis's and Midnight distraction is laying on his back his face deathy white but his lips deep blue. His chest heaves up and down as he gulps for air.*
Oh DAMNIT!
*Midnight rushes over to him. His eyes barely open but filled with pain...*
What is it Zeytan? What's happened?

*Midnight rememberd Zeytan limping earlier but had assumed it was nothing major seen as he hadn't said anything about it.*
Why didn't you say anything earlier?!
*Midnight slowly lifts the hem of his trousers up a foul smell fills the cave causing Midnight to go slightly green and holds her hand to her mouth briefly. Zeyatn has a large gash along his lower leg about as deep as it is wide and his ankle is swollen. What should be a scab is a yellowy green square of pus. The smell is foul and the gash disgusting. There is alittle cut in the mound allowing some to leak out along his leg onto the cave floor. Kneeling down by his leg she runs a hand barely inches from the cut and frowns.*
This is gonna hurt....
*Frowning Midnight places both hands over the wound, a soft glow appears in her hands but just as she start's Zeytan gasps in pain. Wincing Midnight carries on....*
Sorry Zeytan....

*Unsure what quite happening Midnight turns her attention back to Zeytan who has quietened and seems to be unaware of the pain that he should be feeling. She nods and closes her eyes. The healing would only be a brief one 15 minutes top but the work is slow and the smell as the pus is forced out of the wound worsens causing her nose to twitch. Slwoly the infection drains, the skin heals and begins just like a normal cut and then the skin is renewed but a scar is still there. The glow slowly fades and Midnight relaxes.*
All done....
*Looking to Zeytans face though still pale it is much better than before and his lips only show the slightest sign of the blue they were. Turning to Wolf but not holding a hand out.*
Thank you..

*Fighting off the urge to slap Wolf (if he was there) though grateful ..more than grateful for his help his apparent rudeness at times annoyed her.*
*Midnight looks back at Zeytan and checks him over. All was back to normal, brushing his hair our of his eyes.*
You'll be fine. Just rest a while.
*Malark walks over to her and gives her a concerned look.*
He'll be fine. May take a few days before he's back to his normal self but my healings tend to make the recovery process a lot faster. You'll just have to be his carer for a while....and tell him off if he pushes himself too far..OK
*Malark gives her a some what happy smile...but Midnight got the feeling he would enjoy telling Zeytan off more than just a little. Midnight goes to stand up using her hands pushing herself up. Her hand brushes against something soft. Looking down she see's the gloves. 8looking after where Wolf left she quickly picks them up unsure why but she heads after him taking the gloves with her.*
I'll be back in a minute...
*Getting outside she doesn't spot Wolf and walks further outside.*
Now where is that man??

*as he feels his heart return to normal wolf flexes his hands and keeping the serenity of the forest around him rests a while*
*a twig snaps near the cave entrance and wolf smiles just a little to himself remaining sat on the floor his back to the cave wolf lets the viel of the forest fall from his shoulders and waits for the inevitable............*

*Spying the man appear as if out of no where.*
You know to most people it's customery to have something called manners.
*Approaching him she stands at his feet and holds out his gloves to him.*
Again thanks..It took more for you to do that than I could probably imagine...I'm sure Zeytan will be thankful to when he's ready and healthy again.
Why did you do it? If your touch sensitive.

*Zeytan lay still on the cave floor till he was sure Midnight was gone and Malark's attension had driffted away on to a moth that was flutering on the cave roof.*
*As Malark stared intently with great curiosity at the flutering moth Zeytan quiatly krept out of the cave and headed of down the path.*
"Now then acording to Midnight it was some were round here."
*He was serching for the site of the confruntation with The Assasain, to see if he could find any evidence of his freind Tom Troughton's fate.*
"Well here are the tracks and there is sign of a struggule that must have been the one between Tom & Midnight but also of a more recent one just further down that path, the ground looked like it had been scorched as well."
*Troubled by this Zeytan made some quick calculations.*
<Zeytan swoload hard>
"If my calculations are correct then the scorched earth is the place were Midnight said Tom landed."
*Zeytan walked back to the scorced piece of ground and examined it closer.*
*Sigh*" Just as I feard there are traces of blood here as well."
*Zeytan looked up and somethng caught his eyes in the bush just in front.*
"Helow whats this?"
*He reached into the bush and brought out.....*
"Tom's recorder......He won't have gone anyere with out this & it's soaked in blood."
*Zeytan bowed his head.*
"Rest in Peace Tom Troughton."
*He said quiatly, then he stood up and whiped a tear from his eye as he did so he noticed a pice of paper stuck in side the recorder. He pulled it out on it was writern one simple word.*
MIDNIGHT
*Zeytan nodded to the sky as if saying.*
"I will deliver it for you my freind."
*The turend and headed back to the cave.*

"Because, midnight, sometimes we must do that which we despise to better ourselves or another........"

*Midnight looks down at Wolf for a couple of seconds and drops the gloves into his lap.*
Maybe one day I'll understand that line more than I do now.
*Turning to walk back to the cave....*
Your a mystery Wolf...a mystery I hope to work out one day.
*As she walks off.*
If I ever get the chance to....
