[ModNote: Continued from Carry On Escaping.] *She kept looking over her shoulder to make sure the others stayed within sight of her, keeping her ears open should any runinto trouble or the more likely trouble run into them .She continued to avoids the main roads, paths and making her own through the trees and woods that surrounded her, here in her element, where she could feel power seem to course through her veins, though at the moment there was some thing slightly unbalanced. Though currently she could not place as to what it was and for now putit down to being so nervous about the situation.* *As she looks around one more time her eyes narrow slightly and she stops walking turning to Coriolis a moment.* I need to go and find my charge.

Oh great... You'll excuse me for being a little less than ecstatic at THAT thought. The last 2 times you've put me on a Dragon, I've ended up in a different realm... Literally... *He came to a halt and leaned up on the quarterstaff. His head tilted to one side and carrying an expression best described as "Here we go again...". Memories of Her 'Charge' that nearly killed Him, of the Golden Dragon that took them home, of Zeriphel and his demented kite flying, not to forget the Boarding school and it's catapult, still fresh in His mind...* *Every time Coriolis found himself in mid-air, the landing tended to hurt. What was all the fuss about flying anyway? If THIS Watcher was meant to fly, He'd have grown wings instead of four paws and a tail.* [Sighs] C'mon then. I know I'm going to regret this but ,admittedly, it's the fastest route away from this mess. Just do something for me, something that no-one else seems to have managed, hmm? Try to remember you have PASSENGERS on this flight. The last few times I haven't used my feet to arrive somewhere, I've ended up painfully using my nose and the local terrain...

*Lady Mercury had been trailing behind the others, allowing them to pull slightly in front of her without them noticing, and rubbed the back of her neck*
"I've always hated hiking." She grumbled under her breath as she walked behind them
*As Lady Mercury walked along, a black fog seemed to appear and disappear behind her. As the fog disappeared, Lady Mercury uttered a soft cry, and leaned against a tree, pain evident on her face*

*Leytan, not that far ahead of Lady Mercury heard her footsteps faulter slightly then stop. He turned around and was concerned to see her leaning againts the tree in obvius pain.*
*He went back to her.*
"Isabel...whats wrong....are you ill??"

*Lady Mercury glanced up at Leytan, then uttered a gasp as another bout of pain racked through her*
"I'm fine!" *She said through gritted teeth* "I've just got a stitch, that's all, I'll be fine in a minute, you go on, I'll catch up in a minute, the trail everyone is leaving isn;t that hard to follow!" *Lady Mercury added, attempting to smile, the gesture falling rather flat as she doubled up again*
*She murmured uder her breath* "Please, just let me be"
*The words don;t seemed to be aimed at anyone in particular*

'Is something-' Wren began, before noticing the grimace of agony on Lady Mercury's face.
'Miss Mercury, are you in pain?' he asked, genuine concern in his tone. He immediatly dropped to his knees and began rummaging in his satchel.
'Leytan, check her forehead, see if she's running a fever. I very much doubt this is a mere stitch.'

*Further up the path, an impatient Watcher notices the hold up.*
[Muttering] Godsdamned lightweights...
[To Rhiannon] Lass, can you give me a hand here? Looks like somebody needs a little help when it comes to travelling the old fashioned way.
*He walks the short distance back the way He's come. The walk becoming the light pad of a Cat as He moves. Coriolis moved along side the tree that Lady M was leaned up on and nodded a Feline head over striped shoulders.*
[@ Lady M, Gruff and mangled by a Tigers throat] Get on... Yer a light little thing, weight won't bother me. We've got some miles to travel yet...

*Leytan touches Lady Mercury's forehead.*
"She's not running a fever Wren....in fact its the exact oppositate she's almost as cold as ice."
*Looks at Cor and then back at the striken Lady Mercury.*
"I think for once he's right Isabel...i'm not leaveing you behind and i'm certianly not going to do it when your in this sort of a state."
*a thought flashes threw Leytan's mind. he dips his head down and tries to look into Lady M's eyes.*
"Isabel....please tell me you didn't get into this realm by lay path walking!!"
*to Cor & Wren.*
"She may have Lay path sickness...she's not a lay path walker like me or you Cor."

*Lady Mercury leaned hard against the tree, and with obvious effort straightened up*
"See, I'm alright!" This upbeat comment was rather ruined by Lady Mercury's legs collapsing and her slumping back against the tree*
"Don't worry Leytan, it's nothing to do with the ley paths, you know I've never been over fond of them, it's just..." *Lady Mercury's sentence is cut off with her doubling over again and dry retching*
*Lady Mercury glanced over at Wren, who was still looking in his satchel*
"If you happen to have anything that can numb pain, please could I have some?"
*She then turned her head to look at Coriolis*
"I think I will have to take you up on your kind offer, thank you, I appreciate it"
*Finally, she looked at Leytan*
"I do appreciate the concern, but your concern should be more directed to yourselves and your companions, don;t forget, I'm not known to be travelling with you, so I could remain here, though I already know what your answer to that will be!"
*She finished with a smile, then looked at the group and hung her head sadly*
"Thank you all for your kindness, please accept my apologies for delaying you!"

*Leytan was imediatly down beside Lady M when she colpased back into the tree.*
"You don't need to appolagise Isabel...not your fault your ill."
*Smiles.*
"I'm not leaveing you....besides how many bounty hunters have tried to make a name for themselves by catching me in the past???"
*Takes Isabel's hands and helps her up to her feet.*
"Come on my lady your carragie awaits."
*He gently helps her walk to Coriolis. He then kissis her on the lips...the kiss betraying his deep feelings and hart felt concern for her well being. He then helps her to clim on to Cor's back.*

*Her gaze focuses on the distance a moment shaking her head slightly , shaking away a brief , vague image of fog but the sight is just as her head was turning and out of the corner of her eye by the time she looks back to assure herself of the sight it had gone, if indeed it was there in the first place. Perhaps she just needed to rest though when she looks over to the others raising a eyebrow slightly as the woman becomes ill her gaze once more returns to the distance where she thought she had seen something but perhaps it was just here and her imagination due to everything going on. She disliked the woman being ill but she knew they could not afford to linger too long not travel at a slowed pace if Leytan refused to travel without her then they needed another way to move and this time to leave no trail to follow. *
*She quickly walks passed the three of them briefly turning to her brother.*
If I remember rightly there is a very large clearing about two miles to the north east, keep going that way as quickly as possible. I will catch up with you as soon as possible, if you need to move on from there then leave me a sign of the direction you are heading in.
*She turns to the others.*
I would explain but have little time, Coriolis can while I go find my charge and then we can head to Winteria without being followed...well mostly.
*She then quickly runs off into the distance quickly disappearing amongst the trees. A brief shimmering of blue seen in the distance and then a loud roar echoes through the trees sending any animals startled into various directions, birds flying into the sky and any possible followers coming in her direction rather than their's.*

*LAdy Mercury looked at the group and sighed*
"I know you've had bounty hunters after you in the past Leytan, but this is different"
*She laid her hand on his cheek for a moment then turned to glance after Midnight*
"It looks like your sister has a plan to speed up our flight!" she said wryly
*She settled herself onto Coriolis' back and then said, "Thank you, all of you, hopefully this will pass, and I'll actually be able to be of sone use to you"

*Sighs* After a while, you realise that girl is full of surprises... *He makes off North-East at canter in the search for this clearing. It would need to be a big one if She was intending to land there and pick them up. The Tigers pace is brisk but cautious as He tries not to dislodge the young Lady while climbing over logs, rocks and undergrowth.* I hope nobody is afraid of heights or fire because taking flight is exactly what we're going to be doing. Her "Charge" is the bastard result of when a wizard mixes a blowtorch, beartrap and overgrown handbag all together. She's Arios best (and these days only) bareback Dragon rider...

*Leytan is following close behind Coriolis..keeping a worried eye on Lady Mercury.*
"No...no obejction here."
*he said trying to keep up the detached tone of "The Ice Killer" but failing, his concern for Lady Mercury cracking threw the vail of no emotions he had wraped himself up in for years.*

*Lady Mercury glances across at Leytan, and attempts a smile, which turns into a grimace of agony as her body is wracked with pain. She manages to stay on Coriolis' back by sheer strength of will, her breathing coming in short gasps*
