I noticed that Zia was awake, and that she couldnt speck. " Zia your safe, but i can not heal you this time, for last time the magic was by oath and you have broken it." I sighed. "Stay still, you are on Andruin, my horse, we will keep you safe from the creature in this forest. I glared around, all the rustling and sounds, all comign from the wood, which was pitch dark. From my saddlepack i took a torch, i could see fine but i wasnt sure of the others. I spocke a speel and it light on fire. Shedding some light. At that moment a large russel and scatterign of leaves, happned then a sqeul from an animal. Somthing was heading our way. I took my sword quickly holding it ready. A beast came twards us in the clearing. When i few feet away i stuck with with my sword slicing threw him. I looked in his mouth for a brownish red herb hung from it. Ganole i thought. "This warhog has ganole in his mouth, there must be some this way." I showed them with the light. while putting back my sword. I sepped over the warhog, Andruin and Tari following into the deeper wood.

Zia's eyes widened, for she knew that the pair thought she was drunk. She struggled weakly to sit up, and suddenly found a sliver of strength to rasp out what happened. She opened her mouth....but no words came. She tried again, to scream, but again not even a sound passed her lips. Zia blinked in horror, and clutched her throat. Now breathing heavily, she noticed with severe dread trickling through her body that her eyesight was a mere blur now, like a hazy dream.

I turned to Zia quikly as i could. I sensed her dread. Then held my hand to her head she wa sin heavy fever. She wasnt drunk, i felt horrible for judging this. Somone poisned her. The only way i could think to help woudl be to flush out her system. I held my hand infrotn of her eyes noticeing that they couldnt see my hand for the puples didnt get larger or smaller. Her vision was blurry. "Zia breath" i told her "only think of breathing." her breathing was very heavy. "This is going to hurt, bu ti must flush the poison from your system the best i can." sticking my hand on her stomac, i was the confused look on her face, i couldnt explain. In my deep thoughts i held my hand in fist agaisnt her. Then i pretened that it would be liek the inpact from a punch, i took my fist and slowly put it towards her stomac liek a punch. When fully tochign i sent a burning acid sensation into the system. She coughed and chocked. She woudl puke many times, flushing her system it takes days to recover from this but it was the only way. When finished with this i gace Zia a clothe. "Throwup in this when you cant reach over my horses body for the ground, your going to throw up many times. Dont try and stop yourself." I turned away tryign to get back into the task of finding this weed.

Zia choked, a burning acidy sensation flooding up from the pit of her stomach to her throat. Then, eyes widened, she scrambled off the startled equine into the bushes, were she emptied her stomach contiuously, for 10 minutes straight. Suddenly she stopped, the bile at a hold for now at least. She looked up and saw that she was alone. She wiped her mouth on her sleeve drowsily, and took a deep shaky breath.
As quickly as it had been held at bay, the bile rose once more and Zia bent over the bushes and retched.

Seeing Zia scramble away, i was startled not quite sure what to do, i needed to find the plant. I knew this as i looked at Tari who was turning pale and barly spoke. But Zia had run inhead of them which was good, because that was where they were going, as long as she ddint move wed reach her. I wouldnt yell tellign her to stay it woudl attrack beats, i knew Zia was in no state to protect herself. I just walked searchign for the plant. Tari at my heels.
We moved closer to where i couls sense Zia, but the seaching for the plant was helpless. I looked to the warthog tracks which i followed, being skilled in tracking. They were in circuls and loops but i continued. But now we stayed from Zia as the tracks did. "Andruin find Zia me dear, let her on your back" I was scared for my horse for this was dangerous. He wouldnt loose me though, he coudl always sense me and i him, always beign able to find me, as soon as he found Zia he would easily come back to me. I hassned my pace as Andruin ran off, i needed to hurry.
((lolz this reminds me soo much of lord of the rings when frodo is stabbed on weathertop, and there in the forest with all the black riders out, heheh))

Zia chokes, spitting out the last of the vomit for now, and glances up at approaching hoofbeats. Seeing it is only Seriena's horse, she gives a tiny sigh and stands shakily up using the mount's withers for support. She strokes the horse's muscular neck with a severely shaking hand, eyes out of focus and slightly dialated. She knew the elve's owner was currently out risking her neck to find a certain herb, along with the bandit, and wished she was right alonside them. How could I have been so stupid as to have drinken the wine...[i/]
Suddenly, a loud crash from the thick trees ahead snapped Zia to attention. 5 large, vulture-like creatures with dagger-like talons and fangs swooped down upon them. Zia's mule and Seriena's horse reared in unison, both wild-eyed. The mule clearly being the weaker of the two prey, the bird-like beasts landed upon the poor thing's back, sinking it's claws into the hide. The creature clawed and tore at the equine's legs and haunches, giving deep cuts and welts. Zia shrieked, and picked up a branch unsteadily, and took a swing at the birds. She might as well have been a fly. One the beasts leaned down and punctured the squealing mule's neck, and then gave a sharp twist with the powerful beak. Zia screamed, tearing her throat in two, and released a large ball of green-yellow light at the bird. Though small and not powerful, the ball had a positive impact for Zia. The birds shrieked, and rose unsteadily into the air and out of sight. Zia gasped, and staggeredd over to her bloodied mass of mule. She dropped down next to it, and stroked her neck, tears welling in her eyes. This was the last good thing Zia had..the one friend she could count on...dying. It was obvious the mule was in much pain....she would never be healed. The wounds she recieved were turning an ominous black, looking much like a rotted tar.
Zia gave a dry sob, and reached for her glass sword. She bent down, whispered a few words of elven tongue to ease his passing into the next world, and aimed the sword for the heart. She shut her eyes, and plunged the dagger into her faithful creature's body. The mule gave a squeal, and fell silent, eyes glazing over. Zia removed the sword, silent tears coursing down her cheeks, and bent over the dying equine's chest, muttering words and stroking the thick and unruly mane.
((whoo...long post, at least for me))

((im crying over here Zia, such passion..jk. that was good))
I became troubled senseingthe pain of Zia, i could do nothing for her, so far anyway now. The best thign for her was to get on Andruin who would get her too me quick. Tears spilled from my eyes, as my connection with Andruin sent me thoughts of violence and fear. I knew Zia felt helpless. It was soo difficult to keep going, even for myself i was tierd. From giving speels from sendign away a part of me, from feelign the pain of my friend and horse. From a long day before all of this. I only coudl think Zia get on my horse, get on my horse. I continued as the forest of thicker i put of the torch in fear of causing fire. I hoped Tari coudl see as well as i in the dark. I would have set a speel of light that didnt includ fire, but i didnt have it in me. I moved forward till i herd water, a stream. I only looked threw the clearing. And jumped back. A large herd of boar fest on the Ganole which grew by the river. I would never be able to get any. I still thought about Zia i needed her help for this.

((i figured it was time for the mule to go..i couldnt remember his name o.o i mean her name..i think))
Zia sensed something, something urgent and asking in the echoes of the trees around her. She stood up shakily, and rose in the air, her massive wings propelling her onward. She felt easier and lighter at heart and mind when she was in the air. She flew towards what was the apparent heart of the call, and landed ungracefully. Back on earth, her head started to pound viciously, her eyes began to swim out of focus, but she walked haltingly to Seriena's form.

I saw Zia beside me. I put my hand on her shoulder hoping she would be able to do this. "Zia look through the clearing" she did and saw what i had seen. "I have a plan, I can send a large ball of fire from my hands, and i believe you can do somwhat of the same thing. We will both do it at the same time, hopefully scaring em off. Then i want you to fly out and cut a large piece of Garnole wiht this" i pulled my dagger from my boot, handing it to her. "Then i will run out and guard you incase they come back, hopefully Tari will help me. Tell us when youv got enough then we will bolt back into the forest before they come back, and hopefullly Andruin will be back and you will fly and tari and i will ride on our mounts." I waited for some ressurance. While calling andruin to me.

The faerie gave a small and slow nod. Then, what the the elve said struck her. "I..my..Luna my mule is no longer in this world," she said hoarsely.
Before Seriena could respond, Zia stepped backwards and away from her. She raised her hands, and summoning a parcel of strength, formed and molded a large yellow-green ball of light. Once it was rather large, the faerie threw herself forward and released the orb. It rocketed towards the small gang of hogs, and struck them with a loud CRACK. The beasts squealed and scampered in different directions away from the clearing. Zia immediately leapt up into the air, and swooped down low to snap a large sprig of Garnole. She kicked off into the air and flew back to the elf, and staggered to the ground once more. Her eyes were watering ferociously, and the intense ringing in her ears made her drop to the ground. The faerie then dry-heaved a few more times, then stumbled up and handed the elf the herb.

Riding aimlessly through the thick forest i admitted to myself that i was lost. I was angry at myself for putting kingly my steed in this mess as well. As stoppped on top of a hill, useing my night powers i saw 5 figures. Two i was sure were elves, a horse, a mule and a fearie. Happy to have found somone who could perhaps lead me to a village. I stopped noticing the agony of the situation before me. They looked very distressed and then i saw the weridest thing. The fearie let out a ball of fire then the boars festing scattered from the river. Why would they be scaring these inoccent animals? I noticed some of the boars were running towards where i stood. Taking two of my arrows i shoot them both in midair. Then trotted down to the people. "Hello I am Kataleana, I have foolishly got my self lost amoung this place new to me." Seeing there oblessly distressed faces i wondered if they could help me, they seemed to be dealign with a seriuis situation. "Why were you frightning these helpless creatures?

Zia glanced up from her spot in the bushes, her eyes wild and ablaze.
"Stay out of this, girl," she managed to choke out before doubling over and retching saliva.

Surprized somone would just butt in to our very seriuos conflict and ask this question. Esspeaially when she was lost in the deepest part of the most dangerous forest. I was beign overloaded with problems. Tari looking even mroe pale now seemed to smile at the fact that we had gotten the Garnole, or that Zia had. I needed to thank Zia for doing so, she reacted so fast i couldnt even help her get it. Now when she was doubling over i knew she wouldnt be able to fly to the healing hut where she would need to stay for a few days. I didnt need to help more people, but i did need her horse. I looked at Zia and picked her up and placed her on Andruin who has now returned. "I am in no place to help you, but if you realyl need our help, you will give us your horse and ride with Zia on my horse as you let Tari and I ride your horse. You may follow us to the village. Don't be slow we need to get back." I said harshly to the interupter. I grabbed the Ganole on the ground and placed it in my saddle bag.

No need to be so harsh about it i thought to myself. But since they were going to help me i was going to do as the elf said. "I will give you my horse" i said well sighing and nodding. "And dont worry i wont burden your ride." I dissmounted from my horse who was bareback and passed the reins to the elf.

I sensed the humuns attitude towards me but i couldnt care less what she thoughts. I grabbed the riens and passed them to Tari who feebly got on. I then directed Kataleana to my horse telling her to get on. "Get on my horse behind Zia, dont let her fall. Once your on wait till i lead" I said as i walked to her horse, the reason we needed to ride Kataleana's horse was because he was bareback having space for the both of us. Zia and a humun would be able to side on my horse. I mounted and i sat infront of Tari, so i could steer the horse. Taking its riens i waited for Kataleana to get on.
