Iceshadow awoke to the sound of birds and the feeling of sunlight on her face. She smelt blood right when she woke. it was mixed with the smell of healing herbs. She opened her eyes and looked around. On the other side of the camp where a pallet was. Right near to it was a river the man from last night was bent over the water rinsing a deep cut in his rib cage. Her eyes noticed redness around the edge of the gash. A tell tail sign of coming infection.
He was muttering about orc blades. Ice sat up and he looked up from the wound. "Your awake?! A normal person would have slept for at least another hour. " He shook his head. "But I shouldn't be suprised." Ederoi bandaged up his ribs.
" Was that from the orcs?"
He looked over and nodded.
"It's going to get infected if you don't watch it carefully. I can see from here, your going to need the Piraela leaf soon. The wound is already redening.
"Little stars" he translated. That's a powerful herb he gently touched his ribs again. But i can see that you are right." Ederoi watched her as she moved.
Iceshadow got to her knees and noticed that she was only a little bit wobbly. She looked at him. "You are not the only one with the knowledge of herbs." he said answering her unsaid question. He smiled as she reached for her weapons on put them on. She left her cloak off due to the tempeture of the air.
"So... Why were you following me?"
"I was trying. And i had been for at almost the whole month. I swore to you master if anything happened to you i would look out for you the best i could. "
"But why would you? How did you even know my master?
"I did because i promised. And I knew your master since he was a small child. the same was for him. Shang was my twin brother."
The news hit her like a hammer. Then she smiled. "Are you anything like him?"
He smiled evily "We were the terrior of the city the elders never new what to do with us."
" That sure sounds just like him." She smiled remembering. Then she looked at him sternly. "You need sleep so that cut doesn't get infected. " Ice made a shooing motion with her hands. I don't seem to be tired and i can walk I'll watch camp. Also that will give me a chance to find that herb."
He nooded at the logic. "Alright" he grummbled. Less than half a minute after he layed down on his pallet he was sleeping deeply. She looked at him with magic. As she thought the wound was poisoned. She shook her head and walked over to him quietly. Ice dipped into her magic reserve and touched his ribs. Ederoi groaned softly in his sleep. Ice just ignored him and using Fire she burned the poison out. Water, Earth, and Spirit blend together. She touched his ribs and the magic flowed through her into the wound. Without the poison to contend with she did not have to use as much magic. Ederoi slept through the whole thing.
Ice smiled as she nearly fell over. Once she gained her balance she stood up and looked around. Still smiling she thought to herself that he was gonna have a surprise when her woke up and not have and wounds. Ice cleaned herself off and sat behind a tree listening for any movement that was out of place. She would have more luck at this moment hearing something coming. Trees would block her sight.
