Fitheach Treats Kathena

Jaekob Faolan sits quietly at his desk. His energy is still spent. Kathena is resting - well, unconscious. He picks up a quill and writes a quick note, "My Druid Sisters, Kathena grievously injured and in infirmary. I fear she will not survive this attack. - Jaek

Jaekob Faolan folds the note, duplicates it and gives them to the apprentice healer. Take these to a guard, one for Fitheach, one for Fiesty. Hurry now."

Fitheach Eun walks into River City, early for market but feeling restless.

Jaekob Faolan pushes the papers off to the side and lays his head down on the desk.

Fitheach Eun: Strolling along the waterfront, she encounters one of the guards running swiftly towards her.

Fitheach Eun: He stops, out of breath, and shoves a piece of  paper into her hand.

Fitheach Eun scans the note and takes off running for the infirmary.

Fitheach Eun: Slamming the door open, she see Kat unconscious on the table and Jaek collapsed at his desk.

Fitheach Eun: Checking Jaek briefly, she finds he is breathing and possibly asleep and walks over to look at Kat.

Kathena Mavendorf moans softly in her sleep, her breathing still ragged and shallow.

Fitheach Eun thinks she looks terrible, with great bruises and puncture marks on her throat and her breath is barely there.

Fitheach Healing Kathena

Fitheach Eun: Seeing the druid's bowl on the floor, she surmises that he exhausted himself trying to heal her.

Fitheach Eun rummages in her bag and pulls out her small silver bowl, filling it with water from one of the pitchers

Fitheach Eun: She pushes away the frantic feeling that it is too late and sets down the silver bowl; reaching first for the bowl of water and bandages she sees nearby.

Fitheach Eun: Crushing some yarrow and echinacea into the water, she washes the deep puncture wounds carefully, trying not to cause any more pain.

Fitheach Eun winces on seeing the wounds more closely and bites my lip to keep from crying about Kat's condition.

Fitheach Eun finishes washing them as best she can and treats each one with the drawing salve to pull out any infection that might be beginning.

Fitheach Eun: She smears comfrey salve on the bruises and places a soft cloth over the wounded neck.

Fitheach Eun stops and takes a deep breath to steady herself.

Fitheach Eun picks up the silver bowl again and stares into the water, focusing on it and pushing away her concern for Kat.

Fitheach Eun: Slowing her breathing she concentrates on each breath...out and in...slower and slower sending a silent plea to the elements for aid.

Fitheach Eun: "Spirits of the water, of the air and earth; spirits of fire...lend me your strength; help me to heal my friend."

Fitheach Eun continues to focus on the water shutting out all else and reaches out calling for the element spirits to aid her.

Fitheach Eun: "Sisters of the water, earth, air and fire; join with me to heal Kat, please send me your aid."

Kathena Mavendorf feels inner warmth within her body start to work its way through her entire body. Her breathing becoming slightly more stable and deeper.

Fitheach Eun: slowly the water and the bowl begin to glow with a soft green light which rises and swirls around the unconscious form on the bed.

Fitheach Eun: Enveloping Kat in a hazy cloud.

Fitheach Eun can feel her energy slipping away and sinks to her knees but continues to focus on the bowl and the elements.

Kathena Mavendorf moans softly, but doesn't wake. Her breathing now regular and steady.

Fitheach Eun: the mist begins to fade and Fit slumps against the side of the bed and sets the bowl down with shaking hand.

Fitheach Eun leans back against the wall exhausted.

Jaekob Faolan stirs, making a little sound, oblivious to what has been going on. He is beyond exhausted and unlike reverie, he has no awareness.

Fitheach Eun looks at Jaek with concern because he is so still but does not have the energy to go to him or to check Kat.

Fitheach Eun looks up and smiles feebly as Fiesty charges in.

Fiesty Lotus: "Sister - I just got the message."

Fiesty Lotus: "How is she?"

Fiesty Lotus looks down at the prostrate form of Kathena In the sickbed.

Fitheach Eun looks up, barely able to raise my head; "I do not know...I hope she is somewhat better."

Fiesty Lotus fusses over Kats form- taking her pulse and feeling for  her breath.

Fitheach Eun whispers tiredly "and Jaek, he is very still, maybe unconscious, too."

Fiesty Lotus looks wildly around.

Fiesty Lotus: "The Druid Master is  sick?"

Fiesty Lotus runs to the Master and takes his pulse also.

Arch Druid Fiesty Lotus

Fitheach Eun  whispers:"He is breathing but has not spoken since I arrived. Kat seemed much worse so I went to her."

Fiesty Lotus lifts his eyelid and sees he is alive.

Fiesty Lotus: "Ahh- I see he is quite spent."

Fiesty Lotus: "We should let him lie and leave him to recover . He is quite resilient, I have seen him on the battlefield."

Fiesty Lotus returns to Kathena.

Fitheach Eun whispers slowly.."Yes I think he will be fine with rest and food."

Fiesty Lotus nods.

Fitheach Eun: Fit's head slides back against the wall and she collapses completely.

Fiesty Lotus: "And Kathena?"

Fitheach Eun does not answer.

Fitheach Eun starts awake slightly and mumbles.

Fiesty Lotus: "Oh my dear."

Fiesty Lotus: "This has been too hard on you."

Fiesty Lotus: "Let me try to get her to take some of my special  painkilling  potion."

Fiesty Lotus: "It may ease her pain."

Fitheach Eun comes more awake but still drained and whispers: "The elements answered; I hope Kat is more stable?"

Fiesty Lotus administers the potion - stroking Kat's throat to get it down.

Fiesty Lotus: As she gives it , sip-by--sip.

Fiesty Lotus croons,  "Sleep and  rest in your soft bed."

Fiesty Lotus: "Sleep and feel no pain."

Kathena Mavendorf swallows it down softly feeling her throat stop burning as much. Her face relaxing as the pain subsides.

Fitheach Eun sags back again smiling, knowing Fiesty will take care of Kat.

Fiesty Lotus sends to the spirit of water.

Fiesty Lotus: "Soften the pain and heal the throat , I beseech thee Spirit of Water."

Fiesty Lotus croons to the  sleeping Kat.

Fiesty Lotus looks up.

Fiesty Lotus: "You get some rest Druid Sister"

Fiesty Lotus: "I and the Nurse assistant will watch over both of them."

Fitheach Eun smiles again and leans back more comfortably against the wall, slipping into reverie: "good night, my sister..."
