With the Enerawyn's hands now bound with non-flammable chains, Fenryn returned his attention to Lynnette. He made sure she was still alright. She had a slight temperature and so he dabbed a cold damp cloth over her forehead. He still could not wake her up, however, and this worried him. Her so-called 'brother' did not seem to be willing to help Fenryn at all with any information. All he got from the other man was a few glares here and there. The guard that had been knocked out not long before, was now recovering in one of the rooms down the hall.
“Look,” Fenryn said while glancing back towards the other man, “if she really is your sister, you have to help me. I don't know what magic you used, but you have to wake her up... cure her, or something.”
The man glared at Fenryn again but said nothing in response.
Sighing deeply, Fenryn now moved over to the man and knelt down in front of him. “Hate me as much as you wish, I do not care, but your sister is important

As the first fireball eliminated a group of bandits, Vaughan knew that the tide of this battle would finally go his way. He had kept on Asher's tail for the most part of the fight, but Zhen had done what he could to keep his leader safe. Despite not being as skilled with his left hand, he still put up enough of a challenge. It wasn't until Vaughan's blade was engulfed in flames, that the bandit became nervous and distanced himself a bit. Arias had been told to go straight into the town with some of the other men and women, but he had seen an opportunity to help Vaughan first. The two shared quick and subtle nods of greeting before Arias hurried onto his own task. He and some of the others had been given the honour to protect the King should he need it. It had been a direct request from the King, or so the roughly written scroll had ordered. Arias had felt a little honoured that either Fenryn or Vaughan had asked for him by name, but he hadn't let it go to his head either.

With Lynnette moved into another room, and her socalled 'brother' placed in the villages stocks; Fenryn moved swiftly to the edge of the village. He watched the last of the battles take place before the bandits finally retreated or surrendered. He was glad that the scroll he had sent to the Guild had brought the mages to the battle in time, but had wished they had gotten here faster. Either way, he was pleased that his side had won. He could see Vaughan returning to the village now and Asher was being pulled along by an escort of Knights. Fenryn was relieved to see Vaughan was alive and well. He met the man halfway and tried to fuss over the Knight Captain. He wanted to make sure the man had not been hurt at all. “I am fine, your Majesty,” Vaughan said as he tried to hide the pain he was in. He offered the King a small smile, then turned to face Asher and the Knights, “take him to the stocks. He shouldn't cause any further problems, now that I have stripped him of a

Back in the home of one of the villagers, Teo confirmed what Asher had told Vaughan and the King about the types of venom and herbs used. She also confirmed that such a mixture would only be incurable if it had been left for more than a few days unattended. Luckily it was a mixture she had come across before and thus was able to use magic to slow down the venom in Lynnette's body. It would take her a day and a half at the very least, but it could be done. Doing so would give Lynnette more time before her life would be in mortal danger, but it was not a cure. Wanting to give Teo some space and the quiet to work on helping Lynnette undisturbed, Fenryn ordered no one else was allowed to use the house until further notice. In the meantime, Fenryn had Vaughan in the only other bedroom available to them. The smashed window had been patched up with wooden planks and so the only light within the room came from a few candles dotted about. “Come on, Vaughan. I've seen you topl

Only an hour had passed before Teo and Vaughan joined Fenryn in Lynnette's room. She seemed to be in a deep sleep, nothing more. However, Teo's look was enough to tell Fenryn that it wasn't good news. She sat on the edge of the bed and ran a gentle hand along the sleeping woman's forehead. “I can only delay the venom without further damaging her. We need to lift the spell before we can remove it completely.” She offered softly. “So Asher really did tell the truth about this,” Vaughan said with a sigh. “And the only cure is in the Lightmist woods, in the hands of a clan of Enerawyn that will not be easy to find.” He glanced to Fenryn. He was glad that the King hadn't shunned away from him at all. However, Vaughan noticed that Fenryn hadn't said much to either of them. He wondered if it was out of worry for Lynnette or something more recent the King was thinking of. “I can give you three days.” Teo was now saying, “any more than that, and the venom within Lynnette will

Moving once more through the wood with the wolf pup in hand, Fenryn wondered how Lynnette was doing. He hoped he could find her clan in time, and convince them to return to the village with him. He could only pray that they would trust his word and go with him. He tried to think of a compelling speech that would be enough to win over her people, but anything he thought of sounded forced. The pup in his arms had settled down to sleep, and he couldn't help but think that she was adorable. However, he knew that she wouldn't stay so small and cute for long, not if she grew to be as big as the rest of her pack. He wondered if there were others like her pack in the world. So much was unknown about the Lightmist woods, and he was unsure if anyone would ever know more about them. Shaking such thoughts free from his mind, Fenryn returned his thoughts to his mission. “Do you think the Fae are watching us?” He asked the pup but expected no response. “Lynnette said they helped p

Morning couldn't come quick enough for Vaughan. He had been up all night with worry. His bruise had healed well enough that the apprentice that Teo had ordered to tend to Vaughan's needs was happy enough to leave him alone now, but he had been given strict orders, not to overexert himself at all. That did not mean he had listened, of course. He paced the edge of the woods for the best part of the night, even though he knew Fenryn would not be likely to return so soon. The other half of the night he spent his time checking on Lynnette. She seemed to have lost quite a bit of colour in her cheeks since she first had been hit by the spell, but she was still alive and he had to be thankful to Teo's skill for that. Naturally, all this worry kept him from any real sleep and now he had less patience for those around him. Most of the Knights kept their distance from Vaughan, for fear that he would force them into some unreasonable training exercise. Only a few people braved g

The morning sun had not yet disturbed Fenryn from his sleep. The little wolf was curled up next to him, her ears twitching every so often as a fly landed on them. The two seemed quite happy to stay asleep all day, but the unicorn had other ideas. He had woken up before dawn and for a time, he wandered about the area of the woods that they had stopped to rest in. He had taken the moment to feed himself and to watch a small family of foxes playing. Once they had returned to their den, the unicorn returned to his new companions. Lowering his head, the unicorn prodding Fenryn's cheek with his horn. The man grumbled something or other that included another human's name, then rolled over onto his other side. The unicorn made a disgruntled noise before it decided to 'walk' over Fenryn and 'accidentally' hit the King's head with his hooves. Fenryn woke with a start and sat straight up, startling the pup in the process. “What-what was that!?” He almost yelled as he looked aro

Another whole day passed by before Fenryn saw the familiar shapes of human buildings. The mist had almost lifted entirely during the journey back to the village, though he never once saw another Fae during that time. He was curious about it, but the clan leader named Athera gave no explanation on the matter and merely smiled at him. Fenryn wondered if the Fae merely knew without communication, but he could tell that he would get no answers. At least not from Athera. He wondered if Lynnette would explain it more to him later.If she survived...The clan seemed overly nervous when they reached the edge of the woods and Fenryn could tell that they very rarely came this close to human civilisation. Some of them seemed less afraid, but not by much. He wondered if those had a little more experience than the others when dealing with humans, but it couldn't have been much, especially when comparing them to the Malruthiia.He attempted to calm them down, but no matter wh
