Morning came mercifully slow the next day, and the sun seemed more lazy than usual as it peeked over the mountains edge . Its light pouring over the treetops causing a green stained glass effect to ripple across the ground . With that beautiful glow, came Kyera's consciousness, returning to her for the first time in several days . As was normal, her senses came to awareness before her mind or eyes opened . Touch, taste and smell seemed to bombard her, having been in silence for so long .

Warmth spread over her from beside her as well as the light weight on her body . A blanket… she realized after a moment . The lack of taste and the dryness in her mouth made her want water but her sense of smell dominated . Warm fae like woodsy scent mixed with the fire and essence of medical herbs filled her mind . It was familiar but oh so out of place .

AdvertisementAs her eyes opened she noticed a man sitting nearby, focused on a little bowl in front of him . He was muddling together herbs that she could have recognized, but she didn't try . Details were not her focus at the moment . She was more surprised to see Half Eye sitting so stoically beside her, a smirk on his face . She shifted . It hurt and she stopped .

"Kyera, I believe I warned you last time to pay more attention and be careful . How on this earth did you allow yourself to get to this state?" Shaman Half Eye demanded, settling his eyes on her . Kyera sighed looking back at the old man . He was genuinely concerned and Kyera knew that but just now… she didn't feel like being scolded like this .

"Half Eye . Please remember in public I am your student but in private I am still the daughter of your Master . " Kyera reminded him as she shifted back into place . "that being said, any sign of his shadow?" she asked glancing up at Half eye almost hopeful .

He hesitated to respond . She needed closure and that sliver of doubt to be pulled from her heart, but he didn't want to lie . "No… I am afraid neither body or soul has appeared since . It is possible he chose to cross over . "

"No… he wouldn't do that . He wanted to dance in the moonlight here, as a guardian of the forest . " Kyera replied shaking her head . Those long night talks and gentle lies were something she was certain of . In death, he would walk the earth .

"I see . I will keep looking . However, you really need to stop getting hurt . Your father is going to falay me alive . " Shaman Half Eye warned her as he poured hot water onto the medicinal paste . Kyera's nose wrinkled at the acrid and sour notes . She has a feeling that cup was going to be bitter and sharp with no way to avoid its flavors .

"I am aware but if I had not, I would have disobeyed my oath . " Kyera replied, reaching for the cup . She drank it back in one gulp . Her expression twisting as the leafy past at the bottom landed on her tongue imprinting its flavor into her mouth . She swallowed .

"Yes but your oath is not the law . If you bend it a little nobody will care . " he replied with a deep sigh . Sometimes she was just too stubborn to understand .

"That isn't true, I would care and my opinion matters most . " Kyera replied as the medicine began moving through her system . The infused shadow energy mixed into the healing properties of the paste took away the sources of her pain . Within fifteen minutes she could sit up and stretch .

"Have it your way then, stubborn . " he replied shaking his head at her . He would never get through to her… no matter what he did . She was loyal and true unfortunately those were her two main characteristics and could be said as a compliment or a curse though more strongly as a curse .
