Dragonic Touch (Lycan Only)

Elathon nods, pushing himself to run faster, but still trying not to jostle her too much.

Phoenix shifted vaguely in his hold and closed her eyes. Any pain felt, she channeled around to keep herself awake really.

Elathon starts to slow as the forest becomes denser, the twinkling of water can be heard a short distance away.

Phoenix kept her head on his arm now, eyes closed. She only barely shivered once every few moments. A small cough escaped as he slowed and she cracked one eye open absently.

Elathon, pushes his way through a bush, and ends up in a clearing, the far side of which is open to a river, a single weeping willow stands bent crookedly over the flowing water.

Phoenix shifted and turned her head slowly as he did, looking at the willow with a faint curious flash in her dulled eyes.

"This is where he lives." Elathon says quietly walking towards the tree, when he gets halfway he shouts out, "old man! Come out! Your wisdom is needed!"

Phoenix vaguely nodded and stayed still. She stayed still as he spoke, watching the tree and around it, keeping her mind off of her chest.

A figure steps out from underneath the willow, he is just as crooked and has long hair covering his face, "in other words the youth has failed, and needs experience to pick up the pieces," he says hobbling over toward the pair, Elathon moves over to greet him. He bows awkwardly due to having Phoenix in his arms, then says clearly, "Willow, this is Phoenix, she's been hurt and I can't heal her."

Willow looks at her, "hmm, and you guessed I could, lucky for her I can. Place her under there." He points to a gap between the roots of the willow and the ground. Elathon obeys silently.

Phoenix didn't really react much, just watched interestedly. She shifted faintly as he bowed, inclining her head tiredly in a type of bow. She glanced to Elathon as he moved, shifting again once she was set down and lowered her hand away from his shoulder.

"I'm sorry," Elathon whispers, "he won't let me stay while he works. But I shall return as soon as possible." He stands up and bows to Willow again then leaves.

Willow simply nods and walks over to Phoenix, placing his hand on her forehead, "now, lets see what we can do." A flow of warm energy spreads out from his hand.

Phoenix's lip twitched but she nodded to Elathon. Off of an odd notion of her mind, the pain, or her weak state, possibly all, she hugged his hand dizzily before he left before letting go and closing her eyes. The touch of his hand made her twitch and she glanced up, shuddering at the flow of energy and she lowered her hands away from her bloody chest

Willow mutters something as the energy, rather then flow in all directions, begins to head towards her wounds, in varying amounts, the wound in her chest recieves the most, but none are left untouched, and as the energy flows it seems to knit the wounds back together, weaving her body back until it is "whole" once more.

Phoenix vaguely winced as the bones started to form back from shattered or snapped. The bleeding slowed and her eyes fluttered shut vaguely. Internal wounds that would have been fatal loosened and she relaxed slowly, coughing once or twice a bit.

Willow stays silent while he works, then he stands, and sighs, "I've healed all the physical wounds, but there is something else wrong, and I can't even begin to heal that. But you will live now, goodbye." He turns and begins to hobble away.

Phoenix shuddered and opened her eyes. She paused and sat up, the ache still there but thousand times better. She looked to him and stood tiredly, stumbling once. She uttered a thank you after him then looked around slowly with a sigh.

Elathon appears at the edge of the clearing, Willow had called him when he had finished. Now he stands away from the river his head tilted slightly to the side.

Phoenix stared at the ground in thought for a long time, absently brushing some dried blood off her cheek before she looked up, focusing on Elathon then down a bit again before carefully walking over to the river.

Elathon now moves, slowly following Phoenix to the water's edge.

Phoenix paused a bit, a few feet from the edge then glanced to him again, a vague smile before she bowed a bit to him. "...Thank you...again..."

Elathon rubs his head, "I couldn't let you die, it's just not right." He grins a bit, and blushes slightly at the bow.

Phoenix smiled again and straightened, turning her head a bit at the blush to hold on softly to a tree.

"Well, I'm glad to see you better anyway." Elathon says turning to the river slightly.

Phoenix nodded a bit then thought and glanced to him. "...are you okay? ...remember healing during the fight, but..."

"I'm fine, I can suffer quite a bit of damage." Elathon shrugs, "I think it's because my form isn't completely fixed."
