Beloved Ones, A new beginning...

[akiraa]

(Well Akira can't help that she doesn't know how to track birds, since I don't XD Poor Akira, getting docked a bit cause my lack of info, but I couldn't even find it on the internet!)

Akira quickly made it to where she could see Delano, surprising herself at her stealth. She was also, by instinct, up wind, the wind blowing her scent the opposite direction of Delano and Raven. She didn't snap a single twig. She then saw how injured Delano was, and quickly snuck up behind him, as soon as she was directly behind him, and Cat noted in the exact opposite direction Raven was currently looking, she ripped a long piece of her outfit off and tied it around Delano's arm, trying to do as he told her about just how tight to make it. Cat quickly went to Raven and said "In my opinion, she did well for her first time. Depending on your judgement as well, I'd say she passed." You could tell Cat was tense from talking to Raven for the first time in ages. She then sighed and said "We... We need to talk when you and Delano are better, if you will let me..." Cat was now nervously shifting her weight from one front foot to another, afraid that Raven would reject her. The only reason she hasn't talked to him yet. Akira sighed at Delano and said "I.. I don't know what to do... I can't carry you myself..." Cat then sighed and said "Allow me to help..." She then made a loud yowl that echoed through the forest, alerting the others that there was an emergency and to get over here. She hoped they would be smart enough to bring their beloved ones.

Eagle finally made it to Akito when he heard cat's yowl. He quickly said "Snap out of it Akito! I'm taking you with me, there seems to be an emergency." Akito gently shook his head to clear it, before stumbling up. Eagle then said "Wing's out!" As if on cue, Akito's wings spurted from his back. Akito again looked shocked from the sudden eruption of them without him even thinking about it. Eagle just pushed on and said "Fly, and follow me!" Akito quickly did as he said, flying after him.

--

It took only a few minutes when Eagle landed to see that Delano and Raven were injured. He looked between the two and saw that even with Akira's tourniquet that Delano was still bleeding pretty bad. He smiled, something to hopefully redeem Akito just a bit. He quickly turned to Akito when he landed and said "Tap into what you did when you almost suffocated Delano when you were scared, but focus on his arm, and don't make it to much. Just enough pressure to stunt the bleeding. Akito, still in shock just a bit, simply nodded and did as he said. He tried his hardest, and soon he was able to slowly increase the pressure around Delano's wound. It took a few more minutes, not as fast as it could have been if he had control and was still not thinking it was just a coincidence, but soon the pressure around the wound was at a pressure that stopped any more blood flow. Eagle nodded then said "Hold it there!" Akito simply nodded, eyes wide and not trying to bolt from being around two other people, not to mention the man that looks like HIM and he almost suffocated. Eagle nodded then said to Raven "He passed. He showed a different emotion other than just fear for the orphanage runner, whom Delano looks a lot of like, when your beloved ones sister had a drawn snake bite him. For this kid, that is all I wanted to see." with that Eagle quickly flew off just a bit, finding some vine and moss. He flew back and quickly tried his best to put the moss on Raven's wound, and then tie it on with some vine. It was rather hard with talons, but he soon had it close enough in his opinion. Even if Raven was an outcast, they couldn't have one of their own dying on them.

(And it's okay, your small post still somehow spurred this huge one XD)

Raven looked like he was about to blow up. His feathers were puffed out and he pulled away from Eagle. He drew a slow breath that sounded eerily like a death rattle before picking up to book again and scribbling like he had gone mad. He made two small ticks and slammed the book shut. A slight glow passed over the book and faded again. He staggered a little but quickly regained his balance. Raven seemed to be in control of himself again when he hopped over to Delano. Delano looked slightly better than before. He opened his eyes and offered a tired smile to Akira. He was rather uneasy with Akito there, stil not having completely forgiven him. "Still alive? Good, we'll do it again tomorrow." Delano chuckled weakly and shook Raven off.

Ariana skipped on to the scene and stopped. She looked from the small puddle of blood on the ground to Delano's pale face. There seemed to be an odd emotion welling up behind the confused innocence. She looked from the blood to Akito and something seemed to snap. Owl could sense the tension building up in Ariana and felt that she was going to reach the breaking point. She moved to a bare spot in the ground and began drawing wildly. Within moments, an enormous black horse reared on its back hooves, pawing the air. The horse was skeletal, its ribs clearly visible, but it seemed no less powerful for it. Its eyes were glowing red and occasionally flames burst out of its nostrils. Delano half expected it to start breathing fire. The nightmarish creature trotted up to Delano and waited for him to manage to get a grip on its back. It started walking back, as tame as a puppy dog. Ariana followed, humming softly as she walked. She turned her head around to look at Akito and offered him a friendly cheerful smile that was more dangeIrous than the most chilling glare. For a moment, her eyes flashed red and she looked just as demonic as she had looked angelic before. Owl was taken aback. "Drawing illusions now are we? Very good! Let's see that again when no one's watching." Ariana smiled smugly and she seemed to become more childlike again. She realized Akito was probably just trying to help, but she couldn't stand to see him close to her injured brother again.

Delano winced, jostled by the movements of the horse. Things began to blur and he indistinctly saw flames consuming a small hut. He saw Ariana holding out a white bow decorated with a simple blue ribbon. Things that were real in the past began to mix with snipets of the future. He didn't see much of the present, focusing on trying to sort out what was real and what wasn't. Exhausted, he drifted back into the state of half awake.

Akito yelped. He now had a new fear building, a fear of that girl. Eagle sighed and shook his head. The pressure around Delano's wound disappeared from Akito's fear, and him being carried away. Eagle looked at Akito and said "I think that is enough socializing for one day..."

--

Cat seemed startled at Raven's reaction, thinking it was directed towards her mostly. She made a whimpering sound and quietly said something around the lines of "I knew he'd reject me..." Before padding over to Akira. Akira was looking rather stunned, but quickly ran off after Delano and Ariana. She might not be the best 'doctor' but she still wanted to help the best she could. Akito was forgotten at the moment. Not to mention Akira also had a slight dislike to the child so far. She quickly yelled "Ariana! Please wait up! I want to help! You're not mad at me right?!"

(Seriously, is there anyway to get Akito on people's good sides again? It WAS an accident XD. Also was Raven's reaction towards Eagle or Cat or both?)

[Frostmourne]

((So sorry for abandoning this. Raven is mad at everything including himself and I have no idea about your first question.))
Ariana turned around and smiled sweetly; the demonic horse halted along with its creator. "Of course not." she said in a singsong voice that seemed to suggest that she was upset. She seemed to catch sight of Akira's tourniquet and promptly ripped it off. She instead kept pressure on the wound despite how much pain it seemed to cause Delano. What was that woman thinking? Tourniquets were meant to completely cut off blood flow and shouldn't be used for a few minutes at the most. If blood was restricted too long then they would have to amputate the entire limb.Owl seemed surprised by how much she already knew about medicine. It seemed that from a family of politicians had come two doctors. Raven watched Cat with apathy and little else. It was as if all positive emotion had long died in his heart. Delano wondered what had happened between the midnight black bird and the rest of the animals.

[akiraa]

Akira frowned as Ariana ripped off the tourniquet she made. She was sure she messed up... again... Akira caught up and said "S...Sorry... I'm not a doctor... I was just trying to help..." She shuffled her feet a little her ears and tail appearing, both down showing just how sad and nervous Akira was. She had a feeling that Ariana was upset of mad at her. Why, she wasn't sure. She was trying to be friends with them... maybe they just didn't want friends? Cat looked at Raven, then looked down, sniffling. She was thinking Raven hated her. He head every right to, he probably though that she hated him already... Why didn't she talk to him sooner? Her tail was dragging on the ground now, ears down, but not back in anger, just down in sadness.

Eagle sighed then turned to Akito and said "Let's head back to camp, but avoid Ariana, Akira, and Delano. Akito nodded, and started walking diagonally forward, to where he was walking towards camp, but away from the three... and the demonic horse... His face was back to being blank, showing no emotion whatsoever.

(It's okay. And alright XD Well then I'll try my best! He needs help or else he'll never have any real semblance of normal. The poor kid... I'm mean to my characters XD)
