I ran into two lizards today on Captain Planet--big ones. They attacked in a pair and they were really tough to kill--about twenty feet long from nose to tail, and they had some kind of crystalline-looking spines all down their backs.

Ice magic works well against them. But keep an eye out. I haven't run into any of their friends yet, but that's no ( Read more... )

ouch, random encounter get, light warrior, uh oh, on guard, lezard's a jerk

Cara, do you need help?

The bridge is a little bit tricky.

What bridge?

Between Stuff Inc and the Access Point. I think I went the wrong way.

I'll come find you.

Thanks.

[ooc: quicklog works! He'll find her sitting next to the bridge. She went the wrong way and picked the LONG one, which doesn't even go directly to Wellspring.]

[It takes him a little while to find the bridge Cara spoke of, because of how much everything has shifted around on this level. He locates it at last, and Cara herself, sitting nearby, and hurries over.]

I'm sorry, Cara, it took me some time to find you. Are you unharmed?

[She smiles and waves at River.]

Yeah, the new map is still throwing me off too.

Um... I'm kind of harmed. The lizard bit my leg pretty hard--I healed it mostly, but I walked a long way and I just need someone else's shoulder for this bridge.

[She manages to stand up slowly. There's a rather bloody bite mark on her right leg, but it's not actively bleeding.]

Of course. Let me help.

[When he gets near her he realizes he can sense the injury--or maybe it's just that he smells the blood? He isn't sure. He glances down at the bite wound on her leg, then stops and focuses on it with an intense gaze. It had a sense of wrongness about it, like a tangled knot, something he feels almost as though he could right, if he could simply tug the threads straight again. Like he did in his dream.]

Cara? May I try to heal it?

Thanks.

[She watches curiously as he stops and stares at the bite, wondering what he's thinking.]

Oh--sure, of course! I didn't know you could do that.

I think I can. [He hesitates.] Do you want to sit again? I'll just try, and if necessary I'll take you to Wellspring.

Okay--that might be a good idea.

[She sits down again carefully, her hurt leg out in front of her. She's not worried; he's a dragon, so even if he hasn't practiced in a while it won't be bad.

Also, despite his being a dragon his human form is small enough that he probably won't try to actually carry her. Now that she isn't feeling horribly lonely anymore, pride is more important.]

[River sinks down to one knee, gazing at the wound on her leg. He does know how to do this--he feels more sure of it with each passing moment. Something as small as this is simple...a matter of commanding rightness, wholeness. Words rise in his mind and he speaks them in a hissing breath.]

By the wind and the water within thee...

[He passes his hand through the air above her leg, sensing the wound come together.]

[She watches as he kneels down and remembers the spell--the words of it aren't familiar to Cara, but the effect of the magic is unmistakable. The lingering pain from where her own healing chakra stopped vanishes, as though it's been washed away, and she turns her leg a couple of times without any more problems.]

Wow... thanks, River! That's some kind of healing spell.

[She smiles and gets to her feet.]

You're welcome.

[He watches her turn the legthis way and that until he's satisfied that it causes her no more pain, then he gets to his feet. He smiles.]

Thank you...thank you for allowing me, Cara. I think I have discovered something significant about myself.

[She hops on the leg and grins at him.]

Hey, you don't need to thank me. But... I'm glad you remembered. It's always nice to be able to remember part of yourself.

[She looks out across the bridge, which is a lot less intimidating now.]

I should probably go to Medical Island anyway, just to get it on paper that it's healed... and get cleaned up, too. It feels good as new, though.
