Kail led Silence through the small garden that was a mismatch of flowers, vegetables, and weeds that the kids thought were pretty, and to the back door of the Nursery. She opened it as softly as she could, not wanting to alarm anyone with their appearance. Of course, if Razz had made it home alright everyone would already be alarmed.
When she reached the bathroom door she peeked inside and saw Sky Feathers and Goody Gumdrop, trying their best to climb up to reach the towels on the top shelf of the linen closet. A soft laugh and she let go of Silence's hoof and walked behind the two fillys. "Need some help?" she said with a smile, "or do you two big girls have the situation under control?"
She hadn't thought that perhaps she might look a tad bit scary. Not as bad as most of the ponies that came from the square of course, as she had no visible wounds, but her mane and tail were matted with dried blood and dirt, and most of her body was a dark maroon color with flakes of blood starting to peel off as they dried. Her wings looked like they had been dipped in maroon paint on the ends. Even her face was half-covered in blood. She must look a fright.

Star Dasher nodded her head. Then a sudden fear struck her. Before making an attempt to grb the second arrow, now with a hoof, she asked:
"Razzaroo, they are´nt poisoned, are they?" She was worried for Razz´s health. At the same time, she felt bad for her own sake. What a coward she had been! If someone knew anything about causing pain, it was her. Instead of sleeping until this late hour, she could have been there to help Razzaroo. But now she was repaying him in another way ... a more painful ... for them. But at the same time, she was picking on herself too hard. After all, she had been in the square last evening, whitnessing death. It was´nt that strange that she had been up all night. She did not fall asleep before the it was four in the morning. And not to mention, she knew deep inside that she could have done nothing to that unnatural, black shade...

"It's under control!" Gumdrop sang happily to the sea green peg as she went by.
But when kail was out of sight, she stared up at the towels.
"You climb up and get the towels."
"How?"

Sky was startled by Kail. She looked up at her and then away, haunted. "Up on my back," Sky Feathers whispered, a bit impatiently. She stamped her little hoof.
...........
"Poison?" Razz hadn't even fully considered it, but yes, it was making sense. The Mystic had saved him. And another. A dark filly. One he'd never met before. The poison was like fire, but had cooled with her touch. "If they were, it seems they were countered on the field."

Silence glanced around at the flowers as he was led in. Normally such a sight would make the colt smile with happiness, for he was very easy to please, but not today.
As they entered the foal sat on the wood floor and looked over Kail's bloodied body. It made him fell sick inside because it reminded him of the corpses on the battlegrounds of the square. His stomach churned and his limbs felt weak.
He was pretty dirty and scratched-up himself, which made him feel a little embarrassed in front of the other foals. He looked older then them. It was odd how fast he had been growing, nearly a year or two ago he was a newborn the size of a stallion's hoof. Now his head was almost reaching an adult's shoulders. It was the god in him, but he' never know it.
Feeling ill mentally and physically the colt wandered off on his own toward the corner of the room. He folded his tattered wings tightly against his body and curled up in a cat-like ball and tried to rest. He didn't want to deal with anyone right now. He was hurting from the cold, hard truth of his father's deceit. He felt tears swell but he held them in and turned his head toward the wall, so no one would see his face.

Nodding as the two children went back to work getting towels, Kail led Silence into the front room of the nursery before she saw Razz and Star in the kitchen.
Face turning a bit pale, she finally let go of Silence's hoof. One arrow was out already by the purple mare, and although he was bleeding freely Razz seemed to be doing ok.
"Need some help?"

(Oh yeah, on her back! *snorts* duh! I'm such a ditz! xD )
Gumdrop climbed onto the filly's back and put her front hooves on the shelves. She reached, stretching her limbs as far as she could, and managed to grab the edge of the towels. She began to wobble dangerously, and then fell backwards, bringing the towels down with her.
She picked herself up and began to arrange the towels back into a pile. "C'mon." She said as she picked up the towels and made her way back to the room Razz was in.

As a seagreen peg entered the kitchen, Star Dasher let go of the second arrow and looked up. First she was stratled, but then she understood that the blood was dried. There was a battle at the square - of course there where more ponies that was hurt besides Razz. She had been seeing this mare the night before - she worked here.
"...I don´t know." She looked down at Razzaroo, and then back to the pegasus. The purple stallion was still smiling. "But you´d rather know about wounds, eh?" Star Dasher was´nt sure. But if you were working at a nursery, you´d had to have at least some experience of wounds, right? At least she remembered the nannys in her childhood helping crying foals.

Kail gave a soft, mostly humorless laugh at Star's statement. "Yes, I know all about wounds." More than her fair share Kail would say. "If you want to pull those other two out I will stop the bleeding on this first one."
The peg tilted her head and studied Razz for a moment. This would be the slightly tricky part. Usually Kail just wrapped her wings around someone and healed all parts together, but she couldn't heal the wounds over the arrows that were still in, then they would just have to reopen them and pu thim through that much more pain. But if they didn't stop the bleeding on the hole in his chest fairly soon Razz would probably loose too much blood.
Frowning, she decided the best thing to do would be going about things in the old fashioned way. As the two fillys entered with the towels, she thanked them and pressed one to Razz's chest wound. Once the last two arrows were out she was going to give him the biggest hug she ever had, and get him all healed at once.

((Razz really is the prince charming.  Go Kail and Razz! =3 Aww, If Star recognised love, she´d be unhappily fond of Razz ... becuse he´s Kail´s!  )) Star was slighlty surprised of hearing the pegasus laughing, just like Razz had done at the wounds. But she shrugged inwards; to deem by the blood on her face, she seemed to be used to this. Star Dasher did´nt ask. The second arrow, stuck into Razzaroo´s back, were nearly out when Star Dasher nodded her head and returned to it. So she pulled it out quickly the last bit, uncomfortable over the thought of Razzaroo´s pain putting her ears towards her neck. It was only the arrow stuck in his leg left now. Kneeing on the floor, the purple mare soon got it out. "There," she said, happy that it was over. It was a very strong emotional thing to pull weapons out of someone´s body. She got a towel, ready to soak the blood up with it. She hoped that the pegasus knew magic in some way, for healing him by ponyhoof would not save him ... but the confidence on the peg´s face made her calm. ((Aww, I want the wedding! *Jumps up and down with a 'squeet' noise* Do I hear the wedding bells ring? A wedding would be soooo romantic! And to make it dramatical, the pirates could appear in the middle of it...! Aww, I know! It´s too early for that... =3)) |

(LOL, Whis you are so cute  The Pirate storyline would be a little too soon for weddings for these two I think. They just had their first kiss two IC days ago Kail watched as Star pulled the second arrow out without flinching. As the wound began to bleed she felt a pang of guilt (she was sure she would never get over the guilt) deep in her chest at having been the cause of his wounds. She grabbed another towel with her free hoof and pressed it to that wound as well, bringing her into a slightly uncomfortable but very close possition to the purple stallion. But even if she had blushed no one would have known, since her face was already red with blood anyways. As the third arrow came out and Star pressed a towel to it, Kail dropped both of hers (they were soaked through with blood anyways) onto the floor of the kitchen and wrapped her wings around Razz so he was mostly hidden from view. She was still kneeling on the floor next to him, and she did indeed give him a big (but very soft) hug with her forlegs around his chest and her head pressed against his shoulder. A warm rush of energy left her body as she started to hum the dolphin's song, and the green stripe's aura flowed to Razz, mingling with the indigo stripe that was already present within him. The healer started to shiver as the warmth of the stripe left her body and she remembered that she hadn't slept in well over 24 hours. The hummed song was barely audible over the chatter of her teeth as waves of chills swept over her, corresponding to the waves of warmth and healing she was sending to the stallion. She wasn't going to let go until Razz was healed without a trace of the wounds Kail had inflicted. |

((Aww. Just invite Whis when it´s happening, ok? ) Star Dasher backed away as the peg wrapped her wings around Razzaroo´s body. A low humming was coming from her, and then there was a flash of light. No, there were two! One green, glowing around the pegasus, one purple, slowly growing more intensive around Razz. A chill runned down her spine. The humming sounded so beautiful, so - so confident. It was the confidence Star never had felt in her childhood ... Waking up from her daydreams, she tossed her mane and picked up the three arrows. She was on her way to throw them down the garbage. |

Playing a game of tag with her invisible My Little Human friend (she had named her invisible friend Ellison), Sherbet ran around the corner of the hallway and stopped short. She wasn't terribly surprised - somehow her most vivid imaginations of Kail were with her wings wrapped around somepony or another and the dolphin's song (which the filly nearly had memorized by now with all her own bumps and bruises that had needed healing) echoing in the background. What surprised her was that it was Razzarroo being healed.
She tiptoed closer so she wouldn't interupt and saw immediately all the blood on the ground and on the two of them, the now-red towels sitting on the ground next to them.
"What happened to Razz?" she whispered to the foals next to her.

"Looks like he got hurt badly in a fight I should have helped prevent." In his normal manner, Dark stood on the ceiling in the kitchen, this time at a spot that Kail would have seen him apper so he wouldn't scare her and throw off her healing. Still, he overheard the foals and answered them before he gracefuly fliped off the ceiling and landed on his hooves rather than his head; A certainly new change in the ninja.
His scarf was pulled down from his face, his mask off as well. Still, the scar between his eyes stood out like a sore thumb, while he grabed a chair and calmly sat, allowing Kail to finish before he bothered talking to her. *At least she's okay... I'd hate to have Bella or Karma visit and know that she was hurt. I know I'd be angry if anything happened to her,* the Ninja thought to himself.
Oh sure, he must look really scary to the kids... But if he was able to get Kail to laugh when she was their age, he was certain it'd pass quickly. He had that effect on kids.

Sky Feathers felt Gumdrop falling back off her shoulders and took a tumble herself as the towels came falling down. Laughing at herself, she helped Gumdrop pick the towels up. She followed her back out into the dining room and nodded to Sherbert and then Dark, though she had to turn her head nearly upside-down to do so.
----
Razz felt faint from the loss of blood. He sat quietly with his eyes closed while the mares treated his wounds. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he was having a fantasy. He felt the warmth of Kail's touch invading him.
Willing to be conquered by it, he felt his strength and love growing while he basked in the green light. This emotional rush caused a flicker of violet light in return. Razz shivered in the joyous moment, as if in full rapture, but only in his mind. His body was calm and still and he could feel love pouring into him and nourishing him. He knew then, had it been 1000 arrows, he would have walked the earth to find Kail and aid her and love her all at once. Somehow, he would have found a way. He opened his eyes. They were soft and shimmering with tears.
Through his connection to Kail, he could feel her thoughts and likely she had a sense of his. He wished he could alleviate her guilt, but knew it would never fade entirely. His open devotion might always put him in harm's way and give her cause for grief. It was not grief he wanted to cause her, yet knowing that someone cared this deeply for him was terribly comforting and made his spirt flare. If it meant being with her, he accepted these risks with glad joy. Death was insignificant if it meant he could protect her and all he loved.
Stay with me, Kail. Stay with me and I will love you forever. I cannot promise you a life without pain, but I can promise my great love to help you live it. And that's the thing about love, Kail. Even when I am gone, you will still have it. And when life is done with both of us, we'll ride rainbows until the dawn of a new time. And there will always be love.
(And just think, after they get married, they can have kids. lol.)
