Maren and Elyra were watching as Gun'tar ran with William and Salem was with Malcolm who had been stabbed. They split up Maren ran to William as he was closer to her. She gave him her hands on his back and she told him [color=fff79a]"Take my energy as much as you need William. If you die we all die."[/color] She dragged him into the trees nearest them. 

Elyra had to dodge arrows and she saw Jamie covering them so she had to tackle Salem's attackers on their blind side, knocking them off balance and giving Salem a chance to fight. Malcolm was in bad shape with a stab in the chest. [color=0072bc]"Malcolm, Can you hear me? Give me your wound or at least enough to keep you alive. Salem help me get him into the bushes out of the way."[/color] Elyra said to him as she started dragging Malcolm. She only had a few things on her. 

[color=0072bc]"Please give me the strength and knowledge to do what he needs from me."[/color] Elyra tore open his shirt and located the ribs and determined that he was lucky. It missed the heart and the lungs, it was higher up. She tore her skirt, what was left of it and she took the knife out of his shoulder and filled the wound with the cleanest part of her skirt she pushed the dressing onto the hole and then she took one of the leather ties off of her cloak and tied  the longer pieces closed around his chest and shoulder. 

Elyra ducked and pulled him into the forest more since he was still visible. [color=0072bc]"Malcolm don't you dare die on me."[/color] Elyra had to get to the caravan. She needed her supplies. She covered him with part of a bush she found nearby. [color=0072bc]"I'll be back!"[/color] Elyra said darting around the camp til she got to her bag in the travois. 

Grabbing it she ran back to Malcolm. Undoing the wrap she took the skirt pieces out and she poured alcohol onto the wound and all around it and her hands. Carefully she checked the inside of the wound and she applied something to the inside of the wound and then she sewed it up quickly and covered it to protect it. 

Elyra covered him back up and she looked out to where she had seen Maren and William and she followed the drag marks. When she got there she found that William had been shot with an arrow in the chest. She told Maren where Malcolm was and told her to go protect him and stay out of sight. Elyra looked at the wound and turned William on his side so she could determine which way was the best to get this thing out of him. 

Elyra realized that she could break the head off and then pull it back out of his chest. That way she could keep the grooves on the back end from making his wound worse. She had trouble getting the arrowhead off. The elf noticed that it was forged with a metal tip on the end. Shoving her hair out of the way so she could see, she finally got the end off and pulled the arrow out of him. Then it was a alcohol bath for the wound and more of the antibiotic on the inside and then she dressed it. William was not doing well. Once the arrow was out his body started draining her automatically. It was a defensive mechanism in his body. Elyra was getting woozy and she fell across William as her life force drained from her.
