[IC] Fallen Angel [Jett Ryu & Luna]

[Miraboreasu]

Aban spat the chewed leaves into his hand, his mouth, tongue, lips, and gums numb. "Numbweed'll help," he said, gently massaging the paste into her feathers and skin. He set to work breaking the branches correctly, tying them to her wings, and covering them with cloth. "Should heal quickly. If you don't mind, could you turn around? I'm going to change out of my armor so it's easier to travel."

[Luna]

She nodded and turned her back to him again so he could do what he needed to do. "So where will we go with my wings healing we cant exactly go into town my wings will get me killed as well as you"

[Miraboreasu]

Aban stripped his armor off and changed into a simple outfit: black boots and pants, a white shirt, and a black, hooded cloak. He left his ax, preferring a simple short sword with a sapphire in the pommel. "We can wait for a while," he offered. "Stay hidden until all of this dies down. Travel at night."

[Luna]

She nodded. "Thats a perfect plan we should find a place like a cave or a den of some kind so we can hide during the day and hide at night" she said to him

[Miraboreasu]

"Yeah," said Aban. He hefted his pack. "We can hunker down until nightfall somewhere. Search for a cave, or just camouflage ourselves with branches in a thicket." He checked his dagger and handed it to Iliana. "Just in case."

[Luna]

She took it and nodded before walking a little and stopping she started to concentrate on something and then turned to him. "I sense a river with a cave just towards those cliffs its about 3 miles away"

[Miraboreasu]

Aban was surprised. "You can sense that?" he asked. He gave a "huh". "Well, you are an angel. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I'll take the lead."

[Luna]

"Of course I can sense it even as a fallen angel my powers are not taken away unless...he takes it away from me" she looked up at the darkening sky sadly before looking at him. "Come one it will be dark in less than an hour"

[Miraboreasu]

Aban nodded, taking the lead. Some time passed before he stopped to consider how Iliana was doing. "Are you okay?" he inquired. "Do you need a rest?"

[Luna]

"I am fine and I could use some rest I had a rather...painful day and I want to try sleeping it off" she said softly, they were only about a half mile away from the clearing she sensed

[Miraboreasu]

Aban sat down, taking his canteen from his bag. After taking a drink, he offered it to Iliana. "Well, we can take five, can't we?" he asked. "This makes me think of a song my mother used to sing to me."

[Luna]

She nodded and sat down taking the drink he was offering. "I dont remember my mother all I can remember is my time up in the heavens" she said taking a drink before relaxing against a tree.

[Miraboreasu]

"I see," said Aban. "I'll sing it for you, if you like." He thought back to the last time she'd sang it for him-- the night before she passed away. It had been hard, but he'd known she was going to die. It was something that he'd had to accept eventually.

[Luna]

"If you wish you can" she said to him closing her eyes leaning her head back against the rough bark of the tree she was laying against the pain was still numbed on her wings so she wasn't affected by it.

[Miraboreasu]

Aban cleared his throat and sang quietly.

"One life is not a long time
When you’re waiting for a small sign
Patience is hard to find
Shadows seem to fill your life
Don’t be disappointed
Don’t let your heart break
Don’t spend another minute in this way
It’s okay

Dry your eyes now, baby
Broken wings won’t hold you down
You’ll take flight soon, baby
You’ll be lifted up
And you’ll be there

Twelve hours is a long night
When you’re searching with no hope in sight
Aimless on the inside
And the dead moon makes you want to hide
I know that it seems pointless
I know that it feels fake
I know you can’t stand the thought of being a stray one more day

Dry your eyes now, baby
Broken wings won’t hold you down
You’ll take flight soon, baby
You’ll be lifted up
And you’ll be there"

[Luna]

She listened to him and smiled. he had a very beautiful voice. She waited until he was finished o speak. "Wow that is amazing" she said.

[Miraboreasu]

Aban blushed slightly. "She'd sing it to me when I was sad or sick," he explained. "She wrote it for me, because my father always called me his little dragon."

[Luna]

She nodded "I dont remember at all...I been dead for who knows how long" she said playing with her hair.

[Miraboreasu]

"You've been dead for so long you don't remember your family?" asked Aban. "What happened to them when they died?"

[Luna]

"I dont know I haven't seen them since I died" she said to him
