Lord Dragoon

Knights of Dawn

Hmmm... Yeah, I got nothing to say here. TO THE IC!

"T-That's good to hear," Catiel responded, a small relieved smile forming. When Sun acted like ten bottles of medicine isn't a lot, she could feel her eye twitch in irritation. Seriously? Most fatal wounds only take somewhere within the range of 5 or 6 bottles, ten is usually reserved for someone who's half-dead. Sighing in exasperation, she waited until he was dressed, wondering what next. When the healer mentioned the crash, she found herself wondering just how smart that thing is, yet again. However, she was promptly snapped out if her thoughts when Sun grabbed her hand and led her out. Surprise from the sudden movement quickly gave easy to her calming herself down to put on her mask, noticing that a couple people were staring. To her surprise, they just got back to work. No comments? No threats? Nothing? Confused, she didn't make any moves to stop her more energetic friend (a thought that gave her a warm thrill whenever she thoughtof it) in his tour.
When she was handed the bread, she stared at it. She's seen people eating these things, but she never really got to try it, since she never really had the money to buy food, so she had to hunt for it and saved what money she had for clothes. After a few seconds of somewhat awkward silence, she took a bite of it. As she hadn't eaten anything since they went to the cave, she was indeed really hungry. So, it didn't take long for her to finish.

"Eh?" Catiel blinked when the crab suddenly shoved her out of the way. Staring at the dire crab's work, she couldn't help but wonder how many times Sun's gotten himself into these kinds of situations. She was snapped out of her thoughts when the crab snapped its claw at her, at which point she saw how it was picking up his upper half. Getting the message, she grabbed a hold of his legs and lifted. Figuring the crab probably knew the way to the nearest healer, she let it lead.

Sitting in the corner on a chair was Catiel, fidgeting uncomfortably looking kinda timid. "G-Good morning," she stammered. It's nothing the healer did, it's just that she was feeling nervous being in the same room as more then one human. The fact there also happened to be a lot of sharp pointy things, in the form of needles and blades for when the healer actually has to cut something, also wasn't helping her nerves. Aiming a nervous glance at the healer before looking away, she looked less like a fighter and more like a child who is worried that they were in trouble. "H-How are you feeling, a-any better?"

"O-Oh," Catiel muttered, feeling a little embarrassed. Ugh, now she probably looks ungrateful for him trying to help her, despite the fact he's not in the best shape right now. "Well, I guess since I'm up anyway, I'll try to carry you the rest of the way," she said. "So, get some rest. Alright? I'll take care of everything for you." As if to prove her point, she pushed herself off the ground and dusted herself off. Noting the state of the bandages, she sighed. Sadly, as she lacked actual medical knowledge, she can't really do much more about them then replacing the bloody bandages for clean ones. Even then, it would do nothing about what might have gotten into it.

Her brain, half-asleep, slowly processed what was going on. First thing, she was sleeping a second ago. Second thing, someone was shaking her. Third and finally, someone was touching her in her sleep.So she did the first thing her brain could think of, try to shut up whatever was bugging her. By shoving her hand in whoever-it-is' face. Grumbling about noisy humans, she sat up and yawned. Blinking her eyes open, she dimly noted that, oh, it was Sun. She huffed, crossing her arms. "What were you doing? Hasn't anyone ever told you that it's not polite to wake someone up when they're having a good dream?" She questioned, feeling a little miffed that what seemed to be the first memory of her past she's gotten back was interrupted.

The little girl watched, nodding in understanding. So, she has to make it quick, and put more power into it then before. Pulling out an arrow, she notched it and pulled it back as she let magic flow into it. Not really sure how much power she had to use, she just took a guess. And considering the slight wave of magic that rippled across the surface of the arrow once, which she didn't notice until she unleashed the arrow. There was a little more spin to it then when he showed her the technique, but in the end it essentially fulfilled the same role. That of being like a bullet. Upon seeing it go through the target like when he did it, her face lit up in excitement. "I did it," she cheered.

Catiel smiled when he patted her head, nodding before watching in anticipation as he demonstrated the skill. While it was a simple technique, for her young five-year-old mind it looked beyond cool. Needless to say, she excitedly nodded at him when he asked if she thought she could do it. Aiming at the target, she started to imitate him. Like him, magic flowed out of her and into the arrow, slowly saturating it. Releasing it, the arrow flew true. However, she didn't put enough magic into it and the arrow lost both its glow and the extra piercing power mid-flight. As such, by the time it reached the target it was just a normal arrow. "Awwww," she whined, pouting. Not one to give up, she drew another arrow and tried again.

She panted, exhausted as all hell. With what little energy she had, she stumbled over to him and bandaged up the wound. It was a really sloppy job, the job of someone who doesn't have much time to do a better job. With that done, she muttered something about paralytic venom, before falling over and passing out. As the queen's nervous thrashing about slowed down to twitching and eventually stopped altogether, Catiel just laid there. Too tired to care about the cold stone floor, she peacefully breathed in and out. In her sleep, her mask dropped entirely as her worries slipped away for her sleep. And as she slept, she dreamed.

Five year old Catiel smiled as the arrow hit the target, spinning around to look at the precious someone in her life. "I did it, ___," she couldn't hear the name. The name just escaped her, no matter how much she tried to grasp for it. But what she could grasp was the feeling behind around the other person gave her. Familiarity and comfort.

Seeing this, Catiel grit her teeth, trying to kill some more drones as her mind frantically tried to figure out how to help him. Don't get her wrong, it's not that she wants to help or anything. She just didn't want it on her conscience if he were to die, that's all. "Definitely not that," she muttered to herself. As she killed a drone, she felt a dull tingling in the back of her head. Blinking, she slowly felt something forming. A concept, an idea, a memory... A skill. Swinging her leg out to kick a wasp in the face and then kill it, she drew one last arrow and took a deep breath. "Focus on the target," she mumbled, aiming at the queen's head. "Create the image of the desired outcome." An image of an arrow going clean through the giant wasp's skull flashed through her mind.

"Channel the magic into the arrow." Magical energy started to flow around her erratically, from the ground, the air, from her, and into the arrow. The shaft of the projectile began to glow, spreading into the tip and the feathers. Pulling back the arrow, she unleashed the projectile. As it left the bow, a small shockwave was unleashed as the overcharged arrow was freed of its owner. As it soared at the wasp, erratic spiraling lines trailed behind it, originating from the arrowhead. Normally, this simple skill would only add some kick to a shot, but overcharged as it was, the arrow took on a different property. That of a drill. Sensing the danger, the wasp queen turned to see what the cause was. And as a result, the arrow went clean through one eye, and drilled its way through its head and out the back, taking out a good dozen drones that were hovering over it. Screeching in pain, the queen stumbled as its drones frantically started to fly away, fleeing the ones who caused so much damage to their matriarch. Watching, Catiel panted as she noticed how much energy she put into that shot.

Killing a few more wasps swarming her, the elven archer noticed how Sun's spells seemed to be getting weaker. This is a really bad time for him to start running out of magic, especially since his weakening spells were doing little damage and were mostly just annoying the queen while more wasps came in from somewhere. If they could kill the queen, the wasps would probably panic and become too disoriented. But first, the swordsman needs to get a hit in on the main body. But how... "This is probably going to be the dumbest thing I've ever done," she muttered as she ducked under an attack. Aiming at the queen, she unleashed an arrow. A second after the arrow left her bow, a wasp tackled her. Standing over her, it tried to stab its stinger into her head, and she barely managed to avoid the swift sting. After it tried a couple times, she kneed it in the head to disorient it, and then kicked it off her. Scrounging for her bow and an arrow, she shot it in the torso to kill it.
As she was fighting off that drone, the arrow hit the queen in the side, making it buzz it irritation as it turned its head to glare at the one who shot at it... Giving Sun an opening.
