@Ace of flames01 I made Octavia cry out in pain, I hope that was okay! Lemme know if you want me to edit it, boss!

“Prickly, aren't you?” Naya quipped while raising an eyebrow at the demon, but she's already crawling forward, brushing the young angel’s scarlet hair out of her face and studying her closely. The frail looking creature is littered in all manner of gashes and her gurgling breaths did not sound promising in the slightest. The witch reaches forward, gently feeling at the the angel’s ribs. Her fingers brush over each one, applying pressure as she traveled downward--

The wounded woman’s face twists up in agony and she emits a pitiful keen. “Sorry, little dove,” Naya softly murmurs to the angel, pulling her hands back quickly to avoid causing any more distress to the beautiful creature. Broken rib then, but just the one it felt like. Still, it wouldn't do to leave it much longer, lest it puncture a lung. Naya moves on, inspecting the wings and concluding one was broken, the other possibly sprained.

“Princess!”

The brunette’s head jerks up, raising an eyebrow at the naked man who had finally decided to wake up. The witch is confused by the term princess, but she doesn't have time to dwell on it now, not with the other woman in such a critical condition. “I'll patch her up, man beast, just stand back.”

Naya pulls her grimoire out, flipping until she gets to the very back of the book and stopping when she gets to ’To Mend Bones’. Her green eyes study the runes before she nods, pulling her dagger free and pausing for a moment. She didn't have all of the ingredients required, so it would take more blood than the recipe originally called for. After a moment of hesitation Naya digs the tip of her dagger into her own forearm, dragging it down until a generous amount of blood began to burst forth.

She dips her finger in the crimson liquid and begins to draw the runes. One on the angel’s forehead, one on each wrist, one on the chest, and finally one on each wing. As each moment passes Naya’s hands begin to shake more and more, the feeling of magic vibrating under her skin to the point that it is almost painful. The witch dips her finger into her blood one last time before pressing it to the angel’s lips.

Everything whites out for a moment and Naya can’t see anything at all.

When she comes back to herself the witch is bent over the ginger woman, her breathing labored as she tries to get her breath back. She reaches a trembling hand up and feels at the angel's ribs again, pleased to find that they were no longer broken. “You next, prince,” Naya pants, holding her mother’s dagger, hilt first, towards the demon. “Just a couple of drops should be adequate. It’ll heal up any damage to her lungs.”

“I can't fix her wings without a sacrifice. So you can either fetch me an owl or wait till we get her back to the shop,” Naya informs, going to stand up but the overwhelming feeling of vertigo keeps her down. “W-when you're done take my s-pant-scarf and bind her wings down t-to-gasp-immobilize them.”

Gods, she was gonna be sick.

@Ace of flames01 XD *Waggles eyebrows right back* I'm still hoping @Monochromatic will come back and my Naya x Re'Mane ship can be reborn...

...but I haven't seen him in a while. D:

Now I can't be part of a tragic phantom love story where Naya eventually sacrifices herself to make a spell to give him more time on earth.

Now now, salt is cruel. You think it hurts to have salt rubbed into a wound? Try your soul.

@Gate Keeper

Best way to keep ominous wraiths at bay. ;)

@Narcotic Dollie I'm so sorry! Had it written out on the computer then boom. No data left, have to rewrite it on my phone now

@SouffleGirl123

Don't worry, now Carson can come to and see his princess all beaten up and be appropriately outraged! ^.^

@narcotic dollie I got the feeling Naya secretly has the hots for the prince... What say you?!

@Ace of flames01

I mean, he's a handsome man, sure, but she's never even spoken to him before today! It's a little early for her to have the hots for him, don't you think? :P

“What have we here? A lost lamb and her sheep all alone in the forest?”

Naya jumps, hand flying down to grab at her spear, but she relaxes almost instantly when she realizes that the creature that had snuck up on her is a phantom. Her blade would not affect such a creature, so it was pointless to draw it. “I am not a lamb, nor am I lost, spirit,” she grumbles, turning back to the fire and fishing around until she finds her smelling salts. “Have you come on friendly business, wraith?” The brunette queries, deft fingers popping the top off the flask as she begins to pour a circle of salt around her and the naked human beast.

There is almost not enough but she makes it, just barely. The smell of lavender is so strong now that it is almost cloying and Naya begrudgingly adds mixing up new salts to her growing list of things to do today.

The wraith seems to lose interest fairly quickly after that, whether it be from the salt circle baring her way or genuine boredom Naya can not be sure. “Goodbye, little lamb,” the dark figure rasps before shrieking and bolting off into the distance, her shadows disappearing into those of the hemlock trees.

“Tcht,” Naya clicks her tongue, glaring off after the wraith as she pokes at the man creature’s haunches with the end of her spear. “I am no lamb,” she murmurs to no one in particular.

“I am a fox.”

It's been a few hours since the wraith made its ghostly appearance and the stranger has yet to wake up. Naya is beginning to consider just dragging him out of the burdock thicket and leaving him for the damned bears. She can't wait much longer for him to come to, even if she wanted to. This forest would be teeming with all sorts of ominous creatures once the sun went down and the witch wasn't exactly looking forward to fighting them all off.

An eerie fog has descended on the Deathwood, making it even more difficult to peer through the ancient trees than normal. Naya throws another branch into the crackling fire, chewing absentmindedly on a newt she had just skewered and grilled, when the sound of footsteps draw her attention.

“Hello?” The witch calls, green eyes peering into the fog until she makes out a figure approaching her bonfire.

It's the crown prince. Naya would have known him anywhere.

She'd only seen him once before, when she was a little girl and her mother brought her to the capital after being summoned to return the sight of one of the king’s trusted advisors. Naya had been eleven winters old at the time and the young princeling appeared to be around her age, standing stoically next to the king with his midnight wings folded down. His verdigris eyes had met hers for just a moment, so pale they were almost colorless.

They were not the sort of eyes that were easily forgotten.

“Prince,” the brunette nods, swallowing the mouthful of newt. “Your ginger friend does not seem to be faring well,” she comments, her gaze shifting down to the bloodied angel in his arms before she looks back up to meet his eyes again. “I can set her wing and stop the bleeding, but I don’t have the ingredients for much else out here,” Naya offers, before nudging her booted foot against the naked man lying next to her. “I can mend her better at my shop, but I can't have this one dying in my burdock thicket and attracting the frost bears,” the witch explains, scowling at the last bit.

“Damn beasts eat everything. They’ll clean out the whole glen after they finish picking this one clean,” Naya huffs, before continuing, “I can carry that one for you, if you’ll get this one for me.”

The witch remains seated, waiting for the dark prince’s decision.

I'm making one. Gimme another hour or so!

@Ace of flames01 Octavia may or may not have to drink a metric butt ton teensy bit of witch blood. And possibly some demon blood, if the good prince will lend you some! After all, demons and angels are just different sides of the same coin, so what better way to mend the ethereal than to use a little devil blood? ;)

...and there might be animal sacrifice. I'm thinking a nice owl.

@Sarcelle Renard Oh thank God, I thought I was gonna miss all the action. I'm ready, put me in coach! I'm already thinking up spells...

@Ace of flames01 It's gonna be so gross. You'll hate it. Or love it, depending on whether or not you're the kind of person that likes to make their characters endure weird things. :P

@Gate Keeper I feel so bad for Kelvin! He gave his life to the service of the light kingdom and now they shun him! D:

Children of Light and Darkness at War: Can Love Bloom on a Battle Field? (Still unsure of the title) (no longer active)

If the prince was going to use her to end the war, he was going to need to employ the services of a witch. Quickly.

@Sarcelle Renard

If you run across Naya on your retreat she'll patch Octavia up enough that she doesn't bleed out all over you. And then maybe you can help me lug this werewolf back to the shop and we'll call it a win win! ;)

Of course, you are her prince. It's not like she's gonna tell him no. XD

@Meiyuki You know, the children of darkness would never blame you for following the orders of royalty....
*Inserts even more shameless dark side propaganda. Is not even sorry.*

*Whistles and wiggles toes* All this action and Naya is just over here building fires and waiting for nekkid men to wake up. XD
