OOC: Thanks Nimrod, I am here now, making my post number 1000!

IC: Cayso tried to free himself but then he recognized Ecco, so his breathing became slower. As he relaxed all the pain from his wounds began to attack him, just like Longtail, so he closed his eyes. - "It... really hurts." - He then opened his eyes again and told Ecco. - "You can release me now... and you are really squezing my arm where Longtail bit me." - Cayso really tried to make a smile, and as Ecco released him, Cayso sat down, closing his eyes again in pain. - "How is Longtail doing?"

Cyrix sighed as he turned to Cayso and answered "Longtail has feinted from his wounds, his wing is torn and pulled out of its socket...I'll have to push it back in. But I think the worst wound is his neck...it's almost swollen shut...making breathing for him difficult."
Cyrix sighed again and said "But I don't blame you Cayso...Longtail always was too willing to push himself to as close to the edge as he could. I suppose part of it is my fault."

Chiletrek · **Reply #542 on:** September 09, 2008, 06:22:32 PM

"It was my fault as well..." - Cayso replied - "... I was looking at Longtail and how he was loosing control and getting more and more focused only in the match, that I let myself do the same thing, until it all went out of control." - Cayso gave a deep blink, as he shed a tear due to the pain of his own injuries. - "I never meant to cause that damage to him, I'm sorry."

Mim and Littlefoot returned a bit tired from having been running around and gathering things. Mim had her hand on Littlefoot's back to help keep the leaves & Other things form slipping or falling off. She also held a few flatish stones in her other hand.

They walked over to where the others were and Mim put the rocks on the ground first then started to remove a lot of the stuff Littlefoot was carrying and putting them into ordered piles.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #544 on:** September 10, 2008, 12:08:02 AM

Cyrix nodded to Cayso as he replied "Longtail and I have been practicing so he doesn't loose control like that...but I see now that when he's fully recovered we'll have to step up that part of his training!"

He then nodded to Mim and Littlefoot as he said "Very good timing you two." He then wiped away a tear of his own and smiled as he said "Now which leaves and herbs are for making one numb? I'd like to get this over with...even asleep this will be unpleasant...even for Longtail."

he turned again and asked Cayso "Do you need any of the numbing plants for your wounds."

Chiletrek · **Reply #545 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:00:35 AM

Cayso opened his eyes again and turned to see Cyrix once he finished making the question. - "That's very nice from you, but you can use them all in your nephew, I will wait my turn to get my wounds healed." - Cayso would have liked some of those herbs, but he knew Longtail recieved far more damage than him, but his own wounds are painful too, specially the bite in his left arm and some of the whipping he recieved during the match. - "I may like something that may help stop the bleeding in my left arm, the bite reached my scar and it is always difficult to make it stop bleeding."

Nimrod · **Reply #546 on:** September 10, 2008, 01:19:10 PM

Don¥t worry Cayso. I guess there are enough leafes and plants. But to make sure that you¥ll get some I¥ll bring you some. Just rest here. Mim showed me once some places where the plants are. And I¥ll bring some moss to stop the bleeding as well.

Chiletrek · **Reply #547 on:** September 10, 2008, 02:50:43 PM

Cayso kept looking at his bleeding scar. - "the moss will be particularly useful, thanks Ecco." - but before Ecco could stand up, Cayso used his right hand and grabbed Ecco's hand. - "and thanks for stopping me." - Cayso looked at the Swimmer with a smile, after that he released his friend's hand. Cayso remained sitting where he was, his head lowered as he began looking at how Cyrix and Mim began working on Longtail's injuries.

Mim indicated the pile of leaves separated from the others. "It's these here. I brought some flatish rocks if you wish to try to crush some to a fluid so you can apply them more easily. You can use some some other leaves to apply it so you can avoid using your fingers." She said. "There should be enough for both, though getting extra will certainly be a good idea in case this isn't quite enough." Mim said.

Nimrod · **Reply #549 on:** September 11, 2008, 07:39:39 AM

No problem mate. You know, I promised you, Ecco answered with a smile. With that he went away to get leaves, moss, and some water to wash the wounds.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #550 on:** September 11, 2008, 10:01:32 AM

Cyrix nodded to Mim and replied "Yes, grounding those leaves would make applying them much easier, but I have a better idea!"

He took two of the flat rocks Mim had brought and indeed began to smash the leaves into a goo like state, but then he picked some of it up with his hand and placed it into Longtail's beak. He then gave a small smile as his unconscious nephew tried to swallow/cough up the gooey plants.

Cyrix patted Longtail's head and whispered "Please...just swallow...it will help with the pain. You can trust me."

Longtail seemed to understand although Cyrix doubted his nephew had actually heard him speak. Cyrix then turned back to Mim and said "this stuff if I remember correctly works rather quickly, but to put his wing back together I'll need you to hold him down."

"Mim looked at Cayso, "Don't worry, with Ecco's care you'll be fine very soon." She said and looking at Cyrix, "And Longtail will as well." She said. She started taking some of the leaves that numbed an area and started using some of the flatish rocks to put a few leaves between them and set them on the ground, leaving the rest along incase someone else wanted to do some work also.

Mim looked at Littlefoot, "Could you be careful and put your foot on these rocks, it'll be faster to crush the leaves to goo to use on the wounds if you do then if I try to grind them myself." She said.

Littlefoot nodded, "Sure, I'm glad to help." He said smiling, he had wanted to help but wasn't sure what he could do. He carefully put one of his front feet on top of the rock on top and lifted it a bit to then bring it down on the rock, being careful to not injure himself. He then lifted his foot and stepped back. Mim lifted the rock, "Good work." She said to Littlefoot.

Cayso nodded to Mim not saying a word at all, he just kept on looking on how Mim and Cyrix began working on the herbs to heal Longtail, and that way, to try to maintain his mind focused on something until Ecco returns with the moss and more herbs for himself.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #553 on:** September 12, 2008, 02:36:53 AM

Cyrix gave a loud sigh as he turned to Mim and said "i'm going to try and push his wing back into place now. I just hope I do this right the first time, or Longtail isn't going to sleep much longer."
Cyrix took a deep breath and counted to three in his head and gave one forceful push on his nephew's wing.

Just at that moment Longtail's eyes shot open, but he didn't scream, or say anything for that matter. He just looked around...and seeing his uncle Cyrix and Aunt Mim, he smiled as he closed his eyes again, taking a deep breath and falling asleep once again.

Cyrix didn't realize he was holding his breath as he exhaled when longtail didn't scream in pain. He then patted the flyer on the head and quietly murrmured "Its alright...you're with friends, and family...you're going to just fine."

Chiletrek · **Reply #554 on:** September 12, 2008, 04:29:21 AM

Cayso saw with relief that Longtail's wing was back on place at the first try - "That was a very good movement Cyrix, I have seen how painful it is for someone to get a bone out of place, so it is good that will no longer be a problem for your nephew" - Cayso then smiled as began breathing a bit faster, trying to alleviate himself his own pain, so he just grabbed his left forearm with his right hand as he said - "I hope Ecco will return soon with that moss. Longtail did a good job and I cannot move at all."

Nimrod · **Reply #555 on:** September 12, 2008, 10:32:40 AM

After Ecco found all the leaves and mooses Mim showed him once, he walked back to his friend. He placed the plants side by side next to Ecco. Mim? Could you come over for a short moment and help me please? Ecco asked, because he didn¥t know much about healing techniques. He already placed some moos on the wounds of Cayso and pressed the moos into them.

Kor · **Reply #556 on:** September 12, 2008, 12:20:17 PM

Mim nodded to , She looked at Cyrix, "This goo here is from the numbing plants best to use a soft bit if vine or a leaf to apply it to avoid getting any on your fingers. Though I did mix in a few other leaves that help with healing. I'll go and help Ecco a bit." She said setting the rocks down with the goo on them then went over to where Ecco was to start on helping him, taking a few of the numbing leaves with her, leaving more then enough for Cyrix to use on Longtail since she had gotten extra as she usually did. She motioned for Littlefoot to follow her. Once there she took some of the leaves and put them between 2 other rocks, since she had found at least 4 rocks. Littlefoot did as before and stamped on the rocks so the leaves would be made into goo.

"Thanks, maybe it's best if you go and see if Cyrix needs any help." She said.

"ok, be sure to call if you need help." Littlefoot said.

Littlefoot want off and Mim started adding a bit of the mix she made to some areas that looked liek they may be painful but were not true wounds, pausing to put on some moss. She focused on working on another part of Cayso's body then were Ecco was so as not to get in his way. "You are doing very well, both of you." Mim said to Ecco and Cayso to praise them for how well they had both done so far and to keep their spirits up and give them some confidence.

Chiletrek · **Reply #557 on:** September 13, 2008, 02:34:01 AM

Cayso closed his eyes and bared his teeth as the moss began working on his wounds. - "This feels like it is almost burning me." - He tried no to touch the parts of his body that are been covered by the moss, specially his left forearm, but Mim's mix of goo made with numbing plants helped alleviate the pain, and her words helped a lot too. - "It is... very nice from you, thanks Mim." - Cayso smiled and bowed his head in sign of gratefulness.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #558 on:** September 13, 2008, 02:48:04 AM

Cyrix smiled as he noticed Littlefoot walking over to help.
"Hello Littlefoot, I could use your help, grab those numbing leaves please we need to spread them over Longtail's wounds." Cyrix then sighed and said "Longtail is lucky to have you and the others as friends."

Kor · **Reply #559 on:** September 13, 2008, 11:14:27 AM

Littlefoot nods, "Don't forget the goo that Mim has left behind." Littlefoot said and used his head to point to the 2 rocks that had the goo on them before he carefully used got some of the numbing leaves and started to spread them on the various injuries he could see on longtail. He tried to do his best to be sure to spread them evenly on the wounds. He his tail when he could as well to help spread the leaves as well.

"We're just glad to have him as a friend and to be able to help him." Litttlefoot said.

- - - - -

"Glad I could help." Mim said as she continued working putting the mix including numbing goo onto Cayso's wounds and some moss and leaves as well.
