"DOES THAT MATTER RIGHT NOW?! I-I-I......." Espy's voice trailed off.

"...I'm...sorry. For yelling. No, I don't know." Espy took a deep breath in and out. "She's fine right now; I'll just apply this last poultice and bandage it up...Duchess, I am only a novice healer; could you tell me if her internal status is fine?"

"Thank you dear man," Duchess nodded to Sei and motioned over to Taishi. She took a few seconds and examined the work done on her General.

"It is wonderful work." She complimented. "She'll be completed recovered almost overnight. Did you do this?" She directed her gaze at Taishi.

Taishi looked to espy and smiled "I'm primarly a healer, she will be fine she needs bed rest" she would say gently, before looking to Sei nodding before standing up "Sei lets get her back to her tent" she say her voice sounding worried that no one knew exactly what was going on. She looked to dutchess nodded "Yes, I am a healer by nature" she would say with a smile as she walked beside Sei

None of them had noticed the open crystal locket that she wore around her neck, though covered in blood, if they wiped the blood away they would see the mortal version of the enemies general Zephyr.

Taishi blinkes seeing a slight gleam around Fenrir's neck and wiped away the blood, taking it gently from the genral's neck opening it to have a look before showing Sei 'Zephyr?' she would say into his mind seeing if he knew

Sei looked at the bloody locket that Taishi was showing him. In it was a person that Sei did not know, and he told Taishi that he had no clue who that was, but that it certainly was interesting.

Axel growled at the recruits, "What are you doing? That is terribly rude!"

Taishi looked to sei and nodded showing she understood "General Axel, General Dacorum, perhaps one of you two might know the person in General Fenrir's Locket" she would say holding it out so one of them might take it, though her eyes glanced back to Sei "We really need to get General Fenrir lying down as soon as possible" she would say her voice showing it would be the best thing for her recovery

"It doesn't matter who it is, that's one of her personal items, and you have no right..." Axel trailed off, as he looked at the locket.

"to...snoop in her personal belongings," he finished after staring at the picture for a moment. This was interesting.

Letiel noticed the dopplegangers she had been fighting vanish but was otherwise very confused. She looked around and saw the general and the others. She rushed over in alarm.
"What the hell is going on?!"

Sei heard Axel's growl and told Taishi that she better put it back. "Our humblest apologies, General. It was completely uncalled for, and we are humbly sorry." He then turned back to Fenrir as he saw Axel contemplate the image inside.

Letiel looked frantically to Sei, then to the general, then to Axel. She was confused and frantic.

Duchess placed her hands on Letiel's shoulders in a comforting movement.

"The General is sleeping, and will be fine now." She whispered softly. "Please relax. All that we can do is wait"

Sei explained the details again to Letiel - that Fenrir appeared all bloody and hurt; collapsed to the ground; and that they had all been trying to heal her to the best of their ability. "You should take Duchess' advice, the General is fine and you should relax a bit."

Letiel was shaking, she heard what they said but she didn't believe a word. The general couldn't get hurt! "How?"

Taishi shook her head and gave the locket to Axel "I'm sorry for taking it from around her neck General axel but it's better if she doesn't have things that could potentially strangle her while she sleeps in this state" she would say moving next to Sei helping him move Fenrir back to her tent

Letiel followed them to Fenrir's tent, worried.

Duchess sighed and further explained to Letiel.

"It's something to do with one called, Zypher. My findings lead me to believe that she is the Corrupted's General but......" Her voice trailed off as appeared to be deep in thought.

Letiel was deep in thought. The instant she heard the name Zypher she knew she was going to find this person and make them pay, even if it cost her own life she would do it.

Taishi's eyes wandered back to Letiel "calm yourself, if you rush in you'll get hurt or even killed and what would you have died for?" she said as if it was an instinct that she was going to do something foolish

"Will you take care of the general?"

taishi smiled and nodded "she'll be in the very best of hands... i promise, you just stick around and see how she recovers okay" she would say her voice showing confidence "continue your training, i'm sure Miss Fenrir would love to see how you've improved when she is better again" she would say hoping it was enough to get her to remain in the camp

Axel took the locket and followed the other's back to Fenrir's tent. He looked for a surface to set it down where she would easily be able to find it when she woke up.

Letiel didn't answer she just turned and walked away from the tent.

Taishi's eyes smiled as Fenrir was set on her bed, kneeling down she would move her blanket over her and smiled gently "may the goddes of life and healing watch over and protect you" she would say tucking her in as a mother would a child with tender loving care "General Axel?" she would say sounding suprised that he was here

Axel turned to look at Taishi, "What is it?"

( @ Letiel & Duchess, it's Zephyr, not Zypher. xP )

Taiye rushed into the camp after hearing news of what had happened to Fenrir. What had been a great day for her had now turned into a nightmare. She rushed to where everyone else was with a devastated expression on her face and began questioning, "Is it true?! Is Fenrir okay??"

Seeing Fenrir on the bed, Taiye ran to her side and placed her hand on her, not knowing what else to do.

Taishi looked at him for a second "I just find it strange General that you are in this tent" she would say "this news is bound to get out and i fear there may be a panic" she would say her head turning to Fenrir once more "some already believe the devine can not win... after just seeing what happened to miss Fenrir" she would say her voice sounding solum as she spoke that one sentance

Taishi's eye opened wide seeing the general Taiye rush in frantic "She will be fine Miss Taiye, she just needs rest" she would say gently

(Sorry. That made me laugh really hard.)

Espy glanced up at Taiye. "She should be fine, Captain...Taishi has done her best."

He looked over Taishi again, "I've been in her tent before. How is that weird?"

(Espy - xD I thought it was too)

Suddenly Espy felt a strange prickling sensation and peered at Axel. The atmosphere around him reeked of bloodlust.

"I...don't think you should be around here," Espy chuckled weakly.

Axel's eyes quickly turned to Espy. He grinned, showing his fangs, "Are you scared, mortal?"

Taiye looked over to the locket. She had already seen what was in it a few weeks ago. She rubbed the side of her neck remembering the incident. "Fenrir..."

After hearing Espy's comment, she looked to Taishi, "Thank you Taishi. I'm sorry I wasn't here to help..."

Taiye felt somewhat guilty. Wondering to herself if the situation could have been different if she had been around instead of spending time with Blaqkin. She had enjoyed the time that she spent with her best friend but it made her forget that a war was going on.

Taishi looked at Axel once more and sighed "normally there is nothing weired about it... just i'm going to have to change her clothing and such... though i could just..." she tralled off and flicked her hand a little, shortly afterwards the blood would vanish and a green and white sill night robe would be seen over the sleeping general

Taishi looked at Espy and smiled "it's okay Miss Espy... General Axel is a good person, I have spoken to him a few times" she would say gently before her eyes turned to No need to thank me, I believe this is my role in this war" she would say her voice showing nothing but truth, but then again that was a family curse "Miss Taiye, please do not feel guilty... she was fine one moment and fell out of the sky the next... no one knew what was going on" she would say her eyes turning back to Fenrir

"Scared?" Espy asked Axel. "Not much. I'm...used to blood."

(In the warehouse thread, or so I call it, Espy is bleeding quite profusely. No, I don't think she's scared of bloodlust XD)

Axel almost laughed, "Taishi, I'm a couple thousand years old. I've seen many naked women before. But if you think I should leave while you change her, I will do so."

Taishi looked to axel and shook her head "there is no need I've changed her" she would say "wow, you don't look that old either" she would add

Axel grinned, "I look better than I did the day I 'died'."

At this, he was admiring his own pale skin, but made a discussed face when he didn't appear in a mirror.

Taishi tilted her head slightly "general Axel, may I ask how you died" she wouls ask in an inquisitive voice

"You want to know? I was bitten, I was fed the blood of an immortal, my soul forever bound to darkness. It's all history really," he looked back at the sleeping General.

"I am a captain, dear, not a general," he added.
