Kentucky Legend/Twilight

Legend galloped in, with Twilight close behind. They waited. Legend's face was badly cut from a fight with a cougar.

"Are you sure this is the place, Dad?" Asked Twilight. He waited impatiently. "Where's my aunt?"

"I know this is the place, and I don't know where your aunt is." Replied Legend.


Lady & Starlit Eyes

Having just mended two wolves, the lady had all of her equiptment with her as she hurried towards the two horses. With equines, she wasn't as scared about getting attacked, but she knew how dangerous they could be, simply from their sheer size and strength. Moving slowly towards the duo, she reached a hand out to gently touch Legend's muzzle, in a place where he hadn't gotten wounded. "Looks like you've gotten in a fight with a cat. Poor guy." She crooned, looking over the injuries he had. Knowing it was too dangerous to fully sedate a horse, she would use only a mild drug to calm the horse down so she could more easily treat his face.

The old lady went inside, and soon reappeared with two apples. In one, she had injected a mild sedative. It would make Legend very relaxed, but not so relaxed that he would fall asleep and fall over. To him, she handed to drugged apple, and to Twilight, she handed the normal apple.

Starlit sat down near her master, looking up at the horses, "What happened?"

Legend nosed the apple, then ate it. He felt very drowsy, so he lied on the ground and looked up at the lady. He looked at Twilight. "You can eat the apple." He said to his son, then looked back up at the lady.

Twilight nodded and snatched the apple from the lady's hand. He looked down at Starlit Eyes and spoke, "A cougar tried to eat me, but my dad killed it. It scratched him up pretty badly, though." He seemed very proud of Legend.

When the horse was down, the lady spoke calmly to him, continuing to stroke his muzzle and pat his neck, while avoiding the wounds. "Easy now, you'll be better soon." She soothed as she retrieved a small syringe from her kit. Filling it with a clear liquid, she injected it in a few places along the stallion's face.

Starlit raised her eyes, "A cougar? Your dad is pretty brave." The hybrid complimented, giving the stallion a thoughtful look as her master tended to him.

After waiting a few minutes, the drug had time to completely numb the horse's face. Instead of stitching, she cleaned up the wounds and applied a paste to each wound, which acted like a glue to hold the wounds together and keep them from bleeding, as well as to keep out infection. It took a while, but she finally got all of the injuries treated. "There you are." Giving his head a final pat, the old lady stood and grabbed her kit. She would have stayed with the horses longer, but there were still more patients to treat.

Starlit got up as well, giving the two horses a brief smile before following after the lady.

Kentucky Legend stayed down for a while, but eventually stood up. "Let's go now, Twilight. let's go find your aunt." He said, and trotted away on wobbly legs.

Twilight thanked Starlit Eyes, and followed his dad.
