Vortex

The stallion entered the lands slowly as one of his mares had been injured whilst they were attacked by Humans. He stopped by a tree so that Luna could lean against that whilst he got some help. He moved away as soon as he thought she was safe and reared, calling out to the lady. Upon landing he walked back over to Luna. As he was an Alter-real he was quite big and intimadating at 16 hands, but he had a heart of gold beneath the muscular extrerior. The journey had been tiring but they had made it. He called again, waiting by Luna's side shoudl she need him. He looked around to see if Ember and her foal had followed.

Luna Dreams

the huntress leaned upon the rather smooth bark of the tree her orbs half closed as her breathing was raspy and fast. Was it from the walk or had being tripping and landing on her chest cavity cause other damage? She didn't think so her muscules ached and her left nail hoovered inches above the loam unable to move she just leaned her voids blank as she watched the grass below her mentally she knew Vortex was there and she wanted to call out to him to feel his touch. She loved him so much yet hadn't had a chance to tell him. Her once shimmering moonlight chassis was dusty and riddled with upon cuts and gashes on her chest and shoulders. Huffing as it seemed she waited calmly she really didn't have a choice she felt that if hse moved she would fall apart.

Starlit Eyes & Lady

Starlit Eyes, the property's lab/wolf hybrid, was first to respond. She came dashing around the side of the house and spotted the two horses. "Horses...?" Her voice trailed off a bit, for horses had never come from the wild for help before. Yet Starlit was almost glad to see them, for they didn't seem so prone to causing her any trouble. Or, at least she hoped so.

"My master should be here any moment. What happened to you?" The ebony canine asked, fixing her question towards Luna, for she seemed in the most distress and carried the obvious wounds.

Indeed, it wasn't long before the lady arrived, stepping out of the house with her medical kit in hand. Like Starlit, the lady was surprised to see two horses here, and espcially without an owner. "Oh my, what have we here?" She moved slowly towards Luna, then reached a hand out to touch her shoulder. She moved her hand carefully over the mare's side, moving it closer to the wounded leg. If Luna did not protest to this contact, the lady would proceed to try and help her wounds. But first things first, she had to see whether Luna would allow such close contact.

Luna

The huntress wouldn't protest even if hse could. her muscules tensed slightly but from the soreness not from her touch which was soft like a rose pedel. Maybe all humans weren't so bad. tiara lowered slightly as she contiued to huff. But soon her pillars buckled and she did her best not to hurt the lady as she went down first on her knees then the rest of her followed. Something wasn't right she could feel it inside her her chest ached and burned and was terribly raw from where seh landed and skidded. Some dirt and a few rocks were wedged into her once shimmering moonlit pelt. unable to lift her tiara she rolled her orbs and a raspy nicker was sent to Vortex she wanted him near. At least like this her weight on her shoulders and fore daggers weren't causing her any pain.

Vortex

He watched the Lady and her dog come out of the house. He was relieved and trotted over to Luna, he didn't make any attempt to touch her though, as it may disturb the lady as she helped Luna. As Luna's legs buckled and he heard her cry, he immediately came close to her. He dipped his crown and pulled her body towards his pillars so that she was rested on him, he lay down beside her so she rested on his soft and warm body. His crown nuzzled her neck as he watched the lady do her work. He nickered to her softly, showing her he was there for her.

Luna Dreams

the huntress felt his warmth and closed her soft onyx gems. Her breathing slowly became slow and steady showing the raspy and shortness of breath were from the hike here not from her injuries. She was so tired and the warmth from Vortex and the stead hands of the lady voids opened halfway and in a small whisper to Vortex barly heard if he wasn't listening she spoke her vocals like a song bird.

[I love you]

Then she closed her voids and drifted into slumber. It was a good though sometimes she appeared restless but nothing terrible no fits or lashing that could hurt the lady as she worked. In her dreams the throbbing had stopped and she was floating like on a puff of cloud and she could still feel the warmth and strength that Vortex offered her and she relaxed all should be well.

Aralyn

Aralyn appeared from the road her horse psyche following her Malon racing ahead. The shepherd some them first and let out a bark to his master although it was a soft one Aralyn feared it might frighten the horses.

As she drew closer, fresh bruises could be seen on her face and she moved slowly as if each step agonized her. She knealt down near the lady and said softly "Is there anything I can do?" She waited quietly assesing the mares injuries herself. She knew many herbal rememdies but wasnt certain they would work on horses like they did on humans or canines.

Malon lay down a safe distance away his eyes latched on his mistress. He could smell mens cologne on her and he knew who she had been with last night. HE wondered to himself how the Bad Man had found them and why Aralyn hadnt fought back. He didnt know that Aralyn had already been weak last night and Damiens beating had drawn out almost all of the strength she had had left. HE waited patiently for them to take care of the mare.

Psyche stood near also watching the stallion remembering a long time ago when she had been wild. Aralyn still let her run with the wild horses but not like she had before. She heard Lunas words and tears rised to her black gems and she turned away walking slowly towards her home away from home, back into the wild to see if she could be alone for awhile.

Vortex

The dogs bark alarmed him, but he soon settled down again. Still clutching Luna, his ears pricked as he heard her words. His once shut eyes snapped open and he look at her. His eyes softened and he gave her a reasuring whicker.
As I do you M'love.
He nuzzled the mares neck. His eyes brimmed with tears as he saw how much pain she was in. He prayed she would be okay.

Starlit Eyes & Lady

The lady began to work quickly, startled by the mare's collapse, knowing that her situation must be very dire indeed. First she gave the horse a few shots of a numbing agent, so that her side and leg would feel nothing as she worked. As the lady first went to business cleaning the obvious wounds, she looked up to Aralyn, and imediately noticed the bruises. The old lady's face showed great concern, but she knew at the moment it would be best to consentrate on Luna. Once the mare was treated though, the Lady would change her focus to Arayln.

"Do you know what Comfrey looks like? A light green plent with pale violet flowers; it grows in the back yard. Could you gather as many as you can find? If you know of any more herbs, I could use them as well." She smiled hopefully, while continuing to work on Luna. Taking out a stethescope, she listened to Luna's breathing. Had her lungs been damaged during the fall?

Starlit Eyes twitched her nose, picking up on the scent that Malon had. Starlit had brief experience in the hands of abusive people, but that was in the distant past for her. Still, the idea came to mind about Arayln, and Starlit gave Malon a questioning look.

Malon

Malon saw Starlits eyes and nodded faintly. He had found Aralyn. His mistress had just started trusting men again when this happened bringing everything back. Malon had tried once to kill him and failed. He beat himself on the inside for his failures and growled. It wasnt fair that Aralyn had to put up with that torture and then the insomnia. It was right for the young woman to go through that misery. Mo< Aralyn nodded and stood slowly she softly called Malon and rested some of her weight on his back and walked agonizingly slow to the back yard to grab the comfrey

Aralyn

She came back a few moments later carrying the comfrey and also her bag that she had abanadoned for awhile. She set it down gently and kneeled beside the lady talking in a calm soothing voice. She opened her bag and extracted a dark brown bottle labeled Shock on it. Gently she rubbed it on the horse hoping that her methods worked for equines as well as they did humans and canines. She rummaged in her bag a moment and pulled out another one that had ancient writing inscribbled but she nodded and grabbed some gauze. She held the gauze at the wound for a few moments then took it off. "Heres your comfrey ma'am" she said as she handed it to the lady.

Luna Dreams

Luna continued to sleep her tiara resting upon her love's shoulder voids would fluter every now and then but nothing changed as she breathed deeply slowly her braething was evening out.

Starlit Eyes & Lady

The lady smiled, 'Thank you." Her eyes looked curiously upon the medicines that Aralyn had, What have you there? It seems that we both share a good knowledge of the Old remedies." Again she smiled before turning to Luna's wounds. The comfrey was carefully crushed up into a poultice and pressed over the areas of Luna's legs that seemed bruised or swollen. She next pulled out a jar of pasted herbs, St John's wort and arnica, and spred them into the poultices. She was careful not to get any of these herbs into the wounds that Aralyn was treating, for they would only hamper the healing there. But for the bruises, swelling, sprangs, and fractures, these mixtures would reduce the pain and help them to heal rapidly.

The lady stepped back after she was finished, "We need to get her standing soon."

Starlit Eyes sighed lightly. "If I ever catch him here, he might regret it." She was loyal to all that her own master cared for, including humans. She didn't tolerate any violence at the Farm.

Luna Dreams

the huntress lifted her tiara a little now awake though drozy as her lifeless voids would hint at. But the moonlight vixen watched the female step back hence she was done the voids moved to the other female the bruises noted upon her. SO SHE THOUGHT HUMANS BEAT UPON HUMANS TO? WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE ARE THESE HUMANS? her thoughts on humans were scattered. Looking to Vortex she leaned her tiara back upon him her oynx banner matted upon her arabian nape.
