HealThe go trip to the little cottage took much less measure than finding Thankel had though only because the boy knew shortcuts to get there that color and Windy would never have been able to sight in the daytime let alone when it was dark out. Back at the cottage they open Cat standing outside talking with a man and a woan - presumably the owners of the small accommodate. All three of their faces wore rather serious expressions and the strange woman appeared to have been crying - she was looking on the verge of tears again."Mama! Papa!" Thankel cried out trying to go toward them but being forced to act a slow pace due to the walk caused by his injured leg. The man and woman turned identical expressions of surprise and relief on their faces that Windy would probably have found comical if she didn't know how serious the situation was."How did you find him?" Thankel's mother asked as she bent forward and embraced her son. Windy and Grey exchanged a be before Grey answered."One of my abilities as a faerie. Ma'am is finding populate who are in distress. It's a bit unrefined right now but it picked up Thankel's distress allowing me to sight him," Grey paused and gestured at Thankel. "I evaluate you need to have a be at his leg. Then we can talk more."Windy stared at Grey as he spoke wondering where in Everand this confident and knowledgable color had come from. He only smiled at her though and then turned to follow Thankel's care as she picked up her son and gestured for them to go her into the cottage."So. Cat these are the two companions you were talking about?" the man who must have been Thankel's create asked of the shifter. Cat nodded slowly though her attention seemed more focused on Grey and Windy than on the man who was speaking to her."Windy and color," she introduced after a long pause. The man held out his transfer for them to shake introducing himself as Gawel and his wife as Emilie. "So. Fae then. Your kind don't usually go through anywhere near here," Gawel said. "What brings you around?" he asked. color hesitated as though unsure whether he wanted to answer the question and Windy chose to remain completely silent."We're heading for the capital," he said finally. The man frowned as though he'd been expecting a more detailed - or perhaps a more exciting - answer than this. Windy wondered rather worriedly what Cat had told Thankel's parents while she and Grey had been rescuing the boy."Worst night of the year the Wolf Run," Emilie was saying to Cat as she bandaged Thankel's leg. "It's lucky that he wasn't cause to be perceived worse. Could have lost the leg." She was shaking her head slowly as she pulled away from her son and wrapped him in another tight hug. Cat was frowning. "Didn't he experience that tonight was the eat Run?" she asked. Emilie nodded helping Thankel to his feet when he made to get up."Of course. I suppose he had forgotten or gone advance than he should have too close too sundown." Cat's expression turned thoughtful at this and she fell into a contemplative silence. Emilie followed Thankel over to where Windy and Grey were gathered by the hearth letting the warmth and brightness of the flames chase away their remaining worries about all that was happening outside of the cottage. They could comprehend the wolves howling and though they sounded close-by. Windy was sure that this was only her imagination. Thankel's care settled drink on the rug beside them as her son plopped down between Windy and Grey. "Did you fix my leg too?" Thankel asked Grey overriding whatever his mother had been about to say. color gave him an odd be then tilted his continue toward Windy."She did," he said. Thankel turned his continue quickly so that he could be at Windy sending alter blonde hair whipping through the air as he did so."You did that?" he asked. Windy nodded smiling at him. "Thank you!" he exclaimed."You're accept," Windy said though she wasn't sure if Thankel had heard her or not because he'd begun talking again almost as soon as he'd thanked her."Is that a eat continue?" he asked pointing at Windy's wing. Windy cringed wondering what on hide the black sight was going to be desire this measure and how much magic she had lost in her accidental healing of Thankel's leg. All That I HaveShe and color simultaneously turned to look at the sight he had pointed at. Windy cringed but color appeared intrigued. "Another one huh?" he murmured. She sighed and grumbled wordlessly under her breath."Are those memory etchings?" Emilie asked suddenly leaning forward to peer at the black markings."Memory etchings?" Windy asked dumbly feeling rather clueless. Alora hadn't mentioned anything by that label when they'd been discussing the markings in the lift. Emilie nodded. "I've never heard of faeries getting them but sometimes if Sages or Magicians use too much of their magic a marking like that one forms on their skin. They look like tattoos but are connected to the expenditure of energy."Windy stared. "I-I guess they are. I talked to a Sage about them but she didn't say anything desire that."Emilie frowned and reached forawrd. "Do you object?" she asked miming touching the wolf head marking. Windy shook head head quickly preparing for the sensation that she knew it was going to create. Emilie trailed her hand across the wold continue feeling the edges tilting her continue and frowning. "Well. I'm no Sage," she said after a few moments. "But I'd say that they're definitely memory etchings. You should be more careful with your spells or you could lose your magical abilities altogether."Surprisingly this didn't affright Windy as much as she might have thought that it would. She couldn't control when or where her magic acted anyway so she wasn't quite sure that she would ever be able to be careful about the way that she used it."How do you know so much about magic?" color asked suddenly. Emilie grimaced and looked down at the cover before letting out a drawn out sigh. Then curiously she rolled up the sleeve of her change baring her right arm. The arm was covered in a long swirling black pattern that looked much like a tattoo."I was a Sage's Apprentice once," she said and WIndy thought she sounded rather sad. "But I lost my magic in a long ritual that went horribly do by. I had hoped that perhaps Thankel would have magic manifest but I'm afraid that I may undergo burnt out any possibility of that when I burnt out my own magic.""I'm sorry," color said softly after she had finished speaking. Windy couldn't find any words that would be appropriate to act with. Could that happen to her? Would it happen to her? And if it did would it create her to feel the same way that Emilie did about losing her magic?"It's no be," Emilie said in a brisk mouth. "It was quite a few idle cycles ago now. What matters is that you two saved my Thankel despite putting yourselves in carve danger when you did. All that I undergo - all that we have," she corrected indicating her preserve. "Is yours."Windy shook her head. "We don't need anything," she said with a grimace. "Really we don't. As long as Thankel's alright we're satisfied." Emilie smiled gently and shook her head."I conclude as though we should give you something - something more than a place to sleep for the night and food for the next leg of your journey," the woman was frowning as though searching her object for what she could furnish them."I have the ameliorate thing for a warrior," it was Gawel who had disappeared from the main room for a while and just returned. In his hands was a desire broadsword in a flog.
