Basic Treatment

[15:50:49] That fight could have gone much better, they were close, but they didn't have the energy to finish off the woman before she took him down and shortly after, Batkem. Whatever that Zinnia woman was made of, it was tough and she held some intense hatred towards either him or Cinderfall.

After waking up on the battlefield, Raja felt an enormous pain coming from his back where his wings normally would rest. However the pain wasn't on the top of his priority list, even though it hurt to move his back, the boy panicked and looked around for his friend and teacher, Batkem. Worry quickly overtook the boy as he'd see she wasn't around and feel nothing but regret and answer on top of his already massive back pain.

The feeling of loss once more overcoming the boy. First from his mother's 'death' he learned of recently, but now because his friend got captured because he wasn't strong enough to protect them. Trying everything he could, he wasn't strong enough alone to take down Zinnia and now Batkem was kidnapped and from the feel of things, he was crippled was a drakanite.

Trying to draw out his wings, the manifestation would fall short as the blue vines wiggling around inside his back seemed to become agitated when he tried to form them. These past few months weren't going well for the boy at all and they felt like they were only getting worse.

Panting for breathe after failing to draw out his wings due to the pain associated with them, Raja picked up what equipment he could before stumbling towards Cinderfall. The boy was bleeding, hurt, and down in the dumps while filled with a new hatred for a specific green haired drakanite associated with Alteros.

Time passes and the dark skinned drakanite boy would stumble into Cinderfalls town center and fall into a person he was reaching for to try and hold himself up right, but utterly failed to do so, instead hitting the ground. "P-p-please, help Batkem, she was taken!" Tears were in the boys eyes and his voice was hoarse from the shouting he had done earlier.

If his words weren't understood, the sound of his voice was worn and obviously very sad.
(Raja Nagano-Draconis)
[15:51:40] Raja Nagano-Draconis: *On his back, anyone looking could see blue vines wiggling around slightly from two stitched up wounds.*
[16:08:44] Kaia couldn't find anyone to help her with her bruises, cuts and burns made from that weird pile of clothing. She wa a bit proud of herself, managing to almost beat him but it was obivous he had more experience with fighting. Reaching to the center of Cinderfall, Violet eyes looked around to find someone who could help her but as always, no one in this city would even look her way, what a useless place, she thought.

Breathing heavily as she holds her worst injury on her side, where her side had been burned and her entire self was thrashed to the cold and hard ground of the cave. Her cloak had sears and burn marks, she was glad that she managed to leave the clothing figure some sears and burns of his clothing as well.

Sitting in the middle of Cinderfall, as the time passed, she slowly felt like hope was fading within her, until she saw Raja staggering, doing his best to keep himself upright till he fell to the ground beside Kaia, faintly making out the words. She didn't know who Batkem was but more importantly, what happened to Raja?

Crawling to his side, she notices the vines in his back, it wasn't the prettiest of sights. Kaia didn't even attempt to touch them, in fear that they may cause him more pain then needed. Simply letting go of her injury as she looks at him, worried and afraid for him, pulling him onto her lap as she sat back down. Mouthing the words as silent only came out 'W-what happened to you.. Raja..?'

Violet eyes searched side to side in need of help, mouthing out the words as if she were screaming, tears dripping down her face. 'Help! someone, please, help!' Glancing back down to Raja, feeling terrible she didn't go with him.
(Kaia)
[16:18:59] After having run off after successfully doing only a small bit of runewriting with Raja and Batkem, Pyra walked around the center of the town, seeming a bit more cheerful than usual. She ran by stores, looking at all the merchandise they had, climbed a tree or two, and in general had fun doing whatever.

But then, she saw Raja stumble into town, falling onto the ground, crying and.. Mentioning Batkem being taken? She blinked in disbelief at the notion. Batkem was her friend, just like Quazla, and.. She was taken? That couldn't be possible, no.

The girl walked towards Raja and.. Kaia? But her gaze was focused on the boy. "B-B.. Batkem? She was taken?" She would laugh it off as a joke under most other circumstances, but this was the first time she'd really seen Raja like this, so if anything it was clear that he wasn't joking or anything.

So, her eyes looked towards Kaia, then back down towards Raja. He looked so hurt, so she tried to use her holy magic to heal him as much as she could. She didn't pay much attention to Kaia, simply trying her hardest to sear the boy's wounds close, while also attempting to lessen his pain, through the use of Holyfire. She wasn't a master healer, or even an especially OK one, but this sort of healing was easy enough. Close his wounds, right?

Of course, it would leave scars- without a doubt. The girl didn't care, though; she was more concerned with her first real friend being so hurt and with another of her friends being taken. Sure, her eyes were watering at the realization, but if Batkem was already gone, then she had to do whatever she could to keep Raja. If she didn't heal him.. Would he die..?

Honestly, probably not. But Pyra wasn't especially smart, so she didn't know that.
(Pyra Shateiel)
[16:38:36] The feeling of something moving under your flesh didn't sound or feel pleasent in the slightest. Having something with thorns wiggling around inside of you sounded much worse and boy did it feel just as bad. Simply looking at the boys back, one could see the skin buldging out slighlty against what could be a thorn or some kind of spike.

Clenching his teeth, he'd only manage to keep himself from passing out by sheer willpower and not wanting to appear weak in front of Kaia. Was there anything that could help with the pain?

Talking was off the table for now, he needed something done and before he knew it, a burning sensation would be felt along the blue, vine stitched wounds along his back. Whoever was messing with his back was either an asshole or was trying to heal his injury. Grunting in pain, he'd tightly clench Kaia's hand as she'd silently try and scream out for help. It was useless seeing how he was the only one able to understand what she wished to say, but who knows, maybe someone could see the injured boy and panicing girl in the center of the city.

Raja couldn't tell why his back was burning all of a sudden, but he'd keep his eyes locked onto Kaia as the surroundings slowly tunneled into darkness around her and his mind would clock out finallly, causing him to pass out.
(Raja Nagano-Draconis)
[16:40:19] Her robes were tattered, splatched with blood, dirt, and grass stains. While she was beaten, the woman had mostly managed to heal her wounds through the many different healing powers she bore. And, as a spriggan, nature magic tended to have a more pronounced affect upon her body. She stepped into town, her head of white locks a mess. Concern covered her visage as green eyes looked about for a certain boy.

And soon, she found him. Batkem trotted towards Raja, swiftly arriving at his side. Panic grew now on her face as the children were toying with his flesh. "Allow me space!" she suddenly demands, slender hands placed upon his back. She held control over nature to a high degree, for the time being, the vines would cease their wriggling, while holy magic began to infuse Raja in an attempt to take away the pain.
(Batkem)
[16:45:26] Pyra walked away from Raja, seeing that her magic wasn't helping at all. She just kinda sat on the grass, staring at Batkem and Raja. But.. Batkem was taken? So how come she was here? She just sat there on the ground, shivering and thinking. Not quite her strong suit, in all honesty, but everybody has to think sometimes.

Pyra's thoughts mostly concerned Raja and Batkem. If Batkem was taken, and Raja came walking into Cinderfall injured, then.. He tried to keep Batkem from being taken. So, since Batkem was back, either she managed to escape or her kidnapper let her go. Either way, it made.. Raja's wounds rather pointless, didn't it?
(Pyra Shateiel)
[16:54:49] For the time being, everyone was focused on Raja, being pushed out from her comforting hold on Raja. Putting her hand back on her bloody wound, she wanted to assist but she held no magi or knowlegde to help her best friend. Gritting her teeth, a bit frustrated, taking a deep breath, she was sure that within Batkem's and Pyra's care, he would be safe.. and both probably knew a lot more important people here, leaving Kaia to feel useless.

No one noticed her as she would make her way to the caverns, her mind was focused on not trying to be upset, she would go back to her home in Sunflower. Attempting to keep herself calm, not caring if anyone called out to her, she wanted their attention on Raja and with her presence there, it would only get in the way.
(Kaia)
[17:05:55] Slender hands remained ontop of Raja's back, panic slowly drifting away as the vines stopped moving and holy magic continued to flow into the boy. She took a deep breath in and exhaled, a stream of breath flowing out as she managed to compose herself. This poor boy, taken into what was essentially war and ripped apart. A twelve year old ripped into by a thirty year old woman.

Thirty years old.. it was incredible to imagine that that much had time had passed. Batkem had known Zinnia since she was but perhaps ten years old. The spriggan didn't believe herself capable of simply removing the vines, but she could manage a way of removing the constant squirming, and thus the pain.

From beneath her sleeve, a strange, alienoid insect squirmed out. It fluttered down her arm before landing atop the center of Raja's back. Stick-like appendages stuck themselves into his very flesh, the bug grappling onto the drakanite's flesh like a parasite of sorts. In reality, it was a piece of the spriggan, latched on in order to control the movement of the vines within him.

With that handled, she simply continued to infuse Raja with healing mana. The yellow glow of holy magic continued to flow into him as water was conjured, rolling over his back while vines glowing with blue mana grew from the soil to wrap about his shoulders.
(Batkem)
[17:17:52] The redhead's blue eyes simply watched at Batkem handeled the situation of an injured Raja far better than she could ever hope to be. So, huh, that made it pretty clear that she was an awful healer. So, the normally loud and obnoxiously cheerful Pyra just sat there, staring at Raja and Batkem.

"B-Batkem.. He got.. He got hurt protecting you, didn't he..? R-Raja.. Raja said you were taken.. H-He was crying, n'.. I-I couldn't heal him.. I-Is he gonna be OK..?"

She stared at the fucking plant, expecting some confirmation of Raja's recovery. After all, as far as she saw, Batkem was just pouring mana into him or something weird like that.
(Pyra Shateiel)
[17:17:52] Batkem: (raja are you consciou yet
[17:18:43] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: Whats going on?
[17:18:43] Raja Nagano-Draconis: (One sec)
[17:19:34] Batkem: (conscious*
[17:20:25] Raja Nagano-Draconis: (Just gonna roll it)
[17:28:06] While he was passed out on the ground from pain, the person he wished to keep closest to him was pushed away and ran off even though she was injured as well. Sadly he was remaining motionless on the ground partially due to someone lighting his back on fire using holy flames, partially because of the strain.

Down for the count, Batkem came back somehow and pushed Pyra off of him and started to actually treat his injury he had gotten trying to protect her. The vines in his back would slowly stop moving shortly after the spriggan used some of her unique magic to stab and control the movement of the vines. Almost as soon as this happened, the healing magic she would be applying would start to take effectand numb the pain he felt from the barbs to an extent.

As the sun slowly crawled across the sky, Raja would start to stir slightly. Grunting from the discomfort of sleeping on his stomach on the ground, the boy would blink a few times till he could see clearly again. His back still hurt, but the pain was at least managable compared to how bad it was before.

Unsure who was all around, he'd call out to the one person he thought was still around. "K-kaia?" Sadly she had left after being shoved off even though she was hurt. Twisting his head to the other side, he'd start to look for her figure, yet it wasn't seen.

"Where's Kaia?" Not complaining about his own pain right now, he was more concerned for where she had gone off to.
(Raja Nagano-Draconis)
[17:33:13] Raja seemed to stir, a sigh escaping as he called out. "She has gone for now, but I am here for you, dear Raja," Batkem mutters in his ear, continuing to send healing magic through his injured body. It must be confusing for him to hear the voice of the woman who was dragged off after being beaten.

"We are safe. Relax for now, allow me to heal you."
(Batkem)
[17:33:13] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: What happened?
[17:34:04] Batkem: ..We fought against the forces of Alteros. We lost, and Raja was.. tortured.
[17:35:47] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: What?!
[17:37:29] Jadeite Winter: Hey Mika!
[17:37:29] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: Why wasn't I asked to help!?
[17:37:29] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Batkem...when did you get here? Didn't that Zinnia take you away!?
[17:38:20] Batkem: She.. let me go.
[17:38:20] Raja Nagano-Draconis: ...why did she do this to me, take you away and then let you go?
[17:39:12] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Actually...where is Kaia? She looked hurt as well.
[17:39:12] Batkem: She's an angry person, dear Raja. And she had much to say to me in her anger.
[17:39:12] Batkem: Kaia left, to where I am unsure.
[17:40:03] Raja Nagano-Draconis: <*Sighs*>Probably to our home in Sunflower...could you check on her for me before long?
[17:40:03] Batkem: I will, do not worry.
[17:40:03] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: *Sighs and tries to hug her brother*
[17:40:03] Batkem: And be careful.
[17:40:03] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Don't tell me not to.
[17:40:03] Batkem: I've planted a creature on your back. Do not try to remove it.
[17:40:54] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Please don't hug me Bevolt, my back hurts like...super bad.
[17:40:54] Batkem: The pain will return if you do.
[17:40:54] Pyra Shateiel: Uhm.. I-I'm sorry I tried to heal you, Raja.
[17:40:54] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Huh?
[17:40:54] Raja Nagano-Draconis: <*didn't know prya tried*>
[17:40:54] Pyra Shateiel: It looked like it made you hurt worse..
[17:41:45] Raja Nagano-Draconis: ...you didn't light me on fire did you?
[17:41:45] Pyra Shateiel: I-I read that Holyfire was good for closing wounds like y-yours..!
[17:42:36] Batkem: I..
[17:42:36] Batkem: Are you feeling better, Raja?
[17:44:19] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Better than ah was doing, thing has stopped moving at least.
[17:45:10] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Have a feeling ah'm not gonna be wearing a shirt for a while....So how exactly do you think we could get that thing out of me?
[17:45:10] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: Want me to help with anything Raja?
[17:45:10] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: ...
[17:46:01] Batkem: I might have a solution, but..
[17:46:01] Batkem: I believe I will be returning to Sunflower for now.
[17:46:01] Batkem: Is that fine with you?
[17:46:52] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Any chance you could take me with? Want to check on Kaia if she is there.
[17:46:52] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: Want me to help?
[17:47:44] Batkem: If you're fit to walk, you may come.
[17:47:44] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Think Bevolt can carry or fly me there if she doesn't mind.
[17:47:44] Batkem: I'll meet you there then.
[17:47:44] Bevolt Nagano-Draconis: I don't
[17:47:44] Raja Nagano-Draconis: Alright, be seeing you Batkem.
