wah her nedr

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele gritted her teeth as she felt Xia working over her ribs. Gabriele had never felt a pain like this before in her life, well there was that time when her mother had to remove an arrow from her back. But that was another tale for another day. Gabriele said to her, "....Xia.... i cant take it anymore...the mending is brutal." Gabriele forced her body to turn away from her. In a deep sweat and huffing she raised herself up. ".... Xia my father... he wants ~ she swallowed hard from the pain that was now going away but some still remained~ My father wants to ...make me queen tomorrow.... you must help me walk." she said this but also turned and looked at her. She knew xia was also in pain and she said ,"... my friend i will .... i will try on my own." Gabriele pulled herself to the edge of the bed . Her maids now begging her to stop, ".... Your highness please... in you condition we insist please you are only waking this morning , surely your father will be willing. If you say push back the date of the coronation. NO! ~ Gabriele shouted , more from the pan than anything else~ My mother was no coward, in the face of pain i never once saw her shy away from what was best for the people of Abalone .. nor for me. Now help me up " she said taking her hands to there shoulders and attempting to stand-


XiatalKurosaki: Xia, looking at her friend with much worried eyes she stopped the procedure. She quickly curled under Gabi as she spoke," Gabriele.....You are my dearest friend I will be honored to help you and proceed with the coronation. Lord Abalone has entrusted me your life and well being. As your royal healer Gabriele I will do as you ask" she would keep her friend close as she knew they've been through thick and thin she never been so close to the Lady of Abalone more than what she has in her life.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele uses the strength she hd in her legs to pull herself up. She struggled a bit and fell back to the bed. Grumbling from the pain she just looked at xia and tried again. She fell again. This time she slide to the floor. " WHY ARENT YU HELPING ME FASTER!??" she said now crying from the pain. Her head maid over her said to her calmly, " Please Gabriele I beg you to rest ... i will get you what ever you want just stay in bed.PLEASE!" Gabriele spat at her and said ," If you cared for me as you say... you would honor my wish to do as my mother would have..... " Gabriele rolled to her knees holding her side and crawled to the door seal of her room. Using the arch way she places her hands either one to each side of the door frame. In a loud yell of agony she forced herself to her feet and just stood there. Down the hall 4 men rushed over to help her and they said to xia, ".... what is going on here?"

XiatalKurosaki: She would try to help Gabriele as she looked up at the soldiers," She wishes to proceed with the coronation in her current condition, As a friend and her personal healer I need more healers in order to proceed with the finishing healing. I am far to weak currently to complete anything, do we have any healers that we can salvage to save and heal her ladyship. " she asked bluntly, firm, but delicate she was strong minded and very respected to the kingdom to Abalone for her services. She was one they turned to for diseases and possible cures


NicolasStoro: -Nicolas gets closer to the palace and finds the place where he usually had sneaked into Gabriele's bedroom, he had found a hidden passage long ago that lead right up to her bedroom through the gardens. His body was hurting and he couldn't walk right. So the trip was harsh since he was exhausted and in pain from the crash with the ship. But he didn't care he was going to see her no matter what. He found the passage and followed it and was finally standing in front of her bedroom.- "Gabriele!" -He shouted and felt pain down his ribs, in hopes she could hear him.-

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele nodded to what Xia had spoken. "... she is not responsible ....where are the others.... Where is Gemma ?" she asked looking at the soldiers . " Gemma has not been found . We are sending search parties everywhere. Please my lady Jessa is just down the hall here Lady Xia i will go and get her. She was healing the men and women brought in from the wreckage " The guard ran off and down the hall. Gabriele looked at xia and now her head Maid who was trying to help her stand on her right side. "Natasha ~ to her maid~ Please go and bring me my robe for the day, i want to be with my father after i am able to walk better than this. She heard a familiar voice and smiled she slowly turned her head to see it was nicholas. She let out a cry as her head dropped ".. im sorry you have to see me this way ." her clothes we re of some sort of harsh brown fabric , Since the maids were not able to move her die to her pain They draped her with a brown cloth that was open in the back. so her under garments were exposed . - she felt the dizzy spell coming again and collapsed at the door-

XiatalKurosaki: She gasped," Gabirele!" she would catch Gabriele before she collapsed to the floor as she would try to numb the pain with what strength she had left, it was the least she could do until their were more healers to conjure and aid her, she spoke with Gabirele," I'm so sorry...I cannot heal you as fast as I use to.." she was trying to not bring tears in front of her Ladyship. She couldn't and wouldn't dare. She looked up seeing Nicolas as she spoke," Lord Nicolas, help me please....help me get her sitting up at least to where the healing maybe less painful..." she would beg as she cared deeply for her friend and even used her own life strength to save her friend. Xi'Atal was at her limit well perhaps over her limits she knew the ways of Abalone and she would die to protect her friend.

NicolasStoro: -He looked down at Xia and shushed her- "Shhh. her father can't know I'm here." -He gave her a stern look and fell down in pain as he stepped inside the room. He was almost whispering.- "I'd not be able to see her again if he knew I snuck in here without permission."

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -10 minutes later she came to herself. She saw Lady Jessa over her with Xia . Jessa said, " We will heal her together... but the soreness will have to go away naturally as we are going against her body natural healing process. We wouldn't want any adverse effects. Now Gabriele please try to remain calm. This is going to hurt a lot. " Jessa snapped her fingers at the maids near where nicolas was and they at numbered 12 lifted him and took him to be healed in a private area. Gabriele watched them carry him off and swallowed hard saying, "... im ready just do it please." she said this in tears. Her body trembling from the rib bone that constantly jured her in the side as she moved. Jessa placed her hands over the wounded area and said, "On your mark Xia."

XiatalKurosaki: Nods as she would take three deep breaths before she began she asked," Would you like a bite guard Gabi?" She hadn't called her that in a long time. She knew as a friend she wanted to soothe and make Gabriele as comfortable as possible. She would hold the guard in her hand as she waited to see if she needed it or not.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele nodded and opened her mouth to take it -

XiatalKurosaki: She placed the bite guard into her friends mouth as she would look towards Jesse," Alright on the count of 3....." She would charge up her hands as it felt like a energy vortex would be coming through," ONe......two....." she would close her eyes," Three!" she would begin with her healing companion as they raced the clock to heal her frend to where she can be easily healed and somewhat mobile.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -she grunted and then hollered out loudly," AHHHHHHHHHHHHH .....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! " She spit the guard out almost choking on it . She coughed and continued to yell. Tears streamed her face as she felt the bones moving and rejoining themselves to one another. In her agony she passed out into unconsciousness for the space of 2 hours. It was about now 3 now-

XiatalKurosaki: She would finally be finishing up as she would look at Jesse who had more strength that her," Make sure she is comfortable Jesse, and place her into bed...." she turned towards Nico," Nico...you have to leave until she recovers, I know it must be hard for you, but we don't need the king becoming furious than he already is due to the ship being destroyed

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Jessa nods to Xia and takes Gabriele up into her arms with the help of her maids and ease her into her bed. This time Natasha made her way back with her royal clothes and dressed her in her white robe. About her hair they combed it and sprayed her with lovely fragrances. TO her request they placed her in a reclined chair near the window so that the sun would bring the pigment back into her skin. She was very pale from being in the sea water for so long. her scars were almost all gone except for the ones on her back. The beautiful suns rays trickled in on her face she begin to stir a bit , finally she opened her eyes. to the voice of Xia telling nicholas to leave. She watched him stand to his feet much better that he had before and look at her once more. She smiled to him in return and watched him safely leave as he usually would. She said to a maiden near her , " Tell my father I wish to speak with him most urgently." The young girl nodded and ran to get her father at Gabriele request.

XiatalKurosaki: She would close her eyes as she looked towards Gabriele," I'm sorry it was so painful my friend...but I know you wouldn't want me to stop until I completed my mission to heal you..." She would say hoarsely as her body was fighting to stand up straight. Xia was never worked so hard in her life. She closed her eyes as she would keep her body from collapsing on its own

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -She smiled at xia and said " come sit beside me." It was at the moment of saying this her father came into the room. IN haste he rushed over to Gabriele side and said, "... daughter are you all .... right?" he looked her over seeing she had begun healing of her scars, and the color of her skin was slowly returning. " I am very much fine father. Thanks to Jessa and Xia. " Her father smiled looking over at Xia and said , " Thank you xia, what can i do for such a noble person in my kingdom?" Gabriele smiled sitting up a little, she felt the soreness and choose her words slowly and carefully. " Father tomorrow is my coronation ....and as..... as you know we are without a Archduchess. As a request from me , I nominate Xia for that position" King Madres answered , " ....well what a noble thing of you to say Gabriele, but would she except it" He chuckled and looked at Xia -

XiatalKurosaki: She gasped as she would be quite shocked as she would be shaking she didn't know rather to jump up and down...or cry in joy. She would place her hands over her face as tears escaped as she quickly regained composure," Y-Yes....As nominated by Lady Gabriele, I Xiatal Saradothien take responsibility as Arch Dutchess..." She would bow her head before both Gabirele and his highness Madres.

CaptainGabrieleStoro: -Gabriele smiled leaning back into the comfort of her chair smiling, " Then let it be as you have said Xia. Guard have the documentation ready by morning and for the love of my wife, find Caspain!!!" HE shouted standing to his feet and storming out the room in a huff saying, " Why hasn't he been found i want ships looking everywhere for him. Where are those guards from Afaregon " Gabriele hearing the name sighed. She looked at Xia and said ," We are in a new era now my friend. There is no way to turn back now my friend. Everything we knew changes tomorrow."

XiatalKurosaki: She nodded," I...I am still rather shocked you nominate me as the Arch Dutchess....I know Caspian...I know he and I are dear friends and converse in many of conversations but.."she spoke," Gabi...why did you choose me of all people to be your Arch Dutchess?"

CaptainGabrieleStoro: " Balance is always good my friend, where we head now..... we are going to need it." She said this looking out on the horizon as the sun drew closer to King Jerumer execution-
