Doubly surprising considering she was a vampire succubus and he a satyr but, there it was. The supernatural version of Milo and Otis.

Despite the urgency of the situation, the feeling of Aursra's fingertips at the bruise upon his face, filled Verial with a sort of renewal. Verial was aware that Aursra was not a healer - she was a poet and more recently, an illusionist - but her presence close by was certainly a soothing one. Verial found himself breathing more normally again and offered her a confident nod as her hand left his own cheek and brushed tenderly across Kyrian's brow.

When Aursra's fingertips found Verial's hand once more, he gave her palm a small squeeze of reassurance, prepping them both for the task ahead: carefully moving Kyrian back to the cottage. Verial opted to carry Kyrian's lower half, where though the injuries to his son's leg were greater, he know he could avoid inflicting any further injuries in this area if carried correctly. Aursra would take Kyrian's upper half, the boy's broken arm draped carefully across his chest.

As they began to carry Kyrian, Verial took notice of his son's now furrowed brow, his face contorted as if he was faced with some internal struggle. Verial dared to stop during their return to the Villa, to reach out and place a hand on Kyrian's forehead to soothe the nightmares that plagued him. However, just as quickly as this struggle had started, did it end and the final result was that Kyrian appeared to be at peace.

Any questions that Verial might have had would be temporarily left unanswered. The more important thing was for them to get back to the Villa and properly tend to Kyrian's wounds. The remainder of the journey did not take them much longer and they entered through the back door of the cottage, which was already open due to Ita heading off before them. Carrying Kyrian upstairs to his own room was out of the question. They had moved more than Verial wanted to in the first place.

Heading to the couch, Verial and Aursra placed Kyrian upon it; thankfully the piece of furniture was longer than the boy and allowed him to lie flat out. As Ita would bring them a basin of water, herbs, bandages and materials to set a cast, Verial prepped himself for getting Kyrian back in one piece. It was going to be a long night for sure.

As Kyrian passed out, she frowned deeply and then slumped as his mind went dark and still. Her wilting wings slacked even more and she felt herself trembling. Were it not for her holding herself up for those moments, she might have been laying on the ground for a few minutes. Already she was feeling weak from the emotional overload, but she cleared her throat and stroked her delicate fingers through Kyrian's hair leaving it even more glittery despite all the leaves in it.

She hadn't felt this scared since the day everyone got trapped in the shed. She was more scared now than back then and it showed with the way her hands trembled. It was best he passed out and felt no pain, for that she was glad. Leaning down, she kissed Kyrian's brow and about the time she was raising her head, Verial had taken her face in his hands. Those dark lavender eyes with the golden speckles peered into his as she tried to catch her breath. The bruise was barely even noticed at first, it was his eyes which drew her, and she knew he'd see the intense emotions within her own glittering eyes.

She wanted to bury her face in her someone's neck and just cry, but holding fear at bay was quite the challenge! Her wings remained wilted and she blinked away some tears while trying to focus. Fairy attention spans could be quite short. She could see the worry and concern, feeling it rolling off of him, Aursra, feel Kyrian's pain. This wasn't anything new to her, she's always been able to tell how others felt. This was just more intense, she felt as if she had experienced the injuries. It was probably all part of being empathic, and maybe so in tune with her family.

As Verial cupped her cheeks, he'd be covered in dust, but that couldn't be helped; she was gasping. As he had touched her, his emotions were all the more powerful and she felt herself grow dizzy for a few moments. Her pupils dilated and contracted as she was clearly struggling to focus on what he was saying. Something about water, cloths, and herbs. It seemed only those three words made it to her ears and eventually her brain as she slowly nodded when he let go.

She must've promised to go get them, because her feet were moving before her mind could make sense of anything else. She stumbled a couple times since her feet and legs had fallen asleep, but she was soon running to the cottage to get the water, herbs, and cloths. The door was flung open and she began her hunt for the herbs first since going through them would take longer than getting cloths and water.

It was a good thing she was a Faery, cause not only was her Pa teaching her all about herbs and things, she seemed to have a natural flare for it. Nature responded to the Fae in ways others could probably only dream of. She hunted down the herbs and found them (wherever they were in Verial's cottage) she thought would be most useful and dumped them into her pouch. She then hurried to the kitchen to get the water and while it was heating up, she ran to the bathroom for some cloths and drug out about eight of them.

Rushing to Kyrian's room, she threw open the door and yanked down the covers to drag one back downstairs. She then rushed back downstairs to hear the kettle screaming and so 'very' carefully took it off the stove and found a huge bowl to dump the water in. And then extra carefully, she lugged the bowl up to the living room and set it on the coffee-table nearby.

Her legs felt jelly and so did her wings, which were still drooping. As she laid out the herbs, cloths, water, and things to make casts, she sniffled softly to try and pull herself somewhat together. When everything was laid out, she realized her hands were trembling and she watched them in fascination for a few moments before sinking to sit on the floor with her arms about her knees. She had made sure to sit out of the way, but near enough in case she was further needed. From there she watched intently, greatly worried for her friend.

Lately it seemed like long, dreadful nights had become quite the popular thing in Verial's household. It made him wonder if he had been doing something wrong. Perhaps it was his fault, though not intentional; Kyrian was his son after all and the genes of one unruly, untamed dragon had been passed down from father to son. But there was something odd about Kyrian's dragon, something different, which Verial would not place and couldn't ask Kyrian about either yet considering the boy's current condition.

The rest of the evening, which had turned into very early morning now, was spent tending to Kyrian's wounds. With Aursra and Itarilde's help, the trio was able to clean up all of the cuts and gashes that decorated Kyrian's body. Verial set casts to the broken arm and leg bones that Kyrian had suffered and thankfully, the once bleeding wound on his forehead had also stopped.

When all was said and done, Verial washed up and removed any blood from his own face, hands and arms. There became a point when he couldn't tell if any of it was his blood mixed in with Kyrian's. Returning back to the living room, Verial was met with a still vigilant Aursra and Itarilde watching over Kyrian's bedside as he lay unresponsive on the couch.

Verial looked down towards the couch and blinked odd colored eyes curiously. Though his son appeared quite the broken and battered figure, there was some strange aura that Kyrian gave off despite the situation. It was almost as if Kyrian's body was slowly healing itself or trying to maintain any pain even while asleep and as a result, the boy looked quite peaceful.

Moving to the couch, Verial sat down alongside the front of it, propping himself up with raven feathered wings. On either side of him sat Aursra and Itarilde, and though neither of them spoke, there was a mutual sense of anxiousness in the room. All three were patiently and on bated breath, waiting to see what was going to happen to Kyrian. Would he wake up the next day or would he be succumbed to the subconscious world for days and days on end?

--------


In light of the whole situation, exhaustion had taken its toll on Verial and leaning against the couch, he nodded off into sleep. When he again opened his eyes, the world around him was a near blinding white color devoid of any surroundings. This was different from other dreams he normally had the pleasure of having as most of them were bathed in darkness.

Verial rubbed at his eyes, adjusting them to the light, and moved forward trying to find the way out of this dream. Usually one place in the subconscious could fade into another and then another and then another, but it was for a while that he was walking in his current environment. Then at long last, he found himself bump into something rather large that he had not noticed was there before.

After he took a step backwards, Verial found himself looking up to a dragon with white pearl colored scales. The great beast was sitting patiently staring back at Verial as if interested, but there was a drawn out silence that passed between the two despite any curiosities. Normally, considering Verial's history and the downfall of Oneiro, he tried to avoid albino hued dragons as much as possible. Nevertheless, this one was different; this one he had seen in his dreams before but it was a fleeting vision back then. Before it could disappear on him a second time, Verial's voice broke through the rather eerie silence.

"So, who might you be?"
