A darkened figure lay against the bases of the underlying roots of the Old Oak. His breathing was heavy, his vision blurred and his heart beating so wildly that his wounds deposited the thick, tar-like substance at the same tempo. He tried to stable himself many times during the previous day, but had failed. He tried again, his legs shaking underneath his weight, but he had virtually no strength left in him and he failed yet again. He couldn't even speak too well, as his words came out in mutters and blurts.
"H...hel..p... somebo..dy..."
"..Mitsuki...I..I f..failed..."
"I love you..."
{and this is in a box because boxes are awesome.}
Mitsuki had just about given
Coming back to the place that they had shared so many wonderful memories would just remind her of him. It hurt so much but by clinging to the hope that he would come back was what kept her going. It meant that she would never forget how much she loved him, and how she would go looking for him when her son and daughter were old enough. She would travel to the ends of the earth to find him.
Her eyes became wet as they did many times when she would wake up in the middle of the night from the nightmares that haunted her. Her eyes stung, and a strangled cry escaped her as she drew closer to what she used to see as a safe haven of sorts. Mitsuki fought against the racking sobs, and forced herself to keep going.
She would never forget what she saw, and it made her doubt everything. She had to be dreaming. Either she was dreaming, or she was dead. Stormchaser lay against the roots of the Old Oak, severely wounded. Mitsuki's pain didn't fade, but grew stronger as she paused for a moment. She supposed it was her mind trying in vain to comfort her, but she didn't understand why he would be injured if this was the truth.
The doe closed the gap between them and her tears began to fall as she lost the battle she was fighting to try to stay calm. She curled up by his head, rubbing her nose against his cheek as the convulsions she had been avoiding for this entire time racked her body. Through the tears and through the pain of seeing her mate so wounded, she was somehow able to speak.
"I-I..I l-love y-you, St-stormc-chaser. I-I'm s-s..sor...sorry I c-co..uldn't s-save y-y..y...you."
As the small doe burrowed

Mitsuki almost convinced
She forced herself to get up, and she forced herself to run away into the fringe of trees. She needed help, and she would stop at nothing to find someone to save her mate. If he died the doe didn't know what she would do, she would have a hard time not falling ill herself, it would likely result in what she was going through at the moment, except it would be much more sped up and much more severe. Mitsuki searched her mind for anyone who might have the knowledge of a healer, and the first one that she could think of was Dae.
She had to find someone soon, and as she ran, she was almost oblivious to her surroundings. Suddenly she collided with someone, and the doe nearly fell over from the shock of being dragged out of her mindspace and back into reality.
It was Hälla.
The grey doe started very
Blinking, she waited patiently for an explanation before deciding to prompt her on. "You okay? What's wrong?" she was unsure why she cared much about this strangers wellbeing, perhaps out of a desire to be selfless, or just that this doe looked genuinely horrified. She couldn't help it. Something compelled her to try and fix or at least investigate the issue.
Mitsuki wasn't sure why she
The grey doe nodded in
{MY TURN. GHGHGH.} As
As another doe with Mitsuki returned to him, Stormchaser whinnied loudly and pinned his ears back. If this was to do more pain to him, he did not want it. Not at all. He didn't care even if she was meant to help him - he didn't know her, therefor he didn't trust her and didn't want to be under the care of someone he doesn't know. He wanted help, but he didn't want help, his phobias kicking in. Stormchaser tried to thrash to get away, but he failed and only caused more pain. He eventually gave up and told himself many times to comply with the will of the unknown doe.
Mitsuki would respond
The hind whispered words of comfort into the stallion's ear, hoping dearly that he wouldn't thrash more considering it could severely injure her, too, and that wouldn't help anything. She decided for now that all she could do was lend her support, and just spending time near him was like a salve to her own emotional wounds.
Hälla flinched slightly at
Trotting as quickly as she could, she paused occasionally to gather various plants and foliage. Poppy seed, cattail roots, and sage. When she returned, she gingerly set them from the mouth to the ground and began to work. She started with the sage, delicately pounding it with her hoof. She doubted his reaction would be one of delight, after seeing how he took to here mere presence, but she wanted to help. "This should help with swelling, or inflammation in case anything gets infected," she spoke as she work, carefully rubbing the smashed sage over the larger of his wounds.
Soon she returned to the cattail roots, which she again, beat with a single, splayed forehoof until it was a sort of poultice. She went back to the stallion, trying now to rub it over all of his wounds. It would ease the pain and provide something clot whatever was oozing from the gaping holes in his skin, giving she was able to successfully apply it without him writhing away. Her brow furrowed sympathetically as she moved on to the poppy seeds.
With this, she did not entirely desire to give them to him without his say so. "This will probably be put to sleep," she said. "Or make you drowsy at the very least. But it will numb the pain. I just thought I should ask before I put you to sleep."
The stallion calmed slightly
As the doe explained how the herbs helped, he felt more and more comfortable with her. When the doe explained and asked if she could use the poppy seeds, he nodded to the best of his abilities at the time (for his neck was also covered in wounds) and waited for further instruction from her.
Mitsuki watched silently as
akastorm'snodsentherflyingaroundtheearththis totally isn't a bump...
this totally isn't a bump...SO sorry for the late reply
___
The grey doe nodded and gave the most warming, comforting smile she could. Collecting the poppy seed in the leaf she had gathered them in, she brought it nearer to his face. With a hoof, she dabbed the small seeds until they became a form of oil. Nudging the cupped foliage to him, she nodded to it with a dip of her head. "Drink that," Hälla instructed. Assuming he did, she would step back and turn her face to Mitsuki. "That's all I can do for him now. If you need me again, however, seek me out and I'll do whatever I can," she promised, smiling at the two of them.
