Dangers of the Mountain

Sirius hadn’t gone far, his vulture lazily in the air above him. Mission accomplished, the Warlord was on his way home. He did not like to be away from his den, and he relished the idea of curling up with his Wife, and holding her tight. His dreams were dashed by the frightened cries of a familiar owl. Frowning, he turned to the creature as she winged towards him. What did Cairo want so impatiently?

But a very quick explanation of a fall and danger would send him running. This was Malalia’s friend. He could not bring home to her the news of his death. He found the broken man crumpled at the bottom of the mountain. He had taken… the fast way down, and was finding it detrimental to his health.

The Warlord knelt carefully by his head, and checked first for a pulse. He was no healer, but he knew battlefield trauma. He could keep Cairo alive until help arrived. He found a pulse, and moved on to the rest of him. Legs splayed out in bad positions told him of breaks. Head trauma, at the very least. He was bleeding from a wound in his head. His bear companion had picked up a deer skin somewhere along their journey, and was bringing it home to add to their stores. He tore strips across the leather, using one to bind tightly to his head. The rest of him was bruises and breaks. If he had internal bleeding, the Behemoth didn’t know it. “Marshal, fetch me a healer. Quick as you can…”

he worked it out in his head. The Armada was three or so lands from him. Valhalla he didn’t know exactly, but many, many more. By the time help came from those sources, this boy may well be dead. “Fireside. They must have healers.” it may come at a cost, but he and Aurielle would work it out later. He did not doubt the Valhallian would pay for the life of her apprentice, if it came to that. The bird was gone as the last words left his mouth, and the Warlord continued his work, making his way down the boy's body. Looking for places that needed instant seeing-to. “bear, build up a fire, we’ll need to keep him warm. He’ll likely go into shock” he directed. He wondered if the boy would be taken to Fireside, or Armada, once he was deemed safe to move. Valhala seemed an awful far way from here in his current state. Marshal would fetch Io's wagon as soon as he hag gotten them a healer. They could decide then where to take him.
