Anyone that Sib knows is welcome, trying to keep this kinda small though. No particular posting order.

It was the longest journey of her life. By the time she reached the Covari border, she was ready to collapse. Her chest and shoulders ached, her muscles burned with exhaustion. Blood dried on her shoulder, her toe throbbed, her lips still bled freely, and her tongue left a constantly flow of blood dripping down her throat or out of her mouth. She refused to speak or open her mouth for the mere thought made her jaw hurt. The scent of Covari filled her nose as she dragged herself across the border. Her crown lifted back to call for Orchid and announce her presence. She didn't know if Vi was here or not, but she knew she was welcomed. She walked for as far as she could before slumping to the ground. She had lost. Arcanum was no longer hers. But she didn't allow the defeat to weigh down on her, she would return one day. And she would once again sit upon her throne. She didn't pay attention to much, she figured that Maija, the kids and Ekko had followed her here, they had no reason to return to Arcanum, nor would they have wanted to. The woman fell silent, waiting for Orchid or someone to arrive. Then she would seek out a den and sleep. She would find Vi later, she knew her friend wouldn't mind her crashing here for a few days before sorting out the political crap.

She had been by Sibelle's side ever since they left the battle grounds, although she was unsure if the russet queen was even aware of her little body beside her. She tried to support some weight, but she was a mere ant compared to her sweet master. A soft whine left her lips as they reached the borders, she could tell that the red dame was done, after all it had taken a lot out of her. Ekko didn't know fighting well, but she knew that it was not only tough on the body, but on the soul as well. As Sibelle sloped and let out a call, and Ekko stood by her side. Ever so carefully the small dame began to lick the blood away from Sibelle's face, her tail and ears tucked in submission as always. She was very careful to not press too hard on the wounds as she cleaned away the blood.

The scarred dame knew that Sibelle was unable to speak well with her jaw injury, making another whine slip passed her maw. It was a rare thing indeed for her to speak without being spoken too, but this was a different situation. Her pale blue gaze was cast away from her broken queen, not able to look at her as she spoke out of line. "If you would like my Queen, I can speak for you and tell these wolves what happened." It was a scary thing, taking to other wolves. She would do it though, she would do everything that she could to get Sibelle back on all four paws. Ekko sat beside the lady, her gaze looking far off as her peripherals were keyed in on Sibelle
so that she could see if the dame nodded at her.

The call for Orchid would cry out, but he would recgonise the tone beneath, the girl that made the cry. His muscles would go taunt and his head would rise in weary worry. Cru had ehard the news that her throne was being fought for, and he could think of no reason for her to cry for Covari's healer unless she had... lost. His heart would sink low and hesitant paws would carry him across the lands. His pace would quicken without his comand until he was flying across the earth towards her. He would find the red queen.. no, wolf, at their borders with a few family and friends in toe. It would seem he had beaten the healer here and his eyes would stray across the Range for a sign of her before moving closer to Sib. He would step before her and lower his head to look into the girls eyes. ?Sib, its a pleasure to see you again? he murmured, his voice so soft as he took in all her injuries and pains and found himself hiding a wince, she was too strong in nature to see the slightest hint of pity, and nor would he feel it for this girl he respected. Cru felt only the heavy pit in his heart that had him worrying for her. "words"

Ekko had followed her faithfully, leaning against her in an attempt to offer some support. But the girl was far to small to hold the queens hefty weight. Soft words would flit through her ears and the woman would nod. Ekko could explain, moving her jaw hurt to much. She didn't think it was broken, but she couldn't be sure. A familiar scent would fill her nostrils and her verdant gaze would lift to see Cru approaching. A smirk tugged at her bleeding lips but she said nothing. For a moment she thought she saw pity in his gaze, but she decided against it, he wouldn't pity her. She would rise from this and become stronger. She would beat the pale woman. It seemed time slowed and Orchid was never going to come. Eyes would flutter close, a sigh heaving her sides as she tried to find patience to wait. WORDS HERE

It was not often the healer girl was caught off guard, but as Sibs call reached her ears the dame would lift her head from the waters in alarm. Spring was finally here and today the air had been lustrous and rich with warmth. The girl had taken a much needed soak in waters that where finally warm. Her herb bag had been left in her den for perhaps the first time in a long time. This was so terribly predictable, she finally good a good chance to relax and someone had to go and spill their guts on the floor. She would sigh and rise from the waters, shaking out her coat before heading to her den at a trot.



She considered all she might need before collecting this and that into her herb leaf, tying it about her furs and hurrying off in the direction of the call. She would arrive to see the collapsed girl and Crucifix hovering over her. She would offer a friendly smile to the stranger that had come with Sib before rudely elbow the Cross boy out of the way to peer down at their injured friend. She would cluck her tongue with a sigh at the sight of her. Honestly, between Vi, Sib and Othello she would have nothing but injuries wolves hobbling about her ? at lease the latter was almost finished her healing. The broken toe would need to be set, there where various cuts that would need cleaning a poultice and binding, but for now her attention would be upon the muzzle. She would very gently probe against the injury and gently move it this way and that. ?its not broken? she would assure her ?But it will take a couple weeks before it stops troubling you? she apologised. With her paw gently holding the other girls jaw she didn't expect her to reply instead she would bend her head down to her pouch and nose about until she pulled out Merigold ?Chew on this, it will help ease the sore gums and throat? she promised as she pushed it against the other girls lips.




She would think for a couple minutes before nosing Trillium into the other girls mouth as well, there was little she could do to bind mouth cuts, the best she could do would be to keep them clean. Not to mention Trillium aided in toothaches, and those chipped teeth might be bothering the other girl. She would move on to the cuts now, all cuts would receive Trillium and the worse of them would get a poultice and be bound with Horsetail. She would send Cru off to fetch some bark before setting the toe. When the boy returned she would tie the bark under the toe and bind it with horsetail. This all completed she would stand back and examine her patient. ?You'll need rest, clean water and you'll need to come see me for a few days to ensure you mouth injuries dont get infected? she gently ordered her ? so much bacteria in the mouth, cleaning it daily would be required for the time being.

Sibelle's loss was a setback, but not the end of the world. Maija was not disheartened that her sister had sustained the injuries she had. In fact, she was as proud of her as if she had just had children. The Armada woman was strong and ruthless, two traits Maija had been drawn to upon meeting the russet-furred wolf. Love was evident in how Maija supported Sibelle on their way back to Covari for wound care and rest. The golden-furred goddess followed Sibelle's limping form, not too far behind in case she crumbled to the ground. Thankfully, she had reached Covari boundaries just in time of doing so and shortly after, the wolves that supported Sibelle almost as much as she appeared. Wounds and injuries were tended to and she walked up beside Sibelle to help her rise. Words were not said as she nuzzled her cheek tenderly before flicking an ear to the children behind her. She hoped her yearlings would have the sense to attempt to help as well. Otherwise, they would be reprimanded for not trying to help their hurt aunt. speech here

The fight for Sibelle's home had ended with a lot of blood, limps, and jaw snatches. Pandora had been so drawn into the way the two wolves had fought, her claws had dug up dirt all around her pretty paws. After Sibelle lost and left the scene, Pandora had obediently followed. Vi had already succeeded, but left the battlefield to God-knows-where, not giving Pandora any reason to stay. A glint of look was given to Artemis before she searched for Fakira's orangey form. Her fur mixed with his and they followed their family back home....or what was home to her family. As they walked across Covari borders, Pandora felt a sense of pride. She had been the first one to join Covari out of her siblings, knowing that her future would be grand here. Now, as Aunt Sibelle called for assistance, she scanned the Range for signs of other wolves. Cru and Orchid finally appeared, immediately tending to Sibelle's injuries. Maija approached her sister after the bandaging had been done, Pandora watching with silent interest. This was no time to be a smartass. Maija's ears flicked in their direction and she glanced at Fakira. Since joining Covari, she had been made lead hunter, a position she was not used to yet. "Come hunt with me, Fakira. Let us find something for Aunt Sibelle to easily chomp on after she rests." With a gentle nudge of her brother's shoulder, she began to bound towards the forest, intending on grabbing a loose rabbit. Hopefully, Sibelle would be able to snack on something with her swollen mouth.-EXIT Pandora- "Speech"

Orchid arrived and dropped herbs before speaking. At first she would resist when the pale woman shoved herbs down her throat. She would jerk back, lips curling back before her body relaxed and she swallowed. She would not fight, allowing the woman to work. She was moved this way and that way, every so often receiving herbs. A brief nod would acknowledge her words. She would flinch as the woman bandaged her toe, ensuring that it would heal properly. Her crown would lift as the woman gave her instructions on how to keep her mouth wound clean and infection free. Limbs would fold beneath her before she pushed herself up. A small smile played on her lips. "Thank you Orchid." Maija, Ekko and Crucifix still lingered, the kids having taken off to do their own thing. She would take a step forward, ready to sleep. Her steps would be shaky, her movements slow, unwilling to move much. She would slip from the crowd silently, she didn't know if Maija or Cru would accompany her, but she knew Ekko would. She would head towards her old den, a long and slow journey. When she finally arrived, she would slip inside, curl up and allow sleep to claim her. -EXIT-

His aunt Sibelle had lost, but he knew that would not deter her in the future. Quietly, he had followed his mother and siblings as he supported his aunt on one side, using his larger build to keep her on her paws. He could only imagine how much pain she must be in, it was a brutal battle. The white wench constantly trying to break her jaws and deal heavy damage like the terrorist she appeared to be. Although it wouldn't bother him too much, as long as the wench hadn't tried to keep them prisoner under her. There would have been no way in hell he'd allow his sisters and brother to be taken captive.


Soon, others would arrive to the borderlands of Covari. Orchid began to patch up his aunt while Crucifix had spoken. His aunt's slave soon speaking, requestiong permission to speak. Did she not see that Sibelle was in a lot of pain? Rolling his eyes, he would stand by his aunt as the healer looked her over and administered what she had to as he looked at the cross marked male. The look in his eyes guessing what had happened, and with slow confirmation Eon would nod. "Yeah, she lost...but she fought hard. The other seemed to be trying to kill her...it was brutal. She needs to get off her feet soon, her toes are broken and I can only imagine the pain she's in." He would glance briefly at his aunt as he nosed her neck, careful not to touch any open wounds. He watched as two of his siblings would leave to hunt for her, and he only hoped that she would have the strength to be able to eat with her jaw in the current disrepair it was in.

And follow her she did. As soon as Sibelle rose to her paws, the small wolf trailed after her russet queen. For her, pack or not, Sibelle would always be her queen. She knew that the walk would be hard for Sibelle, and she only wished that she could enlarge her body to help support her more, but her frail self couldn't offer her a hand. Sighing softly, she did not say anything as she left with her.

Sibelle walked into a den, probably her own from before she was given her pack. Not planning to go far, but wanting to give her space, Ekko curled up to the side of the den, letting her pale blue eyes fall into half slits. This way she would be in calls reach if her damsel needed her. Humming to herself softly, she fell into an uneasy sleep.
