[IC] The Rise of the Guardian

[MegaraFoxfire]

Scarlet smiled and followed after him, limping a little from her back injury but still smiling. Then she asked “where do you think we can find a wagon in this place? Think the assassins will find one?”

Ash was writing as he spoke, a frown on her face. “The same thing…every time…but the young one is new so that’s something…” she sighed and sat down and rubbed her face. “I blacked out this morning. In the training yard. I was watching two others fight and their style…I knew it. When I tried to place it it triggered…memories. Such powerful memories that it was too much…”

[Jazz]

"I think so. Right now I want to see Ash. Before I lose my confidence." Going at Scarlet's pace. Carth couldn't barely understand what he was and how it involved Ash.

"Then it seems there is something you must confront within yourself. And that is something that will take time." Orion tell her. "Those scars are the the ones that are the hardest to heal." He knew all to well.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Scarlet nodded and said “last I saw her she was with one of the assassins…we need nicknames for them, I can’t say their names right…”

Ash looked at him and asked “Scars? Did you find something else when you were treating me?”

[Jazz]

Carth snorted to try and keep back a chuckle upon Scarlets comment. "I'm sure if you ask them, they may have nicknames they came up with." He said with a grin. "We'll check the mess hall before finding Orion. Didn't she say that she wanted to talk to him about something?"

Orion got up as he went to the kettle using a this cloth to keep his hand from burning. He goes over to another with Tea in it ready to steep and fills it. "You have a few. But there is one that stands out." He points to the area of which it is located.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Scarlet nodded and said “that’s right. We can see if the others are there as well” she opened the door to the mess hall and walked inside looking around.

Ash touched her temple and then moved to look it a reflection in the tea being poured and said “I’ve had my hair long till a week ago…I’ve never seen this before…could this be the cause of my memory loss?”

[Jazz]

"It's a theory. Hit hard enough and an event in the process can potentially lose a good amount of memory." Orion states as he sits back down.

Carth enters the mess hall and looks back to where they had sat last before. He looks perplexed not seeing anyone there but then shrugs. "Guess we check back with Orion then." He turns to leave and head to Orion's house.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash frowned and said “this must be part of the cause…along with the collar bone and shoulder blade runes I have…” she covered her eyes a moment and muttered “so much to figure out…”

Scarlet nodded and started to follow him. But she got a little behind him with her injuries then she tripped on an upper stone and fell forward.

[Jazz]

Orion sighed. He figured that would be the case. "On another note. If you are still looking for a healer, I have given it some thought and a talk with the Captain. If you will have me, I will join your little ragtag group. Doubt there is going to be anyone who would be able to keep up and deal with the mess you might get into." He states bluntly though with casual ease.

Carth had tried to keep to Scarlet's pace though it seemed to escape him that he had to slow down. With his sharpened senses while he was trying to control, heard the misstep that Scarlet took and took a backstep and turned, taking a quick step reached out to catch her. "Sorry. I didn't mean to rush you. Are you alright?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash looked up at him stunned. “Wait really? Orion are you sure? Your home is here and…are you really sure?” She was worried he might be harmed because of her status and their mission.

Scarlet sighed and nodded. “Thanks…this injury is making me slow I’m sorry…I haven’t had a wound like this before…”

[Jazz]

"Ash." His demeanor changed. "I am by no means unfamiliar with battles. I am also not unfamiliar with fighting when it comes down too it. I'm not fond of fighting but I can." Orion's demeanor changed again to a more casual one. "Now if you don't want me to come along and make sure you don't die, then I'll stay here."

"Injuries take some getting use to even while their healing." Carth helps her up. When she's ready, he will walk at her pace and be more cautious about his own pace.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash sighed and rubbed her head, her headache coming back. “No…if your sure then we would be fools not to take you with us…and I swear I’ll do all in my power to keep you safe…”

Scarlet walked with him more carefully and said “so are we thinking ash is more tied to the dragons then we thought? That story of the sister guardians is starting to make more sense”

[Jazz]

Orion waved a hand. "Ash, there is no need for such promises. I am of the mercy of the Mother Earth as well as her vessel. Giving me the ability to feel and give her fury upon those who do harm." His tone had a bit of mischievousness to it. Though he had been away from the outside world for a long time, Orion knew how unforgiving it could be. But he was ready for the challenge that would be ahead and how much mother henning he would be doing to this group of misfits.

Carth looked rather confused with the theory Scarlet brought up. "Wait. She's tied to dragons somehow? How so?" He asks.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Scarlet looked at Carth and said “Orion said in her fever state she spoke of protecting dragons…what other time would dragons have needed aid but wright before whatever happened to them”

Ash stood up and said “I still promise it. I plan on doing the same for the others…” the glow from before came back as she said “I will not allow these monsters to run free and do this harm any longer…I will end this whatever it takes…”

[Jazz]

Orion gave her what seemed to be a measured look, observing Ash as the glow came back from the last time she was in his care and how it seemed to have come into being. "I will say that is quite the promise. You might want to add glowing to that book of yours." He comments.

Carth's face brightened up in realization "OOOooooohhhh. I mean. It make sense. But in what way though?"

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash blinked then the glow faded and she stumbled back into the chair, holding her head. “What…is going on with me…glowing?”

Scarlet shook her head as they reached the hallway and said “not sure but we will figure it out “

[Jazz]

"That I cannot say for certain but it is quite something." Orion admits. He had a theory it might do with the promise she made. But that was uncertain without more facts.

"True." As soon as made it to the door, Carth knocked on Orions door.

Orion gets up from his seat and heads to the door. Opening it he finds Scarlet and Carth and smiles. "Ah Carth, Scarlet, what brings you here?"

"We came to find Ash. Is she with you?" Carth asks.

"Ah. Yes she is. She is finding out some new discoveries" He steps aside to let the two in. Carth cautiously steps inside to look to Ash.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ash was leaning on the table as the others came in and Scarlet looked at Orion. “What happened? Is she okay?”

[Jazz]

Orion closed the door and made his way to Ash. "She is alright. However been figuring out herself." He gently guides Ash to a chair before motioning the two to come sit. Carth came over and sat in a chair close to Ash.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Scarlet sat down as Ash looked at the others and said “I don’t know what’s happening to me…” Scsrlet looked at Orion and asked “is there anything you can give her to have these attack not as bad?”

[Jazz]

"I can only help with the pain. But how it's handled is up to Ash. This is mostly likely trauma based. I can only heal the physical and internal to a degree. I cannot heal the emotional." Orion states. He gets up again and walks over to his station with his herbs and mixes. He then sets up a mixes that will help with any discomfort. He takes it and pours some into her tea and mixes it. "Drink it while it's hot. It will help with any discomfort." Orion sits down at the table and watches Ash.
