SAVAGES
You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to ALL: I laid upon the river bank unmoving right now ... pain pulsed through my form as I slowly began to twist ... the Kurs from earlier took a toll upon me and the broken ribs ... the lack of food and water began to break me down ... my breaths were short shallow breaths as I tried to sit up ...

Chalice
....of Red Fjord....
You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to ALL: She often moved best at night..the shimmer of the tri-moons a haunting light against the smooth flow of the river yielded more than enough light for a slight figure to slink along the shadow's cling. Shifting the make-shift pack to resettle along a lanky spine's stretch a cautious stride allowed booted feet to cover the ground nearly silent...knowing soon exhaustion would claim another risky chance at sleep..the idea entirely elusive when nerves and fear kept pretty green eyes wide most of the night. It was no wonder she often climbed a tree and cat napped during the day.

SAVAGES
You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to ALL: I coughed lightly trying to keep it under the sound of the night ... I cupped some water from the river and brough it to my lips and drank what I could. I paused and listened ....... silence ....... I continued to drink the water before dragging myself behind a tree and some bushes ... the pack well hidden behind me ... the bow was nocked as I now just leaned back and closed my eyes for a moment ... I couldnt sleep because I knew I would wake up days later ... I yawned and couldnt stifle it ... but I was alive .. surviving ... needing a break .... it wouldnt be long till the Kurii sent scouts this way ...

Chalice
....of Red Fjord....
You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to ALL: Nearly mid-step she froze...fiery strands long-since loosened from a tied-knot at the nape of her neck tilted left as the young woman strained to listen..to nearly soak in the sounds of the night...a cough..such a simple non-threatening sound in the day to day at the Fjord took on a whole new meaning on a night when the restless winds stilled..the sharp bite of winter's promise making her grateful for a fur that nearly drenched a slight form.
Trying to calm a trip-hammer heart, a quick prayer lifted to Odin as a sharp mind raced through options and possibilities..did she slink along and escape what-ever..WHOever made the noise and pray for refuge in the night's cling...or was the safer bet finding its' source...the conclusion nearly forgone as Rholf's daughter knew better than to leave a threat to follow dangerous at her back even as slender fingers tightened on the same rough hewn spear that had yielded a spiked fish's supper earlier in the evening. Blowing a soft breath silent sigh...she moved closer to the noise..to the brush with every sense she had screaming their warning.

You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to .|... Soul Asylum ...|. : I fought to keep my eyes open as I finally found a position of somewhat comfort ... sweat beaded upon my brow on this cold night ... eyes fluttered closed then snapped opened once again .. for the love of Odin I needed my strength ... I needed something ... and then it was heard ... a shuffle or a step upon the fallen leaves ... it was out of place or was it just my mind playing tricks ... having no mercy upon me ... at any rate ... my gaze locked upon the area before me ... as I drew the bowstring and arrow back ... taking a steady practiced aim ....

You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to ||--The Red Blood Man--|: It could be Kur..she knew that..had heard their grunts awhile back..yet oddly enough she also knew at her Mother's training that the cough sounded weakened. But even with the shadow rattle telling its tale, Chalice also knew that weakened and cornered meant a high risk in all animals..even those of the two variety.
Narrowing the riveting focus of drowning green shards, her nostrils flared softly at the scent of Man...just as a gentle breeze shifted the brush..the glint of an arrow's head ..unerringly aimed about mid center of a lanky frame beneath the pelt...a bow..a large hard's deadly menace...the terrifying threat knotted the acidy taste of fear in the pit of a belly the simply dove for the ground ..The hint of a spear's clatter finding the leaves...a blur of fire-kissed strand and soft groan's reaction to the leave's shelter of a rock driving into her left side.

Soul Asylum ...|. : and as your form came into sight ... it was then it registered it was gorean ... not an animal, not a kurr, not a beast ... and the bow and arrow were dropped as I slumped forward and then off to my right side as my eyes fluttered closed and the injuries overtook me .... I was now lifeless

You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to ||--The Red Blood Man--|: Even from the ground..she missed very little..watching the lifeless slump she'd seen far too often in tending villagers at her Mother's side...those fresh from a raid's attempt to steal what little they had to survive the winter's savagery.
A scuttle of quick limbs closed the distance..assessing quickly even as small shoulders were throwing off the fur...the makeshift pack...a light grip instinctively reaching the Man's shoulder..his earlier threat gone..a sharp shake accompanied her voice, "wake up!...don't you die or we're likely both dead, dammit"...she hissed in a low growl...knowing the Kur scouts were never too far off.
Seeing no response..a limp reaction's lifeless reaction, a small hand dove into the pack for a bota even as the other landed sharply dead center the Man's impossibly large chest. When all else failed you sought a pain response..something below the primal..something to unearth life fastly leaving this plain toward Valhalla..."live Savage"...she hissed.."You'll find no Valhalla's welcome this way"..the bota's skin left at her side as both hands pounded what she feared was fruitlessly at his chest.

DEEP BREATH OF AIR
My eyes snapped opened as I took deep gasps... ignoring the horrid pain of my ribs as my right hand quickly shot to my right calf to draw the large knife ... my head snapped around as my gaze fell upon you .... everything stopped as my right hand once more fell to the ground .... my lips moved but nothing came out .... and as I tried to sit up my right hand woke up and quickly snaked around my ribs as my jaw clenched ...

says to ||--The Red Blood Man--|: For an ehn she was nearly as breathless as you were...nearly..half knelt over you...a river of fire-kissed waves curtaining delicate features now twisted somewhere between a flooding relief and dawning realization of that knife hand and her own inept grasp at life should you rally with an intent to simply kill the cause of your pain. She nearly slumped herself as she saw the knife's blade fall to the ground...a slight hand's careful touch at the back of your right hand.."easy...soft breaths now"...quiet tones whispered in the moonlight...an attempt to soothe the savage even as she was lifting a bota fat with crystal clear waters and moving to lift your head slightly..bottomless green jewels splitting the gaze cautiously between the unknown threat of you and an assessment of your breathing...the signs of your pain. "Drink this...small sips..you don't want to cough"..came the quiet urging. Knowing there was nothing in her bag for the pain.

says to .|... Soul Asylum ...|. : I had settled now ... drinking the water slowly as the feel of flesh against flesh .. a touch ... it all brought a warmth back into me as the shivering subsided ... my right hand somehow was clinging to your left leg as I slowly gained more and more consciousness ... 'Ashoge ... thank you' .... I was of two different worlds .. that of the Torvaldsland and that of the Savages ... I had to the Torvie size and crystal blue eyes ... the darker flesh of the Savages and black hair .... 'we need to move away' ... words still were labored but I knew the dangers that we could not face at the present moment .... 'now' .... and I slowly began to push up to my feet ... pain was evident as it streamed across my face .... and expressions ..

You have stopped along the river bank and are on beach or in a forest area
says to ||--The Red Blood Man--|: Feeling the roughened touch at a shapely leg...the ruined kirtle's tatters shifted as she slowly stood with you. Rising fluidly almost up underneath your right side to bolster if she could. However daunting -that- task might seem as the bulk of your frame towered a 5'5" frame.
The combination of words drew an odd glance...the questions written in a quiet gaze saved for now..for another time if they lived that long..bending quickly she settled her pack against a slender back and drew to tippi-toes to settle the fur against your own..the shivering something she wanted abated ..instinctively...your health..was her own life's ticket through the thick Northern Forest.
Standing again, your own pack lifted in her outer hand as a supple strength came easily beneath your shoulder, "not far..just to a bit safer place, please'...she whispered..'you need rest, Savage".. although this time the word wasn't spat with the distaste of her Father's teachings. This time she knew...at least until they reached some sort of civilization ..they were stuck together and the redhead was oddly grateful..though you'd likely never hear it from her mouth.
