12 Undercurrent part 1 (1/2)
It had been a while since the last time Elder Wolf felt that something could threaten him specially at this distance from the village.Immediately,he cast a ward to protect Bhirl from whatever was coming and got into a fighting a stance.
The Elder's choice turn out to be the right one, as an arrow hit the ward out of nowhere and tried to penetrate Bhirl's skull right between his eyebrows.
When talking about Healers, there was a clear distinction about their strengths and weaknesses.The strength of the shaman was their ability to stop damage from happening as oppose to healing the damage already done.It was a really bad match up for the ranger.
Right before the first magic ward dissipate a second stronger shield came up ready to stop more incoming damage.Having lost the initiative thanks to the amazing judgment of the elder, the ranger opted to withdraw at a quick pace.
While maintaining his vigilance the elder pick up the arrow and very quickly stash it away before grabbing Bhirl and quickly heading back.With spirit of the wolf on, the Elder managed to cross the 50 miles to the village in about 60 minutes.
The tension in the village could be felt by the elder as soon as he arrived.He made a Bee line towards the First elder's hut not delaying any longer.
Inside the Elders hut it was a pack house, the chief had already arrived and after inspecting the bear, he was complementing Rhaen for having such a brave son.Barbarians were straight forward people, they respected the strong and what Rahz had accomplished was nothing else but amazing.If it wasn't for the fact that Etta was watching him closely, Rhaen would probably had a drink or two to celebrate.
The moment the Elder walk through the door the whole room quite down.Bhirl was pass out at the moment but anybody could see that the wounds on his body were nothing to sneeze at.
Looking at her husbands pleading look, Etta put aside her discomfort and proceeded to check Bhirl's condition.Unlike Rahz, Bhirl was a follower of Yuna and the blessing was already working over time in order to close the wounds on his chest.
Etta began her Healing aria illuminating the whole hut.Very soon the light vanished just as quick as it came.The wounds on Bhirl's body disappear as emotes of holy light went into the air.
Bhirl opened his eyes and looked all around.He was desperate to find out exactly what was going on but he knew that if it was not for the Elder that help him at the last moment he would not be able to see his dad again.
”Thank you Elder wolf for saving my life”.
Elder wolf never expected that thanking him was the first thing that the young lord would do but he was pretty please.His impression of Bhirl went up another notch.
”Aren't you going to thank Lady Etta for healing you?”Said the chief.
Bhirl quickly turn to look at Rahz's mother and did the barbarian salute thanking her for her kindness.
” It was nothing Bhirl.Even though your wounds healed by a large margin, you still need to get some rest to recuperated.I am sure that your Mother might be worry and would love to see that her son made it back OK”
Bhirl was very quick witted for a Barbarian, he realized that there were matters to discuss and it was too early for him to be involved.
”How is Rahz? Will he be OK?”
With a kind smile on her face, she grabbed the hands of her son and said ” Yes he will, the wounds he suffered were pretty severe but nothing that can't be fix.Please visit him when you have the time”.
Bhirl nodded before walking out of the room.
As soon as Bhirl left the temperature of the room dropped down a few degrees.Everyone turned to look at the elder in charge of the test with serious gazes.The Elder organized his thought for a second then proceeded to show the arrow that had almost claimed Bhirl's life.
