Welcome to Gaia! ::

When her father and her sisters and herself and come to visit the herd of her father's, they had all decided to stay. With her father and aunt now mated, there was really no reason for them to leave. Since they had been inhabiting the same area, Kesi had volunteered to help with patrolling, finding the run of a certain line quiet and refreshing thing to do each day. A sense of regularity. Although her patrols had been fairly boring as of late, Kesi still found it relaxing. She was just starting out her patrol today, she started her route and extended outward as she was supposed to do a little each day. Running along, she thought she spotted something odd out in the distance, a mix of brown and black. As she neared it, she realized it was an azrein! An azrein that was all burned on it's sides and looked near death. Kesi ran close to him but slowed to a walk as to not startle him, she had confirmed that it was a male now. "Excuse me, Sir? Can you hear me sir?" Pain filled her voice as she noticed how bad the stallion's condition was.

This was bad. Very very bad. Kesi didn't know what to do. He needed help. More help than she could give. What could she even do? Water. He needed water. Where was the nearest stream? Should she leave him? What if something happened while she was away. Wait. There was a lake nearby. Yes. She would go there and get some water. How would she carry it? She'd figure something out she decided. "I'll be right back, I promise." She said as she ran towards the lake. Once she reached it, the mare waded in, soaking her entire body, making sure her mane and tail got soaked and even taking some water into her mouth. She would have to go slow but she would make it. Kesi went as fast as she could without becoming winded or choking. Trying to keep as much water as she could. Once she got back, her face warmed at the thought of what she should do. Stretching her neck, she nosed his face, her mouth still retaining some water. Water dripped from her mane onto the stallion's face as she leaned closer, letting the water flow slowly from her mouth into his, hoping he would sense the water and swallow. It was weird, she knew, but it was likely the only way for his survival. Kesi felt like a momma bird, taking care of it's chicks.

Seeing that the male still had enough in him to swallow the little bit of water she had provided, Kesi shook her coat of all the water it had held. Water sprayed everywhere, landing on the male that was so hurt on the ground. She hoped it provided some comfort to the burns that he held. It was then that she heard her name. It was Bastett, she had forgotten that she went on patrol early, leaving her sister behind because she was too impatient. "Bastett! Thank goodness you're here! I am so sorry I left you behind. But this male! He needs help. He is badly burned and near death. Please, sister. Help me." She pleaded her sister. She didn't know what it was, but she wanted, she needed, this stallion to live, and she would do everything in her power to make sure that happened.

Kesi's eyes squinted shut at the male's cries but knew her sister was being rational and correct. Ra. Yes Ra would help them. Going to the male's other side, the side that was pressed to the ground. She laid next to him, her wet hide pushed against his to help him to his feet. The two mares sandwiched him between them. It helped that he was a little taller then the both of them but she knew it still caused him pain. "Thank you Bastett." She whispered as she silently prayed to Ra.

Once they had reached the lands her family most oftenly inhabited, she thought it was far enough. "I think we should stop here, sister. We don't need to make a scene with everyone, I am not sure how Grandfather Enthallion would like this. Do you think you could go get father? This place is sunny enough to pray to Ra."

As they settled the male on the ground Kesi felt herself closing her own eyes and lifting her head to the sun. The warm sun of Ra basked on her coat as she began to plead to Ra, Osiris and Isis to heal this wounded warrior. She knew she didn't know of this stallion's alignment, but everyone deserved a second chance. And maybe this was this warrior's second chance. Kesi felt herself relaxing, a sense of peace settling over her, her own prayer slipping into rhythm with her sister's chanting.

Kesi's own voice grew quiet as she heard the voice of their god in her mind. Her whole body was soothed as she lay next to the now sleeping warrior. Her eyes open to look to her sister. Never had Kesi had such a great interaction with Ra, never had he spoken so openly to her and she knew it was a great omen. If Ra said her warrior would live, then he would. "Thank you Ra, thank you Bastett." She said quietly into the warm afternoon air.
