Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a lovely day out, and it had just felt like a day for an adventure to Davvyd. He'd opted to venture out to the Ruins. Who knew what interesting trinkets one could find that might impress a pretty doe back in the Homewood. While many Nouls might be thinking of a specific doe to impress, Davvyd really just wanted to impress them all. A pretty doe should have pretty, interesting things. And as far as Davvyd was concerned all does were pretty. As he trekked on he considered his recent trip to Grandfather Tree. At long last he had his gift. And he was a vivify user! He felt a little pride on that point.

It was the job of every Noul to heal Vykeli, but it was his job to heal those Nouls who took damage in the line of duty. And it seemed like many of them did. He'd heard tales of a group who'd recently gotten into some caverns in the barrens and into some terrible fight. He'd heard that without healing they certainly would have perished. A vivify user had saved the entire party! Now that was something to aspire to! And just think of all the does that would regard him with starry eyes if he managed a feat like that! He smiled.

Lost in his own thoughts he almost didn't notice the jackalope running at full tilt. The familiar looked panicked. Beyond panicked, even. "Hey! Are you all right?" He called out brightly, wondering if perhaps this familiar was bonded to a pretty doe. Maybe he could save the day!

The brindle jackalope skidded to a halt, breathing hard. "No! I need help! My Noul needs help! Something terrible has happened!" The words all ran together, and the jackalope was breathing hard, sides heaving.

Davvyd trotted over, brow furrowed. "What happened?" He looked down at the creature, doing his best to portray a calm, confident and collected aura. Internally he was hopeful this would be his chance to save the day.

"Indira she was exploring and then the floor fell out from under her and she's wounded and we need help!" The words here close to a jumble, but Davvyd managed to follow along. He nodded, trying to be reassuring. He'd certainly understood the word 'she' and the Nouls name.

"Take me to where the accident happened. I can help. I'm a vivify user!" He puffed out his chest. This was his moment!

The familiar just nodded and took off. Davvyd loped after it. Before too long, they reached a door to a structure built by the Others. The familiar scrambled inside. Davvyd cautiously followed. It wouldn't do to have the ground come out from under him. Can't rescue anyone if you're injured yourself and all that. He could hear the familiar calling to their Noul, telling her that help had arrived.

Davvyd squinted into the darkness, and made out what appeared to be a stairwell. "I've found a way down, hold tight!" Taking extreme care with each step he inched towards the stairwell. The flooring squealed under him. he held his breath, hoping not to plummet like the Noul before him just had.

Davvyd made it to the bottom of the stairs. He hadn't liked the noises they had made, but he'd managed it. At the bottom he was greet by the sight of a very pretty doe who was also very much in need of some healing. One of her front legs was splayed out at an unnatural angle, it had to have been broken in her fall from above.

"Well, fancy finding you here. Your familiar mentioned you'd had a bit of an accident. Fear not though, I can heal you!" He tried to give his best, most winning smile. This was like a story told to foals! And he was the star. Everything was going right to plan as far as he was concerned. "I must tell you, the healing will hurt. But it will work. Then we can see about getting out of here."

He closed his eyes and concentrated. Hard. He was still a complete novice with his gift. It required his total concentration. He focused as much as he could, and directed his magic towards her leg. Even through closed eyes he could see bright light. He sensed the bone in her leg knitting itself back together, the splinters and shards pulling carefully into place. He also heard her pained gasp as it happened. He tried to block out the sound, he needed to finish the healing so they could get out of here. It wouldn't do to have to fetch someone else to finish the job.

After what felt like an eternity to him, he sensed that his primary job was done. Davvyd felt totally drained. He couldn't use another ounce of his gift if he tried. Breathing hard, he opened his eyes, and surveyed his handy work.
