“Mugen... come, this way.”
*The female dog beckoned softly as she padded along, moving her body quickly. She was worried… it had been a while now and the thoughts of Temari clouded her mind like a black omen; she was sick, Temari was sick and Eira wanted badly to help her! She knew that her mate was hurt and discouraged by this and that her friend was in pain… Eira vowed to do whatever she could to heal her friend, so this is what she would do.*
“We have to find her! Before it's too late..."
*Moving faster now the female started off in a run as she flexed her forepaws out widly as she moved onward. She hoped that Mugen would understand her… this was something she had to do! She would follow Temari’s sent… she just had to find her and fast.*

Mugen tried keeping up with Eira best he could without runnig out in front of her. Mugen didn't want to get lost all the way out here, he had no idea where they were going. The only thing he knew is that this was important to Eira, and for that he would follow her wherever she would lead them to.
"Alright Eira I'm coming!" he said aloud, closing his eyes once he imagined his wings carrying him farther, faster, he was stronger. Eira had wings here too, they were flying so fast, so far. Surely they would get there soon. Surely, least thats what he hoped.
"We will find her Eira we will, I know you can get us to her," he said with a smile, encouraging Eira as much as he could. He didn't want her worrying so much, but something had to be up for her to be this way.

 For a few brief moments it seemed like Temari was back, but that was simply because the wind was rolling with her sickened body and throwing her farther and faster ahead. Her small paws were hitting the ground like the beating of a thousand paws, yet they were hitting it so softly that se barely left an imprint on the grass at all.
The golden female had to find it, had to find her way to where it was. But what it was... she didn't know. All she knew was that at the end of it was a white light where everything else was red and painful.
A swirling tye-dye of colors moved before her eyes like a kaleidascope, making her sick, though the only thing that ran from her muzzle was her own thinning blood. The little wild dog was moving with the wind only as long as her blood would allow her, dust kicking up behind her in mountains as she moved faster than even a cheetah could.
Temari of the Wind, she'd earned that name back when her sanity had been cemented, back when she could blink and not spit up blood. But here she was, looking for her own death among the stars... among the millions of kin she'd had that had died out on these lands before.
A slow tear worked its way down her soft golden cheek, ripped away by wind as she kept moving. The red sun was rising in the distance, it was time for her to go... ninja

*Moving as fast as she could possibly go now Eira moved, panting deeply as her muzzle hung open. Her paws hurt so much from the pressure she was putting on her body but right now that didn’t seem to matter. She could small her sent… the faint taste of blood laced along her jaws as she panted and gasped. A deep drop spilt her heart in two as she stopped herself and looked around franticly. She would small her!—but where was she? Was she moving?
Turning herself back to Mugen the female sobbed aloud and spoke with a pained tone.*
“No... No! I can’t find her! I can’t see her! Where could she have gone? I do not want her to… No...”
*She was so worried now… what if? What… no. That couldn’t happen, not to such a strong dog. Looking away from her partner Eira panted and whined to herself, trying to regain her train of thought. She needed to block out all other emotions right now… she needed to sniff out Temari’s tracks… but… se felt so useless… was it too late?*
“Mugen... I can’t smell her… I can’t find her... Can you… can you smell the sent of blood?”

Mugen didn't really know what was happening, no one had told him, yet his thoughts were thinking of the worst. But it would hurt Eira so much, he didn't want to see her in pain, didn't want her to be sad, so he was trying, trying to pick up the scent of one unknown to him.
"Shhh Eira shh..." he was trying to comfort her, but he didn't know how well that was working. His violet eyes peered around frantically, trying to see anyone around. But there was nothing but both of them out here.
The mentioning of blood as a scent made his eyes widen, then be almost less than open. He knew that smell, remembered it in his vaguest nightmares. He turned his nose to the wind and breathed deeply, closing his eyes he fell into the sky again, wings keeping him hovered over everything else. Eira was perched on a cloud.
The blood scent made a cascading ribbon of red float amongst the clouds, he followed it slowly as first, but it was too long, winded so much. "Eira, this way, I can see it," he said in reality, his eyes were closed but he began to run in a different direction, following the scent. It was there, he would help her find the one he did not know.

It didn't take long for Temari to run out of wind, for her to fall to the ground and roll, her shoulder digging into the ground and one of her ribs cracking. A listed over green eye shut with a wince as she yelped and writhed on the ground.
She'd known someone before that would have come running if she'd even made a sound, but she couldn't remember his name, she couldn't remember his face. Everything was washing away like normal, like it had been for months.
Tears came to the golden females eyes and she shoved herself to her feet, her body screaming as her rib bent into some unknown organ within her body. No... this wasn't time to cry, this was time to keep running, but her legs didn't take her as far as she wanted to go.
Blood poured down out of her muzzle and she slumped down to the savannah again, the tears slowly drying as she started to drift away. Maybe she wouldn't be able to make it where she wanted to after all. The distance seemed to grow with every breath she took and the female suddenly just very much wanted to lay down and die, to let it all wash away as her blood flooded from her muzzle and tears of red started to fall from her eyes.
Her own blood was burning from the inside out, shoving itself from her in a desperate attempt to just die. ninja

*Nodding at his words Eira set of in the said direction and quickly. At first she couldn’t fathom this; she didn’t want to believe that her friend was so hurt… but when she came up, moving closer to her fallen form the realization of this matter hit her and stunned her in place. She was so sick… Eira could smell it rolling off of her pelt. With a soft gasp the female wolf quickly rested herself beside her friend’s side and nuzzled her softly, sniffing her intently.*
“No… stay here, stay awake. I will find you help, please…just give me a few hours… please.”
*As she spoke she rested her head along Temari’s and let her own sad sobs pass her quivering muzzle.*
“Mugen—go to the jungle… get help! Please, there is a goddess there who can heal the poisoned, find her… please… hurry!”

Mugen watched as Eira rushed to the side of this other female wild dog. He felt his heart ache for the pain that Eira must be feeling along with what this female was suffering through. His ears fell back in consideration, he stayed a few feet back to give them time together. It was an awkward situation, but when Eira asked him to go get help, he snapped back into reality.
"The jungle? Where...I'll go, make sure she is alright..." he then turned and bolted towards the jungle, his chest was aching now from the running he had done, but he pushed himself even more. Tongue hanging from his maw as he ran, as he neared the jungles borders he did not slow. But crashed through the underbrush, hoping no one might fall in his path.
He wasn't sure which way to go, but kept running, Eira never gave him a name, or a description, he was tired, felt light headed but kept going, eyes frantically searching for a goddess like figure to appear.

Words swirled around her as shadows apeared before her listed green eyes. Temari wasn't quite sure what she was seeing, if they were real or not or if they were simply vauge things her mind came up with to keep her occupied while she died. Either way... she didn't quite know what was going to happen.
Was that... Eira? Somewhere in the back of her mind the name rang a bell as the female pressed herself to Temari's side.
"Ei...ra?" She said softly. Temari wasn't entirely sure what to say otherwise, she wasn't sure if she could. With every syllable she muttered more blood oozed forth and the gold femal hacked gently.
Nonono, this wasn't how she was supposed to go. Shoving herself to her small feet, the little female almost tottered over, but she managed to look around.
"Jaa.. maa." She muttered slowly. She knew she was supposed to meet him but she didn't remember where it was. ninja
