Alfina watched worriedly as she saw the woman beacon to a servant nearby and have him carry her away. When the woman was picked up, Alfina could see how frail and thin she looked, and she took pity on her. "Poor girl... I wish I could do something... Wait... Old Dalen might know something for her." She stood up and made her way to the stables.
Old Dalen was an herbalist in her village, and he knew cures for just about anything that came his way. Almost everyone in the village came to him to heal their sick or injured. Alfina hoped that he might be able to come to the palace to help her.

Asalah continued to let her two children suckle on her breasts. They were much heavier than expected as she held them in her arms and wondered how much bigger they could get? Malik was pretty tall and she felt she herself was tall as well.

Malik gave a glare to his brother. He was the real one their father loved. Malik was only the son of a minor wife. He had little to do with his father as his older brothers had. "Cure. If you die I will send your wives with you, pregnant or not. I don't want them. Only if you live will you have a son." Malik warned him. That was a promise that he would kill Cure's wives. He didn't want seconds. Besides what did his brother have more than a weak first wife and a common harlot for his second.

 Hearing his brother talk of killing his wives angered him despite his wound he quickly stood from the bed and pinded his brother to the wall he always kept a blade under the beds and it was quickly to his neck "You better choose your words wisely or you might just wake up down with the prisoners and we dont treat them well ." he spoke the words in a sinister way "and i give you my word on that, and as for your son." he said with an evil smirk on his face he too had spies about the place

Malik wasn't afraid of his brother. No one but the midwives could be in the room with his wife at this moment. He would have time to save his son and bring him away, but Malik didn't want his brother to think that he would worry for his son. "When are dead you can't stop me from doing such a thing. You'll have no voice and while your wives and all your children are dead I can still have more. You have two choices now; live and have a son or die and have nothing." Malik told his brother."

Alfina came to the stables and requisitioned a horse. Before she left, she left a message with a servant, telling Cure that she knew someone that could possibly help Tenri and that she was going to find him. She left, taking only enough to ensure that she could make it there and back in time.
Once she arrived, it only took a little convincing and an offer of payment to get Old Dalen to come with her.

Asalah sat in the room nursing her two new children and sighed. Malik had been gone a long time. She shouted for the guards and they rushed into her room. "All of you listen and listen well," she said setting down Sarah and her new son. "My husband has been gone to his brother's palace for a bit too long. I want you to all go there and check on him. Defend him if you must."
The guards nodded and quickly left the room. Having received their orders they went to the palace armory and equipped themselves scimitars and round shields. There were ten men in total and they marched quickly out of the palace on foot and headed towards Cure's home. "You heard the queen!" the leader of the group said as the group's feet touched the hot sand, "Make haste!" That is how they came about running for the palace.
Up in the palace's lofty balcony Asalah hoped Malik was okay. She looked out onto the desert sands and watched the guards disappear into the distance. Silently she clasped her hands together and prayed everyone who had gone to Cure's palace would return.

Alfina returned to the palace with Old Dalan riding a pack mule. She had offered him a horse, but he had insisted on it, so she let him ride it. Once inside, Alfina had only to ask around a bit before she found the woman, bed-ridden and asleep. "I don't care what you need, just do what you can." He only chuckled and set down his bag of herbs. "Milady, I have all I need right here." He said before opening up the bag and setting to work. After roughly half an hour mixing, grinding, and boiling herbs, he had a poultice ready for her. He gently patted her cheek and spoke softly to wake her. "Here now, wake up. This won't be of any use if you don't drink it." He said. angelmage99 On one of the balconies sat a woman wearing nothing buy black. She was very young looking, but weak at the same time. Her skin was much paler than that of any other woman around and it was clear that she didn't come from the land around her. The woman took a look down noticing the other before looking back up with the same frown that she had the whole time.

The woman woke up in a panic. She didn't know anyone was there at all. She looked at the doctor and the other woman. Her face suggested that it one of terror. She was unable to speak or say anything to fight against the other. Tien Li got into a fighting pose as if she would fight the people in her room.

Old Dalan jumped back at bit, nearly spilling the poultice, but he frowned at her when she took that stance. "Now you know you won't be any good like that. It's a miracle you're standing as it is. Now sit down and drink this!" He ordered in a tone that brokered no argument, much like a parent scolding a child. "I didn't go through all the trouble of making this just to let you exert yourself to death." He muttered with a huff.

Tien was clearly too weak to fight him if she was pinned down, but she still had the look of a fighter while they were in the room. The room faintly smelled of blood and it was clear how she came into her weakened state.

Alfina stepped forward tentatively. "Please... We just want to help. I brought him here to help you get better." She said, a look of concern clear on her face.

Tien drew back a bit from a fighting position. She wasn't sure if she would let the woman help her. After all they were rivals. If Tien was out of the way then the other woman wouldn't have to kill her. Then again all the woman would have to do was wait. Tien was so weak that she could die without having a hand placed on her. Maybe this woman was trying to help her. She let out a nod since she had no more voice.

Stardust Drifter "Me too.." he said wrapping an arm around her and pulling her close into a side hug. "I love you Zorya Venimian..." he cooed to her happily. The night grew cool as crickets began to sing their own harmonies. Dash shivered a bit. Pulling her inside he began to kiss her sweetly. "Goodnight my love..I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow to see your sweet face." he said blushing slightly. The female returned the kiss and smiled a little bit at her husband. "I wish the hours would pass quicker." She whispered by his ear pulling back a very little bit. Wrapping her arms around him once more the female pulled him in a gentle hug enjoying the moment of being in his arms. A small smile formed on her face as she cuddled into him for a moment glancing out the near by window.

Old Dalen huffed and pointed at the bed. "Well, now we understand each other... Sit." Once she was on the bed, he handed her the poultice. "Now drink. It won't help your malnourishment, but it will treat your biggest problem. After a bit of rest and a good meal, you should be just fine."
