Someone else had managed to snap Yuki out of his possession, leaving him a shaking wreck on the ground. With Riley holding him in a tender embrace, Jason crouched beside them, a hand reaching to move Yuki's away so he could check for signs of injury on the back of his head. He couldn't see any blood, but he was pretty sure there was gonna be a nasty bump.
"You were possessed by the black crystals." He answered his question, seeing the lost look in Yuki's eyes and frowning with concern. What the hell did Yuki see? "You're alright now" He tried to reassure him, then looked up at Riley. "I don't suppose you have any bandages?"

"No! No! No! Camilla, please no!" Shayne cried out as he rushed over and catch the brown haired girl. "Please wake up!" The redheaded boy cried out as tears began to rolled down his cheeks. "I'm sorry for hurting you, Camilla!" Shayne told her as he held her tightly. "I need help!" He called out to anyone that was around. "Anyone, please help her!"
The red haired boy's voice would go unheard as she remained unconscious... Even the shaking and cradling would not wake her! Deep in her mind as her consciousnesses would return to their proper place memories of the AU would begin to break into fragments and drift around... Some parts disappeared all together into the foggy depths of her memory but some parts... It was just a nightmare just another vision but... It had been scarily real...
Soon however she would know why it felt so real as memories of what her body did would begin to drift in... The similarities in how she moved in both realities the actions she took... Were disturbingly similar... But she would have to properly digest all these fragments once she was wakeful for this state of semi consciousness simply wasn't strong enough to proccess it all... As the memories would ease off it would leave a brief moment of peace... A silence that encompassed her heart, mind, and body... But peace such as that could only last so long and soon she was ready to wake...
Her breathing was shallow and she was pretty much a rag doll in Shayne's arms as her consciousness slowly began to return to her... At first she wouldn't hear anything or feel anything while she began to resurface but after a few long moments she would... The first and most prominent thing she would feel is... Pain... Suddenly she would heave a large breath and begin to move! Muscles once slack began to tense up slightly as her conscious finally registers the pain... "Nheg... Mmm... Mm... A-ah... ah..." she moans softly... Pain... why was there so much pain? Despite the fragments of memories that lie waiting to be seen her weakened mind was only focused on the deep aching pain which burned into her shoulders and back...
Because of this she was left confused and feeling vulnerable... Still she could not proccess his words but slowly she begins to cling to Shayne grabbing fist fulls of his garb and holding tight as if she might fall away any second... It was a strangely grounding act which was allowed her to feel safe if even forna moment... His continual shaking however only made her pain greater and soon she had her head resting on his chest with her face buried... She had begun shaking from the pain...
Normally she could tolerate pain such as this much better... Her quest for her Mantle which now was colored red by her blood had been more painful then this... But some how... The pain extended deeper then just flesh wounds... Also she'd never had arrows actively stuck in her before that was new... The arrow trap in the mountains had cut her but not pierced her... Cutting pain was different from piercing pain this she knew well and yet as of that moment... Pain was just pain...

Shayne's eyes widen as the brown haired girl grabbed him. What will he do? What could he do to help Camilla to ease the pain and heal her. "Please hold on, Camilla. I'm going pull the arrows out of you. It probably going to hurt a lot. However, they not doing you any good sticking into you like this." The redheaded boy told her softly as he reached for his bag and pulled out some bandages and alcohol. "Please hold on! I don't want to lose you." He added as he began to pulled the arrow out of her back carefully.

If it's okay could I bandages Camilla in a few post? This going be some big for Shayne and I want to see Camilla reaction stuff))
As her consciousness surfaced more and more she could now hear voices though they were muddied and distant sounding... She did however hear one word clearly enough... Arrows...? Is that where the pain was coming from...? As if to find out she takes a deep staggering breath only to let it out sharpy as pain surges through her! Yup something was stabbed into her... It was long and wobbled slightly when she breathed or moved... It was arrows... Her head began to spin while she continues to shake...
She could just make out him saying something about removing the arrows... Though her head was fogged up with pain she had enough mind to brace himself... However she wasn't expecting the arrows to be pulled out... slowly... "A-agh! Mmm... Nheg..." She moans with shuttering breaths as she grips his garb tighter while clenching her teeth and burying her face deeper into his chest as the arrows were pulled out... Arrows were best pulled out quickly in one good shot... To be pulled out slowly... Was long and agonizing... But... She didn't have much recourse in that moment...
First the arrow in her shoulder would come causing her to gasp out and release a breath she hadn't even known she was holding... Then the next arrow would come... This one had buried itself deeply into her back and would take several long minutes of prying to get it out safely... tears pooled at the corners of her eyes but she refused to let them fall... Refused to give into the pain which wracked her... Finally... At long last... Both arrows would be out! When at last the arrow came free she would release a shuttering shaky breath before relaxing and slumping against him... Her back and shoulder throbbed but the initial pain was now gone at least...

Go right ahead! Roll your attack dice (For you 1Dcool to heal
Oh btw arrows unless barbed should be pulled out quickly not slowly...
After he got the arrow out, Shayne remembered that he should have pulled them out quickly. "I'm sorry." He called out the girl in his arms as he began to damp the bandages into the alcohol. "This going to burn a bit." He added as he started to wrap it around her body tightly.

Eaak! Shayne isn't no doctor nor myself as well..... Poor Camilla.... At less she got some one trying to help her.... sweatdrop
Alcohol... She smelled it before she really processed his words... She knew what would be next and was ready for it! Sorta... She hisses with pain and curls in tighter on herself slightly as the acohol soaked bandages were wrapped around her middle and shoulder... Strangely though despite the searing pain from the alcohol on her wounds the alcohol on her skin felt almost good... Like it was cooling the burning pain around the wounds...
Finally the pain both alcohol borne and arrow borne would begin to ease off... Her consciousness had mostly returned and with it some of her endurance for pain... Slowly she would take a few more deep shuttering breaths before she would begin to stop shaking... Not long after that her breathing would begin to ease and she would begin to relax... However she remained where she was slumped against Shayne... She didn't yet have the will or desire to make any large movements just yet...

Lol haven't you ever gotten a thorn or something in your foot? It's best to pull stuff like that out quickly because you have one large sudden pain instead of one long drawn out pain but hey! You learned something! : D XD
Oh but if it's barbed or hooked you don't pull it out quickly! Doing so would just make the wound bigger!
"Just relax and rest for now, Camilla" Shayne whispered softy as he was still holding her tightly. Tears were still rolling down the redheaded boy's cheeks and he still was upset about attacking her like he did. His hands were soaked with Camilla's blood and their clothes as a bit bloody as well. However, Shayne didn't care as long Camilla was alright. "Please forgive me, Camilla, I'm sorry for attacking you." The boy said in softly voice
"Stop that." She grabbed for the reaching hand, pulling him back towards himself. "You're hurt."
When Jason asked her if she had bandages, her answer was a silent nod, and she reached for them quickly. She handed the tight roll over to Jason, and then gently settled Yuki back down, her hands refusing to let him sit back up. She took care of his weapons, then; picking them up off of the floor and securing them on his belt. Then she took the bandages from Jason's hand, and began to wrap them around to cover the base of his skull.
She'd gotten better at this. Her touch was firm when it needed to be, and gentle where it mattered. When the bandages were secure, she leaned down and pressed a kiss to his forehead.
"I suppose it was your turn, after all." She admitted, breaking out into a weak smile for both him, and Jason. Now each of them had a turn at madness. Perhaps that would be the end to their struggles.

His arms wrapped around her were strangely comforting... They were like a steadying presence that made her feel safe... Though not in the sense that Yuki might feel it as but as a sibling or friend might feel it... Soon the pain begins to subside and other things start to come to the fore in her mind like... Why had she been shot with arrows to begin with...? She had missed all his apologies until now and upon hearing his latest one a light confused expression would wash over her face... However she didn't move and simply kept her face buried in his chest as she tried to process it all...
Slowly ever so slowly the fragments of memories that had been waiting patiently for her to recover would start to drift in... She soon starts to tense up as pieces of events float before her eyes... pieces that were anything but pleasant... They were confusing to say the least... Fortunately even with the direct overlap at times the Trance was easy to tell from Reality... That Trance... As she thinks about the pieces she could remember her stomach begins to twist and knot uncomfortably... She could remember the growing madness... remember Shayne... dying... and remember some of the monster she became... the memories of the sheer delight her monsterous trance self took in ripping into the faceless knights... made her want to be sick... Truely it did... Her stomach would begin to roil slightly and she would curl up a bit more before pushing the memories away...
Reality hadn't been much better... Her grip on Shayne's clothes would tighten slightly before releasing as fragments of reality floated before her... Fortunately the massive damage she had done in the Trance did not reflect Reality... She had done fairly minimal damage to Shayne... But... She still had hurt him in her entranced state reguardless of the amount... And all because of a moment of carelessness... The pain she had suffered with the arrows felt... just... She had made a mess of things with Yuki and in her bid to give them their space she got careless and... Finally she lets out a long shuttery breath with a sad expression... She... She couldn't change what happen... Couldn't go back and be more careful... But she could at least apologize... Which would be the first important step she needed to take to forgive herself...
Slowly she would slide her face upwards careful not to drag the noseguard of her helmet too sharply against his chest before tilting her head back to face him properly... Since regaining consciousness her eyes had been closed the entire time... yet she knew it had been Shayne holding her... Knew it from the way he held her... with how he pulled the arrows out... and from the sound of his voice... Now finally as she would face him she would open her eyes for the first time sense being freed! Her natural soft shadow black eyes would look sadly into his... The final indication that she was free... The whites of her eyes were no longer black and the coal blackness had been replaced by a softer shadow black...
As her eyes look into his they would lid sadly for a moment before opening fully again and finally she would speak "I... I'm Sorry..." she says softly her voice held sadness in it but it was sincere as well... She would continue to hold the eye contact as she searches his eyes hoping to find forgiveness...
Shayne just smiled at her for a bit as he was happy to see the brown haired girl was fine. Out of nowhere, he gave the girl an enormous hug. "Don't worry about it, Camilla. Everything turn out fine in the end." Shayne whispered in her ear. "I'm just glad that you didn't kick the buckled." He added as pulled away to look into her eyes.

Aymet had wandered in somewhere near the back of the procession of knights. He'd long since lost sight of Shun, but their orders had been pretty clear - take back the castle.
Though he hadn't spoken up against the plan, he didn't appear to be too heavily invested, either. After all that had happened here, it would have been better to build anew than to think they could take back this ruin. It was already shot through with strange black shards of crystal, and cold as death. Whatever evil lurked here now, it was buried too deep. Why bother? The new round of Great Knights were going to give their lives in vain, but even he had no alternatives, and thus, kept silent.
So when the groups began to separate, he stood aside, and regarded the waistloop of golden beads Riley had bestowed on him during the prison break. A partial smile crossed his lips, something he hadn't managed in days. He'd tricked her, and he knew it. For a token of her affections?
No.
It was an excuse to talk to her again, perhaps. To be remembered. And pretend that he had something worth fighting for.
She heard the familiar tapping - not of footsteps, but of heavy beads knocking roughly against one another. It was a lullaby, a sound that meant enough to her to catch her attention, even in the direst of times. She looked up, and there was Aymet, standing there just holding them in his hands. She'd almost forgotten that she'd let him borrow them to escape, but she hadn't seen him since. When she realized he was smiling at them, she began to suspect that they hadn't actually helped him in any manner.
"Stay down." Riley commanded, pressing one hand to Yuki's cheek as if just the touch of it could keep him from being stubborn enough to move. She looked up at Jason, her eyes signalling him to watch over Yuki, before she stood up and swished silently to stand a few feet in front of Aymet. She folded her arms up in front of her, and cleared her throat.
"Have they brought you luck?" She did not sound entirely happy that he was still holding them, but neither was she upset - she still couldn't figure out if his actions in the dungeon had been honest or not.

The corners of his mouth twisted into a startled grimace as he looked up.
She was back. He relaxed a little, and put on an expression of amusement to cover up his battle-weariness. It was clearly fake.
"You're here," he began, and he couldn't seem to stop himself. It was too easy to be crude, and taunting. Far less effort than being honest. His hand closed tightly around the beads, and looped the whole thing over his shoulder, so as to keep them moderately out of reach. "So I suppose they did."
Her hesitance turned to a frown when he looped her beads over his body. That was the opposite intention she'd been hoping for, when she confronted him. But she could tell that there was something off about the way he teased her, and it kept her from reacting to his obvious attempt to ruffle her feathers. Instead, she unfolded her arms, and held out her hands.
"I'm glad. Maybe they gave you something to think about. You needed a little weight to bear, and I hope it did you some good. But I regret to inform you that I would like them back, now. So while I'm sure you've put them to excellent use so far, perhaps you could pass them over?"
Her palms faced upwards in front of him, and her expression was expectant, but her eyes were narrowed slightly as she tried to figure out what was wrong. She knew all of his flowery words and unsubtle attempts at flirtation were more of a ruse than ever, but this time she wondered what he was hiding. A bone-deep loneliness, perhaps - but there was no way to be sure.
