Welcome to Gaia! ::

(( WTF POSTING GLITCH?

EDIT: Nvm o___o that was weird ))

Y'know, I buy all the presents I give out in aquariums..

Mumbling a little to herself out of anxiousness, Lorika pulled a bottle of holy oil from one of her inside pockets and tipped it over the injured part of the wing, before massaging it in rather roughly. What did it matter whether she was gentle or not? Right now, though she hated to think it, Feline was clinically dead.

She repeated the same with a second bottle, before pulling out a flask of clear holy water. She put her fingers into the strangely warm liquid and flicked it around the immediate area, including over Feline's already wet body. The Priestess made sure to use large amounts, and her muttering was now a lyrical-sounding prayer. Then, she tipped the final third of the bottle over the oiled wound, and gently positioned the wing into a better position for healing.

She held out her arms, hands facing towards the sky in a gesture of giving - or receiving - and allowed her head to loll backwards. Her mumbled prayers ceased abruptly with an intake of breath. The Priestess' whole body seemed to jerk upwards, as if seized by an electric current. She was now kneeling somewhere between upright and on her heels, but the position didn't look odd. Her body looked as if it was being supported by invisible strings, or held aloft by a warm wind.

This second comparison might have been more apt. A gentle, warm breeze suddenly swished about the area. Anyone who looked at the Priestess now would feel an immense feeling of complete calm and relief. The noise of the waves seemed to abate and grow silent. The warmth conjured images of golden light working its way through the air, trickling into the Priestess' outstretched hands.

Then, as the silence became tangible, a stillness grasped the area, as if time were suspended in a moment of utter peace. Like something out of a dream, the Priestess moved her hands back into compression position.

Then, she fell. Her whole weight went down, and her arms went forwards. With one almighty pump, the energy that had been gathering was forced through the dead woman's chest. A golden light appeared to flood through her body, for such a short moment that it was unsure whether or not it had actually happened afterwards. Her wing was healed. Her chest rose with a sudden intake of breath. Her heart began to pump the stilled blood around her, flowing again with renewed vigour. Colour flooded her cheeks.

This all happened within a split second, and as the Priestess pulled her hands back from Feline's chest, the eyes of both women fluttered open as if waking from a long dream.

Harata continued to follow. "Let me carry one of them. This whole mess is my fault anyway." She spared a withering glance for Odin. "I just did."
(((That is how Harata apologizes.)))

Lorika was tired. She was VERY tired. Not only had she used as much of her power as possible to heal the Overseer... she'd healed Evelyn, and moved the two of them at least fifty metres with her mind. Now... she'd brought a woman back from the dead, a feat she'd only ever performed once before.

Yeah. She was tired. But after a few moments, the tiredness became... almost invigorating. It was the kind of tired one experiences alongside a resurgence in energy... like when working on a paper due the next day in the early hours of the morning. Though she had just given everything to put life back into Feline, she suddenly felt as if she could do it again.

The weight of her limbs numbed the pain in her foot... but she could still feel it. With a sigh, she shifted around to sit on her behind, and picked up her stocking-less foot to inspect the wound. Splinters, as she'd known. Well, it was easily fixed. Drawing a pair of tweezers from her pocket, she began to sift the wood from the wound. She didn't get very far, however, when the voices that had seemed so far off were suddenly almost upon her.

She sucked in her breath. No time to treat her wound. She'd have to use more of her power, and hope that it would be enough to dissolve any foreign bodies.

Jessie trudged towards the Priestess, Harata like a particularly frustrating gnat fluttering around behind him. He ignored her request completely - he wouldn't want her handling his things anyway - and they soon reached the laid-out casualties.

He placed the woman down to the right of Feline, and quickly began piecing the many layers of garments back onto his body. The transformation was quite astonishing; like a caterpillar suddenly metamorphosising into a stag beetle.

It took him only a couple of minutes or so to nimbly secure everything in place, which he did, ignoring the fact that his body and trousers were still dripping wet. He then looked down at the Priestess, who had been wiping blood off her foot but had now moved to clearing the red liquid from the winged creature's wing. She appeared fine, as did Feline, who had her eyes open and was breathing steadily. Behind the Priestess' back, the blonde-haired acolyte lay with nothing apparently wrong with her... and the Overseer, just behind that. His white hair was caked in blood, but he knew that Lorika would have healed him first of all.

Well... the worst seemed to be over. Perhaps the next step was transporting everyone back to the Temple - but before or after finding out what had happened?

He turned to Harata. "Tell us what happened. The whole story, if you please."

Harata kneeled down next to the Overseer, and placed her hand on his back. "Hey. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you hate me at the moment?" Then she turned to Jessie. "Eve was distraught. She thought she had lost the Overseer, and went to Barton to search. I followed. She was over confident, and got noticed, as we noticed what appeared to be the Sentinel. We talked with her. She had no idea who she was, and only the fuzziest of memories."
She paused, and moved into a sitting position, still next to the balled up Overseer.
"We were caught, the three of us by my old friends, and my old sensei, Elana. I distracted, then fought Elana as the presumed Sentinel and Eve ran. I won, knocking out Elana, and then, too, I ran. Bapp, I found out, later came to finish off the rest. I believe they are in police custody now. I managed to get this boat. Then we came halfway back to the island. I was unwilling to betray the trust you have given, and left the Sentinel with Eve on the boat, swimming to shore. I met the Overseer, Bapp, Angelique, and Kyo. After a short coverstation, we decided to swim back to the boat. I decided to let the Overseer drive with out instruction, as I was angry at the time. It was foolish. We then crashed."

She looked at him and laughed, without humor. "It is my fault you crashed the boat, and are hurt as you are now."
