Iphigenia stumbled and fell against a tree, unable to force herself along any farther. The stab wound to her abdomen was a lot worse than she had thought it was. She pressed a hand against it, and felt hot blood well out. When she lifted her hand, it was coated with slick blood. She was miles away from the nearest safe camp. Mentally, Iphigenia started counting the miles. In her mind, she mapped the surrounding area while trying to figure out the best course of action. The closest source of medical aid. She came up empty. Was this it? Never had could Iphigenia be described as a quitter, but now she was having a hard time figuring a way out of it. Five years out from the start of her senshi career, a life that had all but consumed her, and she was staring at the darkness. It wasn't the first time though.
She took a deep breath and focused on getting her breathing under control. She pressed against her wound in an attempt to staunch the blood. Iphigenia could not die here.
Yet, just when she thought she had everything accounted for, she felt the pinpricks of a familiar aura. Chaos. The familiarity swirled in a cloud of chaos, and Iphigenia knew who it was. She snarled. Asclepius was not someone she wanted to see, especially since the other senshi had made the trip through the mirror.
"Stay away!" She barked, unable to tame her pride.oneironym Hope this is okay, if you want anything changed, let me know!

"Or what?" Asclepius replied calmly. "You'll bleed on me?"
She stepped out from the shadow of a tree, the red and white of a small backpack in her hands standing out against the blue and black of her uniform. The Dark Mirror's eye emblem sat at the center of her forehead, marking her as less likely to be a foe, at least, and as she stepped towards the injured senshi, the brown-haired lady held her hands out, showing her palms as an indication that she intended no violence.
Still, her tone was not precisely friendly. "I felt a guttering aura and thought I would come see who was wandering around in the middle of nowhere in less than ideal shape. I don't know how much they mention me back at the White Moon hospital, but my name is Asclepius and I'm a doctor."
Approaching the other girl, the Senshi of Medicine shrugged little backpack down off of one shoulder and started to unzip it. "Sit down slowly, and I'll see what I can do for you." There was not a hint of a question about it in her voice, either; she did not want to waste time with this girl if she could avoid it, especially once she saw the blood shining on her fingers.

"Yes, all over you and your pretty fuku." Iphigenia replied, as she watched Asclepius appear from the shadows. Still, she could do nothing but sigh in defeat and she sank down against the tree in accordance with her requests. Asclepius may be part of the Dark Mirror Court, but she would not harm her. Iphigenia knew that even without seeing her out-turned palms.
"I know your name," the senshi said, "I knew you once." Iphigenia wondered how she could explain, and then realized that nothing she said now would bridge the gap between them. The Asclepius she knew had slipped away into the darkness. She tucked memories of letters from lifetimes ago away. "I don't think you remember that though."
