Nel slipped Aser her last apple since Daae was walking in front of them. She kissed the horse and hugged his neck.

Aser nickered softly and nuzzled her happily. Daae was walking a bit too fast before them, his form growning smaller and smaller.

Nel chuckled and rubbed his mane. "Looks like Daae's leaving us behind." She said with quiet laughter.

Aser's ears perked as Daae stopped suddenly and backed off at something. He jerked and fell back. The horse made a noise and ran at him.

Nel ran after Aser, but she couldn’t keep up. She grew wings like Ardis’ and glided up on the thermals. Now it was much easier to keep up with the horse.

Aser stopped as he saw what attacked Daae. The cobra lifted it's head and unfurled it's neck, hissing.

Nel came up behind the cobra. She waved a wing in front of it, reaching for its tail. “Daae? Aser, can you move him?”

Aser grabbed the back of the ranger's tunic and pulled him away.
The snake hissed and watched her wing.

Nel grabbed the end of the tail lifting the snake slowly. She continued to wiggle her feathers in front of the snake. “Can you tell if he is bit?” She asked the horse as sweat rolled into her eyes. She blinked to clear them.

Aser made a sad noise, "On the arm."
The snake lashed at a feather, but missed. It hissed and bared it's fangs.

Nel took a grip on the snake and swiftly flung it aside. She moved over to Daae. “Where’s the bite?”

Daae panted and showed her his hand. Two tiny cuts in his flesh bled badly.

Nel sighed. She took his hand between hers and bowed over it like she was praying. A soft green light gathered around her hands, healing the punctures and stopping the poison. She looked up after a few minutes. “Are you alright now?”

Daae smiled lazily, " Very... thanks..." He slumpt, the effect of the poiosn damage, the little it did, making him tired.

She tugged on his arm. “’Mon bucko. You’ve got to mount your horse.” She said and put an arm under his shoulders to help him up.

Daae groaned and slumped on her, then gripped Aser's back and pulled himself up, leaning over on him. He panted and closed his eyes.

Nel swung herself up behind him, gripping Aser’s mane. “Run, please.” She said to the horse.

Daae leaned on her, his eyes closing. Aser nodded and reared lightly, then bolted off into the direction she steered him to.

She looked up at Daae worriedly. She sighed relief when the forest tree line came into view. “Almost there.” She whispered, mostly to reassure herself.

Daae groaned lightly as his head rocked back on her shoulder. He closed his eyes, merely exhausted.

Nel bit her lip. “I hate to ask you,” she began to Aser, “but can you go faster? I promise you a bucket of apples after this.”

Aser bucked lightly, not enough to throw them off, " AAAAAAAPPLEEEESS!!!!" And he ran faster.
Daae laughed lightly, "He's never going to leave yer house now."

Then you can stay too! She just chuckled. “Well, I want you to stay a few days. You don’t look well.” She said very seriously.

Daae smiled, "Well, I haven't splet in a bed in day... and you're... so soft... so..." He fell asleep on her.

Nel sighed. “Alright bucko. You can have my bed.” She told him even though he was asleep. “Aser, the big oak by the waterfall has my tree house in it. Okay?”
