Intain leapt onto the next boulder and stopped to pant. He was so tired. He wished he'd stayed in the mountains for another day. Maybe then he would have missed this creature. Intain shifted back to full human and sprawled over the boulder. BreezeBane landed over him to protect him.

There was silence for a while. I bird here, a squirrel there. The wind flowed smoothly. THEN! The large berzerkir leaped out and toward them.

BreezeBane whinnied and reared, kicking out her hooves. Intain groaned and crawled out from under. He shifted to his leopard form again and turned to face the creature with Bane.

There was a crunch as her hooves collided with it's face. It yowled awkwardly, it's jaw broken. It hissed madly and charged, opting to ram her down.

BreezeBane bared her teeth and tried to fly. Intain charged at it now with an angry yowl. He skidded between it and the pegasus and swiped at it, hissing.

It grunted as he slashed it's chest, some of the cape falling. It grinned and threw a punch at him, it's smile insane.

Intain hit one of the boulders and fell to he ground, stunned. That's a powerful punch. He thought, moaning. BreezeBane flew off and then came around to bite at it from above.
~ That's my friend! ~ The pegasus screamed angrily and kicked at its side.

It looked over in time to see the peaguses's kick, let alone feel it no matter which direction. It howled as he flew back and it slammed into a tree. It collapsed on the ground and the tree tipp forward, threatening to break.

"Breeze!" Intain cried, staggering to his feet having shifted to his middle form. "The tree!"
~ That's not my fault! ~ The pegasus retorted and landed again.
She canter towards Intain and he got onto her back. They stopped in front of the tree. Intain stood up on her back and braced himself against the tree.
~ Why are you helping it? ~ BreezeBane asked him curiously as she looked at it.
"Because everything deserves to live, no matter who or what it is."

The creature's arm was bent in an odd angle and didn't move as it stirred. It used it's good arm to push itself up and it grunted, dragging it's broken body out of the way.

~ You cannot hold it forever Intain. ~
"I can hold it... long enough. You just go and I'll take care of me." He replied already beginning to shift again. I've never shifted this much in my entire life before.
Breeze trotted off and Intain climbed around the tree before leaping to a rock. The tree crashed down. Intain padded over to the creature's side and sat beside it. He watched it with a curious tilt of his head. He would help it, but he was afraid to. It had attacked him after all.

It held itself up and it looked at him, then, the small pupil grew and chnaged back to orange. The berzerkir coughed and turned away, spweing out the rest of the black Berzerkir bane from this changing. The horns and tusks receded as his body mass shrunk to Ryhe sized. He coughed up and little blood after the bane.

Intain crept closer, intrigued by the change. Breeze snorted and pawed the ground warningly. Intain stopped and just watched from where he was. He was still curious though. He had never seen anything like this before.

Ryhe got to his feet and cradled his arm, then he felt his jaw and flinched. He looked at the bed on his hand, then his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he fell back, fainting.

Intain shifted to his half form and felt for his pulse. No, he was still alive.
"Breeze, come here. He needs help."
~ You help him. ~ The pegasus retorted. ~ He tried to kill me. ~
Intain scowled and gave her a hard look. "He tried to kill me too, remember. Now get over here!"
Grumbling, the pegasus walked over to them. Intain carefully picked the man up and settled him on Breeze's back.
~ I'm gonna throw the both of you at the first sign of trouble. ~
"Alright, you kill him then. I just want to get him to Parkyr's. She knows how to heal." Intain replied as he got on behind the man.
~ To Parkyr's then. I hope you know what you're doing. ~
"Me too."

BreezeBane took flight, it would jar him less. She just hoped Intain would be okay. He hated flying. Intain sucked in a quick breath and held tightly to Breeze's mane.
~ Faster. I don't know how bad he is. ~
Breeze complied and flew faster. In a few minutes she landed smoothly in front of Parkyr's cabin. The little woman came out to meet them and immediately saw the man's injuries.
"Give me a minute before you move him." She said and took his good hand to perform a quick check.

"The bed right by the door Intain." Parkyr said bruskly and waved a hand towards her cabin.
Intain nodded, dismounted, and pulled him down into his arms. He walked towards the cabin and Parkyr held the door open for him. Intain set the man down on the bed and stepped back.

Ryhe shuddered a bit and his hand twitched, a bit of an effect from the bane. His jaw and arm remained motionless and he opened boh his eyes.

Parkyr came and examined his broken arm and jaw. She did a double take upon noticing that he was waking. She looked back at Intain, who raised his eyebrows.
"Get some water, cloth, and bandages." She told him and he left. Parkyr turned back to her patient. "Hello. You're pretty beat up you know. I'm Parkyr. I'm going to help you. Okay?"

"Bu-ARGH!" Ryhe put a hand on his lower jaw and shot up. He yelped and moved his hand to his arm. Ryhe pulled his legs up and looked around the place. He was confused, scared and in pain. Not a good combo.

Parkyr gave him a stern look. "That wasn't smart. I'll make you sleep if you don't behave... which I think would be a good idea. I have to set your bones if you expect them to heal."

Ryhe grumbled and looked up, "Wh-ere am I? How far are we form a town? Where's Zye?" he looked around frantically. He looked over the healer, then the room. "What... was I doing?"

Parkyr rolled her eyes towards the roof and took a deep breath. She looked back at him then, gazing into his eyes.
"I am Parkyr," she repeated, "and you are in my cottage. You are about a forty minute walk from Kestal. I do not about anyone named Zye. You are the only one brought here. I also do not know what you were doing. For that, you would have to ask Intain."
Parkyr gestured backwards and Intain set a bowl of water in her hand, draping the towels over her arm. It was amazing how she always knew when someone came into a room. He figured it just had to do with her magic.
