Cinnamin didn't know exactly what was going on, but at the first sign of danger she had called up a sphere of invulnerability around herself and her ruby hatchling. Karadiri was full now and sleepy...she curled up in a ball, tucked her head under one wing and went to sleep. Cin added a spell of concealment to the sphere and left Karadiri sleeping...her magic might be more useful elsewhere.

She flew quickly over to the mother dragon..."How can I help? I am a skilled archmage and I offer my services to the mother of my new bondmate."

Srrmaie nodded at the Ruby Kristayl as he spoke then turned to Serani, watching as she spread her hands over the Emerald then sank down onto him.
As he stirred and seemed to revive the girl had slipped into darkness, he stood, wobbling slightly then nuzzled her in worry.
A roar bursting from her throat Srrmaie bounded to the cage, snarling she closed her eyes and 'reached' for the power of the Starflares. Opening her eyes she set a protective bubble round the cage, stopping Rinma from contacting Serani. *She will be taken care of* she rumbled at the caged dragon. *But you will calm now!!* She half closed her eyes and muttered something, watching Rinma as she calmed and quieted. *Now if you stay quiet we may be able to save her, I leave the desicion to yourself* she turned back to the Emerald and Serani

Blinking, the Platinum lifted her head and looked at Syresluna. *If you would help I would be most grateful* she looked at her wing again *It is painful and still it bleeds* her head wavered a little, it was becoming an effort simply to lift her head at all. She looked at the bag that Syresluna was holding in interest then looked up at the woman. *Thank you for coming to me*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lady Cin

Srrmaie looked at the faerie as she flew over. *If you could help the girl with the Emerald I would be grateful. She has had the power drained from her and I do not know what to do*. The Emerald looked at Cinnamin and whined, he could not help and was very worried. He looked over at Rinma. *She will be alright! Help has arrived*

Rinma could tell that Srrmaie meant what she said. Rinma was watching in worry when the little emerald spoke to her. *Yes. She will be alright without me. I worry still though. She stayed with me when I changed, Serani did not leave. She didn't. I will not leave her when she needs me either. You, little emerald, will be a good friend to me and Serani. Triwn as well.*She said looking fondly over to her mate.

Serani fell into a pool of darkness. At first, she had heard Rinma and Triwn calling for her, but now she heard nothing. What had happened? She remembered using healing magic on the little kristayl dragon, then nothing. Serani gasped inside, the little emerald might need her! She forced herself to try to wake up, but failed. How could she help him, when she couldn't even help herself?

To Serani...

Cinnamin flew over to the emerald hatchling and landed beside it..."It's OK little one, I am here to help your chosen...do not be afraid."

Holding her hands a few inches over the girls body she cast a diagnosis spell to determine what had happened. After a few minutes, she sat back with a sigh, "I am unable to see what actually caused this, but I think I can restore her energy somewhat."

Pulling a small pouch off her belt, she started rummaging thru it...anyone who watched would be able to tell the pouch was enchanted, at times Cin's arm would disappear into the pouch all the way up to her shoulder..."ahh, here it is" she said as she pulled out a staff that was at least five feet long.

Holding the staff in front of herself, she started chanting and spinning the staff like the blades of a windmill. Raw energy could be seen glowing in the air like a circle where the ends of the staff spun. The glow got brighter and brighter until it was almost too bright to look at...Cinnamin's chant got louder and the words changed, then a beam of energy shot from the center of the glowing circle down to the girl's forehead. Cinnamin was channeling the raw magic energy of the world, changing it to a form that could be used safely, then giving the energy to the power drained girl at her feet.

Cin had no idea how long she would have to keep this up, but she would keep going until the girl made some kind of response.....

Serani felt strange. She felt as though something was coursing its way through her body. She groaned then opened her eyes a little, seeing the little Emerald bending over her and a faerie chanting something. Serani groaned again and reached up to stroke the hatchlings head. After doing that, she sat up and looked around. "What happened? Are you alright little one?"She asked the Emerald hatchling. Then her gaze rested upon Cinnamin."Thank you for whatever you did. I...I couldn't seem to force myself awake..."Serani's sentence broke off abrubtly. She heard Rinma trumpeting worriedly in the background."Is Rinma okay? She's not hurt is she?"Serani started to stand up, but fell back down.

"What happened? Are you alright little one?"She asked the Emerald hatchling. Then her gaze rested upon Cinnamin."Thank you for whatever you did. I...I couldn't seem to force myself awake..."Serani's sentence broke off abrubtly. She heard Rinma trumpeting worriedly in the background."Is Rinma okay? She's not hurt is she?"Serani started to stand up, but fell back down.

"I don't know exactly what happened to you" Cin replied, "but your life energy was drained almost to the point of death. I channeled new energy into you to save your life. I don't know what's happening outside, we will have to find someone who knows."

Cin rushed to cushion the girl's head as she fell back to the sands, "Easy now, I've restored some of your energy, but you will need plenty of rest for a while. Now I am going to try a healall spell and see if that makes a difference."

Cinnamin concentrated and cast the powerful healing spell...she put her hands on either side of the girls' head and a warm yellow glow could be seen. The glow spread until it covered Serani's entire body, then made a great flash and dissapated.

"How do you feel now?" Cin asked, her voice tired, "That is the most powerful healing spell I have available...I just hope it worked, for your sake."

Serani felt warmed by the healing spell. "I feel much better now. Thank you very much." She told Cinnamin gratefully, then turned to her emerald. *Why did you choose me?* She asked the little one in a confused tone. Serani didn't understand why an Emerald Kristayl dragon would want her for it's bond. She was bonded to a terrible dragon who had tried to hurt the hatchling. Serani was caught between her worry for Rinma and her wonder for the hatchling.

“Of course I will help you,” she murmured, “of course. Be still, I want to be as precise as possible.” Still smiling gently Syres spread a bit more of the salve onto the cloth and reached out to the hatchling’s wing. Grasping it with a feather-light touch at the finger-joint, she slowly dabbed at the gash. As she salve was smeared on, she saw the flow of her blood ebb and at last stop altogether. She tore a second strip of cloth from the sleeve and wiped away the blood that had caked onto her gleaming hide. “There now,” Syresluna said in a quiet tone, rubbing more of the numbing salve onto the wing. “You are certainly welcome; I could hardly leave you in this condition, let alone with good conscience. Poor little one… How does it feel now?” She began putting the dumped out herbs back into the pouch and then looked up again. “I’m sorry, I don’t believe I introduced myself. I am Syresluna.”

As she sat there with the platinum, she was completely oblivious to all that went on...

Lady Cin

Srrmaie spoke to Cin after she had healed the girl. *Thank you for your help* and she smiled *You are welcome to anything you wish to ask of me. For now though, I must see to Rinma* with a nod she moved away.

The Emerald smiled with joy as his chosen woke and spoke. *I chose you because I want you. Rinma and I will get on well* He smiled at the older dragon in the cage. **Mother** he thought **She is of no threat now. Could you free her?**
Srrmaie watched and listened as Rinma spoke to the Emerald, then listened to his plea. She mentally called the Starflares to release the cage, the dragon had calmed and could be released. *You must keep quiet. Your Serani has been healed but will still be weak* she looked down at the other dragon *You will take care of him and his sister?*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Falcon Muse

The Platinum watched as the woman put herbs on her wing and gasped as her wing stopped bleeding and hurting. Turning pink shaded eyes to the woman she spoke. *Thank you Syresluna for that. It feels so much better* and she flexed her wing. *Are you to be mine?* she asked with a smile.
As she spoke a young Kristayl queen edged closer. *How did you do that?* amazement clear in her voice. *Could you teach me? Or do you not have room for me?*

"You are welcome and thank you" Cin replied in a tired voice, then went back and sat by her ruby Krystal Karadiri. The hatchling had slept through all the commotion and Cinnamin was glad, the little one might not have understood and might have become upset. But things seemed to be calm again and Cin didn't want to leave yet...there were still eggs and hatchlings on the sands that might decide to come home with her too.

Rinma was surprised yet happy when the cage was taken off of her. She nodded in annoyed understanding to what Srrmaie said. Rinma didn't like being told what to do, but understood the Kristayl's reasoning. Rinma wished to be with her chosen's new bond, so she carefully entered the grounds so she could be near Serani.

Serani smiled at the emerald. *You need a name. Hm, how about...Eranta? It means beauty of greenlife. Do you like it?* Serani saw that Rinma had come to her. *Rinma? Are you okay? You had me worried.* She could feel Rinma smiling then,*I am unhurt Serani. I will protect you and your new bond with my life. I am sorry I worried you Serani.*Rinma told her chosen then turned to the emerald,*Hello there. I think the name Eranta fits you perfectly, little one. I am Rinma. I was Serani's first bond. I will treat you like one of my children.* Rinma started,*Speaking of which, Triwn, I think we should make sure the flitts are protecting my eggs and not partying.* She turned back to Serani and the hatchling.*I will return.* She made her way back out to her mate.
To Srrmaie and Mrlarr she said,*I will return later if Serani needs me to bring her home, but Triwn might be the one to come. I must watch my eggs.*Rinma started flying towards the east.

Triwn nodded at Srrmaie in answer to her question and took off after his mate.



OOC: she looked down at the other dragon *You will take care of him and his sister?

I suppose that by the above line Srrmaie said to Triwn, *You will take care of him and his sister?* Am i right?

Syres sighed, relieved that it had helped her. Having no great skill in healing, she was unsure of the extent that the herbs would help the hatchling. Violet eyes dim, both with tenderness and fatigue, she smiled at the tiny queen. "I would love to be your's, little one, but only if that is your wish. But if it is, please do not act on gratitude alone; there is so much I could offer you, but I know as well that I am not the only one. You are magnificent and beautiful and I would love you like any other of my bonds, my caring reaches beyond simply trying to heal your wing." She smiled again, almost sadly. She hadn’t realized how hard it would be to say until she said it; much as she hoped the hatchling would choose to join her, she did not want her to chose blindly out of mere gratitude.

It took Syres a moment to realize she was no longer alone beside the hatchling and she looked up into the curious and eager gaze of a young queen of the Kristayl. “Ah, it is no great feat, merely knowing the proper herbs for different ailments. I could indeed teach you, though my knowledge is limited, and there are those in my home who know more than I.” She paused watching the young dragoness with an equal curiosity. “Yes, I do have room for, if you would like to join me. My bonds are few enough…,” She sent an image to both young queens of her home. Oplueasse manor decked out in modest stone and marble like any other day; and on a large balcony, facing the east, sat two proud dragons gazing out across a great and endless plain. Upon the plain, dancing in an aura of light as her name befitted, pranced a glowing equine creature of white radiance. Without words, she instilled in theirs minds the name and description of each of the three, and at last withdrew the image.
