Story I: The Rift

Pyrrah looks down, her eyes hardening back into coldness. So this was it. This was why she worked alone. She remembers now. She's great at faking her life and identity, but her real one tends to cause problems.
This was a mistake. Not just this, even thinking to leave her country. She looks back up, fixing Ameera with a dead look of ice cold logic and complete and total apathy.
"Your feelings are your own to untangle. I do what I can for my people, you do what you want for yours." She slowly stands up, bringing her bow up with her. She snaps her fingers and the translucent mage hand reappears beside her and she hands off her torch which she had left outside during their conversation with Eahldun and then reclaimed. "Watch order has changed. I'll be gone a few hours. Don't wait up."

The torch leading the way by about six feet being carried by her magic, Pyrrah stalks off into the darkness alone, heading back towards the bridge where the giant creature had attacked them.

Without a word, Ameera turns toward the tunnel down to the barrier engine, fists and eyes clenched tight. Her invisible imp familiar flaps his wings strongly as he passes closely from behind Pyrrah, rustling her hair and torch and making it clear he was ready to help Ameera as always.
Eventually, Ameera finds a spot in the complete darkness where she can watch the tunnel with her devils sight. Digging through the bag, she finds her deck of cards and sits cross legged on the hard stone. She deftly pulls the cards of Yna, the suit of lies, from the deck and contemplates each one, dropping them to the floor as she does.
Zubie alights on her shoulder and let's go his invisibility. He wraps his barbed tail around her neck, the stinger against Ameera's jugular, and settles down for a nap. He is not disturbed in the least by her soft sobbing.

Evendur watches the exchange between Flare and the other girl, and the watches as both Flare and the other girl leave in different directions. Evendur shakes his head slightly, and gives a sigh. Taking a moment to look around, Evendur turns to the only other person he has heard speak something he could understand, and looks over to the.. fairy? Pixie? Evendur wasn't sure, but the specifics really did not matter that much to him. "Thank you for the food and water. Do you have a name?" Evendur takes a second look at the injured looking wing, and will then ask, "Are you hurt? I might be able to help if you'd like."

Looking himself up and down, he gives a bit of a hallow chuckle, and adds, "Actually, looking at the sorry state I'm in, if there is anything I can help with, helping is the least I could do."

During the argument. Many of the other pixies dissipate and flee, fearing a more violent altercation.

"I have no idea what they're talking about, but it certainly didn't sound good." The pixie mumbles after the two women leave.

She turns to Evendur after being addressed and says delightfully, "Oh. You're welcome!" Her tone simmers a bit as she introduces herself, "I'm Nephin-.. Neph." She twists at the waist in an attempt to inspect her wing before replying, "You know how to fix wings?" She smiles hopefully, looking appreciative and willing, should Evendur wish to try.

Evendur goes to stand up, and wobbles before he can get fully on his feet, and sits back down. Evendur would then ask Neph to come over and gently place the palm of his hand lightly on the wing that is injured, after giving a warning that healing often felt a little uncomfortable, but that was a sensation that passed quickly. Closing his eyes and taking one or two deep, slow breaths, his hand gives off a faint glow, a dull, silver-white light the color of the Full Moon, and pushes as much of his healing magic as he has left into Neph, and more specifically her wing.

Neph shifts uncomfortably throughout the process, and by the time it's done she's groaning, "Oohhww.."

Once Evendur is done, she's stretching her wing out with wide eyes and exclaiming, "Oh, wow, I can feel it again! That was incredible!" Some of the other pixies are drawn to the sight. One or two of them clap their hands. Neph says to Evendur, "This will be back in use much faster, now. Thank you. If you can manage to walk, you can sleep in one of the homes here." She looks at Evendur uncertainly and says, "Or, if you are settled, I can bring you a blanket here."

Evendur will take a moment or two, then use his halberd to help stabilize himself, and slowly and carefully drag his backpack to one of the homes Neph mentioned, and once there, hunker down for a rest, hopefully a more peaceful rest then he has gotten in a while.
