I'm not sure how I ended up here. Sinking to the bottom of a lake. Doing everything possible, but found it impossible to swim. I was at the point when the water was getting cooler as it was no longer heated by the sun. Here is where my fate was sealed. The a sharp pain on the back of my neck, but I was no longer sinking.
The pain wasn't excruciating, but it did hurt. Compared to sinking I was rising at incredible speed. Then the surface of the water was broken. Once above the water I was able to catch a glimpse of my savior. Only being able see half of their body I could still make out what it was.
There black on top and gray fur on the bottom. I could also make out there legs. They had four legs in total the hind legs were muscular. Be for knew it the feeling of sand and pieces of shell at my feet. It took my savior no time to drag me to the shore.
After being placed on the ground I was able to see the hero who saved me. It was a Mightyena whose had was inside of a bag . I could hear her voice at that point. It was harsh to say the least. When she lifted her head from the bag she revealed her fiery red eyes were the highlight of her face. Next is what was in her mouth. She held a berry, a bandage and a small vial in her mouth. She walk straight to me and dropped the berry right in front of me then spoke directly to me.
"Eat that it's an oran berry you'll regain some strength from that. Now be still I need to bandage that neck of yours. Sorry about that." when she said the her voice it was no longer harsh it was soft, mostly likely do to calm me down. Before I had a chance to respond she poured the liquid of the vial where she bit me forcing me to let out a small cry.
After she finished with the bandage she motioned to the berry again. I nodded and took a bite. The sweet taste filled my mouth
After eating the berry I could feel energy surge throughout my body. With it I managed to get to my feet. Still feeling a bit weak the Mightyena made me set back on the ground.
"You need to relax for a little longer. Sorry again about the bite." She said.
"Oh it's ok." I manage to stutter out.
"You can speak I thought you we a muit." She said.
Nodding my head confirming and giving a smile. After that the mood between us felt a bit odd neither one of us spoke. Unsure of how long we stood there until one of us broke the silence.
"Thank you for saving me. My name is Amethyst." Said to break the silence hoping she would talk back.
"Don't worry about it. You can call me G." She responded.
"G?" I asked tilting my head.
She scratched the back of her head with her paw before speaking. "Ya it's a nickname."
She seemed to be avoiding telling me her real name. I thought of asking her, but then again I shouldn't pester her she did save my life after all. She walked back to her bag and pulled out another berry and brought it to me like the one before it.
"You should keep eating this until we can get you to a town. Keep your strength up." she said.
Nodding again I eat the berry as she instructor. She was right after all one berry wouldn't keep me going forever. I then watched her place to bags on her back.
"When you feel that you've gotten your strength back well head toward town." she said securing the bags with a rope.
I quickly stood ok after finishing the berry and said, "Ok I'm ready." Not wanting to keep her any longer. I stumbled a bit when I studded up only to make me sit back down.
"Calm down too much movement might open up your wounded. So tell me where do you live if you have any family around here."
I did my best to think of all the needed information. I though and though until she placed her paw on my head.
"Hay don't stress out about it now. You're probably still recovering we can wait on it."
She made me set for a while before she even let me stand, but as soon as I had the chance I made my way to my feet. She looked me over once more before.
