Authors Note: I am going to be starting school soon and I will not have any time to update this fan fiction. I think that it would be best if I stopped writing for now but maybe in the future I will continue. I appreciate all of you who took the time to read my story.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the character From Legend of the Seeker

Once Kristina's arm was bandaged, Richard and Kahlan turned to the old man lying on the bed. "Zed has been sleep for a few days, and I have no idea what is wrong with him. I'm worried he won't wake up."

"Don't worry Kahlan," said Richard as he tenderly reached for her hand, "Zed is old and he probably just needs some time to recover from hitting his head."

"What happened?" asked Kristina. "How did he get hurt?"

Richard paused, unsure if he could trust her. Kristina understood and added "It's all right. You don't have to tell me, but do you want me to take a look at him? I studied medicine with the village healer before…. before I left. I may be able to help."

"I suppose we don't really have any other options." said Kahlan. "We cannot afford to leave and find a healer because then we might be discovered by those loyal to the crown. I suppose it is worth a try."

Kristina walked over to Zed and examined him. "You said that he hit his head?" she asked. Richard nodded. "Then his mind may be trying to protect itself by staying asleep. The worst case scenario is brain damage. He could have bleeding of inflammation of the brain, but it could be much less severe. It is difficult to tell with a head wound. I understand that you cannot leave the inn, but I need to go buy some herbs to help Zed. Later, if I can cure him, I will return to the market to get any supplies you need."

Richard and Kahlan looked at each other. They were running out of options and would have to trust Kristina. The girl insisted on using her own money to buy the herbs, as it was the least she could do to thank Richard for saving her and potentially blowing his cover. Kristina was sure that the man would keep his mouth shut as Cara instructed, but Richard and Kahlan were worried. Another reason to have Kristina try to cure Zed was so that they could leave the inn.
