Disclaimer: Well the only person that doesn't belong to someone (namely
Tamora Pierce) is Feli, who I made up. And it shows how uncreative I am,
because Feli is just the word Life mixed up. Well, she's supposed to be an
amazing healer, so... Oh yeah, and the phrase "Tell me what happened and I
will ease your passing" and what happens afterwards comes from the movie
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Well, in the movie the guy actually
answers him, but...Good movie. If you haven't seen it yet, YOUR CRAZY!
Sorry it's taken so long, I have two other fics that I'm writing (Tortallan Fairy Tales and Yellow Jello) and I try to update them all the same amount of times. If that made sense. I know, it's kinda short. I've already started the next chapter. I'm about a half a page into it. I just had the perfect opportunity to end this one. I couldn't pass it up.
FINALLY! I HAVE A TITLE!
In Sickness and In Health~Chapter 6
"What the heck? Where is she?" Neal bellowed, frustrated. After several attempts of letters, he had still gotten no response from Feli. He began to lose hope as Kel's condition worsened. And still there was no word about Dom. Life couldn't get any worse. Neal sighed and went to discuss Kel's condition with his father. He knew that Kel's time was limited.

"Fourth carrier this week," Feli sighed as she eyed the newest addition to the infirmary. "Someone really doesn't want someone to know something," she concluded. She had already ordered a troop to follow the carriers at a distance, hoping to catch the culprit. She checked the clock. "Looks like we'll find the nasty buccaneer soon," she mumbled to no one in particular. "Mail time," she declared.
************************************************
It was a circus. There was a whole troop of soldiers against several attackers. Several minutes and several injuries later, there was only one fatally wounded buccaneer left. The troop's captain knelt next to the attacker. "Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing," he offered as he raised his sword, preparing to give the culprit the mercy stroke. But the buccaneer just laughed and coughed up blood, then was still. "Crap!" the captain spat. After adding several curses, he turned to his troop. "Move on to report to Feli," he ordered some, while telling others to search the body.
When Feli got the news, she was not very happy. They had killed one, but the others would be back. Meanwhile, they were no closer to finding out who ordered this done and why.
************************************************
The trees raced by. Dom was almost there, and no matter how tired he got, he would keep going until he made it. He urged his horse on, even though it was already at its fastest gallop. Because of the pounding hooves, Dom didn't hear that the eerie silence had ended and was replaced by a mysterious whooshing sound. By the time he noticed it, it had grown much louder. Before he could dismount to inspect the noise, a colorless, shapeless, and unnatural wind knocked him off his horse and sent the animal galloping away.
************************************************
"What in the world?" Two days later Feli came across and unconscious Dom on her way to work. She knelt down to inspect his cold body. She felt for a pulse and found an incredibly weak one. She used her magic to get him on her horse, then mounted in back of him.
As they approached the hospital, Feli observed that the postman had not yet arrived. She glanced at the sundial in the hospital grounds. "He should have arrived by now...." she said to herself. But soon the postman was put out of her mind as several of her students came out of the hospital to assist her with getting Dom into the building.
"Do you think he's treatable? Will he survive?" one of her students asked nervously after they got inside. Feli answered as she finished examining him, "Oh yes, of course he will. But it will be awhile before he even wakes up. I wonder what he was doing traveling here, anyway. He's Tortallan, by the looks of him. Whatever it was, I hope it wasn't urgent."
