~*~General POV:~*~ Penmaer reached over and felt for the young girl's pulse. Startlingly, she was alive, but her pulse was so slow and quiet that Penmaer could hardly feel it. Examining her carefully, he realized that the girl was Elvish, and was no older than 12 or 13 years old. He shook his head in anger. How could anybody, even an orc, be so cruel to such an innocent little one?
Penmaer shook his head. If the girl hadn't been unconscious he would have had many questions to ask her; such as 'what is a young girl like you doing here without an escort? and 'who are you', but he wasn't worried about that as of yet. If the girl lived, there would be plenty of time to ask questions, but for now.. Instead, Penmaer bent over her gently and tested her body for injuries. When he was done, Penmaer was shocked. Although he wasn't much of a healer, he could tell that she had broken at least three ribs, had a huge bump on her head, and had numerous other deep injuries, and, worst of all, her right hand was, under the bandages, -crippled, bent over itself, and had been left alone when the damage was caused when it should have been healed immediately.
Penmaer examined her hand again. He wasn't sure at all anymore that it could be healed, but the rest of her body could. As Penmaer pondered, he felt the girl moving slightly under his hand. Her flesh was cooling and the pulse was now so quiet he could barely detect it. Penmaer finally made up his mind. He was going to take the young elf to Lord Elrond.
. Penmaer stood up, gently lifted the girl and started sprinting as carefully as he could towards Rivendell.

Two hours later, Elrond straightened from the young girl's body. When he had first seen her, it seemed certain that she would die-she had had a rib piercing her lung, numerous other injuries, and had lost much more blood than was safe, however, it seemed like the girl's spirit was strong, for she was still alive. There was almost no doubt that she would live now, but Elrond was still thinking hard about one thing-her hand. Logically, even Elrond himself wouldn't be able to heal it, as the injury was over two weeks old, but he HAD heard of something else.
Sighing, the lord of Rivendell left the room, in the direction of his library, looking for a certain book that hadn't been read in many years.

Meanwhile, twelve hours later, back in the healing room, Kiri awoke.
