Ch. 5

Jinn sat up and scratched the back of his redhead. He let out a yawn and looked around. A purple haired man was leaning over next to Lloy and whispering. Priscilla, the flame haired beauty, whose hair was not unlike his own, had fallen asleep clutching a stave while slumped over in a chair.

He tried to raise himself, but his leg was still bandaged so he decided to ask Lloy somethings. He shifted his weight and looked back over to Lloy who was still asleep. A man with long, purplish hair whispering to Lloy and was getting awkwardly close to him.

Jinn decided he owed Lloy a favor and said his name loud enough to make the purple haired man jump and Lloy's eyes flicker open. The man stood back and smiled at Lloy as if he knew him. Jinn asked Lloy who this man was, but before he could answer the man introduced himself,

"Hello there young man. My name," he paused here for effect, "is Legault. I am a friend of your," he paused again, looking to Lloy for guidance.

"We are only traveling companions." Lloy answered the unasked question. Legault smiled and continued,

"I'm going to go and get some lunch. I hope to see you both later." He smiled again and left the tent.

Jinn decided that he should see what other damage had been done to him. He sat up and shook his limbs. He lifted himself out of the cot and pushed some maroon-colored hair out of his face. His movement woke the sleeping girl who dropped her staff and stood up quite abruptly.

"Wha......who.....? Hey, you aren't well enough to get up yet, um, sir. You still need to rest for a while, er, um, I can't let you go!" She stood and bared the exit from the tent, eyes shut tightly as if she was awaiting a blow. But it would not come.

"I'm, er, sorry miss. I'll rest now." He laid himself back down in the cot. The girl relaxed and her expression softened.

"Allow me to check to on how fast you are healing." Jinn knew what she meant, but he was slightly embarrassed all the same. He lifted the sheet of the cot so they would be spared more embarrassment. He then shifted his body so his bandaged leg was to the side closest to her. She approached him and then began inspecting the damage.

Lloy looked on watching his friend. He saw Jinn's face turn a color similar to his hair as the healer's finger shifted around on his leg. As soon as she was done removing the bandage, Jinn was able to see his injury for the first time. It was a deep gash going down his thigh. It was most likely the most gruesome thing he and Priscilla had ever seen.

Blood had seeped all around his leg and dried, giving it a deep, dark red color. He had lost so much blood and yet, he was still alive. And conscious. Jinn was shocked. He had seen people with wounds like these; and more often then not they were dead or dying. His mouth was moving like that of a fish. Priscilla apparently had never seen something like this in all of her time as healer.

"I....What.....Saint Elimine..........I've never seen..............anything.......like this." She was clearly taken aback. She didn't have this kind of experience. "I must inform Lady Serra." Priscilla was quivering all over as she left the tent.

Jinn was confused as well. How could he be alive? How he could not even feel it? He could not even remove his eyes from the gash. Jinn knew that Lloy was staring at it too.

The tent flaps flew open and entered the cleric from earlier. She acted as if she was their superior and her presence demanded respect. As soon as she laid eyes on Jinn's leg she let out a terrible shriek. "EEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!" She screeched and squinted her eyes. "Well as the senior healer I guess it is my job to heal you. But you will owe me big time boy." She approached him, smiling mischievously. Then from behind her back she pulled a long, slender stave, tipped with a single red crystal. "This is for use only in special occasions. It's called a Recover stave and it will heal you and your friend, fully. But only if you agree to pay me back some day." She smiled and winked at him.

"Fine, fine already just heal me please. Its beginning to itch!" Jinn's leg had begun to swell up again and the wound was getting unnaturally hard.

Serra spun in a circle waving the stave above her head, chanting all the while. A deep blue light warped all around him. Gently and slowly he levitated about an inch off the cot. And then as suddenly as it had started it was over and Jinn had been dropped on his butt on the cot.

"Oof! Jinn shook his head and inspected his bare thigh. Is was pale and muscular, but not damaged in any way. "I guess I do owe you Lady Serra. Thank you."

"Heheheheheheee," she giggled, "Oh think nothing of it. But you can do a favor for me. I shall decide upon the time and place. Hheheheheheheheee." She left the tent giggling.

Priscilla also had to leave the tent for her first meal of the day, leaving Jinn and Lloy alone in the tent.

Me-That was difficult to type. Anyway please....

Priscilla-Hey won't you come with me, Jinn?

Me- Um ok.

enters closet

Me- AHHHHHH!!!

Priscilla- Heeheehee

Erk-........> .............0o...........that was very, very, VERY strange. so R&R.
