Chapter 19
Pumyra sat back from the sensors. According to the medical equipment, Lion-O's blindness was categorized as temporary. This was good but just how temporary was hard to tell. The puma turned to look at her anxious friends.
"Well I have some good news and some bad news." She said.
"What's the good news?" Lion-O asked.
"The good news is that the equipment has decided that you are only temporarily blind." Pumyra told them.
"So what's the bad news?" Cheetara inquired.
"I have no way of telling how temporary it will be. I mean he could go to bed tonight and tomorrow it could be better or it may take longer for his sight to return." The puma sighed. No one said anything for the next few minutes.
"What if we tried the Sword of Omens? Maybe it could bring back Lion-O's sight." Ben-Gali suggested.
"That's all well and good if I had the Sword. Lion-O said. Everyone turned and looked at him.
"What do you mean if you had the Sword?" Cheetara asked.
"I lost it after defeating the evil being." Came the lion's answer. Without saying a word, Cheetara raced from the room and Ben-Gali followed her.
"Well while they're looking for it, I think the best thing for you to do is to try and get some rest. I'm going to call Lynx-O and update him on the situation." Pumyra said. The Lord of the ThunderCats nodded and carefully stood up. Helping him over to the last empty bed, Pumyra had him lay down.
"I'll be back later to check on everybody." She promised.

Cheetara and Ben-Gali were outside searching for the Sword of Omens when the ThunderKittens came out of Cat's Lair.
"Pumyra said you guys needed help with something." WilyKit said.
"Good. You guys search using your Space Boards." The cheetah said.
"What are we looking for?" WilyKat asked.
"The Sword of Omens." Ben-Gali told them. Quickly, the ThunderKittens ran to get their Space Boards and aid in the search.

Pumyra sat in front of the video screen talking to Lynx-O. From the sound of her voice, he could tell that she was nearing the end of her rope.
"You sound like you should take a break." The lynx suggested.
"I can't. I have three patients in the medical quarters and the Sword of Omens is missing. I may have been able to save Tygra and Panthro but Lion-O…" she trailed off.
"You've done all you can do. Now it is time for Lion-O's body to do the rest." Lynx-O reminded her.
"Do you think I should send him back to Third Earth? I mean maybe you can help him." Pumyra wondered.
"Well you do have the Thunderstrike and I have no interstellar vehicle." The lynx said.
"All right as soon as we find the Sword, I'll tell everyone the plan. Thanks Lynx-O." Pumyra told him.
"No problem, Third Earth out." He answered and ended the transmission. Pumyra turned off the communication link. She then headed outside to see how the search was coming.
