Kendra heard a long wail coming from the woods. She got up and dashed toward the sound. She followed the rockey trail for about 3 minutes at a jogging pace and saw Seth. He was sitting at the side of the path, staring nervously at his leg. "Seth!" She said with relief in her voice as she jogged to him. Her relief was short lived when she saw the gash in his knee. "Seth, What happened?" She asked, her voice now full of worry.
"It was my own fault" he sighed "I swung my sword at a troll and hit myself. I'm aware I sound like an idiot." He looked up. His nose was purple and had teeth marks on them, that were bleeding. It was then Kendra noticed the unconscious troll laying next to him. She sighed.
"Let's get you to Braken. He can heel you."
"We also have to bring that trunk" Seth said pointing to the large box. It was gray and had leafy designs of the top, in gold.
"I'm not even going to ask." Kendra said helping him up. Being Seth's crutch with one arm and lugging the trunk/box with the other they set out to the Fairy Shrine.
She set Seth down in a Gazebo close to the island and mentally called Braken. "I'm outside the shrine with Seth, we need your healing powers...and you of course."
I will be there soon Kendra. Hold on.
"He's coming Seth, stay still." Kendra reassured him, yet she may have been reassuring herself knowing she would get to see Braken. He appeared with a quick flash in front of them, and knelt down beside Seth's leg.
"How did this happen, Seth" Braken asked
"That doesn't matter" Seth said, not wanting to sound like an idiot.
"I just need to know if what cut you was soaked in poison."
"I guarantee it's wasn't"
"If you say so" Braken began his magic. He was swirling his hands, generating sparkles, collecting ingredients that came form the air. He ended up with a small vile filled with a thick purple liquid. He poured it on his nose and leg. Instead of dripping, it turned to a glitter-paste substance. The glitter floated into the air, reveling perfect skin without a scratch. "Good as new" he said with a smile.
"Thanks Braken" Kendra said trying not to blush. Braken grabbed her hands and held them.
"I would do anything to help" he said softly. Being the annoying little brother Seth is, he had to but in.
"Kendra we should get going, wouldn't want to keep Gavin waiting any longer." Why did Seth have to be such an idiot Kendra thought to herself. Kendra's cheeks turned red. Braken's whole face turned red.
"Gavin's Back! I thought he was dead." Braken screeched "That boy is gonna get it!" He got up and ran to the house.
