John lean on Safire, staring at the stone, memories of a couple of nights ago now blurr in exhaustion. It had started so well, from him telling them about the new baby, that the argument between Kage and Judge about if the latter was loud or not. Yet, there was a tension in Warren's aether... Brianna's as well. He at first thought it was because only Oak and he were the only healers. Everyone was becoming on edge, Warren most of all when some of the fights seem to drag on.
Two of the fighters near the end, a head blow, and so much blood. As he started to try to heal the other, he realize that the healing was going slow, even with Kit's help. Then the female started begging the other to wake up and he realize that he was fight Thal for two lives. If he die, Warren would have killed her as well. He couldn't let Warren kill, not while his strongest supporters were gone to war. So he did the only thing he could think of at the time. He pull on Kit's aether, combine it with his own, and pour all of it into the other. For that one moment, everything fade to nothing but the vibration of his aether pour into the wounded man.
When John came back to himself, he found himself leaning heavily against a blurry Kage with a blurry Warren next to him. He had been happy because Warren didn't have to kill. It was only after the last match was fought that he found out what the tension had truly been about. Lady Brianna, another of Warren's friends was marching North...to face her own death. So he had Judge to take him too her.
He had told her his goodbye, kissed her forehead, and told her to be a throne in Thal's side and to let his sister know that he was ok. Warren had asked him to drink with them but he didn't want bother them more, it was Brianna's farewell, and he wasn't sure if he could hold Kit's ball form much longer anyway. At least he made it into the inn room before darkness closed in on him.
A rough hand close on his shoulder. "Bandit says you're not in any condition to ride that bird of your." He turn his head to find a Hellguard standing behind him. "So orders are that you're riding on the Wagon with him."
"but..." John began to protest, only to be scoop up into the other's arm.
"Sorry, Kid, but Bandit is head healer now and his word goes."Â Axe made his way to the wagon, dumping John onto the bench.
"Glad to see you finally join us, Kid," the lalafell, Bandit said. "Told Cap that the best thing for you was sleep. So close those pretty eyes of yours and get some sleep. It'll be a few hours before we reach Eastern Thanalan." John look up to see Sam taking his place at the head of the group. His eyes drifted back over to the Grindstone as they began to head out.
Lady Brianna, I hope that Thaliak's wisdom guide you on the finally leg of your life journey. I can only hope that I will have the fierceness and determination when I face that last path for myself as well. That I will not go quietly into the night as I know you will not.
He turn away from the stone, letting his eyes drift close, and sleep take him.
I can only hope that when I finally arrive at Thal's table that you and sister will be there to greet me. That you will regale me with the chaos that you cause since your arrival, Lady Brianna. Until then, please watch over us all.
