Romance is in the air...this is probably the most beautiful and scenic place in Blossom Forest. For the athletic and determined to come with their mates, for time away from pups. Only adults may come here; some of the ledges are too far apart for teens or pups to cross and some too high to scale.

Only You Are the Life Among the Dead  |
_________________________________________________________________________ Everything had been fairly quiet within the pack, and within Blossom overall. It had been a long time since Khaleesi had needed to use her healing abilities to help a wolf in need. She knew that this was a good thing, but it also meant that she was often bored. She had kept up with all of her herb supplies, and so there was only so much for her to do now. She would much prefer it this way, she did not become a healer because she wanted wolves to get hurt, but she needed something to do to occupy her time. When Khaleesi found herself particularly bored, she would leave the pack lands and explore other parts of the forest. She had spent enough time in the other lands now that she felt comfortable in where she was going, but it was still nice to go out and get a change of scenery. What the femme had no expected out on her walk today was to come across a wolf that she knew who was seriously wounded. The thick metallic scent of blood reached her nares, and she quickened her response in concern. Someone was clearly hurt, and she wanted to be able to offer her abilities to help. When the femme tracked down the wounded varg, she was surprised to see Crowe, and the state that he was in. She had met this male before with some broken ribs. There was not much she could do for him them except give him something for the pain. But this time was very different. It seemed that the left side of his face had been almost ripped off. Canines and teeth were exposed where his lip was missing, his eye seemed to be going blind from the haziness about it, and it continued down the left side of his neck. How he had survived this long with such a large and deep wound, she did not know. Khaleesi called out his name, quickly going to his right side where he could see her, but still keeping her distance for the moment. She did not know if Crowe would remember her, and if he didn’t she didn’t know how he would react in his current injured state. Pain and fear made wolves do weird things sometimes, and she knew he could lash out at her if he thought she was there to harm him. Speaking more to him, hoping that he would let her draw closer, she asked what had happened, not sure what he would tell her if anything. It was really none of her business, but the wound was so massive that she wondered what he had gotten himself into to get such a wound. Finally, Crowe spoke, just her name, but it was enough that Khaleesi knew that he remembered her. She smiled and gave a small wag of her tail, slowly stepping closer to him. She was more comfortable getting closer to examine him since he remembered her and didn’t seem to be delusional. “If you would help, I would much appreciate it.” The femme nodded to him as he spoke, his words harsh and raspy. ”Yes, of course. I’m going to look you over quickly and then get you something to help with the pain.” Keeping a careful eye on his reaction, she closed the gap between them, her face close to his as she looked him over better. She could tell that infection had already set in. It was spreading to his eye based on the hazy covering to it, and she was not sure if that could be saved. The rest of him smelled of infection as well. Parts of his wounds, closer to his mouth, were still bleeding a bit, though not too badly. She was not worried about him bleeding to death if he stayed calm and quiet, but she was worried about the infection. She didn’t think she needed something as potent as Lady’s Mantle to handle the bleeding, unless something tore open worse than it was at the moment. She would definitely keep an eye on it and have the plant nearby should he need it. She was making a list in her head of what he needed, poppy immediately to help the pain. She could make a poultice with moss to put directly on the wound, with some echinacea to help with the fever that she could feel radiating off his infected body. She was not sure if garlic would do much since an infection had already set in, but it couldn’t hurt so she would get that as well. Green orbs looked to his better eye to explain her plan, and to let him know she would be right back. ”There’s already an infection setting in. I have some herbs to use to put on your wound and some for you to eat. I’m going to get you some poppy, just like last time, to help you with the pain.” She knew there were some poppy plants nearby. Luckily the forest was filled with lots of the plants that she would need for him. She ran into the brush, quickly coming back with the red plant that she needed first. Getting the seeds out that she needed, she put them on her paw, lifting it to Crowe for him to lick off and eat. ”Make sure you chew them.” Once he had had the poppy, she knew he would be feeling better soon. ”I’ll be right back, I just need to get the rest of the herbs I need. Stay here please.” Hoping to get some sort of agreement from him, she hesitated a moment before running back into the brush. She quickly swept through the trees, keeping an eye out for the plants that she needed, stopping to grab them as she went. Once she made it back, she let the cluster of herbs fall to the ground, checking to see how Crowe was doing. ”How are you feeling? Has the poppy kicked in yet?” She stayed close by him as she began to chew up her poultice to put on him, hoping that it would help pull out the infection. She gave him some more herbs to eat, lifting her paw to him once more. ”I’m going to put this on your face now okay? I’ll be gentle, just let me know if you need me to stop” If he told her it was okay to proceed, she would put the poultice on him, covering the infected area. Khaleesi’s green orbs looked him over once more when she was done, unsure of what else she could do for him right now, except wait and hope she had done enough.
