"Hurry! If we get there in time, we can still save her!"
Armor rustling. The river rushing. Rain pattering.
She could just barely make out a voice.
"Miss! Please, try your best to stay awake."
Aaand.. lights out.
~~~~~~
"You did well today, Son. We will do our best to contact Chief Kaneli at once. Once she wakes up, hopefully she's feeling well enough to embark back to Rito Village."
"Father, er.. if I may.. I think she should stay and rest until she's better. Sending her back out there with injuries like this is just cruel.. I'm not even sure if she can fly at the moment."
"......I understand. She may stay in our chambers for as long as she needs. However, I do think that Chief Kaneli should at least know what's happened. If my memory serves me right, this young woman looks to be the Chief's own daughter."
Silence fell upon the room as the white haired girl slowly pushed herself up.
She stood up from the bed with wobbly legs, her pale arms flashing into mighty wings. Once she caught herself near the entrance door, she raised her arms to push off, stopping and jolting once she felt a sharp pain shoot down her right arm.
She yelped out in pain, stumbling as her wings reverted to arms.
"Heyheyhey.. easy, easy... you're safe.. it's alright." Sidon, snapping out of his shock, rushed to catch the small woman in his arms, setting her back inside the healing bath water.
The young woman winced, holding her arm as her tears dripped into the water. She looked down her right arm.
A large nasty claw wound remained on her upper arm.
"You were attacked by a Moblin.. Not to worry. It's long gone and thankfully I found you just in time." Sidon looked down for a second, crouching to one knee. "Do not fret. The Zora a very kind people.. we won't hurt you. You're safe, I promise." He slowly reached out, as to not frighten the girl anymore. "If I may?"
He very, ever so gently grabbed her arm, scooping the bright blue bath water and dousing the wound in it.
"Try keeping it covered with the water. It has healing properties that will increase recovery time. And it soothes the pain." Sidon told her softly.
The girl just watched his every move, still very uneasy. She had heard of Zora before, but had never seen one with her own eyes. Her tribe often did trades with the Zora, offering them weapons and other means of protection in exchange for the precious metals and fish the Zora have.
She watched Sidon continue to gently douse her injury. "My name is Prince Sidon. Can I ask your name?" The huge Zora asked.
The woman didn't respond for a second, but opened her mouth to do so. "Ka..." She started, honestly finding it difficult to speak for some reason.
