Chapter 10 A Love Flourishes

Landing behind this little town we find a large clearing where we land and dismount I change back into The Lady Karima, then just as head into town we hear screaming and see fires in the distance. The town is under attack, while we were circling the clearing we noticed the army only a few minutes away, so we headed toward where we last saw the army coming from to warn them in advance so they didn't walk into a trap. In just a few minutes they were surrounded by the two hundred men sent to defend this little town, and in but a few minutes a plan was set and they were running to the rescue of the townsfolk.

Once there I brought Violet behind a store to hide so we would not be involved in the fight and so that I had a place to let Kar out. Violet asked me “Can I ride Kar for she did not feel safe being out in the open behind this house” So I lowered my neck for her to climb upon my back and had her hold on to my neck, then we took flight and into action. This was the first time we did not warn the villagers before hand that Kar would be helping out though the army knew in advance.

As we flew over head to take in the battle below I called out for Androw to see what he was doing and that he was safe, hearing his voice I warned him Violet was safely on my back and that we were coming to assist in the battle too we would circle once screaming as we dove upon the fight then asked if there were something I could do to scare them off?

Screaming at the top of my lungs I dive to just out of reach of the battle, I dive down once then twice, then I see a weakness and head in that direction, Violet is having the time of her life and holding on so tight so she won't fall off. I swoop down toward three catapults as they ready to fire and just as the one is about to fire I fire on them, then with such force I shatter all three of their toys so they can not use them against these poor people.

Now it is time to head back to the clearing to get the saddle for Violet to sit on properly for I have an idea which Violet has been listening to, so once I am saddled up with great struggle, we are back into action. We left all the saddle packs back in the clearing and Violet brought with her a bow and arrow set to use as I flew and she tied herself to the saddle so she could use both hands. Back to the fight I instructed her just where to fire, and what to do so we could do the most damage with the least work.

All was going as planned when I felt a sharp pain in my side as did Violet, banking sharply I turned to look for Androw and saw him laying on the ground with a large man standing over him with a sword high above his head about to go in for the kill. I dove in at tremendous speed and killed the one that struck my brother Androw then landed spreading my wings defending him from all attacks. Violet jumped from my back and ran to Androw checking on his wounds, helping him upon my back we fly out to the clearing so I can transform and doctor his wounds. This is the first time we have had a problem like this; and it was felt by the three of us.

Tending to Androw Violet and I removed his armor and under suit so as to get to the stab wound in his side, I rinsed the wound out with water then applied herbs within the wound to ward off infection and speed up the healing before sewing up the gash he had, though it was only about a hand in size it was a small finger deep. I was able to scrape out the dirt and dead tissue with my hand knife after Androw passed out then did as I had to finish up his care.
