The Fallen Angel and the Lion

[Ricia]

Tannis kept a silent watch over her. Mostly enjoying the forest now. The grass was soft under him... it was so much better then the rock... he could start gathering things to make Shania a more comfortable place in the tree.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Tannis felt the forest stir lightly at the edge of his sences was the man again.

 

[Ricia]

When the disturbance brushed his senses he stood and pushed Shania back into the tree before standing in front of it almost defensively. It was the first time he'd been aggressive.

 

[InsaneTruth]

The angel was there "The child is very sick," he said softly.

 

[Ricia]

He knew that... He didn't need him to tell him that. He leaned down lowly the the ground. Didn't give him a lot of room the strike, but his tail curled around the top of him. Manticores were poisonous, as rare as they were.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I mean no harm," the man held up his hands "I can't see a child suffer,"

 

[Ricia]

"Do you know who she is?" Tannis asked, breaking his vow of silence. He was still low to the ground.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"All I know is she is a child, you are intellegent I assumed as much, is she your child?" he asked hands still up

 

[Ricia]

He didn't know who she was....He may be able to trust him. "Yes..." He answered slowly. It would explain how and why he was so gentle and loving with Rose. "You can help her..?" Tannis's defense lowered slowly and he sat down on his hunches.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I can try," The man said "I'm not sure how sick she is from here,"

 

[Ricia]

Tannis slinked away from the hole of the tree. When Dasuke ran up to it, there was furs, herb tea, water and bread. The manticore had been trying very hard to nurse her back to health.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Dasuke took her temperature before opening her eyes and looking into them. Taking her pulse was his next step "She is... very sick," Dasuke said "the illness seems to have run a violent corse."

 

[Ricia]

"Help her.. please...I will do anything..." Tannis begged softly. His head low to the ground.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I'll do my best," Dasuke told Tannis "Can I take her to my house? I have medicines there,"

 

[Ricia]

Tannis nodded, "I'll.. follow you." Tannis told him softly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

the angel picked up the child and was supprised she had a sword strapped to her back. He ignored it and begon on the way to his home

 

[Ricia]

Tannis followed quickly before taking his adult human form and following Dasuke into the house. He really had no intention of letting her out of his sight.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Dasuke took her to a spare room and laid her on the bed he got a medicine from a chest and began to give it to her he was busy saving a life too much so to ask the now man questions,

 

[Ricia]

Tannis stood quietly but out of the way. He wa sworried, but now he felt sick from it. Was she really that bad? How had he let her fall this sick...? He thought it would be last time when she just sleot till it past.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"there there," The angel said to the girl as she began to cough. "I'm glad we got to you before it developed further you are fortunate,"

 

[Ricia]

"The sickness... is a bad one?" Tannis asked from his corner.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"there was a plauge like illness sweeping the land she had a form of it, tomorrow we'll know if the medicine took," the man said

 

[Ricia]

"A plague..." Tannis said absolutely struck. "I don't think I can catch humanoid illnesses..." That medicine he helped move, must have been for the illness. There was no way he could even repay this man. "Thank you... I don't know how I can thank you..."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"I don't need any," he said "let her stay here till you are both fit to travel again, I am Dasuke by the way,"

 

[Ricia]

"Tannis..." Tannis told Dasuke, "And right now we have no where to go... I used all the money already to try and make sure she stayed healthy... I failed in that."
