    Ookay guys here I go!

    Lorcan

    Lorcan was drifting in and out of darkness. Voices rose and fell, echoing painfully in his head. He could feel his laboured breaths heaving from his body, as he struggled to drag in air.

    It wasn’t so much his actual wound, which was certainly quite bad, that was causing him pain. It was the feeling of sharp iron filling up his lungs, throat, so that he couldn’t take in proper breaths.

    Was he dying? Possible yes.

    The final image of that creature bulldozing him as if he was a soft sack of flesh replayed hazily in his mind.

    Jeeney mackers how humiliating. Why did that have to be his cause of death? Why?

    He shuddered as something warm and light filled his veins. His breathing eased and the iron in his throat slowly subsided. He could feel a renewed strength filling his body as his eyes flickered.

    His vision blurred before focusing. There was a girl with sort of auburn hair staring down at him with worry. It was her. The girl he had managed to save before that creature-

    His head turned catching sight of something sitting just above him. A strange looking device with two gems inserted into it. His hands were places on it.

    Instinctively, he tried to scoot away. But the device kept him frozen in place. His jaw dropped. What the-

    Then he caught on. He could feel it. The energy flowing from the point of contact his hands had with the object. This thing was healing him.

    That brought his attention to the man standing above him. He was pale and sweating hard. As if his energy was being drained.

    Lorcan could feel confusion and ire rising up, threatening to overcome him.

    The gems snapped out of place and the man collapsed. Lorcan dragged himself away and leapt to his feet, grabbing his fallen blades as he did so. He breathed hard, staring at this strange man who had saved his life. For no real reason other than he just could.

    Then a different face appeared before him. Daire was joyfully gaping at him, hands clasped on Lorcan’s shoulders. “It’s a miracle,” he cried. “You’re okay. You’re ALIVE!!”

    Lorcan’s anger dulled the aching in his torso momentarily as he snarled. “Kindly get your hands off me you insignificant rodent.”

    With that he pushed him aside and moved towards the man.

    Daire followed after him. “It’s wonderful isn’t it! I was might worried about you for a second. You looked so pale, like a corpse! This fella came along and I was ready to defend you so I was. I was willing to put my life on the line, no matter the consequences-“

    Lorcan tuned out as his his landed on the girl whose life he had saved. He lowered his head at her. “Mi’lady. I hope all is right with you.”
