school time

[Cubi]

Ajax jumped. "I'm so sorry!" he said, offering Brooke a hand. "Are you okay?"

[irishredhead]

Brooke grabbed his hand and pulled herself up. "Yeah I'm fine." she said, hurridly walking down the hallway. "We have to leave before everyone gets up...otherwise theyll try to stop me...." she said, grabbing his hand to make him walk faster. She winced as her bruises and injuries started to bother her. She pushed herself to move on.

[Cubi]

Ajax sent such a light flow of energy into Brooke that she could barely feel it. "We'll be fine," he soothed. "Did you say goodbye to your friends?"

[irishredhead]

"No, goodbyes hurt too much and are pointless....if I die, theyll know it....besides, we have a mind connection that theyll probably be using in about an hour...." she said, quietly opening the door. She felt Ajax's small flow of magic entering her. She blocked it off and made it so it would go back to him. She then stepped on a rock, hugged Ajax, so they both fit on the rock and used the wind to carry them.

[Cubi]

Ajax held Brooke close while they traveled and sighed. She was so stubborn. "Are you sure you're going to be okay?"

[irishredhead]

"I'll live." she said, as she directed them towards the mountain where the dragons guarded the egg. As they flew, Brooke suddenly felt a massive energy pull towards the bottom of the mountain....and she felt Eragon's presence. She decided not to go down and see what was happening, instead, they flew on, Brooke's energy slowly draining. She landed them halfway up the mountain. "The dragons are at the top...but I need to rest..." she said, barely able to stand up from energy loss and using magic in her already weakened state. She used a bit more energy and magic to gather wood, stack it, and create a fire. She laid down, and within moments, despite her hunger, was asleep.

[Cubi]

Ajax began quietly preparing a meal for when Brooke woke up after gazing at her beautiful, relaxed face in sleep. She woke up to him sitting on the ground with two plates of food, watching her. He smiled and handed her one. "I found a really special herb," he murmured. "It'll help you keep your energy."

[irishredhead]

Brooke smiled at Ajax, but the smile quickly swiped off of her face. "Somethings wrong..." she said, standing up quickly. She grabbed her head for a moment to get rid of her dizzyness. She extended some of her magic and felt a rock slide happening. Eragon was involved. She looked at Ajax. "We gotta get outta here." she said, wild-eyed as she felt Eragon and two other people race towards their camp. She quickly doused the fire and scarfed her food. "Thank you, the meal was great." she said, quickly while making the element clean up their camp. Just as she grabbed onto Ajax and started to fly, she was tackled out of the air by the spitting image of Eragon except younger. Brooke gaped. "Who...who are you??" she asked incrediously. The boy turned towards her as he stood up. He did not have Eragon's eyes. Brooke cocked her head to one side, curious. She instinctively blocked her mind off. As the boy stoof up she noticed his wings. "WHAT are you I guess is a good question too." she said. She saw Eragon out of the corner of her eye with a girl in his hands. He laid her down on a bedroll that he had unrolled. Brooke waited for the boy's reply.

[Cubi]

"No time. I'm Eragon's son. Can you two help us? Someone needs to look after the girl."

[irishredhead]

Brooke looked at Ajax. "Okay we can take her...but I'm warning you, our quest isn't exactly safe.....as long as she's magical we'll take her." Brooke said, looking back at Eragon's son. She turned towards Eragon. "When did you have a son and why did I not know about it..." she asked him, walking over to the girl to check her condition and magical powers. She found mental blocks as strong as her own. "We'll take her." she said to Bralan.


Eragon looked at Brooke. "He is actually only 3 days old." he said confused. "Bralan had him." he said, looking down. He quickly changed the subject. "How is she?" he asked Brooke, knowing she was a much better doctor person than he was.

[Cubi]

(banon had him, not bralan LoL)
Bralan nodded. "Good. I'll be back in a few minutes." He looked at Eragon, sending him a mind message to stay with the small camp. He would check on the monster.

Meanwhile, Ajax stared, dumbfounded, at the eclectic group. He hadn't been exposed in his life much to magic besides his own, so the three day old teenager surprised him. He shook his head clear of fog and walked over to Brooke standing over Christy. "So we have a new traveler," he said conversationally.

[irishredhead]

(oh woops,.,you know what i meant)
Eragon sighed reluctantly. "Okay but be careful and if you get into any danger or trouble you had better yell for me." He went over to Ajax. "I dont think we've ever properly met. I'm Eragon." he said, holding out his hand.

Brooke searched through the girls consiousness..avoiding the areas Christy asked her not to look at. Christy had 3 broken ribs, a fractured shoulder, and her knee was dislocated. "She's not as good as I could have hoped, but she will be okay." Brooke pulled out of Christy's mind and staggered to her feet. Ajax, she needs a leg splint, numbing medicines, and we need to fix her ribs...one of them has punctured her lung and if we dont fix it right now she'll drown...we also need to make her an arm sling. Can you please go find me so herbs that will numb her up and make her not feel anything happening to her.." Brooke drowsily said. Eragon just gaped at her. "We're performing surgery?" he asked incrediously. "Unfortunately, yes." Brooke said. "This would be easier if you helped Ajax as well. Help him make the splint and sling...he can find the herbs...unless you can faster. Judging by the blood already in there, we have about an hour to fix her ribs...." she said. She didnt even know if she could save Christy, but she was going to try.

[Cubi]

(ajax is a healer too since he has wild magic, so he can help)
Ajax nodded and, after touching Christy and lending her some strength, helping natural sleep come to her, and healing as much as he could, he exhaustedly staggered off. He hadn't been able to fix all of the ribs, but the lung was whole now along with the rib that had punctured it, and he'd started the healing process for the shoulder. He set about making a splint with Eragon's help.

Bralan, meanwhile, delivered a death blow to the monster with his magic and passed out where he stood. The monster's last drops of essence had attacked him with all their might before extinguishing, and he was half-dead. He'd heal quickly on his own, though-- in about twelve hours. His body was like a self-repairing machine.

[irishredhead]

Eragon felt Bralan's presence fade. "Gotta go...I'll be back in a few minutes...." he said, quickly standing up and speeding off into the trees, following Bralan's magic trail. He saw Bralan lying limp by the creature. The creature appeared dead, but Eragon could feel a little seed of life still in him. He shot a beam of energy at it and felt the seed extinguish. He scooped up his unconcious son and slowly started flying back towards the camp.

Brooke popped Christy's knee back into place and felt Christy's mind scream in pain. Brooke screamed as she felt Christy's agony. Ajax rushed over to her. "I'm fine..." she said, going into Christy's knee with her magic to try to reduce the swelling.

[Cubi]

(where is wyn in all this?!)
Ajax kept a stream of comforting energy gently flowing into Brooke as she healed Christy, leaving his own body a little tired. He knew he could make it. When they were both finished, he smiled palely at Brooke and went to get some herbs to make a rejuvenating tea.

Bralan opened his eyes as he felt his body taking energy from Eragon. "Drop me," he commanded quietly with a bit of mesmer (you can't use mesmer; that's a faerie power only!) and as he was dropped he opened his wings tiredly. They got back to camp at nightfall and Bralan immediately collapsed on the ground and fell into sleep.
