Frost's chill.

[Deleted]

Boreas the God of the north wind stood beside Halina falls, light eyes watching the water's surface. Far enough away from the impact zone for the waters to seem calm on the surface but just close enough for a current to run underneath carrying with it a murky copper coloured fluid which soon most of the water would be filled with it.
He had not achieved what he had set out to accomplish but he stood happy in the knowledge that the fire demon slumped at his feet had no more information to give him then he already had done in the two weeks since Boreas had snatched him from the confines of a garage where he had been working upon an old battered truck which had seen many a better day.

“Upon parting I will take the opportunity to tell you this. If you survive and that is a rather large if, you will be seeing the likes of me again young Erebus. Keep in mind you are not wanted among the Gods. Demi-God or not they will not recognise you and should your father wish to contest that then you shall suffer the consequence”

Agni would not be held back for much longer so with the sentiment the God left whipping up into what looked like a thick white mist which quickly vanished carried away upon the wind not before a strangled sounding 'Fuck you' reached its ears.

Lying upon his back blood from five large open wounds upon his chest and arms puddled up around him breaking free into streams which met the water Erebus shivered uncontrollably the main weapon which had been used against him having been the cold. It has left patched of skin over the entirety of his body black and frost bitten. Slowly drawing one knee up at a time he rotated the less damaged arm just enough to cause a weight over balance allowing him to roll onto his side and allow him the leverage to try and get back up.
At least now he knew why they were all looking for him Boreas has at least given him that much information.

[alexina]

She had been hiding in a tree, watching carefully, waiting for the god to leave. Now he was gone she dropped down her bare feet making very little noise before she darted over to the fallen man. She never liked seeing someone in pain. Taking the bow and quiver off she dropped them on the ground trusting the injured man didnt have the strenght to hurt her. Grabbing some herbs she knelt before him " here these will ease your pain..." she was unsure how he would react if he even knew of the elves but she had to help him. Calling on the suns warmth she let it gentlely touch his shoulders and move through his body from there " your cold to the bone..."

[Deleted]

Before he had a chance to get to his feet he heard a voice. With a swimming head and blurry eyes he looked up seeing a light woman kneeling infront of him. "What...?" he muttered breathlessly. He had no reason to trust her she was probably just another trick from Boreas.
The warmth from the sun was a welcome warmth but most of his skin was now to far gone for something to gentle to have any effects at all.
Mumbling to himself as he pushed one leg down against the earth trying to get his body to rise onto its feet or at least a knee he winced feeling like the world would soon be slipping from him.
"My son... I need to..check on my son"

[alexina]

Increasing the strenght of the suns heat she whispered " easy we will find your son as soon as you wont scare him the moment you see him" her voice sounded like a whispered song in his ear. Forcing him to eat the herbs she smiled admiring the mans determination to find his son " let me help you so you will get to see and take care of your family" Grabbing some sticks and dry leaves she moves a ray of light and strenghtens it so it starts a fire. Chewing on her bottom lip as she tried to help him enough to move him to a hospital. Pushing her hair behind her ears she focused on her task at hand getting him to a proper healer.

[Deleted]

Being forced down and having some foul tasting herbs shoved into his mouth caused him to tense up with no real idea what the hell this woman was doing to him he tried time and time again to get back up only to be shoved back down.
The heat was helping slightly to stop the further progression of the frost bite upon his skin making blood loss now his main concern his breathing becoming increasingly irratic the more time and the more aggittated he got with the whole situation.
Nearly passing out multiple times he forced himself to stay awake once again trying to get up when she let go of him to build a fire.
"What..do you want?"

[alexina]

Her sarcastic side came through as she mumbled " to save your ungrateful ass ..." a smile passed over her lips as she took it all in. Grabbing some more plants that grew by the river she pushed them into his wounds they'd sting but they also would stop further loss of blood. Shaking her head she pulled his tshirt off him , throwing some more wood on the fire and pulling more sunlight to him she darted around plucking at different plants she crossed her legs and sat down beside him pushing him to lie down every time he tried to get up, making the plants into a paste , she spread it on the frost bite tearing shreds off his shirt she used it to wrap his wounds, running out of clothe she tore a strip off her long skirt turning it into a mini so she could wrap the last wound. " Rest ... please ... "

[Deleted]

Eventually he gave up trying to move it was evident that she wasn't going to let him up and in the state he was in there wasn't much he could do about it.
Lying back he took the pain not really reacting to it as much as he should have done but his current state of being half awake helped to numb any of his senses enough to dull everything around him.
He had been tortured for two weeks the pain she was inflicting upon him was nothing in comparison to what had been before he was released.
Not convinced of anything he fell silent hoping that if she were one of Boreas workers that his death would now come swiftly.

[alexina]

Checking out his vital signs she yelped and gave out a small hissed scream as a vision hit. Taking a deep breath she shook it off mumbling about timing moving as best she could she willed the suns heat to move from her hand into the areas she focused on, she knew her helping this male would anger the gods that had it out for him but she was sure she could manage. Happy when his body seemed to regain its ability to warm itself she moves to the river fashioning a cup from an acorn she brought some water to his lips helping him to sit up so he could sip. she smiled gently down at him and began to sing softly.

Lor, lora, neo linda hín
Lor nu núra elmenel
Cena manen i olorë cara son lia
Ar sino tinta yare i isil na per

Lilta com eleni or fanya ar hisië
Mí hwinyari ve uner is cena
Lilta com vendë ve mí i olorë le neta
Ar anta vandi ve uner is anta

Feeling a little better as time passed on he lay just watching the woman conserving his enegry as she prodded and poked at his wounds. She seemed to have some power over the elements and it wasn't long until he realised what she was one of the elven folk.
Coughing back some water she was giving him he lay back down afterwards still not speaking he closed his eyes drifting off as he listened to her sing.

[alexina]

Smiling at him she went back to the river and retrieved some more water. Sitting beside him she crossed her legs continuing to sing. Dropping some leaves and herbs into the water calling on the sun to mix it. Chewing on her bottom lip she turned to him and smiled " i know it will be hard but you need to drink this mother earth will help stop infection and incourage your production of blood cells." Lifting a few of his bandages to check on there progress she saw improvement but the wounds were still red raw and angry. Letting them down she offered and hand to help him sit up.

[Deleted]

Opening his eyes as she spoke to him the amber colour in them duller then they normally would have been he nodded slowly feeling as though he had been chewed up and spat back out again.
Taking the hand that she offered to him he gradually started to sit up taking his time so the pain wouldn't knock him back on his ass again.
Taking the mixture he looked at it for a little while before slowly drinking it down. "Who are you?"

[alexina]

" Alexina Damaris ... but you can call me Lexi ..." moving so she supported his shoulders. Taking the chance to check out his back and his head " do you feel dizzy ?" she ran a hand over the back of his head softly. Moving away she let him lay back down, " how do you feel?" she could feel the sun was setting and the moon rising in its place. Relaxing for a moment she watched him " when did you last eat ??"

[Deleted]

"I dunno..." he frowned he really had no idea how long he had been away or even what day it was. He couldn't answer her questions other then about how he felt. "Oh like I have been tortured by a God for how ever long" he replied feeling like he wanted to crawl underneath a rock somewhere to die.
"I need to find my son.." he looked around slowly so not to make the world spin again. "You seen a kid?"

[alexina]

Shaking her head she mumbled " no I'm sorry ... " reaching out she plucked up her bow and quiver and smiled at him as she stood " please stay here ... and stay quiet and I'll get us some food..." she handed him another cup of the mix to drink while she was gone " please don't make me have to find you..."


Darting in between the trees she armed the bow and crept forward slowly listening intently she sighed softly letting her breath escape slowly. Stalking closer to a rabbit hole she watch to rabbits graze, taking in a silent breath she let the first arrow then another loose catching both unaware. Moving forward quickly she plucked the two rabbits up and eased their passing with her hunting knife. Standing she secured her bow on her make and made her way to thee male.

[Deleted]

He didn't move from where she had left him only to slowly shift into a more comfortable position every now and again making sure his legs didn't go numb from sitting down.
Slowly lifting each bandage he looked at the wounds underneath them sighing at each one of them.
Though more worried about the effect the cold may have had on his main internal organs damage that couldn't be seen and would take a while to heal. He just hoped he would have time to recover before Boreas or another decided it was time to visit him again.
