"My, Miss Kyera you seem to have gotten yourself into some trouble. Your aura is fractured and your bones are damaged." he stated looking her over and reading her body. She sighed, having seen half eye do this she knew what he was doing but still had no idea how these old healers did it without touching the patient.

"I was defending the Crown, Master Tai Ken." Kyera offered knowing it would do her little good to explain. Most of these injuries were her own fault after all. She let Bina get under her skin and break her concentration.

"Ahh, I see. Let's take a look see." he came to kneel at her side. Then after a moment, looked meaningfully at Lazren. The wolf coughed walking to the Prince.

"We should step outside, the Doctor needs room to work." Lazren hinted tilting his head toward the door. Clovis looked at the space around Kyera and the Doctor, noting how open it was and Lazten sighed. "Sir, all due respect, but the doctor needs to be able to see the wounds."

"Kyera please cooperate, for Raina's sake if nothing else." Prince Clovis told her and she looked at him rather surprised.

Cooperate? He was the one not cooperating.

"Fourth Prince, unless you want to be held responsible for this woman, I suggest you get out." Master Tai Ken's patients was running out quite rapidly. Unlike the others he could see the damage deep inside that the shadows were trying to hold at bay.

"I am respons…"

"I am going to strip her naked." Master Tai Ken cut him off and the situation dawned on Clovis, whose expression gave Lazren a laugh as he turned and left the room.

Clovis stood outside the door floored by his own stupidity. His eyes were still widened and cheeks flushed at what he had almost said. "I am responsible for her…" oh god the number of ways that could have been taken out of context.

"Lazren?" he questioned looking over at the extremely amused guard. His face now calm and composed.

"Yes, your majesty?" Lazren prompted, honestly in a good mood.

"If that sort of thing happens, and I don't get the hit DRAG ME OUT OF THERE." Clovis ordered before walking to the study to work. "Also, you have a extra training session every week for the next six."

Lazren stared at the prince, racking his brain over what happened. He failed to find a single way any of this was his fault. However, that expression alone was more than worth it.

The gentle smell of incense wafted over the room. Kyera lay quietly on the pillows, her body laying as even as flat as it could. Her dress had been replaced by a open waisted robe that tied closed just under her breasts. The lower half split into two sides so the doctor could run his hands over the rib cage and feel the damage below.

Purple bruises from strikes glared off of her soft white skin. She felt the small pains each time his hand pressed one of those tender spots. However, one rib on her left side caused her to cry out in pain, despite expecting it. Tai Ken's brow furrowed as he did the same again, feeling the bone shift.


"It seems as though the Miss that hit you harbored great anger against you." Master Tai Ken stated, it wasn't a question but Kyera knew enough about elder speak to know a explanation is needed.

"Her elder brother was one of a troupe that tried to steal the princess. I had stopped them and caused the prince to catch up. He shot the men down to rescue the Princess. Bina blames me for it." Kyera replied honestly. There was no use hiding her past when everyone pretty much knew about the daring rescue. A light of sad understanding lit in his eyes.

"If she's a rebel then the Prince and Princess were in more danger than we realized." Master Tai Ken mused, but Kyera was unnerved. She couldn't read this old man's expression. Like the butterfly whose delicate face told no tales.

"Not truly. If I had failed there were others ready to break in to save them. There was just no need with… ahhhhhh…" Kyera broke off in a low, breathy growl of pain. He raised an eyebrow as his hands finished setting the bone in place. His own power weaving it together enough to hold while it healed.

"I see. How do you know that for sure?" Master Tai asked and Kyera smiled softly.

"The Children of the Forest may be calloused and uncultured but they have their codes. No matter if the crown looks down on us or not, we must defend it." Kyera explained as the incense worked their magic, slowly draining her consciousness and left her in a restful slumber.
