A man in a blue robe knelt beside her, just out of the blood and looked her over . His black eyes took in every inch of her while she was oblivious to him . His royal robes and deep brown hair completely missed her notice, as did his pretty boy smile and manly charms .
He however took in the way some of her white hair had red trails where blood had soaked into the hairs . Small smears of blood were on her forehead where she had wiped the sweat . Her hair was even falling from its bun and braid around her in a messy array from hurrying over . Not to mention the red stained dress with its sash not quite centered and smooth . She couldn"t be bothered with it right now .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntDespite or perhaps because of this, she was more captivating to him . Her beauty and gentle nature made clear in the defining moment . Kyera"s hands glowed slightly darker with power of the shadows . She poured all of her energy into him to stop the blood, but didn"t seal the wound . She couldn"t or she would seal the poison inside . There was too much and even if they cured the poison the dead flesh would rot . She had to clean it out .
The worst part was what she needed could be found nearby . She had smelt the little fluttering fae all over the place in the woods . However she could hardly leave to seek one herself . "Does anyone speak fairy?" she asked looking around her at the men and women around . No one spoke up but the man raised a brow . He seemed to have a small spark in his eyes as if he had an idea but was intensely curious as well .
"We don"t learn that here, what do you need Fairy Speech for?" he asked his voice gentle and curious . Kyera cast him a glance and cursed her luck . He was the third prince, Alexi . His deep brown hair, almost black tipped with red was a dead give away coupled with the azure robes of the Fox . He was known for his hunting abilities with a word where clovis was known for his bow .
"I need fairy water, if at all possible… I can"t leave his side… . d.a.m.n" She cursed still funneling energy into him . At this point she didn"t care who saw, the dark energy flowed from her fingertips just as it did from Half Eye before . He raised an eyebrow seeing such a unusual skill in broad daylight . It was refreshing for him .
"What does fairy water do? Cure the poison?" he asked taking a wild guess but he had no idea how wrong he was . Kyera shook her head meeting his eyes, but there was no rebuke in them . Only concern and appreciation for the question .
"Fairy water can rinse the wound and help clear out dead cells without melting the flesh like normal water when it touches this stuff . " Kyera explained as she lightly pressed around the wound to force the venom out . He looked away, sickened by the site . This beauty was a rare one indeed .
"That might be doable . Send for Princess Raina and her little fairy kin . " He ordered his servant as he stood . Kyera heard this and tilted her head slightly, but decided against telling him she knew the Princess . Afterall, she didn"t know how Alexi and his niece got along .
Finally, the venom stopped flowing from the wound and the tiger was stable as long as the remaining poison was kept at bay . Kyera sat back, her b.l.o.o.d.y hands on her lap as she tried to catch her breath . The blood was being held back by the shadow energy, but she wasn"t sure how long the Lion had, but she had no power left to give .
Seeing she was exhausted, Prince Alexi ordered his servant to offer Kyera a teacup which she declined . Though she could tell it was a restorative tea, she knew the tea cup was hand made china and very precious . The walls were so thing she suspected she could cut her lips on the delicate edge .
When he frowned at her disapprovingly she motioned to her handa . "b.l.o.o.d.y hands . " she explained, before looking at the wound again . A few moments pa.s.sed and found the cup brought to her lips . She glanced at him and he gave her a sweet smile .
"Take a sip . " he encouraged and Kyera allowed the energy in her to flow through the tea, ensuring it wasn"t tainted . Once she was sure it was safe, Kyera parted her lips and the serving girl poured some of the sweet hot liquid into her mouth . It was refreshing, and cool like mint .
