the search for shiney

Lykca awoke to Nudek moving around. During the night he slumped over and his paw had been resting in her lap.

<span style='color:red'>Ugh...Morning already? wow...the sun is bright today...What time is it i wonder? Oh Nudek...how do you feel? </span>

He asked and felt silly for rambling on like that.

<span style='color:red'>If your well enough you could walk out with some help from me, or if you wanted, i could carry you. It would be alot easier and would not be a problem to me. </span>

 

Lykca smiled at her.

<span style='color:red'>Well i guess you can walk then...but let me know if its too much for you okay Nudek? Cause i'd be more than happy to help you out.</span>

He said with the smile still on his face. Lykca stood now, and gazed out across the lake, and watched the reflection of the sun waving and swirling in the rippling water.

<span style='color:red'>Wow... thats sure some sight...i still cant believe theres a place like this in the middle of the jungle...</span>

Lykca was almost in a daze, watching that impressive sight. it was as though he could not take his eyes off of it.

 

<span style='color:red'>Whoa...this entire jungle...covered in snow? And the lake...i will have to come see this place again when it happens.</span>

Said Lykca, with a look in his eyes, as though he could see it now.

<span style='color:red'>Well, i guess we had better get going eh Nudek?</span>

As he gently took her arm and got her up.
The morning sun was shining so bright that Lykca had to turn around because of the glair in his eyes.

<span style='color:red'>Are you ready to set out Nudek?</span>

He asked while waiting for her to start along the path home.

 

Lykca gazed up into the snow and a smile crossed his face. He hadn't seen snow in such a long time. Yet at the same time he was very confused...How did Nudek know that it would snow? And so quickly?

<span style='color:red'>Its been so long...since I have seen the snow. So if you want to stay here a little bit longer, I'd be happy too. I love snow.</span>

He said and walked over to her, then helped her back to the tree they were leaning against. He sat after Nudek was settled in and just watched the snow falling lightly onto the ground, and sprinkling into the lake.

<span style='color:red'>~such beauty...i cant believe they are all different..every one of them...they are just like us...not one is the same.~</span> He thought, sighed, and relaxed.

 

Lykca reacted to her pain quickly, and put a bit more pressure on her wound...tryin to stop the pain. he ran quickly into the woods where all of the dead lay from thier battle, and grabbed a few of thier cloaks. He then returned to Nudek and toke one cloak to make a new bandage. He wrapped it around her and tied it off at the end. After that Lykca put on one of the cloaks himself and gave one to Nudek to wear.

<span style='color:red'>You have to stay warm. We can leave whenever you want, and come back as soon as you are healed enough.</span>

He said, looking into her eyes and seeing the pain she was in.

 

Lykca got up close to her, and put an arm around her as they started walking, to make sure that she wouldnt fall. All that was running through his head was to het her to a healer...as fast as he could.

<span style='color:red'>You just concentrate on walking Nudek...Don't you worry about anything else. I promise to get you back into the town and to a healer as fast as i possibly can. And then after you are all better, we will come back here and watch the snow fall, and look at the ice covering the lake, maybe we can camp there for a while. All we would have to do is bring a few supplies.....</span>

As fast as he started talking, he stoped, and looked around quietly as they walked. He smelled something in the air, but was not too sure what it was. Although he was thinking that it was just his imagination running away with him.

 

Lykca looked back at her.

<span style='color:red'>No, it's nothing...Just my imagination...I think.</span>

Still looking at her, he was getting kind of worried. The snow falling and the cold air all around, it wasnt too good for the health. Lykca stopped walking for a moment as he took off his cloak, and put it on Nudek.

<span style='color:red'>Here, it's more important that you stay warm. You're injured and need to keep warm. </span>

He said quietly, as they began walking again, through the green and now partially white jungle.

 

Lykca looked and smiled back at her.

<span style='color:red'>I promised that I would get you to a healer, and I still will. Come on, we still have a little ways left to go. But we are almost there.</span>

He said as they kept walking towards the exit.

<span style='color:red'>It was so great meeting you Nudek...and i had so much fun with you...well...if you could call that battle fun...but everything else was awsome...i hope...that you get better soon, so that we can go and visit the lake, and see all of the snow and everything...</span>

 

Lykca looked at her leaning against the tree...she was obviously in pain from all of this walking.

<span style='color:red'>If it's okay with you Nudek, i could carry you the rest of the way. We could be there in no more than ten minutes or so...I don't want to see you push yourself any more than you already have...Or you will make your wounds alot worse...</span>

He said, putting his paw on her shoulder.

 

Seeing, her fall, Lykca dashed over to her, and disregarded what she had said, picked her up over his shoulder carefully and dashed off towards the town.

<span style='color:red'>You were right Nudek, you aren't too light for your size...but its nothing i cant handle. I'll get you to the healer right now! You really need some healing or i dont think you're gonna last too much longer. Just don't fall asleep on me now. try to stay awake!</span>

He ran as fast as his legs could take him, and eventually reached the town. After a short time dashing around a dragon showed him towards the healers place, and Lykca stepped inside, with Nudek over his shoulder.
