Soar to New Heights~ A Bat 1x1 with Moony and Firebird!

[~Firebird Rising~]

Now that Graphite's fury had left him, he was dazed. When he heard Luna, he quickly turned around. "Y-yeah..." he said. He puffed out his chest. "I guess I was pretty brave, wasn't I?" He grinned, then looked back at Luna, his gaze softening. "Luna, I just want you to know that... that I..."

Just then, Obsidian, still on the branch, let out a low moan.

"Obsidian!" Graphite gasped, suddenly noticing his injured sister. He swooped down next to her. The Sky Prism leader's wings were torn, and she had deep puncture holes and gashes all over her body from where the owl had snatched her. "Oh geez oh geez oh geez!" Graphite said in a panic. "Er... uh... It's okay, sis! You're going to be okay!" He looked around desperately. "Luna! You're a Healer! Please! Help her!"

[Moony-Mae]

Luna rushed over in shock and examined Obsidian. "I think I know how to cure her," she told Graphite. "She looks pretty bad, but I can save her before it's too late. Stay here for just a moment, would you? I need to get my things." She flew off.

[✖ＨＥＳＴＩＡ]

{wow, Moonbeam should come to help}

[Moony-Mae]

(Yeah!)

Luna reappeared moments later, carrying some bugs, a portion of green leaves and sharp thorns, an acorn cap full of water, and a long web of silk cobwebs. "Okay, let's see what I can do," Luna said, examining Obsidian again. She took out the leaves and told the Leader to eat them. "I know they don't taste good, but they'll soothe the pain and you can wash it down with some water." she said kindly.

[Moony-Mae]

(Bump!)

[~Firebird Rising~]

Obsidian nodded, but was in too much pain to speak. Dutifully, she took the leaves in her mouth, chewed slowly, and swallowed, then lay back, eyes closed. Already, she could feel the pain dulling a bit, and let out a shuddering sigh.

Graphite watched all this with wide, worried eyes. He hadn't left his sister's side. "Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked fretfully.

[Moony-Mae]

"Now that you mention it," said Luna, taking a stick and making a wing splint out of it using the cobwebs, "You could fetch me some bloodflower. I need it to put her to sleep so I can mend her wings. It has bright scarlet petals with pale green leaves. It grows on a bush down by the river about 300 wingbeats north. If you could get it for me, the operation would go so much more smoothly." She smiled at him and filled the now empty acorn cap with some bugs and gave it to Obsidian.

[~Firebird Rising~]

"Okay! Right away!" Graphite said, lifting off into the air. He flew as fast as he could North, all the while scouring the banks of the river, trying to spot the bush that Luna had described. "Bloodflower... Bloodflower... Where are you?" he muttered to himself as he flew. He was so concentrating on the ground that he never noticed the tree. He slammed headfirst into a huge oak and dropped like a rock. Dazed, he looked up, and saw... "Bright scarlet petals? Pale green leaves?" he gasped as he stared at the bush in front of him. "Found it!" he cried happily, and quickly began to gather as much of the precious flower as he could carry.

"D-do I eat this?" Obsidian rasped, looking at the insects that Luna had given her.

[Moony-Mae]

"Yeah, they're just bugs," she said. "Unless you're not hungry, but I would assume you won't be awake for an hour or so. These wings are so torn I'll have to gently mend them, which may take time. I wouldn't want to cause you any pain." She started organizing her ingredients and hoped Graphite would be able to find everything well.

[~Firebird Rising~]

"Okay," Obsidian nodded, and swallowed all the bugs.

It was right then that Graphite came flying back, with as much bloodflower in his mouth and clutched in his feet as absolutely possible. "Aie fhound deh bluuodfhlowar!" he said with his mouth full. He spit some of the flowers out, and repeated, "I found the bloodflower! Did I get enough?" he asked Luna, laying his enormous load of flowers at her feet.
