[The Day before - Somewhere in the forest ]
The small hut was quiet in the deep hours of night, lit only by the dying embers in the hearth. Satou lay on the blankets Marcus had provided, he has been busy tending to his injured companions sylvara and cassius and they are both getting better..
Sylvara slept fitfully on the bed Elara had prepared, her breathing steady but occasionally hitching when pain from her side wound broke through even unconsciousness. Two days of Elara's expert care had stabilized her condition, pulled her back from the edge of death, though she was still far from recovered.
Cassius sat in his usual chair by the window, his vampire nature requiring less sleep than mortals. He'd been recovering his depleted blood magic reserves, the burns from holy water slowly healing under Elara's treatment.\
