Elfen "Haven" (Dake21 & WanderingZombie)

[Dake21]

Aaron Lorddrake was nothing, but your average, strong, traveling warrior in search of adventure. Aaron used to be apart of a royal guard of some far off kingdom with life manageable there, but however it didn't do wonders to relay on his boredom much. There wasn't much excitement to come from his position at times. Probably because everything was set on a strict and standard code. Sure, it was peaceful, but still even at peaceful times, living beings need to find some worth in their lives to do something instead of repeating the same boring routine day after day. It was then, Aaron decided to quit and take a leave of absence from the royal guards and decided to go find what he is truly destined for in life while leaving his friends and family behind at his old kingdom.

On his journey, he has experiences a lot of new things and places beholding to anyone's eyes, but still haven't find the right "charm" in his life that he would like to live by on. Thus, he continue his travels to the next destination to the next. On the way of his travels, he began to diminished on food and water along the way. Despite getting refilling on both to each town he came across, there were still a large distance between them; making things harder for him to keep his supplies steady and keep emergency rations needed to continue his journey. In time, he soon run out of both of his food and water on one of his pathways and was beginning to deteriorate because of it. "Ahh....Food....Water....." He said while walking around in a large forest terrain and desperately trying to find something he could drink or eat.

However, his body would get the best of him as he soon couldn't move a single step anymore before passing out slowly and laying unconscious on the grassy ground, now motionless.

Elwyn enjoyed the forest. The peace and tranquillity of it always helped to calm her from the duties all elves held back in their little community. She was more of a healer for her kind, a loving spirit who took the time to nurse every injury brought to her to the best of her abilities. Her trips to the forest rose when she was not busy, or if she needed to gather some ingredients for her potions and salves. Many of her friends offered to run out into the woods in search of the herbs and flowers, however she did not trust their judgement. With a reputation to protect she needed the finest of her ingredients, not to mention the correct plant over all. It would be dangerous to not gather the right plant, grind it up and treat an injury. It could very easily kill her patients.

It was a quieter time of life, when the males were not busy with protecting their territory or females. Elwyn had time to make a surplus with the upcoming new season, when the males would become more active and come to her with injuries. On this day, she hummed softly as she waltzed through the trees with her basket-shoulder bag half full of her findings. The forest was always quiet, so when she heard a sound in the distance she paused in her tracks and listened, her pointed ears alert. She followed the sound cautiously, taking full trust without a weapon on her person. It took a few moments, but she found the source. It was a human, that she could tell immediately, and a male. She had not seen a human before in these parts and wondered if he was lost. As she approached him, she made sure to make noise so as not to startle him. However, on reaching him, she found that he was unconscious. She could not just leave the human there, weak and vulnerable and susceptible to death. While these woods were mainly inhabited by her kind, she had heard of creatures far more dangerous lingering around nightfall. She squatted down and looked her arm under his knees and under his shoulders, lifting him up with a slight struggle. Elven women were stronger than humans, and so she was able to carry the human back to her small swelling. She set him gently down onto her bed, glad to have not been confronted by a single being on her return. Her sister, she knew, would find him soon enough. But for right now it was just her that knew of the human.

After she had him in her bed, she retrieved a cloth and some water. She saturated the cloth, wrung it out and began to wipe his face from the grime that had accumulated on his skin. The water was cool, and she hoped it would help to wake him. She had also brought some water and bread for him to eat, hoping that it wouldn't be too late for the human.
