Hoshor Plains Confined in mountain halls,

She returned to the plains today to try again to find plants to sooth her daughter's sickness. With everything presumably tended at home and her mate watching the children, she set out again. There was a slight break in the rain, but the sky promised a quick return, so she hoped to make this fast and get home with what she needed for Malila before she got too soaked.

A terrifying bolt of lightening dropped down from the sky and touched the ground a ways ahead of where she was. She paused to watch it with wide eyes; she could tell it reached the ground, but she was too far away to see exactly where it hit. Followed soon after the flash were the sounds of someone crying out in pain. Without thinking, Speedy rushed forward, unable to ignore possibility that someone might need her help. 

The sky opened up as she sprinted across the plains, letting loose large drops of rain that had her fur soaked within seconds. The smell of scorched earth and burned flesh made her stomach turn, while also ensuring that she was getting closer. When she finally reached the injured wolves, her eyes found the stranger first, but were instantly ripped away by the recognition of the other unconscious form. Ira, she called out as she tried to push away the initial panic of seeing her friend laying motionless on the ground with red, angry burns across the skin of her leg and side. Snapping herself into action, she took a few steps towards the other woman who appeared to be guarding the bodies. What happened? she asked. Although she had a feeling she already knew; she just hoped it wasn't true. 

Unless the other woman stopped her, she would move to Ira first and look her over and then to the other fallen form. Both had similar injuries. The healer looked up worriedly. The rain will help the healing process start, she stated. But I need to get them back to my pack's territory to continue their care. She pointed her nose to Ira, This is my pack's leader, Ira, and I am their medic, she added, hoping that would ease any distrust the stranger might still have lingering in her mind about Speedy's intentions. But even if the woman agreed to help, there was no way they could move both bodies back to the river on their own, which meant she might have to leave to go get help. She hated the thought of the leaving the injured women here, but she wasn't sure she had a choice.
