Moonspear blood makes atonement for one's life

Maybe @Kukutux but open!

Hydra left him to fend for himself, allowing him a temporary window to visit the mountain and recover; she loved him despite his stupidity and he was greatful, but deep down there were wounds that could not be easily mended. He could walk with some struggle. Arcturus had torn his hindquarters effectively and the strain of balancing, walking, shifting his weight, caused spasms of pain to shoot up his lower back. He was cold despite this, appearing unaffected as best he could manage. It felt like being in the pit all over again - a comparison that unnerved him more than his wounds.

He sought out some birch trees, eager to strip their bark and begin chewing it to alleviate his pain. He managed to peel some lower, thin sections away - but they fell from his teeth and drifted to the dirt on the breeze, and were lost among the forest's detritus. Huffing in frustration, Revui rose up like a hungry bear and lunged against the trunk, feeling his lower back spasm and then faltering to earth, unsuccessful. Exacerbating his wounds led to some reopening, spawning blood scent and dizzying him immediately.
