Naois sat quietly facing the rushing waterfalls. His breath was calm and even, a new change from a time prior. He sighed, dropping a hand into the water. If someone had looked upon him, they would have almost thought him a mummy. Bandages covered almost all of his recovering body. He laughed under his breath at the thought. "From angel to mummy, now wouldn't that be backtracking," he sighed and swirled the water with his hand. He would soon prepare for the inevitable, he didn't know when or where it would happen but he knew it would. He couldn't stand back and let others deal with that beast, he had to fight the wraith one way or another.

The sound of a rushing waterfall caught her attention, with her ears perking up at the idea of being able to finally get into clean water and wash her clothes and her body. Quickening her pace toward the sound of the rushing water as it fell off from a cliff, the excitement in her was boiling and building by the second. Unclasping the cloak that she had on about her shoulders and began carrying it as she moved through the shrubs to find serene scenery of the falls and the light mist that was coming forth from the rushing water.

Walking forth to the basin of water that had collected, she had dipped her cloak into the water and began to take off a few remnants of her clothing starting with her boots. That is until a figure had caught her eye. " How long had he been there..." she thought as a bit of weary then turned to anger, only to resolve itself in a few moments at the thought. "He must have been here and I probably just didn't see him..." He seemed to be injured beyond belief with bandages covering his body. Taking the boots off of her feet and dipping them into the water as well with her cloak, she slowly began to make her way over to the bandaged figure.

Stopping a few feet from him, with her head tilted slightly to the side as her eyes scanned him over once then twice. " You seem to be hurt beyond belief..." she said with a soft voice, " Shouldn't you be receiving some type of medical treatment instead of rolling yourself up in paper?

"I did," He blinked lazily, looking at his reflection in the water. He sighed and laid down. "Who are you?" He kept things simple, not wanting to make too much exertion. The wingless-angel watched the clouds go by while waiting for an answer. He blinked a few times, thinking that one looked like an dog.

" It seems like you went through a lot, and that is all the healing has done? " Shaking her head in confusion not one to really pry to much into others business no matter how much she wanted to know. She turned about getting ready to go back and soak the rest of her things in the water until the question hit her eyes causing her to stop in her tracks.

" I am nothing more than a wanderer, moving from one place to the next without a purpose for movement. I go wherever the winds blow. My name is Illia if you wanted to know." She made a soft smile, but didn't turn around to reveal it to the stranger, only did she turn around when the smile was gone from her face and her usual expressionless facial appeal was back. " Now if I may direct the same question towards you, Who are you?"

He nodded, "I am angel Naois, or rather 'was'. I don't have wings anymore," he crossed his arms, watching the clouds go by again. "You never seem to be able to truly be greatful for a view like this until you've stared death straight in the eye." He sighed liking the peace for once.

Picking her cloak out of the water as she walked over to a low lying tree ringing out some of the excess water she then draped her cloak across the branch letting the wind take care of the rest. Turning back around looking to Naois her brow furrowed as she heard him say 'was'.

" We're wings really what made you an angel or the power that you have? Did those wings help you fight and live each day or was it the will and drive in yourself on to the next thing? If you ask me, wings are nothing more than an accessory sort of like my ears. They don't make me a kin of the elves, but they are just accessories they help other know I have elven blood, similar to your wings as well I guess."

Shrugging her shoulders as she walked back to the water basin taking her boots out and placing them next to the tree, hoping that they would be dry as soon as the cloak would be dry. Now came the hard part of figuring out how she would be able to bathe herself with someone close by. Though it seemed as if he wasn't paying attention anyway starting to weigh her options, would it be best to go ahead and go for it, or to forget about it and leave after taking a brief break.

He sighed, having been told that before. He wandered over to a tree and dropped down again. He tugged the cloth around him better nodding off. He mumbled in his sleep, dreaming that he would stand triumphant over the wraith. His sword arm twitched as he drempt he raised his blade to the sky.

A soft chuckle and a smile had shown across her lips as he seemed to be dozing off, at that time she had quickly disregarded her garments and placed them into another basin as she quickly moved into the water, and began to submerge her body into it. The water was cold to the touch as it lapsed over her upper and lower body, coming up to her neck. Her arms grabbing her body as she began to shiver a bit, until the feeling of the cold water had washed away leaving a neutral and almost warming feeling.

Resting her back against the ground and her head resting back on the ground as well, her eyes looking up to the water that was falling from the cliff at a rapid rate and coming down to a powerful crash at the end. Her eyes had quickly darted back over toward Naois she had almost forgotten he was their at that point, " Is he on the verge of death because of those wounds..? " She thought as her eyes remained locked on the angel.

Naois took in a calm breath, he was healing so that was good. But he suffered so much, he wondered how much he could take. Perhaps if he tripped he could tear open uncountable wounds, where would he be then? He shuddered at the thought. He never bothered looking to the waterfalls again.

It was the highest point of the day- bright gold came in patches, breaking through the thick canopy, countless creatures scrurried to an fro, nocturnal ones sleeping peacefully in the brush. This place was new to Ara, the waterfalls cascaded upon the slippery rocks, and she wandered through the woodland around the falls. Few trees towered above the canopy, these were the magical ones. She searched amoungst these taller trees. She reached one which had a smooth, milky colored bark. She smiled and exclaimed at her good luck.

Entu Lanara- Dragons Blood

The leaves were expansive and spring green, she plucked one low-growing leaf, and it was coarse and brittle from lack of sunlight. She grabbed hold of the trunk-a normally difficult feat, as it too was expansive, and she snaked up the tree until she reached the majority of branches. She swung higher until she reached sunlight, then plucked a relatively smaller leaf. This one was smooth like the bark. She slid down the tree and placed her feet firmly on the leaf ridden ground. She pressed her sword against the bark and used a rock to tap it into the sap. It was, indeed, the color of dragon's blood-a deep crimson. It leaked from the tree, and she gathered the sap on the leaf. The sap of the Entu Lanara had great healing powers, and the healing was powerful, but natural, not magic. Sometimes nature worked better than spells.

She strolled back into the clearing, carefully wrapping the crimson sap in the leaf so it looked like a present. She spotted the angel resting near the falls.
"Hey, Naois-" she noticed the other elf takling to him.
"Hello, I am Aralishia Bandaar, but you may call me Ara. Who are you?"

Naois nodded, rubbing his sore arm. He twirled a twig between his fingers, having lost focus. He tossed it onto a leaf and laid down on his side. "Whats that?" He looked at the leaf, the one that clearly seemed to be containing something. He coughed once, wiping off a faint trail of blood that appeared.

Whirling around to take another look at who else was their, being caught up in the serene peacefulness of this area and scenery had left her senses to fall and it seemed like everyone had taken the chance to make their moving. Biting her lower lip " Curses why is it always the time when I'm relaxing or bathing that people come about..." Making a soft sigh, turning about in the basin and resting her arms upon the ground, looking to the another figure who had shown up. Calling herself by the name of Ara.

" I am Illiamynrae Elisiryn, or just Ilia for short if you like, I had come here to wash my clothes and bathe, little did I know what I see an angel." Tilting her head over toward Naois. " Nor did I know that you would be coming here either. " Turning her attention back to Ara, " Please do tell me one thing though...Are more people going to bring themselves to this area, because if so I would like to know so I can get dressed."

A soft chuckle and a smile had become visible upon her lips, as she began to relax her posture once more, her bones and muscles relaxing under the gentle waves the falls were creating in the water.
