(I must go also after this.)

Torene poked and prodded and applied a healing spell wherever Makoru winced. Gradually he began to feel better as she covered all the spots she had missed. His injuries had been extensive. "There," she said, when she had done and he had finished giving directions to Anwen. You will be sore and until the poison is completely out of your system you will feel weak and nauseus."  She gave him water to drink.  "No wine until I say. Drink water--lots of it--to clear the poison. Rest now, while we travel."

She turned to Raelynn. "Let me see your leg." Raelynn stretched out the offending limb painfully. Torene tugged at her boot and rolled up her greaves leg. She probed until Raelynn yelped. Then, although she was weary from all the energy already expended healing Makoru, she wrapped her hands around the injury and cast the healing spell again. When Raelynn sighed in relief, she held it a moment longer then removed her hands and collapsed.

This time Strogg did not hesitate. He lifted Torene and lay her down beside Makoru in the bed of the cart, where she stretched out beside him and slept, with her arm thrown across his chest.

"You should all be more respectfull of her," said Strogg, admonishing them in a stern voice. "We'd never have gotten this far without her.  She has healed most of you.  Think of where you would be without her.  She's the greatest healer I've ever seen and I don't care if she IS a witch." He looked at Jack. "You call yourself Makoru's friend and yet you dishonor his mate.  You should be stretched out in the sun for the dunerippers to feed on." He sat back down in his customary spot at the back to keep watch. It was the most he'd spoken for the whole trip.

Anwen smiled, proud of Strogg for speaking his mind. It was in her mind as well. She looked forward toward the rough trail they still had ahead of them. The horses were beat. She didn't figure they had much left in them. She prayed to Talos fervently that they lasted until they reached their destination.

Talos, grant us victory.
