“Ah, but that was my mistake, sister,” Rowan replied dreamily. She wasn’t losing that much blood, but she was starting to feel a little lightheaded. Perhaps it was the excitement. The Power slipped from her grasp as soon as Armande had sped away from the shoreline. That monster mermaid – where had it come from? What was it exactly?
Vale began binding Rowan’s leg as Armande put as much distance between them and the monster. Rowan began to sit up, but quickly found that such notions were unwise on her part. Instead, she settled back into the cushioned seat and waited for Vale to finish her work.
“I should have let you try, love,” Rowan was speaking to Vale, although she was staring at the ceiling of the vehicle, “But I only thought of protecting you and Armande. I have never seen a beast such as that… Who is to say what it could be capable of? I will not make that mistake again, sister, I know you are fierce. Is Armande well? It did not strike him, did it?”
Vale finished dressing Rowan’s wounds and moved off to the rear of the vehicle to change. Rowan stole a glance. She was convinced that Vale could wear anything, anything, in the world and she would still look like a warrior queen. Rowan wanted to change into a clean dress but standing and walking was not on the menu for the moment. Once she could clear her head more, she would settle on using flows of Water and Air to clean the blood and dirt that had covered the bottom half of her skirts. For now, she could not even think of embracing the Power. Instead, she finally mustered the strength to sit up.
