The World of Rhune

Kari was just finishing up when Trei walked in, made himself a sandwhich, and then left. That was it, and she was happy he hadnt done anything else. The more he knew about Zay and herself, the more he could tell, trap, kill Well, maybe not kill Kari thought, but you never know After maybe a night or two, she would see if Zay would be up for sneaking away, or not even sneaking. Just start off even if Trei saw them. What could he do about it? Threaten them again? She'd have Zay with her, and he had a unique weapon that was his specialty. It was called a twin bladed boomerang. It acted as a dagger, so it could be thrown or parried with (it was just long enough) or you could use it as a boomerang that could cut deep and if thrown hard enough, cut through somthing. It was a weapon unique to Caryi, and looked like a regular curved sword Kari smiled to herself. She'd love to see the look on Trei's face then at the hideous blades. She snapped back into reality as she heard Zayde try to cover moaning unfruitfully. Kari took a small cup and filled it with the rich broth she'd made, grabbed three of the little rolls, and then quickly brought them to her brother. She found him covered in sweat and breathing heavily. But this was no surprise, Zay had gone through numerous sweats and chills, and all you could really do was let it pass. Karillian sat on the bed, and brushed Zay's hair from his face. Zay weakly opened his eyes, and upon seeing Kari, tried to smile. It came out like a lopsided clown's mouth. "Not working, but this will," Kari said and pushed the soup towards Zay's lips. She hoped the smell would help open his nose up too, and realized half of his symptoms were as if he had a cold. Zay drank gratefully, and quickly. She set the rolls next to his hand, and left to refill the cup with more soup. Zay slowly ate the rolls, thankful for some real food, though the water Trei had given him had tasted amazing, to a parched traveler. He looked at the blanket on him, and stuck his feet under it, letting the warmth flow to his feet, and recapped so far. They had made a pretty good escape, for all the military after them, minus the phantus. They had rode for two days through freezing clouds, ran out of water, and became wind chapped. Bad part Zayde mentally checked. He'd passed out when they'd landed, after the frightening landing, and then woke up to a prince looking like rumple stilskin. (idk how you spell that). After that, it seemed Kari had done somthing to him, but he still took pity, Zayde stopped himslef there. As much as the guy was being nice, he didnt really liked being taken care of. He was seventeen, and could take care of himself. He was only putting on a good face for Kari because he knew better, and really didnt want to argue with his sister. Plus, her soup was a pretty good arguement. But he knew he couldnt show anything to Trei about his annoyance. He'd probably gotten a mouth ful from Karillian, and Trei might turn them in with his ugly howlers Kari came in then with a full bowl of soup, and Zay polished it off without a second glance. "Are you okay?" Kari asked again, but Zay knew how to read his sister. "An hour, two hours of sleep and I'll be good enough to walk. We can leave tommorow if you're okay with that. I'm sure our parents will have sent ambassadors everywhere by now. That means we have to leave, like, now." Kari smiled at her brother, and listened to the howlers outside wrestling. "If we leave, I'm gonna have to find some food and water. Can I leave you for a couple of hours?" "Yeah, I'll be fine. I can still fight if I have to And I dont think that guy will bother me." Zayde jerked his head towards outside. "K, I'll get you more soup and then I'll go," Kari took his empty cup, refilled it for the third time, brought more rolls, and left them on the small side table. She grabbed her satchel, cloak, and bow and headed out. She passed Trei and his wrestling beasts, and didnt bother to look. She wrapped her cloak tighter around herself, and swung the satchel around her back. She really needed to buy a pair of hunting pants. Her ceremony dress looked a bit yellow and had seemed to have attracted all the dirt it could. Not to mention it was unacceptable for hunting. But she would have to do. She stepped quickly into the forest, her hunting senses taking over, or atleast most of them. Her brother would need meat, not just broth to recover, especially if they were constantly on the run. Kari steadily walked in the forest brush, hiding in the shadows looking for any signs of prey or food. She spied small animal tracks and followed them, hoping the animal would be somwhat big too. She tracked the animal to find a very large squirrel. She blinked for a second, but didnt move. She silently moved her bow into position, and spied the nuts the creature was knawing on. Two birds with one stone Kari thought, though the saying wasnt completely true in this case. She shot smoothly and hit the animal through the eye, right to the brain. It fell instantly, and Kari raced to grab it before some creature tracked her for her meat. Kari quickly skinned the animal and wrapped it in her hunting skin. She picked a couple handful of the nuts and let them fall lose in her bag before she moved on. About two hours later, she had fruit, more nuts, a beaver, another squirrel, she hadnt picked up water, since she knew there was water back at the little cabin. She carried a small amount of vegetables she had been able to find, and some plants that could be used as a balm or rope if need be. Kari then took a second to crack open nut and rest. She wondered what Zayde was doing, probably sleeping, or staring at the ceiling, bored out of his mind Kari imagined him, and smiled at the thought. He'd probably unraveled some of his vest so he had somthing to do. Kari's smile windened, and she cracked open another nut. They were good, and she'd have to collect more...
