She limped to the cabin in pain “damn, damn!” She said with anguish her left leg stained with blood she ran up to the door and said “hello could anyone help!”

Seth heard the call and looked up from his book. He looked at Salaa. "Go down to the crystal cave," he told her. Then he stood up and when to the door, opening it slowly, with his dagger behind his back. "Yes?" he asked. "Can I help you?"

“Please help” she said as her eyesight started to dim there was a large slash on her left leg and then her eyesight went black and her knees buckled as she fell against the wooden floor

Seth lurched forward catching her head before it hit the ground. He picked her up and carried her into the cabin, setting her onto a chair. Then he began looking at her injuries. "Darn it," he breathed. "Now that Tolkalee's gone we end up with someone injured."

The sentence of runes on her neck started to glow and grow in length

Seth jumped back in surprise. "Um okay," he said out loud looking at the glowing runes. "Please let those be some sort of healing magic, and not something about to blow this place to the moon."

Her face contorted in pain a minute later the runes stoped growing and the glow started to subside

The room was still, Seth stared at the girl for a moment, deciding whether or not she was safe. Once he made his decision he set to work wrapping her leg in a temporary bandage until Tolkalee got back.

Her eyes shot open and she took a sharp intake in breath her hand shot up to her neck where the runes were “damn, they grew again”

Seth looked up at her still wrapping up her leg. "Hold still please," he said looking back at his work. "I'd like to keep you from bleeding out before the actual healer gets back."

“Okay “ she put her arm back down “what’s your name”

"Seth Dentialgo, what name do you go by?" he glanced up at her again.

“Kat Stephens, nice to meet you”

Seth gave a curt nod to her as he finished wrapping her leg. "It's nice to meet you too," he said standing up. His voice was practically empty of all emotion though. He wasn't good at human interaction.

“How much did it grow” she said with concern

"The odd markings on your neck? Not much, maybe a few millimeters, why?" Seth asked.

“Good” she said in relief “those markings their a curse” usually she didn’t tell people this much but she felt like she could trust him

He nodded in understanding. "Do you know how to break the curse?' he asked.

“Yes but I’m no where near breaking it”

"What does it do?" he asked as he began putting things away. He glanced at her again, she had blue eyes like his.

“ I was cursed with magic, I have a large array of magic I can use but sometimes it goes wrong the more these marks grow the more random my magic gets and if the runes envelope my entire body I die”

Seth finished putting his things away and looked at her again. "Do the marks expand when you use magic?"
