Several large rooms were filled with beds in which knights were being treated for their injuries. Some of the them had received only minor wounds, whilst others stained their sheets crimson from the wounds that they'd received. A few of the men and women were secured to their beds with sturdy rope and they cried out in fear every time that a shadow fell over them as someone passed nearby.“WHAT KIND OF HEALING HAVE YOU GIVEN THESE MEN?" Caleb asked a group of healers."As much as Mishakal can give them," a barbarian woman in white furs replied."Pelor grants them a healing rest," a small man in bright yellow robes stated."Apollo will restore the strength to these brave warriors," a third healer responded."Tomeri's blessing gives them restful sleep," a halfling man added.The halfling priest was tending to one of the knights who was attempting to wrest himself free of his bonds. He was joined by a halfling priestess and the two worked together to calm the man and helped him to get some much needed rest."My name is Silvermoon,” the halfling priest walked up to Serena. “This is Kriskrafts my wife," he said as he introduced the female halfling."I am Serena," the seer responded. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Chosen of Tomeri.” The halfling priest embraced the heart seer and his wife did the same. Serena felt an immediate rapport with the two halflings, as if she had finally found some more of her family. “Let it be known that your deeds are strengthening our community every day.""What deeds?" Serena was used to the clergy of Tomeri treating her with respect due to her status as a Chosen, but she had not thought about the fact that her travels were closely followed by the clergy as well."Your great deeds, word is spreading that you have completed your quest." Silvermoon took Serena by the arm and steered her over to a table were some sweet meats and drinks were prepared. He and Kriskrafts made sure that everyone had something to eat, making them feel welcome and at home."I haven't..." Serena began trying to explain that she'd not finished her quest."Your valour in saving Haven was a great blessing for all of us," Kriskrafts smiled and held Serena's hand. The seer felt very content in the presence of the halfling couple and for a moment forgot about all her cares and worries.Caleb coughed loudly. "JUST CLEARING MY THROAT," he said noting that Serena was getting distracted."That was really Caleb and Littleby's doing," the seer explained. She'd certainly helped, but the earth genasi and the dwarf had worked actively to slow down the march."We have heard of the warrior of stone who slowed the march and the lore master who saved the sacred library." Silvermoon nodded his head in thanks to both men. As a scholar himself he knew the value of the written word and was especially pleased as he'd recently sent one of his completed works to the library in Haven that Littleby had saved.The halfling couple led the companions to the bed in which Sir Vamish lay sleeping and the two said a quick prayer to the goddess of Love and Wisdom to aid the injured warrior. Sir Vamish had been dealt several nasty blows by his enemies  before the Anakharim overcame his defences. The knight's valour had saved the lives of many of his men and they had dragged him from beneath his slain foes in time to save him from being crushed.  Sir Vamish's face was ashen and bandages covered his arms and chest. His closed eyes flickered as if he was in the grips of a terrible dream. Silvermoon placed a white blanket over the knight and Sir Vamish slept more soundly. Serena recognised the blanket as a holy item used in the service of Tomeri. Malkir had a similar blanket, but he was off in Limbo getting to grips with his Divergence.  "My Lady I have the scent," Zakar stated."Fantastic," Serena replied, cheered by the presence of Silvermoon and Kriskrafts."The knight are preparing to ride within the hour," Lady Toujin informed the others."Would you mind awfully if I peek in to his mind?" Cade asked the priestess of Bahamut."Well it is very unusual,” Lady Toujin was somewhat apprehensive about allowing the halfling to poke around in the knight's head, but she also realised that they still did not know much about what happened in the battle. “But only if you can guarantee that no harm will come to him.""Oh, absolutely." Cade grinned reassuringly at the priestess and pulled up a stool so that he could reach the sleeping knight."Can you be sure that no harm will come to you?" Littleby asked, curious to see what Cade had in mind."This is only a danger if this man is of genius intellect and I'm pretty sure that we don't have to worry about that in this case. It would be better if he could give his consent though." Cade had done this before, but he preferred doing it with a willing subject.</blockquote>
