Desolation 2: Begin again

[Razuel]

I reach down lifting him up over my head before lowering him onto my back and shoulders

Raz made small short breath noises as he was lifted up and placed on Lacar's shoulders before making a happy sound as he was able to see further over things as opposed to when he could only see a few feet off the ground.

[Lacar Lacrest]

"Is that better"I smile up at him as I look over the streets to spot anyone

[Razuel]

Raz nodded before coughing, his body spontaneously growing rather hot as he lost his grip on Lacar, slowly starting to fall back.


It seems Raz had contracted a fever, and a nasty one at that.  In a dragling's younger years, they start to have a monumental fever at about 5 years old... but Raz had missed that time to have his, which had made his parents worry, and now he worried as a fever like this at his age could be fatal... he can pull through it, but he needs near constant water and something to keep him cool... this fever is not contagious, but for a little while, Raz's scales will feel like hot glass.

[Lacar Lacrest]

I turn to catch him, his hot scales burning my skin a little"oh no, are you ok boy"I carry him over to one of the sleepingspots and lay him on it.

[Razuel]

Raz blinked lazily as he panted and whined as the heat was quite unbearable

[Lacar Lacrest]

I grabbed some water for him realizing how warm he was"here drink"I put the canteen to his mouth

[Razuel]

Raz didn't want to move a muscle, but he tried his best to move and drink from the canteen, his gulps being more of small sips, Raz stopped drinking for a moment, intending to not drink anymore, but he needed more water, just like when one has a fever, to always consume water to sweat out the water.

Raz continued to whine and moan, his noises gently echoing through the concrete jungle, the cries sounding quite pained.

[Fable]

Fable looks up quickly hearing the echoed moans. Fable couldn't quite tell where it was coming from but worried it would be another of those creatures! Fables heart started to race as they glanced from the Fox back up to where Fable could hear the moans. If that was the sound of one of those creatures Fable knew they needed a better place to hide. Glances back at the not so far away fox. If they ran they would surely be seen. Fable had had a bad run in with survivors before and couldn't afford to get their supplies stolen again! Fable tried to very carefully and slowly back away but of course trying to walk backward without being able to see where you're stepping and with a large tail trailing behind you walking becomes much more of a challenge. Fable stumbles backward tripping over their large tail.

[Lacar Lacrest]

"Hey come on, drink some more you have to"I rub his forehead hoping it'd help soothe him.

[Razuel]

Raz kept his mouth shut, shaking his head at drinking anymore.    From the touch of his forehead, it would seem to get hotter, Raz needed water badly, and it seemed that he would need something to sooth his throat that wouldn't require him to swallow... maybe a numbing agent or a dry syrup medicine... possibly honey could work.




Raz continued to moan out into the sky.

[Vosur Aekira]

Hearing the agony, she looked back to the base-camp, cursing under her breath before she rushed back to the rope and started to climb up it. "I know that wasn't Lacar and his messed-up leg, the only other one it could be would be that dragon. Need to find out what's going on or else the base-camp will attract more attention than whoever fired the shots from before." she grumbled under her breath as she shifted with each portion of the climb.

[Razuel]

Raz continued to moan out into the sky, his eyes growing tired, but the pain was too much that he couldn't and refused to sleep, searing hot tears soon leaking out of his ducts, not affecting his scales as they were tuned to heat, but touching them would be like touching boiling water.

[Lacar Lacrest]

I place a damp rag on his head and give him some more water"shhhh,its ok" after a moment I dig around for pain killers.

[Razuel]

The cloth would start to emit steam as it quickly grew warm on his head, but would not catch fire.   Raz sputtered out most of the water, the rest gliding down his throat and as his mouth and throat were void of water again, he started to cry out again, his pitches in crying and moaning sounding like hurt or pain.

[David Le Fox]

 More gunshots rang through the city, though these were closer to the base-camp than before.
