In reply to: Felagund & Company 's message, "Re: Here we go again..." on 21:06:08 01/02/03 Thu

A brief smile tugs at the corner of Seleth's muzzle, and mentaly she thanks the captain for laying still... her last patient... was not as trusting. Wings furl tightly against her back as her body remains tense in concentration, first focusing on the cuts, now that she had contained the blood loss. Her own hide shivers and opens with bloody marks as she takes his wounds and makes them her own. Then, still half dazed, she vaguely tries to nod her thanks to the other Elderay, before shoving a hind paw into the water... and allwing it's healing contents to enter her own blood stream, and thus heal the wounds she recieved from Felagund. The superficial cuts scab over, and Seleth gently smooths them over with her own fresh skincells, giving the patient only minimal scar tissue where wounds had taken their toll. Then Seleth forces her spiritula self out of the blod and into his chest, where she follows his trachea up to his head, and then begins to examine his ear from the inside... seeing all the bones and other tissue as if she were there herself. Her physical form grunts as she finds the problem of hs hearing loss, two burst eardrums, painful, and rendering the captain deaf. With a grunt of concentration Seleth focuses on her own ears, and replaces her own tissue with the tissue of captains that was losst... Her head suddenly sears with pain and she turns back to the healing spells of the water contained in the bucket in her distress havign to stop her healing of the captain in order to heal her own eardrums. Nonetheless, when the pain is gone, she is able to return back to the trance and grins smartly as she eyes the healed eardrum. For the other ear Seleth goes a bit differntly, and copys her tissue into his head, one cell at a time, so that she'd replace her own as soon as it was freely given. This was a longer process, but after completeion, there was a lack of pain... for both patients. Seleth grumbles a bit, but forces herself onto the leg... she was growing tired as she spoke, and though she'd like to correct the shape of the eardrums, she didn't have time to be a perfectionist. With a silent nod she told the Captain that she was almost done, but for this part she would have to numb his leg... or else he could go into shock from the pain of what was to come. Hoping he heard her message, she focuses on simly nothing, running this lack of feling up and down the Elderays leg... or at least.. what was left of it. She allows bloodflow to return to this portion of his leg... but controls it... so he wouldn't lose too much. Seleth snarled as she realized she was under a great deal of time pressure with this, and thus began as swiftly as possible. And so, focusing on his other leg, she takes the bone from her hind haunches, performs a similar copying method, and seemingly stretches the bone remnants, forcing the blood to curl into veins like her own around the bone as it stretches. She stops as she reaches where his paw would be, and reinforces the bone in the same method, until it was about the same density as his other leg. Then, focusing on her own fur, she merely removes patch of skin from her own hide, shifting it over to his leg, and wrapping it protectively around tissues she'd copied from her leg as well. Stopping blood flow, as this was a matter of presicison, she carefully models his new paw from her own paw, stretching and reinforcing the bones as needed, so it matched almsot perfectly his other apendage. To this she also aded the appropriate tendons and tissues, covered it in fur from her own flank, and then with a nod, createds slits for the claws to protrude. With a slight change in the proteins of the fur, she has transformed it to the color of the rest of his body, finally, she focuses on bringing the blood down into this newly formed leg, cracks a place for his joints and fixes them with tendons in the approprite places, and nods... the Elderray should be fine now. Thus healing her patient, and removing herself from his form, Seleth collapses back onto the earth behind her. The healer's chest rises and falls as she struggles for breath, and just manages to kick the bucket of water so it falls over her open flank without skin and fur where she had taken the grafts. Peering up at the two Elderay beside her with glazed eyes, she manages to whisper, "He's okay.. River.. please...Washi?" Before completeingly falling to the realms of dark exaustion.
