Aurum tossed the stone into her pack, hoping that he had heard her replies and took them to heart.. but she dropped the back next to the wood and the cushion bench she had collected. The dragon set the cushion on the wood, wiping her face as she worked. The men surrounded the king and tried to do what they could to make him comfortable, but the woman set to make him moveable. Aurum set her pack on the makeshift stretcher, as if he could use it as a pillow, and stood straight after a few minutes of working. There was a determination in her eyes, and she kept wiping away at her face to clear it of liquid - not that it mattered, she was spreading streaks of blood across her cheeks with each wipe. The dragon let out a breath that she didn't realize she was holding, and looked to the king, "I'm taking him home. I need at least two of you to ride with," There were no volunteers for the woman's plan.
Narrowing eyes watched the men, and she took in a slow breath while a hand went to her gut - "Oh!" It was an exclamation of pain, her hand knocking into the arrow that still protruded from her stomach. Aurum winced at the feeling, but she raised the hand and pointed to two of the soldiers - one uninjured and the other the largest, though he looked as though he had suffered a blow to the leg, "You two, help the king onto the stretcher and everyone else will help you lift it to my back," She looked around at everyone, but the intimidation tactic would not help her now. Without her glimmer, she was shorter and less imposing, her pale skin a giveaway to her unnatural background, and her horns came through her light hair. Aurum gestured to the stretcher, "We need to save him!" This time a yell, she was frantic and anxious to get going.

"I will heal the one coming with and give the others enough coin to pay the nearest healer," Obviously with no intent to stop or slow down, the dragon had a tone that was firm and certain, her hands going to the arrow that stuck out from her shoulder. One firmly held to the arrow near the wound and the other at the end of it.. Aurum took in a sharp breath and snapped it, letting out a soft cry as she wiped fresh blood from her hand. She left the one in her gut for later, unsure what it had punctured through her body. The dragon moved to the muscular man she had volunteered for the trip, and muttered healing incantations to seal the worst of his leg injury. She moved to the king and dug in the pack that was under his head, pulling out a small bag that jingled with an underestimating amount of weight. She beckoned over a soldier and took out coin by the handfuls, filling the guard's small pouch to the brim.
The trip started rocky - the men unaccustomed to dragon flight and having to balance the king proved difficult - but they got the hang of it soon enough, and after just a couple of hours the dragon arrived to the castle.. which in itself was no easy task. A dragon, so close to the kingdom's heart, was frightening at best. Worse yet, she landed along the castle's wall, letting the men down with the king.. which, again, was not easy without the help of the group from the beginning. When he was down, Aurum shifted back into her human form and helped the soldiers transport Varyian to the medical wing of the castle. The young girl stayed with the man even when others went, hours passing without care for herself. The exhausted girl eventually fell asleep, hunched over on the bed with her head resting on her crossed arms. Hours spent trying to heal her father-in-law drained her so, and she had hardly spent a moment worrying for herself. The blood around her wounds was caked and dried, the arrows still not removed despite numerous attempts to get the princess away from Varyian. She wouldn't have it. Not until Kaelthas arrived.

The king, at least, was improving. Not nearly as much as he would be with Kael's help, but enough to hold on until his arrival. Aurum, however, festered. The dragon was smarter than to let her body ache the way it had, she knew better than to go untreated for so long.. but grief outweighed her senses and Varyian needed her to stick around. Even if she was not the most skilled healer the kingdom had, she was far more attentive than the others were. Aurum held onto hope, and though his subjects loved him, they did not see Varyian pulling through the injuries he had sustained. The dragon slept soundlessly, her breathing a little more shallow than it probably should have been - but she did stir some when another body entered the infirmary. The noise of it, while not enough to wake her fully, had her performing the spells while half-asleep and exhausted from the routine.
The spells were nearly slurred, her hands brushing over each wound as she grumbled out the words. When she finished each bandaged area, she returned her arms to the bed and laid her head on them, returning to her slumber with no indication that she would soon come out of it without assistance.

Seeing his wife in such a state, Kaelthas didn't know what to think. It looked as if they had been thru hell, the both of them. Moving outside, Kaelthas grabbed one of the guards and asked what happened. Neither of them seemed to know of it tho as he pushed the man away in anger. Turning back to the room, Kaelthas walked inside it closing the door behind him as he went towards the bed. Aurum, draped across it, didn't stir at his approach. Her wounds were severe from what he could tell with an arrow protruding from her gut. How long had she been like this? Had she refused the healers he wondered. Looking at his father, he seemed on the surface to hold wounds as well but his did not seem to be near as severe. Unlike his wife he could not smell magic and had little knowledge of healing spells. For some reason he was never able to get them to work right in his younger years.
Leaning down next to Aurum he shook his head, lifting his hand he gave a small utterance. As he did a nearby bed floated over towards them. He would need to get the healers in to clean her wounds. It wasn't until he kneeled down and wrapped his arms around her did he realize. Her Glimmer had dissipated. In his worry he had not noticed it, the glimmer only up when the two were in public. "What happened" he muttered lifting Aurum up from the resting position. He did his best to move slow. The arrow in her shoulder now visible to him. From head to toe his some what small wife held wounds. All closed up, none from a healer as best as he could tell. Moving her to the bed nearby he again uttered a single spell. The bed again moving, this time coming to a rest next to his fathers. "Healer" Kaelthas called soft into the room doing his best not to wake either of the two sleeping.
