All the people looked over to John, none spoke up. A young girl broke from the crown and ran up to John, she tapped his arm to get his attention then ran off. Hoping John followed behind her she ran into the medics house.
Te woman began tending to Liam's wounds, magic alone wasn't going to heal him, he needed time.

[~edit]

John nodded and followed her, just hoping he wasn't too late. "Please! A medic!" He called looking around the house.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

tTwo men turned to John when he barged in, when they saw Hector in his arms they moved up "we have take her" one said, he grabbed hector out of Johns arms "do not worry, our elder is very skilled" he moved into the back room, the other stopped John.

"I am sorry, but the elder cannot have any distractions"

The man stepped into the back, the old woman looked up "oh dear not another..." She said, she cleared the other bed and the man set Hector down "now shoo" she said waving him off. She unbuttoned Hector's jacket and carefully slipped her out of it. Gently the woman moved Hector to her side, she undid the corset and looked at the bullet wounds, they had broken apart inside of Hector, this was going to need something more complex.
The elder grabbed grabbed a few dark stones out of a bowl. She rolled Hector on her chest, the stones began to glow a faint blue color, the woman placed them on Hector's back. The magic in the rocks began sinking into Hector, the shrapnel inside her would begin to dissolve and transmute into blood, after that the wounds would begin to heal.

The color in Hector's face slowly began to return as she breathed properly from the loosened corset. The woman's magic began to resonate with Hector's ring, seeming to amplify her healing ability with Hector's own will to live. In little time at all, her life had gone from the verge of death to high chance of survival.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

"that's it sweetie" she said, watching Hector accept the magic, if this kept up she would be better in no time at all.
The woman looked back to Liam, he still seemed to struggle, he was rejecting the magic "little Lemon..." She mumbled out with a look of dismay, she knew why he was doing this, he wanted to die "Please child...keep fighting" she said as she increased the magic on Liam's stones.

The prince worked hard to help organize get the situation under control. The shore was covered with wreckage and dead bodies of Norran soldiers that also needed to be taken care of quickly. The last thing they needed was for disease to spread, and it didn't help that many of the bodies were floating on the bay. Still, he did his best, and given the circumstances, he felt he would have no choice but to either burn the Norran soldiers or send them back to Norra. He then turned towards a small group of medics who were ordered to heal the dying Norran soldiers and also the group of Norran POWs who hadn't been able to excape.

Shepard told the captain to head straight for Norra, he ended to inform the king of his MIA son. Shepard was mad at himself, he left him alone, he should have never done that.

[~to morning? c:]  

[lil_lollypop1]

((Sounds good to me. ))

After the fleet had left, all of the Norran soldiers were brought back to their shores and lined up for them. The Prince thought the best he could do for them was to give them back. Likewise, the dead of Ander were sent back on the semi-damaged flag ship. After the delivering ships returned from Norra, Lance went to bed in his own room, but he couldn't sleep. He found himself pacing back and forth until dawn, awaiting word on how Hector was doing. As soon as he saw the sun rising, he could take it no longer, and he left to find where he was.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

The woman removed the stones from Hector's back, she was completely healed, all that was left were additional scars on her back "you did good honey" she said.

Liam was fast asleep, although he had accepted the magic but he was still in pain. Images from last night replayed in his dream. The woman rubbed his hair, she wanted to help him, but there was nothing she could do anymore.

The woman stepped to the front room, she saw John was still there "She's doing just fine" she said to reassure him "she's resting now" the woman patted Johns shoulder and stepped outside.

John walked over to Priscilla, touching the side of her face as she slept soundly. He began to tear up again, knowing she was still with him, and he walked outside and sat by the door, feeling a huge weight being lifted off of his chest.

After asking for directions, the prince walked up to the medic hut and saw John sitting there. He feared for the worst and walked up to Hector's body. Seeing her slowly breathing, the prince smiled, and he lightly touched her scar covered back. 'It's worse then I thought...' he admitted to himself, and noticed her chest pushing against the corset. He blushed, but also felt a strong sense of shame for putting a woman out on the field. "Hector, you idiot..." He muttered to her.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

The ship landed on Norras bay, he now had to deliver the news to the king. Loosing his son would hit him hard, but he had a feeling that he would be more dissappointed that he lost Mithra. He began the trek up to the palace.  

[lil_lollypop1]

The prince was beside himself, but he knew he couldn't keep this up. He went back and laid on his bed, forcing himself to go to sleep.

Hector slowly woke up that morning, stretching and feeling great. She suddenly looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings with slight panic as she recalled what happened the day before. "I... I'm alive?" She muttered, delightfully surprised.

(( I'm going to bed soon. ))  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

Liam rolled in his bed as he woke up, he was still in a bit of pain so he didn't want to stand up. As he looked around the room he spotted Hector, instantly he turned on his side, facing away from her, he didn't want her to recognize him.

[~alrighty then]  

[lil_lollypop1]

First, Hector realized her corset had been loosened, and her jacket set aside. Quickly, she grabbed the jacket to cover herself. "H-hello? Anyone there?" She called, not wanting to step outside like she was.  

[Smells-Like-A-Cookie]

Liam didn't say anything, he grabbed the blanket and tossed it over his head, trying to hide.

"dammit!" The man yelled out "all that effort for nothing! I knew I should have sent for reinforcements from Hannon..." The man paced the room, Shepard kneeling before him. The man hadn't even reacted to the Liam missing, but he was furious over Mithras takeover.
