Flavia smiled, "Thank you! i will consider it, but it won't happen anytime soon though, but again i thank you!" She smiled, but her smiled went away as she saw him put his hand on a dagger of somesort, he most likely heard the noice and was worried...there wasn;t any harmful animals on the island that she knew of...but there was the ever haunting of a beast unknown, only the gods knew. She heard more rustles and stopped short..."What do u think that is?" she said worridly.

Ambrose turned to face her and simply placed a finger to his lips as he drew the dagger from his belt. "Boar.." He whispered as he gestured for her to stand behind him as he faced in the correct general direction. Ambrose was well aware that most women in this country could fight very well but she was a priestess and he did not desire to take any chances. He took a deep breath as suddenly, from the thicket a huge wild boar charged at them. Ambrose, instantly saw that his dagger would not help much as he pushed her aside before jumping out of the way as the boar turned to face them again. Ambrose stood to his feet as it charged and lept away and stabbed his dagger towards its neck striking with great accuracy but as he thrust the knife stayed stuck in the creature as it continued to run, making another turn and heading towards Flavia.

Flavia widened her eyes to show her fear. She hadn't seen a boar in a while. Mostly becuase she didn't go this far into the woods ususually since the cause of her mother's death was presumably by a wild animal in the deep dark parts of the forests, that's when she relized how dark it was, it must have gotten later in the day. she guessed around evening. She silently moved behind Ambrose with fear on her face when the boar charged at them. Ambrose pushed her aside she fell on her back out of the way, but Ambrose's failed attempt to kill it, and hte boar rushed at her she looked up and saw it coming she prayed to any of th gods listening, specailly to Artemis, for strength... she took a dagger from a sheath on her belt, that she always kept handy, for sacrifices, or times such as this. She was freaked out of her mind, but she rolled out of the way as the boar charged on when it turned around to look at her she gathered all the strength and courage that she held the dagger above her head, she screamed "Where is the best place to kill it??" She was totally freaked she hoped he would answer in time. She was going to use the practise that she had aquired training for battle in her spare time.

Ambrose, as the beast moved towards Flavia, was climbing back to his feet to intercept the boar. He watched as Flavia rolled out of the way and saw that she was unharmed as she yelled out how to kill the creature. " The neck! " He yelled as the boar began to run towards her as Ambrose grabbed a stone and cast it, striking the boar in the eye causing it run vier of course and into a tree. Now enraged, the creature ran at Ambrose and he lept out of the way once again, but one of the sharp tusks caught his leg and sliced through the tender thigh muscle as Ambrose cried out as the creature circled and saw Flavia once again and charged towards her as Ambrose struggled to his feet once again.

Flavia's response to the yell that Ambrose gave to her was too slow of reaction that the boar got away. But it seemed taht the yell also served as a purpose for the boar to turn away from her and slamed into a tree. She lowered her dagger, but still keeping it out and ready to kill. With all this time her eyes were closed, trying to concentrate on praying to the gods for accuracy. But when the boar turned toward Ambrose again she opened her eyes to see the following events. She cryed out when the boar rushed toward Ambrose and riped threw his flesh, she wasn't fond of blood, even though she did sacrifices everyday. But before she could finish what she was thinking she saw the boar rush toward her again...wasn't he getting tired of these circles yet, she thought? But she got up on her knees to get a better shot and now she knew to stick the boar in the neck. The boar rushed to her and she got ready to kill it, she prayed and before she realized it the boar was right infront of her...She rose her dagger higher and aimed at the neck and threw it into the boar. It squealed and was apparently stunned, she wasn't sure what was supposed to happen. It didn't move, just there infront of her. She turned to Ambrose who was wounded but seemed alive. "Is it dead? Or is it faking it? Is that a trick the the evil boar has acquired?" Her face was fear striken as she looked at Ambrose.

Ambrose slowly rose to his feet, blood gushing from the wound on his leg. The wound was rather deep, tearing not only the flesh but the muscle as well, cutting deep enough all the way to the bone on his leg. The tusks of a boar were extremely sharp and with enough force they could cause a lot of damage. Ambrose made his way over to her, still bleeding from the wound as he looked at the creature that lay on the ground. He shook his head before collapsing onto the ground from the loss of blood. " No, the creature is dead..." He said as he pulled himself up against a tree, resting his back against it breathing heavily.

Oh my god, you are wounded, and not just wounded lightly...it looks deep. She laid her hand on his leg beside the wound. She only gently touched it. "Oh, about the boar, thank you very much for guiding me with your excellent skill!" She smiled at him with all the care in the world... She thought for some kind of remedie that could be found in the forest. She ripped a strip of cloth off the bottom of her robe, again another strip of cloth. She wrapped the cloth around his wound, staunching the blood. It still bled much but that was all she could do at the moment. "Asclepius come upon this man Ambrose and heal his wound that the wild boar has done to him." Both her hands were upon his wound, praying to the god of medicine. "How bad is it? It looks frightfully serious we can go back to the city and get a medicine woman to tend to it if you like...I am not sure how i will transport you at that though..." Her face was downcast, looking at the wound and judging how serious it was. She tried to smile reassuringly at Ambrose.

Ambrose shook his head as she spoke of moving back into town. He knew very well that that was not the best idea in the world. He shook his head before he took in another breath to speak. " No, I have already lost enough blood and your small cloth shall hardly be enough to stop all of the bleeding. The tusk bore deep into the flesh, severing the muscle. " He said as he ran his hand through his hair. He quickly, then took off his shirt, as best he could and instructed her. " Quickly, tie this above the wound. " He said as he then removed his belt. " And tie this below the wound..and find something else to get rid of the flowing blood. " He said in a commanding but yet calm voice

Flavia did what he instructed, she took his shirt and tied it tight, but not to tight that it cut off circulation. Then she recieved his belt and tied that under the wound. Usually in the sight of a man with out a shirt, specially with his build made her excited, but she remembered that he had mentioned having a wife earlier so she kept her head about her, but she couldn't stop her eyes looking at him and his face. But then she remebered that he told her to get something else for the blood, she didn't know what there was in the forest. She took her scarf that she remebered that she had and removed the already bloodied cloth and replaced it with her scarf. " There, a little better, hopefully the blood with subside before i have to strip just to save your leg!" She was joking and she hoped he understood that.

Ambrose grunted whenever she tied the belt and the shirt around his leg. He closed his eyes and rested his head against the tree, taking a few deep breaths before opening his eyes once again at her comment. He knew very well that the two tied articles of his clothes would increase his chances of living considering the fact that they would slow down the blood flow. " Well, its no more than me stripping.." He said with the same sense of humor as there was sweat running down his face as he was growing rather tired and began to breath heavily again, control the flow of blood as best he could.

"I'll be right back, im going to get some water, hopefully that will refresh you and speed your recovery." She didn't know how she would carry back the water but she would do it somehow. Also it would let Ambrose have a little time to himself and to gather his thoughts. She left and went to a brook that wasn't to far away. She found a part of hollowed out tree and got a big leaf to put under the bottom. She filled it with water as best as she could and put her hand under the bottom also to retain the water. She rushed back to Ambrose dipped another chunk of her robe in the water and then gave him the water.. "It isn't the best quality, but if you value your life, it could help you." She wipped his face with the water as well to help him cool down and feel more comfortable. She sat by his side as he drank....She was quiet for a little bit..."Thank you, for helping me..i had no clue on what to do!" She smiled at him.

Ambrose nodded whenever he listened to her tell him that she was going to get some water. He was relieved to here that she was doing so, knowing that might help him a good bit. He sighed as he laid his head back against the tree and closed his eyes and waited for her to return. In a few moments she returned. He nodded as she offered him some water and drunk as much as he could before leaning back against the tree. He nodded again and smiled. " Your welcome. I'm sorry i couldn't be more helpful. " He said as he gestured to his leg.

Flavia smiled.."Yea, im not really esxpecting it, just stay down until you feel alright, i have all the time in the world. There are other people at the temple to attend to visitors! Do you need some more water? I can quickly go and get some more if you really need some. But until you need more refreshing, you said you were here selling horses, but you seem more than a horse trader...did u come here just to sell horses or are you sizing up a potential enemy?" Flavia smiled she said the last sentance in joking, but serious tone.

He shook his head as she offered to go get him some more water. " No, i am fine thank you. " He said with another smile as he ran his hand through his hair lightly as he coughed loudly before he ran his hand over his brow and took another deep breath as she asked him about potential enemies. " No, i do not believe this country to be to much of a threat. " He said with another smile as he closed his eyes and began to drift off to sleep. In a moment he snapped out of it, knowing that if he slept he might not wake up, considering the fact that he had lost a lot of blood already ..

"ok, well whenever you need something, just ask me and i'll get it for you!" she wiped his brow again, she took off the bloodied cloth and replaced it with a new clean one. She laid back and looked at him, he was tired, but she wasn't sure how stable he was. "What kind of horses do you sell?" She wasn't sure if he was in the mood to talk, but she didn't want him to enter into a half-dead state.
((ringwraith??!?!?) hehe)
