Through the cavern and out the other end... But where did it lead, again? When Yuuka had posed the question to Takuto, the Head Crafter of Solarisclan, he scratched his chin and answered, "That dusty cavern in No Man's Land? It doesn't lead anywhere but back to the entrance, from what I know." However, the answer didn't seem to satisfy the young mender, and she itched to wander through a place with nothing but a dead end.
As the black-haired mender stood in front of the cave opening, the sun soon setting, her hair blew in front of her face because of the forceful wind. She listened to nothing but the rustling of leaves, bushes, and that of the like; all the while it felt like she was being pulled inside by the hand-- a feeling that happened often, though she had grown used to it enough to grow numb should it happen again.
Yuuka faced the dark and squinted into it, thinking to see a bit of light: perhaps a flame? Someone's flame, it had to be. It burned in her world as bright as Blitz did, after all.
That might have been what pushed her; the captivating light alike a moth to a flame. The mender walked into the dark cavern, listening to the wind echoing behind her. Whispering in her ear to walk farther and farther and farther, until...
She snapped awake when she found a recognizable face next to the light. He was holding it, even. She remembered his face from a time before. A crow! He was a crow. The tall, slender male before her was the crow she had talked to, not all too long ago.
The young mender mumbled her greeting, usually being his name, "Ookami Crow-kun." Whatever light so clear that she had been following faded into nothing but the background.

[attr="class","pic"]  For this mender the night was a rather long and restless one. He tossed and turned, beads of sweat clouding his forehead. The prior days had been... eventful to say the least. The treaty had been broken, someone died and now they were at a silent war. Lately his mind was becoming hazy, the nights were cold despite the humidity, the perfect signs of a fever. How ironic, a mender needing to mend himself. A task that sounded easier than it really was. Determined to cure this illness, the mender set out to procure a few herbs but it seemed as though the fever heightened. His surroundings were blurry, breathing was quickening and next thing he knew, he was inside Tinezar, the most useless cave in all of Lalonia... or was it? His mind couldn't process it though. He needed to find a way to get out of this cave and back to his cave... but it was cold... and the fire was warm... and he could no longer move. He would lay down for a moment, just a moment. Soon, soon he'd get up and go home... soon... That was the condition Yuuka had found him in, he wasn't even aware of her presence. The mender sat near the wall, his usually alert eyes clouded.

No amount of repentance can allay the emotions behind the loss of a life. Apologies fix nothing.

No response? Yuuka felt a tad uneasy, as usually the Crow would at least make some sort of motion that he noticed her presence, even if she was invisible. Was she invisible? The young mender blinked and looked down at herself, unsure if she was or was not.
She wasn't. So what was the problem? Her awareness seemed to increase as something in her head started ticking. She was a mender--healer, right? Should she ever have needed to remember what she knew of the berries, now would be the time. He looked sick; he had to be sick. Yuuka quickly slid over to him, checking his head for a fever.
Positive. His head was hot, certainly, and something was array. He needed medicine, and medicine quick. Just how long had he been in such a state? At least there was some stroke of luck in her premonition of strolling through the dead-end Tinezar.
Although, she unfortunately didn't have the premonition of taking anything with her, aside from herself. If she were to go running back to her clan, something may happen to him, and in that case, what then? Yuuka's mind hadn't really thought clearly in the ways of work, even she was slightly surprised she could. The black-haired mender figured it was because of the seriousness of the situation, but right! She needed to focus. Back to thinking. Thinking...
With a jolt, a large squawk sounded beside her. Of course, Blitz had followed her, even without her knowledge. Had she thought more often, she would have already known he was with her. Wait, wasn't that it? Just what she needed, right? Another presence, making sure the male was alright while she was away.
"Blitz." The mender said sternly, surprisingly. Never had her directions to the bird have been said with such a force. "Watch over him once I leave. Don't allow him to leave until I get back. Be as looooud as you can if something happens, okay?"
As if she actually got herself an answer, she stood up and bolted out of the cavern, repeating over and over what herbs she figured she needed, and then some. "Turtle Tail, Spider Silk. Turtle Tail, Spider Silk..."
