The Twin-Spirit had returned with Rhiak the next day, though in the interim he had been no where to be found. His face was smeared with soot and his bare arms and torso were painted with the image of a skeletal frame. Worn leather straps  were wrapped tight around his knuckles and were fitted with long grey cougar claws. On the underside, his palms were bloody and torn, painted with paw pads. He looked exhausted as he pushed past Rhiak and came to stand at the head of the unconscious man. He just stood there for a long moment, his head downward as he looked at the man. "I have been running all night." Silence settled on Orri's face again and he stared again, half with them all and half somewhere else.<br/><br/>His gaze then snapped and fixed sharp on the healer. "He is strong. This, this is something you know." He spoke in soft but firm rebuke. "You will find a way to bring him water and I will run again." He placed his clawed and shredded palms on the man's cheeks, softly caressing them as he closed his eyes. "Yes. Yes, this is what I will do. I will run faster and deeper into the wood and I will find his strength. I will bring it back." The Twin-spirit took in a deep breath, savoring something that only he seemed to detect. He exhaled sharply, his focus clear as he looked back to the healer. "You are Arjan, yes, you are. You will bring him the water, and I will will bring back his strength. Yes. Yes this is how we will succeed. And Rhiak..." He turned to face the hunter with a softer expression of request. "You will watch me as I run. There is someone we must see. Soon. Now. Or Arjan will never know what will become of this man. I will not tell him now, no I won't, but there will be no use to say it if water and strength slip away."<br/><br/>It was hard to tell if Orri was playing at crazy or if he was just plain crazy, but none-the-less he left his words at what they were, nuzzled the unconscious man's forehead, smiled to Arjan, and turned to leave. He beckoned the hunter to follow him. Once outside the hut, still without further words, he mounted his horse. He always rode bareback though the mount was painted and decorated much like himself and held an honored place in the Twin-Spirits life. The beast seemed to need no command from the shaman and moved off in a quick gait. "We must go see Sansura!" He called back and Rhiak then had insight to the Twin-Spirits plan. Sansura was an old mountain lion that had a territory just north of where the foreigner had been found and was counted among Orri's most favorite wild counterparts. She was a veteran of many failed hunts to take her down and bore the scars of a true wilderness survivor.<br/><br/>The story had it that in his training years that Orri had hunted her on the spirit plane and that she could not escape his tenacious pursuit. She then turned to fight him, one spirit besting and devouring another; but she failed, they locked strength for strength, power for power, and in the end melded to be forever at one another's aid when needed. It was in Sansura's territory that Orri lived when he wasn't wandering, and it was in Sansura's territory that the foreigner had fallen. It was Orri's intention to enter into that realm of spirit again to 'run' and to find something normal men couldn't see. It was Orri's intention that Rhiak watch over his unconscious form as he did so.
