Teyha was working on her evening rounds, checking the condition of various patients. It was a daily ritual, rarely ever broken but for the most part simple review. The elder village healer walked by Teyha's side, carefully watching as the young woman changed the bandages on a severely burned man. Behind her stood a raiden', dressed all in shades of white and grey, a thin veil hiding his impassive face from view. As all Raiden's eyes are, to show they are hidden from sight until needed or rewarded. His Daitre sat across the room, looking bored as she idly tinkered with the thin band of black metal around her wrist.<br/><br/>"A little tighter." The healer urged as Teyha wrapped the medicated gauze, "Now, let the Raiden' assist you." Teyha nodded again, and stood back. The tall man bowed deeply as Teyha moved for him, and gently placed his hand on the burn. Teyha blinked, watching as hundreds of threads erupted from the complex device on his palm. The threads moved into the skin, glowed slightly and pulsed with energy, before vanishing, each spot they touched growing less red.<br/><br/>"Amazing." The elderly woman commented, "All he needs to do is touch it..." Teyha almost opened her mouth to describe the threads again, but a look from the healer made her rock back, and she turned to stare again at the work. She remembered commenting on it just one, months ago... To have the woman grab her by the shoulders and shake her fiercely, telling her again and again that she didn't see anything, until Teyha conceded.<br/><br/>There was a crash, and the Daitre was on her feet. "An alarm has been raised." She told them in a hurried voice, and the Raide' withdrew his hand from the injury, turning to follow his leash holder as she ran from the room. "Go on." The healer told Teyha gently, giving her a push out. "I'm too old to go chasing alarms, and they might need a healer there."<br/><br/>Teyha paused, and nodded slightly, grabbing a large bag as she hurried out of the cottage. She ran to follow several pairs of leashed ones and holders, a strange eeriness settling over her. Around her she could hear the panicked explanation of why the small village was in such distress.<br/><br/>"A man was passing by the cursed ruin... He said the outside began to spin, as if controlled by a Raide'! That the center lit with a light, and was as if filled with ocean water, that erupted in a wave straight out, before pulling back and settling calm once more. He ran back here to inform us!" One frightened shouted, and was echoed by more cries.<br/><br/>"Is it a rouge Raide?"<br/><br/>"From the other continent!"<br/><br/>"No one lives there!"<br/><br/>"Then what kind of witchcraft is this?"<br/><br/>They would soon find out. It was less than a ten minute run back to the circular structure, and the visitors would be met by nearly thirty people, few armed, but all ready to defend the small village... The petite healer, Teyha, settling in near the back to watch the horrifying situation unfold, and pray her expertise was not necessary.<br/><br/><br/>((Phew!!! Long post, sorry guys XD))
