It wasn't obvious at first that there was something different about where she inevitably wandered to on a frequent basis. The remnants of the dream still holding to her memory like a dusty cobweb that refused to disappear no matter how many times you swept it away. The tendrils drifting down to brush against her and cling stickily. She wondered how long it truly would be, before she faded away into madness.<br/><br/>Then there was a sound... a sound that she was convinced was impossible. Yet, her feet moved quickly towards the source, needing to confirm it was impossible. She nearly stumbled over some equipment that was at her best guess, used for climbing. She knelt down with trembling fingers, her heart jumping to a rapid pace when she heard another sound, and picked over the rim in time to see a figure go flying from the badly damaged lifeboat. There had been no one inside of it. The catastrophic event far too quick to allow anyone to even attempt to escape.<br/><br/>A soft cry of dismay left her lips, and without thinking she stumbled over the edge, her eco-suit cushioning her huge leap. It had more than enough power to aid her in lifting and jumping deftly, little puffs of air pushing her along when she needed it to. It was sensitive enough to know when she stepped off a steep height. While it wasn't flight, it did explain some of her fast movements.<br/><br/>All this was of little concern to her a she scrambled across the devestated field to reach the only other being she had seen alive over 800 days. " NOOO, no no no no, you can't leave me alone again!" She cried out, and finally reached the figure. Only to pause in her tracks from shock. While he had many similar features of her own kind, there were marked differences as well. He was much bigger then even legend spoke about for males. Wide across, heavily muscled, and bred for battle. He had to weigh more than she could ever hope to lift by herself.<br/><br/>The deep dark flecks of green, interspersed throughout the overall chestnut brown hair was not a coloring among her peoples. She drew in a breath, astounded by his beauty. "What... are you?" She asked softly and then shaking herself out of shock, and deciding it didn't matter who or what he was for now, it was just about getting him to safety. She reached down and felt for a pulse, his skin thick and protective, but not unpleasant to the touch, and finally she found a steady beat. Then her eyes went to the damage and she reached for her antiseptic spray, but stopped, afraid she might hurt him by accident. So she did the only other thing she could, she left him. At least long enough to go to the lifeboat and dig out a small device that acted like an emergency gurney. It floated no more than about 4 feet off the ground. However, with a bit of cleverness, and her suit, she found a way to use it to slowly hover him up and over the edge of the crater.<br/><br/>It was risky for them both to remain where they were, and just as risky to try and use herself as the "ground" while she climbed back up over the edge. But done slowly, it worked well enough. Still she was tired by the time they made it up. She worried at him being passed out for so long, but with no way to gauge how is health was doing, she just prayed to the Goddess for the best.<br/><br/>She wasn't sure she could take another being, no matter their origins, dying in her arms. She swallowed a painful lump down at her thoughts and shook her head again, to remove those cobwebs. Then pushed him forward,  jumping from trunk to trunk on her route home. It was lucky that she had memorized it so well, so that the limitations on the hover-gurney did not matter so much.<br/><br/>Slowly, and finally they reached the tree house. She strapped up a few live-vines to the gurney and a pulley, before raising him up. Finally when he was level, she jumped her way up, and swung the gurney to a level surface, before untying them and pushing him inside to rest him upon her bed. Her scent was deeply ingrained within it, but for now, she could do naught about it. So she took some clean water, and strips of cloth and bound the wounds up she could.<br/><br/>Finally she sat back and curled up into a small ball from a corner she could watch him from, while praying to her Goddess that his eyes would open, and he would be okay. "Please." She whispered softly, her deep blue eyes never leaving him as they watched for a sign he would awaken.
