Ixonia knew that there was nothing that she could do to help the situation except to take the hatchlings to her cave and care for them until everything had passed but she wondered and worried about what was going to happen to Damian and why River went beserk. She kept the hatchlings busy and cleaned her cave.<br/><br/>The Lore Master finally got up and looked around. She had some work to do here but it could wait. First things first. She found the poor hatchling laying down or rather collapsed in a heap. She picked up Daibak and carried her to River's cave. She placed the little hatchling in her bed then got River's bed ready for him.<br/><br/>She went back to the main cave and spoke in a gentle voice  "Earth, le do thoil a thabhairt dom an fear a shealbhú tú ionas gur féidir liom aire a thabhairt dó."<br/><br/>A soft rumbling from the ground then River was slowly pushed up in which The Lore Master pulled gently on his body. Once River was out of the ground all was silent once more. The Lore Master levitated him to his cave where she stripped him of his clothes and washed his body as she levitated him. It was exhausting work but she knew that she was the only one who could do this for the others had left.<br/><br/>After she finished cleaning River up up, she placed him in bed and covered him up. She was now wishing that Lily or Nikoli was there to advise her. It was a long hard day and she still had the food delivery. She teleported to to the Warehouse and simply teleported the foodstuffs to each cave except River's. She had several things yet to do and one was to make a general announcement.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 200%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="color: #FF00FF">TO ALL STUDENTS, DUE TO TODAY'S CALAMITY CLASSES WILL BE SHORTENED. PLEASE REPORT TO THE MAIN CAVE AFTER RETRIEVING THE FOODSTUFF THAT HAS BEEN PLACED OUTSIDE OF YOUR CAVE. IT WILL TAKE ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. WHO HAS MY HATCHLINGS, PLEASE BRING THEM ALONG WITH YOU.</span></span></span><br/><br/>The Lore Master then teleported to her cave and began to put away her food. It was then that she realized what she saw on River's body. Old scars of what must be whip marks or other forms of punishments and very faint outlines of runes. Perhaps his use of runes kept him sane? And since he did not reapply them, they began to fade away and leaving him helpless? She would have to ask him once he was well enough to be able to function once more. And she must keep her faith in all that she was to do. Plus read about what she could do for all of those who were hurt in this calamity.
