Men-at-arms manning to their posts, relieving those exhausted or badly wounded; common folk huddling with their love ones, whispering words of assurance to their frightened children, telling them that everything will be alright; and there are the dying, soldiers and commoners alike who suffered injuries or mishaps that puts them at death’s door, to them Mercusio goes to after standing still in the midst for a while.  He just wanted to be useful and move about instead of being a fixture<br/><br/>He went to a nearby family of four in one corner: a man, a woman, and their two children.  “Excuse me but I’m a cleric of Lathander. Is there anything I can help you with?” Mercusio focused on the man who was lying on the floor panting in pain.  His side was covered with bandages heavily stained with his blood, already a small splotch of the red fluid formed on the floor where he lay. “Oh, please!  Can you save my husband?  He got badly slashed by the lil’ fiends, while protecting us on our way here,” pleaded the man’s wife, her eyes showing desperation and loss of hope while her children sobbed at their suffering father.  Without any further words, Mercusio knelt beside the writhing man and touched his bloodied side.  He called upon the Morninglorde to deliver this wretch from the jaws of death.  The man breathes hard, his body rising from the floor then gently settled again.  The whole episode cause a moment of wailing anguish from the family which Mercusio made a sign for silence and calm from them. The acolyte checked the man and noticed he was breathing more easily now.  “Do not worry, you husband is out of danger now.” The woman could not believe it so as she checked over her better half; his eyes fluttered open, showing relief, meeting hers and his children.  The man’s family fiercely hugged him and cried with joy at this miracle, leaving Mercusio to himself once again.  He sighed, silently rose and left them, moving on to the next - to those in need of his assistance.<br/>
