Kyle met up with Cara in the village. She was heading home back to where she grew up. Kyle offered to take her there seeing she had no horse or food for the trek. So before they go they enjoy dinner at the tavern and Kyle picks up ratins for the journey and two extra canteens. After such, we were off.
The jurney was not too long and we arrived at the burnt out house by sun set. Mot of the house was burned to the ground. Kyle and Cara looked thru the house for anything she could salvage.

As they sifted through the wreckage of what had been Cara's home since arriving on the English shores from fleeing her homeland of Ireland, Cara searched first the barns for proof of her surroundings, finding it in a charred but readable sign bearing her family name. Afterward she and her Knight Protector went into the burnt remains of her family home and looked about. There in she found two trunks, one small one large hidden under trap doors in what was left of the floor of each bed chamber.
The small one contained simply two bags of coins that had been her Family's savings and her mother's most prized ring, a very beloved gift from her Father. In the larger of the trunks, found within cara's own bedchamber, was found a small dowery chest, with a gown, a small bag of coin and the deed to her Family home, the last two items meant for her future Husband.
As they searched Cara and Kyle found three of the six other women held captive by the Knaves, chained in her family's shed, to which they were quickly freed and the group soon set down to a small meal before beginning work reinforcing the old wagon and loading it down for the trip back to the Castle with the trunks and what was salvagable of the family's last crop of corn, beans and wheat...

is somewhere on Windstorm lands, and says to †† ..Sir Kyle Draven.. ††: As we met upon the roads my eyes lifted for only a moment and I recognized the lanky lad on the horse as being one of Red Scars lackeys.Sighing softly though hoping it would naught come to a confrontation I winced as Ghaele swooped in causing Sir Kyle to jump clear of His mount and head into the fight.His words to me when they came did not set easy on my heart for I had no wish to leave Him to such a fight, and nearly said so...but I knew the last thing He needed to worry about was three women while He fought,for it could distract Him, and that was ne'er good.So with only a moan of distress I climb down from the wagon and mount the mare asking her to go on, giving a gentle nudge to her sides to start the wagon moving again,hearing the strikes behind me and naught daring to look back as I send a prayer to the heavens...

I am not letting them off, I will send more back here if yo stay, but if you com after me I will kill you and rid the land of your and thier bodies.....I have done so before, so do not make me. Understood?......Kyle reached for the man;s horse then the man spokr thru gargled words.."THey will kill you Knight..you and those who"....the mans spech was cut short as Kyle took ad drew his blade with an unnatral swiftness and stabed it into the man's shoulder.....the glint was one of anger and madness and the man now knew fear....Kyle withdew his sword and shethed it and mounted the horse and rode off after Cara and the oters......

is somewhere on Windstorm lands, and says to †† ..Sir Kyle Draven.. ††: Cara had no way of knowing what transpired after the mare moved off with her and the wagon full of women along with her.She was not however fool enough to think that the two men were simply chatting amicably...Oh no in fact she could just about bet that things were getting nasty.Her stomach twisted as she kept whispering prayers.She knew He was a capable fighter, after all one could not become a Knight without being so...and she knew there was more to Him than she probably could have guessed, but that was nay spoken.It had not been and probably never would be, so she did not quite know what. The looks in His eyes sometimes however when He would glance at her showed her that He had lived through far more than He was letting on.Shaking the thoughts off cara continued on...soon hearing a horse coming up behind them in the distance..Instantly upon the sound her hand flashes down to the dagger that He had given her, knowing that if things had gone badly she would be the girls only defence now and she had to do her best...

(updating the storyline a little...I lost the posts, but the rp was done in room last night)
Unaware of Kyle's condition and presence, Sofia had gone about the serious business of choosing a chamber of her own. After 2 years in a guest room, she was more than ready to move. Dragging Sookie along as this was far too serious a matter to consider alone, they were upstairs and h Sofia had chosen a pair of lovely little chambers when Millie came in babbling something about Sir Kyle then dashed out. Sofia and Sookie followed her to the infirmary, where it was discovered that "mess" didn't even begin to cover Kyle's condition. His left arm sliced open, dagger wound to right shoulder, sword had stuck through his right side (fortunately missing the lung), and his face looked like the wrong end of a Roman boxing match. Sofia proceeded to wrap, bandage, and clean Kyle's injuries, when Sookie stepped in and gave of her own blood to the injured Knight, her species having a fast clotting factor an healing fast. Kyle's wounds began to close, and Sofia finished bandaging him then tended Sookie's cut. This was when Kyle's beloved crow began to squawk and flap. Poor thing was a mess of blood and feathers, injured beyond all hope. Knowing of their bond, SOfia placed the crow on Kyle's chest and man and bird both faded off to sleep. About this time old Hannah wandered in and chased Sofia and Sookie out of the infirmary, and washed him off herself. Meanwhile, having darn near lost the man she loves, and badly shaken by the violence people could inflict, Sofia went to bed for the night.

Millie had informed her. That is... Millie had talked to her rapidly about Sir Kyle being back and Sir Kyle being wounded, and a lot of blood and how things looked very bad and she nae knew what was going on. Clearly the lass hoped that the Queen would have some information to share. Instead Edfeil went pale and in an uncharacteristic haste just left her standing there as she hurried to the infirmary to see what was going on. She just missed Sofia, but old Hannah nae refused the Queen entrance. In the dark, with nearly the banked fire for light, she could nae see much and she hesitated to call for more torches or to disturb the sleep of one who so clearly needed it. With whispered words Hannah at least was able to give her some details of what had happened, how he had been tended to by Lady Sofia and Sookie and how he was asleep now. But what had caused the injuries, she could nae say.
It would be a long night with little sleep for the queen, as she tried to find out who knew what, from the guards, those she encountered in the hallways and waited till morn to see what Lady Sofia or anyone else might know.

**She has been in and out of the infirmary all day checking Kyle from time to time. Cara was here and there of course....she's grateful for the young woman's constant vigilance, knowing he's watched with loving care even if she herself can't be there. He'd been washed again, and she checked his healing wounds carefully. A thick poultice of honey and broadleaf plantain and essence of lavendar had been applied, then new bandages placed, the old ones set to boiling outside. Ghaele, his little body a mass of cuts and wounds, was growing weaker and weaker, even as Kyle seemed to grow stronger. She had kept the bird mercifully sedated, and washed him last night with loving care that he might be clean to greet his ancestors. He now lies wrapped in a scarf of softest cashmere wool, one she treasures. Now she checks Kyle again, and seeing him doing better, tells Hannah to quit sedating him and let him awaken in his own time...plain strong willowbark tea to be given regularly against fever. Then she has soup and bread brought in for cara, and has a guard move her to the nearby bed where she sighs and stretches out under a soft blanket****

Kyle started to stir and move.....Sofia and Cara now resting after the constant they kept up during the last couple of days....his eyes would pop open and for the first time he would grunt as he felt the pain that ran thru him, but if was less than what he thought it would be and he was grateful, he started with little things to see how much he could move, he knew he would be here after what happened, he nae knew how long he been in here, but could not have been that long as he still felt the pain....he tried little things like moving hi fingers and toes first....then he stoped as he realized he was still hurt, and that only meant one thing....Ghaele.....after he uttered the name he started to feel for him....and felt him he did....he was wrapped in a chemise...his eyes softened and he spoke out once more.......not like this....we had a plan.......he sighed and his heart was heavy, he nae understood, he was healing quicker than he should, but twas not from Ghaele....twas odd, but he moved...his legs were not hurt up as his upper body was...just a few bruises and that was it for the legs.....he got up and was careful not to wake any that stayed here for him....HAnnah would come back at the time and see me with Ghaele in my arms and clutching him to my chest as tears flowed from my eyes.....Kyle feel to his knees as the final spark had left Ghaele so that he would live......NOO!!...not like this.....he thought to himself..."I was going to free you of this burden".....a guard came in after he heard me and he helps me t my feet along with HAnnah....he went back to his bed and hesat down and then laid back with Ghaele in his arms and he just held him for the last time....he laid there andclosed his eyes and he did not wan to wake up again....but he knew he would...he had a duty and wouldsee it thru to the "VERY" end......and Ghaele died to see to that and he would not faulter in this....he was given a thid chance....most people never got one....he recieved three and he wuld be Ever Vigilant in his task...now and forever...but this day belonged to Ghaele and no other...not to him....not to the Crown an not to the people of Windstorm, but to the one that gave his life to see mine go one......
as he laid there he felt something of a presense....his eyes fluttered open and he saw his beloeved walk in the room and he she reached for him....but not really for him, but for Ghaele...twas suppsed to be him going back after all this time but twas not to be.....he was staying among the living and she understood when he did not...but she came and she took the final peice of his past he clinged to and he passed him over and waved bye for the last time....once se took him away, he would be holding just a husk when he woke and he would bury him next to her when he wakes truely....he took in a breath and he just lay there...perfectly still till was his time to wake...

She reached out a hand to gently wipe away the untamed hair from his brow, all the while watching his closed eyes. Behind those lids he was battling so hard, even for his life once again, this strong but gentle man she had grown to love. He could not leave them.....he would not leave them....surely. Poor Ghaelle the Crow lay wrapped within the softest fabric, laying upon Kyle's chest. The Bird looked almost lifeless, but Dream wished him safe and well.......unwilling to accept his death just yet. With every fibre of her being she willed them on.....sending strength and courage to face those inner demons and with the most softest whisper of her lips she placed a gentle kiss to Kyle's forehead before stepped back from where she had stood in silence beside his bed. Hannah, Sofia and the young Cara had the knowledge of healing, they had done all they could for now...it was up to Kyle to fight and come back to them. With a nod and a soft smile of gratitude, she left them to continue their work and returned to her chambers hoping sleep would eventually be kinder than of late.* ((Superb play by all.....just had to post something small in recognition to you all. Hope to see you in the room when time allows  )) |

A few days after Returning==
(18:08:50)
Cara McKenna
Peasant Woman
Guest of Windstorm
: moving around the grounds of the Castle having asked Hannah to alert her if Sir Kyle awakens,heading toward the Stables...
(18:14:50)
Cara McKenna
Peasant Woman
Guest of Windstorm
is in the Stables, and says to ALL: The winds were brisk this day but Cara barely felt them as she moves along the grounds, and through the paddock of the stables slipping into the barn quietly.For a moment or two she is detained by a young stable page who nay recognizes her but shakes her head as another lad comes up and shoos him off.Moving in silence down the hallway of stalls she pauses at the one she is looking for reaching up to stroke the soft muzzle of the mare standing there,whispering a quiet greeting to her.Taking the mare's halter she lifts open the stall's latch and leads the mare out and down to the cross ties where she snaps her into place,rubbing a loving hand down the soft velvety wither.
(18:25:42)
Cara McKenna
Peasant Woman
Guest of Windstorm
is in the Stables, and says to ALL: Turning then Cara asks the stable lad where the brushes and combs are walking in that direction to to snag the soft brush and curry comb,before moving back to the mare...Thank ye pretty...ye helped ta save us all on that trip....and with those words she lifts the soft brush and begins to stroke the mare's soft hide,going in the direction of the hairs with each stroke...*swish swish swish* goes the brush all over the mares body,across her sides and back,down over her legs and rump as well as her neck...
(18:34:21)
Cara McKenna
Peasant Woman
Guest of Windstorm
is in the Stables, and says to ALL: Around both sides of the mare's body Cara moves drawing the brush across her body in the proper directions almost certain she hears a moan from the horse's throat as she sets the brush away to take up the comb...moving slowly around her a hand gently trailing the animals form to let her know where she is at all times Cara speaks crooningly to the mare as she lifts her tail to draw the comb through it...That feels good doesn't it girl?...Its all I can do for you though...Cara croons almost lovingly as she works the knots and tangles out of her tail hairs moving up to her neck mane only once every tangle has been removed...
(18:38:48)
Cara McKenna
Peasant Woman
Guest of Windstorm
is in the Stables, and says to ALL: Working her mane until every little knot has been removed Cara then pats the mare lovingly once more with another soft thanks before releasing her and walking her back to her stall.Once she has been secured again Cara watches as the Stable lad goes about feeding before telling her goodbye and walking out...heading back toward the Castle knowing she has to wash her hands before she can resume her vigil...
(18:42:33)
Cara McKenna
Peasant Woman
Guest of Windstorm
is in the Infirmary, and says to ALL: Slipping almost silently into the Infirmary again Cara pauses to wash her hands and arms clean at the bowl there before heading back to her seat nearest His bed,watching as His chest rises and falls in His slumber...
