Kiko murmured words of healing as the caravan swayed down the road. Her companion was pale faced, drenched in sweat from fever.
The healer wished that she had time to stop the caravan and search through her pack for herbs and potions; it was clear the wound was infected, and she didn't enjoy relying solely on supplications to the gods and on spells.
The gods could be so fickle.
Instead they raced across the dirt path as fast as was possible without putting the whole group in danger of turning over on tree roots or pot holes.
She knew the others in the group would have stopped to fight if it hadn't been for her and her companion; a few Naga were surely no match for the mercenaries that made up their adventuring band. And Kiko herself, though she preferred the healing arts, was capable of holding her own.
But they had someone weak among them, and that made stopping too dangerous.
Without warning the caravan lurched to a stop, flinging her companion out of her arms.
She cried out in alarm, reaching for the dagger at her waist and pulling dark hair back past pointed ears.
"What was that?"
