ShadeCatcher

Suddenly, you hear creaking. Blinking awake, you are startled when MoonShade shoves you forward. "Run!" He shouts, and he turns to slip his armour on. As the creaking grows, you finally realize the stalks of bamboo you were just under were falling. With a shout, you turn to run, but a shadow falls over you and you know you won't make it in time. You close your eyes, waiting for the bamboo to hit you, and a loud crash echoes in your ear as you skid to a stop. When you finally realize you barely feel any pain, you turn your head to see MoonShade above you, his golden eyes shut tight. One opens to gaze at you. "Are you al-lright?" You nod until a hiss escapes you and he stutters out, "S-Sorry. I wasn't able to protect your tail in time...." You gaze around him to see that your tail was, indeed, under a large chunk of bamboo.

A groan escapes the Imperial as he slowly pushes upward and roars as he launches multiple stalks off his back. Finally able to see clearly, you notice his armour was on again, and it was slightly cracked now. "Haven't had that many fall in a while..." He shouts for nearby dragon to come help remove the rest off your tail and blockade the area to make sure no one gets hurt. Multiple dragons make their way over. One of them is an Obsidian Vipera pearl catcher covered in brown feathered skulls and chimes. You could already guess what she did for the clan. She carefully helps you up and begins to lead you away, steadying your tail with her own. "Are you hurt anywhere else?" She ask and you shake your head. "Alright. I'm taking you to my station. Darn stalks of bamboo are starting to fall to make room of the new stalks." You tilt your head. "It's just one of the many issue's of this place." That's when you noticed her eyes are blue and you finally understand. She turns to nod and MoonShade, and he lowers his head in respect before helping the others move the bamboo to a safer location. You ask about his wounds. "He will be in once he's finished. That hard headed bloke never comes in until the job is done."

Once you get there, you notice her station has a large cover of silk above a large gap in the side of a hill that lead into a rather nice looking hospital. Beds of soft grass, moss and feathers were spread out along the edge of the cool rock. She leads you to one at the end of the room, close to where bamboo created a counter top that cut off anyone from going behind without entering through the small door on the side. She lays you down and disappears behind the door and counter. You inspect the really comfortable place before your eyes fall on a sign near the entrance. It reads 'Shadecatcher, Clan Medic'. You nod as she comes back out with wraps and a few large bamboo stalks. "Well, while we walked, I felt a bone out of alignment in your tail. This will hurt, but I have to pop it back into place, alright." You nod and close your eyes. "On three... one.... two..." You feel a large amount of pain and shout at the pop. Gazing back, you see the pearl catcher, pearl wrapped in her tail, already wrapping your tail and keeping it straight with the bamboo. "This should help it heal further." She says, then hands you some seeds and water. "Take those. They will help you sleep and numb the pain. I have to go and check on the others to see if anyone else got hit. You just need to rest now." Nodding, you swallow the seeds and gulp down the water, just realizing the glass was made out of ice and had also been gulped down. You feel your eye lids grow heavy and you lay your head down and fall asleep.
