To say Malner was shocked was an understatement. The last time he'd seen Gabe he was in perfect health and walking away sweaty from a Seventy two hour Sword training session. Not this bloody mess of flesh before him now laying on the edge of the cliff. Malner didn't even have time to be bothered by being woken from his meditation to see that ugly black demon vanish in front of him he knew it meant that Gabe was in trouble and was obligated to try and help him. He stood up like a bolt of lightning from his seat when he’d been awoken and found Gabes missing from the Hideaway and a note about leaving for the Demon lands. He wasted no time after that heading outside in a flash where he found His barely living Master soaked in dark red. Using his Channeling to seal Gabe’s wounds and keep him alive he picked the Passed out Gabe up by the waist carrying him like a child, leaking blood into the chamber as they reentered the Cave, he could feel several places on Gabe’s body that were sunk in denoting crushed organs and bones. Colin sat on the Pillow Malner had used for years and had a bell in front of him that was giving a strong Channeling aura. "Colin get up!!!" Malner shouted at the man and the blonde twitched his eyes and grunted. "What is it n..." He saw the Bloody corpse of his Master in the hands of Malner and nearly fainted at the sight of so much Crimson liquid poring out from stubs and shoulders. Channelers produced much more blood than regular humans and their bodies naturally made it in times of Dire need out of pure spirit energy as a fail safe. "For the sake of Hell! How did this Happen!!!" Colin shouted snapping up and rushing to Gabe with his hands outstretched and life energy flowing out of him. The man was on the very edge of death, even his strong channeling ability not able to keep up with the blood loss and missing organs. And Gabe’s mind was in such turmoil that he was actually releasing an aura of confusion, anger, and violence in his Sleep. Colin couldn't grow back limbs, only the most powerful Healers could do that, but he might be able to keep Gabe alive. He began to mend the wounds with as much Life energy as he could channel. "What are you doing!!!" Malner shouted at him. Colin screamed back at him in anger. "I'm healing him! What's wrong!" Malner jerked the body away. "You can't mend his wounds! If you heal them they won't grow back!" Colin cursed loudly and stomped his foot, his emotions running high, if he didn't hurry Gabe and him both could die here and now. "I can't grow Back limbs! And if we leave him bleeding then he'll die!" Malner clenched his teeth. "Just keep the man alive, stop the internal bleeding and restore what organs you can. We will take him to a specialty healer!" Colin felt fear grip his chest there was still danger in that, Gabe would still be on the edge of death the whole way, and if they were out in public the chance of getting discovered by the Day-vine Family would be hanging over their heads. Not to mention That the Healer might turn them in. Healers always sought profit over service. At least in Colin’s experience.

"The Farming city doesn't have a strong enough Life Chaneler to fix all this!!!" Colin shouted. Malner pulled a Teleport scroll out of his Space pouch Gabe had made sure everyone had at least a dozen of these. he opened the scroll keeping Gabe up with his aura power and being very Gentle with the man. "We're not going to the Farming city, the Greenwood family City will have a strong enough Healer." Colin tried to say that going back would be like calling the Day-vine Family to them, but before he could even speak he was picked up off the Ground against his will and flown through the opened Portal. The portal put them at the gate of the familiar city and Malner flew them through the gate at super speed their information was Scanned by the Gate runes But Malner held hope that the Greenwood family would be honorable about this and not divulge their location. It was a bit more trust then anyone should ever put in a Family that wasn’t their own but his short time with those nice people had convinced him they were all too kind to betray him. What he did not know was that the Greenwood family had already proclaimed that they would help the Day-vine family search for Gabe. And What the Day-vine family did not know was that all of the Greenwood city Gates were set to not even log any information about Gabe or his group, to the Gate runes Gabe’s party was a ghost. As if the runes had not even activated at all. This would allow the Greenwood family plausible deniability, as none of the higher ups wanted to actually waste their time searching for some misfortune prone kid who had only been stopping a crime and was now doomed to hide his whole life.

flying over the buildings and people with his soul sense turned way up Malner Searched the buildings for miles using the Ability of his Soul-Beast called third sight. It allowed him to see the Element and power of every channeler for much further distance then a regular Channeler of his Power level, it worked better with his beast summoned and he was preparing to bring Sann out when he spotted the powerful Healer. The woman was a Level below Malner in the Totem realm, and a strong Life element Channeler. The only reason for such a capable Life channeler to be on the Chaos continent where she couldn’t cultivate was money. so it was certain she specialized in healing. The small group of blood covered travelers was at her mansion's door step in a split second. Colin keeping Gabe's blood inside his body and not paying attention to the shear speed and height they had just traveled at. Instead of waiting at the door Malner used a single punch to break them in and wood splinters flew in all directions. "Healer!!!" He shouted as he flew into the large front hall. This women would forgive him when she received the price He was willing to pay. At least he hoped she would. Malner had grown close to his new master over the last few years, both him and Colin were like little brothers to him. He knew it was because they were his only real human contact in so long, but the three joked and laughed and poked at each other and his longing for that after so many millennia was the driving force of his relationship. He could have just had Colin heal Gabe at the cave, it would have been easier and safer and he still would have been within his spirit contract and under Sisfar's orders to keep him alive, but he refused to let his brother live like a cripple not even if it cost every coin in the Treasury. Healing a limb was very tricky business on Primeway. And after the wound that took the limb was healed, almost no’one could bring it back. Though there were a few legendary figures who could do it. None of them shared their secrets however, and they were just too powerful to approach.

The women healer appeared before them in an instant with an angry and vicious glare in her eyes. She saw Gabe and only looked disgusted. "Healer, we need your services." She squinted at him, he was stronger then her but he wouldn't dare attack a healer in her own home, the Family as struggling as it was wouldn't stand for it. And these people weren't even Greenwood. She only healed Greenwoods. "Whatever you expect from me your not getting! Look what you did to my house! Go before I get mad." Colin almost shouted at the lady but Malner started first. "You will heal him, and grow back all the limbs he lost. We will pay you handsomely." She only snarled. "For all I know your from the League, or the Golden-Chaos family, or even the Wooden-Thunder family. I wouldn't heal one of them for a million Gold Rings. You have a healer let him fix the man." She turned to leave but Malner reached out his force of aura and held her still. "This will be seen as an attack by the city! You'll die for this!" She shouted. Malner spoke in a scary and forceful voice that sent chills down the back of both the women and Colin. His deep inner insanity usually hidden so well and faded now surfacing in his eyes. "You will heal him, you will heal him well. Every toe and finger will be righted, or I will Start with your feet and end with your face and when I'm done you'll look worse then him. I will pay you a million Gold rings for your work, and a hundred thousand for the door. But only Because Gabe would not want me to touch a member of the Greenwood family, now do you understand me." He released the women from his aura and she turned aback toward him with a mixture of both fear and greed on her face. She had only been exaggerating earlier, she would heal anyone for a million Gold rings. But the only reason believed he would pay her was because his threat had been enough without the offer. The aura he gave off, the force he used it was as though a War god was standing there. Even though he was just one level above her, she felt like there was a full realm between them. And healers were not bred for battle so she took the threat very serous. She flew forward and grabbed the mess of a man out of Malner's arms. "It will take me a week to put this puzzle back together, I want the payment by tomorrow or I'll call the authorities." In a trail of light she was gone, wanting to be away from the powerful man and putting Gabe on a healing bed upstairs. The healing bed had powerful healing runes that would keep most greavesly wounded beings breathing even without lungs in their chests. Then she began a healing session using strong and complicated healing techniques. She would spend a few hours a day on him, as long as the payment came. A million gold rings… what a nice little fortune.
