Shake it off [Noah]

[Noah]

that's all there is

The stranger rolls onto her stomach and coughs violently, and Noah eases forward again, worried about the sound of the mare’s cough as well as the shadows that chase across her expression. She doesn’t know what Kolera is remembering; has no way of knowing that the other girl is remembering the exact scene that haunts Noah’s dreams. She is not sleepless, because even she must collapse occasionally from exhaustion, but she rarely finds peaceful sleep without reliving the darkest minutes of her life. Only on the rare occasion when she sleeps after a healing – that is when she sleeps undisturbed.


The mare gives her name, Kolera, but expresses the opinion that she is beyond help. It’s not unusual, she has seen, for the victims closest to death to be this hopeless. She is immune now, but she remembers the helplessness of being ill after helping to raise Pangea, and so she can empathize with her patients. She remembers lying, delirious and fevered, while Rhonen worried and fretted – but he did not help her. She’d been confused, then, certain that his fear of unleashing some great evil was unfounded. After all, she had practiced her own power in secret many times a child, and not had anything bad happen. Now Noah knows better – after all, when the mob took her father’s life, there was a great evil. This plague would not have been possible without Rhonen’s death.


“You underestimate me, I think,” she chides gently, and finishes closing the distance between herself and Kolera. She reaches down, runs her soft muzzle down the bay mare’s neck, reaching out with her power even as she offers a hmmm, and speaks again, wanting to engage the other mare in conversation to keep her conscious. “Gotten to know who, better?” It’s an idle question, really, because while she vaguely knows she has a sister, she has no suspicions of who it might be. She’s only half listening anyway, pouring out her energy and concentration towards driving the disease back. She can taste it, see it, feel it; her vision blurs as she expends the energy – Kolera’s case is far advanced, and it’s taking everything she has to fight it.

noah

@[Kolera] Noah should technically be able to heal Kolera completely but of course that's up to you; also I know we're rolling for healing success so I'l tagging another officer in too. :3
@[Officials] Not sure how we're doing these exactly but Noah is using her Disease Manipulation to try and heal Kolera.
