Victor walked through the forest along the path he remembered taking to Meg's home. After running off on his own for a while and meeting with Jamie and Pitch, he felt better about things and wanted to keep his promise to Meg. He was currently in his skeleton form as he walked silently between the trees, a light fog shrouding his shape and making him appear spectral as he walked along. The moon shown down on him and he continued to look up at it. He suddenly came to a fork in the path and paused with his bony fingers to his face. Which way to go? He couldn't quite remember.

Megara was running in the shadows hold a limp arm from a crowd and ran into a bony body. "Why on earth did yous top in the middle of the dang road idio..." she said looking up "V-victor?" she whispered her eyes wide. You heard the screaming of the mob as she stood up panicked. "Victor we need to get out of here now!" she said when a familiar presence appeared behind her.
"Meg whats going on I had one of your hounds in my office..." Thrax stated adjusting his shades. Megara hyperventilated "The villagers found the bounty Princey boy put on my head" she said as Thrax snarled then looked to the skeletal being next to her "You get her to somewhere safe i'll deal with the villagers bout time i took care of this anyways..." he spoke darkly as his claw light up and his aura becoming semi overbearing as he stalked toward the noise.

Victor felt someone run into him and looked down in surprise to see that it was Meg. Her arm appeared to be hurt and the sound of angry voices filled the air close by.
"Meg? What..?"
Victor didn't have time to ask further questions when another figure appeared. Dressed in black with red skin and long claws at the ends of his hands, he radiated power.
When he spoke to Victor and told him to find a safe place for Meg, Victor stared at him blankly for a moment before gently taking Meg and leading her quickly from the area. Even if he didn't know the stranger, he could tell Meg was in danger. The fog helped to conceal them as Victor found coverage in the shadow of a large hill.
"Meg, what's going on? What happened?"
Victor turned his skeleton gaze towards her injured arm.
"Are you injured? Let me see your arm."

"The Villagers found out the Prince John Rolfe...placed a bounty on my head for my supposed crimes...they wanted to cash in on it...I don't like hurting people unless nessecary Victor. As far as my arm is concerned its broken in about two places. It's going to take a while to heal but I had to break it other wise i would have died. They had the stake and axe all ready..." she said softly catching her breath however the look of terror never left her eyes.
Thrax followed Megara's shadows until he found them. "Megara I have taken care of the problem they are severely chastised they are lucky I didn't kill them all." he snarled as Megara chuckled.
"Victor this is my ruler and friend Thrax, Thrax this is Victor he's a friend" she said not revealing anything other then that as her Victor's conversation were her own secret.
"Pleasure to meet you Victor sadly I must leave...my ahem...wife awaits... Megara do try and stay outta trouble for a couple days..and Victor i ask politely to make sure she stays safe for that length of time I don't trust those men to not try anything once I leave" he said before melting away.

Victor listened to Meg's story in silence, but the frown on his face continued to grow deeper until she had finished her story. The Prince John had placed a bounty on her head? Why would the ruler have done that? Victor didn;t even have to ask this question though as the man, or was he a demon, from before appeared again. He spoke quickly to Meg before demanding that Victor keep an eye on Meg. Victor only stood quietly by, having now realized the man was Thrax, the leader of the Land of Shadows. Once he had disappeared, Victor turned back towards Meg, trying to absorb this new information.
"When we last met......I didn't realize that the one you said you worked for was Thrax."
Victor wasn't trying to be judgemental but the news had shocked him to his boney core. Giving his head a slight shake, Victor went over to where Meg was.
"Can I see your arm? I should be able to tell how bad the breaks are."

Megara sighed softly and tried to lift the arm for him to look at before biting back a scream of pain. Her lip bleeding lightly as she looked at him "I didn't know how you would react I didn't want our meeting to be based on presumptions you know?" she said softly as her eyes shifted to red "I apologize if he seemed a bit rude Thrax only had to this one other time in his life and i doesn't like exerting his total control over the Land of Shadows he like to let people have some free will to do what they like." she said looking at him pondering a bit "I missed you though Victor haven't had anyone to talk to for awhile."

Victor shot a quick looked up at Meg's face before looking back down at her arm. She was obviously in a lot of pain. Victor was extremely careful as he took her arm in his hands and looked at the breaks closely. One closer to the elbow appeared to be a fracture. The other, however, was much worse. It was lower on the arm and was a complete break. The bones had been so savagely broken that it was nearly a compound fracture.
"I only wish our second meeting could have been under better circumstances."
Victor said as he gently laid Meg's arm down.
"You have two breaks, one fracture and one complete break. I can mend them, but we need to find a better place. Do you have any medicines or herbs at your home?"

"y-yes I do I'd have to put up the wards though to make my home unseeable" she said with a grimace. She looked at him and nodded her agreement "I had hoped I could invite you to tea again on more nicer circumstances but sadly it seems the fates are against us..." she said softly. "How have you been?" she asked softly hoping not to remind him of the tragic night he had the first time he was here.

"I'm fine, but I'm more concerned about you, Meg."
Victor knelt down in front of her and could see the pain in her eyes.
"We can always have tea later, but lets get you home and your arm taken care of first, ok?"
Victor stood up again and as gently as he could, picked Meg up in his arms.
"You don't need to walk anymore. Just tell me where to go and I'll get us there."

"at the fork in the road take a left and keep going if you feel creeped out you are going the right way Victor i make my wards freak people out before they get close..." she said softly looking tired as she leaned her head head on his chest while he took her to her home. She was honestly struggling to stay awake she knew she had to but her eye lids felt so heavy. "V-Victor i feel so...tired..." she whispered softly to where he'd barely be able to hear.

Victor immediately began to follow Meg's directions, taking long strides at a quick pace but trying to avoid jolting Meg in any way. He reached the fork in the road and went left. Victor could sense how tired Meg was and when she spoke, it sounded as if she were close to passing out.
"Hey, Meg, you need to stay awake just a little longer, ok?"
Meg might have been going into shock from her injuries and if she fell asleep, there was a possibility that she might not wake up. Suddenly, he felt a chill run up his spine and knew he must be close to her home. He found it a moment later, ignoring the wards around it and pushing through them. In his need to help Meg, his powers had become extremely focused. He pushed through the front door and placed Meg on her bed.
"Ok Meg, now don't fall asleep just yet..... Tell me what you've been doing since we last met."
Victor said this as he began to rummage through the house, searching for the things he needed to make a pain killing solution and to set Meg's arm.

"Well.... I hid that book for next time you come if you did..." she said softly. Megara did hide it as to prevent thieves knowing how important it was for Victor's history. ""Then I was working for Thrax getting rations together for the troops and kicking their butts in physical training boring stuff mostly..." she said softly fighting to stay awake while watching him run around her home.

"I imagine you must be a pretty tough trainer. You're soldiers are in good hands."
Victor had now collected a number of items onto a table. He was mixing a quick herbal remedy in a small bowl, adding ingredients and pouring in liquids. Soon, he had a dark liquid in the bowl. It smelled strongly of the earth and alcohol. He took the bowl to Meg and held it out to her.
"Here, I know it doesn't look too appetizing, but this will ease the pain and reduce the swelling. Once it's taken effect, I can start setting the bones in your arm."
Victor helped Meg up into a sitting position and held the bowl close to her mouth.

Megara laughed at Victor's statement as she drank "I've had worse my friend much worse don't feel bad..." she said softly leaning into his arms panting softly. Megara was serious about having worse there is some things that no one should ever experience ever. Especially in the idea of army rations whoever thought them up needed to be shot in her opinion. "So Victor I am glad you wanted to visit though..." she said softly her voice starting to sound hoarse.

Victor looked up from where he was preparing the splits and bone setting agent for Meg's arm.
"I said I would come back to see you once I felt ready. I will always try to keep the promises I make."
Victor took the splits and setting agent over to Meg's bedside.
"How does your arm feel? Is there still pain?"
Victor needed to make sure that his concoction had stopped the pain before he tried to reset the bones in her arm.
"Even with the painkiller in your system, it will still hurt. Do you think you can handle it?"
