Washing out the guilt...

[swifttail]

Blazzingblood padded through the ferns, to a sandy clearing that edged the river. He had a snake in his jaws, and he placed it down and padded into the shallow part of the river.

It was a warm day, and the sun felt plessant as it hit his blazing pelt. As to the bleek, eery darkness of his territory. Blazzingblood looked down at his paws, the blood, rushing from his pelt, to the water. Mezmerized, he stared blankly at it. He was taken out of it, when a small crustation crawled into view. The gray creature, crawled over his paw, and kept going, heading tward the deeper part of the river.

Blazzingblood's eye followed it as far as they could see, but the water got darker as it got deeper. He took his off the crustation, and noticed that it was getting warm, he should go. But, then, another thought came to mind. Why not go deeper? It would be a great way to cool off. Blazzingblood padded alittle deeper, just up to about his stomah. He took a paw step foward, and slipped on a well hidden rock. He went wirling into the dark river...

The current pulled him down, and as he went wirling bye, he saw the crustation, holding his grip on a rock. Blazzingblood had an idea, but before his plan was put ton use, he hit his head on a rock.

Blazzingblood gasped, as it hurt, and he felt his head pound. He yowled under water, and dug his claws into the river bottom. Blazzingblood's grip held. he clawed sideways, and foward. His head finally emerged above water, and he waded to shore. Blazzingblood layed there for a moment, then sat up. Something was alive in his mouth, and he spit up a mino. "Blec! Eeew, what is that!" Blazzingblood spat.

((...whaaa, poor Blazzingblood hit his head, better head to Dust to get the looked at.)) Sharpclaw watched from the sky uselessly. He could help Blazzingblood at all, he thought about Blazzingblood alot, wondering if he will come to StarClan....He might come soon, but I doubt it, maybe I should test him....

[[he lived! he is ashore, and he has never tasted fish before, and he hates it.]]

Dust the RougeClan medicine cat was out looking for Blazzingblood, she wanted to make sure he was okay after the fight. The light brown tabby sniffed the air her whiskers tingling. Her snow white paws bended the grass under paw. She spotted the tom down by the river, she padded to him slowly her black ringed tail tiwitching, she came up beside him. "Blazzingblood, do you need any thing looked at by me?" she asked as she looked over his flank while she talked, looking for any bad wounds.

[swifttail]

Blazzingblood was soaked from head to toe. He saw Dust pad up, then, before he could say anything, she began to speak, "Blazzingblood, do you need any thing looked at by me?"

Blazzingblood had one eyey closed, and had his paw rubbing his head, "Not unless you have any thing for me bumping my head.." He stoped short as he winced with pain.

[nightflower]

Dust purred, "I could give you some poppy seeds." she said then looked at him, "Why in Hawkfrost's name are you wet?!" she asked puzzled, she starred at the red tom. What was he doing out here?

[swifttail]

The she-cat purred, "I could give you some poppy seeds." she said then looked at him, "Why in Hawkfrost's name are you wet?!"

Blazzingblood tensed up with embaresment, "I, um, I sliped... Any way, what in Dark Forest are poppy seeds?" Blazzingblood quickly changed the subject.

[nightflower]

Dust laughed, "Mind where you put your paws." she said. She stood up, "Poppy seeds are gathered from flower pods, there smaal brown some times black seeds that relive pain, calm cats down, and they help cats fall asleep. One won't make you fall asleep though, come on will get you one or two." she said and started walking away from the river side bank.

[swifttail]

Blazzingblood shook the water from his fur, then followed behind to cetch up. "So what exzactly do you do? I was not cleared on that topic. I mean, why do we need a cat to make scratches to go away any way." Blazingblood was not critisizeing, for once, he was actually curious.

[nightflower]

Dust looked behind her,"Well, lets just but it this way, What would you do if you just get this cut. You don't think any thing of it, I mean it's just a cut, But it starts becoming green and puss start to seep from it, the area sweels then your whole leg sweels, you can't put any weight on it and you can't fight very well, if it's bad enough you start getting a fever and with no one to cool it, it get worse in worse til all you can to every day is lay there in pain, and at some point die of illnees of killed by another cat while your so weak." She said padding on still.

[swifttail]

Dust looked behind her,"Well, lets just but it this way, What would you do if you just get this cut. You don't think any thing of it, I mean it's just a cut, But it starts becoming green and girl thingy, the area sweels then your whole leg sweels, you can't put any weight on it and you can't fight very well, if it's bad enough you start getting a fever and with no one to cool it, it get worse in worse til all you can to every day is lay there in pain, and at some point die of illnees of killed by another cat while your so weak."

Blazzingblood stopped in his tracks. He remembered what had been happening tto him for the past moon. "Dust, do you, do you think if I discribe to you some.... simtoms.... You could have, like a plant that could.... Make it go away?" Blazzingblood asked unezilly.

[nightflower]

"Dust, do you, do you think if I discribe to you some.... simtoms.... You could have, like a plant that could.... Make it go away?" Blazzingblood asked unezilly.

Dust turned around and lifted a brow, "Yes I'm sure I could help, go on, what is it?" She asked turning around and listening to the tom her ears perked.

[swifttail]

Blazzingblood looked down at his paws. Well, it all happened when I started to get dizzy, and that happened for a long time, untill one day, I was talking to a tom named Falcon. I totally colappsed. I was really dizzy, could not stand up on my feet for more than 5 seconds. I had shortness of breath, and coughed up blood."

<<OoC>> It is a genetic disorter from being the captured experement of Twolegs. They wanted him to be a fighting cat... He is luckey he did not get his ears and tail chopped off!

[nightflower]

Dust turned her head and rested her stony golden gaze on the tom cat, "This isn't any normal, wht didn't you come to me right after?" she said, "Things like that can't be ignored!" she yowled. Her tail twitched, "I'll do what I can, I have herbs for those things but not just in one herb, you'll have to eat bitter herbs." she said and went on, "You'll have to come to me when you think it's about to happen every time or get some one to get you to my den right away!" she said, "I can't help if it's passed or if I don't know what I'm dealing with. But I will help you as much as I can. Like right now you need some poppy seeds and some rest." she turned paw and started walking again nearing the camp.

[swifttail]

Blazzingblood's blood turned cold. then he walked foward. "So-so I will be better?" He asked uneszzely.
