[Log] In my time of dying...

Who: Kara and Aries Kiran
Verse: PSL - BBC Merlin + Saint Seiya
What: Kara found herself in another land, one that was not certainly Camelot. Little does she know she ended up in another era too.
Warnings: Nope!




She was having trouble breathing. Gasping for air had become a task for her. There was no rope tied around her neck anymore so her condition was not linked with it.

It was cold, surrounded by snow everywhere and a dense fog hiding a possible trail to get out, albeit she could tell it was a mountainous place for as her feet felt the rock. Kara brought her palms to her face, slight tears that expressed her sadness with her body curled in despair.

What a way to suffer another death(?) of which effects were similar to the previous one.

It wasn't every day that Saints came to visit Jamir, and they only did so when they knew that Kiran was there and that Cloth repairs (and sometimes even healing) were immediately needed. Otherwise, Kiran was content working in the Aries temple back in Sanctuary.

Even far less was any reason for a non-Saint to appear within the environs of Jamir. The person's presence was weaker than that of a Saint and he can sense it wavering. Whether or not they came here intentionally or was sent here, he knew, at the least, that he must try to help.

He appeared by the figure's side, a warm wool-lined cloak in hand. He quickly wrapped it about their shoulders, and with only a murmur of, "I'll take care of you. Hang in there." he flicks them both out of the snow, and back into the Jamir tower.

The next thing that the young lady will feel is the gradually seeping warmth, the absence of harsh mountain winds, and the softness of a mattress underneath her. She will feel hands checking for her temperature on her forehead, neck and wrist. "Miss? Hey, miss, are you alright? Can you hear me?"

Kiran's observations weren't for nothing: he did notice the marks on her neck, and he had been exposed to enough study on the kinds of damages the human body can take to figure where they could have come from. What he also observed were her clothes -- not only were they unfit for the harsh weather of the mountains, but he could not place where she could have come from...

He set aside his ponderings for the time-being to focus on her instead. He was relieved that at the least, she was conscious and lucid. "My name's Kiran. And you're in the Tower of Jamir, in the Himalayas."

He didn't mind her questions in the least. The more they spoke, the better, to keep her aware and awake. He was calm and yet alert to what his 'guest' might be needing. "How are you feeling? Are you thirsty?"

There was a brief raise of his brows. "Well... can't say I'm surprised. This place isn't exactly a tourist trap."

Kiran fixed the covers about her. If she was the type to feel spiritual presences or power, then quite a lot of it was swirling quietly in around the tower -- quiet, subtle, but potent. It was otherwise inoffensive, but more warm and even welcoming.

"I'll get you something warm to drink, then you can rest." Before he turned to head down however -- "Are you hurt anywhere, by the way?"

That answered several questions in his mind. "I guess it'll be hard to take anything or rest with your neck in pain like that."

Kiran then took to kneeling beside the mattress, and politely refrained from commenting over the emotions that surfaced on the young lady's face. "You have marks, right here --" he took to pointing with his fingers on his own neck. "I'm a healer and I can fix that for you, if you don't mind."

He knew, at least, that he had to try to help. He can tell what those marks meant and thought that she was at least lucky to have come out alive after that kind of ordeal.

"Aa-- don't move so much-- !" Kiran would helpfully assist her in getting up. The last thing he needed -- the last thing she needed -- was a stiff neck on top of those bruises and abrasions.

He returned her gaze, and gave her a reassuring smile. "I won't hurt anymore, I promise. Just relax and stay still, okay?" With one hand on her back, Kiran raised his hand by her neck -- not touching, just hovering -- which shortly started to glow with a soft golden light.

Gradually, she should feel a pleasant kind of warmth seep through her skin, concentrated by her neck and yet spreading an overall sensation of comfort through her body as the power pries away at the sources of discomfort and pain -- even her leg might even feel a whole lot better.

As Kiran finished up and the light started to fade, he asked, "What's your name?"

As Kiran judged that the lady would be able to be more comfortable, and hopefully well away from harm, he drew back and settled his hands on his lap.

"It's good to meet you, Kara -- circumstances aside, that is." And despite said circumstances, he managed to maintain a friendly smile -- which eventually turned amused with her question. 'Sorcerer', huh~

He shook his head. "No-- I'm a Saint of Athena." He then gave her a questioning look. "Why a 'sorcerer' though?" -- and not a 'magician' or 'those weirdos with ESP and stuff'.

ahaha~ '''orz not sure if Kiran even wants to go there yet.

It brought him relief to see that Kara was looking a bit more at ease.

Organizing his thoughts, he figured he should answer her questions first -- Albion wasn't a place he has heard of, and as far as the knowledge he was privy to was concerned, Sanctuary and Asgard held even the most arcane of knowledge. 'Albion' rings a bell, however -- he might have heard a word that sounds like it, or probably read it in the old, old archives...

"Well-- Athena's a goddess. She's one for wisdom, craft and heroic endeavor. So we're people trained to carry out what she stands for and..." He gave a sheepish bit of smile, "save the world in the process."

Suddenly, Kiran remembered what he had meant to do-- "Aa! I said I'll be getting you something. Just-- make yourself comfy, okay? Stay here, I'll be right back!" Without further ado, Kiran headed down in the kitchens -- that is, he disappeared like a ghost from the room. While he might not be seen, his presence could still be felt from nearby. Shortly, he will appear again, tray of hot tea, bowl of soup and flat bread. "I don't know if you're hungry..."
not_a_lamb_nor_ram: (what is...?)

Kiran settled the breakfast-in-bed tray on Kara's lap, and took to pouring tea. "Help yourself!"

He then took to folding his legs under him, settling himself beside the bed. He looked a little surprised over the remark, then puzzled. "Athena has a big heart, and she loves everyone. It pleases her when people can do things to the best of their abilities."

He rubs at the back of his head. "I think it's just normal to help out, but --" but there was something about what she said. "Why would you be treated otherwise?" Because as far as he could see, Kara wasn't an evil person.

Kara getting her nourishment was good, Kiran thought. He did little to disturb her as she regained her strength, though he shifted his position to keep himself comfortable, taking on a casual lotus position on the floor on top of a cushion.

"A druid, is it?" Kiran turned an observant gaze at Kara's tattoo, but made no move to touch her. It was not in his field of study, but he knew he has heard of the kinds of powerful people around the world -- priests, priestesses, monks, oracles, and of course, druids.

He then looks to her face, her eyes. "Why would anyone do that? It's not like druids are known to do evil magic. I mean, I haven't met druids -- you'd be the first -- but what I know about them is that they commune with nature, mostly trees, right?"

As Kiran parsed Kara's story, the hand over his gave him pause in his thoughts. He didn't pull away however -- he didn't mind his hand being held, but it was more over hearing a familiar name; a name relegated to legends, a name that only existed in books.

For a long moment, Kiran studied Kara's face -- looking for traces of a farce, of insincerity. But truly, what would a girl about to die have anything to gain by telling him tall tales? He hadn't even asked where she was from and yet her story said more than a formal account can.

"I-- I don't think I have to worry about that." How to say? How to tell this girl that she might just be far away from her home -- from her own time, even? "It's been a long time since any king has been called Arthur."

[personal profile] not_a_lamb_nor_ram 2013-03-05 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Kiran shook his head, taking Kara's questions one at a time. He first looks to her face, then to her hand. "I don't know why you're here, or as to how you've come here. But, from what I know, King Arthur-- it's been more than a thousand years since Arthur was king. The world-- a whole lot has changed, since then."

The words sounded simple to him, but he can feel the weight of what they mean behind them. He hated to be the bearer of what may upset another person, but he would rather be honest and tell the truth.
not_a_lamb_nor_ram: (pensive)

[personal profile] not_a_lamb_nor_ram 2013-06-04 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
Kiran pulled his hands away, so as Kara can eat properly. She wasn't asking any questions, nor has she said anything about what he just said. He supposed she was just taking the news in -- it really wasn't something to be taken lightly. She might have had people she cared about -- family, friends, lovers -- who can no longer be with her.

"I'll leave you for a moment, if you wish." He both understood the need for privacy, or in the other hand, the need for company, in the face of upsetting news, which is why he left her with the choice. He moved to stand from his sitting position. "I'll just head downstairs. Call for me if you need me."
not_a_lamb_nor_ram: (uncomfortable)

[personal profile] not_a_lamb_nor_ram 2013-06-20 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Kiran, at the least, did not leave in a hurry.

"You can simply call or--" it was a stranger method for those not accustomed to it. "think of me."

Saying that out loud made his face color a bit, and he felt bad, seeing how Kara's face turned for the sad. He rubbed mildly at the back of his head. "Well-- I can stay too, if you like! I just thought you might need some time on your own, sorting these thoughts out. What I told you isn't good news, after all. To be honest, I'd rather stay and watch over you, but that's not for me to say because you're my guest."

Kiran managed a smile, and he sat right back down on his spot beside the bed.

"As my guest wishes." Said with a degree of levity. "To be honest, it gets too quiet here sometimes, so, well, circumstances aside, I'm glad to have someone over."

He gave her a quick lookover. "How are you feeling?"

At the observation, Kiran's expression took on that of pensiveness. Sure, he did crave the company of others but --

"I do, sometimes. Well, I go down to the villages at the foot of the mountain for provisions. Then I go to Athena's Sanctuary where I do most of my work. It's nice to have peace and quiet, but it gets too quiet too, you know?"

He then smiled a little mischievously.

"This place isn't meant to be found by those not of Athena's Sanctuary, after all. It's a sanctuary in itself for study, work, and healing, and in times of war, a fortress."

Then a bit of sheepish chuckling.

"I'm not wearing you out with all my talking, am I?"
not_a_lamb_nor_ram: (well~)

Laughter was good. It was a good sign as any that one wasn't hurting too much anymore. Kiran chuckled softly, just pleased at Kara smiling.

At her remark though, his expression shifted to that of curiousness, studying her face, gauging what those words meant. "Ah-- you wish to stay here?"

He then looked pensive, crossing an arm over his chest to prop his other arm against it, curling a finger under his chin, thinking out loud. "Well... I can't send you away just like that; I'm not too sure how you'd fare in the mountain villages; Rodorio though..."

Then realizing what he might be communicating, Kiran backpedaled. "Aa--! Not that I don't want you around, it's just that Jamir isn't the friendliest of places! It's always cold, the air's dry and thin and I don't know if you'd like that in the long run..."

The least Kiran can say is that he tried.

To Kiran's credit, he was perceptive -- not because of his expansive senses, but he had to be, specially around his former Master who was good at hiding his feelings. He had to look after him too.

He looked apologetic, briefly looking to the side and down. He nodded. "Mm. I can do that."

He then tried to be hopeful. "There's a benefit to staying in Rodorio -- it's under the care of Sanctuary. It'll be like you're under Athena's care too.I work there, too! So, I'll get to see you often! And if there's anyone who can do most anything for you, it's Athena."

Kiran hadn't mentioned it, but he did note that Kara had called out to a certain 'Mordred'. He wanted to ask, but he felt like he should wait. They just met, after all.
