He glanced at Jane. "If he attacks any of us again I will not order you to stop." Ben said to Drake but it was really a threat to Cailen.

Clara came back flushed and breathing hard, she had tried to hurry but she it was hard for her to find the right herbs. She kneeled down next to Maria and gently layed the small leaves on the burns, "These should sooth the burning, but it will still blister and scab." She said.

 

Drake continued to lean against the tree an watched Clara take care of Maria. " it looks like she might be useful after all with her medical knowledge" Drake said

 

"Just try to lay still, and when the blisters start to hurt tell me okay?" Clara said with a kind smile, then slowly made her way over to a tree and sat down with a sigh. She was tired, it had been a really really long night.

"Though you could start a fire for us." Ben said to Cailen as he sat down leaning against a tree not to far from Annabel.

Jane waited for Ben to sit down before she sat down next to him, leaning against the same large tree.

 

Drake unfolded his arms and looked at everybody "I'm heading off to got train. If nobody trusts me then your welcome to join" Drake said and he prepared to head out into the woods

 

Ben looked up at Drake then looked over at Clara. "You go with him." He was going to send Jane but she looked tired, and so did Clara but he really didn't care that she was tired.

Even though Ben was higher up than her it was hard for her not to say something, he was being a real jerk, especially to Clara. "Um...she looks tired Ben."

"N..no it's ok, I'll go. Someone call if Maria needs me ok?" She said standing up and following Drake.

 

Drake continued to walk a far distance and then stopped when he found a good spot. He soon noticed Clara "they sent you?" drake said and looked at her "you look tired" Drake said

 

Clara just smiled, "Oh no, I'm ok....so do you train a lot?" She asked.

 

Drake nodded "yeah everyday" Drake said as pointed to a tree "go sit there and relax. I will try and be quick" Drake said kindly as he drew his sword.

 

"Ok...but take your time, really, I'd like to watch." Clara said as she sat against the tree.

 

Drake nodded and drew his huge sword and began swinging it around and trained with it as if attacking an opponent. He swung the sword easily and showed great skill. It was pretty remarkible for him to swing his heavy sword so easily

 

Clara sat under the tree with her knees pulled up to her chin and stared in amazement, she couldn't believe his swordsmanship. The sword itself probably weighed more than she did and he swung it like it was a twig he'd just picked up off the ground. As she watched her eyes started to get droopy, and it got harder and harder for her to keep her eyes open but she was determined to keep watching.

 

Drake continued to train but suddenly dropped his sword and held his right arm in pain. Drake began to cring in pain as he held his arm and soon let go. His right arm looked dead as it didn't even move. Drake slowly began to try to pick up the sword with his left arm

 

As soon as he started to cringe in pain she snapped awake. Quickly she stood up and hurried over to him. "What happened!? Are you ok? Did you break it!?" She said clinging to his left sleeve worried.

 

"It alright it's just my imperfection. All derma are born with an imperfection. Great power comes with a price. At random times one of my body parts goes limp and cannot be moved. Don't worry my arm with return back to normal shortly" Drake said

 

"Ah...really? I didn't know that about Dermas. It must be hard. Especially when you don't know when it's going to hit you. Does it hurt a lot?" She asked, this time much quieter.

 

"not that much. I have gotten used to it so it doesn't really trouble me" drake said. He then sheathed his sword with his working arm. He could have continued training but didn't want to trouble Clara

 

"To be honest, by the way you cringed it looked like you were in pain.........is..is there a way to get rid of the imperfection?" She asked.

 

"no at least I don't think so" Drake said looking down at his right arm which was slowly starting to move "the recovery time is random also" Drake said

 

Clara sighed in relief when he started to move his arm. "Are you sure it doesn't hurt too much? I could try to find something to soothe it." She said.

 

Drake shook his head "it's fine. You have done a lot for today so rest" Drake said
