Suddenly, Kal raced up to the otters. "They're gone! We must have put up enough of a fight that they left!" He said, his eyes roving the scene. Noticing Emmet, he said "Emmet! You've been shot!"

Emmet shook his head and gestured weakly towards Ronan and Elthia, "E's the one needs care. I can wait. I got all the time in the world." He slid down the tree into a heap on the ground.
Elthia looked up but her paws were busy, covered in Ronan's blood and working to save him. "Emmet?!" She cried. "Somebeast help Em!"
Sardra, the Otter Fixer, had reached them now and went over to the middle brother. "Ye gonna let one little arrer cut ye down Emmet." She turned him around and looked at the wound. It wouldn't have been bad at all if not for the poison. "Oh lad," she said sadly but she kept her voice down so Elthia didn't hear. "I think you're beyond even my help.
Emmet nodded knowingly. "Don' worry, Thia, 'bout me though. She's got enough. . ." He swallowed, smiled and then gave a weak cough.
Elliot and Edwin came up from their battle then and echoed with Kal had told them, "Vermin 'ave been put to flight." Then seeing the two healers working they crouch down beside their brother. "What 'appened 'ere, mate?"

((Do you want him to die or do you want somebody to know a remedy for the poison?))

((Okay)) Kal stood with his head bowed, even though he knew there would be casualties, he was still sorrowed when they occured. Especially as he was the brother of the wife to be. Anxiously, he looked at Ronan. "Is he going to be all right, miss?"

"He's fine," she sighed with relief, "He's going to be just fine." She was just bandaging the last of Ronan's wounds. "He's lost a lot of blood but with some rest he'll be just fine." She was still oblivious to the fact that her brother had more than the single arrow wound Sardra had mentioned.
Emmet smiled glad to hear that Ronan would live. He knew he didn't have long and thought that now it would be okay to pull his sister away to say goodbye. "Thia," he gasped.

Ronan stirred lightly and opened his eyes weakly. At first, everything looked blurry to him and he paniced slightly, but he calmed once everything came into focus.

Elthia looked up when her brother spoke her name and then looked back down at Ronan who she saw was beginning to stir. She had tears in her eyes and she let them flow now that he was out of danger. "Welcome back, love." She whispered. She touched his cheek with her paw and kissed his forehead. "I've got to see to Emmet. He's asking for me. I'll be back before you know it."

Ronan nodded understandingly and nuzzled her paw. Tell 'im I says thanks. He saved my life. He closed his eyes and rested himself for a bit while his fiancee` talked with her brother.

Elthia smiled at him and then rose to go to her brother's side. "So what's this all about stream walloper?" she teased. "Got a splinter for me to take out like I did when we were kitts?"
Emmet smiled weakly at her and chuckled, "I'm afraid this one's a bit more serious then that." He coughed.
Elthia knew the truth of his words. She dropped her head onto his shoulder and cried. "Don't go, Em."
Elliot and Edwin were both lost for words but they knew that their whole family needed to be together in these their brother's last moments. They nudged each other and went to find their mother and father.

Ronan watched silently as Estella walked over and sat next to Emmet, holding him close and crying silently into his fur. Tears fell from Ronan's eyes as well when he realized what was happening.

Kal also cried, silently. He had only known the otter for a short amount of time, but he had been very brave, and had saved Ronan's life when he could not.

As the family gathered around and began to say their goodbyes, Sardra stepped out of the way. She checked the work that Elthia had done on Ronan's bandages and glanced at the squirrel to see if he was well. She didn't normally treat anybeast but otters but he had helped them to ward off the vermin so she would make an exception if he was in need of care.
The father of the little clan stood back stoically. He was the rock that held them all together but his manner could sometimes be seen by others as cold and unfeeling. The truth was his heart was breaking as he watched his wife and daughter bent over his middle son.
Elthia kissed her brother's cheek and whispered. "You saved Ronan. Thank you."
Emmet chuckled again and coughed, "E makes you happy. I 'aven't seen you that 'appy since ol' Sardra agreed to take you on as 'er novice. E's a good fighter, saved a 'ole lot o' lives out there tonight. You two take care o' each other. An' . . . " he started to laugh but broke into coughing again. He winked at her before speaking again, "Name one o' yur kitts after me." He was fading fast now but he smiled up at his mother.

Kal blinked as blood ran down into his eye. He'd been hit on the head while covering Emmet's retreat. He sat down, pulling a cloth out of his pocket and started wiping the blood off of his head. It wasn't a deep wound, but it bled fiercely.

"Let me to that, Squirrel," Sardra batted his paw away from his head wound and began to stanch the blood herself. She cleaned it carefully and bandaged it. She felt out of place with Emmet's family saying their goodbyes and nothing that she could do to help them.
