The purple doe knew she had been slacking in her responsibility, but raising two boys was hard work! She always seemed to be tired and flustered. The girl had been resting by the oasis left leg cocked, lip drooping she snoozed. A sudden call ripped away the black veil of sleep. Gold feathered legs struck out at the yellow sand before her brain was even fully awake. The voice had been panicked a foal or mare maybe. Fear filled her own chest as she raced for the caller. What had happened now, was there another giant bird attack? Pink nostrils flared and the whites of her steel blue orbs showed brilliantly as her draft built body flew oddly fast through the desert home. Her body may have it's limits on speed, but adrenaline was a crazy thing!

Her heart was pounding as her leader, his son, Meg, Sikeax, and a very tiny foal came into view. Sweat poured in rivers off her amethyst hide as she assess the situation. Rhoa was in Sikeax's perfectly capable hands, which meant she would tend to the others needs. Rushing passed them, slower now but still at a speeding trot, she halted before Gaucho. Dipping her head briefly she looked at them all slowly. Gaucho, then Meg, and finally the tiny black and white foal. Even though the healer was panting heavily, her voice was soft and warm, "Come dear, you must eat." She smiled softly down at the girl then back at Megera, "I'm sure she is hungry."

As steely eyes turned to look over the filly, causing her brows to snap together. Carefully she stepped closer her head bowed a soft smile upon her face. Something was wrong, the filly was holding her wing oddly. "Easy now babe, my flames will not hurt you, but heal your wing." Taking a deep breath she focused on her heat, on the sun, on fire. Slowly flames licked out and away towards the girl trying to wrap her in a warm embrace. If she was still the flames would slowly slide over her fragile body healing and mending.

After a few moments she gasped feeling completely drained of all energy, but joyous. She had done her job as a healer, now she needed to be a mother to this poor babe. "She should be better now." Gentle lips turned up as her head sagged before carefully reaching out towards the black and silver girl. Trying to heard a scared foal would not be an easy task, but she needed to eat. Hoping the baby was now nursing, Alija reached into one of her shoulder bags; carefully pulling out a few Borage leaves. Chewing slowly the mare had to force the food down. Sweat was already drying into a hard crust over her tender hide, but she did not care. If she could help save this young poor life; she would gladly be exhausted.
