"Back t'gether." (Thorns of Steel TP...Scioto and Blisa are together again!!! I guess you could call this part of the epilog.)

The Ferravale infirmary

Scioto is sleeping in one of the empty cots, having done a little too much, or least more than he should have, the past couple days and has fallen asleep here. He has yet to really sleep in his own home which is basicly fixed up now.

Blisa is also sleeping here, her left arm in a new splint, a bandage around her chest and waist to try and protect her 5 broken ribs, and her fractured tail in a bandage, aswell. She is curled up in a ball, and her ears are twitching, her face scrunched up in fear, almost.

Scioto opens his good eye and yawns, he looks over where Blisa is.

Blisa whimpers and flips over, her dream turning into a nightmare. Tears start to leak out of her eyes as she begins to shake, waving her good paw in front of her face. "Daddy!" she whispers.

Scioto gets up from where he is laying down and walks over to Blisa, he gently picks her up and goes to carefully hold her, his own shoulder is bandaged up but he seems to not be too worried about it, he speaks softly, "Blisa...sweet Blisa it's ok, daddy is here."

Blisa whimpers again as Scioto picks her up, then screeches, her eyes flashing open. "Daddy! NO!" She looks wildly around, then, realizing where she is, she buries her face in her father's shoulder and sobs.

Scioto rocks her best he can, "Shhhhh, it's ok honey..your home, your in Ferravale and the bad beast is dead and can no longer hurt you or anyone else."

Blisa weeps brokenly, clinging to Scioto's neck like a leech. "Daddy...Daddy, he...he's bad...killed....Lenore...she...w...w...was...g...g..good..." she manages to sob out. She has had a very rough few weeks. Maybe Vladmir is having the final laugh...he almost seems to have broken the 'unbreakable' Dibbun.

Scioto listens, "Well, you can still remember her." He rubs her back and smiles at her, "I am glad your home, I missed you."

Blisa buries her face even deeper into Scioto's shoulder fur. "I m...missed y...you, t...too."

Scioto smiles, "All will be ok, and.....well get as close to normal as it can get, maybe we can have a celebrtion soon, in the village to celebrate that insane fox being gone."

Blisa shudders and begins to cry harder at the mention of Stormfeather.

Scioto frowns, "Ok, lets not mention that name or even a..refrence to it, your home and thats what is important, and we are back together"

Blisa nods, hiding her face even more. "Back t'gether."

Scioto smiles, "Your going to be ok and maybe in few day, maybe,...we can pay a visit to the abbey"

Blisa snifs, leans back, and looks up hopefully into her father's eyes. "Can we? Please?"

Scioto nods "Yes, once your a little better, we can check on whomever you like, anyone from Ferravale is back home now"

Blisa smiles a little. "Oz and Leon and Kiara?"

Scioto nods "Sure...anyone else like to see, could check on Flicktail as well."

Blisa smiles a little more, then snuggles down. "Can I draw?"

Scioto smiles and nods as he gently sits her down and gets out what is needed to draw with, he smiles "Maybe make your friends at the abbey some get well cards."

Blisa nods, and begins to draw...but first she needs to sketch the horrors that she witnessed, starting with Vladmir killing Lenore. It might just be the only way she can cope...
