Pressing his lips together, Darius merely nodded before remembering that Rosalina could not see him. "Calista had a seizure," he said softly. "It broke before I left," he added, hoping that would ease Rosalina's worries. She was such a compassionate woman and he loved her for it, but right now she did not need any more stress.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Calista?" Gareth whispered before pressing a light kiss to her forehead.
"Gareth...." Calista mumbled as she started to regain consciousness.
"Thanks heavens you are alive!" he exclaimed out of pure joy, tears of relief filling his eyes.
Blinking a few times, Calista just looked at Gareth in confusion, wondering why he was so upset. "What's wrong....?" she whispered drowsily.
"You had a seizure, Rose," Gareth replied softly. "And stopped breathing for a time..." he added his voice trailing off in sorrow at the memory.
Seizure? Calista wondered dimly, her mind cloudy. Nothing was making any sense. She didn't remember having a seizure and it took her a moment to remember why she was in bed.
"I feel so sleepy..." she mumbled to Gareth, not even sure if she was making any sense.
"Rose, your fever is still very high. If I make you a broth, can you drink it?"
"Anything you want..." she murmured before her eyes closed and she sank into a deep sleep.

Rosalina frowned. "Her fever is that bad?" she asked, she remebered that she too had seizures due to fevers. When she was younger she got sick easiley.

"Apparently so," Darius remarked softly. "At first I didn't think it was that high, but it could have risen in a short time," he added. He remembered well how Rosalina became ill easily as a child---which made him all the more fearful over her health now. "But this is not an issue you need to concern yourself with," he added wanting her to let him do the worrying. "Just enjoy your meal. You need to stay well."
------------------------------------------------------------
As Calista slipped into a deep sleep, Gareth gently laid her on the bed before kissing her cheek lightly. Dipping the cloth in the water again, he set it on her forehead as he rose to prepare the herbs. Lighting another fire, he set another pot fill with water over the flames to boil as he crushed the herbs before tossing them inside to make another herbal brew. You need to pull through this Rose, Gareth thought to himself as he waited for the drink to finish boiling, hoping that this would not make her prone to such seizures.

Rosalina sighed. "Have you told Gareth how to help the seizure?" she asked. "For someone her age they could be dangerous."

"I told him what I knew of from personal experience---mainly to help bring down her fever---since as far as I remember with you there was nothing else that could be done to help stop the seizure," Darius told her softly. Sighing to himself at Rosalina's words he could only shake his head. "Yet, I am not sure how useful my information is---considering her age. I know seizures can come at any age, but it seems rather odd that she gets a seizure from a fever now---unless she has yet to suffer from many illnesses," he added, suddenly remembering what Gareth had told him when they had first met---that she had a strange ability to heal her herself quickly. But then again wouldn't that power have still protected her? he wondered. Unless of course, he reasoned that after the beatings, the ravishing, getting pierced by his claws and then suffering a long exposure to cold all in such a short period of time had left her body weak and vulnerable to infection.
------------------------------------------------------------
Once the herbal brew was finished, Gareth placed a cupful of it in a decanter before walking over to Calista's bed. Sitting at her side, he gently took the unconscious woman in his arms before shaking her lightly to rouse her. Mumbling incoherently, Calista did not open her eyes as she lay practically lifeless in the mage's arms.

Rosalina nodded. "I wish I could help." she confessed. "BEsides you, I am the only one who knows."

"You can help later, Ro," Darius told Rosalina gently. He loved her deeply and was proud of her willingness to help another in need, but for right now she just needed to focus on recovering from her own illness. "Right now, the best thing that you can do is to get well," he whispered to her.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Love, I need you to try and drink this," Gareth whispered to Calista as he held her close. Adjusting her so he could tilt her head back slightly, he placed the cup at her mouth and slowly poured some of the liquid into her slightly parted lips. Most of the liquid dribbled out of her mouth and down her neck, but a little portion managed to slide down her throat. As the liquid ran down her throat, Calista started to choke and Gareth quickly stopped administering the brew, afraid that he would injure her even worse.

rosalina nodded. "I know I can't see, But can I least go and see if I can help this way?"

"Ro, you can help once you are better," Darius told her gently. "Finish your meal first and then get some rest. Once you are stronger you can help Calista as much as you want, but until then you are going to need to take care of yourself too."
------------------------------------------------------------
Once she finished choking, a soft moan escaped from Calista's throat as her lashes began to flutter. "Gareth..." she whispered weakly as her eyes slowly opened and she gazed up at him with glazed blue orbs.
"Love, I need you to try and drink this. It may help bring down your fever," he told her gently. As she nodded weakly in response, Gareth helped her hold the decanter to her lips as she slowly drank the brew, choking periodically as she did so. When she was finished, the mage gently laid her on the bed again as he set the cup on the side before lightly caressing her face. "Good," Gareth remarked softly before he pressed a tender kiss to her hot cheek. "Now just rest," he whispered soothingly to her.

Rosalina bit her lip. "But how can I rest knowing she's ill because of me." She said.

"Ro, if you wear yourself out, you won't be able to help anyone," Darius told her softly. "It won't do any of us any good to have the both of you very ill. It will only just make for a crazed mage and a raging dragon-lion. And if you combine our tempers we two may just end up annihilating the world," he added Darius knew his temper full well and from what he could tell of Gareth, the mage was extremely protective over Calista and once he was enraged he made for a deadly adversary.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Have you eaten, love?" Calista asked Gareth weakly as she gazed up at him with dull eyes.
"I will eat later, dearest. Do not fret so. Right now, I am just worried about you." Gareth remarked softly as he pressed a light kiss on her hand, touched by her concern for him. Here she suffered from a seizure, lay violently ill and was asking if he ate. Did her unselfishness have no limits?
"I'll be all right," Calista mumbled. "But please Gareth, you need to eat and rest. It will be terrible if you became ill too. And I'll never forgive myself knowing that I brought it on you," she whispered breathlessly, worry in her glazed eyes.
"Shhh, love. I will be fine. Please just save your strength," Gareth soothed as he stood to dip the cloth in water again before applying it to her forehead.
Sighing softly, Calista closed her eyes for a brief moment as Gareth laid the cloth on her forehead. Opening her eyes again after a few moments, she decided not give up on her entreaty, not wanting Gareth to neglect his own health just so he could care for her.

Rosalina sighed and ate her meal. She would not waste her energy, she really didn't want to worry Darius.

Breathing a sigh of relief as Rosalina began to eat her meal, Darius did likewise knowing that he would have to keep up his strength in order to protect Rosalina and possibly help Gareth with Calista.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Love, please eat!" Calista begged again, the worry she had for him obvious in her weak tone.
"I will, beloved. Once I know that the danger to your life has passed." Gareth responded.
"And how long is that going to be?" Calista rasped. "What if it is days? No, I won't let you hurt yourself on my account," she whispered as she drew in ragged breaths.
"Love, please just save your strength!" Gareth replied, his own voice tight with worry.
Calista was about to respond when the shuffling of feet drew her attention and her father entered the room. "How are you feeling daughter?" he asked her as he stepped close to her bedside and placed his age fingers against her cheek, drawing in a deep breath at the heat emitting from her skin.
"Daddy, please tell Gareth to take care of himself. He won't even eat because he is tending to me," she panted tears of worry in her eyes.
"Go and get your meal. I'm here and can watch her," Daniel told him softly. "I appreciate your dedication to Calista but if you refuse her request now I fear she will kill over in worry."
Nodding at Daniel's semi-command, Gareth made his way to the cooking area and picked up the plate containing the meal Calista had prepared and a cup of sweetened water. Walking back into the room, he set the drink on the table and sat down on a chair near her bed and began to eat his meal while keeping an eye on her. Breathing a sigh of relief, Calista gave the mage a weak smile. "Thank you," she whispered weakly, relief apparent in her voice and face as she closed her eyes and sank into unconsciousness, her energy utterly spent.

Finishing his meal, Darius smiled at Rosalina's words, glad that she was going to rest. "Of course, dearest," he remarked quietly. "Let me help you to the bed," he added as he rose from his seat before helping Rosalina to rise.
------------------------------------------------------------
"What happened?" Daniel asked Gareth quietly as the mage ate his meal. "Her temperature is so high..." he said sadly. "I don't ever remember her being so ill."
"That is because she never really was as child," Gareth remarked. "I think she may have pushed herself too far. I tried telling her to rest but she insisted on preparing a meal for all of us. After I brought the food to both you and Darius, I returned to check on her and found her in the throes of a seizure..." Gareth said quietly, sadness in his eyes.
"A SEIZURE?!" Daniel exclaimed, fear gripping his own heart as Gareth merely nodded.
"It was terrible. It lasted for about ten minutes and she even stopped breathing for a time..." he added feeling his own throat tighten with worry. "I thought I was going to lose her..." Gareth barely managed to choke out.

Rosalina smiled at darius as took her to the bed where she laid down and closed her eyes.
