Groaning, Kelieahn ran her fingers tenderly through her hair, ignoring the sharp pain that shot through her head at the touch. While her eyes adjusted to what light happened to be left, the blonde Princess pushed her long hair across her shoulders and gazed along her slender frame to check for damage. Hissing at the sight of her left arm, the Elf knew without needing to touch her right side that at least one rib was broken. That was a brutal assault and she still wasn’t sure how in the world survived.
“Now what…?” Her voice came out soft and she had to cough just a little, still feeling waterlogged.
Spitting out more water, Kelieahn slowly climbed to her feet, looking around. Definitely alone, she wondered if anyone else made it out of the attack alive. Something, perhaps instinct and logic told her that no; everyone else had died. Unsure how to get herself out of this situation, the toned warrior princess decided to go explore. But first, she needed to splint her arm. Peering around, Kel found two pieces of plank that were about the same size. She also located some cord to wrap around the wood. It took a bit of patience and pain tolerance, but she managed to splint up her arm.
Once that task was complete, she slid right back to her feet, having sat down on a rock to do the splinting. Using one arm to dust off her clothing, Kelieahn exhaled deeply and started heading away from the water. It was tough, but she had to ignore the severe migraine rampaging throughout her brain thanks to the concussion from the attack and wreck. Thankfully the majority of her warrior dress was still intact. The dark maroon velvet surcoat took the majority of the damage and had huge cuts throughout, especially on the back. The silver buttons and most of the loops were missing, having been torn off at some point during the battle or the aftermath, she wasn’t sure. Both of the dark leather vambraces that were beneath the sleeves of the coat were in good shape and probably prevented the break from being even worse than it was, which was a plus. The silky fabric shirt beneath the surcoat as well as the maroon leggings and grey boots were still in fairly decent shape. All in all, things definitely could have turned out differently. As she walked, Kel looked over her shoulder to make sure no one was sneaking up on her.
