As Colin and Zia stand near, Captain explains about catatonic juice before also succumbing to its effects. Colin eases him down next to Azzar, whom he finally notices is oddly disheveled for a regular battle. "Exhaustion, no doubt," he thinks, "To go along with that drug." With dawn slowly approaching, Colin sheathes his glowing blade, whereupon the light from its gem promptly dims and goes out, leaving it black as pitch once more. Come to think of it he's pretty tired himself. He's been up a long time. And he has several wounds. Reaching into a pouch, the Ranger removes a small metal vial, and unstoppering it, takes a healthy swig. Most of his wounds fade without so much as a scar, only the largest remaining, and those more than 3/4 healed. Much of his weariness flees as well. Kneeling down, he pours a small amount into Azzar's mouth. While she does not awaken, her expression relaxes, and she appears to enter a more normal sleep. He introduces himself to Zia. "Colin Silvertree." This taken care of, Colin then begins to scan the alleyway for Kron and Thk. ************************************************************************** Colin Silvertree ADMIN: Well, I guess this chapter is about over. Lets get this mopped up and on the next set of bad guys! And what time is it, anyway? TANYA: Congratulations! May you and lucky guy have a long and happy one together! semper fi, Jammer Jim Miller
