"They're called Templars, you say?" Asked Dante as he walked with Lowell to the empty bunker. He had seen Lowell arrive with the herbs necessary for the sick child, and the Changeling mare over his shoulder. He had given the mother the medicine, and handed Dante the mare. They were headed to the last empty bunker, which was the one right next to the bathroom. Lowell kicked the door open, and Dante walked towards the bed at the other side of the room. He laid her there and tucked her in under the covers. Just then, Lowell said, "Aye, lad. I've been a rogue assassin for a time, trying to postpone their plans of dominating. But it wasn't enough, and they took the chance they had by the balls." Dante nodded, and put a hand on Lowell's shoulder to look right at him. "Listen, if you want, you can stay here and wait for her to wake up," He then said to Lowell. "She might wake up in a day or two. We'll send someone to bring in food so you don't starve and water so you don't get dehydrated."

Lowell nodded, saying, "Aye. I'd like that, lad. Thank you." And he took a chair from behind the wall, putting it by the bed side. He sat down and took off his sage green robes and jacket. He was dressed in a black white beater, sweats and belted combat boots. He looked towards the mare, paying close attention to her features; she had a lithe build, firm and strong, but also quite feminine and a bit charming. Her coat of fur was black, and her mouth revealed to have fangs. She had a long, flowing straight dark green mane and tail. she had a few circles of fur here and there that had a lighter shade of black to look almost like holes. Lowell smiled, because she was pretty. He also smiled because he was happy that she was gonna be okay.

2 days later...

Chrysalis opened her eyes to find herself staring at gray metal walls. She looked around a bit, and saw a stallion with an eye patch on. His eyes were closed for the moment, so he was possibly asleep. She took a good, long glance at him, admiring his build. He was very strong, and when she looked close, she could see the contours of every muscle. She then looked at his facial features; strong jawline, and a slight scar that ran along one side of his mouth. He was otherwise very handsome. She looked away and blushed. She then tried to get up, but a hand reached out in front of her. She looked, and saw it was the same stallion she looked at just a few seconds ago. He smiled and said, "Listen, lass. You should probably lay down, you're still hurt a wee bit..."

Chrysalis wondered what he meant, then remembered what happened before she was unconscious. That's when she felt the shooting pain along her side. She slowly got back down on her back. The stallion then asked, "I'll go get ya some food to eat, okay?" At which Chrysalis nodded and said in a dry voice, "Th-that'd be n-nice..." The stallion smiled and walked out of the room. She waited a few minutes, then saw a tray of food on a mini table set up in front of her. The stallion inched his chair closer and hand fed her the food since she couldn't get up. She chewed for a bit, then after swallowing asked, "W-what's your n-name?" The stallion smiled.

"My name be Lowell, lass. What be yours?"

"I d-don't th-think you'd still h-help m-m-me...i-if I t-told you..."

The stallion chuckled and lightly rubbed her shoulder, saying, "I don't care what your name be, lass. It's fine, tell me." Chrysalis nodded while taking a sip of water and said, "Chr-Chrysalis...Queen of th-the Changelings..." She then flinched, as if expecting a slap from the stallion and spit to fall on her face, but instead received a pat on the shoulder. She opened one eye, and looked to the stallion, still in a curled in position. He smiled and asked, "That wasn't so hard, was it?" Chrysalis couldn't believe it. Here, in front of her, was a normal stallion. And he didn't even care who she was. She became so excited, so...in love...

She looked to him and asked, "S-so, can I hear y-your name?" The stallion grinned and said, "The name be Lowell, lass. Thanks for asking." Chrysalis giggled a little and said, "Cute name...it suits you, actually." The stallion smiled and said, "You think that's cute? Watch this." He puffed out his cheeks and his fur fluffed out. Chrysalis stared, mouth agape, then laughed so hard her face went red. Lowell laughed too and his fur went back to normal. "So, anyways, it's good to see you're okay, lass. I was afraid you wouldn't wake to see the light of day again." Said Lowell. Chrysalis smiled and said, "Me, too."

They just stared at each other for a bit, then Lowell broke the silence by saying, "So, if you happen to need anything, let me know." He then came over and kissed Chrysalis's forehead. "Rest now, Chryssi. You'll need it to regain your strength."

Chrysalis watched him exit with his sage green hooded robe and jacket, as well as his weapons, and a blush spread upon her face. She put a hand to the spot he kissed, and giggled. She then used her magic, and fed off of her own love...for him.
