Chapter 11

As talion landed with Frank the power went back into the ring to stop giving off the magical traces so the ponies wouldn't be able to track them easily Frank started to take the armor off slowly as talion began speaking.

'What happened when you took the ring off?' he asked as Frank pulled the helmet off of his head coughing slightly "W-well-" *cough* *cough* "well remember the ponies from a few nights ago? The ones who chased us out of that pony town." Frank asked while still taking his armor off.

'Yes, I remember what about them?' Talion asked as he watched Frank remove the armor as blood dripped down his side "well they went to some kind of Fountain and before I knew it they started glowing. And you told me to take the ring off"

Frank said as he reached to oversee an old dusty pillow? Putting it under him as he sat down on it while removing his Armor leggings. "Also I thought I would be healed by the ring? Isn't that what it does?"

Frank asked while finally getting the armor finally off as he tossed the last piece onto the pile he made making a loud clanging sound. 'Well yes but the magic from the ring has been drained severely'

Talion said while standing next to him "and the reason that wound isn't healing is because you did not have the ring's power long enough. It also had to be a minor wound for it to heal properly.'

Frank grunted while holding it slightly as pain shot up his side as he tried to stop the bleeding "Well talion? Any bright ideas to patch this up?" he asked while looking at him.

"My~ My~ being who speaks with living and the dead? You surely would scare the townsfolk. " a female said as Frank looked around talion looked at the door knowing where the owner of the voice was.

As the zebra stepped into the moonlight she began to speak in rhyme wearing a cloak he really couldn't tell what she was beside other than the obvious fact that she didn't speak normally "why do you not run? Doesn't my magic make me evil near on the spot?"

Frank asked as she chuckled gently not at him but more to ease the tense setting that they were in "true, your power seems as dark as the night but I have been judged quickly before by the ponies of ponyville. So you must not be too bad" said the female sounding zebra as she softly looked at Frank more.

"You have been in a fight surely you're the victor?"She asked smelling the blood that Frank had been leaking out from his side

As frank nodded "I did what I thought was right and you haven't told me your name surely you can tell me can you?" he asked as the pain wasn't stopping as it surely might have been infected.

"I am Zecora brew potions to heal ailments both magical and physical wounds but you sure do have a heart of gold witch isn't likely for an evil being like you," she said reaching over into her cloak and began quickly pulling a few bandages and a glass bottle out. "By the way Zecora I'm frank"

"Very nice Mr. Frank but let me dress your wounds for now so I can take you to my home in the ever-free," she said while using her hooves and mouth to open the brown bandages she had as she poured the potion onto them as frank reached a hand out to stop her.

As frank tried to talk with Talion 'should we trust her?' Frank asked while grunting in pain 'we do not have a choice here Frank' talion said as Zecora spoke "stupidity is not being brave." she said as he moved to where she can work in the moonlight.

While she patched him up Frank had felt that whatever she had put onto his wound was burning as frank tried his best to ignore it and after some time zecora had finished as she looked up at him with a gentle smile "come you can rest your head in my home"

"I need some help getting up please," frank said reaching out as she looked confused for a moment before realizing he walked on to legs "Oh! Yes indeed she said moving over to him and helping frank to his feet "can you walk or do you need my support?" Zecora asked while she showed him concern and worry.

"No...I'm fine just lead the way" frank said while dragging his blade and slightly holding his side that had been bandaged as he followed the zebra in the moonlight which was kinda hard with the amount of blood he had lost and staying aware and awake was getting harder.

-------*time skip a few minutes ahead in time*-----

After arriving at a small hut deep within the ever-free surrounded by hanging pots and masks the zebra named Zecora took him inside "just rest I'll make you better again" She said while beginning to mix ingredients both on a table but would adding them to a large cauldron.

"Zecora I appreciate what your doing but I'm bleeding still !" Frank said trying to get the urgency across as she nodded "I am aware just keep it at bay and I'll heal you fully!" She said trying to make the correct healing potion.

After that Frank's vision went black as it was dark cold and very isolated as he couldn't tell if it was either a cave? Or tunnel because the only other source of life was whispering he heard that weren't his own.

"W-what the fu*k?" he said as his voice began to echo as he tried to move to look around but frank was motionless in this void until he began to feel again it was slow at first but it felt like he was coming back from whatever it was
As frank opened his eyes he could taste a strange liquid going down his throat it was sour and bitter at the same time which was kinda gross to him but knowing it was either a life or death situation he drank it all as best he could as he saw zecora pouring it from a glass bottle in her hooves.

"Your very weak and you almost met Galaxia for a moment your lucky I got to you in time frank," zecora said not aware of his ability to cheat death as she helped him sit up and go to a bed slowly while frank had taken off his armor slowly and one-handed.

While laying down she tucked him in "you can stay for as long as you need to frank I'll be cleaning up the mess I made" she said leaving him there to wonder where talion had gotten off to.
