Trying to get to the Bath as fast as she could while he was distracted, the others seen her covered in blood and Doctor Sebastian tried to run up to her to do an Exam, but she was too fast and Yelled out "I'm Fine! It's not mine! Don't tell the Pup."
When Scarlet just stepped her foot into the Nice and Hot bath to Clean all the Blood off her the Tribes People and Henry reached them. Travis walked up with the Treasure and said "Here is the Treasure that Belongs to you. Take it and Please Leave Without telling Anyone What happened here Today."
The Leader Pete of the 'Blue Water Tribe' walked up and Bowed Deeply saying "We are Eternally Grateful to the 'Great Spirit.' She was able to put a Stop to that Monsters Tyranny and set us Free. We Originally wanted to Find her and ask her to help us, but when we herd that she was sick we knew that her Helping was Never going to Happen. The only thing that we could do was try to help her get better in any way that we could. It was Strange though. The Male's Name was Ethen and he Wanted us to Help her. He wanted us to give her Everything we had to make her Better which didn't make any since because they started to fight almost the Moment that they see each other. Before she showed up, he even told us that she was coming and that we shouldn't stop her. It was like he wanted her Healthy for them to Fight."
Everyone in the area heard Scarlet laughing just before she said "That is Correct. It is not considered a True Battle when you are Challenging an Opponent that is Not at their Optimum Strength. That's why he had you Heal me. He just made the Mistake of Not realizing my Current Strength because we haven't seen each other in so long. It was like Squashing a Bug." She Laughed Evilly after that.
The Others didn't know how to respond to that, not knowing if they would set her off and she would attack them.
Travis picked the Treasure up and handed it to Henry saying "Since she had only One Healing Jewel, her Freeing the tribe of that Male was her payment for it. You are all even now and can just go home and live Peacefully. We will be leaving soon and again we would Appreciate it if you didn't say anything about this. Have a Safe trip back to the Tribe." He put his hand on Henry and Pete's shoulders and turned them back the way they came trying to get rid of them Fast. He finished by saying "We don't want anything to disturb her bath again. It's been a while since she has gotten the chance to relax.
The Groups Faces all Paled at the same time and they shook their heads at that statement. They turned tail and tried to run away before she changed her mind about not being annoying like the other Male did. As they were making a quick getaway a Little Girl around Five or Six ran up to the wall and knocked on it to say "'Great Spirit' can I talk to you please?"
Everyone's face paled and was too Shocked to move after they herd what she said. A second Later she was sucked up into the Ground. Everyone including Scarlet's Group thought that she was Killed by Scarlet until they herd the Little Girls voice on the other side of the wall. She was shocked and said, "Wow you have So many Scars!!"
When they herd Scarlet's Laugh, Her Group settled down while the Others were still on Pins and Needles.
Scarlet was in the bath and all the Little Girl could see was her neck and shoulders, but the area still had its fair share of scars on them. Even though she did her best to keep them from becoming too bad some were just too Deep, or she was Under Supplied at the time. She said "Yeah, I do. So, what is it that You want to Tell Me?"
The Little Girl said, "I just wanted to give you this; and say Thank You for helping us with the Bad Male." Holding out both her hands Scarlet could see something that looked like a Piece of Blue Glass it was Pretty.
Scarlet looked at it then the Little Girl Smiled and said, "What's your Name Sweetie?"
The Little Girl put on a Big Smile and said "My name is Ariel. I am a Horse Female of the 'Blue Water Tribe'."
Scarlet smiled and said "It's nice to Meet you, Ariel. Are you sure you want to give me your Special Treasure? Your Smile is already a Huge Repayment. It is just so Beautiful, just like you."
Giggling and Shaking Her head, she said "Yes, I'm sure. My Daddy gave me this as a present for being a Big Brave Girl. That Bad Man Killed him when He tried to Fight and Protect Mommy and Me and he was so Brave. He wasn't strong enough to beat him though, but you were. You are Big and Strong Like my Daddy. I want you to have it and when you Look at it, you will think of us, and how you were a Big Brave Girl Today."
Hearing this Scarlet couldn't find the words. All she could do was hold her hand out for the Present. Doing this Ariel was able to see more Scars, and some were Really Jagged along the Upper Chest and Along the Arm.
Tears started to fill up in Ariel's eyes and before they Fell Scarlet said "It's Okay sometimes being Brave and Strong has Consequences, I'll tell you secret that is Not so secret. Life is Not Always Nice to you, it's what you Do After the Bad things happen and How you should treasure the Good when you have it."
The tears were Streaming down Ariel's face when Scarlet finished speaking. To try and cheer her up she pulled the tears from her face and made them into different shapes. She said, "Remember the Beautiful and Learn from the Terrible."
Shaking Her head Ariel Bowed Deeply and said, "I understand perfectly 'Great Spirit' I Will do as you say and Remember."
Scarlet Swam around in the pool and finished by saying "Something to Keep in Mind. I have seen a Great Many Mean and Cruel people fall. So be nice to those that treat you well but don't be Stupid about things and let others treat you badly."
With that Scarlet said her goodbyes, sent Ariel back to her tribe's People on the other side of the wall, and tried to relax in her bath. The 'Blue Water Tribe' got the hint and decided to go back and let the 'Great Spirit' bathe in peace.
When all started to settle down Scarlet Finally got to Relax for the First time in a Long time. After a while she started to feel like she was Soup and decided to get out. Completely forgetting about getting hit in the face earlier she walked out with her Split lip, Black Eye, and Cut Forehead.
The Fuzzball was the First to see her come out and the First to see her face, then he became the First to Freak out. When the Others herd him making a Fuss about it, they all rushed up and started to look at her. Scarlet was suddenly reminded of her current look when she was Suddenly surrounded and fussed over. Pushing them all away she said, "It's fine you Big Babies I just got into Little Hand to Hand Combat and it is nothing that a Stiff Drink won't Cure."
With that Scarlet walked into the cave and sat down on the bed. When she reached the bed Doctor Sebastian was there with a cup of water. Laughing at him she Reached to the Left to grab a Bottle from the ground and started to empty out its Contents into her Stomach. All of them were confused at what was going on but none of them said anything. Travis just walked over and picked her up just to set her on his lap like he always did and said, "He was One of them, wasn't he?"
Scarlet was shocked that Once again he Knew what was going on without needing to be told. Hearing this Scarlet just took another long drag off the Bottle and said "Yeah, One of the weaker lackeys. I don't know How he ended up here, but he is Dead Now. So, there's that."
Travis held her close and Motioned for Nick to cook something as the Little Fuzzball crawled into Scarlet's lap. She put the bottle down and held onto him, holding on to him tighter than she thought. When he let out a little winey sound she quickly let go and said "I'm sorry my Sweet Baby. Are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you."
After he answered Travis translated, "I'm okay Mommy you didn't hurt me I am Big and Strong just like you Mommy. I just want Mommy to be okay."
Scarlet couldn't help but laugh at them both. Travis because he is so big and talked like a kid, then there was the Pup that was just such a Cutie. Finally, she was able to Hold her Pup again and Scarlet felt better than she had in a Long Time.
Kissing the top of her head Travis picked up the bottle and said "So my 'Little Spirit' what is this stuff that you are drinking? Doesn't smell like anything I have ever come across before."
