As usual Damascus had taken his morning flight over the cliffs and sea. It was where he had always taken flight of a morning, and was the best place to view the court and assess any potential happenings to their environment overnight. Some days he would spy a new nest on the cliffs or find a new ruin that he hadn't spotted the day before, but that was usually it besides the odd fallen tree after a windy night. Sometimes there was interesting bits of debris, the kind he likes to collect and bring back to his cluttered nest at the edge of the swamp, but most days there was naught but a frenzy of wildlife fighting for best pickings.
Today though, he spotted a wreckage; a live one.
Soaring down to the rocky shore below, the colt of eighteen hands and counting was slightly stocked at the mess he beheld. At first he thought the man to be a rock, though knew quickly from above that he couldn't be - by now the colt knew the location of every boulder on this beach, and besides, This one was not black and volcanic like the rest but rather sand-coloured. Stepping over quickly on gangly legs of scarred ebony, Damascus crooned his large muzzle down and sniffed at the gargling stranger's face. Where in Vespera's name had he come from!? This kind of thing doesn't just wash up?
"Hear me you can?" The boy then asked, flicking his left ear out and aiming to press it gently over the male's throat in search of breath and a pulse. "Beating of heart have you, alive you be" He told the unconscious man, just to make sure he knew.
Luckily for the drowned stag he had washed up upon the one beach where he ought to receive the best care. Terrastella had, by far, the best caretakers in all of Novus. It was this thought that brought Damascus to cheer a loud but slightly panicked nicker in the direction of the court, signalling for help from any caretaker within who might heed his call.
"Tare-cakers help you" Damascus then told the man, soon romping to the back of the wrecked dreadlocked fellow and sought to push upon his rump and heave him further ashore.
YAY CHAN!
