What's next?
The Caravan
I moved away from the Bull carcass and started walking over to the caravan, while Izzy seemed to start eating the large bull creature.
One of the three wagons was almost completely destroyed, way beyond being able to be used again without major fixes, but one was barely damaged at all and the other didn't seem damaged at all. As I got closer some people started coming out from behind and inside the wagon to see if the coast was clear. Most of them looked like humans but there is a couple Elves and what looks like could be a Half Orc mixed in.
A look of relief appears on their face for only a moment before they see Izzy digging into the Bull and seem to get really scared. I am quick to try to calm them down and show them my tamer mark.
"You don't need to be scared! I am a Tamer, she is under my care. She won't hurt any of you." I say quickly. Most of them still look a little scared, but at least they arnt panicking. One of the human, a older looking man, walks over to me, not looking scared at all.
"its good to see there are still Dragon Tamers out there, we are lucky that you came along. We had some adventurers with us, but it seems the Bull was to much to handle. Sadly most of them are dead and the only survivor is injured. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be life threatening, but she isn't able to fight or even walk much at the moment." He says with a sad look on his face. "I am the leader of this Caravan. I know this might be to much to ask, since you have already saved our lives, but would you mind traveling with us as a Guard for the remainder of this trip. We will pay you well if you do." He says, sounding like he assumes I will say no.
"I accept, as long as you can get those guys to stop being scared of my partner over there. I would rather not have to constantly tell them that she won't hurt them." I say with a chuckle. "Also, if you could show me to the injured, I know first aid so I might be able to help them more." Its a good thing Mila made sure to teach me first aid when I was 10. It may not be nearly as good as Healing magic but I can do stuff like Setting a broken bone or doing stitches.
The man nods and starts leading me behind one of the wagons, where a women is sitting on the ground holding a fairly wounded leg, thankfully the wound isn't near a artery and it on the outside of the calf. She also has a wound on her right arm right below the shoulder, she was lucky it hit her arm and not her chest.
The woman has Long rabbit ears on her head and a rabbit tail. Its the first time I have seen a Beast-folk, which my mother told me there were many species of, but they weren't really common in this part of the world. She wore baggy pants, with one of the pant leg torn off right above the wound, and a light blue blouse that had the right arm torn off of it to reveal the other wound. Her legs had a decent amount of muscle, but her arms were only a little more muscular then mine. I tried to not get distracted by her sizeable chest as I moved closer to get a better look at her wounds.
She looks startled when she noticed me, obviously not recognizing me.
"Don't worry, im not going to hurt you, me and my partner just killed that bull. I know some first aid that could at least close the wounds and make sure they don't get infected." I say with a soft smile on my face. She seems to call down a bit and lets me examine her arm.
"Th...thank you for killing the bull... I don't think I have b...been more scared in my life. We were being paid to protect against Bandits, there isn't usually monsters near this road..." She says, wincing as I gently hold her arm to look at the wound. It doesn't look to deep, but will definitely need Stitches and then probably some healing magic once we get back to town. Her leg wound is deep though, looks like it could be substantial muscle damage. Stitches will help stop the bleeding, but Healing magic is the only thing that's going to save that leg. I tell her as much and she looks defeated.
"Healers charge a lot of money... and I doubt im going to be paid much for this job since I now can't do the job at the half way point... back to working in the kitchens again I guess." She says as I get out my med kit from my backpack. I hand her a cloth to put in her mouth to bite down on while I get to work.
After 30 minutes I have fully stitched up her wounds and have them wrapped in bandages. I pass her my water skin since she is sweating heavily and looks like she is going to pass out soon. I hand her a piece of my jerky since she should eat something to replenish the lost blood. She takes it and eats it with a look on her face that is obvious she hates the taste.
Shortly after she finishes eating she passes out, so with the help of the half orc we get her into one of the wagons to lay down.
