Aeotha turned her eyes to the Lady Fiaethe, there was a certain sadness hidden in muted blue of her eyes, but Aeotha seemed to be calmer than the rest of the Priestesses, especially those that were younger. More than a few times Aeotha had to stop one of them from sobbing, and direct them to the temple. It wasn't an easy task, being a Priestess, and war brought the best and worst out of them. Lady Fiaethe was counting. When the numbers got too high more bodies were moved to the temples. Surprising enough, Lady Fiaethe did not seem bothered by the amount of carnage passing them, but Aeotha thought she was waiting for someone they knew to pass them by.
If Leir came here, or Vata, or even Baila, Aeotha was going to attend to them herself. Elves were returning to battle quickly, did any of them have any idea that they might be returning to find their death? If they did, they were unafraid. That was what she'd hated most as a girl. Fix a man, send him back into battle, the next time you saw him he was a hero or he was dead. A very grim thing.
"Five more, High Priestess." A girl spoke over the general din. "Tambliin, to the west corner, I think there's room there." Aeotha said loudly, pointing the way towards some less occupied space. Aeotha turned to watch the girl escort a group of Elves carrying the men along the edges and then into the rows of bodies. Another blast sounded over her shoulder, along the edges of the wall. The mages responded with their own roar of magic. Aeotha should have been up there with them. Her heart pounded in her chest and for a moment she was looking away from the bodies and up to the wall. Her eyes focused on it, her hands hesitantly moving at her sides. Another voice sounded off behind her, a dozen of the priestesses calling different things to each other. More water. More bandages. The youngest priestesses were passing these things off in waves.
"How many dead?" Aeotha asked the Fiaethe quietly, now that she was beside her again. "Or at least an estimation, as we haven't seen all the bodies."
