Thank you

You're welcome.

Alder looked to everyone. "Let's eat but stay on guard everyone alright?"

Tai'ho nodded. "I'll keep watch of the perimeter."

---

"Let's join the others again...."

Izara nodded and followed him.

Asta followed quietly not saying a word.

Pyre looked at everyone. "I'll help watch with you Tai'ho..."

Pyrite looked at Izara. "You okay?"

Tsura looked at Keinan.

Mya went to Asta. "Want to help me with dinner?"

Asta gave a soft smile and nodded "yeah sure I'd be happy to" she said looking at her.

Mya got out the food, and started cooking with Asta.

Izara nodded not sure what to say.

Keinnan looked down not sure what to think of what was happening.

Tsura hugged Keinan.

Pyrite sat with Izara. Whispering, she said to Izara, "Something happened while you and Pyre were talking...we saw Izar....but then he just disappeared.... I thought you should know..."

Mya spoke to Asta, trying to get to know her.

Pyre looked over at Alder and the group, then at Izara and his sister. Looking then at Tai'ho, he whispered, "Did Izar when he was young...want to always be around Izara?"

Asta shyly spoke to Mya telling her about herself even though their wasn't really to much to tell about. she smiled happy to have someone interested in getting to know her.

Mya smiled telling Asta her story (in Mya's bio) and even telling her that she had found some family, but that she was dead and a spirit that has been helping her.

Tai'ho frowned considering."Yes actually...but their father kept him away from her."

Izara looked to Pyrite with wide eyes "Are you sure?"

Pyrite nodded. "Yes...I'm sure..."

Pyre shook his head. "Izar's father...his father through rebirth... and Izara was not that man's daughter... She was kidnapped when she was a baby and her father left for dead... her real father used a spell to...be reborn..." He whispered.

"Are you saying...what I think you are?"

"Yes...it's true...I saw it in the flames... Izar wished me to kill him... he hates that he is cursed to hate her...." he whispered.

He looked sad. "Whoever is controlling him is a monster."

Pyre nodded.

"What now?"

"We hunt and kill the bastard.... reunite father and daughter.... restore the gem....though I don't want to lose her...or him...." said Pyre, looking back at Izara.

Izara hugged him lovingly.

He hugged her back.

Pyrite came over and hugged Tai'ho. "We'll get him for what his done...."

Tai'ho hugged her.

Izara looked toward Asta. "And you will come with us now right?"

Asta nodded, "yes I'll come along as well" she said standing there quietly.

Izara gently released Pyre and then hugged Asta. "Thank you."

Pyrite hugged Asta from behind. "We are all in this together..."

Izara nodded.

Tai'ho and Alder still scanned the area. "I wonder...who could be powerful enough to enslave Izar though?" Alder murmured.

"Someone who wants the gem..." said Pyre as he himself.

Asta hugged Pyrite and Izara back tightly they were like sisters to her and it made her happy. but she was worried to hear about Izar and was worried about him and Izara.

Pyrite smiled gently at Asta, then looked over at her brother sadly. Pyre had walked a little a way from the group, deep in thought.

Izara looked worried too.

"We can't set here and worry...we must move on." Alder said after awhile.

Tsura and Mya nodded in agreement.

Pyre didn't respond.

Pyrite looked at Alder alright.

"Pyre?" Izara asked gently.

"Yes...? Izara..." he said softly.

She hugged him gently. "Are you alright?"

"No... Izara..." he said, turning and hugging her back. "I'm not...he wanted me to pick between you and him, and then expected me to kill him....I... hurts in my heart...."

She had tears in her eyes as she hugged him tightly. "It's...not his fault though...it's whose controlling him..."

"I know, Izara.... we'll get him get...."

She still looked worried.

"We'll do it," said Pyrite.

Pyre nodded.

Mya looked worried, knowing some of the dangers out there after them.

Tsura just sighed.

She nodded and looked to Asta. "Did...you love Talon?"

Pyre looked over at Asta.

Asta jumped coming out of her deep thought from the sudden question and blushed. "I I really don't know I barely knew the man but I know he means alot to me and I'll never forget him." she said blushing as she sat there. "He gave up his life to free me from my curse he will always hold a place in my heart" she blushed putting her hand on her heart the one she wore Talon's ring on.

Izara hugged her. "I don't think he is trully dead..."

Pyre nodded.

Asta blushed and nodded as she snuggled against Izara. "Maybe, I I hope he isnt, that maybe there is some chance that he could come back and maybe something could happen between us" she turned even deeper red thinking about it all.

Izara smiled as she hugged her friend. "Have faith..."

Asta sighed softly it was hard to have faith in her life but she held small faith in her heart that maybe she would see him again.

Pyre said, "He was the one that told me what happened to Izar after what I had tried to do."

"When?"

Pyre tells of the conditions, the time being after his death.

"How...did you actually see him?"

"I didn't..... it was his voice...."

Asta was confused by what they were talking about, she sat there listening to the conversation trying to keep up. She had so much to find out from all of them. She felt like she had just intruded on a long story like opening a book and beginning to read it from middle to whatever end their was.

"Do you think he is alive then?"

"I don't know..."

"For now...lets rest a bit..."

Pyre nodded, as did Pyrite who hugging her love.

Mya leaned against Alder.

Tsura looked at her bird-y friend, before sitting down.

Asta curled up by herself thinking about Talon wondering if he would come back. She didn't know what it was but she felt something for him. But she wouldn't put hope into it for all she knew he didn't feel that way for her. She sat there by the fire keeping warm just keeping to herself

Izara placed a blanket around her before joining Pyre. She was silent in thought.

Tai'ho hugged Pyrite

Keinan smiled a little uncomfortably at Tsura.

Tsura patted the ground next to her for Keinan to sit there.

He sat down. "What happens now?"

"I guess we rest..." she said smiling at him.

"But keep watch." Alder said.

tsura nodded to Alder, but then leaned against Keinan, a little tired from the day.

Keinan blushed and draped his cloak around her holding her close awkwardly

"I can move if you wish...." she mumbled, tiredly.

"You don't have to..."

"Thank....you..." she said as she fell asleep against Keinan.

He blushed.

Mya smiled at the scene, leaning into Alder.

Alder held her close. "We all need rest but we need to set up a vigil."

"I know love..."

Asta laid on her side, with her back to the others she laid there playing with Talon's ring on her finger, she had barely known the man and yet, her heart ached missing him. Probably would have never worked out between us anyways she thought to herself sadly as she gazed at the ring.

She felt a hand gently stoke her cheek

Asta froze at the feeling not knowing who it was

She saw nothing, just felt it

Asta laid there so confused not knowing what was going on. But feeling somewhat comforted by the feeling.

It will be alright Asta.She heard

"Talon?" she whispered softly to herself confused.

I'm not dead.

You're... You're not?" she thought in her mind hoping he would hear her.

Not exactly.

Not exactly? she asked timidly and confused on the situation she blushed laying there wondering if he had seen all of her thoughts on him since she had lost him.

My spirit is suspended and my body is being preserved in a temple.

is there? anyway to bring you back? she asked softly but with hope

Yes. But you and the others will have to seek out the wise man.

She hugged her blanket closer to her they would never go for it they were busy with their own problems and issues especially when it came to the stone. They wouldn't want to do that.

Have faith in them. They will help if you ask.

that was the thing though she didn't know if she could bring herself to, she felt herself enough of a burden as is.

"Asta?"Izara asked in concern

"Yes?" Asta asked looking at Izara over her shoulder shyly.

"Are you alright?"

"yes I'm alright Izara I'm just having a hard time getting to sleep" she said with a soft smile.

Izara began to sing. Her voice was peaceful and soothing

"Oh wow you have such a beautiful voice" she said with a soft sigh before laying down and snuggling up again Izara's voice helped Asta soon drift off fast asleep. Izara smiled and placed a blanket over her and than began to walk around the perimeter of the camp

"Beautiful..." came Pyre's voice softly.

She blushed. "Thank you."

Mya smiled at them and nodded. "Izara, that was a wonderful song...." she said softly.

Tsura just nodded.

Nadya lead the way, she knew the other were going to be heading.

Baku followed asking her questions about herself.

Nadya answered him the best she could, and then asked him about himself.

He told her as much as he could manage

Night was upon them. "Baku...could we just camp for the night? I'm going to fall over into sleep...."

Baku blushed."Sorry...' he set up camp and let her use his bed roll. "Sleep well."

"Baku... I do have a bedroll...and seeing as you have given me yours, you can use mine..." Nadya said, looking at him.

"Alright. I will take first watch though. Sleep well."

Nadya nodded, laying fully down. "Night..." she fell asleep.

Baku watched over her and kept an eye on the surroundings.

Nadya woke up sometime after midnight, and looked over at Baku. Rubbing her eyes, she said, "I'll watch...you can get some sleep...."

He nodded and settled down to sleep.

Nadya watched him as he slept, but also watched the surrounding area.

Eventually morning came.

Nadya moved towards Baku, kneeling beside him. She reached out her hand, gently shaking him. "Baku..."

He bolted awake then settled. "Sorry. Morning."

Nadya sat back when he bolted. "Morning... are you...alright?"

He nodded. "Sorry. Years of tension...teach a man to always be on guard." He said as he stood and handed her some rations.

"It's okay..." said Nadya taking the rations. "I understand...."

He sighed and began to eat. "I'm sorry if I am really tense...it's been a long time since I have traveled with anyone, and an even longer time since I have spoken at length with a woman.Especially such a beautiful one."

Nadya blushed, looking down. "Oh..."

he blushed too realizing what he had said. "Sorry...that was disrespectful of me to be so blunt..."

"No...it's okay...I... before I ran into the ones that would be my friends...before you....no one thought me worthy to speak to besides my father... I was the one curse to kill all around me in time..." She said, looking off to the side.

He gently tilted her chin so he was gazing into her eyes and then he gently kissed her. "You aren't a curse."

"How do you know?" she asked him, staring back at him.

He held her close. "If you were something would have happened to me by now. i don't get the feeling you are cursed."

"But I had been in my home, all my life....I......" She leaned against him.

he held her gently. "Please don't think of yourself as cursed."

She nodded against him. "alr...ight....."

He smiled and gently kissed her. "I love you."

"Love you...." she said after kissing him back.

He held her close for a few minutes then broke from the embrace. "We should find your friends."

Nadya nodded. "Yes..." she said. They started again in, heading east.

He walked at her side happy to have met her.

Nadya looked up at Baku. "So... I..."

He looked to her with gentleness in his eyes. "Yes?"

"Could I stay with you when this is all over....? I don't know if I'd even be allowed back....by anyone but my father...." Nadya said looking down.

He blushed and slowly nodded. "But why do you like me so much?"

"I.... my heart..." she said, going beet red, she looked down at the ground.

"Do you...love me?"

Nadya nodded. "Yes," she whispered.

He looked shocked. "But...we just met..."

"I know...." she whispered.

"I...feel something for you too..."

She looked up into his eyes. "Really?"

He blushed and nodded.

Nadya wrapped her arms around Baku's waist.

He blushed. "I...am breaking my promise..."

Nadya looked up at him. "Promise?"

"I...promised to never fall in love again..."

Nadya looked down, allowing her hair to full over her face, as she felt tears swell in her eyes. "Ohhh...." she said very softly.

"I...am falling for you."

"I have...fallen for you...." she said softly, still looking down hiding the tears that had formed in her eyes.

He hugged her close and gently kissed her.

Nadya kissed back, holding on to him, tears going freely down her cheeks.

He held her close tears rolled down his cheeks. "Am I horrible for breaking the promise?"

"I.... I.... please don't say that..... I love you..... I...don't know....why you made that promise, but.... please...." she cried into his chest.

He held her close. "My...family...was killed..."

"I... I'm so sorry....."

"That's...why I hunt vampires and the like..."

Nadya nodded. "I.... not all... are.... like....."

"I am realizing that now..."

Nadya nodded. "If you wish to keep your promise...." she started, softly.

"No...they would want me happy...it took me meeting you to realize that."

"Oh Baku..." she said softly, leaning against him.

He held her gently.

"Thank you...."

"Thank you too."

Nadya leaned her head against Baku's chest.

He held her gently.

"What do we do now? Should we continue?"

"If we want to catch up with your friends we should."

Nadya nodded, blushing. "Alright..."

"Lead the way."

Nadya started in the direction they had been heading before, taking hold of Baku's hand.

He followed her.

Nadya looked around the area, hoping she was really going the right way.

She felt she was.

Nadya smiled up at Baku, before looking out into the area for danger.

She didn't sense anything

Nadya continued to walk with Baku, unsure of what to say.

He tried to ask her things about her past

"I don't have to hide things from you.... do I?" she said smiling up at him.

"No. why?"

"I was just thinking out loud... if you hadn't already known about elves.... I would have said nothing to you about them... to keep them safe.... but you do..." She kissed his cheek.

He smiled and hugged her gently

"You don't think that a person can be cursed from birth...."

"It's possible but if it is true it isn't that persons fault."

"And if people died mysteriously around that person?"

"It's not your fault."

"Being told... that I was the cause... of my mother's.... not by my father, but by everyone else... that if I became the ruler in the future... it'd be the death of everyone..." Nadya whispered looking down.

He held her gently. "Don't believe it."

Nadya nodded. "I... thank you... Baku..."

"You're welcome."

Nadya continued with him towards the direction they needed to head.

She thought she saw the others after awhile

"Up ahead... I think I see them..."

"Already?"

"I guess they didn't get far... the group is big..."

"I don't know...something is making me uneasy."

"What is it Baku?"

"I don't know...I feel it is wrong."

Nadya looked around the area.

The people ahead hardly seemed to move

"What's going on...?" she whispered.

"I think someone set a trap up..."

Nadya nodded. "We have... to go... back..."

"Where?"

"I don't know...."

"Can we travel around this?"

"I hope so..."

"Let's try."

Nadya started to headed away from the area.

he followed

Nadya held Baku's hand as they headed around the area.

---

Auvreeron nodded to Cara leading the way Asta and Talon had gone. But after awhile he frowned. "I don't see them at all..."

"I can't smell them, like they vanished altogether." Cara added.

"What do you suggest we do now?"

"I don't know." Cara said gently grabbing Auvreeron's arm.

He took her hand and smelled the air. "east?"

"East." Cara said.

"Let's go then..."

Cara quickly released Auvreeron's arm, her face beat red.

He stopped and looked down at her. "What's wrong?"

"N-nothing." Cara said turning even redder.

He frowned then quickly kissed her

Cara melted against Avreeron and wrapped her arms around his waist.

He looked down at her. "I wasn't to fast was I?"

Cara blushed. "No."

He smiled. "I love you..."

Cara stared blankly up at Avreeron with her jaw dropped.

He looked away."I'm sorry...I understand if you don't feel the same way. Forgive me, we should search for the others."

Cara turned Avreeron's face back to her. "You just surprised me." She kissed him again, this time she held it longer.

He returned it trying to be gentle

"Avreeron, have you ever heard of Katiana Rose?" Cara asked.

"I have. There are many stories out there...nothing so clear anymore though. Why?"

"What have you heard?"

"I've heard her described as a hero, as a criminal, the stories are so mixed I don't know what to believe but when I met her when we were children she was kind. She was human than. When it came to me that she became a vampire I hardly believed it...why are you asking?"

She got a flash of playing with a young boy around six when she was younger they appeared to be good friends and the name Ree came to mind.

A tear streaked Cara's cheek and her voice was weakened. "Because, I am she."

His eyes widened. "What? You...are Kat?"

More tears streaked Cara's cheeks and her solid demeanor broke completely. "Yes, I am Katiana Rose, former queen of Roselen."

"We were friends...you used to call me Ree..." He said hugging her.

"I remember now, we used to ride Kono through the gardens and bask in the sunlight." Cara said.

"Yes...he never seemed to like me though, perhaps due to my race..."

Cara laughed lightly. "No, he was just being protective of me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Cara answered and held Avreeron close.

he hugged her back and kissed her forehead

Cara rested her head against Avreeron's chest. "What has become of my kingdom?"

He held her close as though to shield her from the truth. "I...do you want to know?"

"Please, don't lie to me." Cara said softly.

He held her closer. "It...is being ruled by a tyrant...who we both thought was a friend..."

Cara stepped back so she could look Avreeron in the eyes. "It has been more than 800 years, everyone we knew then is long dead."

He shook his head sadly. "Not everyone...Kono lives..."

Cara's face brightened. "How? Where?"

He looked grim. "He...is the tyrant..."

A confused expression was plastered on Cara's face. "He's a 'tyrant'? He's a wolf, not a human."

"He is the one ruling your kingdom...he tried to kill me."

"He's a wolf, not a human." Cara repeated.

"He's not either anymore...he became something else...he made a pact with something."

"Kono was always a kind wolf, how could that happen?"

"I don't know..."

"I have to get back to Roselin then, I need to know what happened."

"It wouldn't be safe for you."

"Kono was my friend since I was crawling, I must reach him." Cara said and placed a hand gently on Auvreeron's cheek. "I won't ask you to follow me. If Kono has developed a hatred for you then your presence will upset him."

"He wants you dead. He tortured me thinking I knew where you were. If you go I will come with you."

"That doens't make any sense. Everyone in the court knew I had been locked in Syphon Prison." Cara said.

"The records were lost and destroyed as to the location of the prison thanks to yourse trully...I dabbled in some magic to try to give you time...I was caught before I could try to get to you and help."

"All of these years of trying to help me and you forgot what I look like." Cara said with a quarked smile.
