" "Losse, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," He half-turns to glance back the way they came, then, and there is a sullen tone in his voice now. I don't know who is c oming... we are not going back!

Then he flops down on the forest floor where he was standing, and attempts to gently pull the girl down with him. I hate Cailin so much...

"Losse, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," He rubs his nose again, and the wet shimm er withdraws from his eyes as he looks up at the woman with a look of utter admi ration.

He trails his fingers across the large coal drawing on page five and six. Then he frowns, and lowers his gaze. Mama does not do anything... she invited them all to Lorelei, I think. Dada is very sad, he stayed in the mine alone a very long time..." "Losse, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He gives the boy a friendly smile. I'm D inova! I'm the oldest after Berias.

"Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Draven"," He has rolled up to sleep where he was sitting, his hand still outstretched towards Aba as he rests on the forest floor , and his dirty face marked by exhaustion. " "Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian"," Reaching down into a box, she retrieves something. She tosses an ivy shirt at Hinrod and sits back down on the ground, wiping off her dress, picking up the leather, her hands expertly fashioning it i nto shape. No. I will not. As you can see... I have my own business to attend t o." "Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian","But... from what the children told me, i t sounds as though Ewon has fairly well run you out of your own house. And Sofia is fine with you not being there? I mean... you're there. But you're not really -there-. Do you understand?" "Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Hinrod"," He catches the shirt out of the air wit h one hand and slips into it. He nods at her Yeah... I guess...

"Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian","Hmm. What troubles me is that Sofia invi ted Ewon and Cailin back to Lorelei. She looks down at the leather, frowning. W ell, it can't be helped. I certainly can't be running off to solve everyone's pr oblems -- I have little ones to take care of. You do, too..." "Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Hinrod"," He shakes his head No... I don't...." "Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian","Hmm. Draven told me that when Ewon is th ere, you stay in the mine." "Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Hinrod"," He sighs, scratching the back of his he ad I... got sleepy. But only for a little bit... He gazes toward the northwest I had to get some medicine for Sofia.

What I'm trying to say is that I think you can solve your o wn problems now, if you really want to." "Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian","If Ewon is a problem, you should figure out a way to deal with him. If the problem is strength, then it's no problem at

"Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Hinrod"," He shakes his head The other children. .. they all like Ewon an' Cailin a lot, I think. Zos... she even left Lorelei to go talk to her."

"Losse, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian"," She laughs quietly, nodding. Fine, fin e.

"Losse, 73 - Evening, hr 12","Draven"," There is another, deeper flicker of dist ant coolness in his eyes now, and he glances towards the northwest.

And because we were all happy until she came and m ade Zos and Tee run away, and mama too, and made mama bring Ewon. His still fair ly small face wrinkles up at the last word, and he pushes the tip of his needle down into the leather with a sudden angry movement, forcing it almost all the wa y through.

"Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova"," He gives his little brother a quick distra cted smile. Yes, but try making her happy first. Hug and play with her." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven"," Having slipped out of sight, he glances ba ck once more, then ducks into a bush and exchanges his ivy skirt for a pair of l ether leggings from the bundle he is carrying. The toy sword goes into the bundl e as well, and he takes a quartz knife instead, taking a moment to adjust his gr ip on it. " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Salatius"," Leans down and gives Estelanta a hug " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","He's jealous" "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Estelanta"," She frowns, her cries quickly turning t o hiccups as she reaches for the girl " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova"," He looks to the trees where Draven disappe ared.

"Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," She gives Berias a puzzling look Why? I only asked Din for help..." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He sighs and begins to stare at the trees.

She stares at the forest worriedly " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","The first time i killed an animal, it was a deer, and i was five." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","He's proving himself" "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail","We're kind of.... odd at Lorelei.... and w hat's the point of proving? He'll only get himself hurt, and become a burden to everyone..." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He looks back over his shoulder. That's o kay, but he needs metal! Did you forget what happened when you did it with just a bone knife?" "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," He grabs the dead insect and finds another bush to slip back into his skirt, and replaces the knife with the toy sword onc e more. Then he walks between the trees, making his way back towards the camp an d into visible range. " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," Exhaling audibly, he smiles with relief. There you are. You're fine." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Estelanta"," She begins to sniffle, feeling ignored, as her face screws up for another wail Ung... ung..."

nsect near Aba, then straightens himself with a beam of a smile. Look, I did no t get hurt at all! I almost had a deer too, but it ran away." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Estelanta"," She sneezes, shocked away from her cryi ng, and reaches for his finger curiously abababa..." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail"," Eyes wild with anger and worry, she looks up at Draven Dre, why did you do that? You could have gotten badly hurt! Do you really want to be a burden to everyone? Visibly still frustrated, she starts mashing more potatoes forcefully " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova","Don't be so hard on him. If he can hunt, he can help better. But you're right, next time he should protect himself better. He throws the older boy a disapproving glance. " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Salatius","You happy again. Nods and takes out the s hirt, slipping it over Estelanta's head, taking extra time to try to get each ap pendage through the right hole " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," The smile slips from his face as he watche s Aba's face, studying her reaction. But why is it okay if Din gets hurt? I don 't understand you, Aba. But...'kay, I stop now. He pokes the dead dragonfly twic e with the tip of his toy sword before storing it away in his bundle, a vague fr own creasing his features. " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail"," She bites her lips, her anger dissipating I'm just... worried about him... back at home, one man would hunt and hunt til l he got badly hurt, and that's all he'd do.

"Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Estelanta"," She grabs his finger and sticks it in h er mouth, gnawing on it expirimentally and gurgling " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail","She looks back up at Draven*But Dra, Din d idn't really get hurt, and he was careful... you were not." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Salatius"," Stops trying to get Estelanta into the s hirt and watches her suck on his finger That not good, little sis.

"Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He walks over to Draven, positioning himse lf in front of him. Now, listen. I made strong axe and a strong helmet from met al to help me, and Berias was still worried. He was worried because he cares, an d doesn't want me to get hurt, even when I am strong. Your sister cares a lot fo r you, so she doesn't want to see you hurt! Caring for her is bigger than huntin g or anything else!" "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail","Okay Draven, sorry I got mad at you. Just ... She sighs, and continues to work on the potatoes, not finishing her sentence " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," A little red in the face, he continues a b it louder. Being strong is... making people happy!" "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Estelanta"," She smiles with her one tooth, her tiny stomach growling loudly uuuuung..." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Asphodel"," Sighing, she walks a short distance away , out of earshot of the others.

Reaches for the wood too lbox with his free hand from where he's sitting and takes out a chunk of mashed potatoes This good.

Burbling happily she gulps down the food, cla pping her hands and smiling " "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," He makes an effort to adjust his helmet on ce more, then dips a somewhat hesitant nod towards Dinova. 'kay... will you sho w me how to make a strong axe and strong helmet? Then he glances back to Aba, an d his features soften a bit, lips curving into another smile. Its'kay, Aba. I k now you were not really angry." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," He gives the girl a quick hug before risin

g, and moves between the babies and other children towards Melian. Having reache d her, he brings his face very close to her ear, a stray curl brushing against h er cheek, and whispers very quietly. I tell you a secret, ma-mama. When I'm big , I kill Ewon. I'm not weak like dada..." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," With a somewhat unhappy expression on his face, his hand goes into his pocket. I only have a little iron left. He lets ou t a heavy sigh. You're big brother's little one, and you need it, so... I'll he lp you make an axe with it." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," He walks back to Dinova and Aba, offering the boy a warm smile. Thank you Din. You're really nice! Look, I give you somet hing too... He reaches into his bundle and rummages around a bit before he retri eves two large, wrapped leaves that contain a portion of salve each. I took thi s from Lorelei... but I think you need it more." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He gives the boy a small smile in return. Thanks. Do you have a hammer? If not, you could ask Berias to lend you one for a bit." "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius","He suddenly jerks awake with a start and a fit of violent, racking coughs, his tiny hands balling into fists. He twists against the ground and dry heaves a few times, spasming, desperate cries catchin g in his throat too quickly to be released before he convulses again. Finally he lies still, tense and shaking, then begins to wail loudly" "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He sighs, his face growing worried. Oh no , not again! He hurries over to the crying baby, picking it up. There there, li ttle one!" "Lote, 73 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius","He reaches out, grasping the older boy's hand and pulling it toward his mouth, his tiny legs kicking in the air.

She frowns, picking him up, rocking him gently. I don't know what to do about this one. He is always so sic k, so sick. I should find better medicine for him, somewhere." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","Ahhh. Estelanta. You finally woke up. I knew you would. She rubs her head gently. " "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Salatius"," Leans down and hugs Estelanta again Litt le sis. Smiles at her, then walks back to the branch he's working with " "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," Looking at the four oldest children, she si ts down for a moment by the kiln and waves to them to gather around. Let me tel l you something, children." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","His hands reach up toward the sound of hi s mother's voice, eyes drifting about before finally settling on her face. He br ushes his fingertips over her jaw and grasping for her hair as a bit of saliva r uns down the side of his face. He whines again, scrunching up his face in discom fort, but doesn't begin to cry." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","The way they do things at Lorelei is wrong, I think. I have always thought we should hunt the animals and try to become bett er at hunting, and stronger. I always tried to do that myself. That is why your mother, and she points at Abagail and Draven with a strange grin, asked me to t ake care of Ewon a few years ago. She knew I was the only one with enough power to do it." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," He walks over to his mother, holding out on e of the leaves with calcium salve from Draven. Draven said this is medicine fr om Lorelei. It smells different from what we use. Maybe it would help?" "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","I am known among all the Kindred as the best hunter there is, though lately I have not been hunting as much as I should be. She laughs. But it's no matter. I feel myself getting old. It is you children w

ho must become strong, and then your children must become strong as well." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","Yes, Dinova. I think it is the most powerful medicine I have ever seen. I wish we could dig tunnels here, and I would show i t to you, but unfortunately we have none. She frowns for a moment. It will help you get better much faster after a long day of hunting." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," He nods, slowly and solemnly, his hand glid ing down to the axe at his side. Strong... keep everyone save and happy... Oh y eah, there it is. He hands one of the leaves to his mother. " "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","This is what I feel about things, so listen closely to what I have to say. Strength. Skill. Power... Power is a tool. It can help you or hurt you, and you can use it to do good things or bad things. My br other Damien used it to do bad things. He used his skill to threaten Sofia, to f ight me, to beat up Broden." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Camelia"," She wakes up, looks around drowsily, then starts to cry. " "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","Broden, I think, is the reason why Lorelei i s a strange place. He doesn't like it when people hunt, so people at Lorelei are not strong. But when something bad happens, what does Sofia do? She comes to -m e- and asks me to do something. Why? Because I have power. Power is what allows the weak to live safely. The strong protect the weak." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Eglanmira","Eglanmira wakes, yawning and looking arou nd." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","Not everyone is suited to being a strong hun ter. Some people are just weak. But these people should not tell others what to do... Well... in the end, you have to decide what you want to do for yourself." "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," He looks up at his mother, an unusually shy smile on his face. You don't need to tell us, Mama. You show us every day what being strong and good is. We'll always be good, because you showed us!" "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," She reaches out and pulls Camelia into her lap as well, looking down at her. What's the matter, Cam? You hungry?" "Lote, 73 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","He becomes very quiet, face going slack a s he lets his head loll, eyes still on Melian as he blinks slowly."

"Lote, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian"," She turns her head to the side a bit, lo oking at Abagail strangely. I bore a grudge against Damien for what he did to m y children. Though Damien and his children were dead, his son lived on... Ewon. I wanted to kill him, I truly did. When Sofia asked me to kill him, I came to Lo relei eager at the chance. I went to Frost Mountain and waited for him. I though t it was him coming down the road... but it was only his daughter, Cailin. I bea t up his children as a warning and left..." "Lote, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian","And now I have no real desire to go kill Ewon at the moment. Hinrod... is too weak to do it. But... perhaps the new child ren can do it.

" "Lote, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Abagail","So... Ewon's bad because his father was bad? Zosime told me Ewon hurt Mama and her... And I remember... Her eyes turn v icious I remember Ewon hurting Dada.

Me and Draven will become strong... good strong, and. .. she casts a sidelong glance to the northwest do whatever we need to." "Lote, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Melian"," Slowly, her head lowers until her gaze i s level with Dinova. A dark look crawls over her face, and a very small, wicked smile curls the edges of her lips. Being strong has its downsides. The more you do it, Din, the easier it gets... until eventually you decide you can solve all your problems that way. Well. That is what happened to me, anyway." "Lote, 73 - Afternoon, hr 8","Dinova"," He turns his eyes away, his gaze growing distant again. Then that means that being strong, REALLY strong, is finding a way not to use your power. He sighs. Mama... with all the little ones to help m e... I want to be so strong that we never have to fight. I think... that's what being strong means. We can do better than that, I know it!"

Picking up two pairs of little hide shoes, she goes over to Perintius and carefully slip t hem onto his feet. She then removes the jelly from the meat she'd roasted earlie r and gives it to him.

Whenever he shifts his position, the shadow of a pained grimace flashes across his face, but he ma kes no sound. "

"Elen, 76 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Draven, i have something for you." "Elen, 76 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He hands draven a long obejct wrapped in tanned leather. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail","Seashell Bowl has been constructed" "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven","Cooked Crab Meat has been constructed" "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven"," He lifts his eyes from the fire with an inquiring look towards Berias, then looks back down at the leather bundle which is now resting across his legs. He just stares at it for a flicker of a moment, as if unsure what to make of it. Uh, for me? He asks then, and scratches his h ead, watching Berias' face. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven"," His curiosity seems to get the better o f him then, and he begins opening the bundle before he receives an answer. As he pulls the leather back, and the pale moonlight causes the sword to gleam, his e yes widen, and his jaw drops a little at the sight of the steel longsword. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail"," She looks at the corpses apathetically Make sure not to kill too many things, guys... We don't want to wipe out our little food source." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven"," He is brought back from his shock of su rprise by Aba's voice, and manages a quick smile. Don't worry Aba, I don't kill -everything-. This meat will be good until Mama and Papa come. Turning his atte ntion back to Berias, he traces a finger over the smooth metal absently. Why ar e you giving me this?" "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail"," She shrugs slightly, stabbing a piece of meat with her spear and holding it over the dying fire " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He looks at Draven intently, his eye dr ifting about. That axe will only last so long, you need something stronger if y ou have any hopes of hunting bigger things." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven","Well, uh... thanks, but... He clears his throat, and glances back towards the fire. YOU could be the one hunting bigger things, why give it to me?" "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Because that's not my sword." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail"," Not looking away from the flame, she a ddresses Berias Who's is it, then?" "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Oh, i made it, it's not as if i took it. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail"," She takes on a confused tone But... w ouldn't that mean it's your sword, if you made it...?" "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I don't claim ownership of it, it's Drav ens sword, i simply made it." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail","Oh... She shakes her head, then focuses her attention back on the cooking meat " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven"," His gaze flicks between Berias and Aba now, and he hardly dares to glance down at the sword. His fingers continue to tr ail across it, however. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven","Uh... thanks... that's really nice of yo u! But why did you make a sword for me? He scratches his head again, seeming par ticularly annoyed by one large curl that just insists on hanging into his face. I mean, we've never been friends, uh... not close friends." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He stares at Draven intently for a whil e, then begins to speak. Mama says you have no hunters where you come from, and a good hunter needs a sword." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven","Did ma-mama... I mean, your mama tell yo u to give me this? He finally picks up the sword along with the leather wrapping that still covers its sharp edges, and just holds it upon his hands for some ti me. A smile crawls across his face, eyes full of admiration for the gleaming ste el. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","No, i did this on my own." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," has killed falcon" "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven"," He nods faintly, a look of vague confus ion flashing across his face briefly. Then he stands up, shifting his weight fro

m one foot to the other before he moves in, and hugs the other boy after a momen t of insecure hesitation. Thanks Berias! You're great! You're my new best frien d. He runs the few steps back to the sword then, and frees it from the leather c over eagerly to take a few test swings against empty air. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail"," She turns awy from the fire for a mome nt to smile at Berias That was very thoughtful of you." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," A flash of pain crosses his face wfter the boy hugs him, when it fades he returns to his work on the chisel. " "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," Without looking up, he speaks to Abagai l. I didn't do it to be nice." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail"," She stares in the fire once more, unde terred by Berias response Well, even if you didn't mean for it to be nice... it still was. Thanks for helping Dra out." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Draven"," Finally exhausted by his swordplay agai nst invisible foes, Draven wraps the sword up again, then carries it over toward s Aba, and settles down next to her. He just quietly looks at her for a moment b efore speaking. Aba, sometimes I think you're mad at me, and then I think you'r e not, it's confusing..." "Gurtha, 76 - Midnight, hr 1","Abagail"," She glances quickly towards him I'm n ot mad at you, Dra... why would you think that?" "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Draven","Cooked Meat has been constructed" "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Draven","Cooked Crab Meat has been constructed " "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Draven"," He studies her face intently before answering Uh, I don't know... sometimes you act a bit... strange." "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail","Strange? Oh... don't worry, Dra, I' m not mad at you. I just... She tries to spear another piece of meat. However she misses, somewhat to her surprize. She picks up the meat and carefully place s in on the spear tip, and holds the meat over the fire. After a moment, she co ntinues Sometimes I just feel weird. Don't worry about it, okay?" "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Draven","Uh? Weird? He frowns a bit, then give s a very faint nod after all, and his ashen gaze flicks towards a medium-sized r ock not too far off on the plains. Sometimes I feel weird too." "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail","Oh, really? She perks up a bit That 's good... I, i mean, that's not good, but... uh... I'm just glad I'm not the on ly one. She smiles a bit " "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Draven","Yeah... He mumbles, simply, then fall s strangely quiet, and just pokes the still roasting meat with his sharpened woo d stick, rather absently. " "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He looks up at draven for a moment, scratching his head. After a while he chuckles a little and returns to his work. " "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail"," Noticing the boy's odd response, sh e looks at him confusedly What's wrong? Did I say something bad?" "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He jumps a little at the girls voice . N-no, it's nothing, i just had a realisation is all." "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail","Hmmm.... She stares at Berias for a bit, then Draven, then back to the fire, frustrated that she's missing something " "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Draven","Huh? Realisation? He glances back up at Berias, looking about as puzzled as he was at the sight of the sword in his l ap. " "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","It's nothing, never mind i said anyth ing." "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail"," She addresses Draven, still staring intently at the fire If you feel weird, you should eat. Because if you feel w eird for too long, you might get sick... I think. She shrugs, then points tot he bowl I put some food in there, if anyone's hungry." "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Draven"," He directs a flash of a smile at Aba without fully looking at her, just half-glancing, half-squinting sidelong. Then

he returns to poking the meat with his stick. I just had food... but we'll sav e it for later,'kay?" "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail","Alright then... Her eyes looking dis tant, she stares more at the ground than the fire, the arm holding out her spear drooping a bit " "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 3","Draven","Cooked Meat has been constructed" "Gurtha, 76 - Before dawn, hr 3","Abagail"," Her arm drops suddenly, the meat fa lling into the fire. She snaps out of it, and cursing under her breath, she fis hes the now-ashy meat out of the brush. The fire's almost gone... I think I can cook some more, though. She nods slightly, picking up another piece of meat and holding it over the dying flame, focusing on keeping her arm steady " "Gurtha, 76 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven","Cooked Meat has been constructed" "Gurtha, 76 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," She reorganizes her bundle, finally pla cing a basket on the ground Here, we can put some food in here, for the time be ing."

Hey Draven, you want to be a hunter, right?" "Gurtha, 76 - Evening, hr 10","Draven","Uh... I dunno. He stares into his fire, warming his hands over the smoldering remains of it. Right now I just wanna gro w up and find a nice new place with mama and papa. Later, maybe..."

Then he opens his journal, and begins to draw. " "Vasa, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail"," Noticing Dre's poor excuse for a blan ket, she hands him her blanket If you're cold, Dra, you can use this. She looks around once again We should probably make a shelter to protect us, but... I do n't think we have enough hide to make a tent..." "Vasa, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He nods at Draven in thanks, and pits on the armor, flexing to test its fit.

"Vasa, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He looks at Abagail for a minute, then shrugs. Alright." "Vasa, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail"," She stops her work for a moment I me an... uh, you can do what you want, I'm not trying to boss you around, just... S he bites her lip a bit I'm just worried about you, okay? She nods, then gets ba ck to work on the cream " "Vasa, 76 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He looks at Abagail, scratching at the scar on his face. Why would you worry about me?" "Vasa, 76 - Before dawn, hr 3","Abagail"," She smiles Because... well, just bec ause." "Vasa, 76 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He continues looking at her, a quizica l look on his face.

"Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven","Strange and good-looking... He mumbles, an d nods faintly to himself as he stacks another shell on top of the others. " "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I don't really care that much what other p eople think." "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He looks at draven, then turns backa roun d, mumbling. Big words for a guy who looks like a girl...." "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail","I didn't say to care about what other peo ple think, maybe just give your own thinking a... er, rethinking, so to say. She smiles Then again, everything's up to you in the end, so you don't have to lis ten to me. She hsakes her head Sorry if Im being a bit pushy." "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," Without turning around, he shurgs. " "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," She looks at Berias with a hint of sadne ss in her eyes, then returns to work on her own wall " "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven","Girl? He is suddenly alert again, and whir ls around to face Berias, a flash of anger in his eyes. Then he pushes his vest upwards, revealing a broad, muscular chest. " "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," Without turning to face him, he speaks. You heard what i said." "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven"," He ignores Berias' new remark, and turns to Aba instead, patting his chest with one hand. Aba, do I look like a girl? He snorts softly, and watches her face carefully. " "Kuile, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven"," As his sister does not immediately respon d, and goosebumps start to appear upon his revealed chest, Draven pulls the vest back down with a single, forceful movement.

I don't think he likes being told he looks like a girl. Oh. She hands Berias her hammer You nee d this to help with the shells. I'll make another.

"Lote, 77 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail"," She shrugs It's possible... I mean, he DID leave the directions with me. That, or he's just waiting until all of th e children are grown up... which will take another couple years. She glances to the north, then sighs Why? Did you want to go elsewhere?" "Lote, 77 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail"," She picks some food out of the basket , then looks in a for a while Looks like we'll need to get more food again soon ... Moving away from the house, she begins to prepare some cheese " "Lote, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I was just wondering what was takeing him s o long to get back." "Lote, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail","Who knows. I figured it was going to be a while, though...

"Lote, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven","I have an idea why it's taking so long. Why it always takes so long. He rolls his eyes briefly, then inspects a large shell before fitting it into the wall section he is working on. " "Lote, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail","Hmm? Why do you think, Dra? She gives him a puzzled look " "Lote, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven"," He gives a vague shrug, his attention seem ingly focused on the work. It's Lore-drama-lei. Zos and Tee probably have babie s, and they spend a year discussing if they want to leave them or not, and mama argues with Ewon, and the others discuss and disagree for a year too and then th ey spend another year deciding what things they want to bring along..." "Lote, 77 - Afternoon, hr 8","Abagail","Cheese has been constructed" "Lote, 77 - Evening, hr 10","Abagail"," She chuckles a bit Yeah, probably.

He turns and looks over the surrou ndings, nibbling lightly upon his bottom lip. But I don't have an idea right no w. Then he stretches his arms and grins into the sunrise. It's REAL WARM today! I want to go into the water. He takes his helmet off, then begins running a few steps towards the beach before he suddenly turns back again, a thoughtful look on his face. If they don't come soon, we could leave a note here and go back to Ma-mama... He shrugs his broad shoulders briefly. It would be nice to have mor e people around." "Urnu, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven","Berias, wanna come too? He turns back to th e beach then, runs the rest of the way, and takes his things off. After having r evealed his smoothly muscled backside, he jumps into the waves, laughing with gl ee as the first one hits him. " "Urnu, 77 - Evening, hr 11","Abagail"," She watches Draven play in the water wit h a smile on her face " "Naur, 77 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He looks at Draven, then the figures m oving under the water.

He glances to Berias for a lingering moment before he p icks his pants up, rather slowly. Huh? They never do anything when I sit at the beach... why would being in the water change anything?" "Naur, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Draven"," He slips into his pants as slowly as h e picked them up, and takes a moment to flex the smooth muscles of his left arm before he reaches for the vest. While still getting dressed, he asks without loo king up Aba, you don't want to go? The water is really nice." "Naur, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Abagail","That's alright, I think I'll stay here . She smiles at bit, then gets back to work on the hut " "Naur, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Draven","Why? He asks as he pulls the vest over his head. You don't know how nice the water is until you tried it! He picks up the rest of his things then, and walks back up to the makeshift camp barefooted. " "Naur, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Abagail","Oh, fine. She gets up, and walks slowl y to the water. She takes off her shoes, and cautiously steps into the water. Then she stands there, staring at the water ahead of her somewhat frightfully " "Naur, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Draven"," He starts to watch the girl intently a s soon as her back is turned to him, his eyes trailing after her movements. He l ifts a hand to his mouth as she stops, calling out to her. It's much nicer if y ou take some things off! And nothing bites you at all." "Naur, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Abagail"," She bites her lip a bit, looking back anf forth between Dre and the water I don't know, the water looks kind of viol ent... She points to the tiny waves hitting her feet " "Naur, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven","It's alright! Just don't go in too far. And if anything happens, I'll come save you! He grins at that, and rests his chin u pon the partially finished house wall now as he watches her, the grin lingering. " "Naur, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail","Okay... She shrugs a bit, then takes off h er clothes, placing them haphazardly near her shoes. She walks slowly into the water, then squats down when she's about waist length. She turns around and smi les Hey, it is pretty nice!" "Naur, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven","Told you! His grin deepens for a flicker of a moment as the girl takes her clothes off, and he rubs his nose, then just con tinues watching quietly. " "Naur, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," After a few moments or generally sitting int he same place, she comes back out of the water, grabbing her clothes slowly. Noting Draven still watching her, her face turns red and she quickly puts her

clothes back on Yeah, it is nice. Usually it'd be too cold..." "Naur, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," Haveing watched what happened, he sighs to himself a little. I'm going to go enjoy the rain, you two can work on the hut for a while. Standing up, he walks over to this hill and lies down on it. " "Naur, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail","Alright then. She smiles a bit, then picks up her hammer and begins to work on one of the hut's walls " "Naur, 77 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He yawns and rolls over on his stomach, rev ealing a multitude of poorly healed scars and bruises on his back. " "Elen, 77 - Afternoon, hr 9","Draven","Uh, Aba.. he scratches his head as he gla nces over. If mama and papa don't come real soon, would you be'kay with leaving a message here and waiting with ma-mama? Would be less quiet..." "Gurtha, 77 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail","It's up to you, Dra. I don't mind t he quiet, but, we could go back. She shrugs Or maybe we could go back and get t hem ourselves in Lorelei." "Gurtha, 77 - Before dawn, hr 2","Abagail"," She passes Dre a hammer Here, this 'll help get the shells in, it's be easier to use then just your hands. She smil es, then begins to set aside some larger shells for the roof " "Gurtha, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Draven","I'm not going back to Lorelei, He mum bles with a low tone. He closes his eyes briefly, and as they open up again, the re is a brief flicker of almost savage anger within them. But it quickly fades, and a small smile curves his lips instead as he casts a glance northwards. I'd like to go... do we have anything more solid than animal hide to write a note wi th? Something that doesn't go bad in the weather. Or maybe we could write someth ing inside the cave." "Gurtha, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Abagail","We can carve something in the clay.. ." "Gurtha, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Draven","Maybe, yes I think that could work. I nside the cave? He points over his shoulder with a thumb. Or out here?" "Gurtha, 77 - Before dawn, hr 3","Abagail","...Out here, I guess." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven"," He considers the nearly finished hut for a moment, then shrugs, and picks up another shell from the pile. We worked on this so long, we could as well finish it and sit inside once before we go..." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," She nods distractingly Hmm... She turn s for Berias Do you watn to go back to your mother's Berias, or stay here?" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," After a moment, she shakes her head Yo u don't need to write anything, Dra. I'm going to stay here." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven"," He gives Aba an almost startled look, hi s attention flicking back towards her very suddenly. Stay here? Why don't you w ant to come with me? It would be more fun, and it's less cold to travel than to sit here." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," She shrugs I just want to stay here. When Papa and the others come, I'll come and get you, okay? I'm sure some of Ma -mama's children will want to come, too, so it'll be good if you go back." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven","Oh... He looks clearly disappointed now I thought you would come too..." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail"," She smiles an obviously fake smile Don 't worry, it won't be long, okay? Besides, I bet you want to see Mira again, do n't you?" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven","I, uh... He frowns now, and wets his lips absently before continuing. I want to see ALL of them again, don't you?" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail","Of course I do. Which is why I'll see t hem again when I come to get you. She nods " "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Draven"," His frown deepens as he turns back to th e house, and just traces his fingers over the shell he is holding, without actua lly placing it. She's probably sleeping anyway. She was sleeping when we left, too." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Abagail","I thought you wanted to see ALL of them. Besides, if she kept sleeping, Ma-mama would have... Her voice trails off for a moment If she's awake, I'm sure she'll be glad to see you, Dra." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He mumbles and stands up, covered in sno

w. How long was i asleep for?" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail"," She stifles a giggle A while... Sorry, I didn't want to wake you. Hey... She gives him a serious look Do you wantto go back to your mother's to wait for Hinrod?" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," Clumsily putting his clothes back on, he brushes some snow off of his head. I'd rather stay here, see if we can maybe g et iron out of the mine" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail","Uh... do you even have a pick?" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","no, but i've been trying to figure out ho w to make one" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail","Well, Dra's is made out of copper, and I think you need heat to make it... like the kiln back at Ma-mama's." "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","But i can make copper armor without a for ge, i just can't figure out how to make a pick" "Gurtha, 77 - Sunrise, hr 5","Abagail"," She ponders for a moment, then shrugs I don't really know, either..." "Gurtha, 77 - Midday, hr 7","Abagail"," She makes a gesture towards Draven Mayb e you could ask Dra to borrow his for the time being."

I've been wearing these for some time but they should still be good. Might be warmer.

"Rosa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven","It is mostly the decision of our parents. B ut I'm sure they will not want to do anything that could possibly lead to a less than peaceful life." "Rosa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Mira wants to come because Aba told her to look after me, Mira has taken it to heart. She thinks you'll try and hurt me." "Rosa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Draven","Oh?

It was just a wolf. A weak animal eating even wea ker ones, that would have killed me on chance. There is no need to eat its insid es." "Naur, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I don't vomit blood that often, only when a dire wolf nearly makes my insides my outside." "Naur, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Bad things like what?"

"Naur, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova","o matter what happens, I have the best weap on in the world to face it. He laughs lightheartedly before spotting some moveme nt out of the corner of his eye.

" "Naur, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime","I hate them. I hate looking at them. I ha te smelling them. She sucks some taste of her fingers. " "Naur, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova"," He laughs again. Silly, my sword was made by Papa! He's the best smith there is, and he made it with love for the best fi

"Naur, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," he pauses to glance up at Berias, and chuckles It could be worse, at least you've a sheath to protect yours from the elements." "Naur, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir","Whomever left this pick on the ground, ple ase be more careful. He picks it up and drops it in the barrel We don't want to have it rot away."

"Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," hefting his blade, he slowly stride s over to one Let's see if these things are as tough as I remember..." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," has killed The Massive Leech" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he swings out at the monster, thoug

h his weapon bounces off it's skin. The creature turns, latching onto it's leg. Grunting in pain, he stabs his sword downwards, splitting it in two. A shower of blood erupts from the wound, and the creature falls back " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","Hrm...that was almost too easy. Give it a shot, Berias. I'll have your back if it gets lucky with you." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he kneels down, pulling his bone kn ife from it's place on his leggings. He uses it to slice open the beast, tearing out the entrails. He slowly places them into one of his bags before standing ag ain " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Uhh, ok i guess, but i'm not really at fu ll strength anyhow right now." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," has killed The Toothy worms" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He prods the worm with his sword, causin g it to turn and vault at his head, he brings his sword up and cleaves it clean in half. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Huh, i guess the first one just got a few lucky hits on me." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he claps Berias on the back, though gently so as to not aggrivate the wounds he has incurred Come on, after I've g ot the entrails, we'll head back and get you patched up, That was a nice kill." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","((OOC: Unless you were already Badly Hurt, and I'm just a dummy, then he makes no mention of injuries.))" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," pulling the bone knife from it's lo op on his leggings once more, he drops to a knee and begins to cut out the intes tines of the worm, placing them in one of his bags. It's...disgusting, but prob ably filling. They're pretty big, after all." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He smiles. Thanks, and like i said i wa s already wounded when we came down here." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He prods the nearby dead and gutted worm with his finger, getting slime on. He brings his finger up to his mouth and tas tes it. Huh, that's not too bad." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," standing, he wipes the blood off on his already bloody leggings Right. Let's go see about tending to those injurie s, and I'm sure Rain'll want to hear about that. It takes some skill to hit some thing as it jumps at you." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Ok, meet you there." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks to the west" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks to the north" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks to the east" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks to the east" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks to the south" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Hey Speck, about your name again. you can give yourself a name based on what you love or hate, y'know." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he steps out of the mines, covered in blood and slime, though his weapon is covered by it the most. Grinning, he ta kes a bite out of some strange intestines he's holding. Not...bad. Want any of this, Berias? he grins, wiping some blood and slime from his cheek " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," at the name comment, his smile fade s I know. But I gave up the right to choosing my own name when I left home. It' s...better that way, anyhow." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shrugs. Sure, why now. I've survived on less." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Don't think of it as a name then, think o f it as... a title!" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he pulls some entrails from his str aw sack, and laughs Ack, I've got the juices on all the meat I was keeping in t here, and my map. That's... a little gross. with a nonchalant shrug, he hands th e entrails to Berias "

"Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," taking another bite from the entrai ls he grins and swallows before speaking I like the name Speck, actually." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He examines the entrails, and then stuff s them all in his mouth at once. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," Talking through a full mouth, he says. Buh youth don't even knowth why i call you sthpeck." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he grins, finishing off the last of the entrails. He then begins to try and clean the blood and slime from his blad e on his leggings, to little effect That doesn't mean I can't like the name. Bu t why do you call me Speck?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He swallows the entrails, and takes a de ep breathe. Because you hold yourself in such high standards, when we're all ju st specks in the first place." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he blinks, taken aback, and then sm iles easily I suppose that describes me, it's as good a name as any." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He tries stifling a laugh, but it breaks out. I'm just messing with your head, it's because you looked so tiny when i w as way up in the tree," "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Although i guess one reason is as good as any other." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","A name is a name. he muses, smiling as he uses his index finger to wipe some more slime and blood from his face. He then plants his sword in the ground, picking up the wood and pulling the bone kn ife from it's place strapped to his leg That was fun, though...I hadn't hunted at all since I arrived here." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Morrain"," She looks up from the oven No-brudda i s No-brudda!" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","I find it a good way to relax, although m ost people assume it does the exact oppsite." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he smiles at Rain I've a lot of na mes now, it seems. And, he nods to Berias, suddenly taking on a tone of utmost s eriousness Yes, I used to take out my anger with the others on the creatures th at inhabited the plains by my home...it's how I've learned to fight so well, and how I gathered enough food to truly provide for us all." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She rubs her eyes with a grown before the blue orbs open wide. Oh my.. I have to deliver this!" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","walks into the Underground Dirt House" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Man, it's about time she woke up." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He turns around quickly and vomits up th e entrails he just ate, along with a healthy amount of blood. eughh, i think i' m bleeding inside." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Morrain"," She looks in the oven and pokes the mea t with her knife before looking up again Hey No-brudda, you should see Mama. M ama can name you and den make you Brudda." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He peels his armor off and examines the still healing crooked gach on his stomach, then looks over at Morrain. Speck ha s a name now. Speck" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he chuckles You may call me whatev er you want to call me, little Rain. And...who is your mama?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Morrain"," She stares down at the pool of vomit . ..Beri, you no-berry too?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Broden","has foraged lily" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain","Roasted Meat has been constructed" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He wipes his mouth off and adresses Spec k. Our mama is a powerfull hunter, she can kill anyhting." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he then blinks and turns his attent ion to Berias You should do something about that injury, Berias, I think that h unting made it worse. If I had any poppy cream left, I'd give it to you, but it rotted away while I was at the Green Leaf tavern." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain","Mama is Mama. she thinks for a minute an

d then adds She's over dere. She points to the southeast " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he smiles and nods, still carving Well, perhaps I shall go to meet her before I leave to return home." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks out of the Underground Dirt House " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," Walks out side looking around seemign confused.. What do I do now..." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Hey Mira, it's about time you woke up, do you want to stay here in Loerlei?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he looks up at the girl If you've truly no idea as to what to do, I can teach you how to carve a flute...though, I 'm almost done, so you won't learn much. he smiles and then shrugs Though you p robably actually do have something to do, and you're only saying that so you'll remember." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Miratine, this is Speck." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I'd like to for a while.. I'd like to m eet everyone..." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Well.... He fiddles with his bracelet. . .I was thinking we could live here instead?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Hello speck. If you don't mind showing me.. I'd like that very much. She nods smiling light shining in her bright blue eyes. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Really! Do you think mama would mind" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Well....I'm not sure, but i think it's wh at i'm going to do either way." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he gives a nod Very well, take a s eat...and sorry for any blood and slime that gets on you, hasn't dried yet. he p auses to make a particularly difficult cut into the wood, carving a hole into th e already hollow wooden tube If you've a knife to use, it'll be a bit helpful." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I wouldn't mind staying here with you B erias.. I don't want you to be alone." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles. Don't let me keep you here, if want to go back home, go ahead." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I.. don't.. want to go home right away. her hand trails over the mask upon her head faintly. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","i don't know if I evr want to go back t here..." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," her eyes stay on Speck as he carves th e flute " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Elvi","walks out of the Underground Dirt House" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Sp Speck,a re you sure thats the name you want? You could have a title as well, you know." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","See...I started with a block of wood , and I cut it down to a little cylinder...then I hollowed that out. he pauses, holding up the hollow tube. It is nowhere near a perfect carving, being quite cr ooked and with an angle or two where he did not cut through all the way Now wha t I'm doing is digging holes into it, all on one side. That needs to be done jus t... he pauses, using the tip of his old bone knife to cut a small incision into one side of the tube ...right, or it will sound wrong." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She nods We don't want it to sound ba d. She shakes her head That wouldn't be good." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he glances at Berias Just Speck is fine. Perhaps someday, I'll earn my old name back, too. And then Speck can be m y...title, whatever that is." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","A title... He seems to struggle to get a word out. ...It's like a name that tells people about you, it could be anyhting from TreeClimber, to Wolfkiller" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he smiles at Berias I see. Then th at certainly can't be something I choose, can it? If I did take a title for myse lf, it would feel fake. turning his attention back to the girl who he's showing

the flute to, he shakes his head in agreement But since I've spread the holes o ut just right, and I'll get them just big enough, and have just enough...it shou ld sound alright, at the least. Once I get better at carving, I should be able t o make one that sounds...a lot better than this will." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Well that's not exactly true, as long as you know the title fits you, it's as good as any name." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","We have to try a few times first before it comes out good. I get it" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","Mora!! He runs into the forest, callin g out his sister's name. Mora!! I'm gonna find a bear!!" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","Aye, and this will only be the secon d flute I've ever made. So while it will sound beautiful, I've no doubt it can b e even better. after making several small holes, he raises the tube to his lips, blowing into one of the holes by the end to no result. Frowning, he begins to w iden one of the holes, as he does he looks back to the boy who is speaking of ti tles I've a feeling I see myself a different way than others do, Berias." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," Looking to the little boy, she tilts he r head and then waves a little. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," has killed black bear" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","I don't doubt that, but isn't the point o f leaving one place behind for another to be a different person?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","I plan to return to my home within a year, Berias. At least I think I will, though I do not like it." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She watches the boy fell the black bear with wide eyes and looks at her own little sword. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She glances over at perintius As he ru ns into the woods callign out behind him. Get those bears Peri!" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He shrugs. It's your choice in the end i guess, but if decide to stay, i suggest you choose a title, i'd have one but i don't real;y have one i can think of." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," now beginning to widen another hole , his attention is mostly focused on the flute I shall think of one for you, th en, Berias. Within a year's time." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He charges into the forest with a who op, spear gripped in both hands and his fur blanket draped over him, masking his form. He comes across a bear in no time at all and approaches it carefully, cre eping closer as it sizes it up. Before it can react, he lunges forward and gouge s out one of its eyes with a well placed jab. Enraged, it bellows its agony and charges, just to get another swift jab in the face. Bleeding heavily and nearly blinded, it charges after him, but he doesn't let up, stabbing with his spear an d scrambling out of the bear's reach until it finally falls for the last time. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","I'll hold you to that, Speck." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," her eyes shift between her brotehr and Speck a bit of confusin on her face. With a sigh she settles more comfortably, waiting to hear the sound of the flute. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He laughs triumphantly, shouting a wa rcry to the trees and waving his spear in the air. He pants heavily and bodily r olls the bear over, drawing a knife from his belt as he begins to skin his kill with awkward, hacking slices. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he holds up the flute, two of the h oles slightly wider now, and working on a third Now, earlier the holes were too small, so they couldn't let out any sound. But I'm widening them now, so that t hey can. The way a flute makes music, is the air that you blow into it coming ou t of the holes. It's like...have you ever been in the mountains, and the wind sp eeds through the peaks during a blizzard, and it seems to howl like a wolf? I th ink it may be similar to that. The spirits of the air make noise as they rush th rough things, just as little Peri let out a yell as he ran through the forest a moment ago."

"Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He stops his work on the boots for a mom ent, then looks over at Speck. Spirits?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","I...I can explain those another time . I did so the other day, but that was before you arrived." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She shakes her head I've nevere been to the mountains but the wind howls in the winter off the ocean against our home s.Its like a high pitched sound." "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," After a great deal of pulling, wrestl ing, and a few more cuts, he manages to get the majority of the pelt from the be ar in one piece. He flops it on top of him and his ratty fur blanket, then makes his way back to the camp, staggering somewhat. " "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He struts into camp, hunched over, an d leaps forward in awkward hops. Rrrraaawrrr~ he growls, beneath the pelt, I'm a bear dat ate Peri!! Rrrrrawrrrr!!" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he sets down his knife, wiping bloo d and slime from his hand before picking the knife back up and resuming his work , now widening the fourth hole But, basically...everything has a spirit. We hav e spirits, too. They are what make up our thoughts. Without a spirit, people are just hunks of flesh...unwaking bodies. But even trees, animals, mountains, they all have spirits. Air is nothing more than spirits that have yet to take a phys ical form. he smiles at the girl and nods Yes, like that...when that noise come s, it is because the spirits are yelling for whatever reason. Maybe it's because they don't like spirits of the mountain or spirits of th- as Peri hops into cam p, he tries to hide a chuckle and, in a joking tone, calls out Well you better throw him back up, or I'll need to hunt you for a bit, eh?" "Naur, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She watches her brother with broad amu sement. Oh no .. give peri back!"

Aaaaah~ Sal! I kill'a bear!" "Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He stops working on the boots at sneaks u p behind perentius, and grabs him and lifts him up over his head. I'm a bigger bear! And i love to eat little boys who Pretend to be bears!" "Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he does his best to hide a laugh by raising the unfinished flute to his lips, giving it an experimental blow. This t ime, it lets out a low, hollow note. Smiling, he gives it a small nod as he cont inues to widen the holes " "Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Hi Sal! She waves happily at her twin. " "Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He begins gnawing on Peri's neck, careful l to not cut him with his silver tooth. " "Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," His arms snake out from under the pelt and wrap around Salatius's leg, and he pulls himself closer and fastens his tee th around it as best he can.

"Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," A pretty giggle passes through her lips as Berias lifts perintius above his head.

ground next to him You're getting even stronger, Peri! Begins tickling Perinti us' neck But you can't get away from me." "Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He lets out a shriek of both delight a nd terror, flailing his arms and legs as he tries his best to wriggle out of Ber ias's grip Beri!! Aaahh!! He giggles uncontrollably and grasps at the air. Ber i bigga bear!!" "Naur, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," hearing the low tone of the flute she l ooks back at Speck. It's already starting to sound pretty. She smiles watching him carve the holes delicately.

"Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He peers over at the sleeping Morrain. Di n, you know that those strange fish carry poison, right?" "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He shrugs. The colorful ones? I never bot hered with them. And it's not like Sal's the only one who could use some medicin e." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He shrugs true enough. I was only bringin g the fish up becuase i just spent 25 minutes cotting open boils on Morrains leg

, i just wanted let you know that that's what happens when they bite you." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova","Eww! Well, thanks for helping her, I guess. I'll stick to things that won't poison me then." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He smiles at Dinovas reaction. Where you up here when Speck was telling us about spirits?" "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He tilts his head. The nameless guy? No. What's spirits?" "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","He said everyhting has a spirit, from the t rees to the animals we hunt, and that the wind spirirts are people who don't hav e bodies yet." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","He also says we should respect the spirirts , becuase they give us food and shelter." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","And he said that spirits are inside of us, and thats how we think and live, and without them we would be\"Lifeless husks of flesh\"." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," Frowning he peers over to the nameless tee n. That sounds silly." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","He says it's true thouh! Speck wouldn't lie to me He says as he folds his arms across his chest. " "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He shrugs. Some people believe silly thin gs. It's our own skill and cleverness that gives us food and shelter. And it's t he sickness that won't let some people awake. Mama said so, and she wouldn't lie either. With a little smile he looks towards the southeast. " "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Well how can you know? It's true that by ou r own hard work we make out food, and build our shelter, but that dosen't mean t he spirits don't help. He says with a satisfied looks on his face. " "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova","Then there is no point in believing in them , is there? Obviously they can't hinder us, since they never did when we didn't' honor' them, so what's the point? He shrugs again. If you can't make something yourself, why should you deserve it?" "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","I'm saying they make what we use to make ou r food and homes, i'm not saying they hinder us if we don't respect them, i'm si mply saying it's more of a courtesy." "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova","And how would he he points to the nameless teen know? There's just as much evidence that everything was created by Mama be fore we were born, but you wouldn't believe that, would you? Why would you belie ve some strange story about invisible things from some weird stranger more than your Mama?" "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Well, maybe i like the idea that there are things out there helping us in troubled times,even if it's not so true. He cocks his head at Dinova. " "Elen, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","I'll tell you what i told Draven before he left with Aba. Let me have my delusions." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," His face darkens slightly. There is nothin g helping us, or the world wouldn't be such a horrible place. The only chance we got to make it better is to surpass ourselves all the time. We need to get smar ter and stronger to find better ways, nothing else will work. He shrugs. You ca n think what you want. I'm used to having to do everything by myself by now." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He scratches at his cheek, making a poor at tempt to hide a rapidly growing frown. Although the more i think about it, the more i see that was the wrong thing to say..." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","I'm not even saying they help us, i'm just s aying that they're there and it's nice to say thanks every now and then." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," He smiles up at his older brother. Then sa y thanks to Mama instead. She made you after all." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks din right in teh eye, a serious ex pression on his face. You won't be alone now that i'm here, i'm not leaving aga in." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","I do, every day i'm thankfull Mama made me, it makes just as much sense as thanking spirits."

"Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","But i thank the spirits too, becuase mama ma de me, but she didn't make who i am, the spirits inside me did. Although if i h ad to chose, i'd chose thanking Mama." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," He nods slowly before frowning. Say... wer e you ever together with Abagail and Draven at the same time before coming home? " "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Yeah, why?" "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," He shrugs. Because Draven said so, and I'm still a little confused about the whole thing. Nevermind then." "Elen, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He idly take his shoes off and begins picki ng at small slivers of rock sticking from his feet.

The boy's eyes slowly drift shut as he plays, the music painting a picture of distant mountainpeaks, laden with snow.

" "Gurtha, 79 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Which is why we let them do it again and again untill they learn otherwise, you think i just stuck to dear, or wolves? He turns and moves his hair out of his face, showing a knotted scar going from the bridge of his nose to his right temple, I got this when i was 7, i went after a dire wolf with a wooden spear.

"Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he chuckles I've spent enough night s in the wilderness bleeding out on the forest floor to experience that, Berias. he then glances over at the injured boy You aren't weak, just stupid." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He turns back around to continue working on teh bandage, and adresses Miratine. It's the very reason i gave you that swo rd, Mira."

You would need it to help Din potect our brothers and sisters." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he gives a grim smile, though does n ot look away from the bandage he is working on with Berias. In response to the g irl, he simply states quietly Protecting others is the greatest form of strengt h." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","i forgive you Sal. If you think you are weak then let me give you my strength Sal. .I believe in you.. She brushes his b rown hair again with her fingers. " "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He turns towards Speck with a surprised l ook on his face. Mama says that too." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","That's because it's true." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shrugs. It must be, if two people so different come to the same conclusion." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","Dre and Aba had told me that I was stron ger then them but i never understood until now. It was because iI was willign to protect them with my life." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he continues to work without looking up, responding passively I have never met your mother, so I can not comment."

"Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","We still have the better part of a year Sp eck, theres no rush." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","Perhaps two years, actually. I recent ly reread the note I took on the tablet my sister left me, and if it only takes a year to get back home..." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He grins. And mind you i was promised a title, too." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","Berri whats a Title?" "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He turns to face his siter. It's like a seperate name for yourself, that tells people something about you, lfor instance if you like to hunt wolves, you might call yourself WolfHunter." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","I see beri but I think I'll just stick w ith being called Mira right now She smiles " "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","I've one in mind for you, Berias he r eplies without looking up.

"Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shrugs at his sister. You don't have to have one, but say you've killed hundreds of wolves, wouldn't you want to let people know?" "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He turns to adress Speck, but stops and s peak over his shoulder. If you say so." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","I guess so or maybe how many people I've protected." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","I'd like to let people know how many peo ple I've protected and helped."

"Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles at his sisters comment. I have been getting that a lot recently, i should probably clean myself up. Although i t often leads to animals either ignoring me or thinking i'm one of them, which m akes it easier to hunt." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Mm but then everybody becaomes afraid of you because you look like the scary animals. she chuckles " "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","I tihnk i'm nice enough to make up for loo king scary, if people really want to ge to know me they can put up with it." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","Y'know, I've got a funny story about that, Berias...when we saw you coming on the horizon, everyone thought you were some guy who killed someone or something. So people went to hide in the mines. I actually ended up giving Zosime my word that I'd fight to the last breath to de fend her, and all because you looked so scary come here. he grins " "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Thats true too but its kinda smelly and yucky." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Salatius"," A strange smile suddenly forms on his f ace and he speaks in a weaker version of his normal voice, which, by the end of his statement, becomes raspy and strained as in his previous attempts to speak Hurt sticks are weak. Giggles and stands up in a wobbily fashion, staying on his feet for merely seconds before he falls like a beginner on stilts, crashing hea dfirst into Speck's chest with a muffled grunt " "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Ok, Ok. I get it, i need to wash the blood

out of my hair, but i just think it smells nice, and it helps to keep it out of my face." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","I think he's talkign about the poison st icks morr was making with colorfish poison/" "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She stands up walking over to pull Sal slowly off of Speck.

"Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he does not see the falling boy befo re it's too late. As the two collide, he falls back, and is about to shove Sal o ff before the girl intervenes. For a moment, there is a look of clear irritation in his features, though it quickly fades Aye...he needs rest more than anythin g at this point. Try to keep him laying down, Miratine." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","I'm sorry Speck. i brought More leaves s o we can make some meda for you too if you want. She looks at the wound on his a rm It's the least we can do. She pulls Sal along trying to have him sit down at first and then to lay down" "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he blinks and glances at his shield arm Oh, that. It's fine. he shrugs and continues working. " "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","You sure Speck after carrying Sal it can 't be feelign to good.. She lets the subject drop instead focusing on the cream and her twin " "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","I told you Speck, letting your wounds stay out in the open makes your body stronger." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","It's fine, really." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","berri how are the bandages comign along" "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","I think they should be done in a little un der an hour."

I t should take very little time then." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Thanks" "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stands up to stretch, and hits a low p art of the ceiling with his head. He gives up and stits back down. So Speck, ca n i get a clue as to what the title you have in mind is?" "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," without looking up from his work, he smiles It has to do with being strong, actually. Though most titles probably d o." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He frowns. well that's not much of a clu e." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he grins once more Like I said, I'm still working on it for the most part...it's just a basic idea." "Gurtha, 79 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He shrugs. Alright then." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Leaf Bandage has been constructed" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She hums While standing to stretch s miling when she doesn't even get close to bumping her head I wonder what the we ather is?" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he quickly moves over to help Mir atine with the calcium salve as soon as the bandage is done. Someone should app ly that bandage to Sal. We can remove it and apply a fresh one once it's time to use the salve, since we have enough supplies." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Probably still hailing. He moves over a nd begins to help Mira with the salve. " "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Mira, put the bandage on Sal, we'll kee p working on the salve" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","She places the first bandage careful over the worst of the wounds You'll be better in no time, Sal She smiles compas

sionatley at him." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Salatius"," Closes his eyes more tightly as the bandage is applied, then opens them and surveys the scene for a moment. His eyes are unfocused once more, and they close again quickly. " "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She leans over placign a kiss on his fore head pushign the few strand of hair out of his face. Rest Well Sal." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He quickly looks over his shouldat the north tunnel and puts on a confused look. He...hey Speck, did you hear that?" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","What did you hear beri? She looks up worriedly " "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he frowns and reaches for his swo rd, standing A sort of...banging noise, correct?" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He continues to stare intently at the tunnel. It...it sounds like someone whispering.." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","No, i hear whisper, but there was a ban g, i thought that was just the wierd frog people though." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he frowns I've heard banging in tunnels, before, but only because of the fire rocks that ran through it. Berias, you're more injured than I am. Stay here, I'll check it out." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Can teh frog people talk? I've only hea rd them make funny burping noises." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","It could be soemone mining since we'r e in a mine. her hands still trails oveer the hilt of her own sword. " "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","I can't recall..." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Wait, Speck" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","The frog people?" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he sets down the calcium he is he lping to mix and begins to set off, but stops Yeah, Berias?" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","If you're gonna go, be carefull. I know i can here someone whispering down there.." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","Berias, if anything attacks me, I' ll call out to you. I won't go too far, though. I don't want to get lost." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he smirks, raising his bloodstain ed sword to his brow in a sort of salute. Readjusting his grip on the bone hilt, covered in shoddily cut animal hide, he sets off to the north. " "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","walks to the north" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Maybe i should go with you then, i have it all mapped in my head..." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","To the north and to the west is a mag ma pool thats how I got out when I got lost as long as you find that spot you'll be ok." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Beri be careful.."

She whispers or hear anything..." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Salatius"," His eyes open again and he sits up s lowly, looking around. The eyes aren't sharp, but they have some focus in them. He rubs at his head and frowns a little What's going on here? Where are we?" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Speck, was anyhting down there?" "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he returns covered in blood, slim e, and a strange green goo. Tossing two piles of entrails to the ground, one bei ng more a collection of different creatures and the other being something that c losely resembles the entrails of the creatures he and Berias had hunted earlier I didn't find anything that could talk, but I ran into some green ooze and one of those massive leeches. he gives a small shrug Nothing I couldn't handle." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","But... is till hear the whispering.." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he glances at Sal for a moment, a

nd then returns his attention to Berias What are the whisperings saying?"

"Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Salatius"," Frowns and looks down at all of his wounds, silently examining them Well, how Blinks and nods slowly Oh." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he shakes his head to indicate no But...I can look again, if you'd like. I didn't go very far north, and I only checked part of the west and east alcoves." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","Sal, eat some of those entrails. Y ou need to keep your strength up, and that means getting lots of food in you." "Gurtha, 79 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He stops and stands up, this time bein g carefull not to hit his head.

"Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri","That is to the South East, correct? I promised Berias and little Rain that I would visit, to meet their mother, but I have no intention of staying there. he smiles And, if something happens to prev ent my return or I leave for home, the tent can always be used for other visitor s to stay in, or as a place for people to work out of the cold. he pauses a mome nt to do some more work, and then adds I'm not entirely certain what is needed to make a tent, aside from hides, but once I figure that out I'll begin hunting to replace anything I'll end up using." "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir","Oh... He smiles and shakes his head as he heads back down into the construction site That won't be necessary.

"Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime","Rad's the person to ask about that. Peri, just stick them anywhere I'll tidy them up soon enough... There are spare boxes in Kamiko's house she points if there is no room in anything out here."

I've no difficult y tracking down deer, or even wolf or bear. he blinks at Radimir, and then answe rs with a smirk Well, when he found out I didn't have a name, he was in a tree. I looked so small from where he was, that he decided to call me Speck." "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir"," He carefully sets down the clay amphora I was using this for the mines but we can use it out here for now.

There's little use for them other than tak- he paus es Well, there isn't much use for them, since all they do is run around chatter ing." "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime","The frog people?"

We used to know how but don't any more - and the babies are supposed to get a leather journal on their first birth day from their parents, but we haven't been able to make new ones in a long time ." "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," he smiles That sounds like a good id ea. And, I would tell you how to make leather, but I found this clothing in one of the sarcophagi we had laying around to store things in. It was made before I was born, and I've only seen Kali make anything out of leather. She never told m e how to do so." "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime","I'm going back in.

If not, we can make you something to start one before you leave. They are wonderful becaus e you can write your private thoughts and things you want to remember - and Zos is a good drawer, she will draw you a picture I bet, if you ask her to." "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri","I've had several things similar to jou rnals over the years.

"Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir"," Frowning slightly as he opens his own jou rnal to the last entry I haven't written in a little while, I really should.

H e turns and smiles at Auda Though I don't know that I ever could forget anyway. " "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir"," He looks up at Speck and nods Very smart I think, Speck. It is good to keep records of things I think. Smiles slightly Would you like to see the picture of Auda Zos drew for me? He opens the journal , turning right to the correct page Though please do not read any more than tha t. He holds the book out with a question in his eyes " "Vasa, 79 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," he smiles and and wipes his hands on his leggings, further dirtying them Sure, Radimir, I'd love to see it."

"Ringwe, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he yawns and stands up straight, cracking his back as he slowly makes his way to the edge of the pit. Pulling him self out, he takes a swig from the contents of his drinking horn. Glancing at th e others for a moment, he then makes his way to the pond, careful to keep his di stance from everyone else as he does. Reaching the edge, he hooks the drinking h orn back to it%u2019s spot at his waist and drops to one knee, scooping up some water in his hands and splashing it on his face " "Ringwe, 79 - Afternoon, hr 9","Zosime","You'll be welcome to. ...I no speak fo r the others but if you want to stay I no have a problem with that."

Ok" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he stands from his crouch by the p ond, now somewhat more awake and alert. He turns to Berias, yawning. Hey, Beria s. You went into her house, right? Did you see all those babies?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He snickers. Yeah, she almost had as m any as my Mama." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he raises an eyebrow, and then res ponds in a somewhat unsure tone Really? I've...actually never seen that many ch ildren before. Or, actually, any babies at all. Not since I was little anyhow." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," Suddenly a massive yawn over take his f ace, and he leans against the nearby tree.

"Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he blinks and looks up from his wo rk before standing up straight, brushing the dirt off on his already very dirty leggings Broden, correct?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Broden"," he nods Yeah... uh... he looks at the carp in his hands I, uh, made you this... he walks closer to Speck, holding out the cooked carp in front of him ((OOC: I'll drop it on the ground, to better f acilitate RP, since it's not like Broden's dumping it on his head but it's freel y grabbable))" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Zosime","walks out of the Underground Dirt House" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he blinks in surprise, and then gi ves the older man a nervous smile Uh...thank you, Broden.*he cautiously takes a step forward, and picks up the offered food, flashing another nervous smile."

And I thin k I was a handful of years old when I learned to write. he scans the first page a bit, frowning " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Broden","has foraged algae" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Elvi","has foraged leaves" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime"," Her eyes widen. You're that old?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Broden"," he looks up from the journal, a bit dis tractedly Huh? Oh, yeah, I, I guess... he looks back down, then up once more at Zosime I am Elva's son, after all. And, he glances down she, she died on my birthday. I had forgotten about that. he sighs heavily " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","walks out of the Underground Dirt House" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime","Oh... She goes to him and hugs him. I'm sorry. I no know." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime"," She goes to Kyla and crouched by her. You gonna use your knife or your hammer?"

"Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla"," things for a bit I think I'll use my ham mer" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","I'm ready" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime","Kay, no hurt a frog.

" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","The colors are pretty. she says as she get s ready to throw the hammer " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Broden"," he gives Zosime and Kyla a stricken loo k, then turns back to the pond " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla"," has killed wild turkey" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Broden"," he winces " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","I killed it, I killed it! she says as she looks at the wounds on her right hand and tummy He scratched me! It hurts!" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," he blinks with surprise as he hear s the turkey let out a squeak of pain. Looking up, he blinks several more times in confusion before glancing from the slain turkey to the red-head and the littl e girl. " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla"," turns to the boy Did I do something wron g? And what's your name? I'm Kyla, I'm a hunter now." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime"," She swallows, winces as well. Kay, you did good there. She takes Kyla's hand and kisses it and blows a raspberry on Ky la's stomach. You're kay, Sweety." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime","Now, you gotta member not too hunt too m uch. Only when you -need- to and no when you not feel really really great." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Broden"," he gives Kyla a horrified look, then lo oks up at Zos Zosime! She- he cuts himself off " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," he smiles, though he does not leav e his work No, you did quite well, Kyla. I just...was surprised to see somethin g like that, is all. I've never seen anyone born in Lorelie hunt before." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime","We hunt but only when we need to... Well Brody no hunt." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," after a moment, his eyes widened a s if he's remembered something. He quickly walks over to the edge of the partial ly dug-house, pulling himself out. As he stands, he pulls his bone knife from wh ere it hangs on a leather chord on his leggings I see, Zosime. he then crouches to look the little girl in the eye, though keeping his distance as usual If yo ur mother is OK with it, would you like me to show you how to gather the meat?"

"Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","I'd like that. And I'll remember not to hu nt unless we need to. She was just teaching me in case I needed to know." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime"," She blushes slightly. Kyla's my sister . I'm sure Sofia will be fine with Kyla learning that... and I find it yukky... Just no waste anything. Everything that can be food goes in a box." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," he blinks up at Zosime, and then n ods Alright, then. he stands and slowly walks over to the slain turkey, crouchi ng beside it It's best that you work quickly, before the insides can begin to r ot. The creature is giving up its life to feed you, after all, it does no good f or its sacrifice to be in vain. as he speaks, he places his knife to the turkey' s throat First, you want to make sure that you've allowed the blood to drain. T hat way, he pauses to slit the animal's throat. As the blood begins to drain int o the grass next to his feet, he continues to speak it won't be as messy once y ou start to cut out the parts you can eat." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","Okay." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla"," she nods and she watches him closely " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime"," She looks away. " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," he glances up to see if the little girl understands, and then nods. By now, there should not be much blood left. So you begin by making a quick cut down its stomach. as he speaks, he places his knife at the bottom of the turkey's throat and slowly drags it down to the bott om of the creature's stomach. He then places his knife on the ground beside him, and uses his bare hands to pry open the creature's chest I, personally, eat ev ery part of the creature that I can. It shows respect for the creature's spirit. But you don't have to, a lot of people do not. he studies the innards for a mom ent, and then picks up his knife Now, a turkey does not have much meat, but... he points with the tip of his knife to two different chunks of meat in the creat ure's chest That's what you want." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," using his jagged and worn bone kni fe, he slowly begins to saw a slab of meat from the ribs, eyes narrowing slightl y as he concentrates. True to his word, only a little blood gets on his hands an d arms as he performs this task Now... he finishes, and pulls the piece of meat from the insides of the creatures before plunging his hands in and pulling out the creature's intestines as well. Placing both pieces of food aside, he nods to the girl There's still some meat left. Feel like giving it a try?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime","Remember to check for eggs." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla"," nods That looks like a lot of meat there . continues listening intently " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","Eggs?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla","Sure I'll try gets her knife out and puts her hammer away " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Zosime","Brody, I wanna make a lists of everyone' s birthdays. What you wanna me to put for you?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," he looks up at Zosime and nods Ri ght. Turkey are a bit different than other animals, because they leave eggs. Whi ch you can eat, if you know how to prepare it correctly. he studies the carcass a moment and then adds Usually, I prefer to check their nests first. That way I don't always need to search around inside of them for eggs that aren't even rea lly eggs yet." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla"," she gets down on her knees and eyes the t urkey There should be some meat here she says as she grabs on of the turkeys le gs " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 11","Kyla"," she saws at the leg This is hard. sudden ly the leg snaps off and she falls backwards landing on her back. Holding the tu rkey leg up in the air she shouts I got it!" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Cathal Adri"," he nods There is. You can cut off the entire leg, in fact." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Broden","has foraged algae" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Elvi","has foraged leaves" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Steel Boots has been constructed"

"Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Kyla"," she grins back " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Broden","I... uh... he clearly looks a bit out of sorts, and is staring fixedly at the pond um, the entry, is from the 5th of Va sa, so, let's say, that's my birthday..." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime"," She gives a small nod. Year twenty som ething?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Cathal Adri"," he pauses a moment, studying the t urkey carcass for a moment. He then reaches in, and fishes about for a moment be fore retrieving a mostly formed egg and holding it out to the little girl This is an egg. I've never really figured out how to cook one, but I'm sure someone e lse does." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Kyla"," looks at the old man What's your name?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Kyla"," looks at the egg Wow, neat!" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Broden","Twenty... something... uh... maybe 25... or 24... he perks up a bit when Speck mentions cooking, then yawns and stretche s Something like that..." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Kyla"," takes the egg from him Zos can cook it. What's your name?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Cathal Adri"," he smiles and nods before picking up the meat he's carved and pushing to his feet Yes, and now all of this goes i nto a box until someone can cook it." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Cathal Adri"," as he moves to go place the meat i n a box, he answers over his shoulder I don't have a name, little one. But most people seem to be calling me Speck these days." "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Kyla","Okay" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","Kay, thanks Brody. She gives him a kiss on the cheek " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Cathal Adri"," as he moves over to the boxes he p auses for a moment and stoops to pull the finished steel boots from the kiln. He then places them next to Berias' sleeping form before placing the meat in a sma ll wood box. " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Kyla","Ok, she opens a box to put the meat in to find it full " "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","Kyla, what's your birthday? Do you know, Sweety?" "Ringwe, 79 - Evening, hr 12","Kyla","There we go. Thank you both for teaching m e how to hunt and gather the meat. she yawns I'm sleepy. I'm going inside and t ake a nap."

His voice is still quiet, with very little emotion showing, quit e different from his usual smiles and laughter " "Khelek, 80 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He looks at his feet, a frown on his fa ce. I-i'm sorry, no one would tell me anything about what heppened with the who le situtation, i won't bring it up again..." "Khelek, 80 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir"," He puts his hand on Berias' shoulder, some of the tension leaving him Honestly, if you don't know anything you're in about the same situation I'm in. All I know is Draven killed Cailin, who wouldn 't have raised a hand against him, and Hinrod and Sofia are apparently so okay w ith it they are going to live together still. He shakes his head Cailin was a f ree spirit, different than most of us here. She went her own way, and for that she was killed I think. Tibalt and Zos and Melia and I are trying to make sure that at least in Lorelei, nothing like that ever happens. That is why we are so firm on our rules. But if you didn't know, truely, then I'm not upset at you B erias. The whole situation is muddled and unclear, but for a few plain facts th at make no sense. He shakes his head, perplexed. When he finally does look at B erias it is with a hint of sympathy Don't ever apologize for being different Be rias. Whatever your gift is, embrace it. If I learned anything from Cailin it is that even if you have a very short life, it is better to be who you are than to hide it with a long one. Squeezing Berias' shoulder before letting the young man go. He nods at him, waiting a beat for a response " "Khelek, 80 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He wipes a tear away from his eye, and looks up at Radimir. I need to find Aba, i don't want her to be with Draven if he truly did kill Cailin. Something is wrong with him, i saw it in his eyes so m any times before but never realised it was so bad..." "Khelek, 80 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Maybe it's what the spirit meant by what it said, maybe it'll give me the strength to find Draven..." "Khelek, 80 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he pauses from his work for a mome nt to watch the two talk, though he can barely hear what they are saying, and th en slowly moves away till he is completely incapable of hearing their conversati on as he works. "

"Khelek, 80 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir"," He sighs, looking over at Zos but seei ng she isn't awake Tibalt and I decided we wouldn't go after Draven, but should he ever step foot in Lorelei, he won't be leaving again. His voice is low but t he threat in it is clear I'm not a violent man by any means, and I don't normal ly wish it on others but Berias, though I wish ill to Draven, I have no wish to see you yourself hurt in going after him. And there isn't any way Abagail doesn 't know about who Draven is. From all accounts, she was there and saw it with h er own eyes, as did his mother and father who seem to want to do nothing either. Your killing him may only lead to further retribution on their part on you or any of our family. Do you see how this could quickl escalate? We both would be happy to see Draven taken care of. He narrows his eyes at each mention of the n ame But we have our families to consider, and they come frist. Auda shouldn't be without a mother and father both. Your siblings need their brother. And I t hink you are fast becoming a vital part of Lorelei. He bites his lip but shakes his head It is up to you of course, how you use your gift. I just hope you wil l consider your actions well before taking any."

" "Khelek, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Radimir"," Under his breath to himself And I can 't believe I just told someone not to go after him.

" "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He grimaces slightly at the image discr ibed " "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","It was what Berias? He says gently " "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," Shaking now, he looks at Radimir. It wa s Draven..." "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," His eyes widden Draven?" "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","W-well, i tihnk it was, i know it was one of the Kindred..." "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I looked around, and there where bodies a ll around me, some of them skinned, the skin drying in the sun..." "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","So you think that if you don't learn to control this gift, it will turn you into a monster?" "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," Sitting on the ground and hugging his kn ees tightly, he mutters. I don't know, i don't even know what the\"gift\" is... " "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He looks thoughtful Was there anything else you dreamed of Berias? Any other detail that might help us?" "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He scratches his cheek. Well.....Aba wa s there." "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","She was? What was she doing?" "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Nothing, she was just standing and starin g at me, not at the me i was watching, but right at -me-..." "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","She looked so sad..." "Kuile, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He sighs I think she must love Draven, to stick by him even after he turned out to be so evil. But Berias, I think th is dream means you shouldn't go after them. It won't lead to good. Perhaps... He looks thoughtful " "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He stands up and looks at Radimir, a fierce look in his eyes. I will not let her get her just because she is innocen t, whether or not she loves Draven it's going to get her hurt." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir"," He puts his hands up Please calm do wn Berias. I'm not saying we do nothing. Just let me think for a few moments.* " "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He takes a deep breathe and sits back down. I-i'm sorry Radimir, it just really gets to me that she chose Draven..." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir"," He looks at Berias with some sympath y Ah. You love her then? He gets a faraway look in his eyes Lilly didn't chos e someone else, she just chose to leave. I..know what it is like to see the one you love walk away. He sighs and shakes his head, refocusing on Berias Here is what I think your dream is telling you, are you ready to hear it?" "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He scratches the back of his head. G o ahead..." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Okay. He speaks slowly, thoughtfully I think perhaps you are meant to go on a journal Berias. Whether with someone else or not, you need to go somewhere and spend some time with yourself, getting to know this anger inside of you, and this gift as well. Once you have full co ntrol of yourself and who you are, you won't be stopable, but you also won't hur t someone who isn't meant to be hurt, because who else could those bodies have b een but innocent people? Even if you capture or kill Draven, you cannot hurt an yone else in the process unless they try to hurt you first. He looks the other b oy in the eyes I might recommend Frost Mountain. I left my tent up there with

an oven, and there are mines to sit by yourself in, as well as plenty to make yo ur food from. It is as safe as one can make a place and it was my home, and Cai lins, right before Nicholas and Auda were born." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","*journey not journal lol" "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","But what about Din and Sal, and all of my other siblings? I promised them i wouldn't leave again..." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Hm. He ponders the question I don't know that you'll be leaving. But maybe if you feel you can't go, build yourself a tent and spend some time alone inside? Or in the mines, by yourself." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He shrugs. I guess it couldn't hurt to build myself a tent, i do need a place to keep my things, this crate is turni ng my back to stone..." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Well, I can help you make it. I wish I could help you further Berias, but you have to learn control yourself first." "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir"," He stands, unlocking the door again If you want someone to talk to, let me know. I need to think further, to figur e out how to help you. When you figure out what is going on, please let me know as well okay?" "Kuile, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He stands up and smiles at Radimir. Thanks, and i will."

I wanna go blow Berias over!!" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," Pretending to not here what's going on, h e continues to take dirt from the pit. " "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He grasps the boy so that he holds him w ith both arms, facing down as he \"flys\" him over toward Berias, running to mak e the real wind blow against Peri as they go. He runs by Berias, right next to him. Peri! Quick, blow hard too to knock him down!" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He waves his arms, shrieking and laugh ing eith unabashed glee. As they reach, he puffs up his cheeks and blows as hard as he can. Pfooooooo!! Beri, I'm a big big wind!!" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He over reacts and falls forward, landing face first in the mud. Awh, i just cleaned my hair too..." "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He yells triumphantly, his eyes gleami ng with excitement and pride. Radi I did it!! I did it~!" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Hurry! Lets go before he figures out how to get us back! He runs to the other side of the camp, still holding Peri the s ame way, then laughs and hugs the boy Good job! Setting him down feet-first on the ground " "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Zosime"," She holds her sides as she laughs. "

"Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","And now Peri, you can write all about you r adventures in the rain as the Biggest Wind in your journal. He smiles proudly at the boy " "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He stands up and rubs clumps of dirt and mud off of himself. He turns to Speck and speaks in a mocking tone of voice. He y Speck, did you just feel a gust of wind?" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," as Rad runs by holding the little bo y, he pretends to stagger back and away from Berias as if the wind is pushing hi m Yeah, Berias...It almost knocked me down, too." "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He grins broadly and fishes the scroll from his armor, then spreads open his parchment. Yay! Um... he begins scribbli ng words down. " "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He looks up soon after and asks, How do you do'wind' with writing?" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Like this. He writes in the mud W-I-N-D" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","And Shhh.. He winks at Peri I won't tell them it was you that was the big wind. Your secret is safe with me." "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He turns and whispers to Speck. What do you think? Head first in the mud?" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He grins, hunkering down with a conspi ratorial wink as if that would make his previous adventures less noticable, then copies the word from the mud onto his parchment. And blew? And Beri! And Radi! And Nobrudda to?" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Blew is B-L-E-W and Radi R-A-D-I and Beri is B-E-R-I and...you want to write\"nobrother\" instead of Speck? Umm.. N-O BR-O-T-H-E-R I think." "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he blinks at Berias, and then gives a shrug ...sure?" "Lote, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," Frowns slightly at the writing Or is Bl ew B-L-U-E?" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Or B-L-O-O? He finally shrugs Pick th e one you like the best Peri, I'm not sure. He grins at the boy " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","Blooooooo~ He tastes the word on his tongue, sounding it out, and nods happily to himself. Bloooooooo~~" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Zosime","It's writing. They no rules." "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He creeps up to the edge of the pit an d eyes Peri, waiting for him to stop writing. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He finishes with his journal entry and carefully rolls the paper up, then tucks it into his armor for safekeeping. He kneels over, looking at a tuft of wet grass in front of his face, then sucks in a big breath and blows hard. Pfooooooooooo~" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He silently climbs up form the pit and grabs a handfull of mud, then creeps up to Peri. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He drops the mud on his head and begin s rubbing it in his hair. There! Now your hair matches mine!" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He gasps and swats at his head, jum ping in surprise and twisting around. He laughs at his older brother, picks up a handful of mud, and chucks it at him. Aaaaa~ He giggles and scrambles out of t he way, darting for the cover of a bush. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," The wad of mud narrowly misses his fac e, and he picks up another handfull and lobs it towards the bush. He runs for co ver in the pit and peers over the edge. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","Ack! Peri's voice rises up from the bush as the mudball disentigrates against the branches and showers him with clod s. He races out, spots the top of Beri's head, and charges, leaping and landing just a foot away from the pit's edge. His momentum carries him forward a bit mor e, and his hands shove the mud in front of him right over the edge of the pit. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He takes a few steps back to avoid the mud and loses his balance, falling over and making a loud \"THUP\" noise as his

back hits the mud. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He attempts to prop himself up with hi s hands, but they sink in to the mud. I'm stuck!" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He scrambles onto his hands and kne es, mud all down his front, and peeks over at Berias. His huge grin sharply cont rasted with the dirst covering him, he pounces, falling into the muddy pit as we ll. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Zosime","Elvi, you show me more mines now?" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He continues to struggle to get his ha nds free from the mud, only working them deeper in. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he rolls his eyes at the mudfight and then returns to work " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Zosime"," She giggles at the man with no name an d throws a sprinkle of dirt at him. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," As the sprinkle of dirt hits his already dirty vest he pauses and looks up at Zosime, eyebrow raised quizzically Uhm...hi?" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He squirms about in the mud and pul ls himself out, then proceeds to dig Berias out, flinging handfuls of mud out of the pit. I'll help you, Beri!" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," Still wriggling helplessly about, he t urns his head to Peri. Get my arms out, so i can get out myself." "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Zosime"," She mocks with surprise with wider eye s. Hi. She goes back to molding the roof as nothing happened. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Cathal Adri"," he frowns, watching her for a mom ent and rubbing the back of his head through his hood before turning away and re turning to work.

"Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He pushes the mud away from Beri's arms with loud squishing sounds, and piles up what he digs out on his older brot her's chest. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He looks at Peri. That's not exactly helping, you know..." "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," Still struggling, he yells up. Someon e else help me? Speck?" "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Cathal Adri"," with a sigh, he sets down a pile of dirt and slowly makes his way over. Yep, Berias. Right here. leaning over, h e grabs the other boy's shoulders and begins to pull, wincing in pain as he does Just...push, because I'm not gonna be able to pull you out on my own." "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He wriggles his arms about, trying to loosen the mud around them. " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Cathal Adri"," after a moment, he pulls Berias f ree from the mud with a \"ppllooop\" sound Well, there we go. he gives Berias a nod, and a smile Be more careful, eh? turning, the nameless man moves back to his work site, rubbing his injured arm as he does " "Lote, 80 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He rubs the mud off of his shirt, and turns to Peri. I'm sleepy from all the struggling, so i'm gonna go to bed now. He climbs up the side of the pit and find a tree and lies down against it.

" "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","Kay. This is from Kamiko's journal. She wa s your sister. She opens it at a random page. This was Kuile in the year 41." "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime"," She reads with a finger under the word for Peri's benefit. I will be five years soon. Mama is getting ready for Lowell and I to travel. I'm helping her make me armor. She seems different, like sad but a lmost not. She pauses, biting her lip for a moment. Says she and most everyone went travelling at my age. From what she told me it seems nice. Maybe I will fin d some interesting things." "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","I wonder if Elder went travelling and hasn't come back yet. I think Mama will miss us like we missed Dada. Maybe she misses Elder too. I don't miss Elder. Don't know Elder. Don't miss Mother either. Might miss Mama though, and Dada, Dami, Lilly, Broden. I wonder if Rosa will travel t oo. Might miss Rosa. She is very quiet, but nice. Kennan and Zeno are still litt le. They don't make much noise, especially Zeno. Kennan is annoying sometimes. W on't miss them too much I think. Never see Yvaine much anymore. Wonder where sh e is. She looks to Peri to check if he's still listening. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," as he is working, he surriptitiously m oves closer to the edge of the pit, almost till he is within earshot of Zosime a nd the children.

" "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime"," Assuming Peri's fallen asleep she reads on as if she didn't notice, enjoying reading herself Almost ready to travel. Finis hed chest armor and took a helmet that was on the ground. Mama also gave me new leather boots. No more booties for me. I am going to keep notes on where I trave l. I want to travel the edges of the forest to see how big it is. Hopefully it i s very big. Easy to disappear into. Want to find the very center of it. Maybe so mething interesting will be there. ...Will I go on?" "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he blinks and looks up from his work, hefting a large pile of dirt. Um...are you asking me that?" "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","Anyone. She shrugs. I don't wat to bore any one but I like reading Kamiko's words. It makes me feel like I knew her a littl e." "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," without setting down the massive dirt pile, though it is clearing straining him to keep holding it, the young man drop s into thought for a moment. Well, I've...heard a few of the names before. Yvai ne, because I knew...know her, and Elder, I think she mentioned once. You aren't

boring me with it. he smiles softly and then returns to work. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He looks up at Zosime pleadingly. Keep reading!! What happened?"

"Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," Quietly to Peri She died a long time ago, Peri." "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","Kay. She turns back to the book turning a fe w pages not releasing they were stuck together. This is from Kuile, 45. ...Mel ian, Dreacon, and Zeno all went to the mountain- She points to the west. -to ge t more iron a while ago. I hope the road helped them. Lowell is still not back, and I am beginning to wonder about him. He never said where he was going. Kenna n has been unusually quiet. I think something might be wrong with him. I haven't seen him doing anything since we finished the road." "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," His face falls, and for once his ever-ch eerful and oblivious expression is gone. He stares at Radimir. Died...? But the ... He stares down at the paper with the words on it, speechless. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","In a way she can live through her words. I learn about her and the people she writes about through her journal so in a way I know them so it's like a tiny bit of them is still alive. She thinks about wha t she said and looks to Rad. Is that kinda icky?" "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He protests, suddenly, though he keeps h is voice to a whisper as if not to interrupt Zosime. She says mama's name and d ada's name and uncle Brody and they not dead... He looks back at the paper, bemu sed, his brow furrowing in confusion. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He fishes the parchment from under his a rmor and looks at it, with great concentration. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","No, it isn't icky. It's...kinda nice Zos. He smiles sfotly at her and then turns to Peri You know how some of your siblin gs, they never woke up? Well, one day, she decided just not to wake up anymore. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","It is why our journal is so important. So those who come after us can know us too, and who we are and all our family and f riends and the people we meet." "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime"," She smiles with a quick glance to the boy w ith no name Yvaine gave me a hide blanket. I was very happy, since I was thinki ng about making one myself. It's very cold, and the snow on the ground seems to never disappear. I asked Yvaine about the wood shack she is building. She says s he is going to put her things there and leave. She doesn't think she'll be comin g back. She sounds disappointed as if she wants Yvainne to stay. That makes me sad. I think I will ask mother to ask Elva to protect Yvaine when she is gone. I will ask Elva too." "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime"," She bites her lip at what Rad said, glancin g down as if she knows something. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he blinks and looks up at the red-head ed girl at the name, paying attention for a few seconds before returning to work , now deep in thought. " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He doesn't notice Zos' look, still watchin g Peri " "Lote, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime"," She continues in a upbeat tune. I've been thinking about making gifts for everyone. I think Broden would like something to cook with. She grins widely at that. I could make him something out of iron wh en we get more. Damien could use more iron armor too. We need more to cover his chest and feet. Meli might like the flower bracelet I have. I heard her telling Rosa that she had one once but it disappeared. She glances to her own wrist and the daisy bracelet she wore with mild curiousity I don't know what Dreacon woul d like. Maybe a better pick. He mines a lot. Her tone changes as she comments S ounds like Cailin. She goes back to the narration. Or a good sword."

"Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He hugs the paper to his chest, then looks down at his tattered daisy bracelet, and hugs this too. So journal always here, even when you die... so you can talk to people after you die!" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime"," She nods, glancing to Elvi the best she could without moving her head. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Yeah. He nods at Peri's words and smiles at the boy That is it exactly. But none of us are going to die for a long lon g time right? Because we're gonna be careful of the animals and love each other - that's what good Kindred do." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime"," She speaks softly to Peri. If you wanna I can stop reading now or maybe read from my journal if you're scared." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He smiles at Radimir, his young frame visibly relaxing. Yeah, we not gonna die for long long long time, we all famil y!" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He shakes his head to Zosime I wanna know what happens!" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He grins and grabs the boy for a hug E xactly. And remember, someday you can use your journal to help your children an d the other babies to read too. Wouldn't you like to help Alexiko learn?" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime"," She skids a lump of gold at the man with no name's feet to get his attention before reading on. I've also been wonderin g what I could give Yvaine before she leaves, but I don't think she's going to b e taking a lot with her. I don't want to burden her traveling. If Lowell comes b ack, he would definitely want a better sword or armor. I'm not sure what Rosa wo uld like. She's very quiet, like Zeno usually is. Maybe something pretty for her . Zeno and Kennan could both use better armor. I think Kennan is going to be a h unter- Her disapproval of hunt creeps in to her tone implying Kamiko shared her opinion on the matter -and Zeno might be too." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he glances down at the small piece of gold for a moment and then looks up at the reader. He visibly pays attention for a moment, and then returns to work, though still listening. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime"," I made a wood crossbow like Rosa's, but it doesn't seem to be much better than the short bow I used before. If I'm going to hunt, I really need better armor. Her lack of disapproval seems to forgive Kamiko for hunting. I've started making an iron shovel for myself. I think I cou ld use it to make a house under the ground. Like the mine, but not as big. It wi ll take me a couple of weeks, but it only took 1 iron and 1 wood to make. She s miles, looking up to Peri. And that's it there. She points to the dirt house ac ross from hers.*I usada play in there some times." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime","(ooc opps with the*there. sorry)" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He gently brushes the dirt from his o wn parchment, almost reverently, but his full attention remains on Zosime. Cauti ously, he interrupts, Are all them dead, too? Do they have journals?" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He turns to follow Zosime's finger, t hen looks at the paper with writing on it. It's there! It's all... He pauses, w orking something out. It's all real..." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime","Well Brody's alive. She looks to the old man and adds cheekily -I think. You're No-budda will knowabout about Yvaine th an us and -I think- Rosa and Ewon are together somewhere. That's what Dad's not e said. I no know if Lowell eva came back. I know that Damien's dead. The othe rs... She shrugs. Your mama would probably know more." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He tilts his head at the boy What is P eri?" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he suddenly speaks up, pausing from his work on the house to do so Is Elder alive still?" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He frowns slightly at the question, wri nkling his brow I don't think so Speck, but Unca' Brody might know." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime","I think he's buried in the city." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he simply nods in response and murm urs I see... before turning back to his work once more. "

"Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He watches Radimir, then slowly turns back to Zosime. Curiously, he asks, Zosie, am I in there, too? He points to th e journal. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime","You won't be in here. Kamiko died when I was just little and she went to sleep when my dad was kinda little... Tai was a bout five so... You'll be in other journals." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He nods slowly, not seeming to be dis appointed or surprised by this, but rather just trying to puzzle through the who le concept. His countenance is curious but uncharacteristically serious. After a while, he asks, Zos, do you have a journal?" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime","I do. I haven't written it for a while. No properly for a while." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He grins at Peri again You're in my jo urnal Peri, and you'll be in the journals of the other people who live here I'm sure." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He beams at Radimir and unrolls his p archment, looking it over carefully.

Look, look! You're here too! Forever in here, right ?" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime"," She closes Kamiko's book and strokes it on her lap. I should really write something soon.

She looks at her brother trying to think of an insult. ...he has a funny shape head. She sticks her tongue at Rad. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius","Oooh..! He looks around conspiratorial ly and huddles closer to Zosime, peeking over at Speck and Berias. Once he's sat isfied, he whispers to Zosime, What happens next?" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Hey! He laughs Well I say you're mean t oo! But.. He shrugs That's when I didn't know any better." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime"," She looks down at the closed book. Well she builds the house. I'll read you more another day." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Zosime"," She laughs at Rad.

Okay... I wanna write some too!" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He spreads his parchment on the groun d and begins to write carefully. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," Interrupted, he begins giggling and s quirming, his arms flailing as he tries to tickle Zosime back. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Elvi","has foraged wood" "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Zosime"," She snaps her teeth by his ear but not b iting him and loosens her grip so it's easier for him to escape. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He wriggles out of her grip and gets on all fours, grinning widely. Rrrawwr, I'm a bear!

"Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," Tromping around on all fours, he cont inues with the song, Where's the honey, where's the honey, where's the honey?"

"Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","Honey is the good stuff! Like good foo d and good blankas and good meta things and good family! All the good stuff is t he honey! He makes his voice more gravelly. We da wolf family, we got da honey! Bears not giddit from us! , he sings. " "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Zosime","No, Rad, that's leaves." "Lote, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He clambers up the strunk of the near est tree, calling out, Radi! You be da wolfs! I be da bear lookin' for honey!"

If you want to go off prancing into the trees to eat bugs, that's fine with me. But do it elsewhe re, as I'm certain there is enough going on here that the others do not need to deal with your bickering. his voice remains calm throughout this, though there i s the slightest hint that he feels as if he is speaking to children.

" "Gurtha, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He looks back for a moment at Speck's words, almost involuntarily, but his own situation lends itself to agreeing more with Berias than with Speck so he says nothing despite Speck's look " "Gurtha, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He stands up and turns around to face S peck, and moves in close. Look around us Speck, who am i to move on with? Aba w as all i had, and she left with Draven.

When I ask you where our siblings are, and you tell me they're hiding, you can't well say it's not a problem."

"Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He stands up, wincing as he does and turn to Dinova. Last i saw Peri was in Zos' house, and i haven't seen Mor around i n a while, she might be in there too." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova","walks into the Underground Dirt House" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova","walks out of the Underground Dirt House" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova"," He walks out of the house with a worried expression. They aren't there! You lost track of them!" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He looks at Dinova, and angry expression on his face. I've not lost track of them, if anyhting they're hiding from me! I 've been bedridden with a broken rib for the last two days, i can't keep track o f everyone!" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova"," He glares up at the much larger boy. So what happened to MAKE them hide?" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He looks at Dinova blankly, then returns to wrking on his axe. I told you, it's not a probelm any more." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova","If it leads to my siblings getting lost, t hen YES, it is a problem! Now tell me already!" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He takes a deep breathe, and without look ing up speaks over his shoulder. There was a fight between me Speck and Radimir ,people got hurt and apologies where said. Like i keep saying, it's not a proble m anymore." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Dinova"," Sighing deeply, he looks around. You wer e responsible for them, so you shouldn't have gotten into a fight in the first p lace. As long as you're... He breaks off as he spots his younger sister. Cameli a? What are you doing here? Is everything alright?" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He shighs. Don't ask me to explain, but i wasn't myself when i started the fight, it wasn't anyones fault." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He continues to speak over his shoulder. So how are things at home?" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova","Oh, mostly good. I sent Mira and Sal to br ing Cel and Ilbeth home and look for Radimir's sister in the south, Seredel got himself killed hunting alone... he was a very confused and strange boy... He shr ugs. " "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He sighs. It seems those of us born to t he forest get ourselves killed often." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Everytime Peri goes out to show us how str ong he is he comes back half dead, or worse. He nods his head. " "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova","Huh? His brow furrows. Only sleepers and bad children have died, I think this event was pretty unique. He sighs. But it does seem like our brothers know no limits, huh? Not like we're that much better . He chuckles. " "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He chuckles as well. At least we only go for wolves and bears, anything bigger and we'd all be dead." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He eyes his older brother somewhat critic ally. That's why it's important to have bigger brothers showing little ones how and what to hunt." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He sighs again. It's not like i don't ev ery time Peri comes back hurt i tell him to take it easy, or bring his own medac ine with him, but he just won't listen to me. He shrugs and stands up. I'm tire d, i'm going to go to bed." "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","walks inside" "Lasse, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He alks back in and lies against a wall, then drifts off to sleep. " "Lasse, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," Checks on Berias, nodding as he sees t he injuries start to heal and quietly makes his way back outside " "Lasse, 80 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir","walks out" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","walks out of the Small Bone House" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He walks out of the house and stretches, stopping just short of irritating his broken rib, then returns to working on hi s axe. "

"Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She nods a little and looks to the litt le boy and smiles. Auda's always nice and I saw Peri but not sure where he is n ow. He might be in the mines, he goes in there sometimes." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He peels back the leather on his chest a nd frows, then applies a bandage to the bluge on his side. " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","Well, I guess I'll go into the mines and look for him some more then." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","walks into the Mine Entrance" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She looks at the two children a little older at her and tilts her head. I never learned their names." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","Hummm, I found Mor, but not Peri. I guess he's in one of the houses. He shrugs, still somewhat worriedly. Oh, those are Camelia and Bardoc. I have no idea why they followed me though." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","Oh.. They are your brother and sister?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova"," He smiles sadly. Yeah... but I don' thi nk they like me." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","Maybe they do if they came with you.. Sh e gives a small shrug and look to the boy and girl again. " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","Why wouldn't they like you Din? He walks over and hugs Auda I'm glad to see you awake. I hope we didn't scare you befo re." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She gives her father a tight squeeze an d smiles. No, I wasn't scared. Just did not understand.. but things are okay no w?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He stops working on his axe and walks of f to a tree and sits cross-legged at its base, and beings cleaning a small bone knife, slowly picking away at dried blood. " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He gazes around nervously There's a lot ta more people..." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He leans towards Din and hisses an attem pted whisper How much should tell them?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova"," He bows down to his little brother and w hispers in his ear. You should probably not tell them about... the first time, little bro. But don't worry, they're nice people." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He bites down on his lower lip, almost p iercing the skin, before spreading his legs in a slightly defiant pose Can any people here do strange stuff? Stuff other people not do?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," Overhearing the little boy, he yells ove r. Such as?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","My Papa's sister can speak to people she knows, but I never met her." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","And yes Auda, everything is okay. He gri ns over at Berias and nods again " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He swallows to clear his throat Make lo tsa bad water that kill things..." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He looks up, as if just realising someth ing, and yells over to Radimir. We need to talk later, preferably in private." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He yells to the little boy. Poison?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He focuses quickly on Radimir You know how she can do tha?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Morrain","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," he frowns Poison come outta nothin?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He nods to the lake. The funny looking fish in the lake make it with their body." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Morrain"," She pokes her head out of the mine, slo wly turning around Perry?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","Mor! He waves to his sister. You okay, l ittle sis?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He nods thoughtfully, still frowning Li

ke lots a lots of it? Poison big?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He yells back to the little boy. Not lo ts of it, just enough to make their bite burn and swell your skin." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas","No that then. Lotsa this n it kills stuf f right away." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","I have no idea how she does it, sorry. And He raises his voice Okay Berias! Just tell me when." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He stands up and walks over to the littl e boy, his chin almost touching his chest as he looks down at him. What are you getting at?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Morrain"," She walks over to Dinova Where's Perry ? she shifts around nervously " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","I wonder that myself, little sis. He's no t in the mines. He frowns. I'll look for him some more." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He loses his defiant posture completely and unconsciously shuffles a little closer to Din C-can do that some time. Onl y d-did on squirrel..." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He looks at the boy and rubs his chin. You're saying you make poison?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She looks at Handas from where she stan ds beside her father, watching him a little curiously. " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova"," He puts an arm around his younger brothe r protectively. It's okay, little bro. Berias looks worse than he is. He looks up to his older brother. When Handas went hunting, he made water appear from hi s body that killed the animal he was hunting. It doesn't work voluntarily though ." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He stares at the boy for a moment, then decides to speak to Dinova. So, he makes poison like the fish in the lake?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","No, it's not poison... I think. Just... a lot of water. He frowns. We have no idea how it really works either." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He sighs and crouches down next tot he b oy, smiling. My name is Berias little one, what's yours?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Morrain"," She looks between Berias and Dinova, an d then glanes around the forest again " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Handas"," He leans back slightly H-Handas..." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","Wow. His eyes widden as he pictures what happened Well...that's umm...I guess that could be good. And I know it worked because Papa and Unca' Hinrod heard her." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","And I think Peri is in Sofia's house but I'm not positive." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He looks up at Dinova, then back at Hand as. Well Handas, it's nice to know you're not the only person who's different i n some way, welcome to Lorelei." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova"," He shakes his head. I can't believe you don't know your own brothers and sisters, Berias. I'll be back in a moment, gon na go look for Peri." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Morrain"," She turns to Radimir What one's that?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","walks into the Medium Bone House" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","walks out of the Medium Bone House" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","Not in here..."

"Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He continues to crouche, and whispers to Handas. It was a\"gift\" from a spirit He seems to spit the word out. When i get angry, i do bad things." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","Um Berias? He calls over to the boy Can we talk now or should we wait a while?" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He looks at Radimir, then the little boy

and back at Radimir. I suppose we can, it was nice to talk with you Handas." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","walks out of the City Entrance" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He shuffles stiffly out of the mines and toward a house, his whole body covered in his ratty fur blanket. " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","walks into the Medium Bone House" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir"," He sighs when he sees Per Din, did you see Peri coming from the mines? Berias? I'll meet you inside." "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","walks into the Small Bone House" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He nods to Radimir, and stands up. " "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova"," He comes back, his face pale. He's not there. Only death there. Looking up, he spots his brother, his face lighting up considerably. Peri!" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","walks inside" "Lasse, 80 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He walks in and leans against a nearby w all. About the other day..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Raspberry Juice has been constructed" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He watches Berias come in and nods at hi m Yeah, the other day.." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","You know that wasn't me, right? I wasn't t hinking right." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","I thought it might have to do with the gi ft..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He looks at Radimir, his eyes grave. I c ould see it, but i couldn't stop myself. I wanted you all dead, i wanted to watc h Speck die, and you next. You where both right to stop me, i would've done some thing horrible... He trails off and stares at his feet. " "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","I don't believe that Berias. He shakes hi s head slowly, coming closer to the boy and putting his hand on Berias' shoulder You have the strength to fight through it. I know you do." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He shakes his head and brushs Radimirs ha nd off his shoulder. No, i wanted it. I could taste blood on my tounge, and i l iked it.." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He lets his hand drop but raises a brow You wanted it or the spirit did?" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","No, i could hear the spirit, it kept telli ng me to stop, that now wasn't the time. It was me, i wanted to kill Speck, and then i wanted to eat him, i know i wanted it and i knew i shouldn't have.. He lo oks shaken, as if he dosen't want to be talking. " "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," Narrowing his eyes slightly You need to tell me honestly Berias. Either it was you or it wasn't, but either way you ha ve to control yourself and be able to fight through it" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He moves from the wall away from Radimir. The anger was the spirits\"gift\", it changed me, it made me want to do what i did, but.....somehow i know it wasn't what i should want, but i needed it. I bi t him, Radimir, if he wasn't wearing armor i would have taken a peice of him wit h me when he pulls my head back..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","I think the spirit is right... He trails off " "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He looks at Radimir, his eyes dark, almos t as if the color is shifting. I know he was right, but it dosen't change anyth ing. I had another dream, and it was horrible. But i lvoed it, and it makes me a hte myself. He walks back and stands in a corner, hugging himself. " "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Don't jump to conclusions. He frowns I'm not saying you're bad or anything like that. I'm saying the spirit was right t hat you need to learn how to control yourself, and I still think it would be bes t done in the mountains." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","But. He softens his tone What happened i n the dream?" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","May I lock the door? To keep any childre

n out?" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He nods at Radimir. " "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He locks the door then sits down facing Beri " "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He slids down in the croner untill he's c rouched, and looks up at Radimir. I was here, in Lorelei, and everything was no rmal. I was up ina tree, just resting but then i opened my eyes and everything lost it's color, and i felt so angry, and i could taste blood on my tounge..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I looked down and saw Speck, at least i th ink it was him, everything was dark...I jusmped from the tree and landed on his, and just started biting his neck and face. I was eating him Radimir, and i coul d feel it when i woke up, it was what i wanted..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He sighs and shakes his head Berias, no w that Din is back, what if I take you up to the mountain, make sure my tent is unlocked so you can use it? We can bring medicine up there, and let you figure things out." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He pulls his knees up to his chest and re sts his chin on them. No, i know it's what i want, but i know not to do it. Not hing will happen while i know this, i can promise that much..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","I'm not afraid of something happening to us Beri...but of something happening to you. You need to figure out how to use your gift but not misuse it or let it misuse you." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He stifles a cough. Nothing will happen, but i don't know if i can keep it that way...I can feel myself slipping,a nd i keep trying to stop but i just can't hold on to anything. I'm afraid some day fa r form now i might finally lose hold and do something terrible..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","And you want to be here when that happens ? Or alone where you can attack a mountain lion or something in the mines?" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I know it will happen, but i know it wil h appen long from now...if i even think i'm losing control, i'll leave for the mou ntains, or the mines.....just, not so soon, i promised Din that i would never ru n away again..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","It isn't running away, but it is your cho ice. He sighs and stands I'm not mad at you though. Just...try to be careful o kay?" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He moves to unlock the door then pauses Anything else?" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," HE stands up as well, and soen't make eye contact with the older boy. Just, if you can, try not to get me angry ok? I wa s so stupid with rage that it just slipped through, it's a moment of weakness.." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He looks skeptical I'll try Berias." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," Unlocking the door he slips back outside " "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","walks out" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","walks out of the Small Bone House" "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He steps out and continues working on his axe.

I do bad things when i get angry..." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Handas"," He smiles a little too solemnly for a chi ld of his age Like wa? Can tell me an I'll tell you wa happen with mine." "Vasa, 80 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He looks at the boy, then smiles as well. I hurt my friends, but its only happened once...i've had bad dreams though, of me doing horrible things.."

The only thing you'll achieve is give him more attention. As long as he's not stupid enough to actually come back, it's probabl y best to erase him from Kindred memory. Going after him will only build up more attention, more bad memories... forgetting he ever existed is the only way to r eally kill him. To the Kindred, he never existed.

The memory of hi s actions should end with us - there is no reason to spread the misery he caused to others. He glares at Berias.

Oh, hello, Cam! What are you doing here?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Camelia"," She looks around nervously, then replies, I'm hungry."

"Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","Yeah. He adjusts his grip " "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Dinova"," He takes some roasted meat from a clay amp hora and hands it to Camelia. There you go, sis. We need to make new food for t he stuff we've eaten soon." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," with a short nod, he begins to shuffl e off to the bone house. " "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri","walks into the Small Bone House" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","walks inside" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","walks inside" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," Unable to lift him completely onto the ma tress this time, he helps lay him down on the bedding and then slides to the flo or, face in his hands " "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he helps to set Berias down on the be d and then stands to face Radimir, rubbing his left shoulder I'm afraid I was w rong..." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","Wrong? He lifts his head, obviously weary. " "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he nods About spirits feeding on emo tions, and the spirit using Berias to feed off of anger and sadness. It...my att empts to make him stop didn't work he sighs and looks away Broden wants Berias to leave, because he's dangerous, and I think that may be the best choice..." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","As much as I would like to go after Draven ... He sighs I'm afraid Din might be right."

"Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," His attention is once again on Speck Whe re?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he simply shrugs My map indicates se veral possibilities. We could go anywhere. I think...I think maybe it would be a good idea to try and start a whole new village." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," He speaks slowly, almost as if he's afrai d of saying it aloud I'd like to do that honestly. We could go to Frost Mounta in - we already have an oven and some tents and the mines there. Unless there i s somewhere else but... He looks at the other two Three men don't exactly make much of a village." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he sighs I was thinking of an area t o the south, perhaps. Far from here, so that if we really do lose control of Ber ias, he won't be able to hurt anyone but us. he then shrugs at the last comment Perhaps we could convince some women to come?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," He laughs, almost bitterly Who? Melia? She's the only woman old enough anyway. Auda will probably come with me if I l eave." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he sighs once more It was only a sug gestion. And, yes, maybe Melia. Why not? And, maybe, there are people from Melia n's Forest, as well. If we only really wish to bring them to mate, we only would need to convince three women, anyhow." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," His eyes shoot open and roll back in to hi s skull, and he turns and hacks up more blood, then sits up unsteadily. I-i bel eive i have explaining to do..." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," He glances at Berias then Speck again I think if you are serious about it, I'd like to go too. I've had enough of being a secondary Kindred. As for you Beri - would you like me to have Din come in here?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he glances down at the teen There is no need. Just rest." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He coughs again. I'd rather not talk to h im right now. Speck, you still have everything written down, yeah?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he smiles at Radimir Alright, well t han that really does mean we'll need to convince three eligible females to come. he smirks, and then turns to Berias I do, I never erase my journal." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Maybe just copy it down on another piece of parchment, and give that to Dinova then?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he smiles We can tell him together i n a little bit, Berias. Right now, though, perhaps you can help us plan for this ...trip?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He coughes again, this time much lighter t hen the others. Trip?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he smiles Yes, I...think it may be b est if we get you away from Lorelie before you hurt anyone. So...you and I and R ad are going to start a new village somewhere." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He stands up skaily. We'd need women, whi ch is a problem we already suffer from..." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","We could try to find Lilly..but I'm starti ng to think it would be more trouble than it is worth...she is very slefish. He sighs But Auda will come, obviously won't be a mate for me...but maybe you Beri as?" "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he nods slowly Sit. And I already kn ow that. But if we take pre-teen girls, by the time they are old enough to mate, we'll also have the necessary supplies to support the new children." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He shrugs. I don't know, it might work ou t...." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","That's true. If they want to come that is . Berias, what about your siblings?"

"Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He continues to stand. I think they're ha ppier with din..." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he raises an eyebrow Din doesn't exa ctly respect others, I can't see why." "Vasa, 80 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","All of them? He tries to get Berias to sit back down Not all the girls want to mate with din? He looks surprsied " "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shrugs speck off and walks to a corner a nd leans against it. I don't think most of them really like me, maybe Peri stil l does though..." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","Miratine is an aht-ahl-hai, ignore what she said to you before leaving. he states with just a hint of anger in his word s before leaning against a wall opposite the others As I said, though, girls wh o are almost old enough to mate, but aren't yet, should be fine." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Well, we can think about who might be a goo d candidate, and talk to them individually about if they want to start a new col ony." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he crosses his arms over his chest and nods That sounds like a good idea. I'm afraid the only females that I know are ... he ponders a moment Zosime, Melia, and Rain...and, of course, Auda and Elvi . he frowns Though I know Zosime and Elvi won't be coming, and you said Auda wi ll go if you go. So that leaves Melia and little Rain." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Too bad. Laughing Elvi is adorable. But a h...far too young." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","And I doubt Zosime would let her leave, anyways, as I said he replies, scratching his cheek Which leaves little Rain a nd Mora." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," Thoughtfully Let me go see if Auda is awa ke." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he nods Right. She should probably ha ve some say in this." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","walks out" "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","walks inside" "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," Shaking his head From what I can tell Aud a isn't awake."

"Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He nods I'm feeling a bit tired so I thin k I'll take a nap." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","Alright. I'll be outside. Berias, if yo u're feeling better, feel free to come out."

"Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Tibalt","Berias...I want you to stay out of the mines for as long as you're here." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Tibalt","Would tomorrow go, Speck?" "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sighs and looks over at Tibalt. I was a ttacked by one of the blood sucking worms, it had nothing to do with the mines.. " "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","Yes, I'll be here tomorrow. It will tak e more than just a little preparation before I leave." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Tibalt","They are in the mines though. Stay out of th em. He sighs and shakes his head I warned you about this before, didn't I? I wa rned most Meliansons about it. The animals didn't attack anyone unless you hurt them first. It looks like they really had enough of it now and attack even when

not provoked." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sighs again. I really doubt anyone is t o blame for their aggresiveness, i tihnk they've just gotten hungry." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Tibalt"," He smirks, shakes his head again and then h eads inside while muttering Why can't all Kindred just be... smart..."

"Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he looks down at the pre-teen boy, and smiles sadly It's...a strange sort of leaving, Peri. I'm not going home to Kao l."

"Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He picks himself up, much more carefully this time, and using the butt of his spear to support himself. He cocks his hea d, peering out from under his helmet at Speck. Where you goin'?" "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He smiles at Mor. I'm fine, for now ig ues s..." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," His expression fades to nervous uncertai nty as he turns to Berias. He simply shakes his head. Beri? Where you going?"

"Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he smiles and rests his shield hand on the pommel of his sword We don't know yet. We're still planning it all." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sighs. I don't know where they're going , but i'm following untill they stop, and i'm going to hunt Draven down..." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He frowns, and his voice holds a bit of a whine in it as he asks, Why? Why you gotta go? You not coming back?" "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he gives Berias an unsure look and the n states We're going to head south, is all we know at this point. We plan to tr y to put some distance between here, and ourselves. Then, I guess, we'll try to form a new village. That's the plan Radimir and I came up with, anyways. There's the still the problem of mates, but he shrugs, wincing once more as his left sh oulder moves " "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head. I don't know Peri, if Draven kills me i won't be coming back obvisouly, but if i kill him i don't know still..."

"Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain","Beri, she stops her foot don't go do bad." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he frowns, pondering a moment, and the n states Little Rain, it will be a while before we stop travelling and Berias d ecides to go hunt this Draven person down. And I will be trying to talk him out of it the entire time." "Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He looks at Mor, sadness in his eyes.

"Vasa, 80 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," His eyes widen as he looks over at Morra in, and for a moment they are filled with fear or shock. No no, no killin'!

There would be no choice. He sighs . But I do hope it won't come that far. Regardless of what you think of her, Ma ma doesn't enjoy killing. She just sees it as necessary in some cases."

But the orchard is just an area with a lot of trees and fruit. he t races his finger down from the orchard, two squares So we can go here, and take advantage of Greenleaf being nearby. Or... he brings his finger further down, t o the labeled Salt Marsh We can keep going, to the marsh. Though that is much f urther away. I've no problem with travelling, though you all might." "Khelek, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia"," She looks to the males and keeps qu iet still.

"Khelek, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Three days southwest, one day south. He nods I like it. Close enough to visit if we want to someday, but not so cl ose that anyone can just come.

"Khelek, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","As for food, Speck I can help with t hat - I'm thinking efficient foods that last longer are better. Like jerky and that sort of thing.

I can hunt for the m eat, and then we can both work on cooking it. Perhaps Berias and Auda can make s ome healing supplies, and containers to carry them in?" "Khelek, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Speck - there is plenty of extra mea t just take some - I hunted for much of it as did Peri and Beri."

Who else is there?" "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns and returns to his work, mumbl ing. Just Auda..."

I'd say...more embarrassed than mad. he shrugs " "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia"," She glances at Berias and wrinkles her nose before looking back to the cream " "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He turns to Speck, still blushing slight ly. Speck, can i ask you a quesiton?" "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he blinks and looks at the teen No , Berias, we actually do need women. There isn't another way." "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He continues looking at him. But why do we need them...?" "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he rubs the back of his head, frown ing slightly Well, uh...you don't know?" "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He looks back at his shield.

" "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He contnues to look at Speck. But you h aven't told me anything! You've just given me more questions..." "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia"," She giggles a bit in somewhat of a fit and watches the cream as she continues working on salve. " "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he glances over, a puzzled expressi on on his face What more is there to ask, Berias? It's really quite simple." "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime"," She guides Druid in to Sofia's house. " "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," Laughing Berias, you'll figure it out just fine I'm sure when the time comes."

You go into them, you thrust for a while, then you get out and a little later babies ar e born. Ok? It really doesn't require any work or thought on your part." "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns again. I don't think you even

"Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs I suppose it could help to carry things. I'd prefer just some bags, though. Amphoras look a bit heavy. W hatever works, I suppose." "Khelek, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia","I'm good, auntie Zos. You doing good too ? She asks, giving her aunt a big squeeze.

" "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he looks over at Radimir and shrugs It depends on how much we're bringing. Hide bags work if you've only got some m eat, parchment, and a flute.

"Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Maybe we should just make regular meat? And not worry about it?" "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks up at Radimir.

"Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Druid","walks into the Underground Dirt House" "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he frowns How much are we taking, R adimir? It really comes down to that. If we have a lot of supplies, we'll want a mphoras." "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","If we have a sharpened stick and can make fire we don't need so much food since we can cook the meat we hunt and then bui ld ourselves an oven and kiln." "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he nods, dropping into thought That would mean we really only need two bits of roasted meat per person, if anyone r uns out during the trip we can make more. he frowns, doing more calculations in his head I think we should bring tools as well, but I don't know what we're all owed to take, if anything." "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Has anyone seen my pick? I left it out h ere with the other tools, but I left Cailin's too so I should take that one with us.

"Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Let me go see if Zos has that toolbox." "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","walks into the Underground Dirt House" "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he nods and turns back to watch the jerky dry " "Khelek, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He glances around furtively before run ning off into the forest.

"Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," finally, the tracks lead him to a smal l clearing. Just as the man arrives, a small pack of wolves is making its way ou t, leaving behind a freshly killed turkey. Drawing his sword, the twenty year ol d murmurs something to himself and drops to a crouch, waiting for one of the pre dators to lag behind. Sure enough, one of the wolves does and, letting out a low , angry growl, the man charges forward, barrelling into the beast. " "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," has killed grey wolf" "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Din... He sighs Nothing is expected of her . If she wants to find a mate within us guys, she can...but we won't force her certainly...there is no expectation that she MUST." "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," charging in from the side, the man aba ndons his usual caution to instead tackle it to the ground, and man and beast ro ll over each other for a moment amid grunts and yelps as he does his best to hol d off the animal's bites. After a moment, the two disentagle each other and he r olls to his feet, blood flowing anew from the gash on his face. Taking a quick s tep forward, the hunter brings up his blade in a horizontal arc, catching the lu nging wolf in the side. With a final pitiful yelp, the animal falls back, swayin g for a moment before collapsing dead. "

"Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia","Said so already. She has her own choice, if she doesn't want to come, she don't have to. She shrugs and looks to her father . Thought it was simple?" "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Dinova"," He tilts his head. That is what you say, a nd I know you believe it. But I am sure enough that he would try to influence he r in ways she's not comfortable with, to his own will. I simply told her my opin ion on the matter." "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Din, I wouldn't let that happen. He frowns at the other boy, almost looking disappointed. Cam is my cousin. Beri is her b rother. Do you think either of us would let something bad happen to her? She's old enough to decide what she wants for herself. It wasn't right of you to imp ly Speck would do something like that. My own daughter is coming along - if I t hought he would do something like that to any of the girls, would I go with him? Or let Auda?" "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Camelia","walks out of the Small Bone House" "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," standing, he ignores the blood running down his cheek and cleans his blade on his leggings before sheathing the weapon once more. Pulling his jagged and nearly broken bone knife from a chord on his leggings, he kneels beside the fallen animal and begins to slowly carve it up, p ulling out the meat. As he does this, he also removes the entrails, placing them nearby. " "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," She scowls at the puddle in front of her, scanning the ground around it.

" "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he stands and bows his head to gaze at the slain animal, rain pouring down around him and soaking him to the bone. Qui etly, he draws his sword once more and slams it into the ground before him, and then drops to one knee in the blood and mud, gripping the hilt in his left hand as he presses his forehead against the steel and quietly begins to mumble " "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Dinova. He just slowly shakes his head Ber ias, Speck and I have been through a lot together now. When you weren't here a lot happened. I trust Speck with my life, and the life of my daughter. But if he ever turned on us, you can be sure Berias and I would protect the girls with everything in us. Just as we would if you turned against one of them. Or any o f us did." "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Dinova","You don't get my point. He shakes his head. I know all that, but you simply assume that he can't outsmart you. That you wou ld even realize the ways he could use to influence people. That's what I'm worri ed about." "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," standing, he pulls his blade from the muddy dirt and wipes it off on his leggings once more before sheathing it and tu rning, trudging through the mud as he makes his way back to the camp. Upon arriv ing, he throws one of the pieces of meat onto the oven and sits down beside it, moving close to take advantage of the fire within. " "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Din, Frowning seriously now you seem to be under the assumption that I'm stupid. I may not be the first to pick up my swo rd, nor to jump into a fight and I may have less rash words than I did as a chil d, but I'm not stupid or naive. I realize that it is fully possible that Speck could be someone completely different than he say he is - but then so could you. And in fact, what has happened between you and Bardoc today showed me a side o f you I never expected. I have let you and your family into my heart and into m y home because you are Kindred but that doesn't mean I don't watch Auda and thos e around her closely, or even you and Speck and Berias. I have found Speck trus tworthy. He has done nothing but reinforce that. If he tried to hurt my family

, it would not go well for him with me or Berias. As for tricking, it will take a long time until any of us will be alone again, what with traveling together a nd building up our home...and in front of all of us, how do you expect him to tr ick anyone exactly? He slowly shakes his head, looking much more upset than his tone lets on I'm going to forget you said that Din, but I will tell you this whether Cam wants to go or not is up to her, and if she stays I wish her every g ood thing but if she comes I won't let anything happen to her." "Lote, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," Standing off a ways in the forest, a serio us frown is beging to spread across her face.

You stood right here an hour ago when he tried to manipulate me. Did you not listen as he insult ed me and everything I ever did or cared about, while in the very same sentence admitting that he himself did worse? What troubles me is not that he would use s uch a cheap trick to make me look bad, but that you either don't care or don't e ven realize it. I am not your enemy, and I have no intention to become it. You a re forcing a conflict right now. I simply told my sister what I think of the sit uation, or am I not allowed to talk to my own sister, while a stranger may?"

I'm speaking, peacefully I might add, and not for talking to your sister but for trying to say things about Speck you've no ri ght to say. You and he both spoke to each other with heated words - what is sai d at a time like that can't be taken seriously, for often things are said which we regret later.

I am surprised th en that she had no idea the only reason you wanted her to come was for her to ha ve children with one of you. You know, that's kinda a big deal in my eyes, seein g how she didn't even know how children are made. He shakes his head. There, se e? You're getting me angry again. Don't insult me by lying straight to my face. Or are you telling me that it was my sister who lied to me and just pretended no t to know?" "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","I'm not lying! His voice starts to rise and he has to visibly calm himself We asked her to come but I told you she has

the option if she wants to or not - she isn't even old enough for that yet, what do you expect us to do? We'd like more people because there is a better chance of people finding someone they like. This isn't about me or Speck or Berias if Peri came and she decided she liked Peri great! If she came and decided she wasn't interested in anyone, not a big deal. Your sister wasn't lied to and did n't lie to you. That simply is not the case." "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He stands up and moves halfway between D inova and Speck.

That st ill does not change the fact that you wanted her to come not because any of you care about her. You wanted her to come for your place to grow - for YOUR and YOU R purpose only. Nothing you say changes that you wanted her to go with you for y our own goals. And you have no right to do that and not be honest about it. The simple fact is that you don't want her because you enjoy her company or want to protect her, but because she will be a woman one day. And as someone who DOES ca re about her, I had to tell her as much. It's still her decision, but she had to know the truth - and not the version of the truth you make yourself believe in.

"Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He continues to frown. Speck isn't like us, he comes from far away.

Never mind. It's clear I can't expect any fairness here. I trust you won't lie to our siblings to me make the only one responsible... I guess I'll see you someday. Pr obably.

"Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He turns to Broden, his fists still clen ched. And you, i've said nothing against you since i arrived, i repect that i a m a guest and you do not like my mother. But i and getting very tired of every o ther word from your mouth beng nothing but hate for my kin." "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he turns to face Berias from where he sits by the oven Din and that Meri girl got into an argument about how he do es not care about his siblings. From what she said, the way that boy acted towar ds him, and the impression I already had about him, I am inclined to agree. He b egan to spout some nonsense about how his family does not care about him, and I his voice grows stern, almost cold as anger simmers in his tone will not sit by and listen as someone with a family that does care, complain and talk as if the y was neglected as a child. he scowls and then turns back to the oven, watching the meat roast with a scowl " "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Broden"," he looks at Berias with displeasure, and a bit of apprehension Give me a reason to change my attitudes, and I'll change them." "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He looks over at Uncle Brody and nods He was...he was just...crazy." "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Camelia","walks out of the Small Bone House" "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He almost turns to Speck, then looks bac k to Broden. I have done nothing of my own mind to hurt anyone here. As far as i am concerned, i would die for everyone here, including yourself.

"Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","I'm sorry if I was wrong in how I acted Berias - but Din had no right to say we were liars and try to imply we were doin g some thing wrong. You wouldn't let us nor would I - Cam and Bardoc and Meri a re my cousins and your siblings. Why would he think we would let anything happe n to them?"

"Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he turns back to Berias, shooting h im a glare I'm beginning to think y- he pauses and takes in a deep breath, visi bly doing what he can to calm himself.

His view of the people here should be no concern to you, by himself he is nothing but my little brother. It should concern you if he manages to spread his opinion, which he won't, or simply can't." "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir","He already did Berias. He told it to Ca m. Shaking his head It is over and done, he's on his way home." "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs and slowly walks over to his le ggings, and resumes working on them. I mean if he is to tell Melian, or convinc e our siblings in the forest.

"Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," wandering a great deal away from th e camp, he finds a spot beneath a copse of trees that is somewhat less filled wi th mud than the rest of the forest and sets his bags down. Using his hide bag as a pillow, he lays beneath the trees as the rain falls down upon him in torrents . Within moments, he drifts off into a surprisingly peaceful sleep. " "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","Ummm... He swats at the water droplets falling from the tree above. Wanna play... um... let's build a tent to play in !!" "Lote, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain"," She grins Okay! She points her spear f orward and takes a few steps away from the tree What we build it out of?"

" "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Morrain"," She returns to the large branches with a bundle of smaller sticks, and begins slatting them against the boughs " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He crouches down, grabs a twig, and th rows it in Morrain's direction with a muffled giggle. " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Morrain"," Grinning, she scoops up a fistful of mud and sends it sailing over her brother's head " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He slips and falls while attempting to

" "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Morrain"," She walks around the tree once, and afte r a brief moment of confusion, she stifles a giggle and rushes around the other way with a shout. " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Broden","has foraged algae" "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He gasps as she barrels straight into him and tumbles back on his rear with a scream of surprise and delight, his arms windmilling as he tries in vain to slow his fall. " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Morrain"," She takes a step back, laughing uncontro llably. " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He laughs as well, sticking his tongue at her and throwing more leaves in her face. " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He scrambles to his feet and runs off into the woods, completely abandoning the half-made structure. " "Lote, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Morrain"," She raises her arms instinctively, scatt ering the mud in her hands everywhere " "Urnu, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He darts around trees, zigging and zag ging and every now and then peeking over his shoulder.

" "Urnu, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia"," She eventually stands and looks around, sm iling when she sees how nice the weather is then walking over to Berias and plop ping herself down beside him by the tree to look up at the sky too. Whatcha loo king at?" "Urnu, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles at Auda. All those white things in the sky." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She scoots closer and keeps her eyes on the sky. Well, it's pretty out today. I was tired of being cold. She grins a l ittle and rests her blanket on her lap. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He chuckles. You'll get used to the col d at some point, it's not about to go away. He smiles again. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She nods at that and rests her head on Berias' arm. I know. Do we all leave soon Beri? And did Rain or Cam decide yet ?"

"Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head. I don't think they' re coming, what with all the yelling Dinova cooked up." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","That's too bad. I would've liked them to come.. they're not too much older than me I think and would've been fun to get to know and play with. She lifts her slim shoulders and keeps her head on Berias ' arm. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs and rests his arm around her. Dinova has had issues ever since Draven left, he takes too much resposibility on himself, and takes things to seriously..." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Yeah, I saw that when he and Meri were f ighting and the yelling started. Then it was like if everyone was in the quarrel soon. She pouts a little then and scoots even closer to Berias. You think he'l l say bad things when he gets home about us here?" "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head. I really hope he's smarter then that, i'm pretty sure he knows Speck isn't even really Kindred, and we're all leaving soon enough." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Maybe we'll be gone before he even gets home. She shrugs a little and looks over to see her father awake and gives him a cheerful wave. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He glances over at Berias and Auda, the n walks over to them, settling down nearby to help on the leggings I'm sorry ab out all of that Berias...I should have kept my cool." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He smiles at Radimir. Dinova takes more responsibility then he can handle, i don't blame you for him breaking down..." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," Shaking his head I'm the older one. I should have been less concerned with myself. He left though, before any of us could really cool down." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She smiles to her father and continues her work on the leggings also, though her head still rests on Berias. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He pops his neck and leans forward sligh tly to resume working on the leggings. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He pushes Audas head away gently long en ough to take his helmet and armor off, and shange in to a shirt. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He pulls his bracelet out of a pouch on his belt, and slips it around his wrist. " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She sits up and keeps working on the le ggings as Berias changes into a shirt then looks to him when he's done and smile s again.

" "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," she eyes Berias' skull mask and scrunch es her nose then points to her simple wooden one. Mine's less scary." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He smiles and pulls it over his face.

She pulls at the long hair a little. You know when it was all in your face might scare them." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He winces slightly as she pulls, a knot in his hair catching and pulling more hair. My hair isn't like this on purpose, i just rarely have the time to clean it out." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","I could help you! I just thought you lik ed it like that. She winces a little and releases the hair when she sees Berias' face wince. Sorry, didn't mean to pull it so hard."

"Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles. It's alright, i do need to c lean my hair though.." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","I'll help if you want. She gives a shrug and smiles. Just let me know." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He shrugs. Sure, let's finish these leg gins first though, and we can do it before we leave." "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir","We should find out...if anyone else is c oming. Unfortunately Din made it sound like we were awful. Do you think..? He glances over at Cam then into his house " "Urnu, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She looks to Cam and smiles softly. I wish Cam would come. Don't know now since Din.

"Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Camelia"," She perks up and looks over at Berias. After a moment, she asks, Help how?" "Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shrugs. You just have to hand my chun ks of iron." "Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Camelia"," Hesitantly, Alright... She comes over. " "Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He speaks without looking up from the leg gings. So, have you thought at all about coming with us any further?" "Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Camelia"," She also stares at the metalwork in prog ress. I'm not coming." "Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He nods. Very well." "Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He gently moves Audas head away and stand s up and twists, his back popping. Right, well i'm going to go clean my hair ou t, and these ties in my hair are starting to itch. He walks over to the pond and strips down, then lowers himself in the water. " "Urnu, 81 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He sighs as he and begins undoing the bra ids in his fair, which is now almost down to his forearms. I should probably cu t it, too..."

" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Kara-Elle","The baby points at some colorful fish an d a leathery dog." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He notices Speck and puts his armor back o n.

You're da-dada wanna name them after your ma ma but someone else named them first." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," he finishes cleaning his face and stu dies his reflection in the water, running a finger along the long, thin gash ben

eath his right eye as he speaks Hey, Berias. I saw, you look...shiny." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Kara-Elle","The baby shudders and looks for third an imal she saw the day before, but can't find it." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Meriard"," As the shinyness of th eponds reflection catches her eye she looks up and spotting Speck, she digs out a leaf bandage and silently walks up to him and hands it to him Here, Speck, you may want to use this..." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime"," She wraps her arms around her daughter and blows a raspberry under her cheek. " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Calia","walks out of the Underground Dirt House" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Calia","Mommy whe are you?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime","Hey Calia. Kara-Elle are over here by the water." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He frowns. I was looking for strong or sc ary, not shiny...." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Meriard"," without waiting for a response, she turns on her heels, nearly tripping up over her own feet in the proccess and walks ba ck to where she was sitting before and resumes her work on the wood longbow quie tly " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," he blinks and looks up to see Meri. H e frowns for a moment, looking her over Um...yes. Thank you. he gives a small n od, taking the bandage and standing. He then quietly pulls his bone knife from h is leggings and jabs it into a nearby tree, utilizing the forthcoming sap to app ly the bandage to the wound on his face " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Calia"," Walks slowly over to the water, looking bra ve around all the people around her " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Kara-Elle","The baby giggles." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Calia","whatt you doing?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime","Do you girls like the new blocks? They wil l be better for boom." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," turning back to the pond, he blinks a nd arches an eyebrow at the little girl. Giving her a curt nod, he turns and amb les away and over towards Berias " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime","Nothing really? She looks to Kara-Elle. Wh at are we doing?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Calia"," Remembers the blocks she saw today and smil es ya, goo fo boo" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Kara-Elle","The baby looks around for the blocks her mom mentioned."

"Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 4","Zosime"," She laughs lightly. It's kay. The water can't come to you." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Bardoc","has foraged wood" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Kara-Elle","has foraged lily" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius","Meat Jerky has been constructed" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Elvi","Broth has been constructed" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Kara-Elle","The baby keeps a cautious eye on the wat er, but doesn't move any further away."

Considering how much you and I tend to get hurt, I think it'll be a g ood idea to make a lot of that. he grins and glances at Berias for a moment By the way, you were asleep. But that wind spirit came into the camp, and Peri and I ended up hunting it. There was a second one waiting to ambush us after we had chased it a fair ways in. I'd say the fire rock spirit lied, it was definitely t rying to lure one of us into that trap." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns. No, because i don't think it w ould have left the tree if i hadn't come over..." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime","You wanna story, little ones?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Calia"," turns her head and looks at her mommy wha a sory?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he frowns worriedly, and subconciousl y reaches up to run a hand along the gash beneath his bandage I think it came o ut, because it wanted you to chase it. Berias, those things went down fast, but I don't think they would have if Peri or I were alone." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Kara-Elle","The baby looks up at her mom." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime","A story is... She bites her lip, not sure h ow to explain. ...something that happened long ago." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns again, looking much more worried now. Why would the spirit lie to me like that then?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Calia","ok She takes the explanationa and looks up t o her mommy to listen " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he raises an eyebrow and looks to Ber ias as if he has lost his mind Berias, you do remember which spirit we're talki ng about, right? The one that threatened you, and then gave you a'gift'?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He takes his helmet and sets in on the gro und, then sits on it. I don't know, it dosen't sound right......I'm pretty sure it wasn't lying. He nods. " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he sighs and his hand drops down to h is side Regardless, Berias. If we see another one, I won't give it the chance w e gave that one. It nearly pounced onto Broden from a tree, and maybe it would h ave if little Rain didn't throw a dart." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He continues frowning and stands up, and p uts his helmet back under his arm. The spirit seemed so sad that you guys kille d them though..." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime","Long ago... She pauses, clearly trying to t hink of something. When Auntie Lilly was here, she seen a fishy like the rainbo w fish but it had a kindred's face, just like ours."

"Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he closes his eyes and sighs Berias, that may be because it's a Samhael, too. Do you remember when the fire rock spi rit first started talking to you? he shrugs, and quickly changes the subject An yways, I think we should travel light on our way to the spot where we plan to st art this new village. What do you plan on bringing with you?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Calia"," walks in the house bored with the story and

sleepy from the broth " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Calia","walks into the Underground Dirt House" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime","Kay, go inside though. It's no good to sle ep out here right now." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Kara-Elle","The baby continues watching mommy." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime"," She blows a raspberry at Kara-Elle's head. You no think Mama's stories are all stinky, do you?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He begins to speak, then frowns and adress es the other question. My armor and my weapon and my crate. All together it's n ot too much." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he nods Alright. Don't weigh yoursel f down too much, though. We want to move quickly. he falls silent, simply gazing off into the forests " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He turns and looks at the forest, then loo ks at Speck and shrugs as he returns to helping Mira with her bow. " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime","Ka Brody got all scaried because it had a f ace like us and tell us no to go near it but me and Lilly think it was scared of us because it think we're no meant to have a face like us."

He say maybe that how she watches her so she knows when to help us and she swam away because she wanna be secret." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius"," He stirs and sits up, adjusting his arm or against his sweat-sticky skin as he carefully picks himself up. Mora, he cal ls, wandering off in a random direction, Mora? When a bush rustles, he trots to ward it and spreads the branches with a wide grin, only to be met with a faceful of snorting, very annoyed boar. He yelps and scrambles away, the pissed off pig in close pursuit, but doesn't get far before he wheels on the animal, sword dra wn, and attempts to whack it with his sword. The angle is a bit off, though, and he only succeeds in hitting it with the flat of his blade, stunning it. He trie s to untangle his sword from the boar's tusks. " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Broden"," he shakes his head a bit Elva watches us, but I don't think that's how she would." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime"," She nods for Brody to join them. Come, te ll us." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Broden"," he walks over tentatively, and sits down n ext to Zosime Well, I dunno how, exactly. But, but, I don't think Elva would w ant to scare us. Maybe she's in the statues we make of her, and that's how we c an talk to her." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius"," He finally manages to drag his blade aw ay and tries another slash, poorly handled, that skitters off the side of the bo ar but only manages to shave off hair. He scrambles back, gripping the handle wi th both hands, and thrusts his sword forward like a spear again, straight into t he boar's face. It thrashes and squeals as he continues to try to escape, but th e boar is already dying. " "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Kara-Elle","The baby points at Brody's face." "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Broden"," he smiles at the baby Hello, little one. Are you new?" "Naur, 81 - Sunrise, hr 5","Zosime"," She lifts Kara-Elle to Brody's eye-level. You think maybe the frogs watch us for her?"

nno. I like the froggies, but sometimes they seem kinda dumb, because they hop around where evil things might eat'em up." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs and moves to sit beneath a t ree, yawning quietly " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Zosime","I like them too. They were my favourite gam e." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Auda? This has some of our extra food, and Specks' things too. He hands it to her Can you carry this for us?"

"Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Meriard"," Her eyes slowly adjust theselves to the li ght as sparkles reflect in her eyse from the pond and she slowly scans the area for Bardoc " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Meriard"," She looks at Rad and smiles softly at him as her eyes widen in surprise before they dim again " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he yawns once more, and pulls his flut e from where it hangs off a chord on his leather leggings, studying it as he spe aks Hey, Berias...remember when I told you I was going to think of a title for you?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He looks up from Auda to see Meri smiling at him and he tilts his head You're feeling better Meri?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Bardoc"," he spots Meriard stiring and goes to her. He pulls out a knife and helps her carve he bow " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Broden"," he giggles and pokes Kara-Elle's nose back What's your name, little one?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks up from the bow at Speck. Now tha t you mention it, it's been two eyars now..." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Kara-Elle","The baby squeals and claps."

" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he grins and moves to speak before loo king up at Radimir Aye, I'll go. C'mon, Beri. We can discuss this title thing i n the mines. he slowly pushes to his feet, sliding his flute back into it's leat her loop before moving to the mines " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","walks into the Mine Entrance" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He stands up from the work he was doing and slides is helmet back on. Alright." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","walks inside" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He walks in and nods. Alright Speck, what is it?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he draws his sword and glances down bo th tunnels before leaning back against one of the walls as he waits for Radimir The title? Oh, I've been thinking...maybe...fire-something?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","walks inside" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Alright, I think the ferns are to the north and then east." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","By the tent? he smiles and nods Got it . Let's go." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","walks to the north" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","walks to the north" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He frowns. Why fire?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","walks to the north" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","walks to the east" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Alright, why fire?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","walks in from the west" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Well the creme is here. That will do." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Ferns must be another to the north and east ." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he nods Alright. Lets set to work. Wh ere do we get the cream?"

"Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Why did everyone say these mines were so ba d? I didn't get attacked." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","From these I think. He nods to the things h anging from the ceiling Berias, do you know?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","And just here. He points to the yucky thing s hanging from the ceiling I think this is where we get them. Right Berias? He glances at the tent That was my grandfathers...I sort of wonder what is inside ." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","So Speck, what happened back there with Cam ? I don't understand what you said to her that made Dinova so upset." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head and grins. Why does eve ryone think i know everything?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," Laughing I thought you'd gathered the cre me before. I never have, just watched it done. I did get the firms for the ban ages so I guess I messed up on where they were." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs I just told her we'd apprec iate it if she came along. he shakes his head slowly, and then moves to try and grab some things from the snottites " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","So Speck? You thought of a title for Beria s? He gives an interested look Specks way " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he crouches low, and then pops up in a jump, aiming to knock something down from the snottites though his hand misses by just an inch Hm? Oh, yeah. I was thinking maybe...fire-something. Since he's got a fiery personality and all..." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He frowns and sits against a wall of the ca ve. Maybe something with spirit? A spirit being the cause of this and all." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," landing from another attempted jump, t his time his fingers catch the snottite by just a little, shaking some water loo se, he glances to Berias Yeah, but the spirit didn't make you, did it? And you aren't the spirit." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shrugs. I wouldn't have a fiery persona lity if not for the spirit, i don't think." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs I thought you had one befor e that whole fiasco. he smirks and then gazes up at the snottites, pondering Yo u have a fake-tooth, too. Maybe something about that? The gem you put in there l ooks like blood...maybe bloodtooth? Or firetooth. Ragetooth?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head. I don't like how it so unds..." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs What about...um...your new axe and armor? Maybe...ragesteel? Steeltooth?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He stops and eyes his axe, running his fing er along the edge. I think i like RageSteel." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Steelflame?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","I don't really like Ragesteel. He shrugs B ut it isn't my name." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Well.... He pauses. I think it should menti on things about me, rage and steel are two." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","But the rage isn't your own...and Flame is your fiery temper." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","Fierysteel?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he nods and pauses his search for crea m for a moment. As he rolls the name around in his mouth Berias Ragesteel...Rag esteel. he shrugs and glances to Radimir I think it has a nice ring to it." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He stifles a chuckle. That sounds funny." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He nods and pulls his helmet off, his hair sweaty now. I like it." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","has foraged calcium cream" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","has foraged calcium cream" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he glances at the gathered cream and f rowns How much of this should we gather?"

"Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Well, I'd say a few each wouldn't you?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stands up and begins swinging the flat o f his axe and the ceiling. Sounds good." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he nods I think that sounds good. as he moves to catch what calcium ooze Berias knocks down, he states So, Radimir.. .I think maybe I have a title in mind for you, too. What do you think about'Peac ekeeper'?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He looks thoughtful Radimir Peacekeeper?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stops for a second and looks at RAd. I like it." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He leans over and picks up some of the cre me You dropped this Speck. He tucks it away As long as we each have three or f our pieces, we can make it along the way if we need to." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he nods again Aye, what do you think? " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He shrugs I think it fits, sort of. Sofi a would probably laugh at it but who cares? She's the only one who ever makes m e really angry." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he smiles Well, I think it fits. You certainly do a good job at keeping Berias and I from tearing each other apart so metimes, nevermind...other people." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stops and straightens his hair, then pop s his knuckles. The way i see it, every person has one person in their life to hate, and the hate is so often well deserved." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," Laughing Well okay. Lets see how it goes on the road and if all is good we'll keep it. What about you Speck?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","That's a very...cynical way of looking at it, Berias. he replies gloomily, and then looks to Radimir Well, if I'm in n o position to name myself, I can't really give myself a title, either. he frowns Though, maybe Songblade or Spiritslayer...since I did kill that Wind spirit, b ut so did Peri." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Songblade has a wonderful ring to it." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He frowns. Cynical? Either way, you can't say it isn't good to hate something every now and again, if we all loved everyon e some day people would just snap and start killing." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","...love? he blinks and then simply igno res the comment, looking to Radimir Aye, I suppose I'll be Speck Songblade, the n. he grins and nods " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stops for a minute to catch his breathe. So, Radimir PeaceKeeper, Berias RageSteel, and Speck SongBlade it is then?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","I suppose so. he wipes some sweat from his brow and glances down the tunnel for danger Interesting titles. We're an... odd bunch. he smirks " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He leans against a wall and takes his chest plate off. I'm sure there are stranger out there." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," Laughing Odd is nothing on us!" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he chuckles There certainly are. But we do make an interesting trio, in any case." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He tilts his head in a matter of fact sort of way. I guess you don't often see a father a strange wanderer and a boy with fiery rage get along every day." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He puts a hand on each of their shoulders I'm glad we're going off, even if it is just the three of us and Auda." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles. It's better then sitting around here waiting to die of old age, or by someone elses hand." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he smirks Old age? Has anyone actuall y grown so old and frail that they've died?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He shrugs. I would think so." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Not here. Laughing But somewhere they must right?"

"Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs and makes a face I've never seen it, but I hope that by the time I am so old that I can no longer accomplis h anything someone will kill me. I don't want to ever be useless." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He frowns. Elder people have things that m ake them usefull, passing knowledge on for instance." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he shakes his head That's what books are for. You write the knowledge down. It's better than just telling people." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stretches his legs. Wouldn't it be bet ter to hear from someone who saw it firsthand though?" "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","If...a person writes the truth as they saw it, isn't it the same thing? he shrugs and then quietly returns to work. " "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He shakes his head. A writing can't give e motion, and the smaller details that only seeing it would tell." "Naur, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he frowns, though he does not respond " "Naur, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","has foraged calcium cream" "Naur, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","has foraged calcium cream" "Naur, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs and turns his head to Speck. L et me put it like this, that night in the spiral, would you have rather read abo ut it or have someone tell you of it?" "Naur, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he frowns If someone wrote about i t correctly, with the right words...I think the effect would be the same. But no ne of us can describe things like that, I don't think." "Naur, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Not on parchement at least, but a person who saw it himself would know the right words. He nods his head.

That's good Peri, i tihnk i should worry less about you." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," Finishing up with the bandage, he begins working on some algae. You can still help if you like Auda." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia","I'll keep helping, just let me know if we 're finishing all this up. She smiles to Peri and Stella when they emerge from t he mines and waves a little. " "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shrugs a little, carefull not to distu rb Audas position agianst him. I'll just be making things untill Rad and Speck wake up." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir"," He frowns as he wakes up and sees Speck is still not outside the mines I'm going to go inside and check on him."

What are you doing?" "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","I was looking for Speck. Look at him! H e must have been hurt. He hands speck some salve and a bandage " "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","I'm going to gather a bit more, until he wakes up. Still looking concerned Ihave some aloe made too Speck, if you need i t." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He frowns. He's been like that since the Samhaels showed up Rad." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","He has? Frowns slightly and shrugs What are the Samhaels anyway? Those wind spirits?" "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He nods. The spirit said Samhaels are le sser spirits, and that all they do is cause misheif and annoy people." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","Ah, well he should heal up. Nods at Speck And I don't understand why he stopped here instead of just coming out." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Not all Samhaels are wind spirits, it's ju st the kind of spirit they are, along with being a wind spirit" "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir","The lesser spirits, not your fire spirit right? He looks over at Berias with curiosity " "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shrugs. I guess, if he can talk to me in my dreams i'd think he's... He stops for a minute and frowns. ...better the n the Samhaels."

"Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir"," Nodding slowly Makes sense to me. Betw een the two of you, you've experienced a lot of strange stuff..." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He pulls a small bug off of the back of h is neck. I guess you could say that, anyways i elft Auda up there and she's pro bably wondering what's going on. I should go tell her everything is fine." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He nods and walks back to the entrance. " "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Radimir"," He nods but stops Berias Wait."

"Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He smiles at Auda and places his arm ck a roundhr. EWS JUST GOING TO CHEK ON Spk ine.nds." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","((OOC:sorry, wireless keyboard.))" "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He places his arm back around Auda and sm ailes. He was just checking on Speck, they're both fine. He nods. " "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She leans against Berias again and nods, continuing to work on the bandage. Then we leave after he comes out?" "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shrugs again. We also have to wait fo r Speck to wake up too, and he always sleeps for a long time." "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He looks up and spots Tibalt, then smiles again. Hello Tibalt, how are you doing?" "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Tibalt","/I/ am well. He says it with emphasis on t he 'I' as if meaning something with it. " "Elen, 81 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He frowns. Is something wrong?" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Elvi","has foraged ivy" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt","No. He shakes his head, muttering softly " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He continues to frown and looks at Auda , then back to Tibalt. If there is something you want to say, i suggest you say it." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia"," She looks up at Tibalt and smiles a li ttle. You sure you okay, Tee?" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he steps out of the mine, stifling a yawn " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," Not getting a reply from Tibalt, he ret urns to wwatching the algae and tracing circles on Audas shoulder with his thumb . " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She waves Hi, good to see you are a wake, Mama used to squish sleeping people" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he raises an eyebrow at the girl One of your family, Berias?" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He nods. One of my older sisters." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She grins My name is Estelanta" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt"," He smirks Another that thinks hurting is the only way apparently." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he nods in response I see. You do n't look like Berias' -older- sisters, but he shrugs and grins it's a pleasure to meet you all the same. I'm afraid I haven't a name, but I've come to be calle d Speck Songblade by at least two people now." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He frowns and looks over at Tibalt. I' m going to ask you to speak lighter of my family, or at least keep your words be hind closed doors." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She smiles Speck Song-blade, that's

a nice name!" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt","I'm going to tell you to keep your own w ords behind closed doors. You are a visitor here, as is everyone of your family, yet I still have to see them honor the way we live here. He rises to his feet a nd smirks The only one with manners I've seen so far appears to be Dinova. So, yes, I'm getting agitated by your family's constant musing about violence here. what you do in your forest is something I will not comment on, as it is your hom e, but I would have hoped your family at least would be able to do the same. I'm clearly mistaken." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia"," She tilts her head and looks up at Tib alt, not saying anything. " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he does his best to hide a chuckle at Tibalt's particular assessment of Dinova before turning his attention back t o the pre-teen girl Er...thank you, I suppose." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He gently pushes Auda away and stands u p to face Tibalt. I do not speak harsh of your family, i would expect the court esy of you to do the same." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She frowns Be nice you two!Why do w e gotta fight?" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt","I do not speak harshly of your family, I speak harshly about the way they have been acting here since the first time any arrived here. His eyes narrow as he looks at Berias, but then he shakes his hea d " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He crosses his arms over his chest. Sp eaking down on how my family acts is speaking of them, i understand you're ways are different here, but be that as it may my family has done nothing to earn thi s distrust." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he turns to the two and sighs, a h aggard expression on his face for a moment before dissappearing to a stern, almo st angry look What is with you kindred and the constant fighting? Control your emotions." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia","Just don't fight. I don't know why peop le are trying to start fights, just let it go. Tibalt you're old enough to know better." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She frowns, putting herself between Tibalt and Berias and scowling, trying to look intimidating despite the fact her forehead barely reached Berias's chin No more fighting! You two play nice!" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He looks at Speck and smiles, in a know ing sort of way, then takes a deep breathe and sits down with Auda again, placin g his arm back around her. " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta","((Reaches*))" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia","Cause right now, you don't look good at all with what you doing. She shakes her head at Tibalt and looks back to her wo rk, her eyes very disappointed. " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt","Courtesy has to come both ways, wouldn't you think. We welcomed your family here, allow them to dig in the mines, use ou r food and medicine and what do we get in return? They hunted without there bein g a need for it, they hunted without preparing themselves for it, they agitated the animals making them attack back, they spilled blood and spoke of how strong they were upsetting OUR children here. Tell me I'm wrong, Berias. Tell me that a ll this was just a show of respect for us... It was not! You're guests here, yet you have been acting as if this is your place. I'll no longer take it." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt"," He shakes his head at Auda and sighs N o, auda, they are old enough to know better." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia","We won't be here for much longer Tibalt . Did you not know that? You will be happy soon." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he lets out a frustrated sigh and simply chooses not to comment on the situation as he makes his way over to the p ond, dropping to a crouch and using the water to clean his face of dirt and rock dust from the mines "

"Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," without looking up, he talks to Tibalt. I understand, and on behalf of my family i apologize. Now lets return to wroki ng, because evidently the sooner i leave the better." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia","So are you Tibalt. You all are, yet you fight like little babies. We won't be here soon so just stop it. Shw scowls ang rily and hits at the algae she was working on. Stupid.." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She looks around, crestfallen I'm s orry uhh... uhh.. Ti-balt. I didn't do those things, but... but, if you want I c an doo stuff to make things good. She looks around again I-I just don't know wh at I can do..." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia","You not talk, just quarrel and say you won't stand for it. You stay there angry and drop stupid remarks instead of try to help them fix it. She goins on in a rant, still hitting at the algae a little too hard. " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he glances up from the water to th e pre-teen girl Don't apologize if you haven't done anything wrong yet, he's ma king a generalization." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He reaches around her back and gently g rabs her arm, and looks her in the eye. Calm down Auda, we don't need this endi ng up like the fight with Dinova." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt"," He sighs and sits down again, closing h is eyes as he leans against a tree, murmuring Why can't Kindred accept Lorelei and treat it with respect? Oh, Elva... I'm sorry for my words if they hurt you, but I could no longer remain quiet. His eyes slowly open again as he turns his g aze to Berias Apologies accepted and... I apologize if it looked as if I was sp eaking down on your family. It wasn't my intention. I've just seen enough blood in my life to no longer want to hear about it..." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia"," She looks to Berias a long while then drops her gaze, nodding and taking in a deep breath. She leans against him again and focuses on her work, still giving a little shake of her head at the ongoing situation. " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He releases Audas arm and turns to Tiba lt. I've just gotten tired of the constant remarks, and then the fight with Din ova has set me on edge." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Audosia","He could've still talked instead of bei ng accusing but it's done now. She says quietly to Berias and pats his arm. Did you leave my father in the mines?" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She looks down at her shoes, suddenl y shy oh-okay, I just got here and so much has happened, Lory-lei is alot more busy than the forest..." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He turns back to Auda and nods. He'll be fine, he's just getting more clacium." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Meriard"," Meri comces in looking tired from work ing on her project and hearing this last part, pales slightly and mumbles I'm s orry... that was my fault..." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt"," His ears perk Fight with Dinova? A sof t growl follows I guess it's really in our ways then...even though I had hoped it just had to do with not knowing... better ways. He smiles shortly at Estelant a It's all good, Estelanta...I... I overreacted and am sorry for that. Just... please don't talk about... well, what your mama does with sleepies... He shakes his head and then smiles Would you like a comb? I could make you one like Zose e has." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he looks to Auda Aye, he's gather ing cream in one of the safer passages, I believe. he nods and then pushes to hi s feet, rubbing his left shoulder " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She nods Thank you, I'm sorry if wh at I said was mean, I didn't know that was a bad thing... Mama and I... we didn' t talk a lot about stuff... she looks down at the floor again, shy " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt"," He blinks Is the medicine up again?" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Meriard"," She quickly dashes back, stumbling ove

r her own feet as she goes back to the base of the tree she is working under and settles again to work some more on bow " "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," he raises a hand in greeting to Ra dimir Hey, glad to see you're awake!" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Tibalt"," He chuckles I guess mama mama Melian i sn't much of a talker... Come here, Estelanta, I'll try make it good again. He p ats right next to where he's sitting against the tree and then begins to carve i n a bit of wood I'll make you a nice comb." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","So are we about ready? Just you noddin g to Speck and Berias both me and Auda right? Or did anyone else say they woul d come?" "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","And Tibalt? I'd like to talk to you fo r a minute before we leave." "Gurtha, 81 - Midnight, hr 1","Estelanta"," She smiles I wanna help! can you sh ow me how?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Elvi","has foraged aloe vera" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Broden","Dried Algae has been constructed" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia"," She waves over at Meri Hey Meri. Y ou okay?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he nods to Radimir Aye, I foun d a game trail leading to the Southwest when I was...away a few days ago. We can follow that, to start. I'll be waiting by it while you all say your goodbyes. h e shrugs I don't think anyone else is coming, so we should be good to go." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia","Oh Stella, were you coming too?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Tibalt"," He looks up, then at Estelanta and n ods I'll be inside for a bit, but I'll finish this for you, kay? You can help p erhaps, it's not too hard. You just need to make this flat and then cut gaps in it so you get many long teeth on one side or both." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir"," He sighs slightly upon hearing nobo dy else was coming but nods at Speck Okay. Let me see if Tibalt has a moment, and I should say goodbye to Zos and check my house. Auda, did you take anything in there you wanted?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Tibalt"," He smiles and gets up Just be caref ull not to cut in your fingers, Este! He chuckles, ruffles the girl's hair and t hen gets up to follow Radimir And... sorry again, Ber. It was a bit too much. I 'll talk a bit when I'm back from my chat with Radimir." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir"," He looks over at Auda Please make sure you're full before we leave okay?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Tibalt, shall we go inside my house or yours?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He nods at Tibalt. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia","I have to go see if I want anything. I forgot. She sits up from beside Berias then stands, ruffling his hair gently then walking to the house. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he nods to Radimir and then qui etly moves to the edge of the clearing in which the camp is set. Sitting beneath a tree as he awaits the others, he pulls his flute from where it hangs from his waist and begins to play a tune to pass the time. It is a light-hearted, happy song that brings to mind something reminiscent of sprawling, windswept plains co vered in snow and great majestic purple mountaintops. Within the haunting, yet o therwise jovial tune, is just the smallest hint of longing. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia","I will daddy! She answers, disappear ing into the house. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He elans over Auda more to block her from the heavy hail, bits smashing against hir armor. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia","walks into the Small Bone House" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","*He smiles as he watches her go, and continues to watch the algae" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Estelanta"," She looks over at Speck, her lith

e hands stilling on the comb That's a pretty sound, how do you make it?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","I'm not sure what happened to the th ings Zos gave us. He shrugs I hope someone found good use for them since they a ren't inside anymore." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia","walks out of the Small Bone House" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia"," She steps out of the house and hold s her shield over her head from the hail and runs back over to Berias. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," The algae finished, he stands up and walks over to where Peri is and hugs him tightly. Goodbye, little one. He stan ds back up and walks over to where Speck is and sits beside him. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","I'm sorry I don't know what happened to the netting and things Zos gave us but was there anything else you wanted?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Tibalt","walks into the Small Bone House" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir"," He stands, following Tibalt. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","walks into the Small Bone House" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he finishes the song and lowers the flute from his lips just in time for the instrument to avoid a chunk of ice as he looks over to the pre-teen girl The song? Well, the wood has holes in it . When I cover certain holes and blow into one end, it makes a sound. Different sounds depend on which holes I cover with my fingers. he pauses a moment I thin k it may be littler wind spirits than the ones Peri and I killed, when they get blown through the holes, they shout and that's what really makes the music." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He motions over to Auda from the tre e near the end of the clearing and calls over. Come over here when you're ready to go." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia"," She pats the helmet on her head and keeps the shield above her head as she makes her way over quickly to Berias and Speck under a large tree. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Estelanta","EEK! She squeals as the hail assau lts her, causing her to grab her comb and race under the tree Yikes, the sky is falling!" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Estelanta"," her eyes widen That's amazing... " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he slips the flute back into th e chord that it hangs from with a small sigh, and slowly stands, walking over to the girl. Placing his back to the hail, and facing her so that she is between h imself and the tree, he effectively blocks the missiles of ice It's just hail, calm down. All you need is something to keep them from hitting you." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Estelanta"," She blushes, embarassed Thank yo u, I've never seen hail before..." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia"," She smiles to Berias and keeps the shield up still cautiously from the hail. " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he frowns and turns slightly, a chunk of hail slamming into his carapace pauldron as he looks around I'm leavi ng fairly soon, so I can't stand here and keep the hail off you forever. We shou ld probably find something you can use as a shield." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He puts his arm around Auda protecti vly, and calls over to Speck. Should we be going? What's taking Rad so long?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Estelanta"," She nods Okay, I'm going to you know, Should I carry stuff too?" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Camelia"," As the hail starts, she grabs the a nimal skin she was working on and runs to hide under the tree with Meri and Bard oc. She mumbles unhappily, Rocks from the sky again..." "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he glances over to Berias He's talking with Tibalt. There's no rush right now, though, unless hail is enough t o make you frenzy he smirks and then looks back to the girl You are? Well, that 's good. I thought we four where the only people. he shrugs I'm only carrying m y bags, journal, flute, and some food. We want to travel light, so as long as yo u aren't weight down, and you have about two or three pieces of roasted meat, yo u'll be fine."

We don't want a pack of wolves on us. he moves to follow the game trail he ment ioned earlier, pausing for a moment to turn around and give a quick nod to every one else " "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","travels Southwest" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He turns again and waves to everyone . Bye guys!" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri","travels Southwest" "Gurtha, 81 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He walks off through he forest, Auda

" "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he pulls the flute from his lips as he sees Berias walk into the clearing, leaving Estalanta whistling alone. He also stops his patrol, and grins Hey, Berias. Glad to see you could make it. Want me to carry something for you from now on?" "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He vomits and peels his helmet off, then hi s armor. That must be at LEAST 50 pounds..." "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He tosses the armor and helmet to the groun d and takes a deep breathe. Whoever wants to carry that stuff can, i can't take it any more." "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stands up straight and pushes his head t o the side, making a loud pop. Where is Radimir?" "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he does his best to hide a grin as Ber ias vomits Heh, just like when we first met. I'm on guard, and you're vomiting. he chuckles and moves to say something else when a horrific screech echoes from the sky. Blinking, he looks up to see the source: His flute playing has attract ed the attention of the winged woman in the sky. Scowling, he draws his sword an d readies his shield to block the flying hag's swoop " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," has fled from The Aht-ahl-hai" "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," as the flying woman swoops down, she b egins to sing a horrendously beautiful song, and the man's eyes seem to glaze ov er for a moment as his shoulders slack, just long enough for her to pass by, cla wing at him mid-air before he can even react. She turns to do so again, and once more moments before he would raise his shield to block the incoming blow, or pa rry with his blade, the music seems to take effect and his arms simply go limp, his mind numb as her claws rake him once more. Staggering back, blood flowing fr om several open wounds, the twenty one year old begins to sprint into the woods, narrowly avoiding the occasional attack, though every now and then the song tak es effect and an attack hits. Only once does he get off an attack of his own, an d then his blade is neatly parried by one her talons. After a time, he loses her in the forest. A few minutes later, he returns, limping into the campsite " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He sees the scuffle iwth Speck and the bird woman and quickly grabs up his armor and puts it back on, and charges the bird woman. " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," has killed The The Enra" "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He charges the enra and catches its legs as it swoops overhead, and it lets out a deafening wail as he takes on of its feet off. It swoops back around and catches him in the neck with its talons, and sen ds the teen reeling to the ground. He stands back up and roars, and as the creat ure swoops back again he splits it from the waist down with his axe. " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he leans against a tree, panting as he presses his hand to a gash in his stomach, doing his best to stem the bleeding Well, we know to stay away from those..." "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He tears his helmet off and grabs his neck, a superficial but still very bloody wound going across it. Mama even hand trou ble killing them... He chokes the words out. " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He pulls his armor off and inspects it, fin ding no scratches he nods and sets it down. " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he pulls some cream from his straw sac k and quickly gets to work with mixing it, wincing slightly as he drops to a cro uch to do so " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," still holding his neck, he uses one hand to gut the creature and shave some of the rough feathers. " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stuffs some entrails in a pouch and clos es it up, saving it for later. "

"Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He picks his armor up and reclines against a tree. " "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He takes a deep breathe and removes his han d from his throat, the blood coagulated for the most part. I'm gonna get a head start, are you okay here with Auda and Stella?" "Vasa, 81 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he looks up and nods Aye, I'll be fin e. Doesn't even hurt, and I can handle the other creatures here." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He frowns as he puts his armor back on a gain. Uhhh....never mind, i think i'll stay and help with the salve so we can a ll get going sooner..." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he looks up and his eyes narrow sli ghtly, as if he is suddenly offended by the offer of help I'm fine, Berias. You can go ahead, I'm not hurt at all, really." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He looks at Speck and takes his helmet b ack off, and frowns again. I know you Speck, don't assume i'm doing this to hel p you. This is so we can move faster." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he sighs softly, and then returns t o work, quietly responding Fine, alright. Just...I've accepted too much help fr om the Kindred already, I need to start doing things on my own again." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head and mutters. Still d osen't get it...." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he frowns and glances up I don't g et what?" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," Sitting cross legged he shakes his head a little and puts his hands on his knees, his wide shoulders framing his face. You're one of us, stupid." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he frowns and looks up once more, p ausing in his work In appearance, maybe. But I am not a kindred. Even if I were , I've accepted too much help already." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head again. You've been l iving in Lorelei, home of the Kindred, you've been a big help to everyone, and e veryone has helped you in return. You said it yourself, i'm more your brother th en your actual brother, so i consider it fact." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he shakes his head, and falls silen t for a time. After a while, he responds That...that doesn't make me a Kindred. he forces a smile, and looks up It's nice, but...I'll be a plainsman till the day I die." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He cocks his head to the side. Plainsma n or not in your eyes, you're Kindred in mine." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he sighs and returns to work, quiet ly murmuring Then your eyes decieve you, Berias." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He looks down and continues working. I' m sure you could ask anyone and they would agree with me." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he frowns, and then glances over fo r to the eldest girl for a moment Estalana. In your eyes am I a Kindred, or a P lainsman?" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She rubs her eyes and yawns, blinking s leep from them. Oh, hey Berias. You made it." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He reaches over and russles Audas hair. Morning sleepy. Do you see Speck as Kindred?" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Estelanta"," She quickly walks over to the two of them Who says we have to be Plainsman or Kindred, the five of us are our own pe ople now. Which means we have to get to the new colony alive, right?" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he frowns Perhaps, Estelanta...but , he simply shrugs before continuing the plains will always be my home, and so I'll always be a Plainsman. It...isn't like a name, in that I can lose it throug h my actions." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He frowns, but dosen't look up from the salve. You can lose that as easily as a name Speck, although harsher action mus t be taken. Tell me, you've left your home, you've left your name, what do you h

ave left that tells someone you are from somewhere else?" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","Calcium Salve has been constructed" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She looks to Speck and squints. I just think Speck is Speck. He's whatever he sees himself as. We can't really label h im. She runs her fingers down Berias hair gently and smiles. " "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he lifts his armor and slowly begin s to apply the salve to the massive gash as he replies Because, Berias. My bein g from the plains isn't like my name. The plainsgrass, the snowy fields, the rol ling hills...those are part of me. It's as if the spirit that inhabits the land of the plains has intertwined with my own. I can not leave it behind in any way. " "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he finishes applying the cream and allows his armor to fall and cover the injury once more before standing from his crouch I lost my name because I failed my family, and I lost it again because I gave it up willingly. Make no mistake, though. All plains are home to me, and I'll never give that up willingly or otherwise." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He shakes his head again, and puts his a rm around Auda. I'm not asking you to leave your memories, or the things that m ake you you. I'm asking that you see that as different as you are, you're my bro ther now." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he smiles softly To be a Kindred, one must have the blood of a Kindred... he pauses before adding, as kindly as po ssible And we may be brothers in word and thought, Berias, but...even if I have abandoned my family, I can never join another by blood." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs. Not in blood Speck, being a b rother runs deeper then that. We may not share the same blood, or the same home but i know when i turn around i can find you there in my time of need, and you c an do the same with me. is that not what brothers are?" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he chuckles at this Veon was quite the opposite of what you just described. Nevertheless, I suppose you are right. However, it no more makes me a Kindred than it makes you a Plainsman." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles a little. I don't need your c onsent to call you my brother, so feel free to have your own veiws." "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he smirks Very well, then. with a pained shrug, he turns and limps over to help with the straw hat " "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He scoots back a few inches adn rests hi s back against a tree, gently tugging Auda along with him. " "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He begins toying with Audas curls. Say Auda, would you like a title?"

"Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Estelanta","used*" "Vasa, 81 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he raises an eyebrow and looks to t he girl Aye, it's called mating. he frowns and looks her up and down Most peop le your age...know about it."

The one mama used to do when nobody was looking..." "Vasa, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","((Hmm, female = having kids))" "Vasa, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he frowns No. It isn't really a dan ce. See...uh...well, I explained it to Berias the other day, too. he pauses a mo ment, remembering how he explained it to the other boy But, it was a bit easier to explain to him, since he's male, too. See, when you mate...you need a male, and you need a female..." "Vasa, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","((OOC:I asked if she wanted a title, not k iddies >_>:))"

And then, the woman doesn't have one. So the guy s ticks his penis into her, and thrusts a bit. And then, well...babies. he states this as if it is not at all awkward to talk about, the pauses really only being there as he finds a way to articulate the idea " "Vasa, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He begins to speak to Auda, then frowns a nd turns to listen to Speck. " "Vasa, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He listens to Speck, then looks down, and back up at Speck, a worried look coming across his face. Wait, you mean to tel l me.....?"

"Vasa, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he looks to Estelanta and responds w ith simply: A penis. after a long pause, he realizes that really explains nothi ng, and then continues It's a body part that only males have. I'm sure you'll s ee one someday, if not on another of your race, on an animal. Males of other spe cies have them as well." "Vasa, 81 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he gives Berias a nod Aye.

"Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He gently yanks her down and puts his ar m around her. Speck got here faster, and he was carrying my armor!" "Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia"," She giggles at Berias and gives him a t ight squeeze with her arms when she sits. Yeah, well.. he walks fast. see how t all he is? Longggg legs." "Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He smiles and resumes working ont he bon e tube, his arm still around her. Pffft, i'm at least two heads taller than him ." "Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he nods Aye, I'm not exactly tall. " "Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He looks at Speck, some seriousness in h is eyes. And be thankful for it, being tall is no fun." "Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia","And I'm short. She shrugs and pokes Beri as in the side gently before helping to work on the tube. So where to from here ?" "Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He brings his left hand up and scratches his head. Uhm, Speck said....south-west again, then south. He nods. " "Khelek, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he nods Aye, that's it. If you all want, I can even show you on my map." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Estelanta","Bone Scroll Tube has been constructed" "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Audosia","Can I see the map, Speck?" "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He finishes up with the tube and looks ov er at Speck. Should we get moving or wait for Rad and Stella to wake up?" "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he nods and pulls a rolled up map fr om where it hangs next to his journal-scroll, passing it over to Auda Here you are." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks up at Speck again. I tihnk i'd like a tube as well, i'm going to amke a new journal for myself, and it'd be nic e to have somewhere to put it." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he nods and moves to help with Beria

s That's a good idea. My journal is stained with blood and other things from th e mines, some parts aren't legible. I'll probably do something like that in the future, too." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks down and to his right at Auda. Do you think you could start on some parchment? I can use that untill i can figu re out how to make a journal." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Audosia","Thanks for the map, Speck and sure, I cou ld do that, Beri. She smiles to him and sets to work " "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Audosia"," As she works, she flips open her journal and looks into it, smiling a little. Zos wrote me before we left, I'm only now reading it." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He peeks a little over her head. What di d she write?" "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Audosia","Want to read it? She asks, opening up the journal on her lap. " "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," His eyes open a little wider, and he scra tches his head again. Oh, um alright." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Audosia"," She rests the journal on Berias' lap and nods, pointing near the bottom of the page. It's my secrets, no speaking them okay?" "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He nods, a serious look on his face. I u nderstand." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He hands her back the journal, a small sm ile on his face. Everybody in Lorelei is so nice, i kinda wish we never left... " "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Audosia"," She closes the journal and rests it in h er backpack. Yeah, most of them are nice. But I don't mind us moving either, it 's pretty exciting." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sighs and puts his arm back around her . I hope nothing happens while we're gone..." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He smiles as the others arrive Welcome. And you two know I can hunt too right? I'm not half bad and mean to improve. But if you'd like to get started, I can wait for Estelanta and then follow. Oh a nd Auda, when we get to our destination, I'd like to write in your journal." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he looks up at Radimir and smiles I know you can hunt. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that people from Lorelei -do- hunt. taking Estelanta's blanket off of his own shoulders and draping it over her sleeping form, he pushes to his feet and stifles another ha cking cough and looking around the clearing for a moment Once we finish Berias' case and scroll, we can all head forward as a group." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia","Sounds like a good idea. She grins up at Speck and her father, keeping her side against Berias. Just need Stella to wake up." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," he bends down and whispers to Auda. Am i really funny to look at?" "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia"," She snickers and shakes her head. No.. your hair isn't all bad now." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He frowns and mutters. I liked my hair.. ." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia"," She runs her fingers through Berias hair . You still -have- hair. It's just clean and shorter." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He continues to mutter, almost pouting no w. I like it better with more red.." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia"," She laughs a little at Berias and gives him a squeeze with her arms. You can always have more red in it whenever and cl ean it whenever to. It just smells better now." "Khelek, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He hugs Auda a little with his right arm and sighs. I guess i'll make do.."

"Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He nods. I could put other written th ings int here for safe keeping though." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Alright. Better than having it all cru mple for sure or getting wet. She smiles a little. I should make one someday." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He smiles back at her. Well you have a journal, it won't really get wet if you keep it in a bag." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","True. She looks to her leather backpac k and pats it gently. Has Stella been up since we got here?" "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He scratches at the scars on his face and looks over at the sleeping girl. Uh, yeah. She was awake for a little while ." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He gently pushes Auda away and stsnds up and shirks his breast plate off, carefull to avoid irritating the still fresh cut on his left shoulder. This armor gets so cold from the snow, i wish i had brought some shirts along... He sits back down and replaces his arm around Auda. " "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he glances at Berias for a moment Aye, I'd be careful were I you. My father died of the cold, and he was only we aring iron leggings." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He smiels at Speck. Some people were born to deal with the cold. He reaches to his left and pulls his bracelet from h is crate and slips it on his wrist and returns to the parchment. " "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs and moves to slowly pat rol the perimeter of their clearing once more Aye. I suppose some are."

"Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","((OOC: I really feel as if i should poi nt out taht comment was refering to body heat >_>:))" "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","OOC I was aware lol" "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She looks to her father and tilts her head slowly.

"Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He notcies Auda has finished the parch ment. Auda, can i have my parchment?" "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She passes the parchment over to Beri as after finishing it and looking it over. " "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles at her and immediatly sets t o scribbling on it. "

"Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She tilts her chin up a little as her brows raise up, curiously watching Berias. " "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," He shakes his head but finally speaks quietly again Nothing to worry about. Just need to speak to you privately and I doubt we'll have a chance while we're traveling." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he pauses in his patrol and yawns before turning to Radimir Doing that may work, but shortly after you left and Berias arrived at our last stop, an aht-ahl-hai attacked. he shrugs I don't see any here, but we may want to stay together, just to be safe. That's a decision everyone should make, though." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He looks up at Auda for a minute, then returns to writing. " "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She sits back a bit and lays her head at the back of Berias arm, her arms resting loosely around him.

"Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He looks over at Speck and nods. You to, Speck." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he simply looks to Berias and giv es a short nod in response " "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He rests his arm back around Auda and looks up at Speck again. So do you think we should get moving like Rad said?" "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he frowns and shrugs Like I said , that isn't a decision that we should be making alone. I think we should stick together, just in case someone is badly hurt. That way, everyone else can move t o help them. he coughs into his fist once more, though this is less pronounced, and then shrugs again On the other hand, I understand Radimir's suggestion. The faster we move, the less resources we'll waste." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He frowns. Well i'd like to get a hea d start, since i'm lugging all this armor around..." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he nods tiredly That may be a go od idea. It's up to you. I think I'll get some rest, though. I haven't had much sleep since we left, staying on guard and all, and moving about like this won't heal my injuries as quickly as a good night's sleep will." "Khelek, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs. True, i may not be as wound ed as you but i could use some actual rest as well..." "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","So.. the next time we're all awake we'l l move?" "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs That looks to be the pl an. It should all come down to popular consensus. But I'm going to get rest, if I can." "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods. Sounds good to me, i need a b reak from walking.." "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","Resting is good, we'll get there soon e nough. She yawns then and cuddles up to Berias. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He scoots back a few inches and recline s against the base of a large tree, covering them from most of the snowfall and tugs Auda along with him, yawns and stares up at the sky. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Cathal Adri"," he moves to a tree near the center of the clearing. Kicking away snow, he lays down in the dry patch and uses one of his hide bags as a pillow. Within moments, he has fallen asleep. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir"," Watching everyone sleeping, he sits wi th his back against a tree, watching over everyone and keeping his ears open for anything that might come from behind You all sleep well he says softly and I' ll keep watch." "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia"," She closes her eyes and remains snuggl ed against Berias, her hand reaching for her blanket to pull it over herself and Berias from the snow as well.

s to stare up at the sky. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He hugs Auda a little closer and drifts off to sleep. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," Seeing everyone is asleep, he gently mo ves away from Auda and goes off to the edge of the clearing and begins to write on his parchment. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He puts the parchment back in the tube and sits, staring at Auda and the others with sadness in his eyes. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He turns around and scales a tree, reac hing the highest branch he stops to catch his breath, and he looks down at every one. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He takes his knife and cuts a sizeable chunk of wood from the tree and pries it free, then bites down on it.

" "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She stirs a little in her sleep and cu rls her legs up before opening her eyes and looking next to her. Beri..? She si ts up a bit and spots him and then smiles, laying back down again. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He notcies Auda stirring and frowns, th en quietly continues with what he's doing. He takes the knife and plces it again st his other arm, and does the same. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She closes her eyes again but doesn't drift off to sleep but rolls onto her back, keeping the blanket up to her chin. Beri? She asks again sleepily. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He continues to frown and puts his knif e away, then wipes his arms off, but the blood is already freezing to them.

"Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She opens her eyes and sits up a littl e, keeping the blanket up to her and then laying it over Berias soon after. You okay?

"Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She lifts her chin off Berias' arm and squints at him dubiously. Hmm... okay. Was.. it anything?" "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He continues to smile, although looking much more forced now. It was nothing, just a noisy wolf is all." "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She watches Berias' face still then fr owns, tilting her head slightly. Are you sure? You don't seem like.. usual." "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He nods a little. I'm fine Auda, it wa s just a wolf." "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She doesn't look very convinced but sl owly nods and lays back, closing her eyes. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He sighs and closes his eyes as well. " "Khelek, 82 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia","You know you can talk to me. I don't kn ow as much as you but I can just listen sometimes if that's all you need. She sp eaks it in a whisper then reaches over, feeling for his hand.

But we' d only set up a tent to use as temporary shelter, while we build city walls. Onc e those have been put up, we can dig houses underground, or build other houses, inside the city."

"Vasa, 82 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Alright guys, we're here. We should do t wo things I'm thinking. First hunt enough to get hide and make a tent, so we ca n get out of the elements if necessary.

"Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," without taking his eyes off the g irl this time, he answers Try a knife, I think you only need to cut the hides. Once I've made sure we aren't going to be stabbed from behind while working, I'l l help you out a bit." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","I totally tried a knife. He laughs Se riously?

"Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He notices the strange girl and smiles . Hello, what's your name?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann"," She looks at them all carefully, slightly startled by the sight of so many of them. She slowly moves closer, her eyes not closing to even blink or whatever. My name is Ann. She says in a mysterious vo ice, pure and nice to listen to. Her eyes just look at all of them, one by one, again and again, slowly. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He walks up to her and gets down on on e knee, so they are roughly face to face. Hello Ann, i am Berias. What are you doing out here by yourself?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann","I remember falling a long while. She walks closer to Berias, seeming fascinated by his looks or something else about him. Her head moves left and right as she performs her visual studies on the lad's bo dy and face. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He ignores her strange actions and smi les again, his tooth blinting in the sunlight. That's strange, do you know wher e you fell from?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Falling Ann? He his eyes widden slight ly at the thought Are you okay? He stops working on the tent to look her over a s though searching for injuries. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann"," Her head rotates to look left of her thro ugh the trees. Silence. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He frowns and turns around to fish thr ough his crate, muttering while he does. He pulls out an old shirt and hands it to her. Here you go, you'll die if it gets any colder like that." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Good idea Berias. I'll look through m y things, I think I've got some spare clothes on me. He sighs at the lack of res ponse from Ann Well you're welcome to stay with us if you want - we're forming a colony here. We're Kindred, what are your people called?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann"," She looks at Radimir, then walks past the m all and leans against a tree with her back. I do not know, Kindred people." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He watches her walk away and stands up , shirking his helmet off he shakes his head to free most of his hair, he sets h is helmet down and stits on it. Well you have to have come from somehwere." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","Umm...well it is what we call ourselve s. Except for Speck but he's practically Kindred anyway. Grins and winks at Spe ck Who were your parents?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Ann"," She looks at the youngest girl with the b rown hair, eyes wide open and staring even. It creates a rather rude but also nav e image of herself. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He frowns at Ann, then stands up and w

alks over to Auda. I'm sorry about before, i just wasn't feeling very good." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia"," She gives a little shrug and puts her things down. It's fine. I hope you're okay now, Berias. She looks to the older girl and notes her hair and eyes dubiously. Who she?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He looks back at the girl then at Auda . That's Ann, she.....fell here. He nods. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Estelanta"," She giggles Will you stay with us, o' Falling Ann?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He looks at Stella and sighs, then wal k a few feet away from Auda and sits down against the trunk of a large tree, and shirks his breastplate off. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia","Fell? She giggles and looks at Ann, gi ving a nod, Okay then." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia"," She begins to unpack some of her thin gs and sits against a nearby tree. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Ann"," She continues to stare at the youngest gi rl. Doing so in perfect silence. And, oh so subtly and easily, her arms slid int o a crossed position over her chest. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia","Should I put all the salve in the box? " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He stands back up and walks over to th e tent and sits down, then begins cutting strips of hide. Ann, why not put on t hat shirt i gave you?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","Auda, will you help with the tent plea se?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","And Speck? I have no problem starting the city first if you'd prefer. He shrugs slightly " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","Most of our extra tools are there in t he bags on the ground if anyone needs them." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," He puts some sandals down near Ann H ere, you can have these too." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia","Sure dad but where to put the salve al so?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","Oh... He shrugs Perhaps in the amphor a? it isn't filled yet is it?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia","I'll fit in as many as I can. She smil es to him and begins unpacking her backpack as she moves to sit by the tent now. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Ann"," Carefully she slides her gentle pretty fe et into the sandals. The ivy shirt she finally recognizes as being a shirt after some fumbling and failing, then shrugs herself in. Thanks." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," He smiles to see Ann putting the thin gs on and nods to her before turning back to Auda Thanks sweetie. He tilts his head I do think you just had a birthday too, didn't you?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He stops working on the tent and looks up at Radimir. So Rad, we're here now, what did you want to talk about?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","Ann? Turning back to her for a moment? Are you hungry? He places a baked piece of fish near her on a flat rock " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","Ah. He coughs, motioning Berias away f rom the others Why don't we go talk over here? He points to the hills nearby bu t far enough away that the others won't hear them " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia","Mmmhmm, had a birthday on our way here ." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He stands up slowly and ods, an unsure look on his face. Alright. He ndos and walks off to the hills. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," Before moving that direction with Ber ias he gives Auda a hug, speaking in low tones Remember what we talked about? You're old enough to decide for yourself now, but if you need me, I'll be here f or you okay? He hugs her for a few moments Happy Birthday. Your mama would be proud if she could see you right now."

"Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," With that he lets her go and walks ov er to the hills, waiting until they were completely out of earshot to speak I w anted to talk to you about Auda." "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He fornws a little. Ok, what about he r?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","You two seem to have become rather clo se over the last few years. She's old enough now to make her own decisions, but with Cailin dead I'm the only one she has left. I'll only tell you this once, because I do like and respect you but Berias if you hurt my daughter, it won't m atter how strong you are. He raises a brow I'm not trying to threaten you, I'm just telling you a fact. I love Auda, and she's the only family I have now so w hile I don't mind if you have inentions toward her, I also don't want her hurt. Are we clear?" "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia"," She smiles at the hug and reurns one of her own before her father and Berias go off in the distance. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He continues to frown and scratches at the scars on his face. I understand Rad, but i want you to know i'd never hurt her. He nods and without another word walks back to the clearing and continues working on the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," He watches Berias walk back and with a shrug he follows, not saying another word " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He stands up and puts all of his armor bac k on, then looks at Rad. I'm going to hunt to get more hide, we'll need to make more clothes and tents. With that he nods and sets off between the tree. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir","Uh Berias? Why don't we wait until the ci ty is built? We won't need more until then..." "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," has killed The GrinWolf" "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," has killed white-tailed deer" "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He walks out from the tree with a large de er and strange creature, then sets about skinning them. I tihnk this should be enough for some clothes." "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He finishes skinning the animals and wipes his hands off on the grass, then returns to working on the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia"," She finishes unpacking the backpack and p utting a few items into the amphora then drops a few bits of coal near the other items being collected before returning to help work on the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He stops and pulls a sheaf of parchments f rom a bone tube and beings writing on the,. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He rolls the parchment back up and stuffs it in the tube, then resumes working on the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He looks over towards Auda and motions for her to come over. Auda, i'd like to ask you something." "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ann"," She takes the carp and eats from it carefully , having moved down to the ground and slipped into a comfortable position tailor 's fashion. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia"," She turns her head to look to Berias then pushes up from where she sits by the tent to steps over to Berias. Everything alright?" "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He nods. I was just wondering....do you t hink i would ever hurt you?" "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia"," She looks to Berias a long while then sit s beside him and smoothes her skirt down. Hmm.. I don't know. I don't think you would. Why do you ask..?" "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He rubs the back of his neck and shkes his head. I...was just wondering what you thought of me..." "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia","Well, I've known you a few years now and I did think you were odd at first because of the hair but you don't seem like you 'd just hurt people.. She looks to Berias now and offers a soft smile. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He smiles a little and looks down backa t his work. Thanks, Auda..."

"Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia"," She just nods and smiles again then retur ns to helping with the tent after give Berias' arm a gentle rub. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia"," She glances to Berias and smiles a bit th en looks to the tent as progress continues. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he remains silent but on guard throug hout the conversation. Even afterwards he continues to keep a watchful eye on th e girl till, eventually, he simply turns with a shrug, moving to help Radimir an d the others with the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He sees Speck moving about and nods toward s him, then calls over to Ann. Hey Ann, would you mind helping with the tent?" "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," Noticing the others working around him he grins We'll have this done in no time. If we all keep working together like th is we'll have the city and mines up in no time as well." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he gives a curt nod Aye. This'll go f aster than we think. he frowns Any idea how to make an oven, though?" "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He shrugs Not a clue. I am pretty sure w e had one made of sandstone back at Lorelei...and I want to say of marble in the mountain. I think Papa found the stone for that in the mines. So we'll probab ly have to search out enough stone in the mines to make one - if you want the mi ne to be dug out after the city, I think an oven should be our first priority af ter that, followed perhaps by a kiln." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri","I found a sandstone kiln and a marble o ven in the Cold Mountain Safehouse, and I'm fairly certain we used one made of g ranite back at the plains. Come to think of it...just about everything was made of granite. he makes a face and then shrugs I suppose we'll need to experiment. " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","You're right. He nods We may just have to use whatever we find the most of first." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Animal Skin Tent has been constructed" "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Wow...that was really quick." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He sorts through the bags until he comes a cross the right tool, then begins digging in an entrance to their new city direc tly opposite the forest, right before the hills " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he barks out a laugh That's because t here were a lot of us working on it. Regardless, I'm going to go hunt. I think.. .I'd like to talk to you about something when I get back, unless you'd like to c ome. he shrugs " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He nods to Speck I can come with you. Th ough I'd prefer to heal a little before I hunt again, I can certainly practice s talking. He grins at Speck " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he arches an eyebrow You don't look a ny worse off than I am, but alright. I'm going after a bear, in any case. Or per haps a wolf. I figure we could use the pelts for any potential children. he glan ces at Estelanta with a slightly odd expression before heading off into the wood s. " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","I figure one of us has to be in decent shap e. Grins and follows him into the woods " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he chuckles at this, and then immediat ely drops into a low crouch upon entering the brush. For a moment, it seems as i f he is simply staring at the ground, till eventually he moves a leaf aside to r eveal several game tracks. He nods, and then stands, stalking silently through t he woods. " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He mimics Speck, nodding at him to lead th e way. Though obviously not as skilled at this as Speck, he isn't a newbie eith er and makes very little noise to Speck's more silent movement " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he finally comes to a stop, crouched i n the underbrush. He glances up at the sky, and smiles at the snow that makes it s way through the top layer of foliage before looking back to the other man and speaking in a hushed voice The path splits here. Well, the one we were followin g keeps going, but another crosses it, and a little further up there's another.

he shrugs, and then continues One looks like a bear, with the snow I can't tell what the others are, though." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," Speaking just as quietly Would you prefer to find out what the others are? Or go afterthe bear?" "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs and runs a finger across the scar beneath his eye As long as it isn't another aht-ahl-hai or wind spirit, I don't think it matters what they are. They both look pretty old. he frowns Wit h the snow, bears will be especially angry...what with cubs and the like. I thin k...let's go with a bear, and hope it doesn't find us before we find it. Besides , the trail is fresher. he smirks and then checks the trail once more before sta lking off again. " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He raises a brow Haven't seen the aht-ahl -hai or another wind spirit since the first two, but the bear is fine with me. Let me know if you need my help." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he pauses to search for the tracks onc e more, and responds to the last comment with nothing more than a nod. Soon, the y've arrived by one of the hills. A small clearing leads to a somewhat dry and w arm spot near the base of the mound of earth. It's the perfect spot for a bear, or any other creature, to rest. The man points to a mound of black fur with his right hand, and then draws his sword, the weapon making a soft hissing noise as it slides against the hide sheath. Without a sound, he moves from the brush, sne aking up on the bear. Or trying to, anyways, as the creature awakes and lumbers to his feet, turning to face him before he has gone more than a few steps. Sighi ng, the man closes in for the battle " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," has killed black bear" "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," Once the battle is over, Radimir steps out into the small clearing, his voice still hushed Well done Speck. Shall I help you with the meat and hide?" "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," The bear lunges forward with a swipe o f it's claw only for the man to raise his shield, blocking the attack. He then b egins to circle the creature, stepping forward for a quick strike before backing up a step, doing his best to keep the creature contained while also remaining o ut of reach of it's razor-sharp claws and vicious bite. The fight lasts for a mo ment, before the now wounded and aggravated animal simply charges. It tackles th e man to the ground, and he lands with a soft thud. There is a moment where the only sound coming from the two is that of the bear's snarling growls, and then t he animal lets out a yelp before, with a gush of blood, falling silent. Grunting , the man rolls the corpse off of his body and moves to kneel on one knee, quiet ly whispering to the corpse for a moment before standing and sheathing his weapo n. " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he looks over to the man and smiles, s peaking aloud now Ah, it got me good on the leg. Not as well done as I'd hope. But...nothing I could do about that. And, certainly. I could use the help. he ga zes down at the slain animal and states quietly Hopefully it understands I was just looking out for cubs of my own. I think this one was a male, though. he pul ls a bone knife from his leggings and drops to one knee, skinning and gutting th e animal. As he works, he quietly chews on the entrails that he harvests " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He raises a brow at Speck, looking back to ward the camp for a moment though they are too far into the woods to see anyone Cubs of your own? He raises a brow to the other man, then begins to hep him " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he pauses and rubs the back of his nec k, inadvertently smearing blood across the exposed skin and in what hair pokes o ut from beneath his helm Aye...Estelanta and I have mated. She doesn't look pre gnant, but...the chances are high, no? he shrugs and then continues to work, pla cing raw meat in his straw sack. " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Well, He laughs, and slaps Speck on the bac k congratulations then man. I didn't realize. But..no, she didn't look pregna nt. Wouldn't we know by now? He shrugs Eh, sometimes you just have to try agai n. Winks and grins I guess cubs of your own is one way to put it though. I'll look forward to meeting them."

"Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he raises an eyebrow and then replies calmly It was only mating, Radimir. It's...fun, aye. But in the end it's just a way of making children." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He seems a bit taken aback Just fun? Are you sure you were doing it right? He puts his hands up But far be it from me t o change your mind. I'll let Estelanta do that. And yes, it is a way of making children to be sure, which are a joy indeed. So for that alone, I wish you man y matings in the future." "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," Grins again at that and cleans his knife o ff " "Vasa, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he frowns Am I supposed to feel somet hing else when I'm mating, then? I was just... he shrugs mimicking the wolves, is all. To be honest, I was afraid I'd hurt her." "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Feel something? He frowns himself, in th ought You mean you didn't? It isn't something I can really describe, except to say it feels really good. And he laughs Cailin and I had to learn from the li ons...you can't be too far off the mark. But you might try to relax next time, I'm sure it will feel good at that point." "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","And..After that first time, it shouldn't hurt her at all..." "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs I know what you're talki ng about. I meant...emotionally, I suppose. Regardless, let's head back, eh? Tha t city gate won't dig itself." "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He just shakes his head Sure Speck. l ets get back. Was that what you wanted to talk about?" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," he smirks You're a father already, I figured I'd come to you for advice. But...that isn't all of it. I'd rather sp eak about that behind closed doors, even if that door is just a tent flap. he sh rugs and shoulders the fur and hide as he begins to make his way back to the cam p. " "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Sure. We can do that when we get back i f you'd like. He follows in Specks wake, then motions toward the tent " "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," reaching the campsite, he drops the fur, hide, and his straw sack unceremoniously to the ground before stepping int o the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir","The City Entrance project is not making any progress" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," Walking out deep in thought, he moves o ver and begins working on the city entrance again " "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","All ok, dad?" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He yawns and rubs at his eyes, then sits up muttering to himself. I need to stop falling asleep..." "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He stands up and brushes himself off. O h, the tent is finished?" "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","Yeah, Beri. Everyone helped. She smiles to him then and keeps working. Things would go fast at this rate I think." "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He twists his head to the left, popping his neck, then looks at the infinished city entrance. Well, we're making a lot of progress it seems.." "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He wanders over and begins to help mkain g the entrance. " "Vasa, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He stops working for a minute and looks down, his brow furrowed in thought. After a few seconds of this he turns towards Radimir. Hey Rad, i think i'd like to visit home soon..."

"Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Ann","Wood Mask has been constructed" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He frowns not getting a response from Rad imir, and turns to Auda. Hey Auda, i've been thinking, and i'd like to talk to you about..." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia"," She looks to him and then back to her wo rk. Hmm, about..what?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He rubs at the side of his neck. Uhm, co uld we maybe talk in private?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia"," She looks over to the tent and nods, mov ing away from the others at the work. I guess in there will do." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods and walks off to the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","walks inside" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","walks inside" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He stits down at the back of the tent and takes a deep breathe, and words start flowing from his mouth as if they've been pent up for some time. I really like you and i don't tihnk i've been very good at showing it and i think you like me to but i have a lot of stuff going throug h my head right now and i don't want you to think i don't like you ebcause i won 't pay you much attention. He takes another deep breathe, and goes silent. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","Okay.. She says after a while and sits do wn, crossing her legs. I do like you Berias but I didn't think you really liked me back or just saw me as too little. But.. I .. uh hope whatever you're thinki ng of in your head will be okay soon. I don't know how to help." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He shakes his head. I think i have it so rted out, i just had to do a lot of thinking..." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","Okay, Beri. She nods her head then and li nks her fingers when her hands rest on her skirt. Is that why you told my dad y ou were going home to visit?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He shakes his head again. I only wanted to go home to see my family, and make sure everything was still ok. He sighs. I really do like you, and i'm sorry i have't been that good at showing it..." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia"," She shrugs a bit and smiles faintly. It 's ok now that you explained it. I don't know what it is to care about someone m uch other than my father. Since I relied on him more after my mother was killed. I don't know what it is like for you or what you are used to though but I tried to show you I care but I didn't know if I was just bad at it." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He smiles at her. No, i was just worried you didn't like me like i liked you, and you are young but you're much smarter then i was at your age, and i think that says something...." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia"," She laughs at that and looks down at her hands. I didn't really have anyone to play with, and I wanted to help daddy af ter what happened so I wasn't very happy and it's kind of why I'm glad we travel ed a little bit away. It's.. well, I've not had good things happen that I think are so great to be rememberable yet. So maybe here will change that and I can be atleast a little happy. She rubs her cheek softly as it reddens a little in emb arrassment. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He takes his helmet off and shakes his ha ir loose, and smiles at her again. I understand you where brought up in a rough way, but i think you should be proud you turned out as good as you did. And i'm sure we'll have better times here then there where in Lorelei or at my mamas fo rest." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","I hope so, it feels like a new start to m e. Which I am glad for even though I haven't even done anything wrong.. you know what I mean?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods. It's nice to just let everythin g else go and be happy somewhere new, maybe even a second chance in some ways... " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","Yeah.. She smiles softly, looking up to h im. So how long will you visit for if I can know?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He frowns a little and looks down. I don

't know, but now that.. He seems to struggle for a word. ..this has happened, i need to rethink some things..." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She holds one hand out to him and smiles again. Well, let me know what you decide okay?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He reaches out and gently hold her hand. No, i think i'll stay here. Like you said, a new start, if i go back all i'll e ver think about is what i left behind, and i'd like to focus more on the people here..." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","Are you sure? I mean.. She blushes slight ly. You don't have to decide now if you want to think about it. I'm sure you mi ss your brothers and sisters, right? I wouldn't mind you staying though." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He slowly shakes his head and looks her i n the eye. They can do fine without me, it would only cause trouble if i showed up. I'd rather be happy here, with you..." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She grins a bit at that and gives Berias ' hand a gentle squeeze. Okay..then i'm fine with that, Beri." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He rises to his knees and pulls the girl in for a hug. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She wraps her arms around him and squeez es fondly. And what of the things you needed to think about? Will you be alrigh t?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He nods a little. I'll be fine, i can th ink about it later. He seems to start a movement, then stops and blushes. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","Alright, Beri. She leans back a little an d smiles to him as she lays a hand to his cheek. I need to sleep for now. Will you lay beside me like we used to before?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He puts his hand on hers, and nods, then wraps his other hand around her back and pulls her back in, aiming to kiss her. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She hesitates slightly at the pull but t hen closes her eyes and keeps her hand to his cheek gently before she presses he r lips softly to his in a kiss. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He kissed her gently for a little bit, th en slowls moves his head back, his face bright red. I-i tihnk we should get som e sleep now..." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She giggles and nods in agreement as she rubs her thumb over his cheek. Good idea.. hehe." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He smiles and continues to hold her hand. Do you want to sleep in the tent, or outside?" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","Outside's fine. Do you.. well, we'll talk about it tomorrow.. She gives his hand another squeeze. Let's fine a nice spot to sleep." "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He stands up gently tugs Auda along with him, keeping his head low he makes his way out of the tent. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He stops outside of the tent and pulls hi s helmet and breastplate off, then takes Auda under his arm and makes his way to a nearby tree. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She steps out of the tent alongside Beri as and yawns a little as she walks along with him toward the tree. Hrm, it's sn owing but only a little. She pulls her blanket over herself and around Berias be st she can when they do sit beneath the tree. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He rests against the tree with most of hi s upper back against the tree, and hugs Auda tight. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She closes her eyes and squeezes Berias gently, soon going into a sleep. " "Vasa, 82 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He sighs contently and closes his eyes, l ightly humming to himself. " "Ringwe, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann"," She frowns as she watches the people in

a confused manner. Carefully she loops some thin but strong vine through two ho les in the mask and attaches it to her face. She pulls it back over her head so her face is visible. I think I will move on soon..." "Ringwe, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann"," She kneels down on her knees with a lar ge twig in hand, she starts a new creation. " "Ringwe, 82 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann"," ...and as fast as she had started creat ion of the first, she has already moved on to do another with clay.

" "Ringwe, 82 - Midday, hr 7","Ann"," She picks up the unfinished bow again. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He hugs Auda a little closer again and watches Ann carefully. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He scoots back a little so he's sittin g up against the tree, careful not to disturb Auda he fishes a small scroll from a clasp on his pants and sets to writing on it. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He glances up from hiw writing at Ann, then down at Auda, smiling he returns to his parchment again. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She gives Berias a squeeze and opens her eyes, blinking them and taking a look around. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," HE stuffs the parchment back in it's t ube on his belt, and looks down at Auda, still smiling. Morning, you where real ly sleepy last night." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Moving on Ann? To where? He looks at her curiously " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Yeah, I was tired from all the walking . She yawns again and looks to her father then Ann. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He gives a small sigh, more to himsel f than to others " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Ann"," Without looking up she answers. I don't know..." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 8","Estelanta"," She looks at Ann sadly You should stay with us Ann, we don't have much, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who woul d be glad to share it with you."

You know Ann, we don't have a lot of people with us. If you could hold off leaving to help us get settled in, we would be very grateful." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ann"," She looks at her new body, seeming proud of her new creation in a very subtle manner. She then stands and looks at the te nt and the city entrance. What are you people building? What do you need help w ith? I'm just a girl." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles at her. Just a girl or not, theres always room for more help." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," Gathering a pick he begins on the min e entrance but smiles at Ann \"Just a girl\" seems an odd way to put it. Girls are capable of as much as guys are, aren't they? He turns his smile on Auda Ri ght Auda?" "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ann"," She doesn't respond with words nor expres sion, for her face remains black and normal, keeping a thing of mystery to it. S he sighs. What are you building?"

"Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Oh, we're building a city. He nods. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ann","Okay...is that why you need a mine? For ho uses? She walks to where the digging site is. She looks at Radimir at work in si lence for a minute. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He stands up and walks over to Radimir as well. No, the mine is for ore, so we can make tools weapons and armor." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," He concentrates on digging out the mi ne entrance, a light sweat breaking out despite the cold Not just for houses... for metal to make armor and weapons, for the stones needed to make an oven and k iln, for houses and other things we've yet to discover." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ann"," She takes not her eyes off of Radimir, st aring through him with a look of penetration in her dark green eyes. What will you make the houses of?" "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," He glances over at Ann, a little star tled at her gaze Well, um...whatever we find first I guess. I think we mention ed sandstone, marble, grantie - whatever we find in quantities enough, we can tr y making into a house. I'm not sure if all of those -can- be made into houses o r not, but we can try. He turns a grin to Speck and Berias Of course we're hopi ng to make really big statues too for the city. But that's for later." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles at Raidmir. That was Specks idea, not mine. And we can make houses out of just about anything, from bone to clay." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ann","Ok. She looks at the containers about and then at the tent, carefully closing in on it. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ann","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She just smiles to her father and kee ps listening, her eyes on Ann.

"Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He hsakes his head. If she's going to walk off like that, she can just as easily walk back if something is wrong." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","She's.. different.. She says, staring at the tent. " "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," He shrugs Okay." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs, and looks towards Radimir. You can go check for yourself if you like." "Ringwe, 82 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir"," He glances toward the tent, then back at Berias. With a sigh I probably should."

Well, it's par t of starting new here, isn't it?" "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs. I guess so, but i was just thinking with how things are turing out, and i'm just not sure if i even know wh at i want right now.." "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She looks to him. You still have thi ngs on your mind you need to sort out? It's best if you figure out what you real

She asks, looking to him still and resting her back to the roc k. " "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He folds his arms across his chest. T he biggest problem right now is Draven and his kin, if they're anywhere near her e i don't want the children to be put in danger."

"Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","That's true, so what are your plans ab out it? Like, what do you want to get out of the way. She tilts her head curious ly and keeps her gaze to him. " "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs. I don't know why i'm making such a big deal out of it, all we'd have to do is lockt he city up and make som e homes...I'm just confused i guess." "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She rubs her cheek and sighs. Okay. But yeah, the city can be locked and do you think they'd even come here for no r eason?" "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He shakes his head.

W hat do you think about the whole thing?" "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","I just seen the animals do it. It look s fast. I heard dad say it hurts the first time but I don't know much other than that. She shrugs her small shoulders. " "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","And Speck has mated with Stella twice n ow, so i guess it can't be all that bad...Did Rad say how much it hurts?" "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","No, just that after the first time it doesn't anymore. I hear him say it's usually quick anyways, so that's good right ? She asks, looking to him again. " "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He shrugs. I guess, i haven't done wh at Rad said and\"watched the wolves\", but i guess when it happens it won't be s o hard to figure out.." "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","Yeah, if it's normal, then it'll go ho wever I guess. She shrugs then and crosses her arms. " "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He begins fidgeting with the handle of his axe. Do you maybe wanna give it a try?" "Khelek, 83 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","Yeah, Specks says it's only for gettin g children. Dad says it feels good, I'm guessing he means for the man though. I haven't spoken to any girls to know otherwise other than hearing it hurts. She s hrugs again and begins to lay out her blanket on the floor before starting to re move her clothes. " "Khelek, 83 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He blushes a little and she undresses, and begins to udnress as well.

She points at his penis Gets bigger and goes in and uh, move a bit then it's done! That's what Speck sai d and that's how the animals do it. Though, I haven't been -that- close to see i t really good." "Khelek, 83 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He forwns and sits down on the blanket as well. I think i know whathe's talking about, it's happened before but i've n

ever, uh, done anything with it i guess.." "Khelek, 83 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","I mean, he never he said where it goes i n or anyhting, i should have watched the wolves like Rad said.." "Khelek, 83 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","I don't know how it gets bigger, I just know it's supposed to or it won't work. Maybe if we kiss? Does that help?" "Khelek, 83 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He blushes again. Uh, yeah..it worked last time. He nods and moves closer to her and tucks his arm around her back, th en pulls her in.

"Khelek, 83 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He looks back up at her. So uh, where do we go form here?" "Khelek, 83 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia","The rest now I guess. That goes in and you move a bit and it's done right? She sits up on his lap and covers them both with the blanket at the lower half.

For a moment, he looms as if he is about to attack and then suddenly stops, bl inking ...I remember you...you were that girl who was with the idiot boy, Sal, weren't you?" "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Thank god I found some one.. She fa lls to her knees. I suddenly woke up and was in the forest...

"Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He smiles and picks a few twigs out of her hair. We should get you cleaned up first.." "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","It doesn't bother me so much..Oh I found this..I thought it was neat .. She pulls out the hot meteorite. " "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He looks at the object, his eyes wid e. W-what is it?" "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","I'm glad that mama taught us how to live off the land. She rubs her head sheepishly. Otherwise I dont' know what I would have done.*" "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," he frowns upon seeing the rock Where did you find that, Miratine?" "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Its a rock I found in a beach near by. I'm not sure what it was either. It fell from the sky. There was a bunch of ore too but,, I couldn't hold all of it So I had to leave it behind." "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He frowns a little and stands up.

I don' t understand it either.." "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He sighs again and smiles at her. I believe every word Mira. That girl out there, her name was Ann, the last thing she remembers before showing up here is falling. Strange things happen." "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Anne..

"Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Yeah you can have it. It was someth ign interesting that i found." "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Ann"," She stands just in the entrance, watchi ng the two of them quietly. The light in the back shines brightly leaving a dark silhouette visible.

"Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Well I made a flute like Specks.. i was surprised that i still had it when I woke up. i know sal liked the tunes th at he played . perhaps he'll teach me."

It was by the place i called large sheep plains. I went e ast hoping to find a way home and well I stumbled upon it. she smiles. It was at a time that iwas goign to give up. but once I found it.. I just knew I had t o find peopl or home so that i could share this discovery. So if I hadn't of fou nd that i wouldn't of have turned back this way.." "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He nods, listenening intently. Do y ou think you can draw up a map? And may i see some of the ore?" "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine","Well congratulations.Is Ann the one you've settled down with..? I can see why she would be curious of me if she is.

I wonder how Mira ended up here.." "Khelek, 85 - Before dawn, hr 3","Cathal Adri"," he glances up from his carving Auda and I were just talking about that...I think that perhaps a Samhael, maybe one that was a spirit of the ground, decided to abscond with her.

She says softly, running her fingers through his hair ge ntly. I know this is your business and all but this is in the past, Beri, we ha ve children now and we're in a new place. If you get so mad and Speck or dad thi nks you'll hurt someone, it's not good for anyone here when we're wanting a new life.

"Losse, 85 - Before dawn, hr 3","Audosia","Beri, I know but you cannot expect so meone to just listen to you when they are clueless. Sometimes talking works. Eve rything does not have to be forced. She says, furrowing her brow but still gentl y stroking his hair. Fighting is not going to help us, just divide us and we al

ready left that behind us. If you don't want to tell her, someone else should, l ike Speck, since he is her mate. You would react the same way if someone spoke b adly to me, so do not expect him to be any different in regards to Stella even t hough she is clueless about your situation." "Losse, 85 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He takes a few slow breathes and look s her in the eye. I understand why Speck got mad, the only reason i was focusin g on him was because he was a bigger threat then Stella..."

I love you Berias and I do not wish to lose you or anyone. You aren't the only one who has hurt. I have already lost my mother! My mother, Ber ias. No one killed yours. I'm the one who has all rights to be flaming mad at Dr aven and at this Abigail simply because she exists and supports him. So do not t hink you are the only one, that is just being selfish. She says with a huff, rea ching up to rub at her forehead. You are not the only one, so don't act like it . Me and dad hurt, we lost someone dear that we can never have back no matter ho w much we wish it. I wish I had the chance to know my mother, but so it wasn't t o be and because of anger? Madness? I don't know. But I do not want to lose you or anyone else here, do you understand?" "Losse, 85 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He takes another deep breathe, and st ands up. I would never want to be the reason you're sad Auda, but you have to u dnerstand. I was DEEPLY in love with Abagail, then her bastard brother kills you r mother, and she runs away with him. I know I'm not the only one suffering, but i can't stand by while people defend her." "Losse, 85 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia","Was Berias -WAS-, we are no where near he r now. Once you understand that I hurt just as much or MORE than you, perhaps yo u will see why your being angry over it is pointless with them no where near him for you to lash out at. She looks away from him and just shakes her head. I do n't know why you're so hung up on a woman you loved once when I am right here in front of your eyes. When I've bore your children and have been here for you. She will meet her fate one day but for now you need to figure out what matters to y ou right this minute and with the life we are having right now. So if you ever d o care about not making me sad, you will figure that out. She stands up now and brushes her skirt off. No one here is defending Abigail. Stella simply has no c lue and if you do not wish to inform her or ask Speck to, then she will continue to be ignorant and you will continue to stupidly be mad at her when she knows n o better. She is not an animal, she is like you and I and I do not see the harm in speaking to her or having another talk to her. You can continue to be stubbor n or do the sensible thing." "Losse, 85 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He shakes his head. You don't understand . I'm more mad with hernow then ever, especially Draven, becuase I'm more in lov e you with you than i ever was with her. He killed your mother, and i see that h urt in your eyes every day, and i can do nothing but sit and wish it never happe ned." "Losse, 85 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia","I can do nothing about it Berias, it is s omething that I will have to continue to live with each day. But I live, that's the important thing. I have other things to make me happy like my children when they wake up and play and when you're with me. I just want us all to live peacef ully.. no more death, not by our hands, no.. She exhales slowly and walks over t o him, giving him a hug as she sadly sighs again. Berias, you have to understan d we have to live on, if one day, we encounter her and him, then we act, til the n, we live this life we have now and just try to be happy. I will always have th is sadness, same as you carry yours around but I have happiness too, let's just be happy as much as we can."

"Losse, 85 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia"," She gives him a tight squeeze as some te ars rolls down her cheeks and she rests her head against his chest Keep trying then, Berias. If you need to talk, know I'm always here for you and if you get m

ad, just walk away, it is better that way and it would show you are trying. I lo ve you and I'm not going to leave you if you give me no reason to but I do not t hink I could stay with you if you killed. It would hurt me too much so please, i f you get mad, just walk away and we'll talk." "Losse, 85 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He nods and gives her a loving squeeze. I'll try me best to.."

Oh...hello Speck, we nee d to talk about something." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he frowns, his hand moving to simply idly rest upon the pommel of his sword Aye? And what would that be?" "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Two things. He coruches and sets the infant down, then stands back up. One, I apologize for threatening Stella, she's my s ister and i would never in my right mind hurt her. Two, when i ask someone to st op talking about a certain subject, it's because I'm NOT in my right mind when I 'm that angry." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he sighs softly, though his expressio n remains stern Berias, that isn't an excuse for planning murder. You need to l earn to control yourself. I know you have trouble with it, but you're stronger t han some spirit." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He smiles a little, then quickly frowns. You don't understand Speck, that was no spirit." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he frowns in response to this Then y ou have even less of an excuse." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head, frowning. You have no idea Speck. I have never once let someone see me that angry, and for good reaso n. He opens the clasps on his armor and pulls it off, bearing his forearms. The se aren't from battles, this is what happens when i get that angry." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," he raises an eyebrow at the scars and then looks back up at the other Your point, Berias? Move to harm another one m ore time, and I'll make sure you recieve more than scars." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He smiles. Ten years no one has seen me l ike that Speck. What the spirit said in my dreams had more meaning than i let on , when i'm that angry i am something much worse then what you saw in the mines, or in Lorelei. I'm not myself, and i mean that quite literally, what i do in tha t state, much like in the mines, is entirely not my fault, if you'll beleive tha t." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","has foraged limestone" "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Estelanta","has foraged limestone" "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","We left Lorelei because of your...gift . he replies, maintaining a calm tone We can not keep running to protect others . I told you Berias, control yourself." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He sighs and pulls his armor back on, spea king as he closes the clasps. The\"gift\" Is more of a threat then my anger, re st assured. I'm not saying i shouldn't be stopped, killed if necesesart, if i tr y to harm someone, but my words have no meaning in that state. If i threaten som eone like that, it only holds while I'm like that. I would never hurt Stella, or you, in my right mind." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","Regardless... the man scowls, and he s peaks in a serious, stern tone Control yourself, and it will not need to come t o that." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles again. That is why I'm not such a threat in that state as you may think, all i need to control myself is to rem ember i don't want to hurt anyone." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri","Talk is fine, but it will get you nowh ere. Control yourself, or next time I may not be so unwilling to draw my blade. he shrugs and rolls back his shoulders before returning to gathering stone " "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," His face grows cold, his expression blank. Speck, you will die if you attack me while I'm that angry. You're best chance is to get Auda, or one of my siblings and have them talk to me." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he stands up straight once more and t

urns to the other man, his tone now just as chilly Yes. Because we all know how much success Miratine had. he takes a step forward, and in that same motion dra ws his blade with lightning speed, setting it so that the point is aimed at the other's throat Should it come down to it, Berias, no amount of steel will save you. Even if this blade breaks as I attempt to stop you, I will continue to figh t while you still pose a threat to -any- innocent lives. Make no mistake about t hat." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he takes a step back, sheathing the l ongsword. He continues to speak in the same distant tone Control yourself so th at it will not come to that, I've no wish to kill someone I consider my kin." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He sighs. Are we really doing this Speck? Without waiting for an answer in one movement he places his left hand on the bl ade and swings around it, drawing his knife from his belt and holding it an inch away from the Specks side, poised to go straight through the the armpit of his armor and in to his lung. Fancy moves aside, it would all end badly." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he idly glances down at the knife aft er sheathing his sword, frowning Had I meant to actually attack you here, I'd n ot have put myself in such a position. Do you really mean to start a fight?" "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles, relaxing and sheathing his knif e. Of course not, my point stands i know where the softest parts of a person ar e though, strength aside you would come out of a fight with at least four broken bones." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he sighs softly, eyes narrowing Phys ical strength alone does not make a battle. One must fight intelligently." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He nods. My point exactly, had i wished i t you would be drowning in your own blood right now. Strength matters not when y ou know just where to stab." "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," he shrugs and turns back to gathering stone, asking over his shoulder Regardless...are we done with this'idle talk' yet?" "Kuile, 85 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He sighs. I'm not angry right now, I'm tr ying to tell you that if i was i wouldn't have stopped, the knowledge i have of killing now, coupled iwth the disregard i have for life then is a very bad combi nation.

"Kuile, 86 - Evening, hr 10","Audosia"," She shakes her head with amusement then leans to give Berias' cheek a kiss. Exactly.

"Lote, 86 - Sunrise, hr 4","Weylin","walks out" "Lote, 86 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ize","Her eyes attract to the sound of her mother's voice. Seeing her make the face causes her to resume her wails.

"Lote, 86 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He smiles, still chuckling. You've scared the poor thing Stella.." "Lote, 86 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," Suddenly his face is overtaken with a migh ty yawn and he leans back, simply slumping to the ground. I need to rest.." "Lote, 86 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He removes his helmet, placing it amo ng his other possessions as he precariously makes his way through the tent of sl eeping children to come to his mates side. Smiling down at the crying, strugglin g girl he states Here, let me hold her...maybe she just needs her father? He sm irks sadly for a moment as he holds out his hands for the infant " "Lote, 86 - Midday, hr 7","Ize","She reaches towards her father with outstretche d arms, still crying in her mother's clingy grasp." "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," He smiles, gently taking the girl f rom her mother's arms. The man cradles the infant in his arms as if she is as fr agile as glass, about to shatter at any moment. He is careful, even, not to hold her too closely. Despite his caution, and the a slight look of unease on his fa ce, he smiles down at the little one Well, little Ize. What could it be that yo u're crying about, hm?" "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 8","Ize","Her crying stops the moment that her father takes hold of her. She plasters a large smile on her face and slaps at his muscl ed arm playfully. Her coos fills the room as she stares out across all the sleep ing bodies strewn about the tent."

"Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," he smiles down at the girl, still h olding her in such a way that is both precarious and overly safe So, just wante d to see your father, eh little one?" "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ize","She squeals in joy, continueing to squirm in her father's arms." "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," He frowns just slightly, pulling th e infant a bit closer against his breastplate to keep from dropping her as he cr adles the girl in both arms " "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","Well, you're an active one, eh? His frown turns to a grin now, and he glances about the tent for a moment If you we ren't so little, I'd try and think up a game you and I could play, little Ize... but I'm afraid I might hurt you. Perhaps...I'll tell you a story sometime, thoug h? he pauses a moment, studying the infant before he states Perhaps a song on m y flute, little one? Would you like that? I'm tired, and I'm sure with all that squirming you must be, too...it'll put us both to sleep, if I play it right." "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 9","Ize","She babbles back nonsense syllables as she r ubs her own face with her hands. Pushing and pulling her face into awkward poses ." "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," He smirks at the infant and quietly makes his way through the sleeping forms to a somewhat secluded area of the ten t. Then, careful not to jostle the infant, the man slowly lowers himself to a si tting position, crossing his legs. He then rests the infant down in the crook be tween his crossed legs, pulling his flute from where it hangs on a leather chord on his leggings Now, little one...after this, I'm going to sleep...alright?" "Lote, 86 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," Keeping a careful eye on the baby, the man lifts the wooden flute to his lips. He takes in a deep breath, and then quietly begins to play a soft, slow tune that drifts through the tent. The deep, almost melancholic notes are clearly arranged in a way that is meant to be soot hing, though their is the occasional small mistake on the player's part, though it is small enough to be barely noticeable in the grand scheme of things: A slig htly offkey or offbeat note here or there, nothing more. The soothing melody las ts for several minutes before finally tapering off, slowling winding down to a q uiet end. Upon finishing, the man slides the flute back into its place on his le ggings and gently lifts the girl once more, sleeping or no, to carefully hold in his arms as he leans back, using his hide bag as a pillow of sorts before wordl essly drifting off to sleep. " "Lote, 86 - Evening, hr 10","Ize","At the start of her father's song, she is res tless. Banging playfully on her father's hard heavy breastplate. Giggling at the noises it makes, but all of that vanishes as a soothing melody washes over hers elf and the room. She seems to suddenly lose much of the energy she had just mom ents before and lets out a wide yawn as she fights to keep her eyes open. She lo oks up again at the strange wooden device pressed against her father's lips. She reaches upwards to grab it, but finds it just out of reach. The song continues and before long she finds it harder to will herself into action. She drifts off into a slumber just as her father finishes the final notes." "Lote, 86 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He stirs a little from where he's sleepin g and opens his eyes, though remaining on his back. " "Lote, 86 - Evening, hr 11","Caila","Opening her eyes and shifting in her mother 's arms, she burbles quietly for a while to nobody in particular."

Fin ally, she lets her head rest and brings her hands up to her face. She feels arou

"Lote, 86 - Evening, hr 11","Caila","She whimpers and squirms for a time, but ev entually she settles down. Slowly, she raises her hands back up to her face.

Soon, she adds another finger an d sucks on it as well. After happily nursing on them for some time longer, she d rifts off to sleep with her fingers still in her mouth." "Lote, 86 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He smiles and little and rolls over on hi s side, closing his eyes again.

"Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","How are Auda and the others? Did Radi mir make it back alright? She asks " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Dinova"," He waves his hand dismissively with a small sigh. That is nice to hear, Berias. Of course I would protect you too, li ke any other Kindred. But I have spent my life fulfilling your duty. You can har dly expect me to welcome you in the home I built without your help, after all th ese disappointments. You have made my life a lot harder, for reasons that were e ntirely your own. He shakes his head. Don't worry, I am not bitter, or angry at you. I simply cannot see you as brother anymore." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," With a look of curiosness.((ooc: ate half of it,)) " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She shakes her head in slight disbel ief. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He narrows his eyes a little at Dinova , then calls back to Miratine. Everyone is doing fine, I saw Rad nearing on the horizon as I left so he must be back safely." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He looks up at Dinova, his forehead creased. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius","I was in Lorelei when you built your house, Din. Does that mean I'm not your brother?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He returns to adressing Dinova. Is th ere somewhere we can talk in private?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Ah..Well.. I was thinking of visitng you before but as you see I have a little one. I wanted to ask Speck about somet hings.. but you are just as knowledgeable. She looks over at the city entrance w arily. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","But that can wait until later.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Dinova"," He shrugs. Of course not, Peri. You w ere gone two years, not twenty. And you are not the oldest child. AND you did so mething the family profited from. He turns back to Berias. Sure. There is this makeshift shack. I never learned who built it, or why... or Mama's tent. Your pi ck." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shrugs a little. Your pick, I'll f ollow you." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I think Mama may have built it as ano ther resting house.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Dinova"," He shrugs as well and moves to the dec repit tent. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Dinova","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He makes his way to the tent, turning to wave at everyone. You can all tell me what I've missed when I'm done talking with Din." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks inside" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He ducks in the tent and keeps low, pu lling his armor off and rolling his shoulders. You'll have to excuse me, I've b een travelling in this for quite a while now.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sits down in a huff and motions for Dinova to do the same next to him. Pardon my intrusion, but I'd prefer we both sit for this." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," Unceremoniously, he sits down opposite of his brother, facing the larger man. "

"Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles and twists his head side to side, making a few very audible pops. How did things between us get so muddled, brother mine?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," He raises an eyebrow. Simple. Because you didn't care." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He raises his eyebrows and opens his a rms. I'm here and listening for once, explain my misdeeds so I may correct them ." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," The corner of his mouth lifts in a dis believing smile. Neglect, Berias. Neglect of your duty. And the time to correct that was about thirteen years ago." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," His face twists into an odd smile, a m ix of disbelif and humor in it. My duty you say? Care to get in to specifics?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," He shakes his head. Come on, you are not stupid. You were the oldest. It was your duty to care for your family, your duty to keep your siblings happy. But you left to... let's keep it at'pursue you r own interests'. You failed to live up to your task, and forced me to pick up t he pieces and carry the family on my back alone. Do you think I ever got to be i mmature or childish? Of course not. My life was hard work, physical and emotiona l, to keep the family together and raise our siblings to be good Kindred, while you pranced around the countryside, too preoccupied by your personal problems. H e frowns. Huh. I guess I AM a bit bitter. Thought I'd be over that." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","walks inside" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Salatius","walks inside" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He creeps a little closer, peeking around the edge of the flap, then quickly pulling back. He is obviously doing hi s best to not be noticed. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Salatius"," Tiptoes softly inside, barely poking anything more than his head into the tent " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He chuckles and scratches his head. Y ou've got me there, I fell hard for Abagail and she left with pieces of me, sinc e I've been nothing short of childish and grudge bearing. But where is it writte n I live for my family, not myself?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," He gives his brother a bewildered look . In your heart!" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He throws his head back and lets out a baritone laugh, sounding much like the beat of drums. He takes a few breathes a nd looks back to Dinova. My heart you say? Let me ask you, would it be so bad t o, once in a while, go off and be stupid and childish? I look in your eyes and s ee a man buckling under the weight of his mind, all these responsibilities you t ake upon yourself will be your end, brother mine." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," With a sad sigh he shakes his head. M aybe I don't care, Berias. Maybe I am willing to break my back, because I see no one else will. Maybe the advancement of the Kindred is worth my life,'brother'. Our mother knows that, and I intend to live up to her legacy. If I have to burn myself up to create a better world, so be it. Without help, with siblings like y ou, there is no other choice for me than to try until I break. I am -willing- to fight and die for something greater than me, and it is because you won't carry your share my fight is so taxing. That is why you are not my brother, Berias. Yo u always left your weight to me. SOMEONE has to carry it, and you sure didn't do it yourself." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He calps his hands and stands up, bend ing to keep from colliding with the tent. Well then it's decided, Dinova. We're not brothers and I'm a family-hating bastard. I'll be seeing you. With that he moves to duck out of the tent, motioning to the two boys stalking by the flaps. Come brothers, tell me all about what I've missed during my time away." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He crouches out of the tent and draws up to his full height, twisint in place and cracking his back. Well, that's dec ided then."

"Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","What's decided?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles towards Miratine, chuckling slightly. Nothing really important, but according to Dinova I hate my family an d am not his brother. In his eyes then, so be it." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She sighs. I don't understand Din s ometimes.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","But.. Can I talk with you..?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Melian"," She approaches Berias, putting her wri nkled hand on his shoulder. Before you leave us, Berias, I would like to ask yo u -- where is your settlement, Hillhaven, from where we are? And do you know of others?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Salatius","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods. Of course, do we need to go somewhere private for this talk?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Uh talk with Mama first ..i need to s how you something and they.. we may have to talk in private.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," His eyes widen a little and he hugs hi s mother. Mama, it's been too long.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain"," She scowls, leaning on her spear " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," He stretches and moves back to his wor k. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","Um... Din, wait... He follows his br other and nudges his arm gently. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I'll be waiting just inside of the ci ty entrance.. She places her daughter down on her fur blanket. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks into the City Entrance" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," He turns to Perintius. Yes, Peri?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","Can I talk to you too? Um... Inside? He motions his head toward the tent. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks out of the City Entrance" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Salatius"," Stares at Miratine Mira, are you al right?" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He lets go of his mother and wipes at his eyes, then chuckles a little. I never did apologize for not being the son I could have been.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She nods slowly. I'm ok whay wouldn ;t i be.." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova"," He nods and moves back to the tent. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Dinova","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He takes a deep breathe. I'm sorry ma ma, but I'm not supposed to tell you where we are," "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","It's not my decision to make. He nods. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs and moves towards the city, c alling back. I must talk with Mira, then get rest. I'll have the energy and wil l to speak tomorrow." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","walks inside" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks inside" "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Um well.. I guess the best way to sta rt off is to.. show you something.. She pales a little. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods. Take your time." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Uh follow me to the west... She seems to be shaking a little.. " "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He walks off down the street. Alright ." "Gurtha, 87 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I want you to look at this grave here . She kneals before one not looking at the name. "

"Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods, then walks over and carefully reads the grave, his eyes grow wide, and sits down, crossing his legs and furrow ing his brow. That is...odd, to say the least..." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She nods sitting back away from the g rave. " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He looks up for a minute, then back dow n. After a few mor minutes of this process, he breaks out in a wide grin and sta nds up. I will have the answer for this after I have slept." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","i've bee nhaving vivid dreams and at o ne poitn soemthign was tellign me to do very bad things.. She frowns. Din.. and I fought. I haven't heard them in a long time.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","You should sleep... She stands. You a re welcome to sleep in my tent if you wish.. or i nthe makeshift shack .. that m ay be more comfortable.. Some of your thigns are i nthere.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," His grin fades into a slight frown. We will discuss this tomorrow, I'm not ignoring you but I require sleep in order t o question who I think is responsible for this. He sets off at a steady pace dow n the road, back east. I'll sleep near the entrance, try to be there when I wak e." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks out" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks inside" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","walks inside" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She sighs leaning against the wall of the entrance. " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","Mira, answers to what? And how could h e answer something that Mama could not?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Because Mama doesn't believe in spirit s. Thats way Din can't answer my questions and he didn't want me to leave. I al ready read how the kindred were born. Elva was born in a forest too. I need ot k now more about spirits. I just hate not being able to give those around me an an swer as to why i'm here." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","But I already know, Mira! I know exact ly how!" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","How Sal?.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","After what happened, I asked Mama how to bring the dead back. She didn't know, but she said Broden knew. Nods Broden spoke with me about Elva, and Zosime told me to speak with Elva myself. And I di d. Nods Not too long after that, you returned, Mira. Smiles It isn't complicat ed, and you don't need Berias' or Speck's help to understand it." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She shakes her head. Its not that si mple.. there were more than one voice speaking with me. I need to find out about this other voice... I don't think its as simple as it seems. i had duties that I had to fulfill on my way here... Do you remember.. when I fought with Din.. ho w I was acting after ward.. She pales just thinking about it. " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","What was the other voice, Mira? His ey es widen Was it a man's voice, or a boy's, perhaps?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","It was a mans voice.. it was deep and low... it spoke in a monotone fashion. She rubs her hands up her arms. " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","And... it came back after we returned from Lorelei, yes?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She nods. I haven't heard it since t he birth of our child.. But the dream I had.. It felt like Elva was trying to te ll me something about the mines.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","Mira! That must have been why I needed to call myself Zeno. Nods That must have been why I had that dream." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","How.. would that have helped.. I don;t understand.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","That's what she meant by the other par t, Mira. Nods The other voice, it must be Zeno's. And he's upset because I have n't done my part. I thought it was for Mama. But Mira-- it's for YOU."

"Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","What was your part supposed to be..?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","To call myself Zeno. Don't you remembe r, Mira? The dream, the one I spoke with you and Din about." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","But I don't want you to be called Zeno . She pouts. i t wouldn;t make me happy.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I know nothing about this Zeno.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Salatius","But, Mira, it's what Zeno wants. It's what Elva wants. Nods And if that's my part, isn't that alright, so long as you 're here-- still, again... whatever. Isn't that what's important, moreso than wh at we would like my name to be?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I donlt want Zeno I want Salatius.. Sh e holds her head in her hands. You wouldn't be able to be you any more.. You;d have to take on the life of Zeno fully." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","There is more to a name than what we all think. I was born with my name.. And as I was reborn again.. I guess I still have the same name.. If anyone has to change their name it should be me.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I don't think Zeno was the one talkign to me..Sal anyway.. i don;t think Zeno would tell me to hurt Din.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius","But Mira-- the dreams, the voice, it a ll matches up. Nods This HAS to be it." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","I won't allow it. I don;t care if they take me back or I die .. I want you to live your life as Salatius... Salatius m y twin brother, my love my life.. The father of my children.. You can't throw aw ay that name.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","You'd be throwing me away as well..as your daughter." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius","But Mira, I'd be throwing you away if I didn't try to help." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","but what iif its not what she means an d i end up dying anyway and she takes away our little one.. Let me talk to beria s first please.. Then.. then we'll decide what to do.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shoots up from where he's lying and immeadiatly lets out a deep and raspy cough, his throat sounding completely dry. That didn't take as long as i thought it would..." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She whirls around walking over toward s Berias. A number of emotions on her face and tears in her eyes " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He clears his throat and stands up some what shakily, rubbing at his throat. I may have an answer Mira, and it's surpri singly simple." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Simple..?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius"," Frowns Your answer's shit. I already know what happened." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Sal stop please.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius","It IS shit. What can he know? He wasn' t here to learn from Mama, from Din. He wasn't here to raise us. He's just sayin g shit." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He chuckles, turning towards Sal. It's not -my- answer, it's... He frowns and looks aorund. ...Well I can't say his n ame, but know it's the work of the flowing rock spirit." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius"," Shakes his head Mira, why do you lis ten to his SHIT. We have Mama and Din, and Broden and Zosime taught me." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She turns frowning at Sal. I'm sorry that you think that way.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius","We already know what happened." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He furrows his brow and stands at his f ull height, looking down upon Salatius. Do you have something you would like to say to me, little brother?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Its alright.. Berias... is there more. .to tell..?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Salatius"," Glares up at Berias Din's right. You

're not our brother at all. Our brother wouldn't have left-- twice-- without say ing goodbye. And our brother wouldn't talk about this shit, when we already know what happened. It's how Mama was brought back, and it's how Mira was brought ba ck." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He chuckles, then shakes his head and s ighs. Dinovas reach is greater then I had thought, it's a shame too, I rather e njoyed your company." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He turns back to Miratine. Clearly Sal atius will have none of what I have to say, but hear me out none the less. You d ream of a mans voice, a deep monotone that flows smoothly, yes?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Yes." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He scratches at the scars on his face. Did you ever -see- him?" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," She ignores Sal for the moment. thoug h tears are running down her face. " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","No.. She shakes her head. If ih ad i nmy dreams Elva may have interfered.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Salatius"," Glares at Berias, then turns and stor ms outside " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Salatius","walks out" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He sighs and sits down. Can't be sure then, I've reason not to trust him...I won't outright discredit any other explan ations, but I beleive the flowing rock spirit did this, I asked and had simply s aid\"I will not sit idle while beuty is wasted.\"." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," her eyes open widely. at the last sta tement. " "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," Seeing her reaction he stands back up a nd shrugs. As I've said though, you didn't see him so we can't be sure. He may just be taking credit for a greater spirits work." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Ni i believe you.. he resides in the m ines.. always callign my name. The walls seem to close around me as if I can't e scape.." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He frowns a little and furrows his brow . That dosen't sound like his work, but as far as I've seen, he's the only spir it to reside in the mines..." "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Perhaps there is another.. I don't kno w... She shakes her head, rubbing her arms I just don" "Gurtha, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He sighs and turns on his heel, walking out of the city.

But even if she did, we left all ours at home so that we can carry more." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","So Berias is living back at your forest? I thought he lived with Rad now." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","No, he just visited.

"Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," At Zosime's words, he turns toward K ara-Elle with a grin, and waves to her. Hi Kara-Elle, you're getting really big . You remember me?" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Calia","walks out of the City Entrance" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","Perhaps on your way back, he could take a different route so he doesn't pass through here.

" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He lets out a few choked snores, then s tands up rather unsteadily, rolling his shoulders and causing his armor to clang together. Mmm, morning." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He returns the hug, embracing Kara-E lle tightly. Have you been learning to hunt with Calia? He glances over to the older girl, taking the milk with a smile. Milks? I um... what do you do with th em? He eyes the strange liquid. And Calia, you still hunting?" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","Um, girls, I know your busy now but whil e your awake: I'm trying move all our stuff in to the storage hut so after I do that if you find new stuff or hunt, can you take stuff through... the medicine a nd food goes in the house inside the city instead of storage." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Kara-Elle"," She shakes her head. Cook." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Calia"," Laughs lightly at Peri You drink it lik e water. It good. Looks up at the sky a little No, I no really like hunting any more. I'll kill the little things that get our food and if we ran out of stuff to cook I would. But it's no worth going through so much pain over." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime"," She jumps to action, hearing Berias' ar mous clanking and looks at the younger man with a mixture of surprise and distru st on her features, badly hidden with a fake smile. Evening." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He yanks his hood back and shakes loose his hair, then walks up behind Peri and rubs his head. Sorry I followed you, b ut you had me worried.." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","We can cook bones if we need food that b ad, Sweety."

"Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Pain? He tilts his head, then sips at the milk. Well, s'okay, Calia. If you got any problems with monsters you need killed, just come get me, I do it for you. Any time. He sips the milk again, kee ping it in his mouth. This is weird... but not too bad weird. It's pretty good. He nods a few times, licking his lips. " "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He smiles and gives a little wave towar ds Zosime. Hey, I'll be visiting home for a while, so you'lll probably see me c ome through here once or twice, if that's alright.." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Calia"," Nods as Peri drinks the milk I tell you later. It something that happened on trip" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He turns, a huge smile spreading ove r his face. You're awake, Beri! You should leave your metal here... it makes yo u get too far behind." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime"," She raise her eyebrows a few times at C alia, behind Peri's back. " "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Calia"," Gives her mama a look right back without anyone noticing " "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","Berias, can we talk alone for a moment?

I wo uldn't be as stro- He turns to Zosime, a more serious tone in his voice. -Alrig ht Zos, Where to?" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Calia"," Without saying a word, she looks at her mama with disgust at the way she treats him " "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","But none of us took armor. You don't needa be strong on this trip, just a gathering trip. He glances at Zosime, then looks back to Berias. " "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime"," She gestures to Marth's tent. That's w here the people from your mother's colony can keept their stuff but if you want to use uncle Ewon's tent She gestures to that one. since you're in Rad's colony , that's kay too." "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He nods and runs a hand through his hai r. Alright then, where do you want to talk?" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He takes another sip of milk, turnin g his attention to Calia, now. Calia, you wanna play?" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime"," She goes in to Marth's tent. " "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Zosime","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Ringwe, 87 - Evening, hr 12","Kara-Elle"," She rubs her knife on some wood, mak ing a fire and not paying much attention to the ongoing conversation.

" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Calia"," Quickly looks to Kara-Elle We should fi nd somewhere for you to make a brush fire. Those are bigger and you have fun wit h em." "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He wriggles a bit, trying to strip o ut of the undersized garment, and with a bit more tugging, finally succeeds. " "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," Walking over and following Zosime, he c alls over his shoulder. Don't get bitten by the pretty fish, Peri." "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","walks inside" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He ducks in the tent and winces a littl e as his back pops, then sits down near the entrance. Alright Zos, what's up?" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Zosime"," She paces, awkwardly. I like you. I t hink you're a good person and before the spirit thing happened I feel I was clos er to you than any of theother Meliansons.... but... everything with the spirit

scares me. She looks to him for his reaction, practcally chewing on her lower li p. " "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He smiles a little and chuckles, bringi ng one of his knees up and resting his head on it. I understand Zos, but the sp irit hasn't been a problem for a while now. I'm doing good in Hillhaven, I have little ones with Auda, I'm no threat anymore." "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Zosime"," She doesn't look comforted by that. Bu t that's there. Here is the cave... She blinks suddenly. Auda? Children with Auda... Elva, I am old!" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He chuckles a little again, running a h and over his face. You're not old, Auda is just 15 now I think...And we have a mine back in Hillhaven as well, it's not an issue." "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Zosime"," She opens her mouth and clearly change her mind about what she's going to say before speaking. Is Rad happy?" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," Again he chuckles. Rad is fine last I saw, I left before he returned though..." "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Zosime"," Blushing slightly, she sighs. I'm stil l worried about this... She sounds like she's mimiking an authority figure. I r ather you make your visits here as short as you can and don't enter any of the h ouses, the mine or the main city. You can use the tents. Her authority tone fad es as embarressment of being rude overtakes her. Is that kay?" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He smiles and lets out a small yawn. O f course, if you feel it neccesary." "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Zosime"," She gives him a small hug but wary of h im. Um, also, could you not be anywhere alone with my children... I know they a ren't little ones anymore... actually think one could give you as good as she ge ts if the spirit takes over but just to be on the safe side. She leaves the tent quickly, not giving him a chance to object to this one. " "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Zosime","walks out" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Calia"," giggles and wades towards Peri after wav ing at mama from the pond " "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He ducks back out of the tent, furrowin g his brow in concentration. " "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," His next attempt to capture a frog a lmost succeeds, but the slippery amphibion wriggles out of his hands and splashe s into the water.

"Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He looks up towards the treeline for a moment, then approaches one of larger tress and grabs hold of a branch, testing its strength. Finding in strong enough, he begins repeating the process at a mor

" "Khelek, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Morrain"," She tugs at her shirt for a minute and then takes another tentative step into the pond, flinching as her calves are su bmerged You sure?

"Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Elvi","Mama want to try some cave fish for the slee pers again. Is the mine clear?" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Adamond"," He glances down at the ground as a small blush appears on his cheeks I'm... sorry Then as Morrian speaks his gaze moves back up to them I'm Adamond he pause with a heavy frown your face familiar as well he brings up his hand in a discrete gesture towards her sorry, I don't kn ow your name he shakes his head as his gaze returns to the ground " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Morrain"," She looks down at the ground as well and mutters, Morrain. Slowly she turns to Elvi, scrutinizing the armored girl Don 't think anyone's been in the mines."

"Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","Oh, Elvi! Hi Elvi, it's been a long tim e. He slips out from under the blankets and stands up. I'll go check the mines. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","And I thought it was the rainbow fish t hat woke up the sleepers?" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He shrugs, pulling out the longsword s heathed at his hip. That's what woke Mora up when she fell asleep in the mines. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","I go check, though." "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","walks into the Mine Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Morrain"," She shuffles underneath the blankets, an d stretches out a food, prodding at the heap of clothes before the fire think t hey're dry... she mutters to herself " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Morrain"," She glances down at the blankets coverin g her, and then to the pile of clothes, and finally up at Adamond with a slight frown " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He heads out of the mine, a little mor e scratched up than when he went in, and quickly heads over to where Morrain is. He looks over at Elvi. If you just go straight to the water in there, you shou ldn't run into any trouble. Don't worry." "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He crouches down, quickly slipping und er the blankets with Morrain and flashing her a wry grin. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Adamond"," He watch Morrian for a short moment befo re his gaze quickly moves down away from her eyes " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain","Hey, She nudges Perintius wanna get thos e for me? She nods at the pile of mostly dry clothing before them " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He sits up quickly, glancing around, h is gaze settling on the clothes. Oh, right. He reluctantly leans half-way out o f the covering of blankets and retrieves the clothes, catching the edges with hi s fingers and pulling them close enough to grab. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He brings them with him under the furs and hands them over to Morrain. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," She ducks her head completely underneath the blanket, slowly squirming into her clothes " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","walks out of the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","There you are... She smiles as she approac hes Elvi. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He grins lewdly and peeks under the bl ankets as Morrain attempts to dress herself under them. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","walks out of the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","Elvi you want me to get Kara-Elle so we can go?" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He pokes his head out from under the b lankets. Calia, you change your mind about coming with us?" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," She prods him gently in the face with he r elbow, as she tugs her pants on. She bends forward, stretching into her shirt " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","I think me, Elvi, and Kara-Elle are going o n a short trip" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He giggles and sticks his tongue out a t her. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius","Okay, I'll see you when you come visit, then." "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime"," She shots Peri a short glare, thinking th at it was a cruel comment considering what he was just doing and what she thinks he was just doing before looking back to her daughters. I'm going to be in Kam iko's.... Calia's house, working on the oven. You better all come and say bye o r I might love the more babies more than you. She sticks her tongue out at them. "

"Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","(ooc: I meant the comment before that.)" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He quirks an eyebrow at Zosime, catchi ng the look. He leans forward, asking rather bluntly, Something wrong, Zosie?" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Zosime","walks into the Underground Dirt House" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia"," whispers to Peri so Mora can't hear You c an have more than one mate" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia"," Smiles at Mora and Peri before going back up Elvi, come back when you ready to go. Im helping Kara-Elle out with a projec t." "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," After much squirming, she pokes her head out from under the blankets, stretching her arms above her head " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","Oh, I think I'm gonna give Kara-Elle some C arpace gear. Just enough so she can run away if she gets attacked" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He shrugs, leaning back against Morrai n and nudging her playfully. I like it better when you keep'em off. He catches Calia's words and pauses, watching her walking away. A brief look of confusion c rosses his features, but quickly fades away. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia"," Sits down next to Elvi You think we need anything else since it short trip??" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," She grins, blushing slightly s'too crow ded here..." "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","Elvi I be in cabin when you ready." "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","err. new lore" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","walks into the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Calia","walks to the northwest" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He leans against Morrain, returning hi s arm to around her waist and nodding towards Marth's tent. If you wanna go whe re it's not so crowded, we could go into Marth's tent... He grins eagerly. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain","Mmmm, She glaces sideways at the tent, an d then back at Perintius, unable to contain a grin " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He nudges her encouragingly, his excit ed grin growing even wider. Come on, he murmurs, pressing closer. It'll be nic e and quiet in there..." "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," She gives way as he presses against her, slowly climbing to her feet, still bundled in blankets " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He stands up as well, urging her towar d the tent as he follows behind, chewing on his bottom lip. " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain"," Sagging beneath the weight of the heavy blankets, she crouches down and shuffles awkwardly into the tent " "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Morrain","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 88 - Midday, hr 7","Elvi","walks into the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Elvi","walks to the northwest" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks out of the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks into the Small Bone House" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks out of the Small Bone House" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks into the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks to the northwest" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks out of the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks into the City Entrance" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Calia","walks to the northwest" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He awakes with a start and shoots to a sitting up position, looking around himself. Peri?" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He stands up and pokes his head in the first tent he sees. " "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","walks inside" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He pokes his head in and spots Peri, t hen calls offhandedly before leaving again. HEy Peri, theres something we still

need to talk about. Come find me when you're not busy." "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He pulls his head from the tent, then walks over to a tree and picks up a horn, setting to carving it. " "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He slips out of the tent, his face be et red and a blanket wrapped around his waist. He quickly scrambles into Ewon's tent, disappearing inside. " "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He sees Peri on the move and frowns, the n stands up and wa;ls over tot he tent. " "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","walks inside" "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He keeps out of view from isnide the ten t and calls in. Peri? Are you busy?" "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He squeaks in surprise, rustling arou nd a bit as he pulls the blanket around his seated form. Uuuhh... I'm... no, yo u can come in..." "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He ducks in teh tent and sits down near the entrance, pulling his hood back. There was something I wanted to talk about , something Mira said when.. He forwns and looks aat him for a minute, then blus hes slightly. ..You sure you're not busy?" "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He squirms back into his pants, blank et draped around him, and blushes harder as well. Meekly, he shakes his head and mumbles, No, nuh uh, of course not." "Losse, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He pulls his feet up underneath himself and scratches awkwardly at the back of his neck. Uhm, alright then. I wanted to talk about some things Mira said you said to her... He shifts again, pulling hi s feet out form under himself and crossing his legs. " "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He tilts his head, pulling his leg s up under the blanket and resting his chin on his knees. What kind of things?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","Well.. He pauses and stares at him for a few seconds, the blinks and continues. ..She said you where speaking down to her, calling her weak.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","She was, he protests, frowning slig htly. She was acting very weak. She even stole, and lied about it." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He frowns a little and looks past him , then makes eye contact. She was? Care to explain?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He stares at the ground, frown dee pening. I promised... but... I guess that was just a promise to a pile of dirt and bones. Not the real Mira. We dug up her grave to see, and it was still bones ." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," His gaze softens and he inches closer . Promised what, Peri?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He looks up, meeting his older bro ther's gaze. We were in the mines, getting iron for mama and Din and us all, an d we started noticing it all went missing. I said that monsters must have been t aking it, and she got all upset." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","-She- was gathering cream from the mine. We were getting iron. She took Bardoc's, too. She said that the iron was f or everyone and grumbled a lot and said she was going to find cream somewhere el se." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","After awhile I felt bad for making her get upset, and I was gonna find her and apologize, but... He squeezes his le gs tightly. She wasn't at any of the places with cream. So I searched the whole mine, and... I found her. But she was lying on the ground, all bloody, with bat s and scaleymen all around her..." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," HE sighs and moves up next to him, pl acing and arm over his shoulders. It's alright Peri..." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","I chased'em off and... I was callin g her name, but she didn't move, and she was all pale... His voice grows more ha

lting, and he tears his eyes away from Berias's. She was dead, with blood every where, and all torn open... He shivers, but goes on, determinedly, When I tried to run away... I mean... I wasn't running away because I was scared, he mumbles , defensively. I needed to tell Sal... but when I was... leaving, not running. Leaving. I tripped over her bag, and all of our iron spilled out, all that we'd gotten." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","I was so scared and mad and sick... but I knew Sal couldn't see, or Doc... or Mora, I knew none'a them... I mean, M ira was dead, she shouldn't be remembered as a bad person, like Handas. So I gra bbed the bag and hid it to put back, so no one would knew she stole and she lied ... so people would remember her as good Mira..." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He rubs his brothers shoulder affecti onatly, sighing. Peri, you know it wasn't your fault, and it was her decision t o steal the iron and run off.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","What you did was a good thing, preserv ing her memory like that.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He lowers his voice, When we buri ed her, I promised her that I'd not tell anyone what she did, so everyone would think she was always good... I haven't told no one until now, you're the first. But I promised a fake Mira body... so... it's okay." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He relaxes a little bit, leaning a gainst Berias now that he no longer wears the cold steel. " "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","Even if we fight, she's still my si ster... I was really scared to see her like that..." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He smiles. I won't tell anyone, or l et Mira know you told me. Family is important Peri, but not like Din thinks it i s. It's not an obligation, but something you should enjoy. It's good you can loo k past Miras flaws.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He drags a finger through the dirt , bowing his head. You think he thinks he's... obligated to love me? And tell m e he loves me?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He forwns a little. I don't want to speak down of him, no matter what he says he's my brother...But I think he does what he does because he thinks he NEEDS to, I'm not saying he dosen't love you, but untill he can look past himself..I don't think he loves you for the right re asons." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","It doesn't really matter, I guess, he murmurs, mildly. He brushes dirt back over the line he made. I should stop t hinking about it." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He sighs and rubs his brothers should er. It's something Din has to figure out for himself, he won't hear reason from me..I know what I did was stupid, but I was young and in love, Din dosen't unde rstand and I accept that. He nods, though his eyes lack the reassurance his word s carry. " "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He tilts his head and asks, What' d you do?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","Well I suppose you where going to hear about it eventaully.. He takes a deep breathe, then begins speaking. It was a long time ago now, but Abagail and Draven showed up in mamas forest one day, bac k then... His eyes get a glossy look, and he smiles softly. Abagail was the mos t beautiful thing I ever saw, but Draven- His face grows more serious. -he was strange, always in teh same room with her, never letting me talk with her about how I felt. So when I heard they where going to find a spot for a new colony, I fought tooth and nail with Draven to come with. We stopped to rest a short dista nce from the forest, and one day Abagail asked me to leave with her, I didn't qu estion it at first, I was just happy we where going to be together at last.. He sighs and gets a far off look in his eyes, staring at the ground. That's not th e point though, the point is Dinova thinks I ran away from my\"Duties\" as oldes t brother, and to this day harbors anger towards me for it." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","Oh... He rests his chin on his knee

s again. Why'd you come back, if Abagail was so pretty? And what about Auda?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He rubs at the back of his neck, his face revealing a tired expression. She left one day, before I was even awake... I followed her back to mamas forest, and when I got back something had changed.. He scratches at the scars on his face. Draven had killed Cailia, Audas mother. Then next morning, again before I was even awake, they left. And Abagail left m e a note.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","I remember that... Draven killing t he girl... Then running away. I remember." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," His expression softens. I'd be so sad if Mora ran away with someone else..." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He nods, his eyes moistening. It's o nly right I suppose, that I'm in love with her daughter now...I have to look in her eyes and see that hurt every day, and remember that just maybe I could have stopped it.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","Even if she doesn't want babies, I don't care. I'll still be her mate, even if I always have to wear pants." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," Catching the tone of Berias's voic e, he twists around, wrapping his arms around his brother's neck in a tight hug. You make her happy though, right? That's what Cailin would want, I think... ma mas want their daughters to be happy." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He lets out a few choked breathes, th en inhales deeply and hugs his brother back. I suppose you're right..thankyou f or hearing me out Peri, these things have been in the back oof my mind for a lon g while now.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He tightens his grip briefly, pres sing his face against Berias's shoulder before reluctantly releasing him. Umm.. . thanks for letting me say the thing about Mira... he mumbles, meekly. It's ha rd to keep a secret like that, especially because we still fight all the time... and it's hard to not use it..." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He smiles and pecks the top of his he ad. Siblings can be difficult, but you just have to remeber no matter what that you love them." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","I trust you, Beri, he says, quietly but earnestly. Even though everyone's scared of you, I trust you. I know you w ouldn't be mean to me, or tell anyone else." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles a little, shaking his hea d. One tiny problem with an insane spirit, suddenly no one trusts me..and it's not even that bad a sprit, he's actually been helpful once or twice, though his honesty is questionable.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," HE looks him in the eye,. And that m eans a lot to me Peri, it seems I'm loosing friends and family faster and faster these days.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," His expression grows a little more uncomfortable, gaze dropping to the floor. He sits back on his knees, resting. Has he been making you try to hurt people, still?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He shakes his head. No no no, I've n arrowed it down actually. Only when I'm hurt does it happen, though it would hav e been nice to know that beforehand." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He relaxes a little, nodding, then sits back and crosses his legs. The blanket remains around his lower half, but he sticks his hands under it with an embarassed grin and quickly knots the ties on his leggings. Um... how's it helped you?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He notices his movements and chuckles a little. I don't blame you if you don't beleive me, but I can talk with him s ometimes in my dreams, though he rarely makes any kind of clear sense...not to m ention his home, it's a horrible place, nothing short of unpleasant to remain in , dream or not.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","I have weird dreams sometimes, but I don't think they're spirits... He adjusts the blanket so that it covers his sh

irt-less chest, shivering a bit, then scoots back to sit next to Berias instead of in front of him. " "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," HE notices his shiver and pulls his o wn shirt off, offering it to him. They could be you know, but it's best not to take meaning from meaningless things.." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He slips the shirt on, though it's a little too big for him, and huddles under the blanket. He shoots a questionin g glance toward his older brother. You're not cold?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles a little and bangs a fist against his chest, making a few very audible thumps. I don't chill easy, fell asleep in the snow one to many time." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He glances down at himself, more t hat a little self-consciosusly, and lets the blanket fall from his shoulders to pool around his waist. He gently kicks it away with his foot, and mentions, casu ally, Well, I'm not cold, either. I've slept out in the snow a lot of times." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles again and tussles his hai r. Nothing wrong with being cold, you know." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","But I'm strong, he insists, tilting his head and smoothing the wispy locks of hair that escaped his braid back. " "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles again, then looks his bro ther in the eye, a sudden air of seriousness about him. I don't doubt you are, but know that their are things more important than strength." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He meets his gaze for a few moment s, but eventually looks away, drawing his knees to his chest again. Like what? Mama raised us to be strong." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He frowns slightly and bends forward, grabbing the blanket and draping it back around his brother. Mamas methods are ...different, strength is important yes, but one of other things? Love? Trust? Y ou cannot give one thing more merit than another you know." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He pulls the blanket around him, n uzzling his cheek against the fur. But being strong is about... making people h appy, too. That's like love." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","And strong people are trustworthy. Someone who's strong doesn't lie or steal..." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He shakes his head. Strong people ar en't always trustworth, and stealing has nothing to do with strength. Are you go ing to say you've never wanted anything bad enough to just take it?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","It does, he insists, a note of prot est entering his voice. Strength isn't just about what you can kill and how muc h you can lift, it's about being strong in other ways, like strong enough to hel p out when you're tired, or to tell the truth even when it's less scary to lie, or to make your own things when it's easier to just take. That's being strong." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He nods a little. As true as that is , spending your days trying to get stronger in that sense will end badly. Not ev erybody can be so perfect, our flaws are what mak us who we are and it's for tho se reasons we love eachother. Strength can easily be a weakness just as much as a gift, keep that in mind." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","But you should always try to get be tter, he mumbles, looking down. At least try. Trying is how you get stronger, a nd it's a strong thing to do. I don't wanna be flawed... I don't wanna make mist akes." "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles and runs a hand through h is hair. That's true, but if you spend your life trying to be more, do you thin k you'll ever be happy with who you are?" "Losse, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","I dunno, he muses, yawning softly. He slumps toward Berias, but when he makes contact, he quickly sits back up, rub bing his eyes. You can be happy with how you're getting stronger every day. And knowing the more you try the stronger you get..." "Losse, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","And then what? You're old and tired, and y ou look back on a life wasted, because all you did was push yourself, instead of

standing still for just a moment to appreciate the things around you. He lets o ut a small yawn, then reaches up and rubs at his eyes with his free hand. " "Losse, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He yawns again, infectiously, and lies back on the ground. Better than being old and tired and weak... plus, I'm neve r gonna be old, he boasts, smugly. " "Losse, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He chuckles and turns so he's facing him. You're weak when you're old anyways, and everybody gets old. You live for your self and those around you, and you'd do well to remember this." "Losse, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He stretches out languidly, folding hi s arms behind his head. Not me. And I already make lots of people happy, and me happy, too." "Losse, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," HE sighs and slumps back, stretching out and taking up most of the floor space in the tent. I guess if you're happy, in the end it's what counts.." "Losse, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He twists a bit, offering some of the blanket to Berias. You wanna share it?" "Losse, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He shurgs, smiling. Even big brother Ber ias can admit to being cold. He repositions himself next to Peri, then pulls som e of the blanket over himself.

"Kuile, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He moves his knees, inch by inch, still clutching onto the branch for dear life with a white-knuckled grip.

Not normal?....You mean all you did was take your pants off, and she got scare d?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He nods a few times, miserably. It w asn't even... um... hard..." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," His face grows into a smile, then he beg ins giggling, almost childlike. You mean all you did was show her your penis? P eir that's nothing at all! How do you expect to even mate if she can't look at i t? He stops giggling and takes a few breaths, calming himself. Plus I'm sure th ere's nothing wrong with you Peri, you're fine as you are." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," The laughter doesn't seem to help, an d he presses his face against his knees again. Why'd she run away, then? Why wa s she so scared?

Peri, if it scared her it's because it's something girls don't have, nothing is wrong with you and you should know this." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","Y...you sure? He rubs at his cheek, ri sking a peek at his older brother. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He smiles and nods. I'm as sure as I ca n be without seeing myself, and that should be enough." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He mulls this over for a moment, then mumbles, How do I make her not scared of it?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He lowers his head meekly. I want he r to touch it... but... I don't think she'll even look at me anymore..." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","B...but... if she does, won't she have babies?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shrugs a little. I never had the pro blem with Auda, I suppose if she really loves you, she'll get over it.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He scratches the back of his neck, and l ooks away. No one has explained mating to you, have they?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","Um... Din sorta did... He blushes brig htly. But he just said don't take off my pants in front of anyone... and always wear metal pants so no one can tell when you get... um... stiff. And that it's how you make babies, but if you don't take the pants off, you can't make babies. .." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He frowns and leans back a little. That sounds like Dins advice.. He takes a deep breathe and begins speaking. Well yo

u know all boys have a penis, located between our legs. Well girls don't, they h ave a\"vagina\", and in order to mate, your penis gets hard, and you put it in t he vagina, and that's pretty much how babies are made. He nods, though his face is bright red. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","Oh... He nibbles on his bottom lip. H ow does uncle Brody mate, then? I heard he doesn't mate with girls, only boys... " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," His face reddens even more, and he looks at the ground. Uh, I'm not sure. I heard people talking about it every now and then, thought about it once or twice...But I don't really know." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","Doesn't matter I guess, he muses, quie tly. I don't wanna ask Brody, though. He hates me, he'd just make fun of me. He relaxes a little, lifting his head. What does a vagina look like?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," His face still red, he shrugs. Honestly , I don't really know, Auda just sits on my lap and...well it just goes in. I kn ow it's a sorta hole though.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","A sorta hole? But... um... I have a so rta hole. Do I have a vagina? He cants his head to the side. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Uhh.. He pulls a knee up to his chest, t hen wraps his arma around it. No, the penis sticks out, but the vagina is more like....Its just goes in." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He stares blankly at Berias. But I s till gotta hole..." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Oh well, as far as I know that's just whe re the stuff your body dosen't need comes out.. He scratches at his cheek, winci ng a little as one of his finger nails catches on a scar. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He lets out a sigh of relief, nodding a few times. So I don't have a vagina. Okay, good." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","So they're different? Do girls have bo th or just one? He continues on with the line of questioning. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shakes his head. Girls only have a v agina, and boys only have a penis." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","But what about the other hole?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","And what's it feel like to mate?'Cause it feels really good rubbing up against her, and... it feels really good after to take care of the hardness, and... um... does it feel good to mate?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Uhh. He shifts around and crosses his leg s over his lap. Well like I said, as far as I know the other one is just for th ings your body dosen't need, but again, I've never really -seen- a vagina.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He blushes a bit, his knees still up and covered by the blanket. He shifts slightly, but continues watching Berias. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He opens his mouth to say something, the n pauses. Taking care of the hardness? What do you mean by that?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He hesitates a bit, but doesn't seem too put off by the question. He does swallow a bit nervously, but goes on casual ly, Well, you know, sort of rubbing it, if it gets hard and no one's around. Yo u're not allowed to do it in front of people, but it's okay to do alone." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","It feels pretty good, and... it's norm al. Lots of people do it. He watches Berias carefully, his expression growing a bit uncomfortable. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He squints a little. You mean like...wi th your hands?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Uhhh... yeah. It took me a long time t o uh... get it good, though. At first it sorta felt good but nothing happened." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He looks at him him, his fae furrowed in thought. I..I don't think I understand, you -rub- it? That sounds kind painful l.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","You use the skin over it... the skin t hat pulls back...'cause... yours gets slick, right? He asks, cautiously. And...

you just rub the skin over it... and it feels good, and then it feels -reallygood, and the stuff comes out. He says all of this slowly, informatively, though the anxiety returns to his features. You've never done it?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shakes his head. Uhm, no...If I get stiff, I would just go mate with Auda.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Oh, he mumbles, glancing down. I can' t mate with Mora,'cause mating makes babies. So... I just do that, rub it, but o nly when she's gone. Din said it's okay to do, as long as you don't do it... lik e... out in front of everyone. You have to do it in private." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","At least then it stops being stiff, an d I don't feel so... frustrated. He nods a few times, but doesn't look up. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Well I suppose you don't do it in front o f others for the same reason you don't walk around naked, only people you -reall y- love should ever see you naked." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," His eyes widen a little and he looks dow n, then back up at his brother. You mean it makes the frustration go away?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Uhhh... yeah, or I'd probably die." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","And it's um... it's good if you have t rouble falling asleep, too." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He seems a little more confident, his tone less shaky and almost a little proud. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He chuckles a little. That would have b een nice to know a while ago, there would be a lot more wolves back home.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He tilts his head. What do you mean? " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Well.. He shifs a little, scratching at h is arm. When I'd get frustrated, if Auda was asleep or bust I'd go out and hunt wolves, it always calmed me down.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Oh, I guess it sorta is fun, but I'd r ather just, you know. Take care of it. He squirms again, his tone growing curiou s. You really didn't know how?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shakes his head. I didn't have a big brother to teach me things, and I was always so busy, and when Abagail left.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Oh... I guess I was really lucky... He suddenly flashes a grin at Berias. You're like my little brother like that, th ough... except I guess I've never mated..." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He smiles. What do you mean?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Well I taught you a thing, he brags, s till grinning. Something you didn't know." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He chuckles a little, still smiling. I guess you're right, though you still have plenty to learn yourself y'know." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Maybe... Calia says I can hae more tha n one mate, and I think she wants babies, so maybe I'll be able to mate with som eone... I think she's too little, though. To mate with." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Uhm, I'm not so sure that's true..she is too young I mean, but I'm pretty sure you can only truly have one mate... He pul ls his other leg up to his chest and winces, then lets it fall back down to the floor. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He shakes his head. She said so hers elf, after she talked to Zosie. So I think it's right..." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shurgs, wincing again. I wouldn't re ally know, but I'd ask Mor first.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Yeah... He frowns a little, running hi s fingers through the fur of his blanket. I would never ever want to lose Mora, ever. I'd never ever mate if I have to... He glances up at his brother with a b it of concern. Are you okay?" "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He smiles, nodding. I'm sure I'm fine, I...Well I got frustrated and hunted the weird things with all the arms in the m ines, one of them got under the armor on my legs.." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He digs around in his bag for a momen

t, then grins. I've got some cream, if you want it. It'll make you feel better. " "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He nods. That would be nice, I couldn't find any outside." "Kuile, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He takes a leaf filled with calcium s alve out of his bag, and scoots over to sit next to Berias. Okay, where'd you g et hurt?" "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Oh, uh.. He blushes a little and undoes th e clasp on one of his leggins, revealing a serieies of thin cuts caked in blood along his left thigh. Oh, it's worse than I thought..." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He flashes a grin at his brother and t akes some of the salve from the leaf. Don't worry, I'm really good at this. Oka y, think about something else first." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He smiles. Alright then.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He brushes the dried blood from the wo und quickly, getting closer so that he can see. " "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","Sorry if it hurt, he mumbles quickly, p atting the leg. We gotta get the blood off, though, Here's the good part now... " "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He winces a little. Alright, do what you have to.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He spreads the cream over the exposed cuts with surprising care and gentleness. Worst part is tending to the wounds a fter, I think,'cause hunting is fun." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He spreads the cream over the exposed cuts with surprising care and gentleness. Worst part is tending to the wounds a fter, I think,'cause hunting is fun." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","((OOC: Oops, thought the game ate my fi rst emote.))" "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He blushes and reflexivly tenses at his t ouch. Hunting is good for relaxing, I think.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","Yeah... what's mating like? Is it more fun than hunting? He continues to tend to the wounds, getting more of the salve from the leaf as he works. He flashes a grin at Berias. You got some pretty nic e muscles." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He flexes, sitting back. I'm gonna ge t some that are just as big." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He chuckles a little still blushing. Har d work will do that. And yeah, it can be REALLY fun, but it's also really relaxi ng when you're done, and it's nice to just be with someone you love like that.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","Oh, he says, quietly, and pulls his kne es up again. yeah, that sounds fun..." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He nods. I don't have a word for it, but falling asleep with them afterwards..it's something special." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He rests his cheek against his arm, tr ying to hide the envy on his face as he stares off at a wall. Yeah... well... i t's really fun to just rub against Mora, and kiss her and rub her and stuff... a nd I -have- fallen asleep next to her after that... was kind of hard, though." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He looks up from his leg at Peri, and his face softens. Oh, I'm sorry Peri...I'm sure you'll know what it feels like soo n enough.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He shakes his head. She doesn't want babies... and she gets scared when I take my pants off..." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He scratches at the back of his neck, a s ad look on his face. I'm sure she'll come around eventually Peri, but know that if worse comes to worse, you always have me, and your other siblings.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He pulls a few tufts of fur from his b lanket, sighing. That's a different kind of love. Din told me, when... He glanc es up at his older brother, uneasily, Y...you promise you won't tell anyone?" "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He nods. You know you can trust me Peri.

" "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","I told Din I thought he was pretty, he mumbles, reluctantly. But he didn't think I was pretty. He said he loved me, bu t in a brother way, but we weren't allowed to kiss... or do anything else, ever. .. Just brother love. His face flushes. " "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","I give up... I was dumb for even tellin g him really, I guess that thing you shouldn't tell anyone. But... brother love is okay, it's just... not the same kind of thing, as the other kind." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He frowns and looks down. That dosen't s eem right...Mor is your sister, and you do stuff with her. I don't see why it sh ould be any different for brothers, they just can't have babies I guess.. He ope ns his mouth as if to continue speaking, but looks back down at the ground and r emains silent. " "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He sighs softly and shrugs. I guess I 'm just not pretty for him, not enough to have more than brother love. He kept t elling me not to... run away from my feelings, or whatever, even when I told him I didn't care anymore. He was mean about it. I really wanted to kiss him, then, but... not anymore.'Cause love like that is something you gotta share, I guess. It didn't feel right. At least he's not angry at me, though." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He blushes and continues to stare at the ground. Well I think you're pretty, and I don't think brother love is so bad.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He pauses, lifting his head to look up at Berias. ...You do...?" "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He nods sheepishly, an unnusual sight esp ecially at his age. " "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He blushes, sitting up a bit, and mumb les, I think you're pretty too, I just... I thought maybe you wouldn't think so back... so I didn't... um... I didn't say anything." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius","I didn't want you to get all uncomforta ble like Din..." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," His face now bright red, he shrugs. Din isn't as...accepting as I am.." "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","And uh... He pauses and runs a hand throug h his hair. ..youdo?" "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Perintius"," He rubs the back of his neck and grins , biting his bottom lip. He glances at the ground, then back up at Berias. Pret ty enough to kiss like a girl, on the lips? he asks, curiously. " "Rosa, 88 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He fidgets a little, then rather abruptly leans forward and wraps an arm around the back of his neck, lening in to kiss h im. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He suddenly grins, just before thei r lips meet, though he pushes forward a little quickly and the landing is rough. Regardless, he returns the kiss enthusiastically, reaching a hand out to grasp at Berias's shoulder. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He brings his other arm around his bac k and pulls him closer. I've been thinking about this for a while now....." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He giggles, though he attempts to k eep it low, half snicker and half chuckle as he obliges, scooting forward betwee n Berias's parted legs. His hand releases his older brother's shoulder and he ho oks his arm over, grinning slyly as his other hand presses against Beri's uninju red thigh, propping himself up. Me too, he admits, his gaze flicking over the m an's face. He quickly leans in again, stealing another long kiss. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He chuckles as well, though keeping it low in his throat he returns the kiss, speaking through it. I wasn't sure at f irst, but...If loving someone is wrong, then being right is no fun.." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He presses himself up against Beria s, the hand making its way up his hip to grab his side as he meets the kiss with youthful passion, his breath quickening. He pulls away just enough to grin and pant for breath. Kissing is... one of the funnest things..." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He chuckles again and nods. Kissing i

s good, biting is fun too though.." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He slips his other arm all the way over Berias's shoulder, tilting his head as he kisses his older brother's jaw. Biting? I tried it maybe once, when me and Mora...well, she was um... getting re ally close to touching me, and I wanted it bad... she got all shivery, it was fu n." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He chuckles again and crosses his arms around his back, pulling him close again he leans around and nips at his neck. I think it's fun.." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," The surprise sends a quick shudder through his body, and he grins and tilts his head to the side, exposing more ski n to Berias. That does feel good, he mumbles, pushing his chest against the man 's. You're so big, Beri... but in a good way, like a big tree." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He smiles and kisses his neck, nipping as he pulls back away. Being big can be fun, but I get a lot of bruises on my head.. He resumes kissing and nipping at his neck, pasuing for a minute to catch his breath. And you're small, but in a good way as well..Like a flower." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," His grin widens, and he enthuses, or a big strong bear..." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He moves pulls back for a minute and c huckles. I'm not scary like a bear though, and I don't have claws.." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He laughs softly at that, smirking, A flower? Flowers don't bite... He nuzzles his neck, wedging a place for himse lf as he bites back, a little harder than Berias had been biting him, but not en ough to leave a mark. He growls, playfully. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He flinchs a little, then Mmms softly. Maybe you're more of a bear than me.." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He pulls back and flashes a vicious grin at Berias, still kneeling between his legs. Yeah, I'm scary. Scarier than a bear, I'm a dire bear. He smirks and leans forward, cupping the back of his o lder brother's head and pulling him down into a fierce, quick kiss. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He tenses a little, unnused to the for cefulness. A dire bear? Still though, he passionatly returns the kiss. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius"," He pulls back a bit, hand caressing Berias's cheek, a finger tracing down the scars. Rough, he observes, quietly, then quickly speaks up, Yeah, like a... like a bear but it's bigger and stronge r than a bear, and has dire wolf teeth instead of bear teeth, and big glowing re d eyes. So like a bear and a dire wolf put together, he explains, hurriedly. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He smiles and pulls him back in, speak ing through his lips. You make up your own animals often?" "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","Mmmhmm.. he murmurs, his fingers spl aying and finding the back of Berias's head, holding it steady for the kiss. 'C ause I can kill anything in the forest now, easy. So I gotta make up new things that are stronger. He breaks the kiss off and places a trail of pecks and nips a cross Berias's cheek and jaw, then bites down just a bit harder when he reaches the neck, his body arching forward and other arm slipping around the man's torso . " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He winces a little and bites his ear a s he goes for his neck. We'll have to go hunting together some time... He pulls Peri up long enough to cross his legs, then drops him back down on his lap. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He grins to himself, seeming to enj oy the wince and the small power he has over his much larger brother, even enoug h that he only slightly grimaces at the return bite. Dutifully, he kisses at the abused skin, settling comfortably in Berias's lap. Yeah... that'd be fun... we gotta find something really big, like a jibberwuck... He nuzzles just below his older brother's ear, then playfully nibbles at his earlobe, squirming and quite obviously very excited. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He shifts a little to adjust himself, the brings one of his hands down between the small of his back and his pants. He resumes biting at his now openly exposed neck, leacing a small trail of red spo

ts up to his ear. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He groans softly, a warm breath aga inst Berias's ear as he almost melts against him, neck offered inticingly as he rests his temple against the larger shoulder, eyes half-lidded. His hands start to explore, one unwrapping itself from his brother's torso to ghost down his bar e chest. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," Now having to almost cradle him agains t his own chesk, he tenses a little as he moves his hand about, and moves his ow n further aroundhis back, untill it's between his hips and his pants. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He rubs his palm down the inviting chest, brushing over a nipple and gliding over muscles as he twists himself some what so that the side of the leggings slips down enough to give Berias more room . He tilts his head, nipping the shoulder there lightly as he rubs against his b rother, slow but firm. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He moves his other hand down to his hi p as well, pulling him up somewhat so he can kiss him easier. Being tall can be so difficult.. He says between kisses, tracing his thumb over his hip-bone. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He grins breathlessly, stretching o ut to meet Berias's lips more easily. I like it, he mumbles, following Berias's lead and trying to worm his fingers under the steel leggings. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius","I'm gonna get as big as you some day , anyway... pretty soon, I bet." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He groans a little and falls back, bri nging Peri down with him. This should be easier.. He resumes kissing him, bitti ng at his lips every so often and pushing his hands farther down the sides of hi s pants. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He pins Berias down for a moment, s traddling his stomach and leaning down to kiss at his lips and neck, ducking dow n to gently bite at his throat, with a few more playful little growls. He sits u p, looking down at his brother. Doesn't matter how tall you are now, huh? He br aces one palm against the muscular chest, the other hand trying again to slip un der the steel leggings. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles and pulls him closer by th e hips. That may be true, but I'm still very strong, so no funny stuff. As if t o prove his point, he yanks him down and forcefully kisses him. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He responds wholeheartedly to the r ough kiss, returning it with equal force as he grinds against the body beneath h im. When the kiss is done, he crouches there, panting, his eyes shining with exc itement. He seems enthralled by his brother's imposing size, and the apparent po wer of his body. " "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," Noticing the look in his eyes, he chuc kles. causing Peri to rise and fall with his chest. Am I really that unnusual a sight?" "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He blushes a bit, leaning down to n ip at Berias's collarbone. It's... lots different than Mora. Like hunting a dee r with Mora, where you gotta be quiet and gentle... but you're like a bear or a dire wolf, that you've got to wrestle and fight. He shivers, pressing his crotch against Berias's stomach, the bulge in the front of his pants readily apparent. It's different." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles and slides a hand closer t o his crotch. Do you think you'd win then?" "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He grins wolfishly, glancing up, th en bites down a bit harder at the collarbone. Even if I don't, it's still fun.. ." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He winces a little and responds by spu eezing his thigh. Who know, one day you could be stronger than me.." "Rosa, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Perintius"," He laughs softly and leans forward, the touch on his thigh making him shiver, stretching out in order to reach Beri as's lips as he kisses him hungrily. We'll have to wrestle... With those words, he smirks and trails his fingers down his older brother's neck. "

"Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He lets out a deep laugh, then brings a ha nd up to begin pulling his shirt over his head. Would wrestling with a big bear be a good idea for a flower?" "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He squirms out of the shirt and grins, sitting up. I'm not a flower! He demonstrates with another growl, leaning forwa rd to nip at Berias's jaw. " "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He squirms a little and chuckles, then gen tly grabs the back of his neck and brings him up for another kiss. Flower or no t, even bears need rest..." "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He pouts a bit against Berias's back, b ut kisses him back, slipping off of him and kneeling at his side. He grins sheep ishl and adjusts his pants. Yeah, um... I'm gonna go do the thing I was talking about before. He grabs for his blanket and his shirt. Once you get enough rest to handle me, we can wrestle. He smirks playfully. " "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius","((OOC: er... Berias's lips. Haha. Guess he's not the only tired one.))" "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He chuckles and sits up, wincing as his ba ck pops. Sounds good. This stays between us though, alright? If word got around to Mor or Auda...it wouldn't end so well for either of us." "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He blushes, looking down for a moment, and nods quickly. He leans forward to steal another quick kiss as Berias sits up . Yeah, secret. I won't tell anyone, promise." "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He smiles and returns the quick kiss, then stands up, but keeps low to avoid the top of the tent. We can always do it aga in though, keep that in mind.

" "Rosa, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He wanders out of the tent with a yawn, his fur blanket draped around him.

"Naur, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," Lowering his voice again, he says back . How to what? Bite you?" "Naur, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Perintius","Uhh... yeah... He nods a few times. Or... anything like that, really. I'm not good at just asking... what if she di dn't want to? She'd think it was weird and maybe she wouldn't wanna be around me anymore..." "Naur, 88 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He pulls the hood from his face and tu rns to face his brother. Just try it once when you're kissing, bit her lip a li ttle.." "Naur, 88 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He sighs and looks back up at the sky. You don't have to, though you'd be missing out.." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He chews on his bottom lip as he looks up at the sky as well, blinking away snowflakes. I dunno, she does a lot of thi ngs I like already... maybe I'll try, though... umm... What else is good to do w ith girls?" "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He shrugs a little. Well theres kissing, hugging and biting....falling asleep together, and of course mating. That's all I can think of." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Perintius"," He flashes a sudden grin at Berias. Wh at about chasing, do you ever race her?" "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He chuckles a little. Auda may still be y oung, but I'm getting older. I can't really race any more.." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius","Parchment has been constructed" "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius"," He yawns and stretches out. Aw, that's no fun. Mora's always good at racing. Except I beat her this time... but I usua lly don't." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He yawns as well, then sits up. Who do yo u think that is coming this way?" "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius","Eh? He sits up, following Berias's gaze. Oh, I'd think Calia and Kara-Elle and Elvi, they were going to go on a trip as well." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns a little. A trip? Why?" "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius","I think it was to get ocean powder, too. " "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Oh.. He looks at them a little longer, then turns back to his brother and whispers. When do you think we'll have some time alone?" "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius"," He shrugs and sighs, looking up at the sky. I dunno, probably not until we get back..." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Maybe... He scratches at his cheek. ...we can have them just go ahead of us, so we can have that..talk, we need to have, t he private one." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius"," He blushes and nods a few times. Okay. .. But Mora owes me some kisses and I have to collect." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He chuckles a little. I wouldn't stop you

from collecting what's yours." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He yawns and lies back again. I'm going t o get some rest. see you tomorrow Peri.." "Naur, 88 - Sunrise, hr 5","Perintius","Oh... night Beri... He pushes up, wander ing back over to Morrain and sitting near her. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Morrain"," She stretches, gazing around the open p lain " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He reaches forward, grabbing at a sno w-dusted blade of grass, and pulls it toward him very slowly. When he releases i t, it whips back in a cloud of snowflakes. He grins, and does it again with anot her one. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Morrain"," She smiles up at the drifting snow, and rises to her feet, dusting herself off " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," Noticing Morrain, he grins and stays very still, creeping a bit closer to her before he suddenly lunges to his feet a nd tackles her to the ground. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Morrain"," She shouts in surprise, twisting around on the ground and instinctively thrashing her legs. She scampers away a few fee t away before fully recognizing her brother. She sighs and laughs, falling on he r back into the snow. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He grins, ducking mostly out of the w ay of a kick, though it still catches his leg and, undeterred, he crouches and s crambles the rest of the way over to her, kneeling at her side. I beat you by a long time, he brags, grinning eagerly. So you owe me like three hundred kisses I bet. Or more." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 8","Morrain","Yeah" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain","Yeah? She grins, pushing herself up on h er arms You want them all now, or do you wanna wait for later?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He leans down and kisses her quickly, brushing some snow from her hair. This place is weird..." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","Some now and some later. He nods a few times and grins. Best of both." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain"," She pulls herself all the way up, sitti ng in the grass. Do you really think it was three hundred?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","I wasn't really paying attention, he a dmits, wrapping his arms around her waist and scooting closer. It's hard to cou nt steps when you're not walking anymore. He attempts to pull her a bit closer. So you decide how many." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain","Hmmm, She frowns for a minute and then n ods her head I think most of them will have to wait'till we're home again." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He nods, though his smile fades a tou ch. Aw... okay." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain","Buut, she grins and jumps to her feet B etcha' I can win some of those back." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He laughs and pushes up, shaking snow off of himself. Bet you can't!" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain","Nuh uh! She laughs, and shakes her head, once again sprinting off to the northwest " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Morrain","travels Northwest" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He makes as if to run after her, but pauses, grinning to himself, and glances over at Berias's sleeping form. He brus hes snow from his blanket and wanders over, crouching down to poke his older bro ther's cheek. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He groans a little and rolls over on his chest, still dead to the world. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He grins and shakes Beri's shoulder, leaning in close. Hey Beri, Beri. Wanna wrestle?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," he groans again, although much more drug out, then mumbles. 's not time to go yet.." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He whines, bracing his palms against

Berias's side and digging his feet into the ground, trying to overturn him. No, no. We dont' have to go yet, we've got some time... c'mon!" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","Let's wrestle!" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He flails an arm out and schovels a larg e pile of snow towards himself, then pulls it under his head and smiles, still c learly asleep. Mmmm, we should find a tent.." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He crawls on top of Berias and nudges his head. There's no one else here, we don't need a tent! We can just wrestle out here!" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," His eyes shoot open and he jumps to his feet, tumbling Peri off of his back and spraying snow everywhere. What's wrong? Did something happen? He says with wide eyes. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He lands flat on his back, then sits up with a sheepish grin. I had Mora go on ahead, so we could have some time to. .. uh... wrestle." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He relaxes and brings a hand up to rub h is eyes, then blinks a few times. Oh... He stretches his arms over his head, ma king a few loud pops from his back. I'd be happy to, just gimme a few seconds t o wake up.. He brings his hands down to his head and twists it, making a few lou d cracks. He runs a hand through his hair to shave the frost off, then smiles. Alright then, where do you want to, uhhh....\"Wrestle\"" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He scrambles to his feet, grin wideni ng, and hunches down, hands out. Right here." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He yawns a little, then looks down. Rig ht here? What about the snow?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He sighs and crosses his arms over hi s chest. So? I thought the cold didn't bother you? And where else would we wres tle?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He chuckles a little. Cold dosen't both er the parts of me that aren't as senstive as...well as other parts. He says, sm iling. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He blushes a little bit, rubbing the back of his neck. Well... um... I never tried to do it out in the snow..." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","But where else can we go?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He looks around himself, spotting a larg e tree with only a dusting of snow around it he says. There looks good I guess, but don't you have a blanket?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He glances down at the blanket wrappe d around himself. Yes." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Well. He looks back to the tree. Spreadi ng it out on the ground under that tree would be perfect." "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He grins and runs ahead, taking off t oward the tree as he unwraps the blanket. " "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles and follows, though at a slowe r pace. You've been waiting for this, haven't you?" "Naur, 88 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He spreads the blanket out under the tree, then turns to Berias and sighs when he's not right behind. He plops down o nto the blanket. Sorta... maybe... He shrugs. Walking is boring." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," Finally catching up, he sits down on the blanket in front of his brother, pulling his shirt off. It's perfectly fine to be excited Peri.." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He grins and scoots forward, running h is hands down Berias's chest. I'll keep you warm, okay? He stretches upward, on his knees, and tries to pull his brother's head down for a kiss. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He smiles an accepts the kiss, pulling Pe ri up on his lap. It's okay to say you want it, just not in front of others.. H e says through his lips. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He wraps his legs around Berias's wais t as he sits in his lap, holding the man's head down so that he can continue to kiss him, fingers twined in his hair. You won't tease me?"

"Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He snakes his arms around Peris back, cor ssing them and grabbing his shoulder, giving him a firm hold on him. Me? Tease? I would never. He says with mock offense, returning to the kiss. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He grins and slides his arms back down to Berias's neck, then pulls back just enough to playfully nip at his lower lip . I do want it, he mumbles, a bit muffled. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He chuckles a little and pulls him up mor e, giving him a good angle at his neck, he begins nipping and kissing. Oh? How much do you want it then? He says, someone garbled by the kissing and biting inb etween. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He holds himself steady as he presses up against Berias, squirming slightly and tightening his legs around the man's w aist. A lot... he mumbles, then kisses at the offered neck, biting gently every now and then, randomly. Like... He trails off, then bites again, and when he r eleases the skin, mumbles, It's all I could think about on the walk, and... and ... He bites his bottom lip. I was almost happy to see Mora go. Kind of. Almost ." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," Shuddering a little at every bite now, he brings a hand to cup Perentius' head, turning it forcefully to kiss him. It's alright, as excited as you are.. He trails off and brings his other hand down, n udging Peris waist closer. ...it's normal to want some kind of release." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He returns the kiss hungrily and press es his hips forward toward Berias's stomach. He swallows hard, digging his finge rtips into Berias's back. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He moans a little through his lips, mumbl ing. Getting even more excited?" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He blushes slightly and groans, squirm ing, then leans up to kiss Berias even harder, rocking his hips into his older b rother's stomach as the leather of his pants grows even tighter across his swell ing erection. Mmmff.... y'touch me?" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," His mouth twists into a wicked smile as h e returns the kiss. Mmm, it takes a little while for me to get as...excited, as you are. He begins slowly tracing a thumb up his spine. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius","Well you've been sleeping, he protests softly, dragging his fingertips down Berias's shoulderblade. I didn't sleep bef ore when you were all... all talking about what would happen later. He huffs sof tly, then nuzzles against his brother's neck, biting down again, though not hard . " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He giggles softly, then bites at his ear, tugging it a little with his teeth. You can't blame me for wanting to get you ready, now can you? He mumbles as he drags his nail back down his spine. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius","You're so mean, he complains, though he grins as he does it, arching his hips against Berias again. He kisses down the muscular shoulder, then nips, small but sharp. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He squeels and turn down to bite his neck , tugging a little on the skin. I told you biting was fun.. He slowly inches hi s free hand down between Perentius' pants and the small of his back. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He groans and rolls his head to the si de, exposing more of his neck as he flashes a grin at his brother, then quickly pulls back just enough to strip his shirt off. It is, lots of fun..." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He dips his head down, scraping his te eth gently across Berias's collarbone before pressing his half-naked body agains t his brother's. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He moans a little, an unnusal sound for h im. Ooooh, I like that.. Following his words closely, his pants begins to bulge outward and he turns down to resume alternating between softly kissing and biti ng his neck, his other hand coming full circle to rest on Perentius' hip. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He grins wickedly and begins to rock h is hips forward, head leaning to one side and shivers running through his body a t each particularly potent bite, his cock already rock hard under the leather. H

e simply enjoys the attention to his neck for awhile before he repeats the gentl y nibbling and scraping on his older brother's collarbone, then nuzzles toward t he middle of his chest, just below his neck, and playfully nips at the skin ther e as well, before kissing over the faint marks. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shudders again and uses teh hand on hs brothers waist to frocefully turn him in his lamp, then brings both hands down his chest and grops at his crotch through the leather. Now you've got me going. .. As if to punctuate, his pants continue to swell, a larg bulge pushing against his brothers back. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He grunts softly as he's turned, but t he sound is immediately cut off by a loud moan as he arches into his brother's h ands, his breathing coming hard and fast now as he strokes at his brother's arms . For a moment he just sits there, panting, then turns his head to nibble at his brother's arm. Oooohhh... touch me, please, Beri... He mumbles pleadingly, thr usting into the hands a few more times. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He responds my stroking the tip of his co ck through the leather, bringing his other hand up to turn his brothers head int o a kiss, mumbling. Gladly.." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He shudders and pushes forward with hi s hips, meeting the kiss frantically and curving an arm around the much larger m an's head, holding him close. He pulls back, panting for breath, and grins a lit tle dazedly, catching Berias's bottom lip in hs teeth. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He smiles softly as he returns the kiss, his eyes more than a little glossed over he mumbles. So how bad do you want it now?" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","Beri~*he whines, reaching down with his free hand and placing it over" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","Beri~ he whines, reaching down with his free hand and placing it over the larger ones, giving him something more to thr ust against as he dips his head away from his brother's lips and bites down at t he junction where his neck meets his shoulder, a little harder than he'd been bi ting previously. A lot, a lot... do the thing again... He squirms in his brothe r's lap and groans again, in equal parts frustration and arousal. Please... He bucks his hips forward as if to further emphasize his statement. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He chuckles weakly, his heart raceing and beating against his brothers back. Since you said please.. He brings the hand up, then slips it under his waistband, rubbing the tip of his cock again, though now skin-to-skin. Am I doing it right?" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He groans and tilts his head back, shu ddering again as more precum wells up under the touch, making the going smoother , Y...yeah... He manages, shakily, and bucks his hips up toward the touch. 'Ro und... the edges too... like... where it's got the edge... He tries to explain, even as he rocks his hips. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","Like this? He says as he drags a now slick thumb across the edge oh the head, biting at his lips. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius","Aaaaah... he gasps, the hand that was o nce over his brother's moving up to fix a vice-like grip on his arm. He begins t o thrust again, then after a moment he swallows hard and frantically begins undo ing the ties on his leggings. Good... ughnnn... just... He squirms again, then finally manages to undo the laces, loosening the leggings considerably. He moans and slumps back, rubbing against his brother's chest. There...." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," His hand still on the head, he nudges his pants down with his wrist, making little progress he mumbles. Those are just g etting in the way... He pulls his brothers head back up for another kiss, a leng th of raised leather going down his eft left thigh indecating he's as excited as he can be. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 11","Perintius"," He kisses Berias back hungrily, squirm ing out of the leggings and kicking them off as quickly as he can. He sits back, cock standing at attention with the foreskin pulled back away from the pre-cum slick head. He breaks the kiss just long enough to murmur, Wrap your... hand ar

ound it, and sorta use your thumb... like, the skin, pull the skin over it... He shudders and arches his hips against the inviting hand for a moment before he g oes on, Then with the skin in between, just... ahh... rub, please... His voice turns pleading, other hand twisting behind him to stroke at Berias's manhood thr ough his own pants. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He closely follows his instructions as he murmurs them, then begins slowly jerking him off, pushing and pulling the fores kin over the head. He moans as his brothers begins to stroke him, groaning throu gh his lips. L-like this?" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He lets out a low, lustful moan and no ds a few times, his eyes fluttering closed as his toes curl, heels bracing again st the ground. Yeah, yeah, he pants, quickly, and jerks his hips into the ring of Berias's hand. He shudders and rubs his palm against the leather-covered bulg e as he nibbles again at his brother's arm, hot breath brushing across the skin. So good... he groans, appreciatively. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," His mouth cruves into a braod smile, his tooth glinting a little in the evening sun. So that feels really good? He asks as he resumes tugging lightly at his lips with his teeth. He picks up speed, bri nging his hand up and down the length of his cock, his own throbbing steadily. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Yess.... aaahh... he moans again, his c ock pulsing and growing even harder in his brother's grip, more pre-cum oozing o ut of the tip as he squirms slightly, his panting growing heavier and his eyes r olling back as he pushes back against his brother's chest. Reallllly good... uh h... keep going, please keep going, he begs, digging his fingertips into his bro ther's still arm. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," His arm tenses as moves it down to squeez e his brothers inner thigh, a large wet spot growing on his pants. He begins roc king his own waist forcefully, adding to his brothers thrusting. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","Feels... feels even better when... you do it... he mumbles, between ragged gasps, his thighs flexing as he pushes back against the warm body sheltering him. Oohhh... it's... ahh... Is the only thing he can force out before a low, staggered moan rises up from his throat, his bod y tensing as he suddenly braces himself, short fingernails driving into his brot her's arm. He shudders as he orgasms, seed shooting up to coat his stomach and h is brother's hand, each twitch lessening in severity until it's finally over. He slumps back with a soft, breathless laugh, shivering somewhat. Ohh..." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," Almost simoltaniously with his brother he lets out a low, slowly rising groan not unlike the sound of a tree bending in t he wind as he tenses and curls over his brother, the wet spot on his pants grows , his nails digging into his brothers leg he shoots in his pants. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He relaxes his hand and wraps both of his arms around his brother's, struggling for breath as he rubs his face against the warm skin. That... that was really good, Beri... different than when I do it... lot better... He clings to the arm, pressing his forehead against it, then carefully twists around so that he's facing the man and leans up to kiss him, l ong and slow. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He pulls his hands away, one cover in qui ckly cooling cum, the other he uses to cup the back of Peris head as he returns the kiss, panting heavily. That...that was d-different than with Auda.." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," Regaining his breath somewhat, he star ts to clean himself off with a few scattered leaves from the tree. How... how's it different? He asks, curiously, as he wipes up the cum, then crawls back over to his older brother. It's pretty good though, right?" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He chuckles a little and wipes his hand i n the snow, mumbling. So that's what Speck was talking about... He loosks at hi s brother, his eyes still somewhat misty. It was....I don't know, it was strang e..not being, uh, inside Auda. And yeah, although good is an understatemeant.. H e stands up, his back and neck making a chorus of pops and cracks. I'd love to do that again sometime.."

"Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He grins and retrieves his pants and s hirt, still a little unsteady. Me too, and... next time I'll do it for you, wit h my hands and stuff. So you can feel, it's really good. He pulls the shirt on o ver his head, tugging until it's all the way down. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius","I bet you'll like it even more if I do it with my hands, I've got practice, he enthuses, stepping into his leggings nex t and almost toppling over. He steadies himself against his brother's arm and gr ins. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," Somewhat shakily he bends and picks up hi s shirt as well, tugging it over his head. Yeah, that looked like it felt reall y good, you're so cute when you moan like that.. He says, his cheeks flushing a little. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He picks up the blanket last, shaking the snow off of it and bundling himself in it. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He blushes and grins, ;ofting up on th e tips of his toes and pulling Berias's head down to kiss him affectionately. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He grins and, still holding Berias dow n enough to reach, bites at his neck gently. But bears aren't supposed to be cu te, they're scary. He growls, then grins broadly at his brother. " "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He places an arm over his shoulder, passi onatly returning the kiss. Should we catch up with Mama and Mor, or wait for th e others? Or maybe just get some sleep?" "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He chuckles. Well you can't be a bear an d be cute, like I said, you're a flower." "Naur, 88 - Evening, hr 12","Perintius"," He glances toward the distant cliff. We gotta go... Mora's gonna earn back all her kisses. He hugs his brother tightl y and then takes off, grinning over his shoulder. Come on, I'll race you!"

dry, this'll make it feel better." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He grins wryly. And even if your thro at doesn't hurt, it tastes really good, better than fruit. It's probably the tas tiest thing ever." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He chuckles a little as he over-hears Per entius. It's true, best thing I ever ate." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Fortinas"," The boy nods and stores away the honey. Thank you. He sniffs back his snot and continues in a snuffy voice. I will go inside now." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Fortinas","I hope I will see you tomorrow. He darts into Zosimes house. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Fortinas","walks into the Underground Dirt House" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He glances over at Berias and motions toward Ewon's tent. Wanna go talk now?" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He nods. Alright." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He stops working on the road and makes fo r the tent. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","walks inside" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","walks inside" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sits down at one end of the tent and d umps some salt on the ground, than drops a hide bag as well. So Peri, are you g oing to come visit, at leat for a little while?" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He pulls the flap behind him, glancing over at Berias with a slightly nervous grin. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He steps closer to Berias, looking dow n a bit at his older brother and shrugging slightly. He fidgets, then carefully sits down next to the man. I'm a little worried about Mora..." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He frowns a little and tugs his armor off , his ivy shirt on underneath it. What's to worry about?" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He smooths his braid back, sneaking a peek at Berias. What if... I don't know. She gets hurt on the way there? Or if she gets hurt there..." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He chuckles a little, smiling now. Peri, Mor is a strong girl. I will watch over the both of you to and from my colony, to say the least you have my word no harm will come to her." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","What if she gets mad at me? Like... I d unno. She seems different lately... He fidgets again, turning to look at Berias, then impulsively twists the rest of the way around and crawls into his lap. He hesitates, sitting there. First we gotta get home and drop off the ocean-powder ." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He wraps his arms around Perentius, huggi ng him lightly. I'm sure she'll be fine maybe a break is what she needs..." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","A break... He leans forward, slipping a n arm around Berias's neck and tilting his head up to kiss at his brother's neck . He's grown quite a bit over the months, making it easier for him to reach. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sighs a little and smiles. Theres alw ays so much going on here, and in mamas forest....We don't have worries in Hillh aven, we just feed babies, mine and make homes.." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius","Oh... He sits back, scratching at the n ape of his neck. That doesn't sound like much fun." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He chuckles and begins pulling Perentius' shirt over his head. That's becuase we're not trying, we have to build our new home, make sure we have food and keep our little ones safe.." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Perintius"," He makes no move to resist, slipping h is arms out of the shirt and squirming out of it. He shivers slightly, his gaze drawn down Berias's chest, and hooks his fingers under the ivy shirt. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He helps him pull his own shirt over his head, speaking. My point Peri, is that it's a safe place, somewhere you can rel ax and have fun if you want to. Working the shirt off finally, he smiles. Plus, that's where I am."

"Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius","How'm I gonna spend some time with you if... well, uh... I mean... He shrugs, running a hand down Berias's chest. Won' t you be busy with Auda?" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles and runs a hand down Perentius' cheek, hooking his other arm around his waist. Not all the time...I can make t ime for the people I love, you know." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He squirms forward, spreading his legs and lightly hooking them around Berias's waist. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He tilts his head down a little and uses his free hand to pull his brother in for a kiss. And make no mistake Peri, I lo ve you." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He leans forward and returns the kiss slowly. I dunno... he mumbles through it. I know you do, I just... I get real worried about Mora all the time. I don't wanna lose her." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Well... He speaks, slowly inching Peri clo ser with the hand on his waist. If she ever found out, I'm sure she would under stand, I mean love isn't so easily ruined.." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He sucks in a soft breath, squirming a nd pushing his hips forward as he begins to harden under the leather. Uhh... he mumbles, losing his train of thought. But... what... uh... I dunno... it's rea l easy to lose someone..." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He kisses hi again, sliding his hand betw een his waist and pants. only if they're willing to lose you, I see you and Mor a talking....She lvoes you Peri." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius","You th... the word is abruptly cut off by a quiet gasp, and he bites back a groan and strains toward Berias's fingers. For a moment he just sits there, his breath coming fast. You think so?" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He looks him in the eye, hand sliding fur ther down the front of his pants. Of course I do, Peri. He maintians eye contac t a little longer, then smiles. You've grown." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He shudders and digs his fingertips in to Berias's side, squirming enough to rub the slick head of his cock against Ber ias's palm. The dazed expression is briefly replaced with a sly grin, and he nod s. I've gotten a lot taller, I'm taller than Mora now..." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He begins rubbing his palm up and down ov er the head, chuckling a little. Everyone is small to me, but some day you mike get as big as me.." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius","I hope so... He mumbles, pulling himsel f closer to Berias and wrapping his arms around the much larger waist as he begi ns to steadily thrust against the inviting palm, already rock-hard. He leans for ward, nipping at his brother's collarbone as he pants against the skin. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He continues to rub, then abruptly stops and pulls his hand from his pants. Hold on now, you said you'd show me how it's done this time. He says, grinning. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He whines, humping Berias's stomach a few times before finally sighing and pulling back a bit, adjusting his erection absently. Okay, okay... Um... He slips back a little more, fumbling with the cl asps on Berias's leggings. Gradually, his frustration turns to eager anticipatio n. Okay, I'll show you." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," Still grinning, he deftly works the clasp s on his legging open, then pulls them off. Just let me handle those clasps, I' ve had plenty of practice. He says, half ereck cock standing at attention. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He tilts his head as he studies Berias , hands dropping down to his manhood and wrapping around it, one at the head and the other around the shaft. He grins. You're big everywhere, Beri..." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He inhales sharpy as he grabs him, his co ck hardening in his grip. Of...that already feels good.." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He grins even wider, growing bolder as he tightens the hand around the head of Berias's cock. I told you... it's real ly nice... He presses his thumb against the edge, still covered by foreskin, and

rubs experimentally. " "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He groans a little, cock still swelling. Ohhh, I like that..." "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Perintius"," He leans forward, biting playfully at Berias's shoulder as he slowly pulls the slick foreskin down off the head of his cock, then pushes it back up, his thumb gliding over the ridge each time. He sq uirms, then mumbles, How much do you like it?" "Gurtha, 89 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He Mmms softly, cock now standing full le ngth at six inches, a gentle cruve bending it towards himself. Ah...A lot... He says, smiling softly, his toes curling. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He leans forward even more, resting against Berias's chest as he adjusts his hand around his brother's cock, rubbin g the very tip of his thumb. Doesn't hurt or anything, see? Though it's kind of different doing it at this angle..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head weakly. N-no, dose n't hurt...feels, ah, wierd though.. He says, gasping softly every now and then, his cock throbbing steadily. C-can you go...ah..faster, like I was?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He grins and nods, nipping at Beria s's skin again as he begins to rub the foreskin over the head of his cock, the o ther slipping downward and, after a moment of hesitation, gently cradling his ol der brother's balls. He swallows hard, his own erection outlined against the tau t leather of his leggings. Like... like that?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He lets out a low groan, lneaing his h ead down and pulling his brothers head up for a lustfull kiss. Y-yeas...l-like that.." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He returns the kiss hungrily, his h and speeding up and tightening around his brother's cock as he jerks him off, sl ightly clumsy at first but quickly falling into a steady rhythm. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," His groan turning into a lusting whine , he bites down on his brothers lower lip harder than he probably intends, drawi ng a few drops of blood. Ah, n-not so fast, I can't hold out.." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He hesitates, then obeys, slowing d own and instead using firm, steady strokes. He swallows, licking his lips, then swallows again, pleading, Rub me, please..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He leans back and falls to the ground, forcefully pulling Peri down with him he brings his hands down and beings pulli ng his brothers pants down. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He squeaks, quickly releasing Beria s's cock to grab onto his arm and brace a palm against the ground, leaning over the much larger man. The pants, being a little too large, come off easily enough , and he leans over his brother and pants. He stares down at him, then with a ne edy groan he rubs himself against his brother's abdomen, thrusting his hips forw ard against the warm skin as his teeth find his inviting neck and bite down roug hly. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," Still whining, he gaps out a few quic k words. Y-y'know what I said about the other hole? I-I was thinking about mayb e trying something..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He continues to hump at Berias's ab domen, though a bit less frantically, biting and sucking along his brother's sho ulder. What is it? Something good?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," Gasping at every particularly sharp bi te, he quickly explains. I-I don't know, it might feel good, for the both of us .." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius","Okay, he murmurs, letting up a bit. What do we do, how do I do it?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Well, uhh.. He brings one of his hands up, pushing Peris waist down and back, gently pushing up with his own. You see what I mean?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius","Uhhh... He squirms back a bit, bitin g his bottom lip. Like... uh... how Auda mates with you? Sitting in your lap?"

"Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Well, it's different, becuase uh...Auda has a vagina, and it's in the fron..but she really likes it when I'm uh, inside her...sO maybe you'd like it too? He speaks, brings his other hand between them to gently stroke the very tip of his brothers cock. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius"," He shudders and squirms forward, ru bbing himself against Berias, then pauses and nods slowly. He scoots back enough to position himself on top of his brother, his knees braced on either side of t he man's hips. Keep touching me, he begs, settling down somewhat and relaxing, the tip of Beri's cock pressed firmly against his puckered hole. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He nods and begins lightly stroking do wn the length of his cock, his own throbbing and twitching under his brother. I -it may hurt at first, like with Auda...but then she says it feel really good." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius","Okay... he pants, then bites his bot tom lip as his cock regains its previous hardness under his brother's attention. He sinks down, very slowly, forcing himself to relax enough to push himself dow n onto Berias's cock. His face twists into a slight grimace of discomfort, but h e continues on, inch by inch. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He moans softly, tightly gripping the base of his cock and using his thumb to stroke towards the head. A-ah, it's r-r eally tight..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Perintius","It's big... I think it's too.. aahh. .. He groans and flinches, his body tightening around Berias's manhood and he wi nces slightly, then relaxes again, pushing down another inch or so. I'm... I'm strong though... he mumbles, pausing there to adjust to the foreign sensations. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He continues to let out small gasps, b ringing his other hand to gently push down on his brothers waist. It's okay P-P eri, just keep going.." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He takes his brother's cock in comp letely, after a bit more shifting and easing down, his hips pressed flush agains t Berias's. It's so big... he repeats, in a low groan, then nips at his brother 's chest sharply. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He winces a little and pulls Peris hea d forward for a kiss, then begins gently thrusting. Does it feel good?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He lifts his hips, taking a moment to return Berias's kiss and, after a few thrusts, relaxes even more and arches a bove the man. Oooh... he moans, digging his fingertips into Berias's arm as he closes his eyes tightly. Aahh... keep doing that, yeah... just keep doing that, he whispers, a pleading note entering his voice. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He picks up his pace a little, moaning now. It's, ah, so hot...you feel really good, Peri... He says, bringing his ha nd back down to caress his brothers cock. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He rubs against the hand, laughing breathlessly as he slumps against his brother's chest and meets the thrusts with his hips, hands grasping and stroking at Berias's sides encouragingly. Yeah... ooohh.... it feels really good... really good... just... right there...." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He obliges, thrusting harder and deepe r with a more downword montion, his hips rocking at a steady pace. ahhhh, so so ft...." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," His eyes roll back and he moans aga in, precum dripping down the head of his cock as he grips onto Berias's torso. Rub me, rub me, he gasps, his toes curling against the dirt floor of the tent. Beri..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He leans forwards and bites at his lip , gently pulls him back for a deep kiss, using his tounge now. He continues to s troke his cock, picking up pace and rolling over the tip every now and then to k eep slick, his own pulsing inside of Perentius. A-a-all you h-have to do is ask , Peri..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He groans even louder against Beria s's welcoming lips, kissing him fervently as he rides the thick cock under him.

His own cock pulses steadily as he pushes insistantly toward Beri's touch, every now and then letting out a soft gasp as his finger brushes over the sensitive t ip. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He starts thrusting faster still, goin g in and out the entire length of his cock, letting out a steady moan. P-Peri, I'm gonna....Ah, I can't hold it b-back longer.." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," Too far gone for words, he suddenly arches over Berias with a moan and comes, hard and sudden, his body tensing aro und Berias's cock as he shoots his seed over his older brother's chest. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He tenses and rakes his nails across h is brother back, one final strong throb and he shoots inside of him, his body ta ken by wracking shivers. Oooooohhh, Peri...I love you." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He slumps down, gasping for breath and lowering his head to kiss Berias tenderly. I love you, too, Beri... he mumb les against his lips, then grins hazily. Is that what mating is like?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","has mated with Perentius" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He returns the kiss passionatly, nippi ng at his lips. Sorta... He frowns a little, then chuckles. Uhh, Peri..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He falters a little, blushing as he catches the frown. Um... what?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","uhhh.. As if to speak for him, his cock begins hardening again inside of his brother. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius"," He shivers and moans breathily agai nst Berias's neck, squirming a bit. You wanna do it some more?" "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods a little sheepishly, then hugs Peri close and pushes up to a sitting position. If you can still do it..." "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Perintius","My legs kinda hurt... he mumbles, ni pping at Berias's jaw. But if you can do it so I don't have to sit like that, t hen... I bet I could do some more. He grins, though a little shyly. " "Gurtha, 89 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Uhm... He pauses for a minute. Speck a nd Stella say they do it like the wolves....would that work?" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He shifts, then nods a few times, ca refully slipping off of Berias's cock and sitting to the side. He leans forward, balancing on all fours. Um... like this, right? And you get on top?" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," Looking uncertain, he leans up on his k nees. I tihnk, I've never done it with Auda, but. He braces his hands on Perent ius' hips, and gently pushes in to him with his cock. Like this, yeah.." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He draws in a quick breath, trying t o stay relaxed as Berias pushes inside. He groans and stretches out, pushing bac k onto his manhood. His own cock starts to harden again, and he mumbles, This i s a lot easier... mmm..." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He cirls forward a little and wraps his arms around Perentius' waist, using on cup and gently tug on his balls, the oth er finding its place back at the head of his cock. Yeah, much better angles too ... He begins gently thrusting forward. " "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He groans even louder, pushing into Berias's grip with each of his thrusts as his cock swells to fill his brother's hand. He slumps forward a bit, arms bent and braced against the ground in front of him as he lifts his ass high, his eager moans slightly muffled against his sk in. Harder Beri... do it real hard..." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He lets out a carrying moan and begins thrusting harder, and much deeper then before, massaging his balls and working u p and down the shaft of his cock as before. ooooh, Peri...you're butt is really cute..." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He grins, clenching his ass slightly , but his giggle is quickly cut off by another needy groan as the motion gives h im even more sensation. His fingertips dig into the dirt and he presses back aga inst Berias's thrusts, his throbbing cock thrusting into his older brother's gri p. " "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He builds speed, steadily going harder

and faster, his hands busy tugging and rubbing faster and faster. He lets out an other low moan, then thrusts one last time, a hard hit as he once again comes in side of Perentius. Ahhhhh..." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius","has mated with Berias" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He moans and thrusts forward, coming again in his brother's grip as he shudders against his chest. He jerks his hips forward a few more times, then lets out a long, shaky breath. " "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He slowly pulls his cock from Perentius , groaning. Ahhhhh, you're the best brother ever, Peri..." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He pushes up, then turns around to t ake Berias's face in his hands, kissing him tenderly. We gotta do that a lot mo re... mmm... when I come visit..." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He snakes both of his arms around his b ack, holding him close. We can do it as much as you like....so you're going to come back with me? At least for a little while?" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He cuddles close, nestling against h is older brother. Yeah... um... just gotta drop off some things... and I might need'a make a thing, but I'll be there..." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He tilts his head and rests in top of h ir brothers, still holding him. Okay, as long as you promise to visit." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He wraps his arms around Berias, his eyes drifting closed as he simply enjoys the man's warmth and presence. " "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius"," He redresses himself eventually and picks up his things, blushing slightly. I guess I gotta go... check on everyone ." "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius","walks out" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He closes his eyes as well, sighing con tently. You wanna get some rest?" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He ducks out of the tent and shivers a little, then returns to helping with the road. " "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 10","Perintius","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Gurtha, 89 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," HE stops and wipes his brow off, then t urns to Perentius. I'm gonna get a head start agai If I don't see you in mamas forest, Peri, I'll see you in Hillhaven. With that, he sets off south-east.

"Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," His frown deepens and he turns to salatius. Give her up? What nonsense is that?" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","Tried to kill Morrain? She repeats the words with a not-entirely-unjustified amount of incredulity in her voice. Yes, Beria s, that certainly sounds like nothing to me... She bends over where she stands, holding her face in her hands. Will the Kindred ever really be free of the madn ess that Damien inflicted on us? It is a curse..." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He half-turns to Melian. Mama, it's alrigh t. Zos dosen't blame Mor or anyhting like that, and when I left she was getting better quickly.

"Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," With a tired sigh, she sinks down onto one of the tool boxes near the fire, slouching down into a pathetic heap of ivy and woe.

She struggles with her words for a moment, the concept on the tip of h er tongue. ... the foods that they eat. It makes them prone to madness." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Mama... He speaks, reaching to touch her sho ulder. They're not all bad, it was just Calia..she was sick, and nothing more." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She watched the fire giving a sigh as wel l. perhaps it is the fish they always eat.. We don't eat that here" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," She shrugs off Berias' touch, standing and looking at the shack in horror. It is the fish. There is something that drives

persons to madness." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," She looks at her daughter, wild-eyed in rea lization, and quickly walks off toward the shack. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","walks into the Wood Shack" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Salatius"," Turns to stare attentively at Melian as s he speaks. When she finishes, he sighs and stands, walking over to her, squattin g down, and giving her a brief hug before turning to Berias And how is Peri, no t-bro?" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He stands up with her. Mama, it's fine. I ate plenty of the fish while I was there, nothing is wrong with me, so it must j ust be Calia, maybe she was jealous of Mor?" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Salatius","ooc:Or never mind that." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","walks out of the Wood Shack" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Salatius"," Stands up and follows after Melian " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," She comes out of the house and makes a beel ine for the spot where the ground has been levelled and marked off.

She looks up at the others and says in a stern voice: From now on, we are not to eat the fish from the lake." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He turns back to Melian. Mama, that is non sense. Calia was either sick by her own doing, or had reasons we did not know of for trying to hurt Mor." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","What do you know, Berias? I do not trust you r wisdom. You trudge along in the middle of winter wearing nothing but cold stee l. She spits the words out like hot venom, turning to look at him, wrath in her eyes. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Salatius"," Frowns at Berias Mama does not speak non sense. If she says we are to avoid the fish, we shall." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He meets his mothers glare, his own eyes st oic and empty. What I wear is no concern of yours. I'm not telling you to belei ve everyhting I say, just think about what you're doing." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Plus. He adds, completely ignoring Salatius. If it was posion, we would all be dead." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," She replies cooly: I do think about what I 'm doing, all the time. We will not starve if I throw away such a measly amount of fish. There are plenty of mushrooms, berries, nuts, and even meat to sustain us. That is what I wish to eat, for I believe it will provide our good health. I think about the Kindred, Berias, all of them." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","I'm not saying it's bad to rid yourself of f ish, I agree their are plenty other food sources. But scaring everyone so needle ssly is a mistake. He says, his voice sharp. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian"," She shakes her head. Do you think I've see n less than you? I know many medicines, and I know that poisons do not always ki ll outright. Some are more insidious. She stands, walking around Berias in a cir cle. They enter you slowly, working evil until at last you succumb to their des ign. There are foods that change the temperament of the person. Look at Perintiu s. His is a temperament which is hostile to berries, so he does not eat them." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","So what then? Calias body was hostile to fis h? So be it. He says, not turning to face her. That does not mean you need to m ake everyone beleive eating fish will kill you, or make you kill others." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She watches the fire crackle. Listenign t o the others but choosing not to say anything more. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Salatius"," Frowns Mama is wise, Berias. You'd do we ll to acknowledge her wisdom."

"Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks at his mother expectadly, still di sregarding Salatius. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Dinova"," He frowns. Why are you having this pointle ss arguement? You're not resolving anything by this." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Melian","Din, I am trying to protect the Kindred from future madness. I do not want what happened with Calia to happen here... She lo oks off to the northwest. I wonder now if I should go to them. If Calia is dead , why do they not hurry home?" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Because Peri was staying with Mor, who was h urt. I am sure they will leave when Mor is healthy again. He sighs. I will not try to speak sense any longer if no one is to hear it." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She pulls her blue gaze back from the fir e looking up at her tall older brother. Concern for his well being is in her eye s. No hate no fear just concern. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 6","Salatius"," Mumbles: Sense is Mama's words. Nonsense is the opposition thereof." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Melian","Small Branch Fire has been constructed" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He shakes his head, ignoring Salatius once more. He sits down back by the fire. Sense is what is right, not what is said b y those you blindly follow." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She moves silently towards the kiln pulli gn the metal work from the coals and dunking it into the lake to cool it. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Melian"," She growls at Berias. I am tired of you... You try to take Perintius and Morrain away from us, tempting him to come back w ith you to yours. Why? So you can continue to use him? You were scared of the be es, so you make Peri get the honey for you. And then you abandon him and Morrain at Lorelei without staying to help until you are sure things are safe?" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Melian","And now you come into my home and accuse my children of blindly following me... When I have lived longer than you, seen more than you, done more than you, and been more than you." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He inhales slowly and turns to his mother, drawing up to his full height. His face completely blank. I have children and a love now, I have obligations. I have been gone from my home for far to long, so excuse me for wanting to return to my sons and daughter. I do not\"temp\" Them, I ask them to visit their older brother, and maybe if they so choose, live ther e. And waht of it that you've been around longer? When I am your age, will my wo rd be law?" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","It matters little what you have seen and don e. I trust those with sound mind, not those with old eyes." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Dinova"," He raises his voice sharply. Enough of thi s! None of you are children, so cease this pointless bickering! Berias, Mama has never let us down, so we have no reason to mistrust her judgment. Mama, you sho uld know better than to fly into a rage so quickly. It's not helping anyone to h url accusations around!" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Melian","Your way is folly, Berias. You will not live to be my age. With those words, she turns and walks off toward the shack. Befor e she enters, she turns sharply, looking at Din and Berias. Do not forget, Din, when the children were young, who clothed and fed them when I did not. Who did? You, Din, or Berias? Not Berias, who hid himself away, who left us -- left -you -, Din -- to take care of little Sal and Peri and the others with me. Go, Berias . You are not welcome here anymore. With those words, she disappears into the sh ack. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Melian","walks into the Wood Shack" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," HE spits on the ground and calls after his mother, his voice seeping like venom from his throat. You are no mother of mine . I will remain silent untill Peri and Mor arrive, I will then speak with them a nd take my leave. What they do is their own decision." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," His face twisted in disgust, he turns and s its back at the fire, whispering to himself. The madness of Melian.." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Salatius"," Glares at Berias Mama said go, not-bro.

I do not believe she was merely making a request." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He continues to stare at the fire, once mor e ignoring Salatius. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Salatius"," Walks over to Berias and speaks somewhat sternly Mama wishes you to leave." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He chuckles, otherwise not acknowledging hi m. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Berias.. You can stay in my tent if you wa nt. she doesn't meet the eyes of her twin as she makes an offer. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She walks over to Salatius obviously not happy. Berias is still a brother to me whether or not he's a brother to you." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stands and moves to the tent, nodding. That would be preferable to the nonsense being driven in to my skull out here." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She rubs her hand against her face as she ties the tents flap closed. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He looks at his sister, rasing an eyebrow. Yes?" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","I found something of yours in Dinova's hou se. It was you're journal i don't know why he had it.. but he did.*She picks up a hide bag shufflign through the contents" "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He frowns. I doubt that. I tossed my journ al in a fire." "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","i think everyone is slowly turnign int oba d Kindred here... even Mama and Salatius... Asphodel killed herself.. she holds out the book to him before sitting down on the ground. " "Rosa, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," Taking the journal he frowns. I know I tos sed this is a fire... He blinks and looks at Mira. S-she killed herself? But wh y?" "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I don't know why.. It just happened sud denly. Ever since thigns have been goign down hill. Dinova .. she shakes her hea d gritting her teeth. Dinova almost took his own life... I just hate it here! N o one believes me adn they think i'm in the wrong too they don't have any sense of reason" "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs, bringing a hand up to scratch at his face. I hope I never return to this place of madness and death. I will r eturn to my own home, and never look back to this horrible forest." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She pulls out some calcium cream looki ng warily at the locked door of the tent. " "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I don't wand to remain here either. i d oubt that I will ever be able to make it out,.. I stay here only for my daughter ... i will most liekly die here" "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs again, shaking his head. You k now it dosen't have to be that way, Mira. Come live with me, and bring your daug hter too.." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I regret coming back, i woudl have rath er have remained dead then live here" "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","She's still not old enough to travel... And Salatius will put up a fight.. I she doesn't want to go i'm not going to fo rce her" "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He frowns. I don't want to tell you to leave your daughter behind, but if you should feel like you must...I would defen d you from Sal." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She swallows hard. I just want to do the right thing for her.." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Mira.. He says, his voice soft. If you f eel you cannot care for your daughter, the right thing is to care for yourself a t the least.." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She bites her bottom lip shaking from

anxiety. Pulling her away from here would be worse on her. She's attached to Me lian and the others.. I don't want her to hate me.." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Then leave a note explaining. If they tru ly love you, they will understand." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I don't believe that they will.. I don' t believe that they will come to their senses. I will be hated just as you are f or having my own opinion and making my own choices." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head. Then leave, Mira. Y ou deserve to be happy." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I have to do what right for all of us. I don't want to end up like Asphodel." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Mira...Trying to take the weight of the w hole family can kill you..." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","It already has once.. She nearly whispe rs. " "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He nods. I know, live for yourself a li ttle, don't make Dins mistakes." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Din's mistakes.. Din has done nothing f or our colony accept destroy it.. and pull us apart." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He shakes his head and yawns. I know, b ut I fear I need rest...Please, lock the tent on your way out. I wouldn't like s omeone killing me while I rest." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Sleep well Berias.. I'll be in and out working on things.. But I would never leave it unlocked." "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods and lies back on the ground, clo sing his eyes. " "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks out" "Rosa, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Oh did i wake you..!*I just came back in to check up on you." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He sits up and looks at his sister. I'm having trouble getting to sleep...I did some thinking Mira, I don't want my fami ly to hate me, I'm going to apologize." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She nods. Well i don't consider it you r fault ,,, but I'm sure it will make them feel better." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","The doros open for you when you want to leave" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks out" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods and moves to exit the tent. Faul t of mine or not, they are my family." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He ducks out of the tent and takes a deep breath, looking around. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Dinova did you see where Salatius went?" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Dinova... He says, slowly. If you would, I would like to talk with you in private." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks into the Wood Shack" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Dinova"," He gives Berias a quick nod. Certainly. Lead the way." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods as well and enters Miras tent aga in. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Dinova","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Dinova"," He enters the tent and sits down on the b lanket, looking at Berias questioningly. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Dinova.. He says, his voice heavy. How di d things get so bad?" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Dinova"," He shrugs. The Kindred seem inherently b ad. There really is no hope of improvement." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He shakes his head and looks at him. I d

on't know what happened....But there is hope Dinova, my colony, it's safe and no one there is mad or stupid with power. We are friends, we keep eachother safe a nd well fed.." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks out" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Dinova"," He gives his brother a joyless smile. Th is place was happy once too. We were happy, worked together... demise is creepin g, unstoppable. Your colony might get lucky, or slowly die out as well. It is pu re luck." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," The ghost of a smile creeps over his head tilts down, spotting Dinovas boots. I remember when you made those...the anima ls kept hurting you feet, so you spent so long just to make a pair of boots to p rotect them...Those where the happy time. He frowns. But you are right, those t imes are dead and gone. That is why I want you to come with me, brother." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Dinova"," He raises an eyebrow. And to what end?" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Dinova, this is about the survival of Kind red as a whole. We need a fresh start, blue skies and green trees. A good place to right yourself...I hear about Asphodel, Dinova. He says, staring intently at the ground. I'm sorry...but I imagine you would want to get away from this plac e.." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Dinova"," He shakes his head. The things keeping m e here are the same keeping me alive, Berias. I cannot leave my children." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He sighs. I'm not asking you to abandon them Dinova, bring them with when they come of age. Do you want them to live in a place like this, an empty shell of a once happy place?" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","Maybe not, but your colony wouldn't be my first choice. I do not trust Speck, and me and Radimir would just get in constan t arguements." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shakes his head slowly. Dinova, we ca n get past these petty disagreements....Speck is happily in love with Stella, he has sons and a daughter just like you and me. And Radimir, Radimir could never stay angry at ANYONE...." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova"," He shrugs. Maybe I'll come by one day. B ut I don't see why we wouldn't move to Lorelei, when I already know and trust th e people there and it is much closer and easier to move to." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He sighs. I don't know...Maybe I just wi sh more people would have agreed to come with me. But promise to the best of you r abilities, you'll visit?" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","I cannot in good conscience promise that, Berias. The way things are, my children are the only reason I keep hanging on. I f anything would happen to them, and you know that danger is all too real, I cou ldn't live on. So I'll promise to try." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He stands up, stooping to keep form hitti ng the ceiling of the tent. As long as I know you will try, Dinova. No matter t he past or present, you are my brother and I love you." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova"," He smiles weakly. Thanks." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","I only wish you would return it, Dinova. w ith that, he crouches past Dinova and out of the tent. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He ducks out of the tent and takes a deep breath, then returns to the fire. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Sorry i walked in earlier I didn't reali ze that you were talking to Dinova in there." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius"," Walks back outside and over to the path being cleared, glaring at Berias " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She rubs the back of her head almost ne rvously. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He walks over to Salatius, looking down a

t him he speaks. I would like to talk with you in private." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius"," Grunts a little Uh? What about?" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He holds his gaze, his eyes hollow. Impr otant things. Is there somewhere we can go?" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","You can use my tent again if you want Be rias.." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He motions to the tent. After you, Sal." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius"," Glances at the man, then shoots Dinova a pleading look Perhaps it would be a stronger idea for Dinova to be inside wit h us as well." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","Sure, unless it is of a private nature. He nods. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shakes his head. I have had this conv ersation with him as well. If I was going to kill or otherwise harm you, I would do it right here." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius"," Frowns Mira has told me of a man who i s sometimes a beast, who attacks others and is exiled. Who cannot be calmed. Sha kes his head Should you become that beast in there, with me, I'm not fool enoug h to think I can hold you back alone, with just my strength. Dinova will be in t here as well, for that purpose." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He grins, his tooth glinting in the eveni ng sun. You know not what you speak of. No harm will come to you in there, unle ss I am defending myself." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova"," He shrugs. If it puts Sal at ease, I'll just sit in. So go ahead." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He frowns and moves to the tent. I had h oped it to be private. Fine then." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova","walks inside" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Dinova"," He nods at the two and sits down near the entrance. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius"," Walks in and stands near where Dinova i s sitting. He crosses his arms across his chest as he turns to look at Berias " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","So. He speaks, sitting down at one end of the blanket. Where does your seemingly endless hate for me stem from, Salatius? " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Salatius","You've disrespected Mama, not-bro. You'v e disrespected Din. You've told your shit to Miratine, despite it being in direc t opposition to how Mama has taught us. Shakes his head Your strength is false, rooted in false, weak things. And you mock me, in your every movement, I see yo u mocking me. I am Salatius, son of Melian, little bro of Dinova. I am strong, i n all facets, as one must be. I will not suffer mocking." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Calcium Salve has been constructed" "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shakes his head. Mock you? Mock Dinov a? Disrespect Mama? I have shown naught but affection for my oldest younger brot her. If I mock you, it is becuase you hate me for reasons I do not understand. A nd I do not mock OUR mother, I question her, like someone with common sense woul d." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","Well, you were going a little too far with your questioning, Berias. You owe her some respect." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He sighs. Not only do I know this, Dinov a, but I was going to talk with her next." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Salatius","You've said that Mama is no longer your mother. That is disrespecting her. You've called her mad and called her teaching s nonsense. And why should we question Mama anyhow? Mama knows more than any of us. She has seen things we cannot imagine. She has been around for longer, perha

ps, than all of us have if our time was combined. Certainly, if she teaches us s omething, our first response should not be to assail it. No, it should not be. A nd Din. Looks over to Dinova You have disrespected Dinova perhaps more than any one, although he is too strong to admit it." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He smiles. Have I know? Tell what I did then, since he's\"Too strong to admit it\"." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","And I will not willingly call someone who uses age and\"The things they've seen\" As an excuse to dimish or control others ." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Dinova","Berias... he sighs you never understood t he difference between the well-meant advice of someone who loves you and evil, c ontrolling scheming." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shakes his head. I know mama meant we ll, and I do not think that -everything- she says is nonsense or untrue, and I k now age plays with wisdom. But please, it only started becuase she thinks the fi sh we have -all- been eating will suddenly start to poison us." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Salatius","You've disrespected Dinova by leaving hi m alone to be everything to all of us, and nothing for himself. Dinova is strong , and he has likely forgiven you, but this does not truly excuse what you have d one. Shakes his head And now you disrespect Mama yet again with your condescens ion." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He smiles again and stares Salatius in th e eye. So me being a stupid child and not doing the work our mama and papa shou ld be doing makes me a bad person? This was many years ago still, and you are no thing short of petty for -still- clinging to it." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Salatius"," Frowns back at Berias You mock me agai n. It is in your expression as well as your words. It is in the way you ignored me earlier. You think so little of me, it is clear to see. Nods And why should Papa raise us? That's done by Mama and big bros, and you neglected that duty. Th at doesn't stop having an effect because you belittle me about it now." "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Oh? It's not a fathers job to raise his ch ildren? I would like to disagree. And why yes, I am mocking you, when you give m e a reason not to, I will stop. He speaks, chuckling. " "Rosa, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","And what of Hinrod? He is our oldest broth er, would you show him as much hate?" "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Salatius"," Chuckles mirthlessly Perhaps you shoul d ask Din about what I have said with regard to Hinrod. Shakes his head I need not explain myself to someone who proclaims to not mock me, then shortly admits to doing so. You are much like the sky-- what comes from you now may be drastica lly different than what comes from you but a short while later, and there is no consistency or coherence to any of it." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Why not actually pay mind to what I say? I never said I am not mocking you. He shakes his head, frowning. I understand Me lian is older, and has seen more then me. But once I have seen as much, and reac hed her age, will my word be law? Will every single thing I say be true?" "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Dinova","There is a difference between considering an opinion and decide not to follow it and calling people crazy and rejecting th em outright." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","walks inside" "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He nods. I am aware of this Dinova. I go t angry and mis-spoke, but do you not think it silly to dispose of all the fish, because she thinks it has suddenly started making people kill?" "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","I'm just dropping some things in my tent then I'll be on my way." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","walks out" "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Dinova"," He shrugs. Regardless of my opinion, you didn't help matters. That's all I'm saying." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He sighs. I am aware of this. Which is, like I said, why I will be talking with her next, to explain myself and apologiz e."

"Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Dinova","Well, then do that. I doubt you'll achieve anything with Sal here." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He shrugs, shaking his head. I guess I s imply wasn't raised from birth to blindly follow someones everyword, based on no thing but the fact that they say they're right." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Dinova"," He waves his hand. Don't be ridiculous. I alwas knew Mama makes mistakes, just as everybody else. I don't need people to be perfect to love them." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He shakes his head and stands up. I didn 't think tou did Din, that was for Peri. I am going home to hug my son and kiss my love." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Mira! He calls out, heading south-west. I am leaving. Please tell Peri, away from Din and Melian, that my home is four da ys south-west from here." "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Dinova","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Lote, 90 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","travels Southwest" "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks in from a distant land" "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," Trudging in through the tundra, he stops as he spots Miratine. Mira? What are you doing here?" "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She looks up from the turtleshell bowl she is working on her face many emotions flickering in her eyes. " "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I..I.. I can't choose between who's fam ily and who isn't.. She pulls her gaze away looking at the knife in her hands. I can't choose.. I hate their lies..I hate the way they twist there words. if i am realyl as uncarign as they believe me to be then its better for me to just le ave.*" "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He appraoches his sisters, his face soft . Mira, I won't tell you what to do...But if it is what you need to be happy, i f things have been as horrible as I saw back there....You are welcome in my home ." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","It's not an illusion, it's been like th at..." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Mira.. He says, leaning down and placing a hand on her shoulder. I won't judge and it's not my place to comment, just kn ow you will be safe and loved in my home." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She nods swallowing hard I don't want to talk about them any more... Lets go Home.. back to your home." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Turtle Shell Bowl has been constructed" "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods and sits down, setting to prepar ing some butter. Of course. My home is yours, if you so choose." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I don't know where my home is.. The onl y home I've ever know isn't home any more.." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs, not looking at her. This is w hy I made a new home Mira, a safe and happy place. Anyone who chooses may come a nd live with us, build homes and have children. My home can be yours, if you fin d yourself happy there." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I don't know what I'm going to find any where. She sighs. I do need to talk to Speck though.. about.. thigns." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods and smiles re-assuringly at her. Feel free to, I'm sure he'll be happy to see you again." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Well if it makes them happy I'll stay a while." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","It'd make me happy Mira, I can say that m uch." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","I really wish that i had never left. I should have expected this... I was blinded by my emotions.." "Urnu, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs. Emotions aren't a bad thing, they can give, or take life. What is important, is knowing when to listen to the m."

"Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I let guilt override my own feelings. Sh e chuckles. How can one possibly make up for dying? How was I supposed to know. . I was such a fool." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Mira! He says, sounding almost offended. Death was not your fault, and it is not somehting you should feel guilt over. Yo u came back, I don't have a clear idea of why, and I'm not sure how, but someone , or something, gave you a chance to live again. You should be seeking your own happiness and enjoying your extenstion on life, if you where to die again, don't you want to die knowing you lived?" "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","But.. I left they told me tht they would never let me leave again. That I had to make up for it.. that it was my duty.. my duty to help all of them She closes her eyes. They're never going to forgive me.." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","To make up for what? Getting killed? That' s complete nonsense and you know it. He says, shaking his head. I might underst and if they wanted to keep you closer so they could protect you, but that's not what I say happening." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Protecting some one by belittling them a nd calling them weak is not protecting them. She frowns. " "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He sighs and rubs his temples. How did t hings get so awful? What happened to ruin everyhting?" "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","berias I really don't know but.. I've be en tryign to make thigns better tryign to let them know how they make me feel. S he kneads her temple. It only makes them turn it back round on me and I'm right back where i started. I can't sit and take everythign liek that. i can't just h ave everything dumped on me and be happy about it." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He holds his head, obscuring his eyes. I didn't help at all by coming back and making such a problem.....Qeustioning mam a like that, mocking Salatius to his face.." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Berias.. please don't worry about it. I' ve mocked Dinova and Salatius my fair share too. They take things the wrong way. .yet they feel that they can mock others and then state that they haven't. Bera is really I don't blame you at all. Going back and apologizing is what they want . They want to paint you asan awful person and their going to do that no matter how much apologizing you do." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","You mocked Salatius so what she shrugs He had it comign to him. And mama's crazy she can't think straight blaming probl ems on fish." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","I know, it's just... He sighs. I don't wa nt my family to hate me, no matter how insane or misguided..." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Bewwy She chuckles at the old nickname. Listen.We can't make them see they have to come to it on their own terms. Argui ng with them in circles doesn't prove anything .. it only makes things worse. I won't be there to help take the edge off.. I don't want to see you killed.." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He smiles a little and rubs at his face. I don't want enemies, Mira. I want friends and family. If I have to lie and tel l them I am wrong and they are right, it is what I will do." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Beri She hesitates then touches her hand to his arm. You'd only be adding more fuel to the fire. She shakes her head. Do as you want Berias , I'm not going to tell you what to do either."

And he started to dislike Bardoc and the others fo r leavign as well.. But Dinova had pushed them away.. If I hadn;t of came back p eri would have still been in Lorelei sal and MAma too. I don't think any of them wanted to be around Dinova.." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Berias.. I don't think Perintius is goin g to hate you. If peri realyl cares abotu you he won't believe dinova. peri hasn 't been liking Dinova as of late either. why would he listen to him over his fav orite brother." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shakes his head. Peri is smart, he wo uldn't listen to Dinova. But mama...Peri loves mama, I tihnk he would do -anyhti ng- she said.." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Beri if peri wants to listen to mama he will. He loves her idiolizes her. Even if we were there. Would it really change so much.. It would only put your word against Mama again and thats the least th at Peri needs." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He sighs. Peri...I like to think he woul d appreciate me after everyhting, but I just don't know.." "Urnu, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","He will berias.

"Ringwe, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia"," She nods a few times, listening to Beria s and curling her legs under her body. Yeah, Mira was speaking about it when sh e came back.

Tiat' s a hard worker too and he loves to fish as always and he cooks it now for every one." "Ringwe, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia"," She removes her hand and points over at the cottage's frame.

When I got there I w ent with Peri and Mor to gather ocean powder from these odd pools of water. Peri seemed well enough, though he still idolizes Melian..Dinova though, I can see t he emptyness in his eyes, Asphodels death has broken him. Adamond is doing fine for himself as well, last I saw he was content in Lorelei." "Ringwe, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia","I don't think I remember Adamond and I di dn't know Asphodel but still that is sad to here of her death. Peri has children now as well? And does Dinova have children to care for? She looks to Berias and tilts her head to one side as she speaks. " "Ringwe, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He shrugs. Peri may have little ones by now, but he didn't while I was there. Dinova has one daughter that I know of, th ough there was a boy there who I forgot to ask after.." "Ringwe, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Audosia"," She gives a nod and stands up to continu e work on the cottage. Perhaps they will atleast try to be good parents." "Ringwe, 90 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stands up as well, following her to he lp. I hope they will be, Dinova and Salatius both seemed like terrible fathers. ."

" "Ringwe, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Just uh.. He frowns and looks over at A uda, then smiles and looks back. Do what Auda is doing." "Ringwe, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She watches Auda trying to mimic her movements. This is going to take some getting used to." "Ringwe, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She fumbles a few times. Eh I don't think this is for me.. She scratches her head. I have a feeling I'll end up kn ocking the whole thing down." "Ringwe, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," Auda. He says, pausing to wipe some s weat from his brow.*Should we wait to finish the house before having more little ones? I noticed no new children when I took a look aorund.." "Ringwe, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He turns breifly to smile at Miratine. You don't have to help if you don't want to." "Ringwe, 90 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Uh maybe I'll try again later..." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He leans over and pecks Auda on the che ek.

"Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir","Berias. He smiles at the man, as though grateful for the distraction I hadn't had a chance to welcome you home. How d id you find things in Lorelei?" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Ah.. He frowns a little. Not so great.. .That's hopefully in the past now though. Are there any new children I should me et?" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir","Not that I know of. He shrugs I don't think Speck and Stella have had any since I've been home..." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," As he pulls his hand away she notices his face blushing as well. She shifts a little awkwardly so as not to fall over again.She takes a deep breath trying to cool down her burning cheeks. " "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir"," His brow furrows now Mira mentioned s omething the same. Are Zos and Tibalt and the children okay?" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Estelanta","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He makes a small frown and nods. For t he most part...some things happened with Calia though, she died trying to kill M ira.." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Not me.. Morrain.. She frowns. Her blu sh all but gone now. I don't know why mama named so many of us with M names" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Oh, he gives a weak smile.*Yes, sorry. I

You always confuse me with everyone else. Sh e sticks her tongue out at him, then laughs. " "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","But. He turns back to Radimir. Morrain is safe, and Zos took Calias death in stride. I think maybe Calia was sick, kind of like me with the spirit.." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Anywho. He speaks, casually leaning down and scooping up a big handfull of snow. The issue is resolved, and they have m oved on. He quickly turns and hurls the ball at Miratine, aiming for her chest. " "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Estelanta"," She brings out an armfull of fish, t he water-filled pot balanced on her head Here, I brought out some fish for food , I need to heat this water to help wash Ann's burns so she will heal quickly.

"Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","That kinda hurt Beri. She rubs at her head and then wipes at her face and chest. " "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir"," He leans over and offers Mira a hand, speaking to Berias as he does so She was burned by a beast in the mines. I kil led it but I think it damaged what was left of her sanity. She was odd to begin with now... He shrugs " "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He half turns to Miratine. Sorry, I fo rget how big I am." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He turns to Radimir, the movement causi ng him to stop for a second and steady himself. Should I go talk with her later ?" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Thanks. She takes hold of Radimirs han d letting him help her stand up.once she comes to her feet she'd start wiping mo re at the fur, Obvious clumps of snow still clinging to her cloak.

He laughs a little You may want to shake your cloak out Mira. It is all over your back! He turns back to Berias Honestly? I'm not sure it will help, but you can try." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He smiles at Miratine, then blinks and scoops up another ball of snow. Watch this, I had some practise on the way here .

"Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods. Also, I took a look around wh en I came back. Where has all the metal we got from the mines gone?" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She pushes a pile of snow out of the tent with her foot. I think I got most of it." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Radimir","I didn't know we got any metal from the mines. Did we find an ore vein while I was gone? I haven't seen it if so." "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He frowns a little. The green stuff, i t was really stron. I was really excited to make things out of it..."

" "Ringwe, 90 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," She starrts humming to her self while defining the smaller details on the comb. It was almost finished.

"Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," He responds without hesitation, a genuine disapproving frown on his face No. He pauses a moment, and then explain s himself I think he may be one of the fallen, worse than the Samhael. If anyth ing, he'll do more harm than good if we call on him." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He frowns as well. Fallen? Speck, he b rought Mira back from the land beyond, how can that be a bad thing? He gave me m y beautiful sister back, I'm not about to think him evil for it." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," He arches an eyebrow How do you k now he did that? He could be lieing, he certainly lied when he said he gave you a gift and really gave you a curse. he shakes his head I don't trust this fire spirit, and I doubt I ever will. He's one of those that Athalia, Rodan, and the other five fought against." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri","((OOC: Not Athalia,*Aisha))" "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He shakes his head. I can't be bothere d to question your spirits right now, and I agree I don't exactly trust him.. Hi s face goes pale. Not with a home like that at least.." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," He sighs softly and gives a small shrug I wouldn't imagine that the Forsaken live in very present places." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","walks inside" "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Sorry about that guys. He walks in and settles into a comfortable squat " "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," He gives the other man a small nod from where he leans against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest It's fine. Now, what do we need to talk about?" "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He shakes his head, still looking at Sp eck and not noticing Radimir. The things...the things there, it's horrible. But he claims to be the one good thing to come of that awful, sand blasted and heat scorched place.." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Ah. He says and smiles at Radimir. What indeed?" "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","Who are you talking about Berias? He as ks curiously. Oh. He looks a little startled, looking from one to the other We ll, I think first about Ann. What we want to do and what must be done if it fai ls. Then about Mira...she's not doing well herself guys. She tried going into the mines and ran out. I found her just inside the city entrance looking sick,

like she couldn't breath. I think we need to try that ceremony for her too - tr y to help her get some answers." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","We'll get to who I was talking about lat er. He shakes his head. I know Mira isn't doing too good, she did -die- in mine s after all...maybe it just brings back bad memories? And I already have some, a dmittedly, not to credible answers, but answers none the less." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," He sighs and looks to Berias for a moment. Discount anything the fire spirit tells you, I doubt any of it is true . Then, to both of them, he states I can begin the ritual at anytime, we simply need to restrain Ann somehow, as I doubt she'll leave the city willingly for an ything. I think we should be able to tie her with strips of hide, to keep her fr om escaping. Once whatever benevolent spirits we call up fix her, we can then un tie her." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir","What answers are they Berias? He looks genuinely curious It would be good to know as much as possible before we try an ything." "Khelek, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Radimir"," He sighs a little at Specks words And if no spirit can help her?" "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri"," He sighs softly and looks down at the hilt of the sword that hangs at his side Well, I don't know...but if she appears to be dangerous in even the slightest, we may need to take action. If a nything, we should keep her from hunting and take her weapons before she can eve n become dangerous." "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," Uh.. He gives a half-shrug.*They're not really -answers- But I'm under the impression, after a little\"chat\", that the Flowing rock spirit brought her back." "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Cathal Adri","((OOC: I'm going to be gone for the next few hours. Sorry. >_> ))" "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","walks inside" "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She opens the door slowly poking h er red head inside. is it alright for me to come in.. I don't like being outsid e all alone.." "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He smiles at Miratine. The conversa tion is over for me, I must go be with Auda and help build our home. Feel free t o talk with Rad though. He makes his way to the door, and tilts his head to avoi d hitting it. " "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks out of the Wood Cottage" "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks to the east" "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He walks by and smiles at Stella. H ey Stella, I'll be helping Auda if you need me for anyhting." "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks to the east" "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He trots in down the road and resume s his place next to Auda, helping with the house. Sorry about that love, had to chat with Speck and Rad." "Khelek, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Audosia","I'm sure they are happy to see you t oo. My dad is leaving soon.. so it'll just be us soon. He's had a longing to fin d his father, like how you had a longing to visit home so I understand and I hop e he does find his father and I hope he's happy again eventually. She says as sh e works on the cottage and smiles a little bit. I hope he isn't gone too too lo ng though." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He smiles re-assuringly at Auda. I'm su re he's not as easily distracted as I am. He'll come back or visit when time per mits, I'm sure." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia"," She nods and then shrugs, continuing he r work with some strange determination to it. I'm sure he will.. yes. I hope he finds his father without much trouble." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He nods as well. I imagine it's hard, k nowing your father is just -out- there somewhere.." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia","Dad's been there for me for a long time so it will be odd not to have him around for a while. She answers and gives a sm

all shake of her head dismissively before clearing her throat and moving to carr y more wood over to the half done cottage. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Auda, love..Are you sure you're alright w ith this? I know Rad wouldn't leave if he thought for a second it would hurt you .. He says, his voice heavy with concern. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia","I'm fine with it. I know he -needs- to d o it. Look.. She turns to Berias with a sigh. I don't have to like every decisi on but I know when someone needs to do something and they can't it can be upsett ing. I love my dad too much to stop him and I don't -want- to stop him. I hope h e finds his father and maybe we can all meet him some day. So.. I am alright. Sh e turns back to the cottage and ties the end of a stack of wood logs " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Auda, it's okay to complain if you don't like something. You don't have to tell -him-, but I am an open ear, so if you ne ed to voice your concerns I understand, If you don't want to though, that's perf ectly fine. He says, not looking from his work. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia","I don't complain Berias. I figured you k new that about me by now. There isn't much point to it and it's not like you tel l me things that bother you. Maybe we're just similar in that way, huh? She offe rs a shrug of her slim shoulders and continues at her work. So I'll give you th e same answer you give me when I ask what bothers you..'Everything's fine'" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He stops working and leans again the hal f built wall in front of himself, sighing. Auda...I-I'm sorry I don't tell you things, I just feel...bad, when I have to trouble others with my own problems. I f you want me to, uh, open up to you, I suppose I can get over myself though..I love you and I don't want to see you like this, if it's a byproduct of my own wa ys that bothers you, I would do as you ask to make it right. He speaks, staring intently at the unfinished cottage. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Qasim"," He wakes up and sits up with his eyes clo sed and rubs his stomach I's a little hungry" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia"," She walks over to Qasim and smiles soft ly. How's some meat sound? I have something else too. Here you go.." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," His concerned expression fades as he hea rs his sons voice and he smiles, walking over to him and scooping him up. Qasim , I'm so happy to see you again! Papa is sorry he was gone for so long, but he's back now!" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia"," After handing the food to Qasim and kis sing his forehead, she steps back to the cottage. Don't worry about it Berias. I don't see anything wrong with not wanting to complain. I never have had the ha bit as a child and I doubt it will develop now. All I've really wanted was hones ty from others and support." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," Not looking away from Qasim, he speaks t o Auda. I'm sorry I haven't been..honest, with you. Know that it weighs heavy w hen I have to with-hold things from you, but I guess I'm just misguided enough t o think it's the right thing to do.." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Qasim","Daddy!! He hugs his dad You was gone so l ong! He lets go of the hug and starts nibbling on his meat " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Qasim"," He gets back to work on the cottage " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He sets Qasim down, allowing him to retu rn to the cottage. I know Qasim, but I'm back now. And I won't ever be gone tha t along again, if at all." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia","Well things either remain the same or ch ange. She says simply and looks to Qasim, giving a smile as he works beside hers elf and Berias on the cottage. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He sighs and smiles, though sadness is o bvious in his eyes. My time back home...it made me realize how important to me you are, and my sons and daughter...I want things to change, for the better." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Berias... Can i.. can i talk with you" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He looks between Miratine and Auda for a minute, then nods weakly. He walks up to Auda and kisses her cheek, then whispe rs in her ear. I'm here for you, and I'll try to remember you're there for me..

With that he sets off down the west road, waving for Mira to follow. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","walks to the west" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","walks in from the east" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Alright. He says, his face somehwat sad. What's the matter?" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Um can we not talk here.. beri.." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She notices Speck and fidgets awkwardl y.. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He shrugs. I'll follow you." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","walks out of the City Entrance" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He makes his way out of the city after h is sister. My little ones are sleeping, it is safe to speak here." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","walks inside" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He ducks low to enter the tent, his back making a chorus of pops and cracks. He winces and sits near the entrance. So w hat's the matter then?" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","beri.. I don't know what to do and your the only one.." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns. What is it?" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Radimir.. he..*her face flushes as a ha nd ocmes ot rub her face." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","i just don't know what to do.. He kisse d me.." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He grins suddenly, his tooth glinting. Ooooh, I know what this is about then." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She sits down utter shock and disbelie f on her face. but it.. was on my neck.." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He chuckles a little, swinging his legs to cross them under himself. What else would you do but kiss him as well?" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," her face growing about as red as her h air. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","But Beri.. I know left my old home behi nd..but I just feel like.. She growans rubbign her face. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He shrugs. So? Rad is a nice guy, and u h, I can admit he's not exactly -bad- on the eyes either. Go for it!" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","beri.. I just feel bad.. Its not that i don't like him.. Its just.. I feel like I'm betrayign Sal" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","I know i shouldn't feel this way but I do..!" "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns and shakes his head. Sal was no longer your mate the minute he became like Din. That is in the past and you s hould treat it as such. Now is for happiness and new starts." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She frowns. It still hurts though... She nods swallowing hard. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," HE sighs. Mira, you're a good person fo r still trying to love him. He dosen't deserve it though, give your love to peop le who need and want it, so they can look at you and see the person you -are-, n ot the one they -want- you to be." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She opens her mouth as if to say somet hing yet remains silent letting the words sink in. You're right.. if I keep was ting my love on them I'm still never goign to be loved back." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He nods. Loving Sal now is worthless, y ou'll get nothing in return. Only -give- love when you -get- love, Mira." "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","but.. How can I be sure that its love.. " "Khelek, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","I don't even think I know what love is any more or what feels like from another person." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Mira. He says, grinning now. Love is the simplest, most complex and easily understood difficult thing ever. It's loving s

omeone, not how they look or think, it's looking them as a whole, an entire bein g and knowing it is the person who makes you feel right." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","The person that makes me feel right.. Sh e strokes her new braided hair idly thinking. " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shrugs a little. I can explain the fe eling Mira, but when you find the person, the sun shines brighter and the grass is greener. You'll know when you see it." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","Sal isn't the person that I love like th at. he used to be.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","i think i know now beri.. I just don't k now.. what i'm goign to do about it.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sighs, sadness returning to his ice-li ke eyes. That can happen, Mira...look at me, and how I was with Abagail. She wa s almost right, but it was wrong. Auda and I may struggle, but her smile brings warmth to my heart, and for this I love her more than anything." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","It would be weird for me to be with her papa though. She blushes again. " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He smiles. Love dosen't know the word we ird, Mira. I know Auda will understand, and Rad will accept it." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She chuckles. Auda wanted me to be wit h her Papa the moment I got here.. perhaps.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","perhaps it was just meant to be that way " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","But it isn't about what others want .. n ot in this case is it.. its about what i want.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He nods quickly. This is about -you- rig ht now, and Rad." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","I should go speak with him.. I might hav e hurt his feelings.. unknowingly.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","He's been realyl worried." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She smiles huggign her older brother. Thank you beri for talking with me" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He nods again and moves to exit the tent. You should do that, I must get back to Auda." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","walks inside" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","walks inside" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He wanders back over and resumes his work on the cottage. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so good at helping other people.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Qasim. He calls, smiling now. Come cheer your papa up." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He sighs a little and moves back, going t o rest against a tree. Never mind, I'll just get some rest.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He lies staring at Auda for a while, then clsoes his eyes and slowly falls asleep. " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Audosia"," She looks down at Berias and sighs quiet ly, the sound barely audible before she turns her eyes away to continue working. " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Qasim"," He walks over and lays down next to his fa ther and hugs him " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He sighs a litle, only just half asleep. Qasim.. He says, hoisting him up on his lap. How where you while I was gone?" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Qasim"," He looks up at his dad I was good. Not mu ch happened really." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles. That's great little one, your Mama says you a very good boy.." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Qasim"," He smiles back at him Cause I have!" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He chuckles. Well I brought ocean powder back with me, so all my good little sons can have journals as well, like me."

"Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Look. He says, pulling out his old journal . You can write your secrets and stories in here, I'll show you how to read and write later. He smiles. " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","But. He says, tapping his son on the nose. We have to make you one of your own, first." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Qasim"," He slightly frowns at his dad Radmah is a lready teaching me how to read." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," His smile falters a little, though remain s. Well that's a job for your mama and papa, though if you rather Rad do it...I udnerstand, son." "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Qasim. He says, yawning. Papa needs rest. .you gonna keep me safe while I sleep?" "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Qasim"," He chuckles and nods " "Khelek, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles and yawns again, then closes hi s eyes. " "Khelek, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She watches Berias sleep for a while t hen she looks to her children and smiles, taking her time to walk to Tiat and Qa sim and kiss both their foreheads before she settles down tiredly near Berias an d the boys to get some sleep. " "Losse, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","Hi Auda She waves as she passes through t he clearing. " "Losse, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","walks to the west" "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He wakes up slowly, smiling. He looks a round himself and grins, simply remaining in the presense of his mate and son. " "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Hey Berias. I was wondering where ever yone was." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He looks up from his position lying nex t to Auda and his sons, whispering. Hey Rad." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She looks to her father and smiles sof tly. Hey dad." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","oh.. He smiles at Auda. I didn't notice you where up.." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She looks to Berias and nods a little. Yeah, not that long really. Mira was here a short while but just passing throu gh I guess to see how the cottage was coming along." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sits up, carefull not to disturb the boy sleeping on his chest. When the house is finished, I'll get to work on bed s and other things for us." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He smiles at his daughter Hey Auda. H e squats next to them, the smile on his face staying soft So am I going to get some new grandchildren soon?" "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Ah. He blushes a little. Not in front o f the littles, Rad.." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He grins at Berias and raises a brow The littles will be fine. It's not like I'm asking you to demonstrate in front of them." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She shrugs at Radimir and then chuckle s. I don't know yet. There's still alot to do But the cottage is almost ready a tleast and Berias said he would work on beds. I haven't had a child in oh.. four ..five years now? A little wait won't hurt." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He chuckles, though a little awkwardly. Still, it's something I'd rather not have to explain to them at such a young a ge..." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He gives a dramatic sigh You're going to wait until after I leave? He winks Guess I'll be doing my best to hurry bac k. Though, fairly seriously I will want to spend some time with papa before I come back. I'm hoping once I find him I can coninvince him to come visit." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Do you know which direction he might be in dad? If Lorelei isn't too far maybe he didn't go too far away either incase?

She asks, her eyes curious as she looks to her father. And the boys aren't tha t little you know Berias.. we will have to start explaining things soon." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He nods a little at Auda. I know, I my self didn't really find out till...well, you know when that happened. None the l ess, I'd rather let them learn other things before that comes to the table.." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She shrugs and glances to her sons, gi ving their cheeks a tender stroke before picking herself up from the ground and stretching. " "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He carefully sets Qasim down from his l ap, then stands up as well and resumes working on the cottage. It's your choice as much as mine though, maybe even more.." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","If they ask, I will tell them. She says and looks away from the boys, still smiling as she begins work again on the cot tage. " "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles. And if they ask me then, I' ll tell them to go to their mama." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","That's fine. I think they should know a little. The rest they will gather when they get mates of their own." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods. Speaking of which, I think th ey should go to Lorelei for that, Zos and her daughters had more and more daught ers each day." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She smiles to Berias and nods. Yes, g ood idea. That's exactly what I was thinking since we've so many boys. Maybe we can all go visit Zos as well when things aren't as busy." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods again, smiling. She misses you y'know. And she has one of your old hats too." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","I miss Zos too but I'll see her in time ." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He looks back to the house. Mhmm, mayb e take Qasim Tiat and Hiba with, Caila too maybe. They can meet the rest of thei r family." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Radimir","I only know he is somewhere south of he re. My plan is to go sw a few times then south until I can't go any farther and then make decisions from there. I don't think he stayed close, he never wanted to come back because of Sofia. He almost spits her name in disgust Anyway, Ros a told Uncle Brody they were South/southwest from Lorelei." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","Hiba's so quiet and so is Caila lately. Hiba doesn't speak.. have you heard him speak dad? He usually just would eat an d work on gathering things. He made a little box once to put his things in but n ever speaks, even when I try to get him to react. She frowns at her words and li fts some wood up to tie it off. " "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," HE frowns at her words as well. Hiba n ever really spoke much anyways...Caila though, wasn't she such an active baby?" "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","She used to be but she stopped being so after she could speak. She shrugs sadly and moves away from the cottage as she gets more wood. She just stopped playing with Ize, so I don't know." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs and shakes his head. We're st ill young though, we can have more girls and boys." "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","True. She says softly and silently cont inues working. " "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Oh, I almost forgot! He pulls his hat fr om his head and holds it so Auda can see it. I got a hat too!" "Losse, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She looks to Berias' fedora and smiles with a bit of a nod.

"Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shurgs. I recently returned from a f our-year visit to waht is now a horrible place. I simply like hearing your voice and seeing you Auda, so what would you -like- to talk about?" "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She tilts her head at the question and squints her eyes softly as she pulls her legs up to cross under her. I don't re ally know.. I think I told you everything basically about the children when you got back. It's been pretty quiet otherwise, oh and Ann got herself burnt really badly in the mines fighting something, so I cared for her a while, but she's act ing odd.. so Speck mentioned some ritual that might help her. Mira wants to do i t too since.. well .. She looks up to Berias. She told me she died and then cam e back so she doesn't understand either." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","Yeah.. He nods. I saw het grave at Melia ns forest...I heard about Ann too, poor thing barely had a mind to her self in t he first place.." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He sighs and motions for her to come clo ser. Come here Auda, I've been back a day now and haven't even kisses you." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She scoots a little closer and keeps he r hands on her lap still as she looks to him a moment then out at the house. It 's nice you came back. I know Qasim missed you, such a good boy he is really." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He frowns a little. Didn't you miss me? " "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","Yes.. She says, turning her head to look to Berias and continuing her words. I suppose I did. Did you miss me when you were away with your family? You took so long to return that I wasn't sure." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He nods furiously, moving closer to her. OF course I missed you Auda, you're almost all I thought of in my time there." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She unconsciously draws her legs up and hugs them when Berias comes closer. Oh, alright. I don't understand why you st ayed so long if things were so bad." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shakes his head. If all had been nic e as I planned, I wouldn't have been there longer than two years at most, but I can't simply ignore the things that happen to my family Auda. But I would still be gone if I didn't put my foot down, Dinovas mate died and I missed you too muc h to care, Auda.." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia","So what all did you do there then? She a sks, still hugging her legs gently but now resting her head against her knees.

And how did you put your foot down so to speak?" "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He moves closer and places an arm over h er shoulders. I mostly gathered ocean powder and dealt with other peoples probl ems.\"Putting my foot down\" Was telling everyone I was done handling their prob lems, and that I must go home to be with my love.."

With the boys and please be hon est..if you want to go back, tell me so too. I'm tired of you hidng things from me." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He slowly nods, looking her in the eye. OF crouse I will stay Auda, now there is no where but with you that I want to b e. I will be here,and be a father for our sons and daughter, or any more we have as well." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She keeps her gaze on his for a while. Okay and you're not keeping secrets from me? Hiding nothing?" "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," His face grows heavy and he moves back f rom her. I can't hide anything from you, Auda...I did some thing, with...with P eri, he needed me Auda, I-I can't say what I did was right, but I did for him... I won't ask you to understand Auda, I can only ask that it dosen't make you hate me.." "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She tilts her head at his words but kee ps her eyes on him. What do you mean??" "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","I guess.. He sighs, staring at the floor. I guess I mated with him. His voice is tight, as if trying to hold back the wo rds he speaks. " "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She sits up slowly and a look of confus ion comes over her face as she sort of just stares at Berias. With.. your broth er? Are you sure it was mating..? Like us?" "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He shakes his head. Not like...not like with us. It couldn't ever be like with us, Auda. He says, a pleading tone enter ing his voice as he looks at her now. " "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She rubs her hand along her arm idly as her eyes shift away from his and she presses her legs up more to her and rests her head on her knees, remaining silent. " "Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He sighs and look back to the ground, dr awing his own legs up to his chest to hug them.

"Losse, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Audosia"," She just shakes her head at his invitat ion for her to speak and keeps her arms hugged to her legs, her already pouty li ps, downturning sadly.

"Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He lowers his mouth to here ear Miratine , we don't want to actually hurt him." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He lets go of Mira gently then walks back to Berias Calm down Beri...she'll be back. Why don't you rest in the house?" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Auda.. He says, his face suddenly saddened. I-I didn't get to tell her..." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She glances over her shoulder at Radimir and shrugs. Beri is a lot stronger then me I don't think I could hurt him if I tried" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," Calmly Tell her what, Berias?" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She rubs her head sheepishly. I might h ave gotten a little carried away...*" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He turns, unable to help but grinning Mi ra, looks like you did the right thing. He isn't so bad." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks at the parchment in his hand and drops to his knees. My love...it's not her fault.." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","I usually don't do things like that.." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","You did the right thing. He smiles a littl e at Mira then turns back to Berias, squatting down and looking rather sad again Berias, I know this is tough, but you have to let her have some time. She doe s love you, I'm sure of it." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," Puttign her bow back in her quiver she w alks over to her brother.Kneeling down beside him. Beri, Auda will come back.Sh e loves you too much to stay away for long." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," Laying a hand on his shoulder. She gives him a reassuring smile. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He looks at the parchment again, shaking s lightly now. She...she thinks it's her fault.. He looks at Radimir, speaking wi th desperation heavy in his voice. It's not her fault.." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Baked Cave Fish has been constructed" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Tiat","Ivy Net has been constructed" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She slumps some still confused about wha t happened but keeps her mouth shut. A pair of worried deep blue eyes pace betwe en Radimir and Berias. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","Would you like me to go talk to her Berias ? Bring her a note from you?"

"Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","OOC: Guys I'm about to leave for the night , driving out to LA sorry. I'll be back tomorrow." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," OOC: Kay. Drive safe and have fun. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","I-I did what I did with Peri becuase I love him... He looks Radimir in the eye, his own leeching small tears. I love Auda so much more though..." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She takes in the words tryign to deciphe r them. Huh?" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Why... He speaks, crying now. Why can't I love other people to? What did I do?" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She still loks confused for a few moment s as she goes deep in thought her face paling. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","I never stopped loving her! She always mean t the world to me, and Per meant so much to me too.. He says, not sobbing but a steady stream of tears flow from his eyes. Why can't I show two people how much they mean to me?" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," Sher eyes open widely as if soemthign ju st sinks in. A frown showing across her face for a few moments of disgust before they soften. I thin kI know what this about now.." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," Her face turns to one of deep concern. Beri why don't you come talk with me inside Hmm." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","N-nothing wrong happened! I love him and I love Auda! Why!? Why is it wrong for me to? He says, slumping forward on all fou rs, the parchment gripped tightly in his fist. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Beri.. She hugs him tightly. It's alrigh t. I understand... It makes sense to me now." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","It's not fair! He yells, pushing his sister back as he move back up to a sitting position. Why can't see just see that I l ove her more then ever, but I love Peri too!" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Oof. She topples backwards from the emoti onal shove. Groaning as her head knocks against the hard cold earth. *" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","I never did ANYTHING to hurt her! All I did all day every day was think about her, while I dealt with others problems! Did I complain? No! I smiled, all the while I knew my love was back here alone witho ut me! He screams, almost ranting now. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," Tears roll down her eyes as she listens to him screaming at the sky. her visoin swims her tear filled eyes fighting to s tay open. Beri.. I've always told you. .tha tI would not judge and Even now.. I won't..*" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Judge!? What is there to judge!? I love Per i and I love Auda! It's so simple, but no one even -tries- to understand! He yel ls at his sister, conviction in his eyes. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She doesn't move where she lays. There is never anything to judge Berias.. That is why I am here now. Yel lat me. Take your frustrations out. This is what you need i will gladly take it." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Why did we even have to hide it?! Why shoul d anyone hid their love!? He continues to yell, though his face and eyes now sho w a mixture of confusion and desperation. " "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She staggers to her feet. her headache c ausing her vision to go fuzzy. You don't have to... Love is love.. You know mor e about love then myself who am I to say anythign berias." "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He shakes his head. Why is it wrong? Becu ase he's my brother!? Becasue he's a boy too?! I never ask anything from anyone, and just ONCE I do something on my own to be happy and I don't even lie about i t, this is what I get!? Hate? Dissapointment? She can lie about all she pleases, I look in her eyes and know what I see!" "Kuile, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She blinks as if trying to clear her vis ion. Her body physically sways side to side as if her legs are unstable. What is right and wrong...? I have no answers for you." "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Becuase there isn't one! Ther IS no wron

g and right with love, he loves me just as much as I love him, if not more! I wa s there for him when he needed someone, I undid Dinovas He almost spits the name out now. I undid Dinovas damage!" "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I don't think Dinova's damage can ever be undone Berias.. But i am happy to know that.. you helped.. Peri.. her voice s slurs as her eyes slowly roll into the back of her head her body collasping. " "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He opens his mouth as if to continue ra nting, then stops as his sister falls, his face pale. Mira..? He moves closer a nd looks down at her, frowning. No. I can't deal with this right now. He takes a deep breath and walks off at a steady pace back to the city. " "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks inside" "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks inside" "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","walks inside" "Kuile, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He walks back in, obviously quite shake n. He silently resumes working on the bed, his movements fierce and determined. " "Rosa, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","walks inside" "Rosa, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Berias I'm sorry if I made you upset last night.." "Rosa, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," Still working on the bed, he dosen't look u p at her. It's not your fault." "Rosa, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","No it is.. you see.I can't possibly unders tand it all.. btu beri.. I sort of say this coming with Peri.. Just I didn't kno w it was you he was talking about.." "Rosa, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Please.. He speaks in monotone, not looking up from the bed. Not in front of my son." "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","I understand Berias.. I wasn't going to speak of it any further." "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","walks inside" "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Mira? Berias? Is everything okay?" "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Everything is fine. He says, still workin g intently on the bed. " "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She nods. Giving a sigh. " "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Do you want any help building the furni ture Berias?" "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He nods. That would be nice. So I can g et to work on crates for storing things." "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Okay. She sits down beside her brother observing how to make the bed first before copying his motions. " "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Let me- He says, pulling a few chunks of wood over to himself. -do the bed posts." "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Qasim"," He looks up at his dad What can I do?" "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Alright..Beri just tell me what to do.. " "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He smiles at his son. I'm sorry I got m ad at you the other day, Qasim. You can just hand me pieces of wood for now. He looks over at Miratine. Just do what I do." "Rosa, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She nods. Watching him work on the wo od posts for the bed.*" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","has broken his tool" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," Working furiously on one of the bed posts , he brings the already worn saw down at a sharp angle and it snap clean in half , wedgin a piece in the wood. He grunts. Useless thing..." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He stands up and sighs. Well we need ano ther saw if this is going to work." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She flinches as the saw snaps. I'll go get somethign to make another one" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks out"

"Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","walks inside" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," Returnign with an armful of baones and her worn bone knife in hand she smiles. I'm really good at making things like t his. So it should be done in no time." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods. I would prefer a metal saw, but this will do for now." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She nods. Well.. It would take longer to make a saw out of metal then to finish your bed .. She chuckles. This will h ave to do for now." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","The Wood Bed project is not making any pro gress" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She loks up from her bone saw subtly gl ancing over at Radimir every once and a while. " "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri","walks inside" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Cathal Adri"," He quietly steps into the room, look ing from person to person for a moment before speaking I noticed that everyone seems very distraught about something, and decided to figure out what was going on. One of you should probably start explaining." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Setting down her knife for some one else to use. She sighs standing.*I need some fresh air any way." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","walks out" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","walks inside" "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He pauses his work on the saw and adresse s Speck. If things had gone the way they should have, me Peri and Auda would b e the only people who knew." "Rosa, 91 - Evening, hr 12","Cathal Adri"," He frowns for a moment at this, and then responds simply Well, that doesn't sound good. But...if that is so, then I shall not pry. Feel free to let me know, if you need my help on the issue." "Lote, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","Speck.. Radimir said that he wants to le ave soon. So are the preparations for the.. ritual .. I think thats what its cal led.. Is that going to be happening soon.." "Lote, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He sighs and shakes his head. Speck, the re is no advice you can give on the situation that would help me or Auda -at all -. You just simply wouldn't understand." "Lote, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Cathal Adri"," He gives a small shrug Alright, Ber ias. He then looks to the woman Ann needs to be awake for it, or we'll never kn ow if it is working..." "Lote, 91 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","Oh yes. I understand now. I've never wit ness what a ritual is.. She rubs her head sheepishly. " "Lote, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","I'm afraid Ann might never wake up aga in. He frowns a little though not directed at any one person Should we go ahead and do the ritual for Miratine first, and hope Ann wakes up soon? What would y ou suggest Speck?" "Lote, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," A bit of worry shows in her eyes bi ting her lip almost out of habit she looks between Radimir and Speck. " "Lote, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Well i do hope that Anne wakes up .. I really would prefer having her taken care of first.. but if she may not wake at all; I can't put off getting my answers either." "Lote, 91 - Before dawn, hr 2","Radimir","And I really would like to leave withi n the next few days. Miratine, I don't see why, unless Speck says otherwise, we can't try with you first." "Lote, 91 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine"," She takes a deep breath looking over at Speck. Alright.. I just know that her situation is of higher importance." "Lote, 91 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He shakes his head, focusing on the sa w. I don't see why she even stuck around in the first place now that I think ab out it. Why do we even want her here?" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","Well I'd hope it was because all of you a re nice here.. Even if I wasn't your family... I'd hope that you'd let me stay u ntil I'd have gotten on my feet." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir","She seemed nice enough and lost when we fi

rst met her. Wasn't going to just kick her out right? But she has gotten stran ger and stranger. I told her not to fight that monster that burned her...she ca used these pains to happen to herself unfortunately." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," he gives a small shrug It may have a ttacked her. But regardless, we can begin performing the ceremony with Miratine. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She looks back at radimir a bit of worry on her face. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He sighs, shaking his head. I say we -pol itely- ask her to leave when she is better. She has been naught but trouble sinc e we found her here." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir","So how do we begin? Do we need to go outs ide?" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Radimir"," He raises a brow at Berias And ask for o ur pick back." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","And He says, looking up from the saw. If s he does not get better, and her mind slips further, I will end her suffering mys elf." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","Hopefully she gets better before you have to resort to that Berias.." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," He glances to Berias for a moment, an d nods I'm too injured, and I fear Radimir may be too kind hearted. Perhaps it would be best if you did. He then looks at Miratine, though he answeres Radimir Aye, we need to go outside." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Bone Saw has been constructed" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He stands slowly, brushing his hands off. I would like to watch this as well, though I ask we keep it from my sons." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Is therea certain place that we have to g o outside Speck.. her face seems to pale a little showing her slight unease. and worry. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He gives a small shrug in response I 'll not act in secret. If you do not want any to see, you'll need to keep them f rom following us into the forest. He looks about for a moment, then states I'm going to stop at my house. I will meet you all outside the city gates." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri","walks out" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," HE sighs and follows after Speck. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","walks out of the Wood Cottage" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","walks out of the City Entrance" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri","walks out of the City Entrance" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he steps from the city, clad in naugh t but his leggings. The only three possessions he carries are an old dirty scrol l, a bound parchment sheaf, and a jagged bone knife. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," HE smiles a little and nods at Speck. Fin ally seeing the way of the shirtless, I see?" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","walks out of the City Entrance" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He glances at the other man, his face drawn and grim No. Dead hide hinders the spirit's ability to view your own spi rit. he pauses a moment, gently tearing away his leaf bandage with his jagged kn ife, then states You'll need to remove your armor." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","walks out of the City Entrance" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","Okay, so what do we need to do?" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He turns slightly to assess all three at once, his jaw set and eyes hard. After silently looking them over for a time , he states simply Remove your clothing, first. At least down to your pants for now. The dead animal skin, or melted stone, or whatever it is you wear now will hinder a spirit's ability to communicate and see your spirit." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","What...? her face flushing a little. You want me to .." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," He raises a brow but complies, stripping completely and arranging his things in a neat pile "

"Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He chuckles. No problem, I rarely wear a shirt as is." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," he does not answer Miratine, as he sl owly moves to pick up a piece of hide, using his jagged and bloodstained bone kn ife to cut it into three strips, one much wider and longer than the other two " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","I take it we'll take off our pants when we are ready? Or will we be able to leave them on? He asks Speck, his own pants s till on " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She watches him curiously wondering what he was doing as she works at the ties of her cloak with shaky fingers. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Mira. He says, seeing her nervousness. We' re all family here. No need to be modest." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She turns her back to them a slight flus h on her cheeks as the cloak slides down her back. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He finishes with the last cut, and gl ances towards the forest as he replies somberly You'll need to remove those lat er on. Be glad it is warm. he then looks the group over once more, and states Y es, Miratine. It's only clothing. Berias, the bracelet and the boots." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," He keeps his gaze carefully averted from Mira, watching Speck's actions " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He stoops and works the massive boots off of his equally large feet, then frowns. Must I take the bracelet off?" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He gives a small nod Yes. The bracel et as well, it won't be for too long. He then studies the strips of hide for a m oment before giving a small, satisfactory nod. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She works at the bracelet around her wri st and her own hide shoes. Settling them within a basket neatly her arms subconc ioulsy cross in front of her. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He sighs and eyes the bracelet on his own wrist warily, then works it off, the skin under it much more pale in comparison to the rest of his arm. Very well." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He nods once more, and then silently wraps the three strips of hide about his fist before turning and walking off int o the forest, calling over his shoulder in a dark voice Follow." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," Leaving his pile of things behind, he beg ins following Speck into the forest, walking carefully over the uneven ground " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She watches her brother over her shoulde r guilt in her eyes with knowing he had to take the precious item off. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns and follows after Speck, his fee t snapping and crushing small twigs as he walks. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She follows after them stepping carefull y with her bare feet behind Radimir. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," After walking in silence for some tim e, he comes to a stop in the center of a small clearing. The trees hem in this c learing, their dark boughs reaching to scratch the exposed skin of those passing by. Once within, it is almost like a room of its own, and the rising sun's rays only barely find their way to the forest floor. Staying at the edge of the clea ring, he holds up a hand to tell the others to stop, and then slowly begins to u ndo the strings on his leggings, removing them. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," Nodding silently at Speck, he stays at th e edge of the clearly and unties his own leggings, pulling them off silently and folding them before setting them near the entrance so he can find them again. He waits patiently for more instruction " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," Slipping out of her skirt easily she fol ds the fabric. She a nervous sigh. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," HE stops as well and reaches down, deftly undoing the clasps on his leggings and allowing them to fall to the ground. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She undoes the braid trailign down her b ack. Sorry Radimir. Holding the strip of hide in her hand she set it down with her skirt. "

"Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He ignores the loud thud as the man's steel leggings hit the ground, sending up a cloud of shattered dead leaf fragme nts. The orange and red bits slowly flutter down in the dusky clearing, almost a s if enacting a fire. Almost as if not hearing the woman speak, he slowly makes his way through the falling leaf fragments, unwrapping the hide straps from arou nd his hand. Handing one of the smaller straps to Radimir, he solemnly points to the woman's wrist. Then, gripping a long branch of one of the nearby trees, he deftly cuts it from the trunk with his jagged knife, revealing the green beneath the bark. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," He takes the strip from Speck and looks t o where he is pointing, at Mira's wrist. With a nod, he turns toward Mira, givi ng her a smile of apology as he gently takes her right hand in his, then wraps t he strip of hide around it carefully tying it off. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Speck.. He says from his place under a part icularly large oak. What exactly does this\"Ritual\" entail?" "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," she meets Radimirs eyes with courage tho ugh they have turned almost a deep blackish blue.As he ties of her hand. She wat ches Speck her head turning to Berias as he speaks. She remains silent observin g everything. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He ignores the larger man as he studi es the long branch he has cut off, pausing only a moment to glance at the woman and the man he had given the hide. He points to her other wrist for a moment, in dicating they should be bound with the hide, and then slowly turns and places th e tip of the cut branch to the ground as he slowly begins to walk the small clea ring's perimeter. As he walks, the branch catches the ground, leaving a near inv isible trail of pressed grass, leaves that have been pushed aside, and small lin es in the dirt. " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He pushes forward from the tree and grabs at Specks shoulder as he paces by. Speck. He says, in an unnusually commanding tone. What are you going to do to my sister." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She holds her other wrist next to the ot her. It's alright berias.. I'll do what ever needs to be done." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He allows himself to stop for a momen t, his bare feet kicking aside dead leaves with a gentle hiss as he comes to a s top. Barely glancing over his shoulder at the other man he replies in a distant voice She will not be harmed. Please do not break the circle. With that, he gen tly pulls his shoulder away and slowly begins to finish the walk as a gentle and warm wind blows through the clearing, sending the shattered and falling leaves up in small flurries " "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He scowls and allows him to walk off, idly bringing his hands up in a fist to pop the knuckles. For your sake Speck, I ho pe you're not lying." "Lote, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir"," He removes the tie-off on the first wrist and looks slightly embarrassed as he entwines both in the hide piece so that sh e is unable to move them apart. With another tie-off, he turns to Speck in ques tion, Mira's hands in his " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Tiat","Leaf Bandage has been constructed" "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She watches radimir tie off her wrists be fore lifting her eyes to watch her brother and Speck. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," Finally finishing the circle, he retur ns to where he began. Nodding his head slightly to indicate that the others foll ow, he slowly begins to walk towards the center of the clearing, still dragging the stick behind him so that the circle has a single line going halfway through it. Coming to a stop in the center, he gently lays the stick down directly perpe ndicular to the line he just made " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He pushes from the tree again and approache s Speck, hands crossed over his chest. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He helps Mira cross into the center of the clearing, making sure she doesn't trip or fall without the use of her hands. W hen he is less than a foot from Speck, he stops, looking curious but awaiting fu

rther instruction " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," Radimir guides her into the middle, grate ful for his help with her knees nearly knocking together. She licks her lips in a nervous fashion. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Mira. He says again. You know don't have to do this if you chose not to." "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," He motions for the girl to step onto t he side of the branch opposite the way they came with his knife, and then silent ly begins to unwrap the second strip of hide from around his hand. Finishing wit h this, he hands it to Berias and then slowly begins to unwrap the final, larger strip of hide in utter silence, save for the quiet chirp of a bird overhead. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He eyes the hide warily, taking it from Spe cks hand. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," Walking to where he asks her to stand sil ently. She looks up to her brother. Determination in her nearly black colored ey es. I want to do this Berias." "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He tilts his head and looks down at her, hi s own eyes not unlike metling ice. If you are sure. I will step in should somet hing happen, know this." "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," As he finishes unwrapping the final pi ece of hide, he pauses a moment to use his jagged knife to taper the ends and th en silently points from Berias to the girl's ankles. Then, taking the larger pie ce of hide, he slowly begins to circle around to stand behind the woman, studyin g the hide as he goes " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He watches carefully, offering Mira a reas suring smile though he stays silent throughout " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," His eyes flash anger at Speck for a moment, though he stops and examines the hide in his hands, considering for a moment. H e sighs and moves behind his sister, dropping to his knees to gently tie off her ankles. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," He waits for the larger man to finish binding the woman's ankles, and then slowly moves to wrap the larger hide about her head from behind, placing it on her like a blindfold. Pausing only a moment to brush a red strand of hair aside, he quickly ties the knot on the hide. Then, in a voice that is still as distant as ever, he asks None of these bindings ar e too tight, Miratine?" "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He moves back a few feet and eyes Speck war ily, his sockets like pools of ice swimming with concentration. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She places her feet together to make it e asier for berias. She closes her eyes for a moment taking a deep breath as she s ways a little do to the odd posture. She opens her eyes just in time for them to be covered by a piece of hide. No they are fine.. Tight but not too tight.*" "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," He nods, and then places a hand on her shoulder, applying pressure as he states in the same distant voice Down." "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He takes a half-step forward, his eyes almo st boring in to Speck. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," Thers a bit of a grimance on her face as she can't see whats going on. She wobbles leaning forward so that she can kneel at the command.. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He stands nearby, silently shaking his hea d at Berias but watching Mira to make sure she is okay " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," He glances to Berias for a moment, and then slowly takes a step back and away from the red haired girl. Another soft w ind blows through the clearing as the man quietly studies the jagged blade as he takes another step back and then begins to let out a low tuneless hum from deep in his throat. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He inhales slowly and steps back, rolling h is head and popping his neck. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She flinches at the sound of the hum then the popping of Berias's neck. "

"Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He eyes his sister with concern, the sounds made from his neck as he popped it still echoing faintly through the windless t rees. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," Slowly, placing one foot before the ot her, he begins to circle the girl. After the first revolution, the low hum turns to a deep throated song, though it is more a chant or perhaps an incantation, h is voice wafting through the green dew-drop covered trees Still trees and silen t breeze, bring the spirits here to aid this woman, Miratine... he continues as he circles, still slowly droning this half-song as the soft warm wind takes his voice and carries it away through the trees beyond behind the popping noise Beri as had made. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He looks around warily, not sure what to e xpect but shivers a little when the wind picks up, even though it is warm " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He tenses and flicks his gaze between his s ister and the other man, his jaw moving back and forth as he grinds his teeth. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She hears the chanting and shifts as she feels the wind brushing against her skin. She can almost feel the ground shift n ear her as Speck circles her. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," He continues to chant as he maintains his orbit about the girl, glancing purposefully at the other two man as he raise s his voice just slightly " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stares at the other man for a while, the n joins in. His own voice carrying much farther, with a sound not unlike dead le aves as it rebounds off the of the still branches of the trees around them. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," After a long pause, he joins as well, his voice rusty, and a little unsure " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," Her body starts to shake slightly as the voices almost seem to overwhelm her. her head looks either way as if trying to pinpoint to location of Speck and the others. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," He stops circling, though he continues to sing, and slowly picks up on the larger fallen leaves. Cupping it in his han d, he slowly makes his way towards the girl, holding the knife aloft. Silent, sa ve for his sing-song half-chant, he drops to a crouch beside her " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He continues to sing, but again takes anoth er step forward, his voice taking an unnerving edge to it. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","*Even as Speck kneels beside her she can't tell where he is only that the chanting has suddenly gotten louder. Her body sh akes her hands trying to pull that the ties that won't come loose." "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He steps closer as well, watching with cur iosity, wary at the same time " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He watches Miratine closely now, his should ers parting to bare the intimidating width of his chest in full, though still he continues to sing. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," He studies the girl for a moment, his own chanting dieing down. After a pause of studying the girl, he speaks, his voi ce loud enough to carry over any chanting that may still be taking place Today, we call upon the spirits of Hillhaven Forest to join us in this circle, and to commune with us and the other spirits of the world. We ask them only to answer t he questions held deep within the spirit of this Kindred woman, Miratine, and to do no harm as they remain here...." "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stops singing as Speck does, though he s till maintains his intimidating stance, even more so now because of the silence. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," His own voice dies down, his eyes darting around as though expecting something to appear " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She shudders his words almost like a slap to the her body. her body bare they would bad able to see muscles tensing and s pasming. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," His bared chest begins heaving as he gazes

at his sister, his face showing a mixture of worry and anger. " "Lote, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Cathal Adri"," He raises his eyes to the strangled su nlight that somehow makes its way into the clearing as he continues to speak, no w setting the leaf down You spirits who have come are thanked, and we now hold you to this world for a time with an offering of that which binds us to this wor ld and flows through our bodies like rivers through a plain or fire rock beneath ground. He presses the bone knife to his palm, not flinching for even a second as its jagged blade bites into his skin and draws blood. Quickly, he takes up th e leaf and catches the few drops of blood that fall with it. Then, he gently set s the leaf down once more, careful not to spill even a drop, as he moves to take Miratine's bound hands, holding the knife at the ready " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," His breathing quickens and his eyes flas h anger again at Speck as he draws another step closer, the words he so obviousl y wishes to speak nearly soaking the air around him. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," As shes still almost fighting against the bonds her arm nearly brushes against Specks. She acts as if someone as slapp ed her as she pulls back from it. She doesn't go far as her arms and legs are bo und. If listenign slosely they might even hear few whimpering sounds from her. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," He gently takes the hide, placing t he jagged knife between her hands he quickly makes a small, shallow cut in her h and before grabbing the leaf and collecting the few drops of blood that fall. Th en, he pushes to his feet, and silently begins to move towards Berias " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He exhales slowly and relaxes his chest, the air around him seeming to grow thinner, as if some element was removed from it. He takes a step back and crosses his arms over his chest, eying Speck now. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," Though the cut is shallow she gives a cry of pain. Her hands shaking against the sensations. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," He comes to a stop before the large r man, and gives a small nod, holding out the knife. Your blood, Berias." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He eyes Speck with a hollow gaze for a w hile, then takes the knife clenches his other hand around it, pulling it down wi th a sharp motion, all the while his gaze never faltering. He offers out the kni fe and the now bloodied hand. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," He calmly takes the knife, and then holds the leaf beneath the bloody hand to collect the drops that fall. He then slowly moves to do this with Radimir before walking to stand in front of the wom an once more. Holding up the leaf, he begins to intone Spirits of the forest, w e offer this blood to you, and bind you here to answer the questions of Miratine , Kindred and Melianson. He then slowly allows the leaf to tilt, the blood, thou gh there is little of it, slowly dripping from the leaf to fall on the bound gir l. The calm, warm wind blows once more, rustling the leaves. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He watches with a stoic expression, cros sing his arms back over his chest, bloodying it in the process. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," The blood drips upon her her body tryi ng to move away from it as it caresses her skin. her breathing quikens sweat for mign on her skin. Something of a gasp coming from her before she goes eerily sti ll. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," He takes a step back, allowing the bloodstained leaf to flutter uselessly to the ground. He then bows his head, lis tening quietly to the wind in the trees " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She body lurches forward gasping for a ir.

She struggles out bewteen heaves of brea th.*" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He darts forward and helps his sister up , pulling the blindfold over her head. Mira? Are you alright, did it work?" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","beri.. beri II saw.. I saw him.." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","You.. He blinks, moving to work the hide

off of her wrists. You saw him? The spirit?" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Isaw. She coughs again tryIgn to regain her posture. It was horrible. I;ve never seen such a place in my life.. Their bodies.. The bugs.. souless eyes looking at me for eternity. She shudder. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Cathal Adri"," He watches in silence, arms crossed over his chest. And then stifles a yawn before slamming a foot down on the stic k he had set earlier. Ignoring the pain of the rough bark against the sole of hi s foot, he snaps the branch and mutters a quiet thank you " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Mira.. He says, working the hide off of h er hands and moving to her ankles. I know. Come on, lets get some clothes on an d talk somewhere else." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," I couldn;t make him out at first. I tw as hard not to rip over the bodies there were so many. mangles there insides han ging out.

" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri"," He turns to walk off The city and tent are not far off...I trust you can all find your way back... With a small no d of his head, he begins to walk away, calling over his shoulder I should very much like to hear about all of this later." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Cathal Adri","walks into the City Entrance" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He finally works the hide off of her ank les and steps back, taking his thing back up and dressing himself, taking extra care with the bracelet. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She dresses herself clumsily pulling o n her skirt her hand throbbing from the cut. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He moves back to her and places an arm o ver her shoulder, moving to guide her to the tent. Come on, there is much to di scuss now." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","walks inside" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks inside" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Settling inside she pulls her cloak ov er herself fastening the ties.

So...you saw then? You..you know what it's like?" "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She sits in front of her brother looki ng into his face straight on. If you know of that place that i speak of then ye s." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs and reaches behind himself, pro curing a large bundle wrapped in hide. Then this should speak for itself. He se ts the bundle down between then, allowing the hide to fall from it. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She picks up the carving her eyes wide with quite horror. Yes yes I saw him. It was hard at first. But he was there.. .." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods slowly. Atop a spire of bodies so high that the light and heat pouring from him was mistakable for the sun itse lf." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," He looked like a sun So high above.. She shivers. Above a pile of rotting bodies.. Berias i have seen death.. I have seen people die btu I had never seen anything like what I had seen there. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She nods copying the same exact words. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He nods in a sad fashion, staring at the ground. Now you know what I see when I simply want to seek his counsel, what I saw the day I named him...it's something I had hoped no person would see again. " "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Beri.. She swallows gripping his hand. He gave me my life back..." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","I know. He says, returning the grip. Spi

"Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","That is what he told me. His gaze.. tho ugh I couldn't fully make it out.. It felt like flames licking against my skin. Then I woke up in the clearing.." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs, exhaling slowly. I've no clue how anything benevolent can live in a wasteland of bodies such as that, and ato p a tower of them no less." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She shakes her head, I don't have the answer either Berias.." "Lote, 91 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Mira... He speaks with some hesitation.

"Lote, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He takes a slow, deep breath. I know. Bu t it's nothing I can't handle, I've dealt with much more in greater amounts many time..." "Lote, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I have faith in you berias. I donlt thin k that you couldnt handle it. I just wish that I could handle it myself is all. " "Lote, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," OOC: I'm logging off soon. " "Lote, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods and lets go of her hands, making for the exit.

I don't know why, but the last thing I remember is sitting by the city, then waking up on your skirt... He looks at her, then chuckles when he notices her flustered state. You two should probably take it slow, you are leaving afte r all." "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She exits her hairs looking seriously mu sed that no amount of fixing with fingers could tame. Her lips are slightly swol len ANd her clothing rumpled. With a voice that she is tryign not to sound as if caught in an act she looks up at her brother not meet his eyes. " "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Oh you fell on top of me.. when you weren 't feeling well. the skirt came off when I finally got out.. She rubs her head s heepishly, her cheeks turning pink. At his obvious statement that she and rad ha d been doing soemthing. "

"Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He chuckles again and holds the skirt out to her. Well uhh...sorry I stripped you while I was bleeding to death?" "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Thats alright Berias. She takes the skirt in hand looking at its torn edges. this skirt was old any way. i used it to ba ndage you up..." "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He nods, wincing as his arm drops to his s ide. And when you're not, uhh, busy, I would like to talk about my dream..more happened while I was unconscious, and this time it was not idle chatter." "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She nods I'll be right back.." "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","walks into the Animal Skin Tent" "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","walks out of the Animal Skin Tent" "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Did you want ot speak inside this tent.. i know you're all injured so you probably shouldn't be moving too much." "Naur, 91 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He frowns a little. Are you sure you and Rad don't want to...keep going?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Estelanta","has foraged maple sap" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She giggles. One second you tell me to s low down and then the nest you suggest that... We should continue as we were. Co me on inside Berias" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He nods, smiling. Kissing and groping is g ood fun, wouldn't want to ruin that for you two is all." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","walks inside" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He ducks in the tent and sits, smiling apol ogetically at Radimir. Sorry about uhh...well, y'know." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","walks inside" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","So do we need to wait for Speck or can you tell both of us.. I already told Radimir about what I saw during the ritual. Sh e sits her face still slightly pink.her hands laying in her lap. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head. Speck is still quite o ut of it, so we should just get down to it." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Keep in mind when I say this.. He says, his face darkening. My bones are thick as the branches of an oak, and my skin is li ke leather. In my twenty five years of living I have done, and seen, much more t han most. I have torn a wolfs throat out with my teeth, and snapped the neck of an Enra with my bare hands. But the things in that horrible horrible place make my blood run cold, and my eyes shut tight. So the words I speak have greater mea ning than I give them." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","Alright then. You said there was more defi ned answers this time" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He nods towards Miratine. First, what happ ened in the first dream." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","The place never changes, a field of bodies s o far that all you see are the twisted remains of what once may have been Kindre d, and piles of bones so high and so burnt from the heat alone that you may thin g all the people who have -ever- died have gone there to rot. But atop the highe st stack of bodies, bleeding heat and light so intense I thought it at first to be the sun, sits the man in the chair. He says with a monotone voice, pulling ou t a carving from a bundle behind himself. This is him." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Look it over closely, because as long as you know me, you know him. He speaks, nodding his head. It was no gift he gave me, but a piece of himself, a bad piece that he thought I would be able to make bet ter use of. He reaches forward, tapping the carving. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Now that the piece is mine, he has bettered himself by passing the\"Gift\". As hollow as his eyes are, and as wicked and dry as his words may sound, his intentions are pure and honest." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Mira. He says, turning to face her. He fanc ied you, and saw you as something not fit for the place you where dragged to by dying in those caves. He wanted you for himself, but knew it selfish, so he gave you back to us. He says with a small smile. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She tenses for a moment but looking at he

r brothers smile relaxes. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir","If he has the power, what stopped him from selfishly keeping Mira to himself?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head and turns to face Radimi r. I told you, the part of him that would keep her, and use like an object is n ow inside of me." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","But.. HE says, the small smile returning. K nowing it wicked to force this upon someone else, precautions where put in place so that unlike he was, I am not always some monster." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She looks at Radimir then glances back to her brother. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," He winces at Berias' words And...that is the same part that makes you go a little crazy?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He lets out a dry chuckles. A little? Wher e do you think the endless bodies in his home came from? They do not simply appe ar dead and rotted by themselves." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," her face pales, her eyes havign a slight far away look to them before she shakes her head slowly. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","But. He says, shaking his head. This is abo ut Mira right now. He turns back to face his sister. Having the fancy of a spir it such as him follow you can be either a gift, or a curse. The wind may blow to keep the rain from your eyes, or the tree may fall to bring you back to him. Al l I can say is that as long as I live, and the horrible thing is caged inside of me, the wind will blow in your favor." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","His place is the mines and tunnels though, a ll gifts brought to you on the surface are the works of other, equally enigmatic spirits. Though he can not part from his horrible home, like friends he can ask others to do his work for him." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","So..if you. die... I could end up going ba ck to that place. She asks her eyes opening with slight shock. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shrugs at that, frowning. He would not say, all he -would- say was that what is inside of me keeps him the benevolent t hing he is today." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","but if you die .. That part of him would t hen leave... As all spirits do from our bodies when we die.." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","I can not be a cage if I don't live to hold the gate shut, so I assume it is either set free, sent back to him or given to s omeone as unfortunate to stumble across it as I was. this is speculation though, his words are like the flowing rock I saw him in, thick and elusive, scalding t o touch." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine","Elva help me if anything happens to you.. She frowns her hand holding her forehead. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head. He wishes no harm to y ou though, so the cage is shut tight while the contents are in a place to hurt y ou. Without the buffer though, in my weakened state there is little to keep it i nside of me, hence why wounds will drive me mad." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Things can seep from a cage though, thus my bouts of rage. Like you saw with Speck, and like when Auda left, the\"Gift\" has influenced my other emotions." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She looks over at Radimir a wondering loo k on her face. Does the spirit convey his feelings through you as well?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","OOC: I'll be hoppingeebtween accounts, so ig nore it if it says I'm not on))" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Radimir"," Quietly Berias, is there some way to give this'gift' away, if you knew your own life was in peril?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He shakes his head. If there is a way, it is one I do not know of. But it is something I wouldn't wish on even Draven." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," Heedless of Berias' presence, he reaches f or Mira's hand, squeezing gently " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","I think...if we can figure out a way...if i

t means keeping Mira safe I would like you to give it to me if you ever think so mething will happen to you. His face is deadly serious. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He nods, leaning back a little. That is mo st of what I learned, the rest is questionable lore on smaller, far less importa nt spirits." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," her head jerks back to berias as he menti ons Draven. Her jaw tightening just a little. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He stares at Radimir for a minute, frowning . That would not play well, you are her mate evidently, and giving a piece of s omething that wishes her dead is not waht I consider the smartest move." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She squeezes Radimir's hand. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","It doesn;t matter which way we look at it. The spirit wil lcome for me when and where he chooses.*" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He shakes his head at his sisters words. I do not think it so grim. The way i see it, when My time comes I will travel far , far away, in hopes no one ever stumbles upon my remains." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","He wanted me to go home he wanted me to bu ild a bow. He wanted me to come here.. He wanted me to.. She shakes her head. A ll the messages I have heard are from him." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He flushes but doesn't look away If it me ans keeping her safe I can go away. I will not consider the spirit taking her a viable option. What of other spirits? Would there be any who could keep her s afe in exchange for something?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir","And what of Elva? Could she not somehow in tervene?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Elva has protected me,, Radimir.." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He raises and eyebrow at both of their word s. Mira, I would assume he does what he can to guide you towards safety and hap piness. Rad, I actually hadn't thought of that, it is something I will bring up with Speck when time permits." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," HE shakes his head. Elva Elva Elva. I hear the name over and over, and all I know is a story from Zos of how she watches L orelei through the fish. Not once have I heard of her anywhere else, much less i n regards to other spirits in my dreams." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He raises a brow at Beri's words Your mot her did not teach you?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","My mother doesn ot believe in it" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","But she has come to me.. I had a dream man y years ago" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," his eyes widden further She doesn't? Wel l, Elva is the mother of us all, Berias. She was the first woman and she died y oung but only so that she could watch us and help us in the more powerful spirit form." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Though Elva is our grandmother.. I don't u nderstand it.." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She sighs. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He looks at Mira, a different sort of surp rise She did?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He looks thoughtfully at Berias Thank you for sharing what you know, brother. I am grateful you are strong enough for th e burden you hold." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She nods. I was wandering through the mi nes the walls seemingly closing around me. The wall was picked away from the ou tside.. And I was able to be free once more.. Elva was standing near the edge o f the clearing my child in her arms.. It make sense now.." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","There was more to it.. but its was years a go.. And i have forgotten many kety details" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","*She rubs her head sheepishly" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He smiles at her I am sure that what you do remember is all that is important."

"Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Elva... He plays with the word for a while. I will question him about this as well, something sounds...off about it though. " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He reaches up and scratches at his face, fr owning. I could almost swear I've heard it, though i've chalked it up to Zos' s tory.." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He looks at Radimir for a minute, then turn s to Miratine. Mira, could you give me and Radimir a minute alone?" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She nods standing I'll let you talk in p rivate then." "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","walks out" "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Radimir"," He looks at Berias curiously " "Naur, 91 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He takes a slow breath and looks the other man in the eye intently. Radimir, I trust you as both a friend and my brother. But spirits help me I -will- find out if you do ANYTHING at all to hurt her, I w ill find and do unspeakable things to you. I don't think you would ever hurt her , but know this." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He looks at Berias, then slowly nods I understand Berias. We had the same sort of understanding with Auda however...I expect you to makr that right, whatever you have to so. But I would rather hur t myself than ever think of harming Miratine. You have my word." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He looks at Berias, then slowly nods I understand Berias. We had the same sort of understanding with Auda however...I expect you to makr that right, whatever you have to so. But I would rather hur t myself than ever think of harming Miratine. You have my word." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He nods. You know how much Auda means t o me, I would bring her the moon and stars to make right what I've done." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Which is the only reason I have let you be. He nods, they understand one another completely " "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs and leans back. Spirits she ma kes it hard for me though....is it really my fault that I have enough love in me to give to more than one person? What I did with Peri I did becuase I love him deeply, at his young age he was there for me in one of my darkest hours, and I w as there for him in his. is it such a crime we proved this love? Not once in all of it did I love Auda any less, as a matter of fact it made me appreciate her m ore." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Berias...I think she sees it as her not being enough to keep you happy. It has nothing to do with Peri and everything t o do with your relationship to her." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head. She's more than eno ugh to keep me happy Radimir, but should there be a limit to happiness? Is it no t in her best interest for me to be happy as well?" "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","You...the two of you need to figure that out Beri. That isn't for me to say." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs again. I know Radimir, but she is your daughter, and she left me before I had a chance to tell her what it was all about. I mean is it anyones place to tell me I can't love my brother? So wh at if it's unusual, who is to say what is right and what is wrong in love?" "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir","Honestly Berias, it is her right to say - she is your mate. He sighs She needed some time to take it in and decide if s he loves you enough to make this work between you. I told her I hope she will t ake you back but it is her decision." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","A mates duty is their choice to keep one another happy, and if it is right it should come naturally. The sky brightens an d the tree grow green when I look at Auda, but I do not think it her place to te ll me I cannot show my own brother love when both him and me need it most. He sa ys, leaning forward again. " "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Radimir"," He sighs again Berias, I will not argu e with you. I think this is the discussion you need to have with Auda." "Naur, 91 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He shakes his head again. With things a

lready thin between me and Auda, would it be such a good idea to argue with her -more-? I would much rather seek the counsel of someone older, or at least just her father. But if you truly think this isn't worth the time I have spent thinki ng about it, I will leave you to my sister. With that he turns where he sits and exits the tent.

" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","I know why, but ever since that large crea ture nearly killed me and Speck, you've been at the front of my mind.. He says, frowning slightly. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","OOC:*DON'T know why))" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She rubs her head sheepishly. Really t hats odd.." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","I can't figure it out.. He says again, rub bing at his chin. I won't lie, ever since Draven left I'd taken some interest i n you...Recently though it's most of what I think about, especially with how thi ngs are going with Auda.." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Well i agree that was a long time ago.. It was the same with me as well.... She fidgets slightly.. As she dodges around the reason behind his recent proclaimation of feelings. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He sighs, idly pacing back and forth now. I don't usually just suddenly start focusing on someone like this...Maybe it h as something to do with the wound? I didn't hit my head though.." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","No you didnlt. her faces flushing still As he paces. You did loose a lot of blood Berias.*" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Mmm. He stops and nods. It's intrusive th ough, mostly I was thinking about what to say with Auda, and what would happen, all hopes against it, if she left me...But suddenly you're pretty much all I'm t hinking about." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Beri do you really not remember what hap pen whe nI was bandaging you up? She blurts biting her bottom lip " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He frowns and looks at her. I'm fairly s ure all I did was black out..I may have uh, said some things...Idle observations though, hair and eye color.. He says, fidgeting now as well. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Yes do you .. remember anything else? Sh e asks her fingers intertwining and un-twining. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","No.. He looks her in the eye suddenly. I -did- black out, didn't I? I mean I don't remember anything... He face suddenly goes pale, worry in his eyes. I didn't attack you, did I?" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","No you didn't attack me.. quite the oppo site...You really do spew things when you're dazed... I realyl didn't know what to do.. or how to respond. You were quite flattering.*She chuckles negating her gaze to the floor just in front of his feet" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," Flattering? He says, his brow furrowing. *What exactly did I say?" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She swallows brining her eyes up to mee t his face. Many things I think you would regret. How pretty you thought I was.

How if you and Auda weren;t togetehr you would have hope you and I would have worked out..." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He blushes suddenly, averting his eyes. Oh.....well, i guess since it's been said, I don't regret it..." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She blinks at the confirmation t o what he was saying. You als osaid T hat I had always been there for you and You had tried being there for me.Then you fell over... and well.. She stops tryign to f idn the right words. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Mmm. He nods sheepishly. That sounds like me...I didn't hurt you when I fell over, did I? I mean, I'm much uh, larger tha n you..." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I had my helmet on.. Over all it wasn't too harsh.. Luckily you didn't bump your head on the ground. her cheeks growing brightly tinged almost as red as her hair. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He frowns a little. Didn't hit the groun d?" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She shakes her head. It seems I make a quite comfortable place to rest your head.." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," His brow furrows again, then his face is overtaken by another spreading blush. O-oh my...I'm uh, sorry?" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","It was better then you hittign your head as well.. Just it was a little odd for others to see.. Seeing a blush on Berias face she swallows. I couldn't move you though I tried gently,but what you said next stopped me.." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","..What I said next? His words come out unu sually quiet, as if dreading the answer. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I didn;t over exagerate.. mind oyu.. But you said you loved me.. then you buried your head.. where you felt comfortable. .." "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," His blush deepens, his pale face almost c ompletely red.

Don 't make more of it then what it is, but I'm going to hate myself if I don't do i t before you leave. He leans down eye-level with her, then plants a hesitant kis s on her lips. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," Her eyes open wide with shock as his li ps meet hers before they softly drift closed. " "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He tilts his head as if to draw away, tho ugh inviting sensation of the kiss causes him to lean forward again, slowling pl acing an arm around her back.

She closes her eyes tightly before sighing. You're my brother I'll a lways love you. but.. I can't hurt Auda and I can't hurt Radimir" "Naur, 91 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He nods, placing a hand behind her head. I know, I could never hurt Auda more, or do something like this to Rad as well. ..I feel it's something better resolved though, it would haunt me night and day if I didn't take the chance when I could have though.. He cranes his head down a nd gently moves hers back up for another kiss.

"Elen, 91 - Evening, hr 10","Radimir","I imagine so. He sighs as well Look, all I can tell you is that you have to make a decision. Auda is unlikely to be oka y with you being with anyone else. Can you be with just her, or not? If the an swer is no, you need to break things off with her as gently as possible. And if it is yes, then you need to make her understand it will never happen again.

Lets get all that out, you shouldn't be eating things like that anyways." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","If you were happy.. then I don't unders tand what happened to you when you left us.

I missed you... terribly when you left and then you told me what you did and maybe you really weren't happy with us here and that was what you really longed for. I think if that's what you want.. then you should go be happy." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Auda, I did what I did because I loved m y brother and he needed me. I won't lie, I missed you terribly and I had poor ju dgement and misty eyes, I was just dragging my feet around that place, it was ho rrible. He speaks as he pulls his son a little closer.

"Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Berias.. you couldn't show him love in some other way? You have other siblings you love too don't you? She says, cockin g her head slightly and still clearly confused. What we do is special. What we do give us these beautiful children, that's -our- love. She squeezes her hands a s her lips turn downwards at the corners. It sounds like it was a longing you h ad instead and I have no idea if that longing remains within you and if it does then it's not right to just act like everything will be like how it was before. I was happy then, I'm not now and I don't thnk I can make you happy again." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Auda, all you have to ever do to make me happy is be with me. Peri meant a lot to me, my own mother says I can no longer return to my old home, and both of my other brothers are stupid with power, and

they both follow my mothers every word. He says as he runs a hair through Hibas hair. I needed love, and my brother needed love. What we do IS special, and do n't think anything with anyone else would be -anything- like it." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","It doesn't seem special now. She says, her tone deadpan now as she settles down next to Qasim and sighs. Happiness wor ks both ways and I'm tired of the one getting hurt over trying to be my best. Wh at's the point really I wonder often if it's just going to be spat on." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia"," She turns onto her side on the hide bl anket and just looks at Caila, her eyes sad and worried as she strokes her cheek . Feels like everything crumbled." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He smiles weakly at his son, though he speaks to Auda. You where the one thing I held on to Auda, if I don't have you I don't see much point in living. I was gone so long, it's not as if my sons eve n need me anymore.." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","You said you would stay for them.. they still need you to teach them how to hunt or must I do everything always? She gr unts and stays on her side. No wonder you left, Berias. But you are not a man w ithout responsibilites. You better understand that now." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","They don't even recognize me as their fa ther, Qasim was more sad to see Radimir go than he was happy to see me return. M aybe if you stopped trying to do everything, everyone else would do it themselve s. He plucks a shard of wood from the corner of Hibas mouth. " "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Well, Berias. I guide them but they nee d more than just me. I feed them, love them, teach them. And I ask you to teach them and all you do is make excuses of them not knowing you. She shifts to look at Berias, her brow furrowed. How about you stay and be a man then and help me for once?" "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Because if what I asked for was listene d to, I wouldn't have to do everything." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Is a dead father better than no father? He asks, still smiling at Hiba. I'm ready to be their father, forgive me if I j ust wanted you to still be my mate through this process." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","Then be there father and stop making ex cuses. Simple." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 8","Audosia","You must make everything complicated. I t is very irritating Berias and you are not a child. She scowls with annoyance a nd lowers her head back down and turns her body again. Just be their father, it doesn't have to be any more complicated and you will not win me back like nothi ng happened. You have to -try- for once." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Tiat","has foraged dry brush" "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs. I'm not making excuses. I le ft home becuase of a promise to my now broken family, and made more promises whi le I was there, which kept me from my home and my real family. What happened is my own fault, and I accept that. If it has really gotten so bad that I have to win- you back, I'm not even sure I can." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","Well you don't even try so I guess that 's not my fault either. She just shrugs. If you aren't interested in trying the n I'm not even sure I can do anything either." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Even if I did try, I'm not entirely sure I could do it. Maybe I should just accept that I'll die alone, and pretend othe rwise for my children. He glances down at the bracelet on his wrist, and his smi le fades. It's not like I've been that lucky in the past, I shouldn't expect an y different from now, or later." "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","It's up to you, Berias. I don't wish to speak more of it but the fact is, you're the one who did this not me. So you ca nnot expect to say sorry and for me to just think it as nothing. She says quietl y then sighs. I did nothing wrong to you. I never have, I've always loved you a nd cared for you best I know how. I just wish that in return and you loved your brother and you went to him. You don't love me enough to even try?" "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","It happened because I wasn't with you, n

ot because I didn't want you, or you weren't enough. Now stop saying I don't lov e you, or I don't love you enough. I never said I wasn't going to try and win yo u back, I'm just saying I can't promise I will succeed. He looks from his bracel et back up at the sky, reclining against the tree. " "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","Then I'll speak no more of it for now. But it's stupid you did it because I wasn't there. You weren't here and I didn't do anything, but whatever. She shrugs again and goes quiet after that. " "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia","Hiba, don't let the hail get you, dear. She calls over at her son standing with Berias. You both should get out of it. " "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","It's fine. He says, tugging his son clos er, and under the cover of the tree. Hiba, why would you chew on a wooden sword ?" "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," She curiously looks at colorful flower s and tilts her head as she takes one up and smells it faintly, smiling softly s oon after and laying back down. " "Kuile, 92 - Afternoon, hr 9","Audosia"," Her eyes close and she uses her arm as a pillow as she keeps out of the hail in the big shade of a tree and quietly fa lls asleep.

" "Kuile, 96 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He cocks his head to the side a little, us ing his free hand to take the meat from the boy. Paaaa-paaa. He says, still sta ring into his eyes.

He slowly draws his arm away from his body and then holds it steady, as if holding an imaginary stone, and h is mouth contorts one last time to form two syllables, followed by a quick corre ction.

Maybe it's something we can work on, eh? He says, smiling now. In the mean time, maybe you 'd like to see how to hunt proper? I have many things I could teach you, son. He motions off towards one of the wolves. " "Kuile, 96 - Midday, hr 7","Hiba"," He looks in the direction his father motions , his eyes locking with that of the wolf's.

His mout h contorts with each new syllable, finally settling on a particular shape. Huuu nt. He grins excitedly now, pointing at the wolf with his imaginary axe. Huunt! Huunt!" "Kuile, 96 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He grins, a small glint of red light flash ing. Very good! Would you like me to show you how? He asks again. " "Kuile, 96 - Midday, hr 7","Hiba"," His grin grows and he jumps into the air, sp inning about once before landing in a crouch, he continues to hold his hands out grasped about his nonexistant weapon as he eyes the creature. " "Kuile, 96 - Midday, hr 7","Berias"," He smiles and takes his hat off, picking u p his helmet from its place next to the kiln. Maybe when this is done we can se t to looking for iron in the mines, so we can make you some nice armor, and a we apons. He speaks, pulling his helmet over his hair and down to obscure his face. " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Would you like that? He asks, his voice now carrying a metal flange to it. " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Hiba"," He remains excited as he looks in the wol f's direction, his grin as wide as ever. He is so focused on the creature that h e makes no indication that he has heard his father speak. " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He sighs a little and appraoches the wo lf ina casual fashion. It snarls as he drawns near and takes a step back, though

when he is close enough he simply grabs it by the back of the neck, wrneching i t down tot he ground and manouvering himself around it to turn it belly-up. Som e here! He calls to his son through the wolfs howls of pain and discomfort. " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," OOC: God, sorry for the typos, it's so past my bedtime.)) " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Hiba"," He closes the distance between them with quick strides, slightly crouched. He makes an excited noise as his father holds the wolf down, and his grin widens. " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He twists the wolfs head back and up ne xt his own own, crouching against it. See this? He asks, pointing to a quickly pulsing vein on the wolfs neck. " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Hiba"," He slowly creeps closer to investigate, s topping only a foot away and inspecting the indicated spot with interest. " "Kuile, 96 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He grunts as the wolfs attempts to snap at his face, kicking its legs about. He keeps one hand on its muzzle and wraps his legs around it's torso, just above its hind legs. This. He says, parting so me of its fur so his son can see better. Is a major channel for blood, the stuf f that keeps us alive." "Kuile, 96 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","But. He says, removing the hand form its throat and drawing out a knife from his belt. When you don't have enough blood in you, you die. He ends this sentance by slashing the wolfs jugular, sending sp urts of blood in the air. " "Kuile, 96 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," has killed grey wolf" "Kuile, 96 - Evening, hr 11","Audosia"," She beams broadly as she watches Berias and Hiba and when she hears Hiba's attempt to speak and smiles more softly, her presence silent as she just watches from a distance. " "Kuile, 96 - Evening, hr 12","Qasim"," Qasim wakes up and looks to his mother.

"Rosa, 96 - Afternoon, hr 9","Hiba"," He gets closer to the dead wolf, touching the wound with his hand as blood flows from it. He focuses at first on the wound , then on the blood on his hand, and finally on the bloody knife. Huuuunt." "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Hiba","Roasted Chestnuts has been constructed" "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He smiles again. Yes son, hunt. He takes a knee in front of him, sinking some in the rain-soaked soil. Now, would you l ike to learn how to do that? He asks, motioning to a fox. I may even let you us e my axe. He says in a whisper, casting a glance towards Auda. " "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Hiba"," He holds his hands up in the rain, the bloo d washing away from his hands. He inspects them closely for any remaining blood before smiling and looking in the fox's direction. " "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He looks between the fox and his son, the n holds his axe out to him, it's size almost matching Hibas. Here, be -very- ca reful not to hurt yourself, you mother would never forgive me." "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Hiba"," OOC: Inventory was full, I believe. " "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," OOC: Actually, I'm waiting for you to RP taking it before I trade it :x)) " "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Hiba"," He tilts his head quizically at the massive

weapon, moving about to view it from various angles before stepping forward and placing both hands around the grip. He glances between it and his father tentat ively, but remains obviously excited. " "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He raises it a little. Go ahead, just be carefull not to get hurt." "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Hiba"," has killed red fox" "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Hiba"," As soon as it is within his grasp, the weig ht of the weapon nearly causes him to fall over. With some effort, he is able to lift it from the ground and carry it as fast as he is able towards the fox. Hu uuunt! He quickly finds that he is much too slow while carrying the axe, and dro pping it, he sprints after the swift red animal, barely managing to catch it by the tail. Dragging it back to the axe, he wrestles the fox to the ground as his father had shown him, and, holding it down with his legs, grasps the axe in both hands and brings the bladed portion down at the fox's neck. " "Rosa, 96 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," His face twists in to a broad grin, laugh ing a deep baritone. I suppose that's one way to do it, very good none the less though!"

"Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","I know it doesn't immediatly make sense, and again I don't blame you if you don't beleive me, but yes. He grins, causing the evening sun to glint off of his tooth. It's a simple solution, and a friend of mine learned it the hard way, only after I very nearly tore his throat out w ith my teeth." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon","*He nods slowly, and hesitantly starts to m ove forward, then quickly lunges towards the side of his stomach." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He nods slowly, and hesitantly starts to m ove forward, then quickly lunges towards the side of his stomach. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," Again distracted by the conversation he remains completely still before blinking and looking down at the sword now plant ed firmly in his left side. Oh.... He speaks in a dazed tone, before placing hi s right hand on the mans face and pushing him backwards in an attempt to free th e sword. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He stumbles back from the push, pulling hi s sword out. He chuckles quietly, though he seems out of breath. You really sho uld pay more attention." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He matches the other mans chuckle, thoug h his trails off in to a mumble. For your own good, I suggest you find water.. He murmurs quietly, his breathing picking up pace, his chest heaving up and down now as the air around him seems to gain heat, and his expression goes blank. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He frowns, and slowly starts to back up. Berias...? He looks around quickly. Right... He sheathes his rapier, and runs o ff into the mines, panting, but moving very quickly. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon","walks into the Mine Entrance" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He lets out a low, slow groan before sud denly breaking out in a sprint towards the mines. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon","walks into the Mine Entrance" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","walks inside" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He waits until he sees Berias, and runs do wn the southwest tunnel. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon","walks to the southwest" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","walks to the southwest" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He barrels in, his posture a good deal m ore animalsitic and his breathing coming in fast, short gasps as he scans the ca vern with bright red bloodshot eyes. Ewon, where have you gone? He speaks in an almost scared voice in an attempt to distract from the boiling rage in his eyes . " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He looks back, then jumps into the flowing

river, grabbing onto a stalagmite " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon","((OOC: I think I meant stalactite or someth ing. Idk.))" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," OOC: Here's a good way to remember the d ifference, stalagtites hang on tight to the ceiling, while stalagmite stand stro ng on the ground ;p.)) " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," Hearing the splash of water he flinches a little, then sniffs at the air. Ewon? It's so dark, I can't see... He says ju st loud enough for his voice to echo over the rivers roar. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He holds on tightly, panting In... the wa ter." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","Why are you in the water? He asks with al most childlike curiosity, dropping to all fours and creeping forward carefully w ith slow movements. I never did learn to swim..." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He takes in a deep breath, and yells over the river. Get in the damn water, Berias! He takes in another deep breath, and pulls himself onto a dry rock. He lays down on it, panting loudly. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","I can't swim Ewon, what if I where to dro wn? He speaks with unsettlingly sincere worry, his gaze scanning slowly through the dim cavern. Why not just come over here? I promise I'm not angry that you S TABBED ME . He roars the last words out, his attempts to mask his current state with kind words finally stopping. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He exhales deeply, and looks at Berias. S cared of drowning, eh? He laughs, though he seems more afraid than amused. Come on now, you're going to let some water stop you from getting back at me? It's j ust a little swim." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," A low growl begins to rumble from his ch est as he continues to stalk about the cave, gaze flicking about as he scans for the source of his voice. We are in mines Ewon, these are MY tunnels, and I WIL L find you. He speaks with slow determination, his voice gradually losing pitch and gaining a raspy edge to it. I will find you, and when I do these floors wil l be slick with your blood." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Ewon"," He pauses, seeming to almost lose his calm ness. C-come on, you're only going to find me if you swim." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Maybe I'm done playing with you.. He whis pers in a tone only barely audible, giving to clues to his position in the cave. Maybe I should finish playing with Radimir instead?" "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon"," He pauses, staring at nothing in particula r, his voice breaking. Ra-Radimir didn't stab you." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Oh, well that's true.. He almost laughs t he words out. He only treats my lovely sister like refuse, which will get him m any more broken bones than stabbing me would..." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon"," His breathing gets quicker, and he looks a round, almost panicking. After a moment, he takes off his horn necklace, fills i t with water, and attempts to throw the water at Berias. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," The water misses him only barely, splash ing across the ground in front of him and causing him to flinch and scrabble bac kwards. Ewon, I should hope by now you know I don't like getting wet.. He mumbl es through a clenched jaw. Why not stop your cowering? Maybe I'll decide to kil l you before I make a nice helmet from your skull..." "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon"," He desperately refills the horn, and thrus ts it forward, sending more water towards Berias. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," This time the water splashes over his ar ched back, bursting in to steam as it contacts his flesh and causing him to let out a shrill, deathly shriek. I TOLD YOU I DO NOT LIKE TO GET WET. He roars in a hoarse voice, reaching around to try and claw at his back. After a while of st ruggling and writhing, his movements gently slow, before he slumps to the ground . " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon"," He silently stares at Berias, his breathin g slow and deep. Berias?"

"Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He reamins completely still, lying limp face-first on the ground, his breathing slowly returning to a more regulated pac e. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon"," He sighs, relieved, and jumps back into th e water, pushes off a rock over to the other side of the river, and climbs back up. " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon"," He gives one last look to Berias, and walk s out " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon"," He looks at Berias one last time, and walk s out " "Rosa, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Ewon","walks to the northeast" "Lote, 103 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks in from the northeast" "Lote, 103 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Beri..Are you alright..? She questions seeign her brother near or in the river. She squints as if trying to assess him and pinpoint his location. " "Lote, 103 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," HE groans and pushes himself off of the cave floor, inhaling sharply as he irritates the stab wound just left of his st omach. Mira? Is that you?" "Lote, 103 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," her footsteps sound off the cave floo r as she leans down beside her older and taller brother. she sucks in a breath a s she looks at t he wound on his side. Yes its me. You really like getting int o trouble don't you." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","It's nothing, I was just sparring with Ew on is all.. HE brings his left arm up to examine the thine gash running its enti re length. He got a few lucky shots in, I got distracted." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," Giving a sigh she shakes her head and pulls away his hand from the gash so she can examine it further. It looks more bothersome than deadly. other wise then that how are you feeling..?" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Fine. He speaks with a small frown. Not entirely sure why I'm in the mines though, the fight must have moved." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","You were growing possessed again. Ewon ran in here and you followed. Ewon exited and than I came in. I have not a clue what happened in here.. I sort of had to look for you. She looks around warily a t the mines. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Oh.. His frown deepens as he brings his r ight hand up to rub at the back of his neck. I didn't hurt him too bad, did I?" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I don't think so. He just looked wet wh en he exited. I can go check up on him in a short while. She nods. before laying a hand against his chest above his heart. how is your heart feeling?*" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He sighs a little, bringing his hand up to place over hers. Same as always, strained and tired." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","You had me worried. Wel lfor now you ar e fine and that is what counts..." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He nods, leaning forward to plant a smal l kiss on her forehead. Thankyou, sister." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She gives a half smile then chuckles I think you like to worry me. That way you get my attention. She teases. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He chuckles as well, smiling now. Well it's a nice bonus, I can say that much." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Oh I think there are others ways.. much nicer ways to get my attention. She pokes him in the chest gently. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Oh? What ways would those be? He says whi le drawing her closer, wrapping his good arm around her back. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She smiles as his arm circles around h er. Oh.. I don't think it would be enough to change your ways. She chuckles. I 've grown to comfortable to them." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He chuckles again, giving her lips a ten tative kiss. My ways work fine, I'm in no hurry to change them.." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I'm not out to change your ways. She sm irks leaning in and placing a gentle kiss against his jaw line. "

"Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Good, becuase it wouldn't work. He slowly moves his hand down her back to rest firmly on her rear. Like you say, I'm ver y stubborn." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Very stubborn. one of her hands moves o ver his chest trailing down to his abs; careful of the wound on his side. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","its the stubborn ones that one has to l ook out for. Blue eyes take on a flirtatious glint. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He gives fer a playful squeeze, before k issing her again. You don't get as tall as me without being stubborn, I suppose ." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She gives a little gasp not expecting the squeeze. Maybe.. maybe not. Thats to be decided." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He chuckles a little, still smiling. We ll I've yet to run across anyone as tall, or if even possible, taller than me. S o I guess I'm the best we have right now." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Hmm I don't think it is the matter so s ize called inot question. I think someone that is short can be.. just as stubbor n.*" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," so=of " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","Y'know.. He says slowly, tilting his head down to look her in the eye, his own glinting playfully. Someone once told me I'm big everywhere." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Oh did they. her eyes sparkling at the implications of his words while her hand on his abs trails to the edge of his ar mored leggings. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He nods, drawing her closer with the han d on her rear. They weren't lying. HE whispers slowly in her ear. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She giggles impishly her fingers still tracing circles on her bare skin. I already know this as well." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","Oh? He asks, genuine curiosity showing in his voice. And how's that?" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She giggles more a light blush gracing her cheeks. And take away the fun. I think not dear brother. her voice growing husky." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","WAit.. He says slowly, a mischivous grin playing across his mouth. The pond? All those years back?" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Perhaps. I told you I'm not going to te ll you. She smirks her blue eyes becoming a bright ocean blue. You're not the o nly one who can be stubborn. she sticks her tongue ou playfully. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," With surprising reacion time he tilts hi s head forward, nipping her tongue. But, I have my ways of making people talk.. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," her eyes open wide at the nip and once its over she pulls it back into her mouth. Oh it'll take more than that Beria s." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","You don't think that's all I have, do you ? He smirks wickedly, slipping his hand under her cloak the trace slowly up her spine. I've learned a few things with time, things that might make you blush.." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," her mouth opens slightly as his warm h and makes contact with her bare skin. You underestimate. Its been a while since A man's made me blush.." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Oh? He grins, bringing his other hand aro und slowly, mindful of the wound, to slip under her cloak as well and trace her collar bone. I think that's a challenge." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," She grins widely her eyes fluttering c losed for a moment at feeling his fingertips over her collar bone. Indeed, I a ssume it is. What are you goign to do about it?" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","WEll, I may have to cheat and use my stre ngth.. He whispers, turning her around in his grasp, and in the same motion shur gging the cloak off of her shoulders. "

"Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","All is fair.. Strength included. Your s tubborn. She feels the cloak shrugged off of her fram her bare skin reacting to the cold leaving goosebumps across her skin. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias"," He moves one hand down her bare chest to her pelvis to toy with the wiastline of her skirt, while the other moves around to cup gently at her breast. All is fair? My, I've been assuming there are rul es here.." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Its a challenge.. merely to make me blu sh.. what other rules may there be.." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," her breat hcatches in her throat as hi s large calloused hands roam over her skin. The the cold of the mines and the wa rmth of his hands sending sensations through her body. " "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Well.. He slips his hand under her skirt, gently dragging his fingertips just above her crotch. I thought maybe there wa s one saying something about pacing myself, but if I don't have to, I don't see why I would." "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," She arches her pelvis into his hand sl ightly mostly out of her body own reaction. i would trust that you wouldn't str ess your self.*" "Lote, 103 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Oh I'll be fine.. He gives her breast a g nelte squeeze while his other hand continues to tease around her wait, glancing her thighs while making sure not to touch her genitals directly. You, on the ot her hand, may need to relax a little." "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," Squirming under the touch on her legs and the soft squeezing on her breast she bites her bottom lip giving a soft mew l. leaning head back against his shoulder her blue eyes gaze at him half lidded . I am relaxed.." "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I'll be the judge of that. He whispers in her ear, angling his head to nip at her lips while the hand at her croth glance s teasingly over vagina, only barely caressing. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","beri... her words are cut off as he nib bles at her lip. A gentle moan rising in her throat from his small caresses. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Shh, I'm right here. He whipsers through a kiss, fingers playing down the length of ehr vagina as his other hand continue s to tease at her breasts, gently pnching at her nipples. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She leans more into his frame her body slack yet at the same time tense. Another mewl like moan passes through her sli ghtly swollen lips. As he touches her intimate spot her skin grows warmer involu ntarily. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Are you ready? He whispers in a quiet ton e, pulling her against himself as he sinks gently to the ground to sit, holding her on his lap while his hands continue to work. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She nods willingly.Even as they sink t o the ground the movement is barely noticed by her. her cheeks had yet to blush and even in her hazey state of mind it seemed the red head maiden was goign to g ive up on the challenge. You'll never.. make me blush.. her words are low and h usky broken between moans. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He smiles and leans in again, kissing he r deeply with his tongue as he slips a single finger inside of her. If you can still talk, you're not quite ready.." "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," As her maons his lips meet hers and hs i tongue dances with her own. Passionately she wrapps an a hand behind his head pulling him in closer. Her fingers deviling into his long black locks. As he pul ls back to speak to her she seems like she is going to say something teasing unt il his finger enters her. A loud gasp of surprise and pleasure esacping her half open lips a bit of color tinging her cheeks. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He chuckles through the kiss, his lips t wisting up in a grin as he slips another finger finger in, working them slowly b ack and forth while otherwise remaining silent. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She squirms under his slow and teasing

movements nearly whimpering. her other arm not looped behind his head warps aro und his side and grasps at his skin her nails biting into it slightly. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","If I can get another finger in.. He mumbl es through her lips, sucking gently on them. Then I think you're ready. Followi ng closely behind his words he begins gently teasing another finger over her hol e, his other hand moving away from her breasts and down to her vagina as well to flick gently at her clitoris. " "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She squirms feelign the continual wetn ess between her legs and the new sensation of pleasure she had never experienced before. Be.. ber. She moans her body shaking with pleasurable tremors. It was obvious that she couldn't stand much more of the teasing. i" "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Not quite.. He mumbles with an almost wic ked edge to his voice, before pulling both of his hands away. I have an idea, l ie down on your back." "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","her blue lust filled eyes open as her b osom heaves while she pants. Lie .. on my back.? She asks half dazed before rol ling out of his lap on to the cavernous floor and laying on her back.*" "Urnu, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He sits up on his knees to quickly uncla sp his leggings, allowing them to fall to the floor of the mine before crawling over her to kiss her. Now hold still. He pulls back again, trailing small kisse s down her neck and bare chest, taking extra time with her breasts before moving down past her belly to her crotch. " "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She resists the urge to squirmher l egs rubbing against one another as he trails kisses down her body. Once his kiss es near her crotch she shifts slightly. Her fingers grasping at the dank cavern floor. " "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He plants a gently kiss just above he r vagina before gently licking at the fold, switching between this and kissing a s he wraps bothe arms under her legs to held her steady. " "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," her head rolls side to side her red hair flailed around her like a blanket of flames. Unable to squirm away from t he pleasure yet at the same time not knowing what to do with herself. Sweat cove rs her body in a light coat across her skin.*" "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," HE grins and continues on his way, a fter a while slowly slipping his tongue inside of her while holding her pelvis s teady with his hands. " "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Oh.. Beri.... Beri... please.. She c ries out while half whimpering her back fully arching further than seemingly nor mal. " "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He moves back from her pelvis, creepi ng over her to give her another kiss, before mumbling through wet lips. So you think you're ready now?" "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She whimpers. her hands running ove r his broad shoulders and looping up behind his head. her nose nuzzling his gent ly. " "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","I'll take that as a yes. Without pause he pushes in to her, as slick as she is the fit is still tight, causing him to pause. Tell me if it hurts, okay?" "Urnu, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She arches against him as her enter s her. Her vaginal walls spasming around him with need. Keep going.. She moans.

" "Urnu, 103 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He lets out a lengthy sighs before standi ng up and replacing his pants, then helping Miratine up and drawing her skirt ba ck down to cover herself, pausing to give her rear another playful squeeze. He p icks her cloak up and draws it over her shoulders, giving them a few gentle kiss es before smiling. That is something we -must- do again some time." "Urnu, 103 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ewon","walks in from the northeast" "Urnu, 103 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ewon"," He walks down the tunnel, and hesitantly st eps forward to Berias and Miratine. Are you alright, Berias?" "Urnu, 103 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I'm fine. He says flatly, turning away fro m his sister to face the other man instead. Sorry about that by the way, but I gave you fair warning."

"Urnu, 103 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ewon"," He sighs It is alright. Let's hope it does n't happen again."

How long have you not been able to see well?" "Lasse, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I don't know.. He says uneasily. A long time I think, sixteen, maybe seventeen years?" "Lasse, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","Hmm.It could be because of this.. skin like stuff over your eyes.." "Lasse, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Wait. He gasps quietly. There's skin on my eyes? That doesn't sound at all right.." "Lasse, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","Well.. its like skin but not.. its clo udy.. and very thin.. It makes your eyes look nearly white. She makes a thinikin g noise. i could try to.. take it off.. it may hurt.." "Lasse, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He frowns and brings a hand up, tensing as he prods his own eye only to frown deeper still. It...doesn't hurt, it feel s hard.. He rolls his eyes as far to the side as he can and picks at one for s e cond, before gasping as he pries off what lookes like a small glass lense, revea ling the brilliant crytal blue that his eyes are. Ohhh, that doesn't feel that great.. He blinks a few time and closes the other eye to look around. Oh...wow. ." "Lasse, 103 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She winces as her brother pulls off t he film. And nearly gasps at the color of his eye. I'm sure that feels awful.. can you see better?" "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He blinks again, then does the same with his other eye. Taking a second to adjust his gaze he turns to face his sist er, before gasping quietly. You're...You're beautiful." "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She giggles shaking her head. I w onder what you were seeings things like.. her odeanic blue eyes sparkling brigh tly as they observe her brother's blue orbs. I'm sorry that I hadn't noticed th is sooner.." "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","It's alright. He says, grinning. No one seems to have. He pauses and drags a fingertip gently over her jawline, clos ely examining her face. I can't beleive I've never seen you like this.." "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She chuckles her cheeks blushing. I'm the same as i always have.. perhaps it is better that you had those in your eyes .. i think all men should have them for a while.." "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","To say the least, I'm glad my pants a re metal now. He chuckles, still exmining the finer details of her face. " "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She chuckles. If i didn't know th at you weren't seeing well before I think you were trying to flatter me." "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","I'm surprised you don't get it more o ften. Seeming to have his fill of her features now, he leans back a little exami ne the rest of her, untintentionally taking extra time with her chest. My my, w hy are you with some grisly old man like me? You could seduce the trees themselv es.." "Lasse, 103 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She chuckles at his first comment. Their comments mean nothing. she watches him take her in and chuckles once mor e. Have you seen enough dear brother? She teases.

"Urnu, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine"," She shakes her head sighs. What ev er makes you comfortable berias. She replies lowly pulling away from him. Lettin g him watch the sway of her hips as walks over to the shack. " "Urnu, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He scoots back a little to rest again st the wall of the cave, eyes on Miratine the entire time. I remember when you where little, all knees and elbows.." "Urnu, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine"," She laughs cutting a piece of wood to length. Well you were the first person I saw after I was born." "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I remember, I'd never see hair quite as..f iery, as yours. He smiles, rolling his shoulders. " "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She giggles. I'm sure it was an odd si ght to see. i met Zosime later on in life. She is the only other one that I know of that has hair quite like mine." "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I remember hoping I'd find other people li ke me, big people. He sighs. I hadn't thought I'd be the only one." "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She shrugs. Its something that makes y ou special. she looks over her shoulder smiling. I'm sure their other people as tall as you some where. I love you all the same even if you were shorter then m yself. she chuckles. " "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I couldn't imagine being shorter than anyo ne.. He says wistfully, leaning back more. I'm so used to being taller than eve ryone, and everything." "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","Well I couldn't imagine being taller the n you either. She grins whie lining up the piece of wood to nail it in on the sh ack. *" "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I wonder if anyone IS taller than me.. He says as he gets a far off look in his eyes, staring up at the ceiling of the cav e. " "Urnu, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","What would you do if you met such a pers on? She replies hammering in another pieace of wood. " "Urnu, 104 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","has broken his tool" "Urnu, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","The Wood Shack project is not making any progress" "Naur, 104 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","I'm not sure waht I'd do. He says with a shrug. " "Naur, 104 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Well I wouldn't worry about it then. Sh e smiles sawign a piece of wood unti lthe bone saw snaps and cuts one of her fin gers.She flinches bringing the digit to her lips. " "Naur, 104 - Evening, hr 12","Berias","Are you alright? He asks with a frown, pu shing to his feet and walking up to her. " "Naur, 104 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," She nods sucking on the wounded finger for a few moments before pulling it out the blood surfacing through the cut onc e more. Its just a scratch nothing more.. i guess this bone wasn't very sturdy. The animals must have weak bones here. She chuckles. " "Elen, 104 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He takes her hand to inspect the wound, still frowning. It doesn't look bad. We should make another saw, maybe from iro n." "Elen, 104 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","You never liked tools made from bone. S he replies trying to pull her hand away. Seems I'll have to get dressed and fin d us some for the saw I broke." "Elen, 104 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","IT's fine, Miratine. He says with a smile , releasing her hand. Ewon said we could use the iron they already have in the city." "Elen, 104 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She steps on her tiptoes to place a ki ss against his jaw. However I still need to replace what I broke other wise our home will never be finished." "Elen, 104 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I'll come up and help you get it done. He smiles. And it's not your fault, all things will break." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","*She nods slipping past him and slip ping on her clothing. I''ll go take a look.. for that iron I assume its in the s

mithy.." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","walks to the southeast" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks to the southeast" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," has killed The Toothy Worm" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks to the southwest" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks to the northwest" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks to the south" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks to the southwest" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He steps out shortly after Miratine, then makes his way to the city. " "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks out of the Mine Entrance" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias"," He steps in and smiles at Miratine, t hen begins to help with the saw. " "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She hums quietly heating up the iro n to make it easier to form. Well you'll have an iron saw like you've always wa nted.. I can help wonderign where everyone else is.. even thoug hI know they dis like our presence.." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","Probably in the kitchen, or one of the houses. He chrugs. " "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Perhaps.. She looks down at the iron a slight sigh. " "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," He walks in, a resigned expression o n his face. Berias, you and Miratine need to leave. The others are afraid to s leep without locking the door and to be honest I don't blame them - the spirit i s too dangerous to stay here. Take your chidlren if you need to but you should leave." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine"," She works on reheating the iron aga in when she hears the door open and clsoe behind her. " "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine"," She sighs turning to look at Radimi r. We haven't done anything.. Radimir and Ewon has given us clearance to live i n the mines.. I want to be near my child He's confused enough as it is. She shak es her head. Why would Berias have the need to kil lthem. You yourself lived wi th berias for many years.. I can understand your feeligns for not wishign to see us Radimir.. But this.. This is taking it a bit too far." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," He raises a brow Why exactly is it taking it a bit too far? Let Tibalt decide. He may go with you or stay, it is up to him. As for Berias, the same with his own children. And it makes me unco mfortable as well. I have no interest in seeing the two of you here together none of the rest of us want you here so you should go." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine"," She strikes the red hot iron hard. What if I say no wil lyou kill me with your blad. They hide away in their house s because of his spirit because they are afraid of him. Now all of a sudden we a re bad kindred and because of what heart ache. Let me speak with him.. and let m e speak with Ewon. This was his home first and he is the one who allowed us to s tay. If his children are scared of us let him speak to us instead. He is more cl ear headed then yourself." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir"," He rolls his eyes heaven ward as tho ugh to ask for Elva's patience. Miratine, I will not kill you, not unless you a ttack me first. And even then you'd probably kill me. Do you really think I wo uld stand a chance? Yet I will tell you now, if all of us children are asking i t, Father will agree. The spirit is dangerous, and I want Berias gone for Auda' s sake more than anything. He stays here and tortures her with his presence. H e leaves her and yet doesn't leave. Go aleady, go and take Miratine with you Be rias. You don't belong here." "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Radimir","walks out"

"Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Ewon","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine","What have we done sicne the last tim e we talked to warrant a change of mind.." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ewon"," He sighs. I'm afraid this will not work ou t. I am trying to keep the Grove peaceful, and the rest of the people here will not be satisfied by you two simply staying in the mines, it seems. They are grow ing nervous, fearful, perhaps. He nods. I'm not saying I agree with them, but I lead the people here based on their own interests, and the majority are disturb ed by your presence here. You will have to leave. I'm sure you understand." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","I do understand Ewon..and I'm sorry abou t all of this confusion.but we will have to prepare to leave of course.. So its. . not going to be as immediate as some may like.." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Balder","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Balder","walks out" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Balder","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Garth","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Balder"," He steps inside the smithy and walks over to Ewon, watching Berias closely. Speaking quietly he says to Ewon Have you sa id anything yet Papa?" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I've been in the mines with Miratine for t he past four days, and somehow we're causing trouble? He shakes his head. I thi nk not. And Radimir should know I am no harm on a daily basis, he lived with me for many years in Hillhaven, and in Lorelei. And my previous point still stands, if I leave I've nowhere else left to go, so if you make me, I will fight to sta y here, if not just for the sake of my sons." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ewon"," He nods slowly at Miratine. Well, do try t o get yourselves prepared soon." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ewon"," He sighs at Berias' words. Don't be unreas onable, Berias. I just want what is best for my home." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","No, Ewon. I am not being unreasonable, you 're asking me to leave when I've done nothing to you, nor to anyone here, beside s make them uneasy. He shakes his head again, then reaches up to tilt his hat ba ck. If I leave here, it will -not- be without a fight. I am content to live, al one with Miratine, in some far corner of the mines, and yet still this bothers p eople? I don't think that's my problem." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Garth","You're a coward, Berias." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","A coward, am I? he chuckles in a deep bari tone. I will not speak down to you son of Ewon, but speak not of matters you kn ow nothing of." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Audosia","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Ewon"," He shakes his head. Fighting won't be nece ssary. Berias, I don't want to have to send people out into the wilderness, but because of what's been happening lately, not leaving will only lead to more figh ting later on." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Again, if other people are so bothered by us just being off in the mines, it's not my problem. If you like, I could give t hem a hug and promise not to randomly decide I want them dead, or something equa lly stupid. He grins. " "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","Berias please. She settles a hand on his shoulder. i don't like this any more then you do.. but this is Ewon's home.." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Garth"," He shakes his head. Speak what I want in my home. He taps his mace against his iron greaves nervously as he speaks. You' re afraid to go elsewhere. Afraid to stick with something. My mother and fathe r and grandmother carved this place for us, a place of peace. What have you don e, Berias, besides fail your commitments? He points the mace out the door. Ther e's a whole world out there for you. This isn't the end of the world. Hiding b ehind violence and anger. He shakes his head. Nobody wants you here. Not like you are." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Maybe you don't understand, son of Ewon. H e frowns. I am old, and my body is failing fast. I have no time to go traveling

and find a new home." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Garth","Perhaps you should have thought of that bef ore travelling here, Berias." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Well I did not anticipate leaving Auda, an d having so many people decide it's their business." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She continues workign on the Saw glanci ng up at the crowd of people in the smithy now.A pair of worried blue eyes glanc e at al lof the face and back to Berias often. " "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Ewon"," He sighs. Berias, you are a guest in our h ome. We built it all, and let you live in it. Can't you respect that?" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","I understand your reasoning to an extent, Ewon. He turns to the older man. But I don't see how I made this trouble, I tol d Auda in private, and begged simply to live alone with Miratine in the mines. w e are not causing trouble, we are staying quiet and out of sight." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Garth","And because you're selfish, our children ha ve to fear some giant stomping through the mines? He snorts and leans back again st the wall. " "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Ewon","It isn't your fault, no. He says carefully. I'm not saying it's your fault. But it is still a problem, and I can see no oth er solution other than you leaving the Grove." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","You, nor your children have anything to fe ar. He sighs. I understand my condition makes people wary, but it takes more th en someone standing in front of me to make me angry. It has surfaced about four times in the time I've lived, and never more than once in a year. The only time I would attack someone when in my right mind would be either to defend myself or loved ones." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","What if I where to solve the problem, Ewon ? He asks, regarding the man carefully. It seems the only unrest comes from Rad imir and Auda so far." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","walks inside" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","Everything okay in here?" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Ewon"," He pauses, watching Berias closely. I don' t see how you could." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","I could talk. He says flatly. I know what I did to Auda was unjust, but is it not better to end an unjust deed, rather th an drag it out?" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Ewon","If you think you can solve it that way... th en fine. But no matter what, you must respect the wishes of the people living he re, the people who made this place." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","I've stated my stance on leaving, and it w on't change." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She chews on her bottom lip at Berias's statement Looking to Ewon then back her brother. Berias.. you can't force them to make us stay.." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," OOC: I think my brain is frazzeled by h eat meant to say Let not make. " "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","I cannot force them, but I can make them t hink twice about forcing me. He sighs. I would not incite violence, but I would defend myself." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Ewon"," He seems frustrated. Very well... He motio ns for his sons, and Auda, to follow him. Come. We are going to the east tunnel right in the mines." "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Ewon","walks out" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Balder","walks out" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," OOC: Awkward timing, but I really have to leave.)) " "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Radimir","walks out" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Garth"," He pauses before leaving. Berias... we do not want to fight you, but if you persist, it might come to that. And even if you killed us all... there would still be no place for you here. You would be j

ust as unwanted as you are now. He shakes his head. Miratine, if you cannot con vince him, perhaps just you should go, then. Maybe he would follow. He follows his family out. " "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Garth","walks out" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","walks out" "Elen, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Audosia","walks out" "Elen, 104 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","walks inside" "Gurtha, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Tibalt Radson Peacekeeper","walks inside" "Gurtha, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Tibalt Radson Peacekeeper","walks out" "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She paces idly taking a break from the saw. Why is everything.. like this..? Why can't we just leave I'll ask my c hild if he wants to come.. All of this is giving me a head ache. She breathes t ryign to relax.*" "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Calm down, Miratine. He says quietly. We will not be forced from here." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She walks over embracing him giving a few sighs. I'm trying my best this.. is all so confusing.." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He wraps his arms around her, holding her protectively against his chest. We will be fine." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","I know.. I know we will. She replies quietly her tense frame relaxing some. " "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Right now we should just worry over fin ishing the saw, so we can get back to work in the mines. He says gently, running a hand through her hair. " "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Its almost done.. She states giving a hum of contentment. I'm not leaving unless you leave.. I'm not going to leave you behind.. i don't know why they woudl suggest such a thing.*" "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","They just don't understand, and I'll tr y to help them. He says flatly, clicking his teeth in thought. Maybe if they re alize we're not bad people, they'll decide to leave us alone." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","i don't know they seemed to have conv inced themselves that we are Bad Kindred. Nothing has changed really besides.. m e being with you now. i don't think they liked me being here even before all of this happened.. Its almost like being in Mama's forest again." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","I'm sure that's now what their issue is . He speaks in a somewhat distracted tone. I'll sort it out." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She sighs. I don't want to fight th em the rest of my life berias.. if you can't talk with reason can we leave just a space away even.. We wouldn't be far.. Not too far for our children to find us .." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","I will not give Auda the satisfaction o f bastardizing me in front of my sons. He rolls his jaw. They are MY sons as m uch as hers." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","We shoudl speak with your sons.. As l ogn as they remain here we should be able to stay here.. this is where I birthed my own son.. my children lie buried in itsearth.." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","I would speak with my sons if they woul d speak back. He sighs. They are always sleeping." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She leans on her tiptoes and tries t o lay a kiss on his lips. " "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He willingly returns the kiss, keeping his arms around her. We will be fine, Miratine." "Gurtha, 104 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine","Yes we will. She gives a light half s mile. " "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","When we're done here, let's go back t o work on the shack. I'll deal with Auda and Radimir when I feel like it." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Alright Berias. She replies harpeni ng the notches with care on the saw blade. I don't they are going to like it.. Most of this coudl have been avoided.. if I had just went home.. and forgotten a bout everything.. We're getting too old to fight loosing battles."

"Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","We may lose with words Miratine, but it would take both of his fully armored sons to bring me from that mine. He frow ns, shaking his head a little. Auda and Radimir are only making things harder f or everyone." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","I don't want you to get hurt.. Have n't we fought enough... Are they even worth our energy Berias.." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 2","Berias","I will not lie down and simply accept our damned fate, Miratine. He sys with a frown. " "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine","but are we damned berias or are the y.. She lays a hand on his arm. Stayign here isn't goign to change anything. Do you want your children seeing you as a beast that Auda has been spreading arou nd. What good is it to fight now.. i know you are stubborn btu thiis not our hom e. If this were hill haven.. i would understand.." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias","Where have we left to go, then? Even if I where to go to Melians forest, she would not have me there, and they freque nt Lorelei enough where I would not be allowed there, either." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine","We don't need to go that far. She c huckles. We have enough wood for a homw. We can settle down in a comfortable pa rt of the forest. Perhaps with a river Ewon would allow us to prepare our selves for a home. Do you want our children to live in constant fear and for these... delusional Kindred to frown upon them. She shakes her head. Do we need any one else.. right now. I would suggest to go back to Hillhaven but Speck would not ha ve me there.. And if I went to Lorelei.. Sal would only cause more problems." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He chuckles and shakes his head. I wouldn't doubt Speck being dead by now. He fell ill with the sleeping sickness b efore we left." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine","Hmm perhaps.. If you want to return to your home town we may. .I can put up with Speck.. if he is still alive. Can we go home.. To your home.. To mine you've carved out and the homes you've built . i don't liek feelign indebted to peopel that care so little for us." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias","The -only- reason I am reluctant to d o so is becuase of how long it would take to make enough children... He sighs. I do not have many years ahead of me Miratine, you know this." "Lasse, 104 - Before dawn, hr 3","Miratine","The lets just make a home nearby.. Why live yuor last years with so much stress?" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","Iron Saw has been constructed" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","If we left, it'd have to be back to Hillh aven. He scratches at his face. There are homes there, and my things." "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Either way, let's discuss this further in the mines. He moves away from her, towards the door. " "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks out of the Wood Shack" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","walks out of the Wood Shack" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks out of the City Entrance" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks inside" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks to the northeast" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks to the north" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks to the southeast" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks to the northeast" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","walks to the northwest" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Prepared Apples has been constructed" "Lasse, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","walks in from the southeast" "Vasa, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Prepared Apples has been constructed" "Vasa, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Feather Bedding has been constructed" "Vasa, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias","So, should we just leave? He asks flatly, tapping his foot. I'm not sure of the way back to Hillhaven." "Vasa, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","I know the way. Don't worry.And if you don't want to travel that far we can settle some place else." "Vasa, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Berias"," He shakes his head, sighing. Hillhaven is ready for us, no other place is." "Vasa, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine","Alright then. She starts rummaging trho

ug hher thigns. I won't be needing half of these things then." "Vasa, 104 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She pulls out a comfrey bouquet her ey es holding a pained emotion.

Shall we get on our way then?" "Ringwe, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She smiles warmly at her son. Thats very nice of you to do that Tibalt. You'll be big and strong in no time. She ru bs her child's back in soothign motions. You know that I'll miss you and think about you all the time right. I know this is hard for you Tibalt. You have to tr y to be happy spend lots of time with your papa and playing with Balders little girl and Lilla came home she can play with you too maybe.*" "Ringwe, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Soon Berias.. I just need to finish so mething for my little Tibalt." "Ringwe, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He nods, then walks over to his son Hib a and places a peice of parchment in his hand. Hiba, if you ever want to come b ack to your papa, this will tell you how. I've no time left to teach you to read , so you can ask Radimir or your mama Auda." "Ringwe, 104 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She rolls up the scroll neatly and ha nds it to her son. This will tell you how to find us if you ever want to visit. Okay.

She looks at the cloak debating. " "Elen, 106 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","I'm just afraid I may decide one day tha t we're going to mate, and ther isn't anything you can do about it. He chuckles. Like I said, children out here would be unwise." "Elen, 106 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","you don't think I know this silly. It is uncomfortable birthing in the heat. She grimaces. I wouldn't want to repeat that again..." "Elen, 106 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Then we can have all the time we want in Hillhaven. He smiles, rolling his shoulders.

"Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Well it's your decision, like I said, I don't really know how too. He nods, straightening his hair out in a long rope. " "Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," Well the best way is to sort of dun k your head under and work your fingers trhough it near your head. She demonstr ates with her own fingers. It helps with getting the dirt and blood out of it.. or leaves.. She looks around.*But there are some flowers that help with cleanin g.." "Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","They don't really have a scent.." "Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Sounds easy enough. He says quickly, b efore dunking his head under the water and doing as she instructed, running a ti

ght grip through his hair to stain the water with a large amount of dry blood, a nd dirt. " "Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","You just keep doing that until you t hink it feels clean enough.Soap makes it easier as its makes little orbs and sud s. It cleans the dirt off easily.*" "Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He resurfaces from the water, the pla ces where he ran through his hair now a smooth shining black, he pauses to catch his breath before dunking his head abck in the water, repeating the process. " "Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," Finally finished he pulls his head fr om the water to shake his hair off, causing it to stick out at odd angles from h is head. Is that better?" "Ringwe, 106 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She giggles behind her hand. It lo oks clean but kinda of silly.. She blushes. Cute even." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Cute. He frowns for a moment, before tu rning down to look at his reflection. His pale face quickly glows a dim red as h e runs a hand along his hair to straighten it out. I think I liked it better be fore... He mumbles. " "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She giggles. I have comb.. Let me f ix it for you. My hair can sometimes get a little funny too. She beckons him ove r to her. I never thought I would see you blush.." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Don't get used to it... He grumbles, wa ding through the water over to her. " "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She makes as if to say something the n just giggles. Is it because I said you were cute? Her smile widening.

"Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He mumble something unintellagible und er his breath, face going a deep crimson to contrast with his otherwise pale bod y.

Am I hurti gn you're feelings? i don't want to make you feel comfortable. She asks sincerel y. " "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","No... He grumbles, avoiding eye contact . I just don't exactly get around on being\"cute\"..." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Well they don't know you like I do sh e winks. well I think you're cute and you can't change my mind. She sticks her tongue out at him. " "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He continues to stare past her, intent ly focussing on the water. I'm not so used to cute..More of scary, big and stro ng, or even violent. But not cute." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She pokes his chest. So who cares w hat they think.. Do you care what I think..?" "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Of course I do. He says with a sudden s mile, and renewed warmth in his voice. I don't really know just what you think of me, but I imagine it's a lot of bad, with less good.." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She chuckles. Berias.. I've always told you I will never judge you.. Truthfully I think you think you have to be a certain way when people say things about you.. You just hav e to be you with me. . theres not one to impress for I'm already yours." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","We both did things that we thougth we had to do.. though to outsiders it may seem odd or ridiculous.. I'm fine with you're past all of it.." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","I guess I'm past it. He sighs, wrapping his arms around her for warmth. Others choose to dwell though, such as Dinova, or Salatius.." "Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She snuggles into him. There are so me unwillign to forgive.. and some are unwilling to get past their obstacles.. i admit somethigns effect me.. as i am not exactly the best at getting past some of my own issues.."

"Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","I know MIratine, that's one of the reas ons you have me. He turns down to kiss the top of her head, smiling.

"Ringwe, 106 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She smiles gently. Thats all I've e ver wanted.. She shivers in the lake her skin prickling with goose bumps. We co uld go warm up in the tent..

"Naur, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","walks in from a distant land" "Naur, 107 - Evening, hr 11","Miratine"," She stumbles into the city her cheeks flushed and her body sweaty.The red head doesn't get too far before sinking to h er knees her chest heaving as she breathes heavily. her blue eyes seem a bit gla zed over and she rubs at them to make out the people near the city. " "Naur, 107 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," She coughs setting Berias's armor besi de him. Is that Speck and Esta..? She wobbles. How did it get so hot all of a sudden?" "Naur, 107 - Evening, hr 12","Miratine"," She wipes at her brow lookign over at the yougner children that she had never seen. Speck and Esta must have had more children... Shewaves over at the kids nearly falling over as her vision swims. " "Naur, 107 - Evening, hr 12","Zoltan"," He curiously look over the the man and t he woman that arrived, blinking shyly under his voluminous bangs and cools himse lf down a bit, as the stranger people are talking to his dad. He frowns a bit as he watches the woman and stares over to her withous saying a word. Slowly he tr ies to hide the quarterstaff behind his back as he'd been caught in the act doin g something wrong. " "Elen, 107 - Midnight, hr 1","Zoltan"," He slowly waves back to the woman, nearl y staring her in the ground. ..You okay? he asks with a low voice and somehow h

e seems to be afraid. You no sleep!" "Elen, 107 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She blinks back the urge as the child calls out not sleep. It's far too hot for yelling she half whines laying down a gainst the forest floor.*I just need to sleep.." "Elen, 107 - Midnight, hr 1","Zoltan","N-no sleep! he shouts with a despaired to ne in his voice and rushes over to her. No sleep, okay? No good, you dead if sl eep! he shakes his head and looks back to his dad, unsure what he should do. I no want be dead more people!" "Elen, 107 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She half opens her eyes as the child i s now hovering over her. I won't die I promise.. She murmurs thoug hthrough her fevered midn the realization takes longer to hit. Who else has died little one ?" "Elen, 107 - Before dawn, hr 2","Zoltan"," He looks serious and points at the th ree long piles of rocks which seem to be freshly made. Is mama from papa. and m ama from mama from papa. an' some man I no know. They sleep an' be dead! An' big broh dead from sleep! He looks really worried and beseeching Them say\"I okay\" an' they dead now!" "Elen, 107 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She looks over at the graves worrie dly,trying to sit up as best as she can. Shhh Its okay. .I'm not goign to die.. I'm Miratine. Are you Speck and Estel's son. She gestures over at the other two adults. If so I'm you're aunt. She smiles tiredly. " "Elen, 107 - Before dawn, hr 2","Zoltan","Mira-tine.. he repeats slowly, staring at her again and it seems he's very busy thinking. His scared expression fades and lets another take place: confusion. You aunt? Mira-tine.. I hears name ago he mumbles and frowns deeply, trying to remember the words flying around this na me in his head. Mira-tine.. he repeats once more and watches the woman with the bright red hair falls asleep. " "Elen, 107 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias","MIra! He calls out, moving from Speck over to her to help her up. Why not cool off in the city, or the mines? I knew I shouldn't have let you carry my armor.." "Elen, 107 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias"," He sighs and plucks the armor up from near her, slipping it on over his clothes and re-approaching Speck as he closes the clasps. So, I'm sure you've been well then? Less sleeping?" "Elen, 107 - Before dawn, hr 3","Cathal Adri"," He tilts his head to the side, r egarding the younger man I have been attempting to sleep less. I just promised Zoltan I would try harder at that. then, abruptly, he turns to face the red-hair ed woman, keeping his voice strangely level as he speaks Miratine. Your daughte r was here looking for you some time ago." "Elen, 107 - Before dawn, hr 3","Berias","Hey. He mumbles, reaching forward and placing a hand on Specks shoulder. We've come a long way, and it has taken a to ll on Mira. Let her rest, for now." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 4","Cathal Adri"," Returning his gaze to the taller man , he shrugs off the hand So I have noticed. I was simply telling her." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","I know, I'm not scolding you or anything, friend. He smiles, though it appears somewhat forced. Just wait till she's of h er own mind to tell her." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She rolls over, her eyes opening to sta re up through the tree limbs. My daughter was here.. She states softly. " "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," An odd smile, just as forced as the other man's, plays across his face. After a moment, he responds I know, Berias. I just thought she should know. Generally people care about their children, no? " "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She slowly Sits up messing with the lea ves in her hair. Speck.. I'm sorry about the fuss.. before I left.. How is Asfe ranata?" "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Well it's irrelevant now, so forget it. He chuckles a little under his breath. So then, anything ntoeworthy happen in my absence?" "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," In response to Berias' question, his eyes flicker over to the newly constructed cairns. Then, he states We've had q

uite a few visitors. Rain and, I believe one of your sisters, are still here, ac tually. Though your sister does not speak much. after this, he nods slightly in the direction of the teenage girl " "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He glances towards the girl with a small frown. A sister I haven't met? Unlikely. She wouldn't be this young even, so I' m not sure..." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri","She is not a plainsman, and she arriv ed with Sal, Asferanta, and Rain. he replies offhandedly, glancing over to the g irl Regardless, I have never heard her say a single word, and have never been t old her name. It's of little importance." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Hm. HE shrugs, puasing a second to look sp eck in the eye. Salatius is here?" "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She looks over at the girl for some tim e. If she came with Morrain that is probably her daughter.. I don't know her na me but she has blonde hair like Peri.. it must be his daughter." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He shakes his head Sal is no longer here. Then, his tone grows strangely measured and even once more as he continue s As he cares about his daughter, when she ran off alone he went to make sure s he would be alright. I have not seen either of them since." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Ah, well if anything, at least he's a dece nt father. He sighs, reaching up to tilt his hat back. So who do the new burial markers belong to?" "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Cathal Adri"," He glances over to the cairns once m ore, and lets out a quiet sigh, some measure of emotion seeping back into his vo ice as he answers My mother, grandmother, and my mother's brother. They found m e shortly before falling victim to some strange...injury." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She picks up a piece of grass fiddling with it casually. Its seems my daughter takes after me too much. She shakes he r head. But that is partially my fault.." "Elen, 107 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","I promised to cook you something though didn't I? She pushes a few red waves back from her face with her hand. Are you hungry Berias?" "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","HE smiles faintly at Miratine, and nods. I' ll be there in a minute.. He turns back to Speck frowning now.*Your mother, unc le and grandmother? Speck..I'm sorry." "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 6","Miratine"," She nods leaning up against one of the t rees. Closing her eyes contently she gives a sigh. her stomach then gurgles its opinion which causes her to giggles quietly. " "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 6","Cathal Adri"," He gives a small shrug, and replies w ith a feined indifference Everyone must die eventually." "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 6","Berias","Speck. He sighs, rubbing awkwardly at his c heek. You need not be so coarse, it is no shame to mourn when so many of your f amily dies, especially after so many years apart.." "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," The woman stands her stomach growing mor e impatient than herself. I guess I'll get started then.." "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," has killed White-tailed Deer" "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She pulls out her bow; readying her arro w to givea sdeer a quick and painless death.One eye closes as she takes in the s ight of the deer, letting her arrow loose only once she is sure of the perfect s hot. The arrow plunges into the deer's head killing it instantly.With a fluid m otion she places her bow back in her quiver and walks over to skin the fallen pr ey. " "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","Would you like some roasted meat or are y ou not hungry right now? She asks her hand bloody from venturing inside of the d eer carcass for its innards. " "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","I'm not starved, but food would be nice. He says with a smile, making his way towards her from Speck. We didn't stop to ea t for a few days before getting here, and it's wearing on me.." "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine"," She nodswith understanding. My stomach is protesting as well. Some cooked food will do us some good. She cuts up the me

at separating the fleshy hide into a different pile as she goes. " "Elen, 107 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","i was going to teach you how to do this r ight...The secret i s cuttign the meat into similar sizes so they'll all cook fo r the same amount of time. She holds up to pieces of meat about as big as her pa lm in her bloody hands. If you make your meat around this size each time it wil l come out good I promise. she smiles. As she stands gathering the meat chunks a nd heading over to the oven. " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine","Roasted Meat has been constructed" "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He watches intently, taking in all of h er words with quiet nods as he observes. " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She gestures him over toward the oven . i don't know how well you'll be able to see Bout you can either put the meet on sticks.. or you can place it right in the oven to cook. She nods doing one of each. They should both cook at the same time." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","How do you know it won't get all black a nd hard though? He asks, appraoching the oven and peering in through the heat. " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She chuckles. You have to put it in for the right amount of time. You can tell when the meat is brow nand the juices are clear.. though some like their meat on them ore bloody side. She pulls out the meat o na stick handing it to her brother. She haow it isn't hard and its c oloring isn't too dark." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He takes the pice of meat and looks it over for a few seconds, before tearing a large chunk off. His jaw hangs open and he begins to exhale hastily, making small souns not unlike an annoyed child. I t's a lot hotter than just plain old meat.." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Roasted Meat has been constructed" "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She chuckles. Perhaps I should have warned you.I'm sorry Beri. She kisses the side of his cheek. But was it good ot herwise?" "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Hmm. He continues to chew for a moment, before swallowing his bite and smiling. Pretty good. You said you can have more blood in it though?" "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She nods. You just don't cook it for quite as long, its remains more pink on the inside . It takes some practice.. b ut its easy to smell once its ready. She pulls out the meat juggling it in her p alms before blowing on it " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","More blood would be nice, this tastes a bit. He licks the inside of his mouth, before smiling. A little dry, I guess.." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","i'll keep that in midn for the next ti me I cook for you. People have different preferences. she smiles eating the othe r piece slowly as not to upset her clenching stomach. " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Well all that aside, it's much nicer tha n just raw meat. He smiles, wiping some food from his mouth with the back of his hand. No bugs in it, either." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," she chuckles. No bugs. She shakes he r head and looks toward the city then at her brother. " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Something troubling you? He asks offhand edly, glancing towards the city as well. " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She nods. Yes somethings are.. I th ink I want to see what everything looks like now.." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Lets have a look then, shall we? He stan ds and takes her hand, then walks off with her to teh city.

"Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She ponders for a few moments. Lets go see if Speck added anything.. around his home." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She pulls away with a lightly mischi evous grin before walking to the north. " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He follows her with a curious expressio n on his face. Specks house?" "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine"," She looks around noticing that nothin g has really changed. Seems like they haven't changed much.. just beginning to expand the city.." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Well this was the place I was last.. b efore I left.. I just wanted to see if everything was the same." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","Spirits! He exclaims oudly, looking down and spotting the slew of creatures inhabitting the city. He's let things go to ruins!" "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Good thing we're here then. She sighs. Thise there. She points at the goo moving about. They are alright if a few ar e about.. but not with small children.." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","These things are filthy, I'll have to re member to crab a box and kill them all later.. He sighs and reaches up to rub at his temples. I knew Speck was engligent, but THIS..." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Perhaps we should have come here last. .? She asks leaning up against him. Perhaps things won't be so bad else where? " "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias","No, no. He says with a quiet sigh, turni ng to smile at her. Just have a bit of cleaning up to do, that's all." "Elen, 107 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Well i guess we better check out you'r e home next and see if things are as bad. Shw looks up at him pressign her cheek against his chest.

" "Elen, 107 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She looks at her brother and then at the home. Auda has the keys doesn't she. she sighs shaking her head. " "Elen, 107 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","One key, and yes. He sighs, stepping on t o the porch of the hosue and plating a solid kick in the middle of the door, cau sing the front of the house to shiver a little, but otherwise having to affect. Well, that didn't help.." "Elen, 107 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She frowns but then giggles as the hou se doesn't budge. It doesn't surprise me as this house was built for you. Of co urse its not going to come apart easily" "Elen, 107 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Hmmm. His lips curl in thought, before he shrugs and step down from porch, reassuming a stance near his sister. I suppos e I can work on it later, nothing a good axing won't fix." "Elen, 107 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She nods. We can stay in the mines.. for now.. She shudders a little. " "Elen, 107 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Are you sure you're okay with mines, Mira tine? He asks cautiously, frowning just a little. " "Elen, 107 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","i'll be alright as long as you're with me.. I know its not easy for you inside of tents.. and with no way to get inside . .It will ahve to do.."

"Naur, 108 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," HE laughs a little, before stepping bac k a bit. I've been toying with an idea in my head.

Good try Syndir. She looks up as her nephew enters. Sorry to worry you Zaltan. . as you see I have my hands full. And babies.. come from girls She looks over a t Berias trying to find the best way to put it and sighs as she she sees him sle eping Well A mama and papa make a baby.. and then a mama has that baby. She ki sses the top of Syndir's head. And that how you came to be.. made out of love. She grins. This little one is Syndir RAgesteel, his twin brothers are in the cr ib over there the other red head is Ember." "Naur, 108 - Evening, hr 11","Syndir Ragesteel","He crinkles his nose upwards as he smiles at her mother.

Be big very fast, ok ay?" "Elen, 108 - Midnight, hr 1","Syndir Ragesteel","He blushes red as the older boy approaches and curls his head in on his mother's shoulder as he looks away in t he opposite direction for a moment.

But then he lowers his hands and peers with one eye over his fingers. Hoo, where are you.. ? There are you!" "Elen, 108 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She chuckles. Maybe she will, Zoltan I don't know my daughter as well as I used to. She kisses the top of Syndirs hea d smiling as he plays with his cousin. Oh he found you oh no! She makes a raspb erry noise. Say no fair!" "Elen, 108 - Midnight, hr 1","Syndir Ragesteel","He bursts his hands away from h is face in a fit of giggles at the older boy's words and quickly covers his face again making a smacking sound against his cheeks." "Elen, 108 - Midnight, hr 1","Zoltan","..No fair! He answers and giggles cheeky at her aunt, winking and trying not to laugh. Ah, little ones is fun, I hopes I get also.

As the little boy is pointing at him, his expressions become very warm and loving, somehow a b it sad, too. He points back at the boy, winking with an eye and then slowly tips on the little baby-nose with a surprised 'Theeere!'. After making a funny grima ce at the little worm, he glances from his aunt to Berias and back, blinking a f ew times. Mama says she will come back if I make a pretty home. I know Asferant a likes other boy, but.. He lowers his already quietly voice. ..I not care. He can lives here, too. I just wants Asferanta and Salatius come back here. I miss thems much. He adds and you easily can tell he misses both f them very sadly. Hi s eyes meet Berias' once more and he fast looks away, frowning and uneasy. " "Gurtha, 108 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Salatius coming back while me and MIrat ine are together... He mumbles, scratching at his face. That would probably not end well, child."

I hope so, they'll be big and strong like their papa." "Gurtha, 108 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Or beautiful, and clever. Like their m ama. He chuckles, draping his arm across her shoulders. Either way, they'll be good boys." "Gurtha, 108 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She gives him a sly grin grin. We should probably try for girls? She leans into his hold.

Here you are little one." "Vasa, 108 - Afternoon, hr 8","Syndir Ragesteel","He furrows his brow as he star es at the food with a frown.

" "Lote, 110 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He glances towards the crib with a smil e, before hissing through his teeth a little as the wet hide contacts his chest. I don't wanna rest though, it's boring and I don't get to look at you..." "Lote, 110 - Afternoon, hr 9","Miratine","Oh.. You don't have to sleep just sit down atl least on the bed. Its makes it easier for me to treat all of these. Pl us she kisses a spot that isn't burned gently.*I'll be right with you." "Lote, 110 - Afternoon, hr 9","Berias"," He sighs, letting her go and stepping b

ack towards a chair. If you say so... He leans back and plops in the chair, cau sing the old wood to groan. " "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She pulls the hide away and moves the amphora on to the table beside him.Climbing up into his lap she gives a smile as he's now sitting down. " "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He places hand on each of her hips, smil ing. So, what do we dowe these.. He glances down at his chest. Spots that are missing skin.." "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","i'll have to ry to make some bandages a nd find some sort of salve.. that should help it heal over. she dunks the hide i nto amphora gently cleanding his wound and laying the hide against the skin to h elp cool it. " "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He sighs a little, frowning now. These are going to leave some nasty scars....you don't mind a few scars, do you?" "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine","Beri She pulls back her hair from her n eck showing the large bite on her neck the scar tissue is bubble and the skin is sunken in where the teeth had entered. We all have scars its just a way to t ell our story.. each one marks an important moment in our life. I don't mind sca rs.. As long as your living I don't mind at all." "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Berias"," He reaches up, running a gnetle hand ove r the marks on her neck. I think scars add a certain beauty, everything being p erfect would just be boring.." "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She smirks. Oh.. you don't mind me be ign scared but you seemed nervous about cuttign a piece of my hair off. she chuc kles. " "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Well that's something different.. He frow ns a little, running the hand through her hair now. " "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She shakes her head. You know.. that doesn't cause pain and it grows back.*I just think you're being silly." "Lote, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","It'd just be a waste. He says, smiling no w. Of such beautiful hair. I've never seen any quite like it, you know." "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","Oh just look at your sons. She giggles Don't worry nothings going to happen" "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I suppose you could cut it if you -really - want to.... He continues to run his hand through her hair, smiling. I'll warn you though, I won't like it..." "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","Oh.. she chuckles and kisses him on the cheek. You know I'm sitting on it right now?" "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","I know. He returns a breif kiss to her li ps, still smiling. Am I not allowed to find your hair attractive?" "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine"," She responds with a giggle and stands up, pulling her hair over her shoulder so as to not sit on it. I'll only cut it if you let me. but it gives me such a head ache. She chuckles. " "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias"," He scratches at his burn for a moment, b efore returning his attention to her. Why not tie it up, or braid it like mine used to be?" "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Miratine","Braid it? I barely know how to braid. S he blushes. Plus.. .. it reminds me of some things.. but I guess I could try.." "Urnu, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Berias","Well I can't braid very good...but a long long time ago, Mor showed me how. He smiles, reclining a little further in the chair. I suppose I could try to braid it for you." "Urnu, 110 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine","Bella taught me how to braid a very long time ago... I'm sure i can figure it out..Plus you need to be resting" "Urnu, 110 - Before dawn, hr 2","Miratine"," She shifts in his lap to dunks the hide into the water And presses it against the burn he had itched on his neck. " "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He lets out a releived sigh as the itchin g subsides, leaning in to her a little. Really? Maybe you could braid mine agai n?" "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","I'll try my best. She grins. running a f

ew fingers though his hair. " "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Mine isn't as....managable, as yours. It s ticks out in some places like a wolfs coat. He says with a grin, running his fin gers through a few stray knots near his ear. " "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","Mine isn't really manageable either Beri she giggles. Plus I think its cute like that and wolfs have really soft fur." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","There you go with cute again! He shakes hi hair out, causing it to spread in a wide flair around his head. Where do you k eep getting\"cute\" when you look at me? He asks, still grinning while sneaking a glance down her back. Cute is a word more fit for you." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She laughs as the hair tickles her palm s. Well you aren't me so you don't see how I see you. she sticks out her tongue . Oh now how am I cute? She raises a brow. " "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Yes, you're adorable. He plants a kiss on her forehead, still grinning. But I can name a few specific parts of you I find \"Cute\".." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She makes a face at him as if he's craz y. I've never been called cute myself.. or adorable." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Well you aren't just beautiful. He says, s cratching at his burn again. You where always a cute baby, and for your younger years as well. Very clumsy though, but then again I still find that cute." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She blushes pulling her hand away from the burn and shakes her head. Stop itching that.... She rolls her eyes dipping the cloth back into the water and presses the coll liquid against his skin. I'm goig nto have to change this soon. She looks at the murky water and frowns. " "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," His hand twitches idly at his side as he resists the urge to itch. I can't help it, whenever I'm not thinking about it I itch it..." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","i'll bind your hands if i have to to the chair beri. She replies meetign his eyes with a slightly scolding stare. If yo u keep digging at that its going to bleed and fester." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He sighs, ahdn still flexing a little eve ry now and then. Well I certainly hope it doesn't come to that, I'll try to ref rain..." "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She shifts in his lap to straddle him a nd concentrates on cooling the itchy burn on his neck. " "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias"," He relaxes and lets his hands hang at his sides, choosing to remain silent and enjoy the presence of his mate on his lap, and the cool hide on his burns. " "Urnu, 110 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine"," She leans in to kiss his lips still hol ding the cool hide cloth to the burn.She gives a half smile as he appears to rel ax. *" "Urnu, 110 - Midday, hr 6","Berias"," He drapes his arms over her hips, smiling warmly.

I Shou ld gather more medicine.. for you and speck both..." "Urnu, 110 - Midday, hr 7","Berias","Speck seemed fine, Stella treated his wound s very nicely. He says with a smile, craning his neck to plant a breif kisson he r neck. They seemed to have medicine already stored." "Urnu, 110 - Midday, hr 7","Miratine","i should still gather up things for when this little ones are older.. I don't want to be unprepared.." "Urnu, 110 - Evening, hr 11","Hiba"," His excited grin returns as he wiggles out of his old leather armor and into the steel. As soon as the new armor is proper ly equipped, he leaps through the air, his knees touching his chest before he la nds in front of his father. He moves as if to embrace him, but stops short as hi s eyes fall upon the terrible burns. He tilts his head at a seemingly awkward an gle. Berias!" "Naur, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","Hiba..

"Naur, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She nears the crib and looks down over the dge. A stray pie of red hair tumbles over her shoulder while she does so. " "Naur, 110 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He opens his eyes slowly, letting out a deep yawn as he sits up in the chair, looking around with a confused expression for a moment. Mira..did I fall asleep?" "Naur, 110 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She turns looking over at Berias from her position by the crib. I think you were a bit to comfortable but you neede d the rest." "Naur, 110 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias"," He yawns and stretches his arms out, je rking one back suddenly and hissing through his teeth as it splits a blister. O h now that's just cruel..."

I'm alright, water does n't hurt me.And your supposed to be sitting down.*" "Naur, 110 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Well I won't be sitting down while your toes freeze off! He says in an almost scolding manner, rubbing his hands up and down her arms to produce heat. Come one, if I'm sitting down you're sitting dow n with me." "Naur, 110 - Afternoon, hr 8","Miratine"," She chuckles. Well sitting with you being so burn and me nearly chilled has its advantages.*" "Naur, 110 - Afternoon, hr 8","Berias","Well come on. He says, guiding her over to a chair and sitting down it, sitting her dodn on his lap and keeping his arms around her. You're frezzing, are you sure you're alright?" "Naur, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Miratine"," She nods. I'll be fine. I was born in the snow I think I'll be fine. She sets the jug on the table and dunks the hide into the chilled water her finger are red from the cold water. This should fee l nice on your burns.*" "Naur, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","How about we just take a second to warm y ou up? You're about as cold as that water.

"Naur, 110 - Evening, hr 10","Berias","Nonsense, your hands are blue!. He says w ith a bit of worry, still holding her hands. Just remain still untill you're wa rm." "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She shakes her head. The water has to be cold now let me do this alright. You're the one covered in burns." "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias","Miratine, I won't have your ahnd freezing off simply becuase I'm itchy. He says in a commanding tone now, an unnusual amou nt of authority in his abritone voice. Now remain still. You can dabble over my wounds later." "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," Her blue eyes brighten and pierce at h er mate at his tone. My hand is fine. She moves her stiff fingers and tries to pull herself out of his lap. " "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He sighs and allows her to stand, letting

go of her hand. If this is how you want it to be, very well. I won't be stitch ing your hand back to your wrist when it falls off though." "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine"," She shakes her head and dipt her hand i nto the jug along with the hide and sticks it against his open blisters. Now st op worrying about me and get better yourself. you scold me all you want later." "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Berias"," He winces a little as the hide contacts t he open blister, ice cold water seeping under the puffed out skin. Trust me, I will." "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 4","Miratine","I know this doesn't feel the best but we have to keep those from popping... She turns her head away again sneezing ove r her shoulder.*" "Elen, 110 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","I know, I know.. He sighs, frowning. I wi sh you'd just warm up, my wounds aren't going to get any worse just becuase you aren't dousing them in cold water..." "Elen, 110 - Evening, hr 12","Syndir Ragesteel"," He stirs about in the crib, to ying idly with the blocks in front of him, stacking them in various structures t hough never seeming quite satisfied as he topples them over and over again.

" "Lasse, 110 - Midnight, hr 1","Hiba"," Having finished shaping the metal and all owing it to cool, he moves to Berias' side and inspects his left arm, his face b ut a few inches from the wrist. He smiles, seemingly satisfied, and immediately begins to work at strapping his newly forged buckler to his forearm in the same manner as his father. " "Lasse, 110 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","It only serves to replace one pain with a nother. He says with a shrug. Though I suppose cold water feels better than spl it skin.*He glances sideways at Hiba, grinning to himself." "Lasse, 110 - Sunrise, hr 5","Miratine","Oh well you're not going to be in pain on my watch Berias.. she sighs her cheeks taking on a rosier hue. " "Lasse, 110 - Sunrise, hr 5","Berias","Well..
