Desdemona

She quietly entered the land. She gazed around her searching for Zev to make sure that he had gotten home all right for he had seemed out of sorts when she had last seen him. She let out a soft howl calling to him keeping a wary eye out for angry alphas. She couldnt blame them if they got angry at her for tresspassing on their land.

Zev

White male came trotting quickly to her call, tail waving and eyes dancing. Desdemona had helped him when he saw no hope before him. A quick nuzzle of a friend was given before he drew back, the once haunted eyes now clear and firm. Hello! I'd not expected to see you again. Welcome, friend.

Desdemona

She smiled faintly "Hello...I...I just wanted to make sure you were alright you were a bit out of sorts when I last saw you." She smiled at him warmly happy to see that he was alright. The grey female gazed around her and said softly "This place is beautiful." She turned back to him with a smile for that was her demeanor. Little did she know that at this very moment Luna was on her way to the fight at the eskers.

Zev*Kianga

Zev smiled quietly, nodding. Yes that is true. I was... out of sorts. All things are well now, or well as they may be. Elena and I will recover in any case. And his eyes grew with joy as a familiar figure came bounding toward him.

Hello Papa! The silver rings flashed around the yearling's eyes, giving her a permanently joyful demeanor. I have excellent news! But she paused when she spied Desdemona. Oh, hello... I am Kianga. This is my papa. Do you know him? She had a very bright personality, and always had. Her tongue hung out from the run here, so much pink ribbon, as she smiled at the fae.

Elena*Kekochoi

The silver fae trotted to her mate with hidden grace and ease. She nuzzled Zev then smiled to Desdemona. "Hello. Who might you be?" Her voice was gentle and kind her bright blue eyes losing the haunted look that they had held for so long. She smiled warmly at Desdemona and said "I am Elena, Zevs mate." She waited for the fae to speak as she watched her daughter. Softly in Kiangas ear she said "Nobody is meant to be that happy" But she said it with a smile for her daughters infectious personality was starting to rub off on her.

Kekochoi, the alphas daughter, trotted to the group from the prairie. She watched them from a distance but didnt get any closer for the little black fae had much to think about. Word had gotten to her that Tupit was dead. She hadnt known Tupit very well but one of her friends had. She watched the family through mismatched eyes then trotted away heading to check on her parents.

Zev*Kianga

Zev smiled softly at Elena, the nuzzle returned as he spoke. She is... And he paused, realizing suddenly he didn't know what her name was. Uh... a friend of mine who has been very helpful to me. Whose name... I can't remember for the life of me. He finished sheepishly.

Kianga bounced to her mother's side, keeping up the act for Elena's benefit. At the whispered comment, she only whispered back, How can you not be happy with such a blue sky, such a warm sun, such a fine life?

Elena

She smiled and laughed then turned back to Desdemona her bright blue eyes watching the fae. Her smile was gentle her voice soft and kind. "Well it is a pleasure to meet you anyway even though my mate is so forgetful" She chuckled and leaned against Zev patiently waiting for the grey female to reveal her name.

Azul

the hunter took his mate's word to heart and when a strange scent entered his nares he rose with some effort given his state which he would have to work on with the war coming. Nuzzling Moon Spirit he asked her

|Shall we see whom is here?|

Desdemona

The grey fae smiled at them all and said softly "I am Desdemona. Many call me Mona." She preferred her full name for without it she was not unique but many had a hard time remebering. She heard a howl and her ears pricked. It was Luna her sister. Desdemonas eyes scrunched in confusion for her sister was in a fight at the eskers. Many others were there. That could mean only one thing. The war had started. She turned to Zev and said in a hurried voice "My friend I must fly may the winds be with you." She was odd yes but her sister was in trouble. Nothing was stronger then a sisters love. She raced out of the pack lands and to the eskers.

Zev*Kianga

Zev watched in confusion as Desdemona left, and made an effort to fix her name in his head. Such a flighty friend I have.

Sighing, he leaned back against Elena, inhaling her scent as though it were both food and drink to him. His thin frame weighed almost nothing against hers, but his mind at least was healed, his mate's very prescence a balm. His voice was hushed as he spoke. These many nights and days I journeyed, I missed you more than life, Elena. Missed being near you... missed knowing you were never far from me. I love you, Elena.

Kianga smiled softly, knowing now that her parents would be well. Turning about, she sought Keko, ready to make her way to begin on their quest.

Kekochoi*Elena

She smiled at Zev and sighed against him closing her eyes listening to the whisper of the wind in the trees her mates words floating to her like a poets. "I love you to Zev. Dont ever leave me." The grey female was used to so many leaving her and she didnt want that. No never that. If Zev left to then she would only have her pups to live for and even that would not be enough. She watched Desdemona run away and she said softly "Maybe there is a reason she ran." She to had heard the howl but hadnt heard the actual words to it.

Kekochoi however had understood what it said. The fight was at the eskers. Abamacho and Soleda would be there. She raced to Kianga and said softly "Lets go." She took off once more after giving a nuzzle to her mother and father and then she was gone.

Moon Spirit looked surprised at her daughters sudden disappearence but she stood and moved to Elena and Zev. She lay upon the ground watching everyone so closely. Her pack was small but she didnt mind. They would survive through this.

Zev*Kianga

Kianga nodded, racing to her folks and giving each a quick nuzzle. I must go... but I WILL COME BACK. I promise. And she dashed out after Keko.

Zev watched his daughter go, stunned and now worried. What were those girls up to now?

Azul

the hunter rose quicly as his daughter darted off before could protest his keen ears had heard the call to War weak as he was he knew he should go to protect his daughter and He moved to Zev and the others.

|WE must bring them back. That was a call to War. it has started and they are heading into it|

Miglisi

The small lynx sauntered out into the open and she said softly "They have found what they were looking for." She gave no other words just those. The wise eagle had spoken her wwords of wisdom. The girls had found their siblings and either they would kill one another, or they would bring one another back home.

Zev

Zev's eyes widened in horror, turning to Azul. They'll be cut each other to ribbons... He felt a little faint for a moment, and closed his eyes, fighting the need to reject the meager meal he'd consumed. They remained closed as he whispered Kianga... Once his stomach stopped protesting, he opened his eyes, staring almost unseeing at Azul. We MUST DO SOMETHING!

Moon Spirit*Elena

The small female stood next to her mate. Kianga and Kekochoi would be killed. The small frey female thought little and acted. She tore away from them all heading towards the eskers. She pushed herself hard, adrenaline pouring into her. But it wouldnt last long for Elena was still weak and could do little but she would try.

Moon Spirit saw Elena leave and quickly she dashed after her the alphess's long legs carrying her far but not fast enough to catch up to the grey fae. "ELENA!" She shouted. Her friend would be killed if she dared to leap into the fight.

Azul

Azul had't snough strength to do this but he wouldn't see his daughter die his son was dangerous and he hated to admit this even to himself but to see him dead then like Aaka would be better.

|love, I am going after our daughter. I have no doubt our son will kill her. I will do what I must if I can spare him I shall try please I need you beside me on this|

Zev

Zev was alarmed as his weakened mate headed toward the fight. Eyes wide, he screamed, ELENA! and dashed after her.
