The Cove

Courage is not the towering oak that sees storms come and go...


She shook her head at the male, not knowing what had happened at the Steele since she had not been here. She frowned suddenly, looking at terra with slightly fearful eyes. "Wait... i just thought of something... If Cecil and Elonia call you grandma... I should prolly call you grandma too.. But it just feels so.. bleh." She shuddered slightly, not liking how the word had rolled off her tongue.

It is the fragile blossom that opens in the snow.

[Archaic Advancement]

Avinda did her utmost not to listen in on the conversation as Digi carried the girl up to the second floor, the veiled woman following closely and kneeling down at Naydeen's side as the mage went back down to get help. Tentatively removing the layer of cloth obscuring her face, the older woman tightly pursed her lips before reaching out and placing a hand on the girl's forhead.

"Weaver you must wake up... I don't know the name of your demons and God will not do all the work for you. Wake up..." A red glow began to form under Avinda's hand, the woman watching closely as she urged the hot energy into the fevered girl. The technique had sustained her thus far, but it was still unpleasant; her thin face began to twist in pain, a high, agonized whine clawing its way up her throat. Her eyes fluttered open, but they were heavily glazed and sightless from poison, closing again almost immediatly and without any further hints or clues as to how to fix what was wrong.

Avinda stopped her rudimentary treatment, visibly distraught as she sat back on her heels and waited. Perhaps a prayer would help; at this point anything would be something.

[Kiro_Hoto]

Kiro shook his head. He didn't have the ability to just let the past be the past. Why would he when he could have made things better. When he could have saved them all this trouble. She was gone, there was no reason to argue anymore. Kiro's body stopped trembling, his mind was free to go into silence once more. Even with all said and done, Kiro wasn't the same man he once was. Everything that had happened changed him. Wisdom took the place of courage. Kiro was no longer the hero of any story. Rather, he was simply a figure shadowed in the background. Marching slowly to the forest, Kiro found rest beneath a tree. At either side of him, a shadow wolf sat. They huffed at him both with antagonizing glances, but Kiro didn't acknowledge them.

"Vaane will call soon. Then I shall go. You two will stay here and guard this place while I am away." Kiro's words were straight forward. The right pup growled under its breath, disliking the thought of being far from Kiro, but the noise simmered as Kiro placed a hand on it's head. "You two have become my best friends. I only ask you because I know that with you here, nothing will ever happen to my family.... If I wasn't here to stop it." Kiro choked on the words. "Don't worry about the one they call Ronin. I will kill him in due time. Just protect Echo, Elonia, and Digi. Cecil's body will be coming with me." The wolves turned to Kiro and bowed there heads in understanding, before laying at his sides.

[Maiden_Miaka]

Misaki took a deep breath, "Wish me luck," she giggled and began walking forward, unsure of what would happen next, the loud crashing sound of destruction filled her ears. She stepped down and gasped being almost blinded by the beauty and serenity surrounding the place she had destroyed in her arrival. Misaki knew what she had been sent to do, but how to complete the task. . .peering out past a few trees she noticed that finding this demon man would be much easier than she had expected.

Three stunning creatures stood before her, a demon man with a glowing red eye who was accompanied by two large black wolves. "You must be Kiro," Misaki said with a smirk, "I have been sent by Lord Vaane Skryr the Arcatype, my master to deliver a message unto you." Misaki froze for a moment, for she had never seen a man with such captivating looks. "Lord Skryr seeks your presence Kiro Hoto, and he inquires that you bring the body of your eldest child, Cecil." Misaki bowed her head down, nervous for the response of the Shadow Mancers reaction.

[Kiro_Hoto]

The sound of the crash in the forest startled the wolves at either side of Kiro. Both were on there feet growling at the close explosion. A petite female passed through the brush to his front. Kiro's memory flashed to his experience inside the Temple of the Arcatype. At the right hand of Vaane was this woman. Kiro's brow inclined as she spoke of her intentions. The wolves growls died and Kiro gathered himself to his feet. "Well then ma'am. Allow me time to explain myself to the family, and gather Cecil. Till then you are welcome to make yourself at home, it shouldnt' take me to long. My wolves shall accompany you. Just for public relations. Can't have my escort getting harmed in this place." Kiro gave her a kind smile, then turned away. The two wolves moved to her flank, stoicly taking guard.

Striding at a decent pace, Kiro moved back to the house. He would find Echo and explain to her how things would turn out. Following so, Kiro would then move to Cecil and retrieve the body. Both of the intentions were met in the same room. His whole family sat in wait around Cecil's body. This would all be an interesting deal to explain.
