"In all honesty I did not think that you would come, feathered one." But she only shrugged. "I made no promisses." And as Kieran asked for directions. "Head north for three miles, then make a turn north west. When we get to that point, I'll tell you where next." She flexed her claws, careful not to rest them on the horse though. "This mount can travel that distance with three of us?"

"I'm surprised. I mean after all, the message says going to andal. and that has to be for the poison in sevilin's weapon. I thought you'd raise hell about him being poisoned and trying to hide it."
Hey, that's what he knew, handing the note to Piper.
Onyx walked along side, not really room for three up there, and he couln't really trust his wings too much right now, but he did keep pace just fine.
"I'm a Hunter, Catawa. hunting, killing, is what I do. if you need killing done, then I'm all for it."

"Nerian can carry almost any weight. He's quite fine I assure you, he's not the normal horse after all." That said he reached back behind Catawa into Nerian's wind guised saddle bags and pulled out a lead rope, putting it on the horse then throwing it to Onyx, letting him catch that. "Just hold onto that really tight." A few elvish words to Nerian and he took to cantering steps before he disappered, blipping all three of them out of sight.
The popping up right where Catawa's directions ended, two seated on the horse, and Onyx standing next to them with lead rope in hand. Nice trick, eh? "Alright then, where next?" Make this as quick and painless as possible.
"He's poisoned too?" Now Piper didn't know that one. A frustrated noise that boredered a growl as she covered her face with her hands and took a moment ot perhaps recover herself. "And he's not going to Andal...he's going to Dimitri's castle...Onyx told me. Some deal he has with that Catawa creature." She shook her head lightly, taking that book in hand and pretending to read it...else she's go strangle that elf. "He doesn't have to lie to me about it...only makes me worry more..."

She blinked. That had surprised her indeed. She only looked at Onyx to make sure he was still with them. "From here directiosn are uselss. Even your wind horse will ose it's way. The only way you will know where to go is varying shades of gray. Land exactly wehre I point, or you might fall to the center of the earth. Okay? Look down the center of your hores's nose, in your view it lines up exactly with an area two shades lighter than the rest. Aim two inches about that."

Malik raised a brow.
"Stupid, arrogant and foolish is your father. that place is more deadly now than it was before. He obviously didn't pay entire attention. the undead I summoned will defend that place from anyone they find, provided they are still around. kill anything living."
A shake of his head.
"But I'm sure he'll be fine. after all, Fianna will tear him apart if he gets hurt."
Onyx didn't make a fuss, but listended, watched, and tried to see the lighter area..hmm..wonder if he could fly it. probably a bit risky though. damned wings and thier molting.

He blinked, looking where he was told. Lining things up, making sure things were right. "Got it." Easing Nerian onward gently, keeping him guided where he needed to go, not taking any risks. After all, falling to the center of the place wasn't sounding so hot at all. He was already stressed from Sevilin and now he was doing this.
"He can be. Loyal to a fault...a literal damned fault." She was trying to be detached from it...not worry. Kieran could take care of himself right? Though what Malik was saying wasn't making her feel any better. And the look she gave him told him that, shaking her head as he did before trying to go back to reading what was on the pages. "I suppose you're right...she would. Though I don't feels better about it...I have enough on my mind..."

This sort of direction was used for the rest of the voyage, it took a long time, and it took soem careful explination on Catawa's aprt. Evetaully though, she got them to a ledge where they could see the sickly light of the sun reaching down through the craxcked ceiling. "There it is, Kieran. Are you ready?" She looked behind her, "And you feathered one?"

Hm, he didn't know if he was sick of this place or if he was ever intrigued by it. But reaching into saddlesbags again he pulled out masks, tossing one to Onyx, handing the other to Catawa, and keeping one for himself. Hoarder, wasn't he? "Ready as any elf may be." Taking hold of Raziel, tucking the creature into his surcoat pocket so he could use the fabric as filter for himself, and also stay out of harm's way.

Onyx looked at the mask, shrugged, and had a hell of a time trying to worm his face into something that was never designed with an anthromorphic cat in mind. but once it was on, and it worked, he shrugged.
"I'm always ready."

Catawa's vpice was metalic and shakey comming from the mask. "Head towards the light then. Stay low, don't hit any of the rock formations. Do you happen to have something blessed by the Earth Mother on your person?"

With a sigh she rolled her eyes at him and his easy taken ideas on the subject, then rollled over onto her stomach, propping on elbows and resting her book on the fresh sheets in front of her, staring at words and trying to comprehend and match up to what was written under lines and in margins. "Isn't there anyway you can call off your plaything from here? Without inducing bleeding or injury to yourself that is?"
"I still have a sliver of Eca's bone in my pocket." Because Kieran rarely cleaned his pockets out. Which means that were full of his stuff and stuff that Raziel probably picked up." But a little kick to Nerian, getting him moving...slow and careful...the horse could be quite dependable when he wanted to be, heading onward toward thier intended destination. Of Course Kieran was monitoring him...who knew if this poison affected the Zephyr.

"you mean without Malvolence. No. but my power only reaches so far for so long. the spell has probably faded. my only concern is that the liches power or the Sky Father's energy might keep it going."
A small smile at her studying his language.
"Hope for the best, I guess."
Onyx shook his head.
"No. I have nothing of the Earth Mother. I'm not affiliated with her."
Though he was as cautious, the scents here were unique, to say the least.

"Kieran, can you snap the sliver in half and give it to the feathered one? No one should be walking on that ground without something from the Earth Mother. Whether you are affiliated with her or not."

Reaching into his pocket he pulled out the sliver and then took out his dagger, splitting it down the middle and handed one over to Onyx to have for his own person. Then replacing his own half and his dagger away."All cautions taken and we shall proceed with care."
"I didn't say without Malvolence, I said without hurting yourself which meant no walking out there yourself." She gave a sigh, frowning a moment as she titled her head at pages, flipping one and going on...kid of surprising that she could indeed read anything with all the scribbling. "Right, hope for the best..." Staring a moment before pushing the book over to him and pointing to a word, "What's this one?"

Onyx took the sliver, and looking around on his person for a place to put it..before doing the super macho thing of just jamming it into his forearm along the back. wasn't going anywhere now.
"Okay, ready."
Ow that hurt.
"Well, technically, Malvolence does make me bleed, and causes me a small injury to use, so there."
A look over at that word.
"That would be..Defiance. the sentance being 'by standing up to those greater than you, you are showing Defiance.'"
