Steel began to breath easy and he curled up in a comfortable position. He opened his eyes. "Thanks dad." Then he went to sleep.

Drago smiled at Steel though he would have told him he was sill for waking up and saying thay to him, but Steel was already asleep. Drago yawned and moved the couch that was there next to the bed and led on it, he wanted to try and stay close to Steel, with that he closed his eyes though as he rested on the couch and started to drift asleep

Steel slept peacefully. Outside a blue heron was flying to where Steel and Drago were. He landed on the roof and wheezed to get his breath. He walked to the end of the roof and intended to hop gracefully down, but his wings were tired and a foot got stuck in the roof and he tripped. He landed with a thump and a sqawk in a pile in front of the door.

Drago jumped when he heared a thump as if something had fallen at the front door, he sighed since it had just prevented him getting to sleep, slowly he stood up and walked to the door and opened it, he had been tempted to not go t othe door but he didn't want to be rude. Drago looked at the Heron that was in a pile at the front door and sighed, "let's get you inside" he said gently picking up the heron and taking him into the house "now where have you hurt" he asked, Drago was using a power to speak to anything since he was unsure if the heron could understand how he normaly spoke

"Thank you, my good man, but I'm all right. Just slightly dazed there, wot wot!" The heron said. "Now none of that silly fancy mumbo jumbo speach, I can hear you just fine without it." He extended a long leg and bowed to Drago. "I am squire Russano, I have been sent by Lord Sakul and Lady Saliloo to find their son, would you perhaps know a Drigerwolf by the name of...." He had quickly glanced in Steel's direction, then sqawked and did a double take. He hopped over to Steel and gently brushed his cheek with a wing tip. "This is him, I'd know these stripes anywhere."
Steel was still in a deep sleep and did not stir.

Drago looked at the heron, he thought it talked a litle strange, when Drago heard that he was looking for Steel he didn't know what to think, part of him was happy that Steel could see his parents while the other part feared steel would leave him, though it was like any father who didn't want to see there son leave.
"Steel has been safe with me" he said to the Heron while moving him back with a magic he had in the house "You are free to wait here while he sleeps but please don't wake him the last few days have been very troubling for us" Drago said his voice showing that Drago was confused inside at how to feel about the heron's arrival.
Drago went to the couch and led back down looking at Steel he knew Steel would go to see his parents but he didn't know what Steel would choose then, whatever his choice was though Drago was going to journey with him and see his decision.

((Talks just a little strange. rofl I based him off a hare in Brian Jaques Redwall books. rofl ))
"Well certainly." Russano said. "If you don't mind I'm going to find some grub." He rumaged through the house and found some uncooked fish. "Oh delightful!" He said and gulped it down.
Steel yawned and woke up. He saw Drago looking down at him with a strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" He asked, then he saw Russano. "Who are you?" He asked.
Russano jumped. "My liege! You are awake!" He exclaimed and bowed. "I am Russano, squire to your parents. They are waiting anxiously to finally meet you after all these years, and I found you! Will you come now? Wot, wot!"
Steel looked from the strange bird to Drago, then back to Russano. "I will come." He said. "But Drago gets to come to."
"Oh of course, your parents will reward him handsomely I'm sure, wot wot! Let's go!" Saying so he flew out the window and hovered and waited for Steel and Drago.
"Coming dad?" Steel asked.

Drago nodded and stood up "give an old man some time to get up" he joked slowly standing and wondered what form he should show himself in, he guessed since the Heron showed up he should become an animal, he let out a grunt of pain as something snapped and he went down onto all four, in a soft flash of light he had become a winged wolf. "I'm ready know, I think as long as we don't go to fast i'll be fine" he slowly walked to the window and jumped out his body aching slightly

Steel went out the door. "Am I the only civilized person here?" He joked.
"No need to go on foot, wot wot." Russano said. He opened a leather pouch that was hanging around his neck and took out a gold disk with silver runes. He placed it on the ground. A light flashed and the disk transported them.
"We are now just outside the village." Russano said and replaced the disk. "I will fly ahead and tell the lord and lady you have returned. Just go to the center of the village, you can't miss their tent."
Steel watched Russano fly off and started into the village. He shivered a little, but not because it was cold, he was nervous, and maybe a little scared. Two Drigerwolves were guarding the road through the village, they stood up and crossed their spears, barring Steel and Drago's path.
"Pardon me, but I have been summoned and need to pass." Steel said.
"The lord and lady don't summon Drigerwolves from other tribes unless they're important." One guard said. "And important Drigerwolves don't travel with mutant wolves."
Steel stepped in front of Drago and stood face to face with the guard. He ws a few inches taller than the guard. "You don't talk to him like that." He said dangerously.
The guard laughed and nudged his partner. "Or you'll do what. You're just a laddie buck. Turn around and go back the way you came while you still can. And make sure your mutant mutt goes with you."
The guard made a movement to poke at Drago with his spear. A strange sensation came over Steel. He stepped on the spear and it snapped in half.
"I am Steel! Kneel before your long lost prince!" He roared angrily.
The guards hastily dropped their weapons and dropped to all fours before him, cowering.
"Steel?" A soft female voice asked.
Steel calmed down and looked for the speaker. He saw a powerful looking male Drigerwolf standing next to a formidable female. Russano was perched on the male's shoulder. The male stepped toward him and Russano flew to the ground. He put a big paw on Steel's shoulder.
"Welcome home, son." He said in a deep bass voice.
Saliloo rushed foreword and embraced Steel. "I have waited for this day for so long." She said.
Steel smiled at them. "I guess I've found you at last."
Sakul crouched down so he could be level with Drago. "And you must be his keeper. I thank you, and I appologize for the guards, they shall be reprimanded later." He jerked his head at the guards and they scrambled to their feet and ran away from the group.

Drago was surprised at the teleport "I thought all these artefacts from that time where gone" he said his voice happy to see something from his past "I think I made a few of those before it became illegal then forgotten" Drago followed Steel and was surprised by how the guards acted. "Mutant wolf" he said surprised, he wasn't a mutant this form was that of a tribe that was most respected by animals since they where said to be guardians. He sighed and looked at the two Drigerwolf.
Drago nodded to the male Drigerwolf then his eyes changed to a demons as he changed back into his normal self, how people reacted to this form couldn't be any worse than what he had just been, Drago knew it was doubtful any of the creatures hear knew what he was since they didn't recognise the wolf form and f they did hoped they didn't hate demons like him, he noticed some stares though and hoped it was nothing more than curiosity. Drago sighed as he looked at Steel, he was glad that Steel had found his parents but sad since he could no longer call himself Steel's father and that they may soon have to part company.
Drago looked around it had been a long time since he had been to a place like this, the last time was over a hundred years ago when he was able to change forms with out anyone caring, in fact he had been a very respected person back then, He sighed again though at the memories everything always ended up being a sad ending but he continue hoping to find happiness anyway not wanting to return to his life under his fathers reign, he didn't like how people treated him kindly out of fear, he may have been a prince but that was nothing special in his eyes. Drago looked back at Steel and wondered what to say, inside he was unsure of what to do but hoped that he wouldn’t have to feel the sadness of parting again

Sakul's eyes widened when Drago changed. He spoke a strange language to Saliloo. Then kissed one of his claws, raised it to his forhead, and kneeled before Drago.
"I apologize again, I did not recognize you as the wolf."
Steel looked from his parents to Drago. He was being torn in two. Half of him wanted to be with his Drigerwolf tribe, the other half wanted to go back with Drago.

Drago sighed to himself as he saw Sakul bowed to him, "You don't have to appologise, it has been a long time since then" he said happily "I guess the winged wolves have left this forest also" this time Drago's vioce was a little sad since the Wolves he had know to be greeted kindly and for most people to know one from the other from the colour and look of the wings.
Drago walked over to Steel and smiled putting his hand on Steel's shoulder "Do what your heart tells you" he said. Drago looked then at the sky he wondered when the last time he had flown over this place was, in his life he had literally been everywhere, places forgotten and some that where now lost "I remember the gold leaves I was with a partner the last time I flew over this place" he said a tear falling down his cheek

Steel nodded at Drago's words. "I will, I promise."
"Come along Steel." Saliloo said. "Come to our tent, it's your home now."
Steel followed his parents into the village. He looked around at the other Drigerwolves, they all bowed their heads to him as he went by. As Tervascanto walked through the village, he realized that this wasn't his world, he was the first born to a Drigerwolf king, he could not be king! He stopped walking and stood there, his hands clasped together, staring at the ground in front of him. Sakul and Saliloo came back to him.
"Steel, what's wrong?" Saliloo asked, brushing some hair out of his face.
Steel made his decision. He knelt before his mother and took her hands in his.
"Mother, father, I know you have waited long for my return but.....I cannot do what you want me to do. This is not my world. For seventeen years Drago has been my father, and in a day I have a father and a mother who I don't even know. Please forgive me, but I cannot be your prince." He said and bowed his head.
Saliloo knelt down to his level and took his face in her hands, lightly stroking his cheek.
"Your father and I feared this would happen." She said sadly. "Of course you are forgiven, how could we not." She turned to Drago. "Come here please Drago." She held a hand out for him to take.

Drago followed behind Steel and his parents but kept a slight distance, he didn't know what to do last time he had been here was when his late wife had passed away, she was a winged Wolf just like his one form, the two had been very happy together and where expecting pups before the incident, his whole family robbed from him in an instant.
Drago stopped walking when he noticed Steel had and wondered what was going through the young Drigerwolves head, Drago was suprised by Steel's words he was glad that Steel wanted to stay with him but didn't know what his parents would think of it. Drago walkedover and tok Saliloo's hand before kneeling down before her like many had done before him back in his world.

"You be a good father to him, Drago." Saliloo said. "I know the gods are smiling at you." She nodded to Steel's stone of power.
Sakul came over to them and rested a hand on Steel and Drago's heads. "I give you both my blessing." He said and removed his hands.
"I just have one favor to ask." Saliloo said with a smile. "Please don't live too far away."
