 It was early morning and the stars were still in the sky when Belial emerged from the place he and Rennoa now called home. Rennoa, once everyone's princess, now his Queen, his mate. He sat atop a stone and thought about everything that had happened since that fateful day when he'd first discovered the tri-tailed ulaya. There had been a lot of changes and Bel wanted ... needed... to take care of his mate and support her, but there were things he had to know.
"And there's only one way I can think of to find answers," he said softly to himself. "Its time I talked to Tsukurou..."
It would be full light by the time he reached the cave where he had first met Ren's father, and Bel hoped he'd find Tsukurou there again, but one never knew with such a traveler. "Its a place to start," he said with a nod. With one last look back toward home, he set off in the new light of dawn heading toward the sea

 Tsukouru wasn't the slightest type to stay in one place.. but once he had kids. It was harder to travel.. It was funny how he traveled with them for many days.. but always came back to this one. this love.. by the sea. Where his mate had also wondered back to time and time again.. but this time. It was Tsukouru the one left behind. From all the origins... He always stayed there now.. Staying close by just in case his mate would come back to stay with him for the short time they have.. Since she was always in search of her little ones. That mother.. she really needed to bring her new life in perspective but he wasn't one to judge. Just support like the good mate he was but little.. did he go out.. and this was the day he did.. When the stars went up. It had been almost three months since all his kids became grown and eventually left but all was fine here.. he slowly came out.. emerging from the depths in his cave.. like the strong- large male that he was. He set out, muscle by muscle even if hints of age tickled at every corner. As he pasted the path once taken by his lil family. He found himself touching sand.. Then moments latter he felt moist sand beneath his large paws.. looking out in to the ocean. This is what he wanted. To grow old, have a family, and to waste away as he saw them grow in to adults and on with their lives. Isn't that what every father wanted? His tuffed tail- flickered.. His chest up.. and his head high. Proud.. "It seems you and I have grown..." He whispered.. and it was basically directed to the sea. "Watching my family.. but now to look back.. we lived a good life." He nodded. Of course- he was in love with traveling for many times he was absorbed with the fact that no land will ever be unheard of- unseen. To the highest mountains and lowest of caverns. It was fitting.. since he felt it was calmed.. to now. See that his cubs.. were grown in to loving.. adults. and start their stories.. heh. the wise ol' ulaya.. he still had much knowledge to give this world yet it seemed.

Belial acctually enjoyed the journey toward the sea. He could understand why some ulaya kept traveling there was a peace to it, time for quiet contemplation. With so much to concern him though Belial allowed his mind to wander and just admire his surroundings; there would be enough to think about when he found Ren's father.
The scent of the sea reached him and he picked up his pace. He checked the cave first and caught Tsu's scent, "He's still around here then," he said before traveling down the path to the sea... There was a shiver in him now and he wondered if he should call out to indicate his arrival or allow the older ulaya to notice him .... He paused on the top of a dune looking over the water.

Tsu was absorbed.. his mind calmed almost to a flicker.. he remembered when he taught his dear children how to swim.. how to hunt. The many things he taught him, and one was to know their surroundings. Feel what the ground and wind have to offer...
"...Have you too, come to admire the sea.." He didn't know who was behind him, but he knew for sure that someone was.. Different change in wind currents and the feel of the ground. Everything that he taught his children. His ears pulled back.. he had a mane now. It was the growth of being old.. some of his fur that was black even had a hint of gray now.. he wasn't as OLD as many thought.. but he just didn't seem to try and hide his aging process.
His voice was rasp with a golden wisdom behind it. As if he had knew exactly what the other wanted- but in reality he did not even know whom it was.. His tail had grown to, a more.. bigger sorta way.. Like a fox's tail. It flickered every now and again.
His one yellow eye looking out.. still he had his patch on. Kirara understood why finally... He'd only take it off when asked of him by her..

Belial grinned as Tsu's words came to him, with the question of announcing his pressence taken care of he made his way down to join his mate's father. "Partially perhaps, the sea does have a call, but acctually I was seeking you," Belial replied as he approached.
He noticed the other had aged since they'd last met. It seemed so strange as Belial had never viewed him as so much his elder before. The tip of his spaded-tail twitched.

He softly nodded his head.. hearing the other come closer.. and smoothly come out with his reason. His ears pulled back but he still firmly looked forward. "MM... What can I do for you.."
He was somewhat eager to ask about his daughter.. How she was. Saffron leaving sometimes. Everything.. but of course he waited til time absorbed and placed everything.. The ocean sent stray kisses to both of them.. at shore, the soft trickles of water that seemed to crash down in a fascinating way.
He was neither angry, nor too happy that his children left. It was all in their due time of age.. where they would adventure through with their own boats across the seas.. Especially Rennoa. The one that seemed to dependent.

Belial continued forward and was soon beside Tsu. "Its good to see you again Tsukurou," Bel started and got straight to the point. "I've come about Rennoa."

He should have reacted.. but he did not. He didn't look to the side. "Aye." He replied.. Meaning the same goes for you. A meeting of civilized males..
"I see that she is not here with you.. Is there something wrong...?" His voice was almost touching.. a concerned voice hinted but not expressed to the fullest. He batted the long tail now.. Flicking it in a lazy kinda way.. He still watched the ocean.. As if he knew it was watching him back.

Belial wasn't quite sure how to answer that. "Mostly she's not here because I'm not sure how she'd feel about why I'm here. I have questions. She's changed so much and its not just that she'd grown up," a slight purr escaped him, the satisfaction of how lovely she had grown and he coughed embarrassed. "Sorry about that. I'm surprised myself at how things have turned out, I never expected that day I saved a sweet kit just what she'd become to me."
Bel paused his tail twitching nervously. He paused trying to find a way to get to the two main questions he needed to ask... perhaps the elder would offer some information on his own.

"Oh?" He turned with a very soft concerned face, it wasn't a face of a worry wart. No.. Just of a concerned ol' man.
"I had a feeling..." His voice was smoothed out.
"I had a feeling things would happen this way. When Ren looks so sad being here.. and would only go to the ocean to seek guideness. I knew. That here she would not stay for long." he turned to him. "What answers do you wish to obtain without Rennoa here." That eye seemed to look right through the soul be he did not wish this ulaya's.. No matter.
Appearances didn't matter in this family.. as one could see. He mated with a demon himself.. but undoubtedly in love with this demon he was. In which ren also had this blood.. the blood of the demon. Was that what he wanted to know? About the demon? About the mother of Ren that he never met? yes.. that could be it. Was Ren suffering?
At this same time.. Ren had grown in the stomach area.. and wasn't about to let loose. She was with Saffron and took him to his house where his two father's were.. Her stomach made her feel nauseous and sick.

Belial sighed and lowered his head. "Its that saddness in her. She's so hurt and I don't know what happened to cause it. She's found some peace with me with the understanding we now have, but something haunts her..." Now he looked back up at Tsu into the elders eyes, "There's more, there's something in her fierce and fiery that seems to take over. What's going on with her? Is there anything more I can do to help her?"

"Saddness..?" He moved back and shook his mane out a little. To turn to the other. "It was caused by love." He sighed and closed his eyes- to only reopen them when he turned back to the water.
"And the fact that she had to give up that love.. is why she hurts. It will pass.. just like any unrelenting love... it was her first I believe. Is why it still hurts her.. Just like anything she will grow out of it. She is strong..it will pass. Given time." He slowly walked around and turned- "Lets have a walk shall." His muscles- and ol' ways moved with a very solemn way.
"Fierce you say.." His voice was calm and wise.. as he walked along.. waiting for the other to follow with slower steps so he could catch up. "If you want to stay with my daughter- it would be fine. But to understand her- would have to dig some in to her ..blood." His eyes almost looked as though they got cold for a moment then kept walking.
"I'm not sure if you can help.. "

Bel walked with him quietly for a time. Her first love? he thought and wrinkled his nose a growl escaping, "Her brother. She mentioned something about him being gone." It had all been so overwhelming that day and he hadn't wanted to press issue for fear of bringing up her hurts. "
"Her blood?" his voice filled with curiousity. "Her mother? I never did meet her and though she's mentioned with love, I don't recall hearing much about her." His tail flicked irritably at Tsu saying he might not being able to help. "There's no way anyone can know that without me understanding what's happening."

"Away from her and for good reason." He stopped midway down the beach and turned to Belial. He was serious, and his face showed that now of a concerned but very strict father. "It is of pain you can feel love, and without pain you may never truly know love. Do you understand?" He one eye seemed to follow and look in to Belial's.
"Her mother's blood. A perfect and untouchable being, that may never once hurt another even but a fly that may land on her nose. A being so beautiful, so honest and pure. A loving and endearing one that has found within ashes comes life. Yes, with love, but with her holds the secret to Ren's blood. That- I know just as much as you, but if she becomes overwhelmed it may engulf her and we may all lose the princess everyone seeks refuge in." Just that, was enough to tell him what was wrong with her, but that just wasn't enough. "I knew one day they might encounter this- and wish them only to control it but in such a state that Ren is in, she has to fight it alone. Scorched marks upon the ground, and at times a fiery inner soul comes out, or am I mistaken Belial." He stilled himself almost to look as though painted in to the foreground.
"Her blood is something beyond that of a mortal. I wish you only to understand.. that sometimes. A battle can not be won by how many supporters one has, but the strength within themselves. I know you mean well... but unless she fights this trial on her own, she may never be the one we all remember." He did feel belial's irritation and who wouldn't. It was hard to let your children suffer and be with pain..but what else could he do- but NOT fight their battles.

Belial chuckled ruefully, "Of course I understand. I did not receive these scars from a loving family after all."
He listened thoughtfully as Tsu spoke of Ren's mother, the love and admiration was there as well as concern for the daughter. "It's like someone else looking through her eyes sometimes. I can feel her trying to hold it back. She is strong and she is loved and supported. I will remain beside her. She isn't that princess anymore, much as we want to see her bounding about with those triple tails dancing behind her carefree." He sighed. "Still that was the child and it is not as a child that I love her now. There is strength in her even through her pain. Perhaps she can find a balance with that inner fire..."
