			            Shinn smiled. "That'd be nice!" He said. "You could come up and play!" He said happily. He looked up at the moon and howled to it.
 Azrael chuckled. "I am very glad that you are comfortable there." He said. "I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable." Azrael took Miluiel inside and smelt the savory scents of of meat cooking. Shana was roasting the deer on a spit and she turned and smiled at the newly married couple.
 
 "This is almost ready." Shana said happily. Though she was physically large, even for a werewolf, she was not the size of her brother. As a matter of fact, if the werewolves went by the primitive standards of normal wolves, Azrael would still be the Alpha, as he was the most physically imposing specimen in the village. "Go on into the family den. I'll bring in the prepared food in for you. And don't either of you protest. It is your wedding night." She said.
 
 Azrael smiled at his sister and walked into the family den. He sat down by the fire and placed Miluiel down gently, but still close to him so she could be comfortably rested against him.

			            Tanis surfaced, and once Helena surfaced he pulled her to him and kissed her back. Thank you for taking me there." he told her softly. "It was beautiful."
 Miluiel felt foolish, but she was comfortable. She lay against Azrael when he set her down. "Thank you." She giggled. "It is getting chilly outside." She said softly looking into the flames of the fire. "I didn't really notice though." She smiled up at him, and taking his hand she kissed it gently. "I love you Azrael."

			            “Shall we go to the kids and tell them we’ll be climbing up to the springs and sitting in them?  They look heavenly and might help keep us from getting weary.”  Helena suggested this as she loved the fact the waters were truly healing her wounds to the point she didn’t feel them anymore.  She wondered what the springs would do.
 Anna just giggled as she nodded.  “That would be nice.  Perhaps I could bring my parents with me next time.  They are as shy as me however, it may take time to get them to come up to the surface again.”

			            "And I love you too, Miluiel." Azrael said to her, rubbing his cheek against her gently. "It is my duty to keep you warm when it is cold." He said to her dutifully.
 Shana appeared with two wooden slabs. One was covered in large slabs of meat, while the other was topped with berries and a some small cuts of meat, they were rough in cut, but it was clear that Shana had done the best she could to be considerate of Miluiel's tastes and appetite.

			            Miluiel laughed snuggling against him. "You are doing a wonderful job of it. I am very warm!" She said hugging him, she blinked tiredly for a moment. Shaking her head she aroused herself. "Azrael, I want to tell you about something that happened last night."
 Tanis nodded, "Sure, we should all be getting back before it is too late."

			            “After a little time in the springs we can head back, we’ll tell the kids that too.”  Helena would hug Tanis before beginning to swim towards shore.  Her body seemed to show a further sign of healing which was great news for Tanis and would be for the others back at the village as well.

			            Kayla nodded as she followed after Shera silently. Being out in the open like this Kayla found herself withdrawn and scared in general.
 "Okay I will see you both later. I have a few things to handle yet." Celeron said as he waved goodbye to them. Once they were both out of hearing range he turned to the man.
 
 "Who are you and how do you know me?" Celeron said in a low voice that was barely audible.
 
 "My oh my Mr. Thunderfist I travel about a lot and I hear many stories in my travels. You are famous among all the people you have saved from Demonic attacks." Jin said calmly as he smiled. "However those two I have never seen or heard of before. What relation do you have to them?"
 
 "They are traveling with me at this point. Are you the Priest Jin Hiyoshi?  I was told to seek him out in this area." Celeron said not giving to many details.
 
 "Ah yes I am. How may I assist you Celeron?" Jin said still smiling at him in that eerie manner.
 
 "My friend the angel you saw her appearance correct?"
 
 "Yes indeed. Seeing an angel is unusual but seeing an angel with such unique characteristics is mind boggling unique. In addition the young girl with her seems to have some kind of hidden past. Very mysterious indeed."
 
 "What do you mean?"
 
 "Only that when I touched her head I felt a great emptiness in her. Like a void swallowing everything."
 
 "She has amnesia. Would that cause that kind of sensation?"
 
 Jin pondered for a moment and finally shook his head. "I can't really tell you. Perhaps it could be."
 
 The bells could be heard ringing in the town missionary as Jin answered the final question.
 
 "I do hope we can chat again some times great demon slayer but for now I must return and assist my brothers and sisters." Jin said turning around and walking away.
 
 Celeron wanted to ask about Shera but from what he said already he probably had no real clue as to her condition. Celeron also turned around and began to walk back to the inn.

			            “We’re here Kayla.  We’re back at the inn.  We’re in the room that Celeron got for us to rest in.  We can breathe a little easier for now.”  She’d release her hold on Kayla as she sat there.  Her eyes looked at Kayla while sitting on the bed.  She hoped nothing more in the ways of wrong came of this day.

			            Kayla found relief in Shera's words as she also relaxed. 
 "All those people made me scared Shera. The way they stared and the way they talked. There was much darkness in those people." Kayla said quietly as she sat on the bed next to Shera.
 
 Celeron still wanted answers but for now he wanted to get to the inn. The strange priest seemed awfully aloof for a holy man. Yet the words he said seemed to echo in his head. He was almost back to the room already as he entered the inn.

			            Shera nodded.  “I felt it too as a healer.  I felt it all.”  Shera couldn’t help it as she would take Kayla’s hands gently to comfort the girl.  She didn’t want to scare the girl, but she would look at the way things could have gone.  They could have been killed as Shera couldn’t summon her Halberd to her hands in that situation.

			            Azrael gave Miluiel a curious look. "What is it? What happened?" He asked concerned. "Were you alright?"
 "We don't have many people visitin' us." Shinn said. "Well... lately we've had a lot of 'em, but a bunch of them were big meanies who hurt people." Shinn admitted. "But we didn't do nuthin' to get them mad at us."
 
 The first of the cutthroat lunged with his knife but found himself being bounced off a barrier. Logain sighed, his hand held out, the half-sphere composed of hexagonal shapes reflected light slightly, distorting Logain's images. The other cutthroats were soon bouncing off the barrier, their weapons landing on the ground harmlessly. The robbers ran off cursing, accusing Logain of demon magic. Logain simply sighed and held a hand over his heart, "Injustice is no excuse for name calling." He said as simple statement after the cutthroats. He gathered up all of the daggers and the hatchet and turned to the inn at which he was staying in.

			            Tanis smiled, "Sounds like a plan to me." He said reaching out to take Helena's hand. The springs sounded very nice, he looked forward to relaxing there.
 "Don't be alarmed Azrael, it is a good thing I think." She placed her hand gently over her neck, and found the string. She pulled the ring out from under the collar of her clothes. She looked down at it. "Does this look familiar to you?" She asked looking up at him.

			            Helena would take Tanis’ hand as she smiled.  She was happy to be able to enjoy her time with him.  “First let’s check the kids then enjoy the springs.  We can stay there for a little bit then leave for the village before it gets too cold.”
 Anna nodded.  “Bad people drove my village beneath the lake…then froze us.  We managed to survive only cause of our abilities.  I think it would be good for our people to make a pact with each other.  Do you think your papa would do that with my papa?  Form a treaty of peace?”

			            Azrael examined the ring and nodded. "It certainly is." Azrael said. "Izalia used to make them. Especially when I first met her. The pack she came from had more manual dexterity than we did, and they lived by the mountain, so the herded livestock and made things with porcelain. When she returned with us and became shamaness she taught us how to make them but... there is little clay around these places, and she handled wood more often." He explained. "How did you come by that one?" He asked her curiously. "Its in her favorite pattern, but it looks much newer than the ones we have." He commented.
 Shinn nodded slowly. "Uh huh. Opau would really like that. He's been wantin' to find people who would be nice to us. And I think Opau would like to meet yours." He said.

			            Tanis nodded, "Are these springs warm?" he asked hopefully. The thought of a hot springs was heavenly to him. 
 Miluiel blushed, "She came to me last night and spoke to me. She offered her blessing for us." Miluiel said taking his hand gently in hers. She kissed it and looked up at him. "She was beautiful, and sweet. She approved it seemed. She gave it to me Azrael." She snuggled closer to him, her eyes gleaming happily in the light of the dancing flame.
