Jack stashed his flute back into his pouch and bowed slightly in respect. "My name is Jack, Jack Duncan Murdock fully. It seems as if she is in a hurry to get somewhere." He stated looking as Nyma flew quickly out.
Kaz stood and put her joyeous away, bowing in similar fashion as Jack she said, " Mine is Kaz, full name being Kazminya Tyann Wimund-Murdock." Her eyes followed Nyma, "Well, if you wish I can lead you to her and we can go get her back so she can rest. Once we have her set resting, I think we need to investigate further into what is going on in this planet. She should have the choice whether or not she sacrifices herself to save this planet AGAIN. "
Sighing sadly she continued, "It is just the past repeating itself, have the inhabitants of the world learned so little since her mother sacrificed herself?"

Lance got up from the table and made his way after Raven. His eyes fell down upon the angel figure on the ground of the diner. He gasped at seeing her as he remembered who she was.
Lance helped the woman lean up. Surprisingly even though she was covered with dry blood the injury she suffered earlier seemed to have faded from her body.

Laurell rolled her eyes with her gun aimed once agian at Amos and snapped, "Ya don't get anywhere but dead if ya wait too long." Getting to her feet with ease she never took her gun off of him as she watched him and added to her vampire friend, "Zeni find her and get her back here, you know the drill," and to Amos she nodded, "damned straight, you know to damned much right now soldier boy, the only way you're gettin out right now is inna body bag." She did step back a step and listen to the guy as he spoke. Rolling her eyes she huffed and muttered, "Great, just what we need more freaks in the neighborhood."

Solzeni narrowed her eyes as she sat there cross-legged. “I smell her. I can smell her blood. She’s not far from here. I can actually get there much faster. You two just stay here and protect the doctor should anything go awry. He may be needed again.” Solzeni would get up with as much of showing any effort at all for her true age. She was old enough to remember the original sacrifice for the planet. The legend had only been about a century old and Nyma was really younger than the legends foretold. Solzeni would vanish from her location to track Nyma down and retrieve her.
“So, the old bat put you on guard duty. Seems, she has enough sense in her yet to know when she has to put away her pride.” Rage would say this while sitting down in the chair that Solzeni was sitting in.
Nyma remained unconscious as the pain from her wings caused a contortion in her face. She seemed to wrinkle her nose a little from the pain. Her entire body ached for a small amount of time before going numb by the feather’s power to heal instead of caused a continuous pain. It was the other feather for her other wing. Nyma’s eyes eventually would open as she looked to see two people holding her up.

Kaz just huffed and started pacing, "True, but do you think sh ewill listen to what I said? I fear for Nyma, she should not be forced into something like this. It is utterly irritating!" She snapped out, her eyes moist with tears yet to be shed for the young angel.
The anger she felt and teh frustration of it all was not helping her mood. If she gave her part of herself for this it would practically be for nothing. When the angel deserved something. Looking to the doctor she apologized, "Sorry, I am not angry at you. It is just that I know this planet is hurting, but it is not o lat eto stop it from getting worse."
Jack stepped up to Kaz and stopped her pacing by grabbing her and wrapping his arms around her. Holding her, he laid her head on his shoulder, "Shhh, it will all work out my love. Her body will still get the feathers, that can not be stopped, but I am sure there will be a way to help her. To prevent her from having to sacrifice herself as had happened before."
He ran his hand through her hair, humming softly to her trying to calm her down.
Kaz just buried her face in his shoulder and sighed, letting the tears fall down her cheeks. She could not believe the incompetence of the inhabitants on the planet. It was getting so bad that even their villages were suffering from it.

"Miss...what happened to you?" Lance asked as the shock went away. He had assumed that the others would have took care of the angel and he ended up taking care for another. It was bizarre the number of angels he has met this night.

“I must…gather the feathers…then…sacrifice…” Her words would end there as she seemed to fall back into a state of unconsciousness. Her body was in chaos still trying to find the feathers. The remaining ones had to be found before she could take up the legends and fulfill her destiny.
“She speaks of an ancient legend where an angel of legends will sacrifice herself for the world to restore the land, but in the process her life will be forfeit. But, in order for the prophecy to come true again Nyma searches for the feathers again and is absorbing them into her body one by one. The feathers are causing her great pain as she absorbs them because they are being absorbed at an alarming rate.” Solzeni would appear out of nowhere to explain to Lance what was happening. Her stance the one of a matter of fact look. Her hand on Nyma’s chin, “Chick, you shouldn’t have gone on your own. You two come with me. We’re getting her back to the doctor. She needs attending now.”
"That might be so, but if Nyma decides to sacrifice herself we cannot stop her. Especially if she decides it because she feels she doesn't have anything to live for, an angel in despair will choose a path leading to their own destruction for the benefit of others. You will have to prove to her the reason for her own life to exist. I believe that girl doesn't know the worth of her own life anymore." Rage explained much as he looked at Kaz and Jack, knowing a little too much about Nyma already.

"No...I will not have young Raven have to deal with the miseries of others if I can avoid it." Lance said coldly as he moved before her. "This world has already been far to cruel to many of us. All I can ask is you take care of this woman if you can."

Skog turned his head to the angel lying on the ground, raising a quizzical eyebrow. "How can you save anything if you're dead?" He asked her, his voice that of a detached monotone. "And aren't you the one from the hospital? How did you get here?" He asked, although his questions were mostly just him thinking out loud.

Kaz couldn't move, her mind racing with thoughts on how to convince Nyma that she would help better if she remained alive rather than dying. How could they give her something to look forward too? "We will just have to show her that her life is as precious as that of anyone else." She mumbled softly.
Jack sighed as he held Kaz in his arms, "We may not be able to love. We can try, but do not despair if we can not. Perhaps her life has just been too harsh on her for her to continue on, and sacrificing herself may make her feel as if all her pain has not been for nothing. We can still try though." He said softly into her ear.

Nyma would not respond to Skog as she remained unconscious. Her body instead just continued to heal as it was.
Solzeni just gave a hm’ing noise at Lance. “If that is your wish, but I am going to need help getting her back as it stands. Plus, I believe I can stand to afford this girl added protection as well as yourself, though it might be rough at first. If you take this option it is up to you, but I need to get Nyma somewhere away for now least before she tries to seek anymore feathers and throw her life away for the planet. There has to be another solution than the sacrifice of a life and the continuing of the cycle of this forbidden legend.”
“Well, I got other patients to attend to. If you see Nyma again, call me instantly.”

Raven looked around at the group of people, she felt lost and confused in the rush of people crowded around. It was dizzying. She looked up at Lance, scared of the chill in his voice. But she understood it was for her. "Is there any way we could help her?" Raven asked. "Maybe I could help her, what is wrong?" Raven knew she has half angel, maybe her talents would be able to assist this woman. She felt gratitude towards him, he was prepared to defend her. Something that she had never known before.

"Now," Amos said calmly, "the question becomes, what will be done about him?" He looked Laurell straight in the eye. "Like me, you don't know how much he knows. Unlike me, you don't know where he is. Your resources are near infinite, I would imagine. What will the woman who runs this town do?"

Jack didn't speak, he just nodded to the doc as he left the room. He tightened his arms around Kaz and nuzzled her neck, "We will work everything out, I am sure that others share our feelings as well."

"R-Raven?" Lance said as she pushed forward. "You don't have to get involved with these people if you don't want to Raven. However I will not stop you from trying if you want do so."
Lance kept his eyes on Solzeni. He made a verbal contract to be Raven's guardian for the night at least so he was going to go wherever she did. After all a contract was as real a binding as a chain.
