Helena thought long and hard on the question that was asked of her. “Moonlight. I think it would be beautiful!” She’d lean up then as much as she could to kiss his lips with her own two lips. They might not have been standing, but she felt like she was in the air with a feeling of glee.
“Anna! Shinn!” Morte would fly over to get hold Shinn comfortingly. He knew this aura was an aura that he wanted neither child near.
Ursa would quickly go to grabbing up Anna into her arms as she held her close backing up to Morte whom held Shinn.
“Momma…Papa what is this feeling? It makes me feel sick…” Anna didn’t like it as she felt dizzy and sick to her stomach dropping all the pinecones in her tiny arms because of it.

"Dearest, are you alright?" Miluiel asked Azrael, she felt the unease within herself and within him. "Do you sense something in the forest?" Miluiel asked softly. "Where are the kids?"
Tanis held her close to him now. He kissed her deeply, his heart racing with bliss. "By moonlight it will be then." He said when their lips parted.

"Outside, with Morte and Ursa." Azrael said to Miluiel. He was certain that they wouldn't let them come to harm. In his worry he led Miluiel out at a very fast pace, the pitcher of berries was forgotten on a shelf. Azrael darted out following Shinn and the other's scent and catching the unpleasant, yet all too familiar scent. His pace quickened. This was not good at all. When he reached the clearing he skidded in front of where Morte and Ursa were sheltering the children. Azrael growled at the wolf with midnight-blue fur. It was the first time that he had been able to tell it wasn't black. "Duriel..." He growled. "What are you doing?" He demanded.
Duriel chuckled softly, and gave a gesture of mock hurt. "Why, my elder brother! Whatever could you mean?" He asked, pretending innocence.
"Shana told me what happened to you... Your worse off than she said. You have not even tried to regain yourself, have you?" He asked darkly, clearly displeased and worried. "You know what our pacts, brother. Yet you flout them, and threaten our peace?" He demanded.
Duriel snarled and glared at Azrael. "Peace?! There is no peace! You know it Azrael! You know as much as I- no better than I, in fact- that our people have the smallest populations of every other race. I did what you would not, and went to rectify that situation." He said with a leering grin.
Azrael looked at him uneasily. "Duriel... what do you mean by that?" He asked, suspicious and afraid for what his brother had done. Duriel yanked the chain and the disgruntled looking dog-like werewolf came out slowly, and unhappily. The blue eyes that did not match a natural werewolf told Azrael all he needed. "HOW DARE YOU!?" He shouted at Duriel. "For all that I have done... you have made to destroy all that I have worked toward building! You fool!" He was angry, he had not been so outraged in his life, only his need to keep his wife and his son from seeing him fight under these circumstances, prevented him from leaping at his brother's throat.
The dog-like werewolf at first glared at Azrael with equal contempt as the one that held him in a chain. But the angered and sorrowful shout that larger werewolf with black fur and white fur on his chest gave to the one that held his chain suggested that he was not deserving of his ire. So was Duriel lying after all that all of his people would support him. Who exactly is this larger male that is apparently brother to this monster?

“I feel something…uneasy back at the village. We should fly. I’ll take us there as a half-dragon. I have the strength to hold you up in the air and myself. We have to fly fast. I fear the worst.” Helena looked at Tanis as her eyes turned into two different colors. One red and one green, while golden dragon wings large enough to pick up two people; she’d hold onto him as she picked him up into the air with her. “Hold onto me tightly, I think this might be your first time flying with me. I should next time let you ride upon my back when I am in full dragon form.” She’d fly as fast as she could towards the village. She had to get there before something happened.
“Oh but werewolf…there is peace amongst the races…You just are blinded by rage…We fairy folk maintain peace with this very peace now. Do not dare believe that peace is not attainable between races. There is peace now to be attained between elves as well. Your evil will not sustain you.”
“How cruel…to murder senselessly…” Ursa took the children in her arms. “I’m taking the children somewhere safe. They won’t be harmed Azrael. Peace will be sustain between the fairies and the werewolves whether this one believes in peace or not. Come children.” Ursa held the frightened Anna in her arms and would go to take Shinn in her arms as well if he would let her to fly him safely away from the coming situation.

Miluiel looked at the dog like companion standing beside Azrael's brother. Her heart sank. There was something in the eyes that made her feel weak and sick. The life that lay in those eyes. She knew them immediately. "F-father." She said softly, as softly as a breath. Her heart beat painfully beneath her ribs. "You beast!" Miluiel shouted at the wolf, the rest of people in the small area seemed to drift out of her consciousness. Taken over by her mixed feeling Miluiel ran at the werewolf in a desperate attempt to save the pitiful dog creature.
"I don't want you hurt Helena!" Tanis said hugging her tightly with the hope that he could keep her here, but the attempt was a failure. she was already flying. "Please, they can handle it." Tanis retorted, trying to talk sense into Helena.

Helena looked at Tanis while flying. She’d sigh a bit before stopped part way over the water lowering into the shadows. He was right though. She had only recently recovered from being in battle with Karen and still hadn’t fully recovered from that. “Alright, but if that sickening feeling gets any worse. We must go to the village okay? Promise me we go? I can’t help but have a sickening feeling in my gut.” Her voice came out meekly as she placed her head on his chest while they stood there waist deep.

Tanis nodded, "I swear, the moment you feel sicker we will go back to the the village!" Tanis hugged Helena tightly. "Would you like to go to the hot springs? Maybe that would help you to feel better."

“Yes, we can go to the hot springs.” She would hug Tanis back as she managed to place her chin upon Tanis’ shoulder despite their height difference. She’d fly them up to the springs and gently land into the warm waters. It’d soothe her greatly, but she still couldn’t shake the uneasy and sickening feeling she had inside. It pained her as well as the smile that otherwise would have been happy to be with Tanis was a sad smile.

Jin could see the quizical look on Shera's face and never brok his smile.
"I'm sorry is there something you wish to ask as well? I have a lot of strange little tidbits of info from my travels from city to city taking care of those hurt by the wars between the various races. I was going to head south until I heard about the wild demon incident." Kin said as he put his hand to his lips ponderously. "I don't want to leave people who are in trouble you know."

“How is it you know of this poison where the healers where I lived knew nothing of this poisonous curse did not? Even I as a healer held no knowledge of this.” Shera wasn’t buying this man’s story the least bit as she stood there and it was clear she didn’t trust him as she grabbed onto Celeron’s arm. Her lack of trust only showing when Jin mentioned a demon incident, that was his true motives for coming here. To make them hunt a demon down, they’d have to fight again.

"I am a traveling priest my good lady. Forgive me for saying this but the people you may have dealt with may have been very accomplished healers but I have learned from many men, woman, and things over my travels. I am always seeking out strange medical ailments and how to cure them." Jin said calmly immediately after she asked. His voice did not waiver in the least and his eyes seemed to bore into hers as though trying to get her attention.
"I won't drag you into a fight you do not want Shera as I told you before fighting the scum of the way of destruction is my life. Killing them is my job and I am known to be good for it or I wouldn't get offered the prime jobs. Besides someone has to watch Kayla right?" Celeron said lovingly.

The werewolf with the dog-like ears looked at the shouter in surprise. I know that voice! He thought worried. My one God, please... let it not be her. He looked up and saw a female elf in fur clothing running at the werewolf that held him so. "Miluiel!" He yelped. "No!"
Duriel grinned nastily. "So... I finally found you!" He said as she ran at him. His clawed hand reached out and grabbed her. "Now, I will make you pay for having me search you out!" He snarled.
"Go!" Azrael said to Ursa. "Take them somewhere safe!" He turned to the scene and saw Duriel grab his wife, and was overcome with fury. "YOU DARE?!" He shouted as he bounded up to Duriel and bit his arm. Duriel snarled and released Miluiel, and Azrael moved in front of Miluiel protectively. "You will never touch my wife, again!"
Shinn whipered and shivered in fright. Not wanting to be near Duriel and he grabbed Ursa tightly, his eyes shut tightly and his tears running down his furry cheeks.
Duriel did back off a bit, but he did not back down. His older brother was larger than him, noticeably larger. But despite that, they both seemed to be at a match, Azrael with natural fury and Duriel with an unhealthy might, as well as his feral demeanor. "Wife? You let that take you for a husband?!" He demanded. There was a proud nod from Azrael. "Did you even think of what entails? Did you even think of your son? The best Shinn will ever be treated by an elf will be like a pet dog! And when he gets large, they'll put him in a collar and lock him in a ca-"
"SILENCE!!" Azrael howled. "You know nothing brother! Absolutely nothing!" Azrael was brething heavily from his outrage and stared into Duriel's unhealthy eyes. "You never understood..." Azrael continued. "Even when Izalia was with us, you stood in the way every decision we made. I thought you had an alternative to it, I let it go because you had an opinion. But yet you always thought that you were right, and your plans put our people at risk. Our people are already suffered through immense hardships. But all you did... was try to send us down the path of destruction, just to fight for something that could not be changed." Angry tears ran from Azrael's eyes. "What did I ever ask of you?! I only ever asked to allow peace to have a chance. That is all! I never asked you or anyone to do anything for me. But now I see that you had grown jealous of me. You wanted to be the Alpha, and you couldn't stand not being recognized, you demanded to be recognized. What did I do to you? Was that jealousy all that drove you to destroy or block everything we tried to work for?!"
For a brief moment, the unhealthy aura around Duriel faded, and his eyes were clear, a tear could be seen. "You... Why can't you ever think of yourself!?" He asked. But soon the tear vanished and the unhealthiness returned to Duriel and he snarled. "Your good for nothing!" He shouted. "You know nothing! I am better than you! I brought the vengeance for the elves treachery! In the time when the Song of Life was destroyed, our people sought the elves for shelter, but they turned us away with iron and blade! There is not one elfish ruler who doesn't have a cloak made from the furs our ancestors!" He told Azrael. "If you weren't such a coward, so willing to hide here in this forsaken corner of the world seeking your peace then maybe I would give you respect!" The two estranged brother stared at each other and growled, their sharp teeth bared toward the other.
Shana had heard commotion and soon saw Duriel from a distance. "No... I didn't want you to return like that Duriel. Azrael, this is my fault." She said to herself. Shana ran toward the house stealthily. She didn't want it to come to what she was going to do, but she knew that there was no other option anymore.

Everything happened so quickly. Miluiel realized too late that her choice of actions was not a good plan! No, it was an awful plan! She was soon wrapped tightly in the strong arm of a wolf very unlike her husband. This hurt, Azrael would have never hurt her. The next second she has felt Azrael's fur brush against her. And she was laying, on her back, in the heavy melting snow. She pushed herself up, looking at Azrael standing before her protectively. Numbed with a fury of mixed emotions Miluiel listened to the conversation, unable to take offense for any of the cruel words.
Miluiel's eyes fell on her father. The fear set in, but not as it should have come. She felt another burn of anger against Duriel. She wanted to get to her feet and help Azrael, but she realized this was a brother's fight.
Tanis lowered himself into the warm water. "Helena, I know here is now where you want to be, but I really think that we should stay. I don't want you to come in harm's way! I know you are upset with me..." The elf looked away, he didn't want his future taken away from him again.

Shera would look at Jin while listening to Celeron. “Yes and I’ll protect her with my life Celeron.” Her voice came strongly. She’d stay with him, but Kayla came first as she went to the young girl who was left alone. Her gaze now no longer on Jin.
Ursa only nodded as she would take Shinn lovingly into her arms. “It’ll be alright Shinn. Anna will be with me. We’re going someone very pleasant. You’ll get to play there.” Ursa hummed as she flew up into the air.
“My cherished…” Morte would stay behind to help where he could as he used his speed to help guard Miluiel. A fairy of all things that usually shows no aggression to people now showing it to someone with an aura that sickened him. “Young Elf, stay behind me as much as possible. We don’t want Helena here at all. As much as she might get sick from her senses telling her to come. She must not come here to rescue you. She is still in recovery.”
Helena only looked at him as she also lowered herself in the water and felt it then. The sickening feeling become worse as she looked towards where the village was. She saw then Ursa flying towards where they were with the children and the fairy village coming up…out of the lake! Something terribly wrong was going on! “Tanis…I promise you I won’t go if you tell me not to…”

"All right Jin let us not waste any time then. The longer we take to fight this thing the longer innocent people can be harmed." Celeron sais casually as he hugged Shera with one arm. "Are you going to stay here Shera or will you come with us to stay nearby."
