“You roll these and move these across the board. My papa made the board. He’s good a making things.” Anna chimed this as she handed Shinn the things to roll and watched to see what he would roll as she coughed a little being that she was now sick.
Ursa stood vigil over the children as she hoped all went well with her husband.
Helena again would bury her face into Tanis’ chest as she floated there at the bottom of the lake with Tanis just hugging him. Her eyes couldn’t look at the flowers yet as tears flowed into the water from her closed eyes. The flowers did help to soothe her, but not as much as being near Tanis. She’d eventually look up at him as she kicked to looking him in the eyes for a few moments before kissing him on the lips and holding the kiss. Her tear filled eyes would close after the kiss was established.

Talithan smiled at his daughter. "I believe that I would like some water, since you are up and offering." He said to her, sweetly. She seemed nervous about something, and there seemed to be a rapport between the two. So what? He thought. He gave my daughter shelter and helped to protect her. No reason why she couldn't have made friends with him. "Unless you happen to have something stronger." He added trying to have a light mood.
Azrael shook his head. "No... we have stronger, but I don't keep it in the house." He told Talithan. "The waterskins are on the second shelf in the supply room." Azrael said, slightly pained to having her get it, but knowing that he had to handle Talithan. "What did you mean 'righteousness?' " He asked the elf king.
Talithan smiled sadly. "Well... This may upset you a bit... but we elves are responsible for your people being forced to this end of the world." He told him. "Some of what your... brother... said was true. When the age when the song of life played came to an end, the werewolves did indeed come to the elves, for home and shelter. They pleaded and begged, but the elves refused. You must understand, that at the time, we were jealous of the werewolf. They were so much more in tune with nature, they only had one great city, but it was the grandest thing of nature. The werewolf Shamans created a place where the earth itself rose into homes, and the trees capitulated to give them shade. In our jealousy, with nature wild and wringing itself to destruction when the Song of Life stopped, we turned our blades on those who sought a home. And even after, we pursued and tried to purge them. Even my father gave an edict to repulse wolves." He looked at the floor with regret. "I did not follow this when I took the throne. However... it was revealing this information that turned your brother on us. For you must see, that he did not attack all out of a sudden. He was not even unstable like he was when he attacked us... to be honest, I was rather fond of him, he was a bit wilfull and headstrong... but not the creature he turned out to be. When we told him about it... because he did ask, he began to have that unhealthy feeling to him. I am sorry for what we have done to you. It is us who should be giving reparation to your people." Talithan insisted.
Azrael shook that thought away. "No. You are not at fault for what happened in the past. But that was who my brother was. He was a good person, if a bit stone headed." He admitted. "But... my brother will neither be the person he used to be, nor the creature that attacked you so viciously. To be honest... he may not survive more than a few days, after my sister gentled him." He shook the thought away. "No, what I want is to end all of these troubles between the peoples of the world. Not dwell on the"
Shinn nodded and cupped them in his hands before rolling the rolling objects. He figured what the roll meant and moved his piece accordingly. Shinn was still going through the mental affects but he was enjoying it.

Miluiel nodded, and with a bow she left the room. This is how the women acted in the elven culture. Miluiel still remembered it well. She easily found the water skins and filled them full them. She could pick up the conversation even while away from it. She returned and offered her father one of the skins, and Azrael the other. "Is there anything else I can get for either of you?" Miluiel asked, making sure she would not be needed once she sat down. She had not heard this part of her people's history from her father. It pained her, and now she even felt betrayed. The werewolves where her people now too. She was happy, oh so happy to see her father! But with her father came a feeling of pain.
Tanis followed Helena, he wanted to sooth her, and calm her. He was her doll, and she pulled his strings. He kissed her back, hoping ot help her calm herself and feel better.

Anna would take the rolling objects next and rolled them. She dropped her wings when she got a poor roll as she looked at Shinn and moved her piece. It made her giggle a little but it was clear she was still very sick from first meeting Duriel.
“Shinn, would you like anything to eat while I get something to help my little Star get well?”
Morte would stand vigil outside the house that Azrael and the others would talk in. He did not sit in these talks, but instead was eager to be the guard incase of anything that might happen.
Helena eventually broke the kiss as she looked at Tanis’ face gently touching it. She would have to remember that they were to be married and that she was to do things for him from that day forth. She didn’t mind that as she looked into his eyes. They were brilliant in appearance to her. Her own emerald green eyes not in compare to his, she’d just reach up and gently touch his face as she opted to explore the lake a little more long as she was with Tanis she would be happy wherever they go. She motioned though for Tanis to lead her through the water as she would follow him this time a showing she wanted to explore the bottom of the lake.

Shinn gave Anna a reassuring look that she would get a better roll and gave his pieces another roll. His luck wasn't so good either and his ears drooped a bit, but he still smiled. Shinn looked up to Ursa and nodded. "Yes pwease!" He said to her, he had just remembered he hadn't eaten any breakfast.
Talithan accepted the water-skin from his daughter. "No this will do me fine. Thank you Miluiel." He said, taking a swig. It wasn't the cleanest water, but it was cool and certainly was not offensive. He placed the waterskin down. "At any rate, I understand what your saying, and I suppose we could work out something to fix the wrongs between our people. Would you think that there would be gold or silver in the nearby mountains?" He asked. He would turn something out of this impromptu and unpleasant journey.
Azrael shook his head. "I am a werewolf, Degarash, not a dwarf. We can only smell metals after they have been dug up. It is not our place to disturb the mountain." He explained, though he could see the slight ploy that Talithan was working, and was politely rebuffing this without him noticing.
Talithan sighed, he felt ashamed and his shame would be visible to Miluiel, that he had tried to manipulate Azrael for economic gain. It was wrong of him to think of these creatures as the savages his forefathers described werewolves as. "No... I am sorry, it was wrong of me to ask that. Forget I said it. Old habits die hard. I forget I'm dealing with people who live off what nature gives them." Talithan sighed and looked to his daughter. "My daughter... I must tell you that when we return, that I shall be passing my throne on. I shall send the messages to Tanis for arrangement for your wedding."
Azrael gave Miluiel a very pained look, one of them would have to break the news. But he knew that it would hard for Talithan.

Miluiel bowed her head. "Dearest father." She began, her voice low. "First let me tell you Tanis has found a new love, but you can blame me for that. I found a new love before him." Miluiel looked down at her hands. Her head throbbed painfully and her eyes began to water. Her hands shook under the stress of her father's gaze. "I have given myself away father." She said timidly.
Tanis grinned and taking her hand he led the way deeper into the water. As he got deeper he began to see fish, bright and beautiful. He pointed them out to Helena. He admired Helena, unable to think of anything but how beautiful she was.

Ursa only smiled as she went into the area of her home where she kept the food. She’d retrieve food for the children to eat and something hopefully to help little Anna feel better as she grabbed the herbs mashing them into a drink for Anna to drink. She'd return with the food and Anna something to drink. "Here you go Shinn, some dried meat for you and something to drink for my little Anna to make her well again."
Anna would roll the rolling objects but again got a bad roll as her strength seemed to be waning a bit. She seemed to be dearly sick.
Helena eyes had stopped tearing up as she nodded and looked at the beautiful fish. She managed to keep up with Tanis as she held onto his hand swimming at his side with a smile forming on her face. She was beginning to calm greatly as she looked at him. She felt happiness as she snuggled close against Tanis just admiring him and the fish, mostly Tanis though as she ran her free hand through his hair.

Talithan's face showed a mixture of emtions, from surprise to anger, and then to curiousity, and repeating. "Y-you gave yourself... away?" He managed to say through his shuck. "To whom have you given yourself?" He asked her.
Azrael looked up at him. "We agreed to give ourselves to each other." He said to him. "We have been bonded under the light of twilight, and the moon will attest to our bond." He said to him. Azrael had had to explain it and took Miluiel's hand in his own gently.
Talithan was even more shocked. "Wha- Him? Wha-?" He spluttered incredulously. "I can't accept this!" He finally said after regaining himself, though not with complete success. "You would have had a whole kingdom, but you would give that up, for a barbaric people, who live in this god-forsaken corner of the world? Why could you want this?!" There was a tone to his voice, incredulous as it was, that showed that he wasn't disapproving, it had simply caught him so off guard that he couldn't set his mind to it.
Shinn accepted the food but he looked very worried at Anna. He didn't want her to be sick and wanted her to get better.

Tears fell down Miluiel's face. She looked up at her father, "You can accept it father, and you will, or else you don't have me." She bowed her head. She leaned against Azrael, looking for his support. "They are not barbaric father!" She said in a stronger tone. "I want there to be peace! That is one small reason why we married, the other reason is after we met we fell in love! deep love, something far greatest than what I had with Tanis, that was false. Tanis has found a new love as well. Father please accept my choice. Take Azrael as your Son. Let this be our binding of piece."
Tanis opened his mouth to laugh. Bubbles floated to the surface. He closed his mouth remembering again that he could not do that. He smiled, finding it funny.

“Here you go my little star. Drink this to get your strength back up and get better soon. You shouldn’t have been there to sense a spirit like that till you were old enough to sense such things. Little Shinn in our people, we sense spirits much like you but in my little Anna it affects her in a more physical sense that she sees their auras. She saw it in your uncle. It made her physically ill. She’ll be okay after she drinks this.” Ursa sat down with them as she hugged both of them gently in her arms. ‘Tanis and Helena return to the Werewolf village and be sure to give my husband the meal I prepared him. It shall be waiting for you when you make your way to the shore.’
Anna nodded to her momma as she drank what was brought to her. She was happy that her new friend was here with her as she held his hand suddenly. It was just an impulse she did as she saw his aura as well being one that was gentle and fun filled to her.
Helena smiled as she kissed his lips between breathing a little air into them and holding it. She indicated to the surface clearly showing that she was possibly ready to return to the village now. She was sure Ursa had things handled with the kids and she heard Ursa’s message too. They had their time alone now it was time they returned as she broke the kiss and smiled at him. She wished they would have more time alone, but that would come at a later time as she was sure they would have that when they were married.

Talithan was quite surprised at his daughter's tone and fell silent, thinking on what she had said. He sighed and gathered his thoughts. So... that is why they had that affection. I was a fool. I am an old fool indeed. Talithan looked up and sighed sadly. "I could not bring bear to lose you. I will accept your love for each other. And perhaps I was... presumptuous in my accusations. Azrael... my son. I accept you into our family. I am sure that you will provide well for my daughter and are a strong ruler." He said to him. At this point Talithan gave Azrael an appraising look, and found that he liked what he saw in him. "You certainly have very strong eyes." He said. "I do hope that if you are going to remain here instead of moving in at home that you at least visit to bring your mother and brother the news."
Azrael gave a weak smile. "To be honest, we hadn't officially decided on that." He said to Talithan. "In fact... I promised that I would help with solving the issue and with rebuilding to Miluiel... I suppose that we could use this opportunity to visit your home and make that decision. Along with my... mean our son." He said smiling at Miluiel.
Talithan blinked in surprise. "You... have a child?" He inquired. "I suppose that I shall go down in the records as having the most curious family tree." He said with a small chuckle.
Shinn giggled at Anna's sudden movement and smiled at the corners of his snout. "Yay!" He said. Shinn ate a piece of his meat happily. It tasted different from the way his father did it, but he still liked it.

Miluiel jumped at her father and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you father!" She said holding him tightly. "If it is alright with Azrael then of course I will return home and tell mum. I hope to help rebuild our home also!" Miluiel's hand shook, not with fear but with joy! "Would that be alright Azrael?" Giggling Miluiel corrected her father, "Yes, he is Azrael's child. I have adopted him into my heart. He is now my son, and a charming young boy."
Tanis nodded and followed Helena. He hung back, waiting for her to break the surface first.

Anna smiled as she looked at Shinn then her mother. She was happy right now she had two of the people she enjoyed being around with her right now.
“I’ve sent Tanis and Helena to go back to the werewolf village. They are to take your father, my little star his food. I’m sure they’ll deliver the news that you two are doing fine as well. Though I’m sure your father already senses this.”
Morte did indeed sense it as he smiled. “So, she’s sending those two back and with food. I can’t wait. I hope they enjoyed themselves, least for the time they had. I’m sure Helena went through torture not being able to come here.”
Helena would break the surface first as she waited for him. Her long blonde hair would mat the front of her face a bit as she pushed it aside a bit. She was smiling as she realized how far they had gone from shore. She could see the basket with the food though meant for Morte as she nodded about. She wouldn’t begin swimming for shore till she knew Tanis had surfaced.

Azrael nodded and smiled. "I would not mind at all. I would very much like to see your home, Miluiel. I promised that I would help you rebuild after all." He gave Miluiel a very bright look. "I'm sure that Shinn would like to see your home too. A choice that we must make as a family, is where we should settle in." He said to her.
Talithan smiled. "I wish to meet the boy. Where is he now?" He asked curiously.
"He is currently somewhere where he wouldn't have to face his uncle. It would have been bad for him to deal with him. Very unhealthy." He explained. "He should be back soon enough. I wish for him to have his fun with his friend for a little while. Now can I get you something? Perhaps get you something to eat?" He inquired of Talithan standing up.
Logain stood on the terrace, looking out at the town in front of him. He shut his eyes and opened himself to the auras in the town. They were suffering auras, tired, fearful. This unfortunately was the status quo for the most part. He caught his attention when he came across a distortion in the mass of auras. Initially, he wouldn't have noticed immediately, as it seemed that a very fine string of aura latched to one person, in an unnatural fashion. Some form of magic. The fact that so many of these stings were latched onto one individual. He narrowed his eyes, and went inside, making his way down the staircase, and was soon out the door in the light rain, walking toward the town.

Miluiel looked up at Azrael, she stood up with him and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you my dear. I am so happy that you will let me help them." She snuggled against him, and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, the first she had given his human lips since they had been married. "That is right, we haven't had breakfast yet." She said smiling.
Tanis followed Helena. "Are we going to go pick up Shinn?" He asked, "That way Azrael and Miluiel will not have to. I think that they would enjoy that!"
