Once Shera released her Kayla stepped back and fell soundly on her rear. The continued contact had more of an effect on Kayla not that she had known yet. She was crying as she scooted herself away from Shera. Her ankles were sore from the rough grip that paralyzed her temporarily.
It took several minutes to fly back. Jin made a few comments along the way making Celeron wonder further if this priest was really in the right frame of mind but soon enough they would make it back to town.
"Thanks for the ride big guy. I'm glad I wasn't to much of a burden for you to carry." Jin said as they entered the gate.
"Jin...about Shera...the other person you saw with the condition what happened to them?" Celeron said now that the other problem was solved.
Jin lost his smile for a moment as he looked thoughtful. "They were a traveler like me. I only met them once so I can't say much about it but they had hair of Winter white and red eyes like a fiend in a rage."

“Celeron….help…Kayla…help…” Shera continued to make her cries for her help even as she held her head. Her platinum hair now covering her face as she rocked back and forth, she wanted help but not to die. She knew the poison was taking too much control of her as she looked about like a mad woman. She’d eventually find the strength to stand up as she limped a little towards the bathroom away from Kayla. She’d make her way to the tub and drop to the ground with her hand in the water as she breathed deeply sitting there near the tub. She couldn’t face Kayla knowing she hurt her. Her wings drooping as she kept turned away from Kayla.

Logain sighed. "Then I will not try to dissuade you from your decisions." He said. "But I do ask that you think on whether this vengeance you seek will truly fill whatever gap it may have caused in you." He said. "It was a pleasure to speak with you, Alunn." Logain said with a respectful bow before making his own way out of the alley.
Azrael thought for a few moments. "No, I could visit your home. If you live in the trees then I think should be very comfortable there." He said. "And since there are not many travelers of late, then nature will close enough on the roads." He said to his wife.
Shinn hopped up and waved to his parents. "Opau! Amau! Over here!" He cried to them happily.
Azrael smiled and looked up, his sensitive ears hearing his sons calls. "I believe he's just over there." He commented.

Miluiel smiled, genuinely happy. "Shinn!" She called to him. Taking Azrael's hand she ran towards Shinn. "I look forward to the time we have out trip then. I hope that it will go alright."

"As do I." Azrael said letting Miluiel pull him toward Shinn. It was so good to see his son so happy with his new mother. It gave him a great comfort.
Shinn dashed up and hugged Miluiel's leg tightly. "I missed you Amau!" Shinn said with a soft giggle.
Talithan smiled. "I had intended something like that. Though it would do Miluiel's mother well to see it. So I will wait until we are at home to do it. I want people the witness what has happened between them, and how things will be in the future." He looked to Helena and shook his head. "No, no thank you. I still have water in this waterskin, but I think you could use something to wet your thirst.... If only I could actually offer, but it is neither my home, nor am I able to procure any. Who are Shana and Mazzia?" He asked curiously.

"You seem to think the revenge of mine is to kill. My revenge is very different and a lot more fulfilling. Besides, I'm a pacifist. It was a very good conversation, Logain, you might be the only real friend I ever make" Alunn called to Logain before leaving.

“Shana and Mazzia are family of Azrael. If I see them they can show me where the water is so that I can get some at least for us, I’m sure Tanis is at least thirsty.” Helena kept her tone gentle as she looked at Talithan. She didn’t want to frighten him any by the fact that Azrael had siblings. She thought of going to get some as she looked at Tanis gently knowing it might be best to leave him with Talithan for now while she searched for Shana or Mazzia so that she could get some water. “I’ll return shortly. I’ll search for them so that I can get some water for us.” With that she was up and already out of the den in search of Mazzia and Shana.
Ursa would smile as she looked at Shinn hugging Miluiel. “He’s been a very good boy and he at all the meat that was given to him for breakfast. Are you two hungry? I’m sure we still have some meat and berries left inside if you are.”
“Play?” Anna looked at Shinn as she hugged her mother obviously still a little sick.
“No my star, when you are better you can visit their village again if they will have you and you can play with Shinn then.”

Miluiel slid down to her knees, careful not to hit Shinn. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed his head. "Hey there little guy." She said ruffling his fur. "I missed you also." She wrapped her arms tightly around her little boy. She smiled at Ursa. "We were going to go find something in the forest I think." she said looking up at Azrael. "On the other hand I am glad to hear that he was a good boy." she said kissing his head again.
Tanis opened his mouth to speak, but Helena was already gone. He closed his mouth, blushing with a sheepish smile on his face. "Yes, I think that Miluiel's mother would very much want to see her daughter wed." Tanis agreed.

Celeron and Jin found their way to the hotel. It had only been a few hours since Celeron left but it seemed an eternity away from Shera and Kayla. Especially with Jin the traveling priest going off about strange facts that had no relevance to anything at all.
Celeron knocked on the door and called into the girls. He didn't want them more spooked then they already were when he heard Kayla crying. Urgency filled him as he forced his way into the door slamming it open.
The first thing he saw was Kayla crying by the bed. At least he thought it was Kayla. Her hair had changed colors since he was gone and as she looked at him through her tear stained face he could see the red glint in her eyes.
"Jin look after her. I need to find Shera." Celeron said as he looked around and heard a noise from the bathroom. He was a little scared but braced himself as he ran in to find her clenching to the side of the tub.
"Shera? What happened here are you and Kayla alright?" Celeron asked as he gently put his hand on her shoulder.
When Jin came near her Kayla panicked and tried to run but her hurt ankles denied her the ability to flee and she crashed helplessly to the floor.
"There, there child. I am not going to hurt you I just want to make sure you are okay Jin said as he touched her forehead. He felt a little strange and released her. "How curious. I knew there was something strange about your chakra child. I just never realized it was something like this."

“Help…poison…Help…” Shera could only repeat what was the problem as it seems she felt into the water after trying to get up. She’d successfully do this only to fall into the tub and the water. Her mental status was far from recognizing at the moment. She knew he was Celeron but was trying to protect him from getting hurt as she sat in the tub getting soaked with eyes that looked like that of someone going mad. She’d sit there almost like she didn’t know any better and her train of thought was being attacked by the poison itself in her body. It had finally progressed to a stage that Shera even with her powers could not fight it alone.

Celeron had to make sure Shera stayed above the water as Jin came in.
"Hope I am not interrupting anything but oh my..." Jin said as he saw the mad look within Shera's eyes. "Your friend is definitely not doing well at all. Has she suffered this condition before?"
"Not that I know. Is there anything we can do for her?" Celeron said as Shera grasped him firmly.
"I might be able to help her...but my tools are at the temple. We should head out immediately." Jin said moving out of the room absently as he went to Kayla and picked her up in his arms. Kayla was surprisingly silent even though he was terrifying her moment's ago. "Come now let us not dawdle Celeron."
"Sorry Shera. If there is a chance to help I will do my best." Celeron said as he held her tightly as he tried to escort her. He took off his coat and wrapped it around her shoulders.

Shera would struggle slightly from being grasp so almost like her will was taken away. She wanted free. She couldn’t fight Celeron however as she went limp in his arms as just tilted her head against him. She didn’t bite or fight him, just followed him knowing it was for the best. It had to be. She would then look around at where she was as she started crying out poison in her body again in mutters, not to harm Celeron or Jin, but her insanity seemed to be the cause of this.

"Hang on my love the temple is in the northern part of town. We will be there in less then a few minutes." Celeron said into Shera's ear. He would continue to try to sooth e her as best her could considering the state she was in. Before long the temple Jin was staying in came into view.
"Hurry and bring her inside. I will leave the young one with you as I get my tools." Jin said as he put Kayla down in a room with a comfortable looking bed in it. He then dashed out of the room without a word.
Celeron placed Shera on teh bed and put his hand against her brow. he could hear and see her ragged breathing and her sense of reality seemed to be dwindling. "Just a little longer love. Hang in there."

Shera breathed raggedly as she was fighting a war within herself. The healer in herself was fighting with a poison that wanted to win and she wasn’t going to let it. For that alone her mine was slipping away as she continued her cries for help despite help being there. Her entire body was glowing with healing energy to the point she could tax all her healing energy at any given time. It just wasn’t sure when that it would happen as she looked around wildly.
Why was she in this room now? Why had she been moved? So many questions filled her mind as she looked around. Her sane mind was far from reach as she looked at Celeron dead on upon the face finally. It was the first time in ages but it was one saying help me on it.

Logain smiled sadly as he walked away. Revenge is still revenge. Whether you kill someone or not. It only causes an unending vicious circle... especially for those who have had no part in it. He thought to himself. As he wandered through the town he sensed a strong force, one that seemed to be in dire straights. His pace quickened as he followed his senses, a strong aura calling in plain.
"I am glad he caused no trouble. We were going to scrounge some berries and hunt on our way back home." Azrael said. "I don't want to keep our guests too long. But another time would be excellent. Thank you for your kind offer and watching my son." He told Ursa.
Shinn giggled brightly snuggled against Miluiel's chest.
Mazzia had been walking through the village, having just finished checking on a sick cub, when she came across Helena. "Oh, gishura Helena!" She said surprised. "You seem to be looking for something." She said observing the look on her face.
