Sin beamed at Issildia when she called him an 'idealist' watching her move the shadows about the fire brought his legs up and rested his arms over his knees.
"even if we did... your not just shadows and I'm not just light... If we live in a world of absoultes wouldn't that mean that absolutely nothing is absolute? Sure the shadow might prevail once the light goes out... but doesn't that mean the shadows also fail? becouse the shadows need light like the light needs shadows... there is a place for everything in this world... even a place for a fool like me"
He smiled at Issildia and then rested his head on his knees. He then looked at the fire and his eyes glazed over as he watched the light dance around their camp.
"even a place for you too Issildia... finding that place is half the fun of life..."

Exhausted, the silver wolf panted heavily, his pace educed to a trot, his limbs and body sore from overexertion. Lake Veldan was near and he would rest for a short while after he reached it. As he reached it, he lowered his head, sniffing the edges of the ice. After moments of sniffing, he lowered his tongue to the ice, running it across it several time, gathering the frost, into his his mouth and letting it melt down his throat quenching his thirst slightly. After a few minues, he raised his head, looking around, through the snow, at his surroundings. He sniffed the air in several directions, the scent of people and horses still in the air. After a moment, he darted off into, what he thought was the right direction, his pace though fast, seeming slow, compared to his usual pace.
After a few hours, his pace to a light pad, as he treaded through the thin snow. He now blended into the snow almost completely, his coat full from the falling snow. The scent became stronger, as he continued to follow its trail through the cold air. He stopped occsionally, sigging into the snow with his muzzle, eating it, helping to quench his thirst. A light caught his eye off in the distance, perking his ears up towards the direction to where what seemed to be a camp and a fire. He began his light pad once more, his paws crunching in the thin snow. Soon he neared the camp and its occupants, hearing their familiar voices carried in the air.

Issildia was about to reply to Sin when she heard the dry crunch of snow as something approached the campsite; her sight flickered over to the infrared spectrum granted by her celtarie blood, and her senses expanded outwards, using the shadows as a medium.
"A wolf." she said distantly, her hand silently moving to rest on the hilt of her sword as she slowly came to her feet.

Sin reached into the fire and pilled out a small ball of fire. Holding it for a moment he suddenly whipped it over in the direction where Issildia was looking and the ball of fire flew through the air like a small comet and once it made it into the trees Poped like a fire cracker and lit up the area with light for a moment.
Looking over his sholder Sin scanned the area for a second spotting the wolf at the edge of the trees.
"yep... thats a wolf alright... a brave one too by the looks of it... to come so close to the fire..."

((aww..short))
The wolf's ears perked up hearing movement. His eyes caught the ball of fire as he watched it sail overhead, the area around him lighting up. He continued forward into the camp. He sat softly, at the edge of the light of the fire, watching the moment of either of them, his luminous yellow eyes dancing with the light. The dancing firelight combined with his rough expression gave him almost a sinister look.

Issildia's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched the creature.
"No...not a wolf." she replied to Sin as her sword came free of it's sheath. Yet she made no move to advance upon the beast. There was something familiar about it, yet something else that was completely foreign.

"Even I can tell that at this point..."
Sin looked at Issildia first then over to the wolf sitting at the edge of the fire.
"So I wonder if it will actually say something or just sit there acting all cryptic like that...."

The large silver wolf continued to eye either of them. After a moment he let out a growl as he rose up onto all fours, then onto his hind legs, his limbs thickening, as digits formed from his paws, His body to also changed form, becoming taller as the thick coat of fur, receded into his body, revealing his marked and runed skin.
Kegawa stood before them, a sly smirk across his face. He brushed his dreaded hair from his face, gazing at them, his luminous yellow eyes unchanged by the transformation.

Issildia was not at all surprised by the wolf being a valtera or at least something of valtera blood, but she was left slightly speechless as she realized the origin of the familiarity she has sensed.
"Kishoku..." she said, though instead of lowering her blade, her guard remained up, for obviously something had changed within the entity known as Kishoku of whom they had met while traveling to Meradea. Like many others it seemed that he was not what he had once been.

"No.." He shook his head. " I am no longer Kishoku. I am Kegawa of the Flesh." He glanced at her sword momentarily, sesning her doubt of him. "I havent come against you.. I am still who I once was. I have only changed physically." He spoke half truth. He knew his appearance was not only change that had occured, having felt something else in him deep in his soul, hadn't thought much of it.

"I see..." Issildia replied, still with her doubts. "If this is true then why are you here?"
As she spoke she circled around behind Sin, her blade held off to the side as she moved towards Kegawa. Her sight completely moving into the infrared spectrum of the celtarie to carefully watch his movements in case his words were to be found false.

Kewaga quirked a brow, he actually had no specific reason for traveling such a great distance just to find them. He shrugged slightly as he thought for a moment, "I'm not exactly sure, I just came to help, like I had before.. But even then, you never stopped to ask why I would throw myself in danger to help before. And even for that I have no reason." He quirked a brow suddenly, his eyes shifting around around, " Speaking of which.. Where is sylph?"

"I never asked of your motives because we had little choice, survival was paramount at that point in time." she countered before her expression darkened at his mention of Sylph.
"She was...taken...At this moment we do not know exactly where she is, though I am certain that she is somewhere in Trenius Sekia. Which is where we are now traveling to." she added.

"I see." His voice lowered as he stared into the flames of the fire. "Tell me.. Are you guying there for her, or do you have other business to attend to? You never cared for her much if I remembered correctly." Visions of the night they all met floated through his mind, having rescued her from wolves the first time. He gazed up towards Issildia once more, watching her from across the fire.

"Should we find her on our way to discovering what exactly happened at the battle of Faltora they we may attempt to get her back. But no, we are not going into Trenius Sekia only to find Sylph." Issildia replied.
"Tell me did you ever realize why she was with us in the first place? Do you know what sort of person she is?" she asked with slight disdain.
