Miluiel, still distracted, spoke as soon as his words caught up with her. "Oh yes, they are lovely!" She exclaimed reaching out to touch the plump berries. "What are they called, do you know?" Miluiel asked looking up at Azrael. "I am not familiar with this plant."

With help from each other Celeron and Shera made it back to the hotel safely. Kayla did not choose to attack the both of them in their weakened state regardless of how sinister she seems to have become very recently.
Celeron made his way to the bed barely able to move as he stared up at the ceiling. He couldn't believe what had happened. It all happened so fast and he was caught completely off guard.

“I am going to take a bath Celeron. You rest on the bed. I’ll be just in this room within reach. I promise unless something happens.” Shera would go to the tub that she had bathed with Kayla and drained the water before scrubbing it down then filling it with clean water again. Shera would shower first the stuff off her body which she got perfectly clean, then she would climb into the tub where she chose to relax. That relaxation came at a price. She used too much of her energy and her promise to help Celeron might not fly as she began having troubles breathing. “Cel-eron.” That’s all that she would weakly say.

Celeron's ear picked up the gasp and he jolted trying to run to Shera but ended up collapsing after getting off the bed. Undeterred he forced himself up again and moved slower toward Shera. He got to her in good time as he slunk down to her side unembarrassed about her bare form in the tub.
"I-I am here. Come now love breathe." Celeron said as he helped her recline into a position that allowed her to breath easier. He did his best to hold her like that. No matter how weak he felt he wanted to be ble to support Shera.

“He-healers light….” She knew she was dying as she cast it upon Celeron to return his strength. It was an unconscious notion. She didn’t know if it would work or not. She would give birth to a sword one that would be called to his hands alone. It’d be a double spell as she let the healer’s light extend to Celeron healing him. Her own energy healing as well, just to be used again to form the sword. It would not be like Vertos but be something that Celeron could use against demons and Vertos. “Celeron…a sword is being born from my body…my powers….angelic sword…it’s alive…it will only respond to you…Kayla cannot steal this sword. She touches it…she will die.”
The sword then would appear as if on cue revitalizing Celeron over time while Shera remained too weak to move. Her body had done all it could. She could do no more. She was breathing but extremely tired and would take a great deal of time to awaken again.
Helena looked at Talithan and Tanis. “Tanis here you go. Water.” She’d offer a skin before leaning against him out of exhaustion. “Pardon my liege, I am still in recovery from some events that have left me less than recovered. Tell me of…your home. I cannot say I have a home there considering I was merely a hired warrior.”

"I guess you didn't get it at all. Bummer," A sigh of dissapointment towards the stranger, Karasu shook his head a bit. "Thinking is more complex than it seems. Look guy, I was thinking. Thinking on what my next move will be, where to go next, what to eat next. Flying does take a lot of energy ya know. But yet then again..." Karasu placed his hand on his chin and lost himself in his thoughts again.

"You okay man?" Alunn asked "If you're hungry there is a good food place that I know, cheap as well, great for travelers like bards and acrobats"

Celeron tiredly reached for the sword and as he touched it it seemed to vanish in a flash of lights. It all seemed like a dream to him suddenly as he tried to summon the sword back to his hand and nothing happened. He kissed Shera's forehead feeling a little better as he pulled her from the water and clumsily tried to dry her off. For all the tiredness he felt she went through so much more. After thinking her dry enough Celeron took Shera to his bed and pulled the blankets over them so he could continue to help her by sharing his body heat with her.

Shera’s eyes remained closed almost like she had no energy, no life in her boy. She had given her all to create that sword as she didn’t move any when she was placed in bed with Celeron. Shera barely seemed to turn in her sleep to having her head on his chest. It was weak but there. She was still alive, just highly weak from what she did to help her love. She just had to pray that Kayla would not appear while they were that weak. If she did, she would have to pray the sword revitalized him in time.

A ruckus was happening as an unruly mob began to form outside the inn. The people that harassed Shera previously were all found dead hanging from the roof of peoples' homes. Each of them were gutted and their intestines wrapped around their throats before being left to die.
The panic turned to anger and anger lead to hatred as people blindly blamed the demonic angel for their misfortunes. It did not take them long to find out where she was staying and the angry crowd attacked the poor inn.
Celeron opened his eyes after they had been resting for a little while. The sound of angry people calling for blood was never a good sign as he looked out the window cautiously to see a crowd forcing their way into the inn. He heard footsteps in the hall way as other doors were forced open. Celeron ran forward and pulled the dresser in front of the door just in time as people tried pushing their door open. Celeron although fatigued some he wrapped Shera in the blanket and braced himself for a daring escape.

“Stratos…” Shera would weakly call out the swords name that Celeron had no practice in using as she nuzzled close to him.
As Celeron was ready to escape through the window a bright light filled the room as a sword hovered before him. As surprised as he was the sword he saw before was not an illusion he was even more surprised when it spoke.
“You want to live right? Well then use me alright! I was forged from her love for you and her power.” The sword would speak this to him even though it had no noticeable mouth. "Take my hilt and call my name Stratos. I can heal both you and Shera but each time you do it shortens my power. So be careful cause I will have to rest afterward to recharge. Now do it unless you like her just laying like that unable to do anything and you without an escape plan or route.”
*Celeron used with Doc Persona's permission*

Celeron was flabbergasted by the swords sharp tongue.
"I have an escape plan you blasted weapon but if you have the ability to give us both energy it will be much easier." Celeron said as he took the sword in his hand. The handle was warm to the tough as he raised it up and in a bold voice said "Stratos!"
The light from the sword increased as he felt it flow through his hand. He put Shera down on the bed in hopes to give her enough energy to escape he put her hand on the handle as well as he put his hands on top of her's"

"But I'm not a bard, my singing sucks. And I'm no acrobat either. I'm just a simple tengu." Karasu said with irritation.

“Stratos….” Her voice came out weakly as she managed grasp Celeron’s hand. She wasn’t fully healed yet. She was healed only enough to move finally. The sword had given most of its power to Celeron while enough to hug Celeron. Her body didn’t have the paint that was on in anymore. “Celeron…” She would hug him gently before looking about. "What’s going on ?"

"I am nearly out of strength. I leave the rest to both of you. Neither of you better die on me." Stratos said as it seemed to explode into thousands of tiny lights and into Celeron's chest.
"I'll explain later my love. We must escape though." Celeron said as the door leading into their room was smashed to pieces and men came in with torches and weapons.
"Where is the demon? Where are you hiding it?" The head man yelled in Celeron's face as he grabbed Celeron by his shirt. I will have her head for what she did to my son and his friends!"
"I don't know what you are talking about sir but if you do not stop yelling and you do not stop shaking me I will be less then restrained in my actions." Celeron said coldly stareing the man down.
"You can't lie to me demon hunter. You are famous around here and more then a few people saw you with the red eye angel. Only she would have been able to do such a horrible act." The man said finally releasing Celeron.
Celeron was grateful that Jin was able to help Shera more then ever know that here eyes were no longer red. The ignorant masses probably wouldn't even recognize her. He just had to bluff his way out of this. He didn't want to fight all these people they were just scared of an unknown enemy and lashing out against what they know.
"I took the woman you speak of into custody earlier she is presently not in your town but also not free to move as she pleases. Whoever did this tragic thing to your son must still be in the town. I suggest you use your determination and minds to find out who the real villain is." Celeron said calmer now as he held Shera's hand in his own. "The only other person here know is my partner and myself. Go ahead and check our room if it will satisfy you."
