Kocerou touched Target lightly on the neck to signal for him to stop. He sat up straight, staring straight ahead at the darkness that shrouded the gleaming strands at the dragon's feet.
"I'm in no mood for your games, Sain," the Prince said evenly, "You know why I'm here. Either give me the knowledge I seek or let me be to find it myself."

Target was alarmed by the voice if anything it put him little more on edge than before with the darkness. When he felt the light tap, he stop, 'ok target what the hell have you gotten yourself into now' he thought to himself as his tail swished irritatedly at the fact that he has little sight.

"If you come seeking information it would be prudent to be more polite in the asking." Risen growled at the Fae prince. "You are in no position to demand passage here."

"The Blessed Path is open to any who know how to walk it," Kocerou said warily, "You aren't Sain. You're new. That doesn't happen very often... interesting. Now, you have no right to stop me. Either tell me what I wish to know or step aside and let us pass to find the answers on our own. My people can wield the Blessed magic regardless of your master's desire - we have a right to this place."

Target then wonder how many times has the Prince tried this, and there was that tone in the Prince's voice that irritated the hell out of him.
"How many times have you tried this?"
Target got to nerve to ask now.

"Kocerou, you are both right and wrong. And at this rate it doesn't matter the result of the war you are in. The thing you most want to avoid will happen either way. War always bring ruin to where ever it takes place. There are your answers." Risen said matter of factly.

The Prince's agitation was obvious. That apparently wasn't the answer he was looking for.
"War will always bring ruin," he snapped, "I knew that when I started this. But so long as the forest remains intact it will be worth the lives that are lost. Tell me - can I save it? What is going to happen to it?"
And then in a low voice he added to Target, "This is my third attempt. Once when I was crowned Prince and once when I saw the first signs of decay in the forest."

Target then wonder war... forest being damage. A tree down grows many more trees over time. So he thought that is how that all worked out.
"Worth the Lives Lost, Do you plan on being a part of that count Kocerou.."
Target was stern with that statement.
" Why couldn't the first answer be just good enough?"
Target assumed that he got this answer before as well.

"What happens to the forest is still in the balance. At this rate it will suffer just as those you are willing to sacrifice." Risen said gravely. "There are things that you have forgotten to factor into your war plans and those things may well bring about your ruin. The threads all weave in that direction." He then looked at Target. "And you Target will be tested in your resilience. Your path is far from easy."

'Ok that was desturbing, who ever he is, knows my name.' Target just looked in a spot he felt like was the right spot to direct his attention at. "Tell me something I don't know, Life is difficult, or have you not experienced it?" Target was getting a little too defensive, and it triggered it that the shadow stalker knows his name and he has yet to know who or what he has confronted, not that it mattered, it was just plain rude. Especially he going on to talk about his resilience... what kind of fancy talk is that.

Kocerou let out a string of angry syllables that could only be vulgar eptithats in his native language. His muscles were tight and his hand curled in Target's mane. When he had expended his anger he switched back to the dragon language.
"Hush Target, I'll answer your questions when we are gone from here," he murmured, "I have one more question, Blessed. I doubt you will tell me what these things are I am not aware of... that is not your way."
He sounded bitter.
"Nor will you allow me to progress further on this path, I assume, else you would not have stopped me here. But my people have often said that the threads of fate can change and that what you see is only possibilities, albeit some stronger than others. All fates lead to ruin? Or is there hope of them changing to the salvation of my people? I am prepared to make what sacrifices are necessary... even at the expense of my pride."

"There is no point for you to try further down the path. And current events can change the future from the most likely fate if you make the right choices. I understand why you have made the choices you have young prince. It is possible for you to save your people, the forest, and even your pride but I cannot tell you how. That is for you to discover." Risen said even as he watched them. "You are smart enough though and willing so I think you will succeed in your task."

"Very well. As always, I thank you for your gracious gift of wisdom in this matter. Fare well, new-Blessed. Target, I am satisfied with my answers. Tell me when you are content with your own curiosity and I will return us to the ravine."
Surprisingly enough, there was no sarcasm in his voice.

Target stayed silent as tighten his grip in his mane and Kocerou continue talking with the blessed... this was far more interesting than scouting and it seems this blessed could possibly ease his thoughts some. Once when he was given permission to speak again, solemnly Target asked into the void that he truthfully wanted to continued forward.
"Bullseye my brother, is he well? Last I saw of him was before we separated, he had a cut on his leg and was surrounded by Fea that were after the Prince." The dragon then swallowed as he now felt like he was shooting questions in the dark that will once again not be answered.

Risen listened to the question and answered the young dragon. "Your brother is alive. He is changed though. That is why I spoke of you needed resilience. While your paths will cross again it may not be in a way you favor."
