Hariel nodds, "Shadowsage. She is comming with us as well. She is waiting for us at council with Alaric."
Anubis says, "Alaric, the Crane? Is he comming too?"
Hariel shruggs, "Kaylyn-san asked him to."

"You damn people!" Batrias shouts. "Why wait? Who is this person? What does it matter? I say go now, or you might as well just hang a sign outside this camp that says 'invade with impunity, please.' For crying out loud, we can't let them get away with this!"

Anubis growls, but Hariel keeps his cool.
"Because we don't want to get ourselves killed," Hariel says, "Shadowsage is one of the most powerful people here. If we go now, we endanger all the innocents here. They won't attack again, not with Dannin out of the fight. An all out war is soon, but we still have time."

Talpa strode out into the day, his mind focused on his next task. He came before Saberstryke's tent to find Dannin inside. Well, if they wanted to have some fun together, Talpa supposed he didn't really mind.
"Dannin of the Bright Flame," Talpa says, "There is something that I must tell you."

Dannin looks up, bowing her head slightly.
"As you wish my Lord," she says.

Talpa continues, "I have asked you to bring me the armor of Bright Flame, but I do not remember giving you permission to carry it. Give the armor to me, Dannin. This is a command from your lord and master."

Dannin stands, starting to raise her hand to give him the armor she wore. Then suddenly, her eyes flash and her hand jerks back. Her eyes are cat-like and she speaks like the Lady of the Flames and as a Wildcat again.
"You cannot have it," she says, "only a warrior with the blood of Hyrosha can weild this armor."

"Dannin," Talpa intones, "It is not my intention to wear it. Do not anger me by assuming you know my mind when I have not told it to you. The Bright Flame armor is but one part of a plan I have set in place to conquer the mortal world. Now, give it to me!"

An unfelt wind wind blows Dannin's black hair back. Her eyes continue to glow. She stands at her full height, looking at Talpa's face.
"You shall not have it," she says, "only one of the Wildcats can control the power and even if never used, if will consume you."

"Very well," Talpa says, restraining the urge to punish Dannin for her impudence. "When the time comes, you shall use the Bright Flame armor to provide me with the power I need. You do remember that you struck a bargain? You must make sure you keep to it."
Saberstryke, sitting on his cot and listening speaks up. "Talpa, what is your plan? Perhaps I can help you."
Talpa glances in Saberstryke's direction, his eyes flaring red to deflate the question.

"You have my loyalty my Lord," Dannin says, the power around her fading to the controled minion she was.
She glances over at Saberstryke as he asks the question, and flashes him a quiet smile.

"Do not make me doubt you again," Talpa says, and stomps away.
Saberstyrke pushes a palm to his eyes. "Okay, what was that about?"

"I...don't know," Dannin says quietly, "he asked me for the armor I retained from the fight. I went to give it to him and something else took over. I can't explain it."

Saberstyke suddenly remembers the words of his dream. He tries to let his mouth speak them out loud, but he says instead, "This is not the Talpa I have known. Something is definitely going on. I'd say that, before long, we'll have a war on our hands."

Dannin sighs, falling to sit on the tent floor.
"I think the war has started, the fighting has as yet to begin," she says.
