"Come... Go?" The male looked startled, hesitating a little as he glanced at his mother. At his sister's side nudge, he jolted up; the father would never forgive him if he stayed! He would be nothing more than just the family dinner if he stayed, and anyway, Tsu was right... His mother needed him to be here. If the father and twins go after them, he could fight them off and protect this family.
His real family.
Razou gave a quick nod, "Lets go quick... The father and the twins will be coming back here soon. The twins are obsessed with him, and they will do more than just kill you if they see you." He paused, looking at his mother again, "Where are we going to? To this... Grandfather?"

I am... I'm even arguing with myself... how pitiful am I.... Home? This is home, where I belong... Healed? What....
As the thoughts played out within her mind and the interaction from her daughter, it triggered Liqui to blink through the blinding light as she saw the form of the white male. Opening her maw she stared directly at him, continuing to clear her sight and lift her head form it's side lying position "Who..." She stopped briefly... her voice worked... Just. It was a weak voice but at least words had some out.
Peering about her quickly to noticed that neither Luci or the twins where present, only Razou and Tsu, when had they gotten so big? How long had she been facing the save wall.
I really am a terrible mother...
"I'm sorry... Tsuyoshi... Razou... I..." He head fell back to the floor as silent tears fell down her cheek, the bit she regretted most, through all this was her lack of interaction with them for... how long had it been? She didn't even know, but she could of sworn neither of them where that big that last time she actually saw them. Liqui had broken out of her self pitying cycle of thoughts but she was barely aware of what was going on around her and still threatened to retreat within her own skull without even meaning to.

From Ice;
“I promise to allow no more harm to befall your mother.” He assured Tsu with a slight bow. Before giving a nod to the son “Indeed, to your grandfather who sent me to find his daughter, he is kind and loving, those emotions are what Liqui needs to have around her once more.”
You are not a terrible mother you just never where physically able to show how good of a mother you could be. He reminded her quietly.
Nemamiah’s clear sky blue eyes drifted back to Liqui as she spoke, “I am Nemamiah, Liqui, I was sent to help you and your children, to take you home and away from this dark place.” He looked softly at Liqui “You have done nothing wrong Liqui come let’s now leave this place.”
He nodded to the pair of siblings. “We should leave quickly then before Lucifer and your other siblings return.”

Tsu nodded to her brother, then the male named Nema. She knew this needed to be done, and as the angelic lion had said, it had to be done now. But first she had to say something. The apology had struck her heart in a place she didn't know existed. Tsu nosed her Mother affectionatly, then whispered gently, lovingly. "It's not your fault...I don't blame you for anything Mother...and I l...love you..."
A weight seemed to have dropped from her shoulders as she spoke her true feelings. Now they needed to go. She gave her brother a nod before moving Liqui's upper body over her shoulders. "Brother...help me...help Mother..."

"It'll probably be easier and safer... If I carried her myself, Tsu," He offered as gently as possible - he had the advantage size and strength wise, being born a male, and besides, the risk of dropping their mother would be lesser if he carried her alone. He really hoped his sister would understand... The feeling of trying to communicate made him feel awkward, and he shifted his paws, trying to rid himself of the feeling.
He made his way to the other side of his mother from his sister, and without as much difficultly, pushed himself under her. Then, careful not to hurt Liqui, he stood up so that she was slung over his back, like a lion-styled piggy back ride.
"She's light," He commented, frowning a little - were lionesses supposed to be so light? Or could is be that she hadn't been eating well and had lost so much weight due to that? He hung his head, his frown deepening. Then, he muttered softly, "No... I'm the sorry one, mother."
Turning to Nemamiah, he nodded, "Lead the way."

"Daddy..." she could hear the voices around her now and was sourly aware that she had never had a chance to inform her mother or father of her situation...
I'm a bad daughter too....
As his voice filled her mind she took note in the difference, she hadn't been arguing with herself this time, she'd been arguing with this new male. "I am... I did nothing.. I.. I couldn't... but... at least it was me, not them..." Her voice was but a whisper, tears silently streaming down her cheeks. In the light it was obvious that she was undernourished. Being fed only when there was spares and by whom she was never aware, was it Luci to keep her alive to have a vent for his frustration? Or perhaps her children taking pity and keeping her alive... maybe it wasn't pity... maybe they enjoyed seeing her broken and bruised.... She couldn't blame them either way she was in her mind the worst mother on the Isle.
"Leave?!" She started in protest though trying to raise her voice only proved painful and she quickly altered to her hushed whisper again. "No! He'll find me.. he'll hurt them, everyone... he.. he doesn't know of mother... father... Melaine, Leiko..." She was frantically searching her memory as the names and feelings flooded back, warming her heart in her desperate plee to protect them. "Enki.. Inabi, Mahina...."
Liqui was in no condition to back up her plee, she still could barely lift her head let alone hold her weight and she felt helpless as her paws swayed, her tail and wings shagging on top of her own son's back. "I Love you both... so very much... I... I couldn't live if you got hurt, he won't suspect if you go... leave me... I'll for fill my punishment soon enough.. then.." She bit her lip, unable to finish the sentence, then she would finally die and be released of this Isle and this world.
There was no doubt her ribs would be poking her own son through her thin and unkept fur, she looked a complete mess, the bags under her eyes the size of boulders. Everything was happening so fast, Liqui's eyes started to glaze she became dizzy and clung to consciousness, there was no telling the last time she'd drunk anything.

"I won't let Lucifer hurt you anymore Liqui," Razou picked up his mother on his back and Nemamiah made his way to the cave entrance again "This way, I saw you're sister's earlier as I entered this territory they were driving off another male lion."
Nema spread his gold tipped wings wide and leaped off the cliff he flapped once and rose higher in the air. The quicker they got out of the Devils territory the better, the sooner they could adjust course toward Chagi's territory.
"We have to leave this territory as soon as possible."

Spreading his own wings, Razou nodded. He flexed his wing muscles, getting ready to take to the air. Looking down the cliff, he frowned; if he jumped and then glide, there was the risk of dropping his mother down to her doom. Looking down at the ground beneath his feet, he flapped his wings a few times, as if to test how much power he would need to lift off the ground with the extra weight.
"Trust Nemamiah, Tsu and I, mother," He muttered, jumping off the ground and hovering an inch above it for a moment. Determining the strength he needed, he gave one strong flap of his wing before soaring after the other male, careful not to tip his body. "If the father comes after us, I will stop him myself."

Tsu quickly followed Nema and Razou, running off the cliff and flapping her wings in a more fluid motion until wind currents caught them, lifting her higher up. As her brother flew steadily, she dove beneath him, prepared to catch their Mother should she fall.
"No brother, you are carrying Mother. If Father comes, I will hold him back...maybe I'll finally be able to use these cursed horns on him..." With a snort she held back, staying farther behind, watching and listening for the slightest sign of the red devil.

Forcing her eyes to stay open she lazily looked around her, not by choice, the air had changed. The bitter cool of the breeze the only thing allowing her brain to stay functional, her body still motionless though Razou would be able to feel her breathing still. She was lost for words now, lacking the energy to speak or protest anymore. Simply she lay sprawled over her own sons back as they all three took flight and headed away, all she could do was let a single tear fall as her head flopped. It showed the cave and it's distance rapidly becoming further away... so many memories, both good and bad, though mostly bad.
The most prominent memory being that of her four cubs being born, and feeling the structure of Raz underneath of her she was flooded with pride, a broad smile enveloping her face. There wasn't much she could do now... she tried to focus on varying objects that flittered into her sight though they quickly became blurs and within moments she'd slackened completely and fallen into unconsciousness.

Nema glanced at Razou, Liqui had passed out on his back. Nema flew ahead of the three leading them to their freedom with every passing wing beat. The sky seemed to get brighter as they continued out of Lucifer's territory.

"You won't be able to chase the father away or hold him back if he brings the twins along though, Tsu," Razou mused out loud with a slight frown. He paused, then continued, "Then again, neither can I, probably... However, the chance of that should be pretty slim for now." He gave his wings another strong flap, gliding through the air until he was closer to Nema.
"How far away is this... This grandfather?"

Tsu simply nodded, fully aware that her brother could not see it. As the two males flew ahead faster she sped up as well, gliding up to Nema's other side. It was a little difficult staying that fast for a moment. As Razou asked the question, Tsu looked to the angel lion wanting an answer as well. Her mother had passed out and it was worrying her.

"A decent flight, but your mother will make it fine." he promised "We'll pause to hunt and find water, your mother most likely hasn't eaten or drank much since she'd been there." But Nema would make sure they were out of Lucifers territory first before pausing.
"You Grandfather's territory lies north." he added.

"I think some water will be good... We'll e out of the father's territory in a while, after all." The male nodded in agreement, throwing a quick backward glance at his sister; who knew the day would come when they would talk without snapping at each other, and all because of a new acquaintance and their shared mother? Something stirred in his heart, and Razou gave a small smile unconsciously.
