"No!" The thought of her daughters being mixed up in this make her knes turn to jelly. There was no way around it, she would have to leave. Malis would take care of Irlina and Santiel. There were the other foals that had been rescued they could grow up with though Rynn did not know the whole story. She wish she had time to send a message to the troll matriach. One that explaned that she needed the foals taken care of and also that Malis was not to send someone to find her. The less that followed her the better. Her mind sudenly landed on Tuuli. It was the young mare who had came up with the idea that Rynn seek out Warlock to aid her in getting stronger. She wondered for a moment if Tuuli had also struck a bargain, if she was in trouble too. The fluttergeni did not realize that Tuuli had gotten what she wanted by forcing Rynn to leave the Glades.
She hoped that Irlina and Santiel had done as they were told and stayed withing their home clearing. It would not do for them to show up at this point, especialy as Warlock expressed interest in taking them away. Rynn took a deep breath and spoke up. "I will leave. On the c-c-condition that you d-d-do not return to WillowGlen and you leave m-m-my b-b-babies alone!" She tried to seem brave but inside she was more terrified than ever. She had no choice, however, already deeper down the path than expected. "I w-w-will follow you and I w-w-will not run away."

Santiel stared blankly for a moment at her sister, who then nudged her and brought Santiel out of her shock, though she began to flutter her wings nervously. The bear, that great blue thing was huge, how was Irlina and herself going to be any help to her mother, they should go and find Malis, get someone bigger to help with all this. All the while whilst trying to think what would be the best idea Irlina nudged her again, this time more forcefully, driven by her urgency, Santiel took a step back wards and began to splutter out something about finding Malis and how they were to small, to young to help, but Irlina just overrode her, proclaiming they had to help their mother. Irlina was always hot headed, she didn't stop to think sometimes, she teased Santiel for being scared and how she'd end up like their mother, scared of her own shadow. She wasn't scared, no, just sensible. Santiel stared banefully at her sister for a moment, about to began an old argument when her sister just turned and began to canter back down the path she had just come moments before.
Santiel was at a loss for what to do, she stared at her sisters back, then span around in a small circle, hoping with some slim possibility another member of the herd would walk into the glade, but she didn't spot any movement. Turning back, her sister was just disappearing from sight, Santiel wanted to cry out in frustration, but the she felt there was nothing to do but to follow and hope, some small hope, there was something they could do to aid their mothers plight.
She dug her front hooves into the ground, shifting all her height backwards, she then flung it all forwards in one smooth confident motion and charged off down the path after her sister. It was some time before she saw the shadow of her mother outlined in front of her. She'd not caught up with Irlina totally, whilst Santiel was strong in mind, proving more adept in their learning than Irlina, Irlina was far stronger than her physically, her sister was close to coming up to her mother. Santiel pushed ahead, but before fully reaching her mother and sister, Santiel stopped dead in her tracks, there were two others standing just off to the side of her mother, neither of which looked friendly. Santiel's eyes widened with fear, what was she to do, she cursed Irlina for her hot headness, they should of gone to find Malis or one of the others, what were they to do now?! Santiel crept forwards, her wings fluttering nervously, she edged towards Irlina and their mother.

"And what good are you to me - OR your promises?" Warlock seethed back at Amirynth. "I have heard those whispers before when you cower before me. Your allegiances as are capricious as a leaf in the wind. You cant your ear towards one of your herdmates with more courage than you have and you will be flitting off again." He reared and brought his hooves down hard onto the ground before Amirynth.
Warlock was about to continue to rail, the idea of offering up the quivering mare's heart to his dark god was sounding more appealing - surely, that offering would be worth more than more time and effort that had already borne little fruit could.... when there was a rustling in the brush behind them.
The massive bear plodded methodically in a circle around the clearing that his master was holding discourse. It was his duty to keep a watchful eye out for unwanted attention. And it was just such attention that he found himself upon - two small fillies - the same fillies that he had encountertered trying to find their mother.
He snorted down at them, luminous eyes above a face that crinkled with disdain. Large, expressive bear-jowels shaking as he spat, "Master, you have company." He rumbled a growl as he herded the two fillies towards the pair of kalona and Amirynth.
"The two fillies, master. I do not know what they have overhead. What would you like me to do with them?"
"Oh splendid!" Disnia crooned as she turned her head away from Amirynth's ear and looked over the little morsels of horseflesh. "Are these the skinny little things that you made with my potion?" She clucked her tongue in a note of disappointment. "They do seem to resemble you." She sighed. "Maybe we could take all three of you as an offering. It would be of more use than all of their nerveless twittering." Disnia persuaded, leering at the foals with needle-fangs.
"Just a moment, Disnia." Warlock hesitated, looking towards the foals with an eye of consideration. Amirynth had been found wanting. She had not taken as well to his instruction as he had hoped, and she had little to offer in return. But maybe what potential he had hoped had been in her had instead skipped to her foals. "Maybe your potion has brought out the strength in her progeny that the mother lacked."

Irlina gasped as she heard what was said. She wasn't quite sure what to do but the large, dark stallion seemed to want to do something with them. She shuddered when she heard the other mare talk and looked towards her mother, trying to work out what was happening. She couldn't understand why Rynn was talking to them, what they were doing or why they wanted herself and her sister. The small flutter wanted to march out there and help her sister but the large stallion made her wary and for the first time in her life she didn't know what to do for fear of hurting the ones she loved. She glanced over to her sister with an apologetic look, worried she had made things worse.Rynn shook her head and stepped forward. "You c-c-cannot take my d-d-daughters! I'll... I'll not let you!" She wasn't sure how she could prevent them, not having much power behind her. Rynn moved protectively to stand between her daughters and Warlock, hoping to figure out something, anything she could do to get word out to the Trolls. She was surprised that no one had noticed the entry of the demonic pair but knew Sen'jin had just made his round of the area that morning and probably wouldn't be back until later.

Sabin Duvert ((So sorry for the delay!)) Amirynth ((So sorry for the delay!)) Before she set another hoof closer to Irlina and her mother, the massive blue bear came bumbling out of the undergrowth and snorted at her, his hot breath caused her mane to ruffle across her neck and she shied away, taking a step towards her mother. The bear came forwards at her herding her towards the clearing, even though she wanted to be closer to her mother, she feared as to why the bear was pushing her forwards. A breaths length away from her mother she stepped to lose the distance. She meet Irlina's eyes who seemed to be pleading an apology with her, Santiel simply stared flatly at her, Irlina never thought things through! But before she could say anything to Irlina she heard the rumbling voice of the bear and turned to stare at him. The bear however was looking at another Soquili she'd not yet taken in...
There was a large dark shadowy figure, his face and neck swamped in inky hair, but below that shone the most eerily purple eyes Santiel had ever seen. There was something about him which commanded her respect and fear. Whilst next to him stood a more petite mare, larger than her mother of course but still far smaller than the shadow creature; her eyes glowed with cruelty, scales, spikes, fangs... all her features gave her an appearance of an animal Santiel had no desire to be in the company of. The bears voice stopped, the last words he spoke brought her attention back on the bear, what was he going to do to them? She stared at the bears 'master' then, but it was not him who spoke. The mare's voice was like an icy cold vice gripping hold of her chest, fear caused her breath to choke and die, and for a moment Santiel simply couldn't breath. The mare leered at her and Irlina, and she simply couldn't do a thing.
Then came that darkly seductive voice of the stallion and her fear ease ever so slightly, she could breath, and move... without thinking, or conscious thought her wings began to twitch nervously once again. He wanted Santiel and Irlina it seemed, Santiel puzzled the words together to find the meaning that their mother owed this Stallion something. She heard her mothers voice and the shifting of hooves to push Irlina and Santiel behind her, their mothers body acting as a barrier, but Santiel's thoughts had moved on. She side stepped out from behind her mother, bravery was not a trait she usually portrayed however inquisitiveness was. Her voice shock a little, she didn't have her mothers shutter it was simply fear which tainted her words, 'I do not know what my mother owes you, but how are Irlina and I part of it?'

Belphog grunted an ascent and stood closely behind the small fillies, his big, furry forearms pressed right up against their hind legs, preventing them from backing up. Warlock snorted derisively at Amirynth's plaintive protests. She had been given the opportunity, plenty of opportunity. And not only had her nerve hardly improved, but she was fickle, undependable, and her allegiance was obviously to this herd and not to him, as it should have been. The angeni blood and obvious magical nature of the mare had never shown through as he had hoped, and he had gained nothing for his valuable time and resources that he had expended.
Warlock turned his head to the fillies, his glowing eyes flashing brightly. "You owe your very existence to Disnia and I. Your mother owes us for that... and much more. A fact that she is WELL aware of."
He turned his head sharply back to Amirynth. "I no longer want you. You are weak. You are a waste of my time. If you come with me, it will be for no other reason than to carve out your heart as sacrifice to Kalona. Give me one of your daughters and provided she abides by my rules, then I will not harm her.
His eyes flashed, and he struck an imposing posture.
Disnia sneered down at Amirynth, her tail lashing back and forth in irritation. She liked it little enough that he had given some of his precious attention on this mare as it was - his precious knowledge, and now to lose that to start over with another? She snorted, scowling, but she wasn't going to question him in front of them. She respected his drive and intelligence, but she didn't see the point in this deal. Better to be done with it and carve the mare's heart out. Granted, it might stir something up with this herd, but they already had enemies...
She sighed audibly, "Oh, I do hope you come with us," Disnia purred in Amirynth's ear.
