Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright, we can take a break." Shinn said to Shera, nuzzling her gently. "It'll grow back to normal soon, Shera. It happened to me a lot, before my claws hardened." He told his sister, which was quite true, he had lost quite a few when he had been training to hunt.

Azrael nodded and lowered himself, respectfully. "I would like to be up there with you. We will share the responsibility. It will be easier with both of us, I hope. And it is good that Kayla is here, we have someone who can mediate these discussions." Azrael said, smiling slightly. "I will have to go get them, I told them to go wait outside the Long House, we should get set up in there before we get them."

Feeling was beginning to return to Canor, but between the venom and the cold it was hard to tell. He could only tell by a tingling sensation, akin to his limbs having fallen asleep simultaneously. He had some rudimentary control over his movement, but it wasn't much, mostly his shoulders and his neck, though was still to stunned between the monsters and the fading after-echo of fear from that brief battle. The three other soldiers were helping to move him so he was lying on his back, but the current lack of feeling and control only made him feel like awkward, dead weight to them.

Elizabeth nodded and sighed. It seemed she really had no say in the matter. She shrunk away from his cold hand as it touched the bear skin of her neck. She mumbled a soft, "Thanks," but it bore with it an angry tone. Her arms folded over her chest and she began to pout.

Shera stepped away from the circle and went over to the spot where her mother had lay moments before. It was still warm. She lay down and began to lick at her paw. Her eyes looked off towards the tunnel and she wondered what was being discussed there.

Miluiel nodded, glad that her husband would be there with her. "Okay darling." She said softly. "Let us go then, we should not keep them waiting, that could possibly just create more tension." She warned. Miluiel's kind, motherly eyes turned to Kayla, "Dear, you will do wonderfully, I know it. Don't worry about it, alright?"

Azrael nodded and started to move toward the entrance to the Long House. "Come, we should get things started now. I will take my other form later, once everything is set and we can begin. As of right now though, they would only recognize me in this one. I'd rather show them, rather than explain. There are other things that need discussing first.

Shinn left the group as well and sat down next to Shera, comfortingly. He nuzzled her gently to remind her that he would always be there for her, and began to scratch at his ear. He knew it wasn't fleas or anything like that, because the healers regularly checked for them, and had ways to make the annoying little bugs go away, at least for a certain period of time.

"Vampires, were originally humans, though worshippers of what many see as a Dark God. Through a long story, a man became the first of our kind of vampire, his love the first Blood Mate. While we don't completely need blood to live, if we go to long without it, we start to devolve into non-sentient beasts. From there, it is just all downhill, until we become animated diseased bodies. From there, a simple touch would send a human down the same path. That, and I try to avoid violence. Unfortunately, I ran out of blood packets, and the loss of blood tends to bend my personality. I only meant to drain a little of you and that man's blood, leaving enough that you could easily get up and walk away, but I was interrupted. I sincerely apologize for all this" Alunn explained as he carried her. He stopped for a minute, trying to sniff the air, before cursing slightly.

Alunn looked at her apologetically. "I kind of, forgot how to take you back to your camp, I didn't realize how far I ran, and this isn't exactly where I live, so I don't know the terrain well enough. I know the general direction, but in terms of specifics I am lost. I really am new to many things, so I'm terribly sorry about the control issues. So, um, if there is anything you recognize on our way back, it would help."

"What!?" Elizabeth half shouted. After a deep sigh she tried hard to calm herself. She raised her hand to her head and pushed her fingers into her hair. "Well could you start by setting me down? Perhaps then I could find out way back." The woman sighed.

She jumped in Alunn's arms, however, when the voice of another creature startled her. She looked around quickly, her hair following the rest of her head as it whipped around her shoulder, probably smacking some part of Alunn's upper body. "You know where my comrades are!?" Elizabeth asked, once again irritated that she was not standing on her feet.

Miluiel nodded in agreement. "Yes my dears. It won't be long." She said and sighed softly.

"Do you think that we could follow them and find some way to help them Shinn?" Shera asked with a tone of hope.

Kayla looked away as the transformation from wolf to elf took place. Somehow it seemed like peeping even if it was natural for them. This momentary distraction almost got her lost in the strangely formed tunnels but thankfully the two of them were always in sight and soon they would be back outside assuming they used the same entrance in to get out.

Kayla was doing her best to keep up with the couple as their wide strides seemed to slow now and there to keep her along. She did not talk much instead trying to think about what to say to those armored men. She managed to stop a large blood shed but could her luck be that good that she could keep things smooth?
