Nova sighed softly, maybe it was best for him to find Tendren. Although, once he started talking, she looked at him with distress. "Oh, Gaia no... That's not what the quests are. We aren't trying to make soldiers.... We just want people that can help guide others through wisdom through times of darkness. We aren't asking anyone to fight in the awful war. Tendren may seem to be a little more aggressive in his path to peace, but we could never ask Elders to fight like that. The quest is mean to test your strengths and push past your weaknesses. Only those that are truly thought to be worthy of a level-mind get chosen. But as the war has risen, things have been far too unpredictable. This is why we halted seeking elders. I couldn't bear the thought of damaging another one of our kind like what happen to Ree. The title of elder is not worth that price." she frowned. She looked at him, then turned over the flyer and read the passage. "...hmm..." She then handed him the flyer and the quest letter, waiting patiently for what he had to say.

Tri took both items and looked at her. "...... Generals then" he stated as he opened the letter and looks at both sides of the flyer. "Aggressive... Ree has never killed anyone before and now he has killed a family and who knows how many others, that was his problem.When I was taught it was just one person then ...time. " he frowned, pushing that down.
" Have you seen what I can only assume now is a three way Elder battle..assuming Blaise is one too?" he sighed. "If that is so... Blaise is also part of the problem." he shook his head, wishing he was having this conversation when he knew both Ree and Hexxis were okay. Looking between both sheets he shook his head and put it back down. The closest thing it came to was the second choice but that was pushing it and linking Hexxis with wolves. Also just pushing it..it could easily have nothing to do with anything or even with that option. Silently he looked down at the third option and frowned. "If everything was halted...how many are still going behind you back like tendren? How many until one new elder alerts the other races and everything becomes a race on how fast they can eliminate us all?" he looked at Nova with a frown. "You need someone to patrol them or even just educate any Elders that pass. Either ways war or no war what you are doing here is a ticking time bomb " sighing he moved back on task.
"Where do I find Tendren? " he turned and handed Nova both items again, silver eyes narrowed but other wise he looked fairly emotionless.

Nova sighed somberly. "I'm aware of Ree. Had I known that was who Tendren chose... I would have stepped in."
"Yes, its unfortunate. And yes, Blaise has been an elder for over 20 years. Ive been watching her. Things were a lot different back then but now... things ate just so out of control, I fear there really is no way to stop this second eat from happening. Elders or no. There is simply nothing we can do anymore."
"Tendren is the only snake in the grass that would dare defy me. Liliana and Avon are very close. Tendren has always been....different. We want peace and prosperity. To protect our kind and simply live.... but I feel like Tendren wants more than that. Its uncertain." she sighed. "That counselor is me. I'm the one to watch, patrol, and educate new elders. But I am finding that far too difficult to do this alone. I'm not Gaia.... I am doing what I can, but I can only do so much. That's why I was forced to halt the call to Elders. There simply isn't the resources to accommodate them no matter how badly we need them." she sighed deeper, looking at him sympathetically. "Which is a shame, you certainly know what you're talking about.... I'm sure you would have made a great elder one day. Just not now."
"No idea. He comes and goes at random. He's where he needs to be but otherwise, no one really knows where he goes."

He stared at her silently, trying to measure her authenticity in the matter before finally sighing with a nod. Her expressions were close to the surface and he didn't get the feeling she was trying to hide anything, the opposite in fact., she reminded him a little of Zaku when he had his guard down. Zaku.....
He pushed his thoughts away that person and focused of the present problem. Finding Hexxis, then Ree ...at least it seems he found someone willing to help him and the reason Ree was the way he is.
"Hmph. " he nodded, frowning faintly as he looked at the top of the desk again.. "Then I am satisfied, you are aware and have already taken steps" he stated, not showing how angry it was that it had to start with Ree or learning that at least three were all wanted by the law.
After a moment turned back to her " He defies you and what is the punishment? " he asked seriously also wondering why she wasn't trying to go after Blaise as well, knowing the current trouble she riled up, if she was alive.
"Also to quote you, Tendren wants more than just peace. " he looked at the items in her hand. "While I would like to believe Silver took Hexxis, if she could get through my defenses without tripping even one then she would not have had to do what she did before" he said talking out loud, knowing Nova wouldn't know who Silver was. " Then the letter and Hexxis disappearance ... something to force me to choose. Why do I have the feeling all three choices would end up in the same place?" He was frowning as he looked to her for hints and focused on the paper. "What is the location of that show?" He asked pulling his phone out to check the location of isle of Pilver. He paused and stared at one of the highlighted news alerts on his phone. His wings drooped completely to the ground as he stared blankly at the phone.
"Zaku's dead..."

Nova frowned and nodded. "I'm sorry that it came to all this."
She looked at him about his question of Tendren. "That is between him and I." she answered bluntly. The squabbles among the high elders were nothing more than private matter.
Nova didn't know Silver, and simply had nothing to say on the matter. "It doesn't. Each choice leads you somewhere different. But that is neither here nor there." She then looked at the paper. "Its in Vore... an island off the east coast."
There was a curious look at Tri's expression before alarm hit her face. "....b-but how... How do you come to know this is true?...." she was invested in the answer. A dread sinking in that her last choice to try for a suitable elder had ended in his death. No, that couldn't be the case. She certainly hoped it was fake. A cover up. She couldn't bear to be responsible for any more deaths over this. She lowered her head, hurrying to the door with a combination of anger and worry. "I think you need to leave...." she spoke softly but demandingly.

Tri looked up as if to ask her if that was a real question. He just turned his phone around to show her the headlines and turned it back. He felt strange, sad and guilty even if he knew it would eventually come to this. He just expected that there would be more time or that Zaku would be rescued or escape somehow. Placing his phone back he watched the sudden change in the elder as she looked grief stricken then frantic for him to leave. It didn't surprise him to know she had contact with him, not when Rasiel had been hid- reopened this place.
He moved to follow her out trying to pull his mind from the news feeling a dull pain in his chest and an overwhelming sense of guilt and failure. Taking a soft breath he stared at Nova's wings, a focus point. As they reach the door he found reminded of what he wanted to say. "You might want to seriously consider transparency, if you continue to do this in the future. To be blunt, I peg you as a counselor but not as a patroller or one able to met out serious consequences for actions. If you are weak some will run you over and being an Elder will not matter if they poison you tea" he said bluntly. "Tendren has affected multiple people of my family and right now he is the only link I need to hunt. I hope you will inform me if he reappears here" he said with a slight nod to her.

Nova didn't have anything to say, his words were true, and she had done everything she could, even if she knew that she alone could not shoulder the tasks needed of multiple elders. She sighed, nodding, "I will inform you if I find him..." was all she said simply and motioned to the front door of the main hall before returning to her office and closing her door without another word.

Tri turned away heading toward the main door before stopping right in front of it a frown on his face. He wanted answers he wanted to stop all of this...first he had to figure out where Tendren was. If the carpet was any indication, he ran out in a hurry or was a slob. Which didn't help him, for all he knew he had a show he wanted to see tonight and just left late. Glancing outside he saw the cab waiting for him and slide open his phone before calling Kae, his mind firmly on what he was doing right now, he wanted answers and supposedly he had the chance .

The cab motioned him in, "Where to?"
Kae blinked at the number then answered the phone, "Find out anything of worth, because I haven't..." she muttered. There was a soft sigh before she spoke again. "I've had security searching high and low, but she's not here."

"SIU" he told the cab driver before moving inside and going back to his conversation, raising his turtle neck a little higher to make sure it was covering his collar. There was a flicker of irritation as Kae ignored the fact he said his shield was up, her response was the most logical one and it was worry that was pushing him forward anyways.
"No, other than Nova has not authorized the letter and they are in a disarray. " he said with a sigh. " I am trying to find the writer of the letter and thinking heavily of trying the third option to do so instead of waiting for him to eventually reappear. I am not positive he is the reason for her disappearance but is high on the list. The only other thing was a flyer on his desk with something written on it and talk of a performance tonight? Only problem it isn't near and I do not want to waste time searching if he didn't go. " he was frowning. "You remember the third option, would you have any idea how to go about doing that? "

The cab driver nodded and drove off for the destination.
"I see. You're trying to find Tendren... well he's no less easy to find than Avon..." she remarked dully. She arched an eyebrow as he continued to speak of the third option. "Performance? So you aren't sure he went to the performance but then you want to seek out Gaia herself instead.... sounds reasonable." she spoke with a slight sarcasm. "Actually, I do. Come back to SIU, I'll help you do that." she offered.

"It said that answer to questions...with an s meaning more than one" he said slowly. Not even sure why he was believing the options at all other than Nova had agreed. He never question himself on Gaia's existence, she was there or she wasn't but talking to her like a normal person seem far in the realm of fantasy too. Then again he saw spirits... something he didn't believe in either until he saw them and..Ame.
He sighed "If I had any less mystical way of doing this I would take it."he said with a grimace. " I am on my way, took a cab it was to foggy to fly '

"I see, well, I'm sure Gaia can answer your questions then if you can get to her. I'll start preparations to help you get to her so they are ready when you get here..." she spoke then hung up, waiting his return.
There were no issues getting back to SIU, as the cab pulled up the the gate.

Tri pocketed the phone and sighed, closing his eyes as he leaned back and tried to relax but that only lasted a few seconds as he started looking up information on Zaku then Tendren and finally giving up and running his hand through his hair as he tried to thing of something else that might be of help.
When they arrived at SIU he paid the cab and went inside, asking one or two people before looking for Kae. His arm felt better but he was tired and made an effort to avoid medical where the healers there were likely looking for him.

The few people who were asked about Kae, told him she was in her room and was asked not to be disturbed for some time. Things had died down for the moment so no one particularly cared right now.
