Veral growled and detached the head of his gold and silver scythe, throwing the pole into the ground. He held blade like a Katar and phase shifted behind Ruby. "No one's going with you! And now you will burn along with that pathetic green haired demon!" He said as he thrust blade in the direction of Ruby's back.

Ruby only cackled as she teleported while throwing Shera harshly into the blade meant for her.
Shera would struggle to break free but had troubles doing this as she screamed out the moment the katar struck her shoulder.
“Now then boys I take my leave, I needed her blood and I have it now. I will be back for her to steal her from you. With her blood, trapping her will be oh so much easier. I thank you half-breed.” Ruby cackled as she took the vial of blood and teleported away. To Ruby this was a sick game of cat and mouse, she would be the victor in it as she vanished from the battlefield.
Shera would struggle as she pulled the katar free from her shoulder. She’d float down to the ground before falling to her knees from the pain. Her eyes would try to focus as she lost consciousness from the entire battle.
“Miss! Hold on!”” Helena would rush to Shera’s side as she began to quickly seal the wound on Shera’s shoulder. When the healing was complete, she’d look at Veral with a look that meant he should have been more cautious when the demon had a captive in her arms. Now they would have a harder time protecting the young angel.

"D*** YOU!!!" Veral shouted. "YOU COWARDLY LITTLE LEECH!!!! COME BACK AND LET ME KILL YOU!!!!" He shouted. He threw the Katar into a tree, no longer able to contain his emotions. "Why won't they all just die and go to hell?!" He demanded to know. He then stalked off into the forest. He feel to his knees and howled in pure rage. "WHY?! WHY ME?! WHY MUST FATE ALWAYS SCREW WITH ME?!" He demanded, looking at the sky, a tear of blood falling from under his blindfold. The tone of his howl told that Veral was expecting an answer.

Miluiel looked out at the forest, searching for danger. Blush filled her cheeks. "It was not out of line." She said softly, "It makes perfect sense, Shinn needs a mother to care for him." She looked up at Azrael, "Of course I would accept you, Azrael you are so wonderful to me." Her voice could hardly be heard over the chaos that had unfolded so suddenly.
Miluiel closed her eyes tightly, dreading what was behind her. She turned slowly. The battle seemed very short, it was over before she knew it. Miluiel paused, flinching at the frustrated cries of Veral. She looked from Veral to Shera unsure where to go, and who to help. She took a small step back and bumped into Azrael. "What should we do?" she asked him.

Helena would pick Shera up and quickly carry her into the guest den. “When you are done talking with Azrael, join me Miluiel. We need to get her patched up. I’ve healed the wound to the degree I could. That man I think needs to vent and rethink how he acted. That demon had a hostage and was used against his own blade because he did not think, but attacked with his rage.” Helena was brutal and harsh in her words, as she had already begun to distrust Shera being anywhere near Veral.
Shera remained unconscious as Helena would lay her down on a bed in the guest den. She’d find it harder to wake up than the previous times she was attacked. Her body lost a lot of blood in a very short amount of time. She would not be able to cast any self-healing spells to help herself as she laid in the dress of black.

Azrael looked up. "Why don't I call for Mazzia?" He suggested. "She is a healer, and could be very well helpful to you." Azrael stuck his head out of the room and called for her and she came in a few moments later.
"I'm here!" Mazzia said flustered. "What's going on?" She asked.
"Shera has been harmed, and needs help." He told her. Azrael turned to Miluiel and smiled. "Thank you for accepting me... Miluiel. I am glad that you will be with me. I promise to do what I can for your home, later."
Shinn awoke nervously. "O-opau.... whats going on?" He asked scared, looking around.
Veral stood out in the cold and threw his gray cloak off, leaving only his black robe, which was quite thin, not designed for the cold at all. He began to laugh to himself coldly. "It will always be my fault. I was born suffering, and I will die suffering." He said to himself. He retrieved the Katar and knelt on the ground, pulling the top part of his robe off, revealing his bare chest. "Yes... I will go out suffering." He threw his blindfold off and made three cuts across his chest, none very deep, but all enough to bleed a very fair amount. He simply knelt on the ground, waiting to see if either frostbite or bloodloss would kill him first.

Miluiel blushed brightly. "Azrael, I am happy." she said feeling foolish. "How should we go about it?" She asked him softly. "Do you want to tell Shinn? Is there anything we must do? Thank you." She said to his last comment.
She looked down at Shinn, smiling at him. She stepped back to allow father and son to talk.

Shera remained in state of sleep. Her eyes didn’t seem to bulge awake. Her body needed rest as she seemed to eventually awaken. Her eyes had the look of fear in them as she looked at Mazzia. She then looked at Azrael and Miluiel, before finally looking at Shinn. Her body couldn’t move as she laid there. The wound on her shoulder seemed to have reopened where she laid as she activated her magic to have it return the lost blood to her body. It was all she could do for the time being.
Helena would again seal the wound with her magic as she sat upon the ground looking at Mazzia. She didn’t know why the wound kept opening up as she sat there. She hoped that the wound on Shera’s shoulder would not open again. Her eyes were tired as she leaned against a wall. “I need rest. She is going to need more healing that I can provide to her. She’s doing what she can now and I can sense it, but that shoulder is not sealing closed.”

Mazzia kneeled next to Shera and began to channel healing energy to help seal the wound. "Okay... that will do for now." She said worried, but confident. She took Shera's hand gently and began to use the technique that Shera had taught her, to help recover Shera's lost blood.
Azrael's fur bristled. "It will be simple, there will be no major ritual. We'll just go to the elders tomorrow and they will recognize our bond." He explained to Miluiel. Azrael turned to Shinn and pulled him close to his chest. "Be at peace my son. Shera has been hurt and we are doing what we can." He said to him. "I have some good news for you my son. Miluiel is going to be your new mother." He said.
Shinn's eyes opened wide. "R-Really? Really?!" He asked. Azrael nodded and Shinn skipped and howled excitedly. He then sniffed and stopped. "O-Opau." Shinn said nervously. "I smell blood... pain blood."
Azrael looked up and sniffed. "I do too. Could it be...?" Azrael gave Shinn a pat to indicate that he wanted him to stay with Miluiel. He ran out of the house and saw Veral lying face first in the snow, and blood staining the snow around him.

Miluiel nodded. "Alright then." She blushed brightly, this had not been her plan, nor the plan her parents had had for her. But it was as it was, and she couldn't have been more happy. She couldn't believe it, she had found her mate.
"It's true little Shinn." Miluiel said picking him up. She hugged him. "Fear not, your father will take care of the problem." She looked at the opening to the den. She began to shiver with fear as she waited for Azrael to return. "Do you need any help?" She called to him.

Shera’s body began to regain the lost blood as she too smelt Veral’s blood. Her body struggled to move as the healer her demanded she move but she couldn’t. Her eyes pleaded with Mazzia to let her get up as she knew Veral was dying. He let sorrow and anger take hold. As a healer she couldn’t idly stand by and watch a man die, her body however told a different story. Her blood might be become restored, but she didn’t have the energy to move out of fear.
Helena would go outside as she sighed. “He attacked himself Azrael. He let his anger get the best of him. I’ll do what I can to spare his life, but if he tries that move again. I’ll tie him up myself.” Helena would kneel by Veral as she placed her hands over his body. The half-topaz dragon’s eyes began to glow fiercely as she healed Veral’s body. He would have his wounds heal completely, but at the same time she would restore some of his blood so that he would live. She had to draw on her dragon strength to do this as her human strength had begun to tax her greatly. Helena eventually would fall to the ground on her knees as she had taxed her energy too greatly. “Take him inside now, he should be fine after sleeping off the hangover he’ll have. I’ll be inside shortly, I just need to catch my breath.”

Aenmwan simply sat in his seat in the den and watched everything going on about him. He felt a bit out of place. A bit confused.
He idn't know any of these people, and a lot was happening in a short time.
He just sat back and closed his eyes, figuring now was as good a time for rest as any. He was still feeling a bit weak from all the blood loss. He clutched his bag to his chest, trying to block out his surroundings.
Sleep would be nice.

Azrael sighed and picked Veral up. He wanted to bring Helena in too, but he figured she would resist his efforts. Azrael brought Veral into the house, but put him on a mat in the central room, rather than in the guest den.
Veral breathed raggedly, in his sleep, he could tell through aura that he had been healed. Why? He thought. I do not deserve life, and all I do is suffer and make things worse. Why bother with me? He thought in his rest.
Azrael looked at Veral and saw that he was not wearing his blindfold, he saw his blank eyes, never closing, but never seeing. Blind white eyes, but even through those he could see into his despair, his hate, especially his self-loathing. "Poor creature." He said softly. He left Veral to sleep and went to Miluiel and Shinn. "Veral... tried to kill himself." He said softly so only she could here. "Don't let Shinn know, my love." He said.
Shinn looked at his father. "W-what happened opau?" Shinn asked.
Azrael bowed his head. "Veral hurt himself." All words were true, but it avoided the the nasty part.
Shinn hugged Miluiel, trying to forget the troubles. "Thank for being my new mommy!" He said softly.

Miluiel nodded in silent understanding. Her heart fluttered. She blushed, leaning against Azrael, Shinn still in her arms. "Thank your father. He is the one who asked." She snuggled Shinn. "I am happy to have the part. Thank you for being my c-child." She hugged him tightly as the thought dawned upon her. "You are my child."

Helena eventually would get up as she caught her breath. She’d make her way back to the guest den where she checked on Shera. Her hand would touch the young angel who obviously was scared. Her worries were this whole event with Ruby would leave her immortally scared or dead. That was the fear of Helena’s as she came to her knees in a bow before Shera as if recognizing her as a friend just as she had Miluiel many years before.
