"Hmm.." she murmured as she sat up, looking around for the butterfly. She gave up on trying to find it and instead bent to start smelling the colorful flowers, letting out a soft sigh when she did. Hope thought for a moment before getting an idea, smiling as she began to gather flowers. In a few minutes she had gather quite an armful of the most beautiful flowers she could find, using a piece of string to keep the stems tied together. She smiled then stood and quickly went over to Shade, grinning as she held the large armful of a bouquet towards him. "I..m-made this for you, Shade!" she said in her soft voice as she smiled her sweet smile at him.
Xavier was laying on his back close to the lake, hearing a bit of a rucus as Hope ran about and gathered flowers. He opened one of his eyes, seeing Hope holding the flowers out to Shade. He smiled and closed his eye again, looking thoughtful.

Shade accepts the boquet with a slight smile and turns faintly pink. "Thank you Hope."

Finally they were ready. "Ok men were going to have to transport so you may feel a bit strange when we get there." He lied they would not feel strange they would feel terrible. Transporting was terribly painful for those who had no magical skill. Twilight stepped out o the castle and snapped her fingers. Everything went black as te wole army dissapeared and went spinning trough a vortex to the borders the Gatha forest.

Hope's smile widened a bit when he accepted the flowers, one of her hands moving to rub the back of her neck as her own face turned a bit red. Then she suddenly shivered, clutching onto her upper arms as the smile dissappeared. "C-cold.." she murmured quietly as she shivered again, wondering why it had suddenly become freezing cold.
Xavier's eyes opened and he suddenly sat up straight as a pole, his eyes narrowing as he looked around at the forest a bit. He turned his head a bit, trying to decide where whatever he smelled was. "Hmmm..." he stood up, looking around some more as he did so.

((Since Twilight is not with them Shade can't sense them. This can come as a total surprise. Should be fun.))

As they arrived several of them collapsed, others grabbed their chests in pain. As long as they stayed alive he did not care. "You all stay here! I will come back when I have observed a bit." He walked into the woods hoping he would find the camp

Seeing Hope shiver, Shade goes to give her his coat. He then realizes that it is still torn up from the fight to the tunnels and the left arm was still missing. Seeing this he wonders how he hadn't noticed. "Perhaps we should go back now. I need a change of clothes, and you look like your freezing."

Leo continued through the forest and saw a fire flickering. Then he saw Frensa sitting there so it had been about 10 years but he stil recognized him. Leaning on a near by tree he started to speak "Hello there Frensa long time no see huh?"
Frensa frightened by the sudden voice jumped up. "L-l-leo!" his face went from a surprised smile to an angry frown "Leo you work for Twilight now dont you. I'm guessing you know about my secret know"
"Yes the son of twilight must be interesting the way you could rule with her. Have so much power. And you deny it all and help these petty fools!"

Hope shivered again before nodding, still clutching onto her arms as she moved a little closer to Shade for warmth.
Xavier was suddenly in his natural form, stretching his wings and growling viciously towards one part of the forest. His tail curled and swished against the ground to show his irritance as he growled deeply, obviously disturbed.
Hope jumped slightly at Xavier's sudden loud and angery growling, turning her head to stare wide-eyed at him as she shivered. "Wh-what's wrong with h-him?" she asked worridly in her quiet voice, turning to look up at Shade.

"I do not know. It is possible that he senses something amiss. A dragons senses are far keener than my own. Perhaps we should ask him."

Hope nodded a little, shivering again before cautiously approaching the large dragon. "X-xavier..?" she asked quietly. She jumped when he suddenly turned to her with fierce looking eyes, relaxing a little when he calmed slightly. "Wh-what's the matter?" she asked in her soft voice, looking in the direction he had been growling.
"Someone's here. Something's here. Something dark and rank, something evil that should not be here." Xavier flapped his wings a couple times as he clawed at the ground a little with one of his front, hand-like paws. "I think it would be best if we returned to the camp as soon as possible." he turned his burning eyes to look at Shade, showing that this was definately not one of his little games.

"I think that is an extremely good idea." Shade turns to Hope. "Can you run?"

((Ok))
He sighed at Leo's comment "What has she done to you. You used to be a great person. You dont have to serve twilight! You can come with us!" He knew that his words would not be able to convince him.
Leo focused and managed to intrude on Frensas thoughts he had a feeling it might help. The man named Shade was with a girl Hope, and a dragon Xavier at the lake. A dragon this is not good the forces may be strong but dragons are intelligent and the forces... were not. "So when do you think they will be back from the lake. I honestly will have to leave by then. But the pelt of a dragon would look nice mounted on my wall dont you think?"
Frensa gasped at what had just happened. Leo had invaded his mind and looked into his recent thoughts. "H-h-how did you do that"
"Twilight has taught me many things as she could teach you." "Well I must be leaving now goodbye" He said with a grin.
"So you are just going to leave like that?"
"Actually no I'll be back and quite soon but first" He pulled out his bow and shot it at Frensa. He fell to the ground not dead just asleep. He grabbed him and slung him over his horses back.

Hope looked down at her trembling knees, biting her lower lip: she didn't think she could run when she was so freezing cold..
Xavier turned and lowered his head, quickly stepping forward so that his head went under Hope. He then lifted his head, letting her slide down his neck until she landed with a soft plop on her back between his shoulderblades, her eyes a bit wide. "I can carry her. Let's go." he said as he looked at Shade one last time before turning to start swiftly running back towards the camp.
Poor Hope bounced around on his back before she managed to cling for dear life on one of his wings, praying that she wouldn't fall off as she looked back at Shade, the wind whipping her hair around.
