Azrael growled at Tanis, but the look from Miluiel managed to calm him. "Alright.... I won't... I won't keep you from it. You must do what you must, my love." He said softly deferring to her with a bow of his head, as he was supposed to toward a life giver. Shinn huddled against his father's leg, unable to do anything except watch scared.
Mazzia ran out after Helena, but a strange elf was standing in the way, the scent of the metal on his sword made her nervous. "Wha-What is going on?" She asked nervously.
Veral awoke and followed Mazzia out and stood behind her, standing out in the cold still partially bare chested.

Tanis looked around at the group appearing around him. he felt Miluiel's hand rubbing against his arm gently. He looked down at her, she was looking up at him. "What have they done to you?" he asked her.
"If you release me then I am certain this situation will calm down." She assured him with a slight nod. She pushed his arm gently away from her. "Tanis, they will not harm you. I promise they won't, put your sword away, and come and sit with me." Miluiel helped Helena up off the snowy ground. She hugged her friend affectionately and helped her over to the fireside. She returned to Tanis and took his hand in hers. "Come sit with me?" she asked nervously.
Tanis nodded reluctantly, but he refused to put away the sword. Miliuel led him to the fire side and sat down in between Tanis and Azrael. "First of all Tanis." she said slowly, "This is my new home. I am sorry love, but that is what has happened. You know what we shared wasn't what it should have been."
Tanis bowed his head, he knew the truth, but he also felt greatly betrayed.

“Miluiel is in love Tanis, but please do not let that anger you…Azrael did not do this to me. A demon named Ruby did. I fought with her and became injured. I nearly died to her powers and nearly became the sacrifice to ensure everyone’s safety.” Her words came softly, mostly out of love for Tanis though it was never shared. Her eyes even shared that love for him. She doubted he even knew this entire time that she loved him. Her pain would return as she held her hand near her heart as she gasped slightly. She had not recovered yet and nearly opened the wound on her chest again. It might have sealed closed but it needed time to heal. She’d redo the bandage on her chest to ensure it didn’t start bleeding again.
“Please Tanis understand that, Azrael and Miluiel are in love. They fell in love and this tribe had nothing to do with the attack on the land so long ago. This much I know, because I followed Miluiel’s scent after she vanished. I loved you however Tanis for many years. I doubted you felt this or even dared to know.” Helena admitted the truth to him. Her hand remained over her heart as she sat there.

Azrael sat silently in his place. So.... He was the one her clan had set her up with. I pray for any hard feelings to dissipate between us, but I have made my choice and so has she... if you would listen I would apologize. He thought not saying a word.
Shinn peeked out at the scene again and shivered nervously, working up the courage to creep forward slightly.
Veral placed a hand on Mazzia's shoulder, but she ran off to help Helena. She immediately started to channel, she didn't need a delving to see what was wrong. She said nothing however, though she did want to tell Helena to be more carelful... but it seemed like a bad time for that kind of action.

Tanis was silent, he listened to Helena, his own heart aching. He knew that the feelings he and Miluiel shared were not that of lovers. They were siblings, that was the feeling. She was his younger sister, and he was her big brother. But the duty to their nations pushed him in his next action. He turned to Miluiel, taking her shoulders in his hands and kissing her. Due to his irritation it was rough, he heard her whimper and pull away. "What did you feel in that?" he demanded still holding her shoulders tightly in his hands, his nails digging into her skin.
"Nothing." she told him, she tried to pull away, "Tanis I felt nothing from you! I swear. I love Azrael...." She paused. "I've already given myself to him."
Tanis started her in the eyes. His hands loosened on her shoulders, he sighed and looked away, but he did not let go. He did not hear her crying softly, he was looking into the fire, deep in thought.

“Mazzia…let me go to him…” She’d put her hand gently on the woman’s shoulder as she went over to Tanis dislodging his hands from Miluiel. Her eyes would trail to looking at Tanis gently as she pulled him closely to her. “Tanis listen to me. You haven’t lost all love yet. I am here with you.” Her words came softly as she would turn Tanis’ head to look at her. She wanted his gaze on her sapphire eyes. She’d then place her lips on his. She didn’t know if he would feel anything, but she knew she did feel something for him and it was genuine. Her love for him was real. It was true also. She wasn’t about to let him go into a state of depression without knowing that someone loved him.

Mazzia sighed and released, letting the light fade. She sat down quietly not know what exactly to do, as her healer mindset and the knowledge that Helena needed to show her love to Tanis conflicted in her mind.
Veral sat down next to her and smiled. "Let it go Mazzia." He whispered to her. "You can't always win."

Miluiel scooted back to be with Azrael, she shook fearfully. She had never known Tanis to act that way. She went to Azrael, searching for his protection.
Tanis blinked, surprised. He pulled away from her, looking directly into her eyes. He thought there had been something there, a sort of spark. "I am sorry Helena." he said bowing his head. He looked back into her eyes, "I see a new chance, maybe..." he looked over at Miluiel and back at Helena, "We can give it a try." He told her with a weak smile.

Helena nodded as she started wavering. Her body was giving way. She needed rest and in the fiercest ways. “Good. A chance is better than…” She couldn’t finish her statement before falling into unconsciousness. She’d not fall away from Tanis but instead her head landed upon his chest and rested there. Her body was so exhausted and she was in so much pain that she had no chance to finish what she was saying. She wanted to tell him again that she loved him.

Azrael embraced her protectively and nuzzled her cheek, while Shinn looked up at her nervously before snuggling next to her. "We are here Miluiel... please. Be at peace." He said soothingly holding her close to him tightly.
Mazzia gasped and went over to her cautiously. "She's exhausted." She said softly. "The only thing I can really do is let her rest." She looked at Veral. "Could you help me fix the flap?" Mazzia asked.
Veral nodded. "Sure. what do you need me to do?"
"Follow me to the storage room please." Mazzia said. What she was really trying to do was to get Veral alone to herself. She led him out of the room and said, "If she seems to be needing blood, or a wound opens, call me." She said to the others, before leading Veral out of the room.

Tanis watched her for a moment as if he had never seen her before in this life. He caught her when she fell into him, holding her as if she was going to break. Tanis looked around at the large gash of the tent. "I am sorry about that." he said softly to them. "Wounds? She is wounded?"
Miluile hugged him tightly, Tanis scared her right now. She feared his wrath. She wrapped an arm around Shinn, she was happy they were there for her. "Thank you." she whispered softly still shivering.

Helena continued to remain unconscious. Her body shuddered a little as she seemed a little cold. Her body hadn’t done this in some time. It seemed that she was actually feeling the cold even though she was by the fire. The wounds stayed closed luckily as she as she eventually would open her eyes again. The chill in the air was what woke her up as she put her hand to her chest feeling the intense pain.

Before Veral exited he said. "Yes... a demon attacked a guest in this village and Helena took a heavy blow from it as a means to destroy the demon." He said before following after Mazzia.
Mazzia had gathered up a heavy skin to patch the gash in the tent, as well as a thread to sow it on with. As soon as Veral entered the storage room, she threw herself onto Veral. "Oh, you bloody fool!" She said as she pinned him against the wall.
Veral blinked. "Wha-?" He stammered out. "What are you talking about?" He asked.
Mazzia kissed him, catching his lip on one of her sharp teeth but not enough to cut. She drew back. "You try to kill yourself and now you act like it never happened!" She said, smoothing clothing and recomposing herself. "Now help me bring that skin into the room for me. She said plucking up a small needle for the thread. "Come on. We need to patch that hole!" She said dragging him back into the family den.
Shinn tried to snuggle deeper into Miluiel. "T-That was scary." He said to both Azrael and Miluiel softly.
Azrael smiled and held them both against his chest. "I know. But we are here now, and you were not harmed. I am so relieved." He said to her, nuzzling her again.

"I don't think that he would have harmed me," she paused remembering the pain that he had put on her. "Not in the right mind anyway." She blushed, "I didn't even remember him, I am sorry." She said to Azrael. "It is a wonder you still trust me." She stroked Shinn, "It was scary, wasn't it?"
Tanis held Helena close to him, hoping he could help to warm her. "How can I help you?" he asked her softly. He looked over at Miluiel, surrounded by her family to be. He smiled, hopeful that she would be happy. He stroked Helena's hair absently and looked back at her.

“I do not know. The battle was fierce one that attacked both the body and the mind. The first battle was of the body, the second of the mind. I don’t know which was worse…I fought the demon twice, even though she died physically her powers attacked me still after death. I do not know if I am truly free of her demonic aura or not. I still feel the lingering pain.” She placed a hand on the area where her heart is to signify what she meant. She hurt terribly right over her heart in a physical sense. It felt like she had not healed truly at all even though the wound was sealed closed. “I feel as though the wound needs to be truly healed, but I lack the energy to fight the aura back anymore…”
