Shera continued to remain unconscious for a time before finally opening her eyes. She was far from being recovered as she had used far too much magic to be even conscious. “Celeron…”, her voice would carry weakly past her lips as she remained in his wings. She was glad to be there and that he was the first person to awaken to. Her own wings were limp on her back as she could barely even lift an arm being that much out of energy and magic.

A few more tears ran down Azrael cheeks, and Shinn was starting weep once more, burying himself between the two. "I am just so happy that I have you with me Miluiel... with both of us. I am so happy to have you with us." He said.
Mazzia was looking into the family den cautiously. It was her fault that the village had been taken off guard. She had not just lied to the pack leader, she had lied to her brother, and had lied about a grave danger. She looked away, seeing Shinn hiding between Azrael and Miluiel. No child should have to go through what he was going through. She went over to the fire and started to weep again, distraught.

Tanis tried to calm her. "No, you did all that you could," He kissed her head. "It was not your fault. The weight of the town does not fall on your shoulders alone." He wished that she would hear him, and understand what he told her. He didn't want her to blame herself.
Miluiel hugged her boys closer, tighter. "Boys." She said softly, running her hand over their backs. "My boys. My two wonderful boys. I am thankful to be here with you, both of you." She told them softly, feeling their pain. "Cry my darlings, cry, you don't need to hold up more than you can bare.

“But it was…it was…he used me as a toy…a pawn in his twisted game…I should have been more prepared to defend the village…the barrier failed to protect them…” Helena couldn’t talk anymore by this time as her body went limp like her wings. The final straw from using so much power now taking its toll as she fell unconscious with tears in her eyes.

Celeron bit his lip in annoyance as Shera laid their with barely any strength at all. The village was in shambles in the aftermath and Celeron could do nothing to protect them or Shera. He punched the ground in frustration as helplessness consumed him.

Shera carefully reached out to grab Celeron’s fist as he slammed it into the ground to keep him from breaking his hand. She understood his frustration but did not want him hurt. She loved him too dearly as she started shivering from the cold. “So cold…may we head inside?” This was her question to Celeron hoping he would agree to it.

With Miluiel's words, Azrael finally broke down. He feelings over the injustice that had been committed against his people and his guest overcoming him. "I've tried so hard and then some dragon just.... for once I just wish there was a break for my people." He said in his sorrow. "Everywhere we have gone, we have only encountered hostility. Even here at this end of the world... hostility still comes to us" He said dropping forward, laden with tears.

"You are no one's toy, you are your own self. You can't take all the blame of the world Helena my dearest." The elf said gently. He spoke to her hoping that even unconscious she could hear him. "You did what you could, be happy for that."
Miluiel watched him controlling her own emotions. This was his moment. She hugged him, sitting silently for a moment until she knew she could speak calmly. "Yes, it sounds like your people do need a break. But dearest you never know. Maybe after we are married there will be a chance for peace. If our two species can coexist." Her tone was hopeful, but she continued to rub his back, and run her fingers though his hair.

Helena would mutter that she failed in her unconsciousness almost as if like the battle may have broken her spirit. It didn’t sit well with her. She heard Tanis’ words, but they seemed to fall upon a person with a spirit that had been shattered. The likely hood of her recovering was great, but at the moment she was broken. She needed help and in the worst kind of way as she remained in his arms.

Azrael looked up at Miluiel and smiled, with tears still in his eyes. "You are right... there is still a chance for peace. We must simply pull through this as best as we can." Azrael said. "Its just hard for me... they look to me and will be looking to my family for leadership. It is just hard for me... so hard to handle what has happened." He said.

Tanis felt his spirits dropping. There was a chill in the air, a chill of death. He walked into the tent and sat beside the first fire he saw. "How can I help you?" He asked her, "I really don't know how to help."
Miluiel wiped the tears from his eyes. "Yes dearest," She said, "It is hard, very hard, but that is what it means to be a leader." She felt a pang of pin flash though her own heart. She remembered the fearful, pained faces of her people. She fought back the tears brought on by her memories of her people. "They do depend on the ruling family, dearest we will be better in the future. This won't happen again."

“Miluiel…Azrael…Tanis…Shinn…help…” Helena spoke weakly as if the dragon she fought was chasing her. Her eyes remained closed as she seemed to fidget slightly in Tanis’ arms. Her condition could either have gotten worse or better, it was too hard to tell, but the fact she called for help was a sign for the worst.

"Are you asking us for help?" Tanis asked fearfully. He didn't know what she wanted. Did they need help? Certainly he didn't need help, well not for himself. "How can I help you Helena, I implore you, tell me."

"O-of course love. Let us go to the fire and warm up. I have nearly forgotten how clod it is out here with all the things that have been happening.
Celeron carefully picked Shera up in his arms and began carrying her to the guest den.

“Help…me…dragon…” Helena couldn’t put into words what wrong with her to Tanis. Her body just shuttered as her spirit continued to be chased by the dragon that she had fought. It was chasing her in her unconscious mind and it was the reason her spirit was broken.
Shera was thankful that Celeron agreed to going inside before he hurt himself. She didn’t know what she would have done had he gotten hurt. Her eyes closed for a few seconds before opening again. “You’re warm…” She’d snuggle her head close to his chest as she kept herself as close to him as possible to feel his warmth. It might have sounded silly what she said, but she was tired.
