Loki raised an eyebrow "little one? I'm pretty sure I'm older than you." Loki let his wings fold into his back and drew out his deck of cards. "Whenever your ready"
"So your not with her?" Laiza asked Dhaunithra

“Agreed.” Shera would set up the camp and get it prepared. She knew that Celeron wasn’t fond of the idea, but this girl looked like she had some sort of trauma. She couldn’t very well just leave her like this.

Veral nodded. "Then my suspicions were correct." He said. A green light glowed from beneath Veral's blindfold. He wrested himself from Dhaunithra's grip and looked at Laiza. "I think there might be some... but I think that he there is more to it then that, especially if he came here knowingly with a murderer." He looked back toward Dhaunithra. "And I have a special defense set up for the village... though it wasn't intended for her originally." He said looking up to the sky and narrowing his eyes behind the blindfold.
From a distant location, Yurogonath watched the scenes unfold. "Well now..." He mused. "This is a most interesting development! I wonder what brings that black dragon here. Perhaps... she will do my work for me."
Mazzia smiled and gave Miluiel a reassuring look. "No need to get worried! Remember to speak clearly when replying to them. Now, they will address you a few more times, but you don't have to worry too much about words, then answers to those will be simple, and are up to you to give. After the ceremony you and Azrael, as he is the one you will be bonded, will told to spend the night in contemplation. Azrael knows what that means, though there will be nothing wrong with having a meal with your new family and friends in celebration." She explained. "That's about it. Now there is something I have for you after you finish your bath, its for the ceremony." She said, testing the water in the tub. "Just a few moments more, I think. And then I'll let you alone."

"Could he be her slave? under her power or what not? That would explain why he waited until she was out of earshot, maybe a collar of some kind?" Laiza questioned, her eyes flirting with Dhaunithra "Loki might need some help but for now, he'll be fine handling her, he has lots of practice fighting dragons, and lots of magic in his card deck that he can unleash".

Tanis sighed, "Why must they insist upon fighting?" Tanis asked walking back to Helena with slumped shoulders. "It really is a pity they can't find the peace and beauty of the day."
"Night of contemplation?" Miluiel asked curiously. "What is that again? I think I recall hearing about it." She paused, thinking about what the words meant to her. She still felt the warm energy coursing though her, her excitement was undaunted, but she was also becoming greatly nervous. "Tonight you will all be in your true form, won't you?" She asked.

Dhaunithra looked down. "Yes, I knew she was a murder! I am her 'pet'; and I regret it everyday since I agreed to it. I consider payment for my sin. I-I...." He shut his eyes, recalling the screams of his loved one. "My village lived in peace when she arrived. She appeared to us in the form of a injured human. We fell for her story of being attacked; having been attacked a few days earlier by a dragon ourselves. How naive and stupid of us. As we slept, she burnt it all to the ground. None survived save me; I fled. I abandoned them all. She found me soon enough and kept me as her slave, pet." He opened his eyes. "She hunts the villages. We've....no...she has burnt a few down on the way here. There are other horrors she has used when attacking villages."
Ruma only smiled. "Perhaps. Perhaps not. I'll give you the first move." She stretched slightly. "Let's begin shall we?"

Celeron watched the young girl as Shera began setting things up. He wished she was here instead of him as he tried talking to the girl.
"Sooo...do you remember anything at all?" Celeron asked calmly trying to not be imposing to the poor child. He didn't have any real skill with children so he was not sure how to handle the situation.
"N-no I don't. I'm sorry." she said bowing slightly. For such a young child she seemed rather polite.
"I see...Maybe you have a head injury. Let me check your head." Celeron said as he tried to look at her head.
The girl cringed away from Celeron when he got close to her.

Helena would just shake her head. “That is the pains of battle and war. No one cares what it does to others. I fear that this dragon has this village in mind to destroy. That is why if a battle is to come I must fight. I might be the only one that can fight her head on.”
Shera would continue the preparations for the camping before finally finishing as she looked at the girl. “I think its amnesia or a form of it Celeron. She might not remember anything because of this. I’ve run across such a case only once before and it’s almost impossible to cure even with my powers.” Shera looked at Celeron as she sat next to him before turning to look at the girl. She had water prepared for all of them to clean up the gunk off their bodies from the foes that was dispatched of.
Karen just shook her head. “It’s more than just pains of war Helena. This is going on everywhere. There is no stopping it. I must let Azrael know that his wedding might have a chance of being ruined excuse me while I find him.” Karen would be off then to find Azrael to let him know of the grave news that a battle had broken out near the village that could destroy it as well.

"I am aware of what amnesia is Shera will you please help check here head? Maybe if its a head trauma then she can be healed and her memory might return easier." Celeron said plainly as he sighed in frustration at not making any leeway in helping the child.

"letting me go first? You might regret that" Loki said. He picked some cards from his deck and let them fall to the ground. He pulled a few more out. "Begin!" He cried, letting a few bolts of lightning fly from one of the cards.
"so you let her make you her pet? You're kinda like Loki, he let me make him my pet as well!" Laiza smiled dancing. "I do hope that woman is a magic user, she's in for a big surprise if she is!"

Shera just shook her head as she looked at Celeron. “It’s not as easy to treat as possible. She has to let me near her first. I don’t think she has our trust yet. We might have saved her, but she doesn’t trust us yet. Once she trusts us, maybe then I can treat any wounds she has.” Shera would look at the girl as she offered her a gentle smile and a hand to hold in comfort.

Mazzia smiled sadly. "Yes... we will be in out true forms on this night." She said. "I am very sorry, but that is the condition that we were born with." Mazzia looked at Miluiel intently. "But it actually might work to your advantage. The sky is very clear today, and that is a sign that tomorrow will be very cold and you will be warmer with all of Azrael's fur. At any rate, I believe that the water is done. The night of contemplation refers to thinking of the future and the responsibilities enacted to you on your bond... at least thats how the elders describe it." She admitted.
Veral raised an eyebrow. "So... I'm to imply that you stood by while she devastated people's lives and homes, as opposed to you being set upon a few yourself?" He asked. "At any rate... it appears that my hand is forced." He looked toward Helena and Tanis. "I have a special pact formed with the local spirits. I will be able to create a pocket of safety for the village... but you may get stuck in the village longer than you intend, as you won't be able to leave in a normal sense... It would take me too long to explain its exact workings.
Shana exited the house to check on the other Defenders. She prowled around tensely, sensing conflict in the forest, and something much darker behind it. Why is this happening? Why us? We already live a hard life, but always something works to make it worse. What kind of life can we live, if our cubs must live in fear. What future is left for us? She thought sadly, despairingly.

Tanis nodded. "It is the pain of war, I know it well." Tanis looked deeply into Helena's eyes. "Yes, I understand, but please, be careful." There was a uneasiness within him. He felt like the world could drop from beneath his feet. "Just don't get hurt, or over exert yourself."
Miluiel nodded. "That does sound nice. So then will Shinn be with us tonight?" Miluiel asked blushing. "That much be a plus for everyone, do you even turn into your wolf form so you will be warm?" Mileuil asked. She reached her hand into the tub. "It does feel heavenly." She closed her eyes for a moment, thinking about what Mazzia had said. Her heart happened within her, and she wanted to see Azrael, now, but first she had other things to do. She opened her eyes, and looked up at Mazzia, "It sounds wonderful." She giggled happily. "Tonight is going to be wonderful." She said, filled with energy once again.

"If you want him to, then yes. But if you two would wish to be alone, I would be happy to take care of him, and with Karen here, I'll bet that Shinn will want to here every detail of her travels." Mazzia said. "Azrael will be back soon. I doubt that there could possibly be an argument started over his petition." She said dismissively. Though Azrael would firmly stand with his beliefs, he always tried his best too avoid conflict... which was why he had been very distressed over their brother, who always had to argue. But it was Shana who had kicked Duriel out of the house, not Azrael. Mazzia smiled. "Oh yes, we certainly do use our wolf forms to keep warm in the colder times. If your ready to take your bath I'll leave, and get my gift for you ready." She said.

Miluiel nodded, "I think I will leave tonight up to Azrael, I will be happy either way." he told her smiling. Her mind lift, flying off into a dream for a few moments. She finally returned looking up at Mazzia. "I think that I will take my bath now, the water feels so warm," She laughed, feeling bubbly on the inside. "Thank you, thank you so much for everything!" She said bowing to her.
