Shander reluctantly detatched his attention from Kith's gryphen and turned his attention to Illyanna who was gathering his saddle and her pack.

Airithnu smiled at Zero for the first time, she felt and she said, "We did not think you would break your promise, my friend." She said, smiling, and then added, "Catch anything good last night?"

((*Hugs LDM* I'm glad you're back- I missed you! Anyway, it looks like the bios not on the first post are Meldawen's and Nauriel's charries, but they've both posted bios and posted in the RP. Like Vengeance said, though, Amoniel might have some other ideas- it'd be great if you could join!))

Sorcha woke up, hearing talking in the cave. Blinking to clear her vision, she could see a man standing near the fire. "Kith!" She scrambled to her feet and hurried over to him, her eyes taking in his wounds.

"Sit down, let me take care of those." she said quickly, unaware that Adillya had already offered to help. She pulled out her pouch of herbs and gently shook some into her palm, sorting through them to find the ones she would need.

((hey Eleyna, we need you in the Journey Home RPG. ))

Firis sighed heavily, glancing at the rising sun, her face bathed in the reddish-orange glow. She inhaled deeply, enjoying the fleeting smell of a new morning. She placed her hand on the hilt of a small dagger in her belt, she drew it out, not really aware of what she was doing.

She looked down at it, the blade reflected the sun's warm glow, it flashed in her eyes and she blinked at the bright light. She pushed up her sleeve, and drew the blade swiftly across the bright blue vein on her wrist. Blood surged to the surface, and trickled over the side. She shook her hand, and the blood dripped to the ground, it smoldered once it reached the ground.

"As a memory, to those who lost their life to this cause." Her voice was quiet.

"May my blood boil in my veins if I do not finish the appointed task." Firis cleaned the dagger and slipped it back into its sheath, she took out a length of cloth and wrapped it around her wrist, staunching the blood flow.

Meridian had woken at Zero's return, slightly miffed he came out into the morning sunshine, yawning and stretching like some giant scaled cat.

"Good morning, have a good sleep?" Meridian nodded.

I need to feed, I'll return in half an hour

All right. Firis replied and watched as her bonded took off.

Tiernan looked at Zero as he returned, posing the question if anyone slept. Tiernan decided to answer, "Yes, actually. With my past, you learn to sleep when ever you can; regardless of the circumstances. 'Rest is a weapon, just as deadly as a knife or gun,' or some Zen-like thing like that. Supprising thing is, it's very true; you can run on adrenaline only for so long."

"But to Airithnu's question, Did you have a good hunt?" Tiernan knew that wasn't the actual way Airithnu phrased it, but it was close enough; and having a good hunt didn't nessarly mean you caught anything good or even caught anything at all.

What does that say for you and I?

Now, three Gods wait on the windowsill
Where one God's blood was lately spilled
While black tongues lap at the spreading pool
And build the strength they need to rule.

[LDM- All the bios have been filled, sorry. I may have just forgotten to put them up. I could try to find a place for you to join, like someone who wants the eggs back (when Crymson stole them?]

Emmeline looked up at Zero, "Fair enough. I just hope you have enough energy, we are traveling all day today."

Airithnu watched as Firis did her ritual as she waited for Zero to answer her, and now a few others, question. She was glad that Firis was so keen on filling this misson, but she wished she didn't cut herself in the "ritual" that she did in she failed. Airthnu shuddered slightly and then turned back to the group, who was all now awakening and getting ready.

Zero gave Airithnu an undecipherable look, and said, "It is nice that you have faith in me, but erase "my friend" and we're all good. And yes," Zero looked back at Tiernan, "I did enjoy a good hunt, with a rabbit that was very vengeful, but it was a treat."

Zero took in the whole group. The dragon had gone flying off, presumably in search of something to eat. It had flown off easily on its wings -wings just like Zero's, but much bigger. Well, some had gotten sleep, and some, obviously, hadn't. Like Zero. Zero had watched the girl, what was her name? Firis. Zero had watched Firis slit her wrist and swear an oath, and currently, Zero liked Firis better than anyone else. Part because of her dragon. Part because of her mother. Part because... she was interesting. Looking out into the sun with glittering red eyes, Zero posed yet another question, "So, where are we setting off to?"

Airithnu looked back at Zero and grinned. "As you wish." She said simply and added, "I'm glad your hunt faired well...I can never catch anything these days." She said.

Firis turned her head to watch Zero, her eyes roamed briefly over his face, then she smiled. She looked back at the rising sun, shaking her brown hair out of her face. The sun's light made it more red than brown.

"To be honest, I have no idea. I'm here because my mother summoned me." Firis laughed cruely at this. " Actually, being here is a bit too much like being a puppet. You know? Being told to go here, and do that and fight this enemy. Also a lot of killing, well, not that I'm bothered by that really," She gestured wildly to all of this. "Well, I say, what about the so called 'enemies', are they really bad? Sure, some of them are bound to be, but..." She glanced back at Zero.

"Sorry, I was rambling." Her voice was quiet and apologetic.

[sorry, my bad. it's all right. no hard feelings]

Rena had stayed quiet through the converstions going on. She stood up, and went to the back of the cave where she had placed her things. The few items she owned that she had taken out, were put into the saddle bag that Crymson had bought her along with the saddle and briddle.

Rena caried these thing to the cave entrence.
Granit... where'd you go? she called tellepathically.
Coming... the horse answered, and came trotting up to the cave enterance.
We're leaving pretty soon. Wonder where we're going next.
No, that's not what you're wondering. I know whats going on in that head of yours. Now your starting to regret leaving the others... and accepting this mission even. I don't blame you. Now, hurry up and put that tack on me. Rena smiled inwardly, and did as told...
