In the entrance way to the manor, Nelphean feed his horse and apple from the plentiful collection he brought with him from the kitchen. "These are bad for you, you know."
The horse did not care. She loved apples, and her new friend.
Nelphean brought out the steel brush he found, out side of the manor, and began to groom the horse. "Snow, you are a pretty horse. Maybe I should get you a mate? A black Steed?"
The horse shook her head.
Nelphean laughed at the horses stuperness. "I guess I could always let you pick." Nelphean stroked the horse muscular neck. "So, meet some nice women here." The elf chided, "They are stuborn, and taken..." Nelphean grined. "Just the way I like them." Nelphean laughed at himself. Silly elf, should stick to his own kind... But in the land of Ravens, they were so rare...
"It is too bad they always died..." Nelphean lamented. "Time is s fickle thing for the humans, and the silly elves were to mobile for me to catch."
Nelphean enjoyed the company of the horse, grooming her glistening coat, and checking her shoes... "You might need some new ones...Incase we lose one or two."
"Why was I cursed in such a way, dear Snow, as to love any girl I see?"

For some reason or another, Elias found himself looking out the window of the room in which he had been staying, he could seee the very large courtyard that was part of the manor proper. From what he understood of the history of the place, it was here before the mistress ever arrived from her travels in Egypt, he himself had travelled to that place on more than one occasion. He had fallen in love with the allure oof the place, and was intruiged at how two cultures seperate by so many miles, Actacs, and Egyptians had built Pyramids to honor there own gods. He sighed to himself "It is one of those great mysteries of lfe." he laughed to himself. He was still wearing the same clothing with which he had gone to bed, and because of this was not wearing his shirt, exposing his massive chest and the large Aztec seal which coevered most of it. He was one of the few people left that still spoke the ancient language in which the seal was broken, a predecessor to the Nauhtl language, the language of the gods which created world of the Mexica. He knew because the feathered God new, he new everything that the winged serpent king did, from how to make the rain gather and choke the land with water to how to bring the dead back into the realm of the living by stealing there bones from hell itself. "Today is a most peculiar day." he commented to himself and indeed that was the case, even the twins had not shown there wind kissing faces, something which Elias found the strangest above all else. They had become inturiged by this place which smelled of magic and places older than time itself, perhaps here the young spirits of the wind could finaly find a happy home, a family where there father was not a drunk and there mother a whore. "In the end, we all spent out lives looking for home." he said as he climbed unto the railing which seperated him from the open spaces of the air, he did not think of what he was doing simply acted in the heat of the moment. He jumped, his room was fairly high up, 40 or so feet from the floor, yet he did not care he spread out his body faced the sky and closed his eyes. For a moment he became weightless, becoming free like the sisters he so admired, he wondered if this is how he would feel when he died, happy knowing that he would see his mother's sweet brown face and her loving amber eyes, or his father's cold stare, and the love and wisdom which always seemed to pour from his raven black eyes. His moment of bliss did not last very long, for his body quickly hit the ground with a large hollow thud, the pain shot trhough his body like a bolt of ligthing, he was pretty that he had borken at least one of his legs. He heard his arm snap loudly then felt the warm embrace of the blood as it spilled from his spiltered bone as it broke through the flesh, Yet it didn't matter because the seak would not let him die, yet that did mean anything for pain, yet the warming sensation on his chest was the beginning of his healing, in a second his pain was gone, and he could stand like nothing had happened, all that was left was the large crater where his body was fallen.

She lay asleep on the couch in the quiet library, the open photo album in her lap. If one looked at the photos, one could see they were family portraits. These were definitely some of the oldest. They were done in oil paints. Before the camera had ever come around at all. If one bothered to flip pages, they would gradually turn into actual photographs, black and white, to even color. The people changed in each one. Who was present in one as a child, would appear as an adult in the next, those who were adults in the previous ones, were no longer there. But...there were two who were always there. No matter the family, the time, the manner of the portrait. A young looking girl with raven black hair and warm chocolate eyes, her skin a natural deep tan, gold bracelet always on her wrist, always smiling softly. Next to her, sat the wolf, ebony feathered wings and midnight blue fur, azure eyes watching knowingly. Aura rolled over in her sleep, the old album falling from her lap to the floor.

Nelphean wandered into the Library, and saw the sleeping image of Aurahkah. He smiled, and placed his cloak on her as a blanket. It was good to see that she was sleeping well.
Nelphean picked up the book, and gazed at some of the photos.
He smiled, and closed the book, and placed it on a nearby table, in plane sight.
He grabed the book he was looing for, and returned to from wherest he came.

His fangs dripped with the blood of the other. He stood his ground, fur matted with blood, feathers torn and ripped. The dark wolf charged the other again, both clashing into each other and bringing one another down to the ground in a mix of wings and growls. How could he of been so stupid. He should of known better not to meddle with what he wasn't supposed to. And now, Eclipse faced himself. The evil intended one of himself took the the sky, Eclipse following suit in uncoordinated flight from ravaged wings. He dived on the other, bringing him down. Both wolves landing with a splash into the lake, the water not hindering their battle as fangs ripped at the bodies of one another. One dark wolf emerged from the water, panting, another one would pounce on him from behind, sinking fangs into the wings of another.

Pheaura closed her eyes, and as she did she caught a glimpse of darkness falling from the sky in her mind. She rolled over to see where this was coming from and why it was shown to her. Shje made her way to the kitch to look out into the yard.

Nelphean, with a new scroll, wanders towards the 'casting grounds', singing a song about water nymphs.

((right...system crash...why?))
Another round of growls sounded as one flipped the other over and pinned himself, fangs seeking out unprotected areas. The one at the disadvantage grabbed the others fore paw in his jaws, biting harshly enough to make the other yelp and toss him off. Up on all four, he raced across the courtyard, perhaps seeking an advantage of some kind. The other recovered, snarled and leaped upon the other, in a tangle of feathers they rolled over one another and then stood, facing one another, wings flared, fangs growled, both growling.
She slept on in the library, warmed by Nelphean's cloak, lost in her own little world of nostalgic dreaming. Not feeling the pains of her companion, their link to one another cut off, but unknown to her as she slept.

Nelphean could not miss the speckticle of the duet of wolves vishously attacking each other.
"Sun Shadow has a clone? But I didn't build it yet...."
"Eclipse!" Nelphean shouted, not knowing what else to do... He could use a spell of some sort, but what on earth would he caste...

Pheaur saw Nelphean. "NEL!" she shouted, "try to stop this I am going to find Aura." Pheaura closed her eyes and probeded around for Aura's mind. She sensed the warmth of an old friend dreaming. She pushed herslef into Aura's dream. "Aura Eclipse is in toruble, wake now!" Pheaura would have liked to say more, but there was no time for details.

Both would side glance the two who came upon them. But their growls focused on one another. With a bark one pounced on the other, fangs ripping at the others wings while the other's sharp claws tore into the others underside. The two grappled in the grass for a moment before one latched onto the back of the others neck, slamming him into the ground then flinging him a good five feet away. This one left standing would turn fangs on the two standing near by and make a dash for them, only to be slammed in the side by the other who had recovered, sending both dark wolves tumbling back to the grass, where for a moment, they would find themselves in a stalemate, one's jaws locked on the underside of the other's throat, the other's jaws locked to the side of the offending one's throat, both trying to make the other weak from lack of air.
Aura would only stir the slightest bit. Not that she wouldn't wake but more along the lines that she couldn't. With Eclipse casting spells on his own for the first time, and Aura having no prior knowledge, he was using her magic, her energy and practically sucking all the energy out of her.

Pheaura could only hope her words got through to her friend. She moved towards the battling masses of darkness slowy, not wanting to to distract them until she could figure out which as Eclipse.
