Quickly pointed finger. "Who?" Small ears twitched as attention was lost to the book she had been so intently focused on before.
"Well if it isn't Saradin Phoenix." He refrained from the fact that he didn't seem his normal self and then looked at Ecara as he heard Saradin's summons to Aurahkah. "Hey Ecara, why don't you come sit next to me, and read some more huh?"
"Saradin Ph-hoen-ix." A smile to the man, showing off fangs. But her attention was grabbed again by Eclipse's offer.
Aura just patted Ecara's head gently again. "Yes, that's Saradin." She then slipped the girl and book from her lap, standing. She took a moment to smooth out the wrinkles in her dress before walking over, closer to where Saradin was. "Something the matter Saradin?"

once he hit the trees, he bounded up one, proving that he was a deadly hunter on nearly any ground. he lept through branches with a practiced ease...another gift he'd gleaned from his hunting of others. the woodelves were at home in the trees, having built a city within them. and so was he, he lept and twisted and dodged as if he knew where the branches woudl be before he landed, his eyes never leaving the winged form, and as she had given her gift of illusion away, his nose was as active and accurate as a bloodhounds. he low glide through teh trees made her easier to get too, as he moved above her in silent pursuit until he came crashing down again, fully intending to land and perhaps break the bones in those wings. not only would it cuase her great pain, but dragging her wings behind her woudl slow her pace and ability to dodge him considerably. not to mention if bone broke skin, the blood could be used to track.
"Cymarron will not be denied what is Cymarron's by right! you will suffer for your actions!"

"A child?" Saradin naturaly asked, already guilt struck at involving anything so innocent looking in his plan. "No matter. I need to talk to you away from them." Without even meeting Aurah's look for a moment, he stepped back out into the hall and walked slowly down the corridor, further and further away from others while beckoning her to follow. "Lady Aurahkah, or should I say Ms Voladu?, I just want to hear what you know of a man who came here while I was gone. Someone kept in the basement against his will?" Each slow step's sound bounced around the hall, building it to sounds far louder than they should and masking a hint of menace in Saradin's voice.

Hey you still there?
No you freaking idiot, Ive already been eaten...
Oh, well umm... sorry I wasnt there in time.
ARG! GET HERE NOW!
Oh right.
Idalla pulled her wings in a moment soon enough, falling the last inches into the dirt and skidding to a halt as Cymarron hit the earth right where she would have been, missing her by only a foot. Damn, to close... She thought as the was knelt in place, praying for swift rescue from her friend. "What did I do to you anyways?"
Above, a shadow blocked out the sun for a moment as another being flew overhead, drawing closer to the tree tops and looking down at them through the branches.

Picking Up Stars Vice Captain

Tyler began to toss and turn. He whimpered once and began to kick. There was no way he was going to let him mother go. Not again. He grabbed her and felt something grab him. Kicking at the shape behind him he heard a howl of pain and Tyler smiled. He saw his sister up ahead and ran towards her. She reached out her hand and opened her mouth to tell him something but he didn't understand what she was saying. He reached out and tried to get her but she began to fade. He heard his mother scream and cried out to her. "Momma!"
Niah shook the little boy trying to wake him up. He had been moaning and crying for quite a while. When she had reached out the first time all he had done was kick. Slowly he had quieted but then he screamed. She pulled his trembling body into her arms and smoothed back his sweat-soaked hair. She began to murmur soothing things to him in Egyptian. "It's all right little one. I'm here and I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Shh."The language was unfamiliar to him but it had a way of soothing people. She just hoped it worked.
Tyler felt a soft body hold him and he reached out. He wasn't sure where he was but he felt safe in her arms. He opened his eyes and looked at the woman holding him. Images went rushing through his head and he remembered Miss Niah finding him and giving him food. He hugged her and began to cry.
Niah stroked his back and let him cry. His hot tears soaked her shoulder but she didn't care. She felt so bad for the little boy. He was so young and had obviously been through something traumatic. His small body was trembling so violently and she closed her eyes for a moment. She wished there was somehting she could do. For now it seemed he just needed to be a scared little boy and cry.
Tyler cried until his tears were gone. His nose was running and sniffled then lifted his head. He looked at Nailah through watery blue eyes and shook his head. He wanted so badly to be brave but he just couldn't.
Niah understood how the little boy felt and didn't say anything about his tears. She used her dress to wipe his eyes and then picked him up. Carrying him into the bathroom she set him on the counter and wiped his nose and the remains of his tears. She smiled at him and said, "Now Tyler. I'm going to give you a warm bath. Would that be okay?"
Tyler nodded. His mom had always done that too. And then she'd hold him on her lap until he fell back to sleep. "Ok."

He landed heavily in a crouch, claws gouging the dirt as his eyes, deadly, predatory, and showing a gleam of hunger, locked on to her again.
"You Hunted in Cymarron's territory. You left no meat, no eyes, no flesh. The Prey became frightened, and called spirit users to seek you, but no, you had Hunted and left. the Ancestors told Cymarron to leave his den, his home...becuase the spirit users woudl surely think Cymarron was that Hunter. you cost Cymarron his home."
He snarled again, venom making trails like drool down his chin and dripping to the ground...before he lunged, claws raking out and jaws snapping at anything within reach, his tail prying his second dagger and striking with it like a scorpion's tail.
"Cymarron will pay you back by Cymarron's ways. there will be no more Hunting for you, no more risk of you taking another home!"

His hand casually reached out and grazed the wall as he stepped onward. "I saw you do something terrible Aurahkah." Closer inspection, one could see the thin gash left behind by his fingertip, like it was sharp and digging into the finish on the walls. "Can you really explain yourself Aurah? I can see it all fresh in my mind." His hand balled into a fist and hit the wall gently, then receeded back to his side. "I think this is far enough. I wont let anyone escape punishment for something so cruel..."

"Oh is that all?" Idalla said, ignoring completely and smiling as Cymarron lunged down onto her.
Like a bolt of thunder from the sky a fairly large mass of white scales claws fangs and wings plutted through the tree layer and crashed headlong into Cymarron. "Hey, Idalla, so what exactly am I protecting you from?" He said, already trying desperately to wrestle the mass of muscle and fur into some sort of submission hold, despite it being a stupid manuever. "I cant figure it out..." There was a casual tone in his voice, almost as if completely ignoring the pains that were beginning to acrue from gashing claws and a threatening looking knife.

She slowed to a stop and swallowed as her eyes caught the mark on the wall that Saradin had made. Her defenses were up instantly and she was now analyzing the situation. It had happened before, she had followed a calm Saradin only to turned upon by the man she had followed in the name of trust. "Explain myself...and you call me cruel." One hand dropped back to rest on the hilt of one sai. She wasn't going to be fooled again. Trick me once, shame on me. Trick me twice, shame on you. "You have no right to judge what I did cruel or not. But if you want to know....I tortured him for a few days for his insolence, then I set honorable rules, and a fight to the death took place. One that determined his fate. Through his own folly he lost his life in it." She sneered. "And you cannot be cruel to an already cruel man." Her hand tightened on the hilt of her sai and she took one step back, creating a bit of distance.

He snarled and roared as this new one crashed into him. biting, clawing the dagger stabbing wildly at it. of course, it was a matter of leverage, of which the dragon had the most of, for the moment. the simple size variance made sure Cymarron could not fling him off, so he turned to biting at the dragon's arms, pumping as much of his muscle relaxing venom into them as he could hoping that his arms woudl lose thier ability to keep a grip on him, and he coudl get free. In the back of his mind, the Beast, so close to the surface form teh Hunting and the rage, beckoned to him.
"Let us out. our strength combined is more than enough to fling this one off. and the winged minx can't match us..."

"Then theres no harm in being cruel to a cruel woman. A perfect circle of misery." Slowly Saradin turned to face Aurah, eyes glazed over and light within them dead. "And if you are really so ready to stand against me then I was probably right." Flexing his hand in and out, the knuckles cracked one by one as he stared her down with cold contempt. "Maybe openning to trust was a mistake. Decency really is dead." Sound snapped out, ricocheting off the walls like before as he broke the stand off. He ran forward, rushing her with arm reeled back like a weapon unto itself, already shifting slightly for the strike.
"Ah! That stings!" He complained, leaping off the 'critter', as he thought of it, and shook his left foreclaw to get out the numbing effect. In an instant he uttered a single arcane word and a simple spell began to cleanse out a bit of the poison from the wound. "Its got pointy teeth..." To that, an invisible barrier around his very skin flashed into place momentarily, hoping to block out even a couple of the mighty tiger's attacks. Then he began to grow in size, from ten feet to fifteen, it was a tighter fit on the forest floor, but more weight was more weight.
"Oh just knock down the trees already... Flatten him, he clawed me." Idalla pulled away from them and took a place standing beside Calcryx, nursing the cuts on her shoulders and back, along with the one bad one on her wing.

Despite the speed Saradin moved with, she was seeing it all in slow motion, even if it wasn't really happening that way. Being ready always had that effect on her and now there she stood, watching the trusted Saradin rush her. Aura blinked once, sucked in a break and then she pulled out the one sai. Then time would rush to keep up as Saradin's arm and fist came at her. She would of preferred Soulforge. But this time, she wouldn't waste her words on him as she had before. Once a Saradin decided to go after you, there was no escaping his wrath. The sai thrust up to block Saradin, not stopping, but at least lessening the blow and she stumbled back some. Her free hand shot up to grab Saradin's arm so she wasn't dumped to the floor, from force or from pain, and held herself up before quickly regaining her feet. "You're the dead one Saradin. Seems you lost yourself again."

He lept up on his feet, snarling and growling.
"You are lucky Cymarron hasn't eaten your eyes yet..."
His ears flicked, listening to the Beast, hearing it's seductive purrs to be let loose. his eyes moving coldly from the dragon to his quarry.
"We have no quarrel with you, white scaled one. our quarrel is with the female who stole our home from us.."
the duality of his voice returned, the darker underlying violence present. a ripple in his form, a shimmer of arcane energies. the Beast was nearly loose, pounding at it's cell.
"Stand aside, icy one. Cymarron does not want to be forced to injure you."
under his breath, he was whispering the archaic language of the Vah, asking for thier aid, to make his enemy lethargic, to give her a fever, to make her sickened and weak. the Beast was right under the calm surface he presented, ready to be let loose if needed.

"Dead... I certainly feel like it. That knife in my back." The skin that she touched lurched out and shot out in spikes, raking across her hand in the brief moment before they parted. "No more mercy... the purest elements of heaven rot in hellfire because of mercy. I will find out for myself what youre really like. Look at how proud you are even now of the misery youve inflicted. You brought it on yourself." His voice was as even and unfeeling as it had been in days long ago, emotion was dead and only a machine was left. His arm entirely changed then, splitting open in a bloody display of anger, flesh tearing voluntarily and blood suddenly splattering outward as a black talonned hand was in the regular arm's place, still half covered in bloody flesh.
