"Wait wait wait... stolen home?" Calcryx said, still increasing in size and looking over at Idalla."
"Oh crap."
Shoving over one large tree to make room then another, they creaked and toppled as he stood nearly thirty feet tall, trying to feel the superior to them both and treating them like foolish children. "Idalla... what did you do?"
"Nothing I swear!" A woozy feeling swept over her and she looked bitterly at Cymarron again while backing away from Calc as he took up to much room.
sitting upright, he plucked Idalla from the ground by her wing and looked at her angrily while reaching down to flick Cymarron while shaking his head dissapointedly. "You arent going anywhere until I get an explaination. And that goes for you to Tiger boy. So keep down the michief." He stared down into Cymarron's eyes and put held a deadly serious look for once in his extended lifespan.
"Since when did you try to become high and mighty?? This is weird..." She said, trying to fight his strength and pull the wing she dangled from free, nearly vomitting from the new illness in her.

She flinched as blood splattered onto her and her hand instantly released his arm. Whether it had released from the pain or from the fact that Saradin had changed the appearance she didn't know anymore. It all sort of melded together. Her breath hitched in her throat a moment. The smell of blood, the sound of Saradin's voice. "I hope you feel proud once you've brought me down then and have to look into the eyes of the people I am connected with." Her voice and accusation were spat out like acid. She hated trusting him and she hated not trusting him. A bitter laugh as she once again was taking steps back. Despite her situation she was finding herself hesitating at taking strikes at him.

The Beast inside roared in defiance as it's cage door was slammed shut, Cymarron's eyes locking to the Dragon's with not the slightest worry or fear of it.
"She Hunted in Cymarron's territory. she did not bother to seek a possible Hunter that was there, she came, Hunted and left dust. not even leaving a meal for Cymarron. no eyes, not flesh. But her Hunt alarmed the Prey. they called for spirit users to come and purge their fears."
He growled again at the female, flexing his claws.
"The Ancestors had Cymarron leave, becuase the spirit users would certainly think him the Hunter they sought. the winged one had come and gone. and Cymarron was forced to leave his home for her actions."
His tail lashed violently back and forth, the blade still held in it slice the air with a menacing sound.
"Cymarron has the right to Hunt this one, and make sure that his future home will be safe from any further problems with this female's disreguard for the territory of others."

"Guilt Aurahkah? Choose now if you want to feel hate or joy in the horrors you put on others... But I wont commit the same sin. You will die easily enough, if I can help it. Maybe you wont even die. Either way, I wont face those looks you mention, I probably wont live past tonight. Never for one day here did I believe I had escaped condemnation, I was just putting it off. To be honest, right now Id rather still just go down to the kitchen and cook..." He bolted towards her again, his thick talons slashing down across the room and gashing at even the wall beyond her while in his second hand a new weapon forged into place. A small obsidian looking dagger, dark as the hate he felt for it all right now. Even the light of others was gone from sight.

"See? Evil! Smash it good!"
Rolling his eyes incesantly at them both, Calcryx settled into a comfortable position and pondered how to deal with Cymarron. "The 'winged' one hunted in your land. But hunt her and her pack hunts you. You can hunt here, become part of the pack and be protected or be hunted yourself. Our pack is strong. You choose." Naturally oblivious to what any of that really meant, Calcryx felt rather proud of his personal achievment here. He knew Idalla wouldnt like it if Cymarron agreed, so it made him smile. Of course he hadnt much thought about what would happen if Cymarron tried to attack anyways.
"Oh crap... Hey Cym was it? Why dont you go ahead and attack me?" She said with a big suspicious smile, honesly hoping at that he would just to see Caclryx flatten him. Last thing she wanted was a permanent stalker living around here.

Cymarron eyed the dragon warily. Dragons weren't known for making deals they weren't getting the way better end of the stick on. The dragon seemed rather pleased with itself.of course upon hearing his word, the winged female instantly prodded at him to come after her. She didn't want him around. and while he probably woudl not survive an encounter with the whole pack, there were some he was sure he could, and would be forced to kill. Bastet, Eclispe...the one he'd just seen, and the child tyler that was with her. he would not take pleasure in those Hunts. Besides, Her being miserably sick for the next few hours woudl be nice to watch, and as long as they shared a den, there was no worry of her destroying it.
"Cymarron will agree to stay with this new Pack."
His tail replaced his remaining dagger in his belt, and scribed a few runes in the dust, sure to give his new packmate the cramped up stomach ache from hell.

Picking Up Stars Vice Captain

Niah ran warm water in the tub and slowly undressed the small boy. She gently put his body in the water and used a rag to wash him. She talked to him the entire time not expecting him to answer back but she felt like he needed something soothing.
Tyler relaxed in the warm water and even found himself listening to what she was saying. She was talking about all the people in the place he was in. She had already met one of them adn it sounded like there were mostly grown-ups here. He relaxed under her touch and enjoyed his bath.
Niah finished bathing him and wrapped him a warm towel. She grabbed a shirt from her dresser and pulled it over him, then picked him up and walked back to the bed. She settled in with him and began to hum until his body went limp in her arms and his breathing evened out. He was asleep.
((damn church..sorry guys gotta go..))

Her other hand flashed back, grabbing out the other sai. She wasn't stupid, she knew full well that the weapons weren't going to do her much good. They could at least act as somewhat deflectors of....whatever Saradin truly had in his arsenal. And seemed this time, he meant to kill her. They didn't do much good, gold and metal seemingly easily bending to the strike it received, and earning her forearms pain followed by blood. Plans quickly turned over in her head, she would exhaust one source after the other, coming to the one she wanted to use least last...though it could potentially save her this trouble. But she wasn't going to wait to be pinned against the wall and if she kept hesitating she would find herself there. Aura had to set aside the carefully constructed barriers she had made. "Fine Saradin, if you wish to kill me...let's not waste time." Dropping one now ruined sai and one half ruined, it only had two of three appendages left, she pulled it up in offensive position, then sprinted into a run towards Saradin himself. It wasn't going to pan out like it did last time at all.

Saradin watched her wreckless assault and met it with precise reaction. his daggered hand clanged the half broken sai off to one side slgihtly, leaving the second prong on it to dig into the flesh of his palm lodging his knife, her said, and his hand into one tangled bloody mesh. "Then you stay to fight me alone?" His clawed hand batted at her, trying to fling her away like a rag-doll, his rage building at himself. "Eclipse... he will suffer from what youve done. There is no worse torment for me. You trapped his life to yourself."

"Excellent." In a pointlessly flashy plume of smoke that encompassed him and spread out around the entire area, Calcryx changed forms. Coughing at his own magical incarnation, he wafted it away from around him with a waving hand. Standing in human form now, looking rather old and wise, at least until he smiled stupidly.
Idalla was left to fall out of the air with a painful thud, but more entranced by her inflamed stomach. "GOD IT HURTS! You just couldnt kill it could you!? ERP!" She curled up into a ball on the ground beside him, kicking her legs to fight the pain away. "He's just going to kill me this way instead!"
"You deserve it from what I hear. Doesnt exactly matter to me, you suffer..." He bent down and lifted up her sickly form, slinging her rather carelessly over his surprisingly strong frame. "Now, lets get to those drinks shall we?"
"Oh for the love of god... no! My stomach is killing me!"

Of course his strength was greater than hers, especially now when he seemed so wrapped up in apparent hate. Simple batting of his hand felt like a well aimed punch, and she slammed sideways into the wall, one hand coming up to grip at the pain that shot up her arm. No doubt that arm was broken. Aura gritted her teeth, and turned to her second source. "Saradin Phoenix...you take the name he gave you and dash it, yet you claim it pains you to bring harm to him. You're the one using him as a sacrificial lamb Saradin!"
Eclipse yelped as he felt pain shoot from shoulder down. As if someone had just taken a steal toed boot harshly to the fragile bones there. Ears dropped back as he slid off the couch, lost in confusion for a moment. Blood was now making itself visible on his fur. "Aurahkah..."
"Daddy?" Sliding off the couch herself, she stood there, book hanging out of one hand, bright dual colored eyes clearly showing concern."
He growled. "Stay here." Despite broken leg, he ran. A split second he was gone and then standing at the far end of the hallway, staring upon a sight he rather not see, where his loyalties heavily lay.
"Eclipse will suffer from what you've done." She then nodded her head and glanced her eyes behind Saradin, making the action easy to follow as a marker of indication towards what now faced Saradin as well as herself. "There's you lamb now. Why don't you slaughter it now to keep it from the pain you cause me?"

"Listen to your words even now Aurahkah. So much bitter contempt and hate in your every syllable. I dont know why I never looked through it before, but hope blinded me. Youre being judged even now, do you realize how youve even provoked me until now? Some part of you has waited for this, knew it coming as well as I should have been able. People with power never learned to use it correctly, and Im no better. How well does Eclipse know what youve done? I tell you again that it all ends today, nothing will last, our time is over." His eyes slipped between both Eclipse and Aurah, not sure where the results of this battle would be found. Tightening his bleeding grip around the knife he carried and clenching the clawish fist tight, remnant blood still oozing from broken flesh, Saradin watched still unsure how to proceed under the eyes of Eclipse.

"He's knows it all Saradin. Who do you think struck the deal of the fight?" She pulled herself from the wall, watching Saradin carefully. Funny. He seemed almost hesitant to Eclipse's arrival. The question kept repeating itself in the back of her mind. Would he really bring himself to sacrifice the creature he held so dear?
The fur on his back rose, as well as a feral growl from his throat as his teeth bared themselves and ears pinned themselves back. Sharp claws extended slightly as he lowered his head a little. "Saradin Phoenix...asking you what you are doing would be pointless, for I can see it myself." No matter how long his loyalty was to Saradin, he still had something greater in mind. Self Preservation. He started forward, the pain he was feeling being drowned out. Sharp claws clicked almost innocently on the marble flooring as he gave a snort. "I ask you once Saradin PHoenix...give me a reason not to rip you apart...for I would regret having to do so to a friend."

"I can give you none. But you or another it doesnt matter. Id much prefer to accomplish something with my end. Whatever that may be. So, you may stop calling me pheonix, there will be no resurrection. The firey bird had its ashes spread one day, it can never come back from its oceanic grave." Power rippled through his body, this was the end all, one he had never seen coming but the end none the less. Only if he won would there be the finale, so win he must. "Protecting oneself is all that really matters in the end isnt it? No one else matters beyond ourselves."

"You're simple minded if you think that then, drowned phoenix." No more than a foot away the wolf stood from him, posture unwavering and no fear in his azure eyes, only what seemed to be regret, as he stared at him for hours that were really mere seconds. "Who says death will come from my jaws unto you?" In quick reflex he leaped up, using speed to advantage to at least knock him down, both physically and metaphorically. His jaws snapped down on the clawed arm's wrist and Eclipse had to resist the urge to let go at the taste. "Do not make me do this."
A new weapon in hand now, simple dagger she had pulled from it's concealed place on her person. "Reasoning is foolish Eclipse." Harsh words for him to hear she knew it. To Eclipse, Saradin was a comfort. Someone who understood the very darkness they were made of. And all she could hear over the link she shared was the mournful howl of a wolf who was being forced by his own action of defense to bring pain to one he loved so dearly. She had to bite her tongue from calling out both and order to kill the man, and to back off of him.
