Broog was quiet for a moment, and looked almost on the verge of tears again. He tried to show the collar off once more, then just slumped his shoulders and put it back in the trunk. but of course, with simple minds, he slipped form that to a smile as he pulled out neckalces and rings and bracelets of varying styles and metals, from gold to mithril.
"these shinies not like collars, think da pretty ladie want one?"
He then pulled out a tool that looked like a cross between a pair of pliers and a syringe, and deftly latched onto Cymarron's collar, the needle looking peice seeming to catch a latch or keylock. there was a smell of some kind of fluid, and the collar made a searing and clicking sound, coming off neatly in the pliers.
"Collar gone. What's you want's broog to do wit it?"

He nodded, satisfied. "Why not melt it down and make it into another pretty shiny thing? I'm sure you would enjoy that." Then he looked to the things that Broog has pulled out as more supposed gifts. He licked his muzzle like a human would lick their lips in greedy fashion. "How about this, you pick out your favorites for us, er her. A present from you would sure mean a lot." He nodded again. Broog was a rather easy creature to get along with.
Aura's expression softened all the more as she saw the collar pulled of Cymarron. It was a feeling of relief. More importantly, she just hoped the feline would be alright. All he needed was to be home.

Nelphean stood up, and walked behind Aurahkah and surved the room... Watching for enemies to smite... He was feeling very despondent and pitiful...
In a few hours, he had discovered many things...
But the last one had completely destroyed his spirit in a way that only hell would have planed... One last eternal torture...

Broog plopped himself on the floor, digging through his trunk, looking for his favorite non collar shinies. Cymarron's collar was throw into the bottom of the trunk, and he came out with several golden items. one was a ring with a diamond in it that was big enough you coudl use the ring to cut glass, with two saphires alongside. one was a necklace in a fishscale pattern, with mother of pearls embedded in it, and the third was a set of armlets that were finely detailed dragons with emerald eyes.
"Des are Broogs Favorites. Master gave these to Da first harem girl, for she gots eaten by Drud. Drud wanted the shinies too. but the Master got rid of Drud after dat."

Back in the manor...
Kellenedel ran as fast as he could back to his friends, "Hey, Nelpehan is locked in his room for a few hours... Lets go get drunk at his place!"
Xail shook his head, "Taria and Sylphina would not like that."
Rain looked at Xail, and understood what he said for once... "Xail, when did you learn Earth elf?"
Xail shruged, "Haven't you ever spontaneous understood the words of every spoken creature under the sun or moon instantly before?"
Kellendel smiled, "See, I told you that is what that dream meant... That means you are almost an Archon." The elf smiled... "Now how to train you to get to that level of expertise..." He looked about... No one around was powerful enought to train with Xail, Kellendel wasn't as powerful, and Rain was just a guy with a gun...
"Nelphean probably could..." Rain offered, but laughed as the elf was trapped in his room. "How did he get trapped?"
"His lady friend pushed him in without speaking the password." Kellendel laughed, "Now his defensive spells are active, and can't be reset because he need to rest for at least two more hours before his body is capable of casting again..." Kellendel laughed, as did the other two.. Until Sylphina walked up behind him, which ended the laughter of Rain and Xail... "What..." Kellendel turned around, and looked at Sylphina, who did not look overly impressed. "Uh...Crap." Kellendel jumped and hide behind his body guard. "Xail, you tell her."
Xail looked into the girls eyes and almost cried, she was a terror when she wanted to be, growing up with the beasts in the darkest of forests... "Hi..." He waved his fingers... "Nelphean is trapped in his room with his lady friend." He stood up straight, and awaited her punishment. She was over protective of her father now... Even challenged Ke'Nel over him...
Sylphina laughed, "Oh." And walked away and out the door, to her awaiting friend. Snow was happy to see her, and was more so when the shoe was reattached.

Ke'Nel walked with Taria and Aurora, watchig the birds in the distance dance about in the air... He longed for that freedom, something he felt was to far from his grasp... "Dear sweet sisters, do you think we shall ever find peace?"
"Yes." Aurora said as she felt Nelphean's warmth for Bastet. "I think we may even find more than that." She barked.
"You have grown since we meet, Aurora..." Ke'Nel laughed, remembering the bumbling wolf he first meet all those weeks ago, "You seemed to hit maturity well..."
"Now all we have to do is wait for dad to reach it." Taria said quietly, she felt very sore, and was still confused about what she saw... Ke'Nel had explained that he saw Nelphean still fighting the pit fiends when Taria was thrown through the window, but after that he was too busy trying to fight the devils to keep an eye on him.
"Do you think father is still a monster?"
"Yes, he is." Ke'Nel laughed, meaning something he rather not tell Taria. "You seem to be less your happy self, are you feeling ill?" He asked, with a very concerned voice. Ke'Nel had become Taria's and Sylphina's unofficial father when he was united with them, a tittle he really did not wish to drop. "What bothers my dear sister's heart?"
She shrugged. Her thoughts floated miles away, to her home... Her very unhappy home... "I don't know, I jsut don't feel like I belong here. Father is happy, Sylphina is happy, and you have never been happier, but I feel..."
"Lost, like a southern zephyr that has no course. You feel like that a major force in your life is missing, and you feel like you are fading into the dark without a chance of escaping it." Aurora interrupted. the conversation cooled, as those thoughts had entered everyone's mind... Without danger, life seemed... To long...
"With Nel, peace was never something he looked forward too, he always had a new fight to make, always a new enemy to overcome..."

Aura broke the tree lines, Eclipse walking beside her with Cymarron on his back, the other Nelphean in their company. She pulled the edges of her cloak closer together as a rather cold wind stirred up. She stopped as Eclipse was told to go on and put Cymarron down in the infirmary, so that he got well deserved rest. As the wolf disappeared inside, Aura stayed out, looking around. With the wind pickup she half expected to see Serino make an appearance. It wouldn't be unusual, he had been visiting a lot lately. Though he would only come by way of Kian's sending. And she had gotten everything from him. Instead of the Zephyr horse making an appearance however, only a few snow flakes made an appearance in the wind. If it wasn't rain, it was snow. She gave a sigh and rolled her eyes. Aura really hated the cold...that's what being desert born did she guessed. Then she looked over to Nelphean. "Again Nelphean...thank you for going with me."

Amidst the white dust that danced down from high above came what seemed a small object at first, but grew in size as it neared the white landscape below. Its wings flapped only once in a while as it descended, mostly drifting down on the drafts of a storm as it fell from the clouds. It was as blue as the sky, only seen against the backdrop of so many clouds that blotted out the beyond. A great bird, blue sparkling feathers trailing behind it before consumed of their own radiance. Close enough at last for it to fully be seen, it was that of legends, a fiery bird whos body and wings danced like fire only this one was stained as azure as that which it represented.
It circled the manor area twice as it dropped rapidly, then halted into a falling hover as its talons stretched out to the ground below it and it landed softly amidst the already forming layers of snow. Its head craned around to look at them all as they passed by in a group, standing shorter than any of them with a strange humble dignity. As its wing folded up around it, its eyes closed slowly as its fires grew in intensity. Soon, it became a blinding inferno for a minute till the fires died and the phoenix was nowhere to be seen. In its place stood a boy, maybe four feet tall at best, smiling innocently as he stood holding a full grown man in his arms like it was an easy task.

"You need not ask." Nelphean saw some of Rakka in Aurahkah. Nelphean looked at Rakka, and could not understand why she was thanking him, then he realised it was Aurahkah, someone else. "I guess I help because of someone you don't know."
Nelphean watched the light show. His face remained neutral.

A smile to Nelphean. "It doesn't really matter why you helped me, only that you did." She nodded to the elf, then the azure phoenix caught her attention...then the child holding a full grown man. She shook her head once...every time she came home these days...it got odder. Aura opened her mouth to say something, but nothing really came out and she turned to the child. "Um...hello there..."
Inside Eclipse was settling Cymarron. He watched the feline for a moment then nuzzled his forearm. "No more collar Cymarron." Then he turned and padded out, intended to sniff out his daughter...Gods knew she probably got into something or other. "Ecrara! Where did you get to?" He was promtly run into, and hugged. "Well at least you're easy to keep track of." With a soft bark he nuzzled her ears.

Nelphean followed Aurahkah, not having much else to do, not really have much else he wanted to do. He stood a friendly distance away from her, and remained ready for any potential threats, perhaps the boy would fight, perhaps not. It did not matter to Nelphean...

K?erith slowly ambled down the halls or corridors of the manor. He?d been staying concrete for quite a few days now, longer than he could remember doing for one period of time. Still he was held prisoner to the manor walls, bound to it on any plane or in any form. At the sound of tiny footsteps, he quickly became invisible.
''What are you worried about'' he thought to himself, ''You're no longer in hiding.''
He was about to reappear when a small child rushed around the corner. He examined her dark wolf?s ears and tail, much like Eclipses. That aside, she was the spitting image of Aurahkah. Eclipse suddenly came around the corner as well. the girl bumpd into the large wolf and hugged him tightly. Knowing that he couldn't try to hide from him, he appeared next to them.
''Hello Eclipse'' His empty, black eyes gleamed down at the girl in curiosity.

"Hello." The boy replied calmly, taking one step forward in the snow. "Aurahkah?" Was his next word, both of them to now had sounded like expressions of song, art, and joy condensed into single words as he spoke. And in his arms the man's head turned towards them, eyes closed as if he was resting peacfully now. Saradin. "He needs you."

Cymarron was laid in a bed, still in an apparent coma...his eyes open but vacant, on barely breathing enough to keep himself alive.
Broog put teh jewelry on Eclispe, but stayed behind. The MAster woudl be back, he was sure, and that ment that he woudl be needed to make lots of shinies to get the escapee's back in line. Brogg waved at them, picking up Malvolence off the floor, a swift change in his face to one of bloodlust and violence..before he put it in the Master's chair.

Eclipse stopped and looked up at K'erith. "Well look who it is...the manor bound one. How goes your days?" Then a tug to his tail and he looked to Ecara.
"Who's that?"
"This is K'erith. He's staying here as well." He then looked back to him. "I don't' believe you've met this little on yet. This is Ecara, my daughter."
Aura felt that feeling that she was going to faint again, much like when she had come back to find her manor in ruin a few days prior. The rest of the world practically drowned out as she looked at the man the boy held in his arms. "S-Saradin?" She shook her head in utter disbelief. "He's...dead..." Her eyes darted for a moment between the two before her. The her eyes took on a rather lost look to them...Saradin was dead, she had seen it happen... Approaching the pair she reached out a hand, but them drew it back as if afraid to touch him, or to know if it was all real. "Saradin..."
