Jason's wings slumped and his head lowered as well,tail curling close. Fatespeaker seemed just as shocked as her shivering brother but acted much more mature than him as he cried a bit. He didn't seem to like death or fights.

(I'll be back,just have to eat real quick.)

(Okay)

Puck shook himself, giving Jason a humorless grin. "Let's find out." They didn't have to search far. Only a few minutes into the wyldwood, the trees curled away, and they stumbled onto a familiar patch of dead ground in the middle of the forest. An entire swath of forest was sickened and dying, trees twisted into strange metal parodies. Metal lampposts grew out of the ground, bent over and flickering erratically. Wires crawled over roots and trunks, choking trees and vegetation like red and black creeper vines. The air smelled of copper and decay.

Jason clenched his fists and growled softly as Shade shivered and Fatespeaker backed up and,for once,hid behind Pucks legs away from the horrid scene. "Iron fey." Jason muttered,walking forward and looking around the place,shaking his head. "This is similar to how it looked in the Iron Kingdom. Smells almost as bad too." He muttered,flying a bit around the light post for a moment before landing.

"It's spreading," Puck muttered, holding his sleeve to his face as the metallic breeze ruffled Jason's hair and clothes. "This wasn't here a few months ago." He turned to him. "I thought you said you killed the Iron King."

Jason angled his wings to block the breeze from Puck as he came back over. "We did,but with "the new iron king",the Iron Faey are rising up and it doesn't look like anythings going to be effected because of the fall of a king." He said,shaking his head as he ran a hand quickly through that rich brown hair,the green dyed tips fading to reveal the natural color underneath. His hair faded from a very creamy white to the rich brown,an effect from being half dragon.

Puck's eyes narrowed. "Another one? You sort of failed to mention that before." Shaking his head, he scanned the wasted area and sighed. "Another Iron King. Darn it, how many of them are we going to have to kill? Are they going to keep popping up like rats?"

"No,the thing is....it's not just anyone....it's sorta Ash's brother,Rowen." He explained,Fatespeaker rubbing against Pucks legs a bit and Shade now cuddled in Jason's hoodie pocket,his shape making the green and crimson stained fabric bulge.

Puck was completely lost. "What? We can't do anything about it now. Let's get you home."

Jason sighed,fiddling a bit with his fading green dyed tips. "Things are ganna get worse,we can't just go and walk past this." He said,he wasn't used to doing that. He was used to taking action,used to doing what needed to be done,because it gave him a reason to live and something to do rather than run for his life just because...well...because! His tail twitched a bit and he swallowed hard,the cracks along his neck rippling with the soft sound of clinking glass.

He just grinned. "You've done enough. I think you deserve to go home after everything you went through. Heck, you already took care of one Iron King. The Nevernever will be fine, trust me." What about the scepter? And the war...
