*Talon*

I am laying on the ground, panting, my breathing ragged and uneven. I can't quite recall how I fell but when I try to raise my head the world seems to spin around me. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, deciding to wait it out. When my breathing returns to almost normal I pull myself up into a sitting position. Grooming my matted pelt, I am painfully aware of almost all my bones, and my stomach growls weakly. I'll just sit here until I get a bit of strength and then I'll go hunting...

Dew just looked up with sad eyes and walked away from Chronos and Arcio.

Sibera trotted behind him as the walked her claws flexing as they ruffled the soil as she stayed deadly quite, not that she spoke much anyhow, but she had almost hit her limit of interaction for the day, and killing him did sound easier than walking at the ready the whole way back. But she was determined to give the new queen what she wished, after all her mind had already maneuvered this game of chess since they left the cave.

Delinqua walked behind them, blue eyes shining. Her tail swished side to side and she stepped perfectly, one paw in front of the other. She was a showkitten at one point, but gave up that life after getting her piercings. She took the climb down slowly, careful not to get her claws or pelt dusty from the scattered loose stones.

Taboo listened to the deadly quiet sounds of the surroundings, he was used to cats sneaking up on him, but stone made it easier for claws clicked when they were unsheathed.

Sibera ushered him into the cave before letting Delinqua pass in a respectful manner into the tunnels leading to the caverns staying silent. the cool of the shade given by the tunnels making the air wafting through much colder.

"Honestly, I think you've gotten your Spirits wrong, from what I gather, a Broken spirit is one who has refused to join your Tribe, but I have simply postponed my answer until a while later," Taboo said, praying that he was not to be killed by the cannibal cats he was being taken by, if he'd want to save his life he'd have to join them or perhaps escape, a highly unlikely chance given the determination of the Queen and their minion.

Chronos gave a cold look at Delinqua as she entered. "Hi." He said flatly. "Don't order me around. If you want the guard so badly replaced, why don't you do it yourself?" He turned his head to the other cat. "And who is this newcomer, may I ask?"
