"It's too late for that. He had his chance, now he has to pay for it." Shadir said. "First he tried to take our things now he has threatened our brothers and sisters. He must be stopped."

"What if we were to split up? We all could go hunt him down and a group could go back and warn the others. Wait." Alhena said counting them. "Where is Seth and Yatahammal?"

"How far do you want this to go?" Yatahammal asked panting some. "Like nothing more than this or...?" He asked not really for sure.

Violet sighed. "I'll go back an warn the the others." she volunteered. To tell the truth she just didn't want to be the one to stop his heart.

Gabriel was quiet. She would do what she needed but she didn't need to like it.

"As far as you want," he purred. "'but if we stop I expect you to go a little further next time."

"Alright, but you should take someone with you." Shadir said. "Rasul, you should think of leaving as well. He may come here to find us. I would rather not lose you in this fight."

"I can hold my own." Rasul growled. "But I will go nonetheless."

Alhena sighed thinking. "Did any of you see the other two? I hope they didn't get into trouble..."

"Then let's go all the way, to save from holding secrets..." Yatahammal breathed. "You led, you seem to be the more confident one...."

"you can come with me if you want Rasul, as long as you don't slow me down." sad violet.

Gabriel had nothing to say.

Seth smirked and pressed him into a convenient pile of pillows. They were dusty and a bit moth eaten but they would do well enough. he kissed him again, "good choice."

and~ fade to black

"I promise I won't." Rasul said picking Shamea up and putting her on his shoulder. "Shall we leave then?"

Shadir was starting to pace. "Alright...we need to rest and plan, then go into action tomorrow morning. Does that sound good?"

Alhena wasn't listening she was already out searching for Yatahammal and Seth. "If I were them where would I hide?" She asked her sylesti. He meowed looking up as A bird passed over. "That's Yatahammal's bird past overhead. "He must be in that abandoned building..." She said climbing over and looking inside. The color drained from her face as she say what they were doing. "Perhaps it's better if we leave them to it then..." She said a bit loudly.

"Sadly that's no a luxury we. Rasul, (whatever her pet is named) we have no time to loose. I'll see you all, well as soon as I can." She said and started gathering her things.

Gabriel took this as her chance to go to sleep.

Seth's ears twitched. "God above, I know you hate me but couldn't have let me have this? just once?" he muttered then sighed, "What do you want Alhena."

(offially giving him the special skill of better hearing.)

(we should ad this to the first page, with the ships, what their skills. are. like Gabe and her climbing. *looking for original character thread.*)

(suggest we add a link to the sign up to the first post as well.

Edit: forgot the link and brackets. *face palms*

Rasul looked at her. "What do you mean by that?" He asked.

"Sleep yes, we need that...." Shadir told himself. He sighed and followed Gaberiel taking his turn on watch first. You could never be too careful.

Alhena paled more staying quiet. Maybe he would forget about her being there? They did seem to be in the middle of something. Or she could just leave, maybe they wouldn't ask her about it later. But she would have to climb down, she hated climbing down...she didn't like how it made her feel not being able to see where she was going. It was that or nothing though right? Quietly she began to climb down trying not to disturb them any more than she had.

"Did you hear something?" Yatahammal panted. "I didn't hear anything..." He pulled Seth closer so they could continue. "Let's just get back to it alright? This may be the only time we get to be together..."

(Good idea. I updated the ships as well.)

(I did post, but then my wifi cut out, then broke for 3 days.)

"With news like this they may want to keep us there to help defend, or you know they'll blame us for bringing him to our stronghold. Either way this may be good bye." she said, looking sad now that she had though about it.

Seth nodded and purr into his ear, "Alright but I'll promise you one thing, this will not be the last time, even if it kills me I will have you again."
He made a mental note to confront the eavesdropping girl later and returned to his work

"Most likely yes but Altar will understand, he will not keep us if the others need our help. He is very understanding." Rasul said.

"Then this is goodbye till we meet again wherever we meet again." Shadir said. "Safe travels...."

Alhena walked back to the bureau still pale in the face. "How could you do that? I mean there's no benefit from it..."
