Meara~female~Kelpairi

Eyes narrowed she did as she was told and approached the rather large group of kelpari. " Excuse me." She said trying to crane her head about the growing number of bodies. "I said excuse me." she repeated a bit louder though there was still too many to be heard over. "EXCUSE ME!" She was shouting over them now as she stamped a foot on the ground. Slowly the group died down enough to for her to ask over them. "Thank you, now which one of you is Yal?"

"Oh I'll be as careful as can be." With that he gave her a slight wink as he again dove off into the water. Not long after he returned to the shore with three fish clasped in his jaw. " Now ain't this somethin'! We goin' to be needin' a lot more tharn just these few fish to be feein' all of them mouths." He said panting as he spit the fish out on the shore. "At ta rate thin's be goin' we goin' to be need a LOT more tharn just a few wee fish."

"I am." Yal said. He knew he might stand out slightly. He looked at who was asking for him. He didn't act surprised though He was slightly surprised.

Amethyst opened her eyes and looked at Yal confused. She could tell that he was alarmed by something.She wished Raka was here but he wasn't. He was probably upset. She wished she could have done something. She laid down and sighed. She saw something from the corner of her eye. It was that male ryori again. She stood up and glared at him. She was never going to trust ryori.

Metal didn't expect to get glared at but he was. The mare seemed pretty mad. He slipped back into the shadows. He went to find Mermydon. He was being followed by Grim Rose and his daughter Sagetri. She was young still but she was strong. She paused slightly then closed her eyes. She sometimes had visions and had to be dragged along. Grim Rose guided Sagetri. She knew her child had inherited Anage's Power. It would not help surviving well but Sagetri seemed more aware of her surroundings than most. It was like the power had made her blind and enhanced her senses. "I don't need help mom." Sagetri complained. "I can walk by myself." She said as she dodged a root that might have tripped her. She opened her eyes and looked at Grim Rose. She smiled. "I want to be a guard when I am older and done traveling." Sagetri said. Metal looked at his daughter.

The prince gently applied his skills to the strange stallion. Meara had already done the real work on the exterior and thankfully there wasn't to much seriously wrong inside from what he could sense. It was easy enough that he could keep his wits about his surroundings. He felt some sympathy for Meara, the others weren't really regarding her with the respect that she probably deserved; then again she hadn't made much effort to get to know anyone yet. Mermydon's efforts were diplomatic at best and not exactly personable for a mare whose lived in a wild school. She had some behaviours that seemed nomadic, but ideas that were almost like a tamed sylestie that's been infected with humanistic ideas. But he laughed that particular thought off. A tamed kelparie? What a barbaric thought! Meara just needed time to get comfortable with the others. Perhaps Prince Akega would be of service there, since like her, he's been a little distant with anyone other than Raka, even his own sister. But so much has happened since the sun rose today, who could possibly make time to make acquaintances, let alone friends or companions. As for himself he would appreciate a little private time with Princess Kanakwella. She was so very shy and was convinced that, perhaps, if they got away privately for a swim or maybe a bathe in the cascade, she would let her guard down a little bit and share what she was thinking and feeling, about her situation, about this betrothal, maybe even about them, if there was a future there. These were fun and interesting things to let his mind drift on while he waited for the fishes to arrive and help in healing this injured stallion. He hadn't forgotten about Amethyst, Yal, Uryi and Raka. But those were more family matters than royal matters and when next he saw Raka, he would be sure to let him and Yal determine how to set things straight, and right, with Amethyst. He imagined Dhuka was still dozing away, there wasn't much that would disturb that morkko once she put her mind to something. Amara and Smit were two polar opposites that probably complemented one another. He just hoped they would settle their pack order before they got back with the others.

[ "I don't need help Mom. I can walk by myself." ]

His ears twitched and made him turn his head in the direction of the sound. It was a new voice but somehow familiar. He didn't have to guess long since everything pointed to the nearby shadows. "Shadow melding only works well when you stay quiet ryori child. Be thankful I haven't the talent of my eldest sister. I've seen her banish the shadows with one invocation of her pearl horn."

Not long after, a strong outward gust from the island pushed the air out onto the mainland. It mussed up his mane but otherwise didn't seem like much more yet.

Sagetri jumped in shock. She appeared and looked at the stallion. "Who are you?" Sagetri asked. Her parents appeared beside her. Sagetri approached the stallion not afraid. She didn't understand it. Who was he? Why did his presence feel so familiar? Was it tied to the orb Grim Rose held all the time? She studied the stallion but then jumped back as she saw her vision go black until she saw something. She saw Ryori fighting and she forced herself to present. She hoped he didn't realize anything about her. She didn't want to explain. It was going to be too hard to explain. She looked at her mother who was strangely happy. Was he something special? Why? She didn't want to admit to herself that she wanted to know.

Grim Rose acknowledged Mermydon. She could hear her daughter's thoughts. She knew that her daughter found Mermydon strange. She smiled. Metal looked at her like she was crazy and of course he thought that! He didn't understand it. She couldn't bring herself to tell him how she longed for adventure but soon she picked up Mermydon's thoughts. It was almost natural like when she got close to some creature their thoughts were voices she could then always pick up when close enough to that creature.

Raka stood stock still as he stared at the ethereal woman. Experience told him to fear her but, for some reason he didn't. In fact he found himself to possess a great deal of respect for the woman. Just as he was about to make a move the woman spoke, or at least she did something akin to speaking. Her words seemed to enter his body through his very bones, humming through his whole body.

It is good to see you again brother. Though I am not sure whether to be proud or saddened that you have finally moved on from our birth realm.

Raka was taken aback by what she said. Brother? Birth realm?

Ah, forgive me. I was speaking to your other half. I am sorry to have been so crude but I can not allow either of you to come any nearer to the orb, for you both possess elemental power. Not only might you risk unbalancing the order of this realm, but you would most likely die even if the rest of the world remained un damaged. You see, this orb has certain... powers.

Raka was beyond baffled but, some part of him seemed to understand. He could feel the orb's power from here and though it was a benevolent power he could sense that it would not react well with his own.

Well now, I would suggest you take your companion away from this place. Farewell Deidriel, and may the spirit Aer grant you strength on your journey.

And with that, she was gone. Without a moments hesitation Raka gently lifted Amara onto his back and returned to the water a great deal more mellow than he had been upon his arrival.

"Good if you would please come with me so that I can properly examine you." The mare said sweetly. To be honest she wasn't the biggest fan of this large group there was too many bodies all moving about and it seemed that more and more just kept comeing out from the wood works. The only one that was sparking any of her interest was the injured stallion though she simply wanted to know who he was.

Smit~ male~ Zolnixi

He never relize the female vixon was gone as he dove again and again catching more and more fish before he collapsed on the shore in a panting heep. Now he just had to get them all back to the camp.

Yal nodded. He didn't mind it at all. He looked behind him. Uryi sat down. She didn't like it. She hated trying to tell this male Rake something that he didn't believe was true. She swam impatiently. Her patience to tolerate others had dissipated over the years. She got out of the water and turned into a luffox. She sat there waiting. She closed her eyes. No one had seen her castle because it was far away. She hadn't told anyone how young she had been when she had traveled here. She had been held captive for so long. At least now she had Yal back right?

The stallion prince was very glad to see Grim Rose and her daughter, he could sense a little of his light in Sagitri. A strange name, though he didn't really understand why he knew it, he just remembered his eldest sister telling him that was how it was when to souls merged. He lowered his head and stretched his nose out to touch his to hers. ~I suppose the easy answer,~ he thought concentrated toward her and Grim Rose, ~is that I am your godsire. I am Prince Mermydon Pearlbeam of Shaledon, and your mother holds one of my life orbs which she was in possession of when you were conceived, and I suspect has some connection to you, Sagitri.~ He would never be able to speak her name aloud, because he only knew it subconsciously. ~I imagine that you could sense the light within you if you concentrated enough.~ He thought suggested to her, then he physically winked at Grim Rose. He expected Metal was not far away, he just hadn't noticed him yet. The wounded stallion was still not coming to so Mermydon was beginning to wonder when that school of fish would be arriving?

"It's nice to meet you......." Sagetri said. "I never knew this would happen nor I believe Grim Rose believes it. I am definitely Sagetri and I am descendant of Anage the once great leader of the shadow realm. I am guessing my mother never told you anything. She has been known to keep secrets. But somehow...... I know I can trust you." She looked at Mermydon. Was this caused by the orb? How was it possible? Was it because she always somehow was given the orb when she was young? Was it because she had played with the orb? What was going on? Metal watched his child in shock.

Grim Rose didn't like the thoughts that ran through her daughter's head. Though Mermydon's words had shocked her. She was more concerned for her daughter than anything. Metal then heard some ryori from far off. He went to go investigate. He then found a young ryori that kept calling out for someone named Uryi. He confronted the young ryori. "Who is this Uryi your calling for?" Metal asked.
