Shadow struggled against the hunters. They tried to calm her down but they couldn't. Shadow screamed in anger. She knew they would have to kill her now before she caused any trouble.

~Nights~

Carefully nights snuck up behind the hunters and leapt up at them. There were only two so it wasn't too difficult to use her smoke to choke them, she didn't have enough power to kill them this way but it was enough to render them unconscious long enough for her to work the other ryori free.
With a quick flick of her tail to signal the other ryori to follow, nights dashed off back to the tunnels.

Ase~
He hadn't answered. Was he a very at her? "We don't have to move, I mean we can always just block the tunnel off." She said in a hope to get a response.

Altair-
He lay next to his mate clearly content with having her at his side. Even through he getting hurt today he could see the power she held. In all honesty he was glade she was on their side. Their love had blossomed and thanks to this experience she had agreed to be his mate. Just as soon as she was healthy again.

~Theon~

Theon had been contemplating their options when Ase spoke again. "You say these tunnels are quite extensive, how well does this man know them?"
It had been quite some time since Ase had parted with this person and there was a good chance that in that time she had been able to explore more of these tunnels. Perhaps they could search the tunnels for a place further away and then simply move there and block off this section. It was one option anyways.

Shadow followed weak. Her efforts had weakened her. She felt dizzy.

Ase~
"I don't know, I mean I don't think he knows them but there is always a possibility." She said pouring the tea up as she thought.

~Theon~

"I was thinking we could move to a different section of the tunnels and block of this section, maybe just collapse it all in. It would be best to relocate to somewhere without an exit and just dig a new one, that way he'll have a harder time finding you."

~Nights~

Nights walked next to the other ryori allowing her to lean against her for support. As they came within view of the two kits it turned out that they had made their way all the way towards where master was and we're hiding in the shadows.

"Dark...." Shadow said. "Wisp! Are you guys okay?" She went up to her kits. She licked Dark's head.

Ase~
"We could do that, but not today. I'm tired and frankly I con't think I can do much work like this." She said holding her side. With that she handed him the cup of tea. "Here you go, a fresh cup of honey berry tea!"

Wisp~
she rubbed against her mother happy that she was alright.

"Who are the humans?" Shadow asked the new ryori who had helped her. She knew the humans hadn't seen her or heard her.
