Amethyst nodded and she smiled. What am I feeling? Was he feeling something strange as well? No he couldn't be....... She thought And I can't fall in love or I will only be letting others down. She still knew she felt something for him but if he felt the same it wasn't her choice if he wanted her to be his mate. But then she shook her head wondering why she was thinking that.

Meara~female~Keplari

Slowly on shaking hooves she stood. "I'm sorry I couldn't do more." She apologized weakly. Even in this big of a herd she felt as if she wasn't wanted by any of them, after all she had just gotten in the way.

Then Amethyst thought of her siblings and sat down. She felt like crying. She had been trying to forget but thinking of taking care of someone or someone taking care of her just brought back the horrible memories. She in her head she replayed her brother falling into the river and she shuddered. She turned away. She didn't want to see anyone notice her pain.

Kanakwella seen a figure much like herself in the water but male "it couldn't be" she said heroine palmed her face "oh great a family reunion just what we NEED!"

And just like that, it came to him the one who had said those words to him so impossibly long ago. A face, a voice, a name...

Sienna...Mother...

Raka slipped away into a long forgotten memory...

"Listen well Driel, today is very important okay? Today you are going to meet the prince it's very important that nobles like us show respect tho all members of the royal family. And so we..."
"We bow to the royals." The little colt demonstrated the technique to his mother with a proud smile...

Raka barely had time to recover from his slip of consciousness when He arrived.

Amethyst watched him. She was slightly worried as the memory of her brother was still fresh in her mind. She felt strange. Was she really in love with this stallion? Had she found feeling she never wish she would have to feel again? Yes she had she was sure of it. She almost collapsed as feelings rushed over her.

He chuckled at Grim Rose's astonishment. The life orbitself should've told her by itself that he was acreature of light, and when invoked senses all of the lifeforces around it, for that was what agave him his abilities. "Keep my orb safe Grim, you now have the power to tell me when I am needed ashore. Metal, in those times, you must guard her and your kitten well, hold until I arrive. I shant be far away." He was taking a great risk leaving his life orb with the ryori, but something told him they may need that light in otherwise dark places one day. Dhuka's offer of foraging was welcome to Mermydon'e ears. "I think that would be a great idea. He replied to Dhuka as he drained the last of the water sprite's life forces and focused them into healing her paw.Amara, would you mind if our Lady Morkko goes with you to forage? This is her home and would be valuable advice for your foraging. I'm sure she will be good company so do try to get to know one another." He suggested as he gave them a smile and a positive tone to his belief in their abilities. Now that those things were settled he could focus on his little school of citizens and there apparent fluctuations of drama cluttering up the lateral lines. Honestly, you'd think they'd been spending all of their lives in the presence of those repulsive humans! But his thought on that was stayed by Kanakwella's exclamation and Raka's subsequent bowing. He could see this would need to be addressed first. The familiarity they had with the new comer told him what he needed to know, the Prince of Hallenjax had appeared and his reputation in history was known. He stepped in between Kanakwella and Raka to address both of them. "Go to your brother Kanakwella, he may need your help or needs to know you are safe." Then he stomped a hoof to get Raka's attention. "You're bowing to the wrong prince in this lake Raka. Come now, rise up and help the princess retrieve him, you might be a familiar face that keeps his head cool. And when you get back talk out your issues with Amethyst or service her, either way it will take care of your two-left hooves on the matter... Amethyst could hear every word of what he just said. And good job Kip, you do your species proud." Amethyst could already tell Mermydon was going to address her next, and this prince wasn't going to hold back. "You two will have plenty of time to talk to one another tonight. My advice might not buy you a kelp leaf, but you aren't going to learn anymore lessons from that past that's holding you back. It's just robbing you of a future that is right here in front of you. Get some lake mud under you toe and talk to that guy. Your a grown mare who's already earned the right to claim his service. If you want it you simply have to demand it of him, then decide if you want to stay for him to draw more foals from between your hooves." He didn't wait for her reply, he spun on Meara and marched himself into her personal space and was eye to eye with her, he had a firm disposition but a warm welcoming face greeted her. "Who are you to look down on your own good works, hmm? Look all around the lake. Only two mares came to my aid, you are helf the reinforcement I could get. All of the other kelparie in Tranquility are either dead or frightened, but you had the courage to step up. The only person that thinks you don't belong here is you. And if that's what you really want then lead me into the lake and I shall pay you my services personally and you can be on your merry way to raise up a foal as you see fit, it's the only offer I can give to you, at least until I can return the favor in kind. So I'd rather you stay around so I have the chance to settle with you, but you'll be welcome to stay after if you choose." Now that he had his say about all of the drama he looked to Heroine. "Now that those two are busy," he virtually glared at Heroine talking about Kanakwella, her brother and Raka, "How about you tell me the truth about their relationship to one another, so I don't swim us upstream to slip my neck in a noose for war crimes I wasn't even hatched to commit."
