((*cue "do you believe in magic?' song XDDDDDD*))
-she blinked, and the color returned to her face. she looked swiftly around at them all, then leaned against the wall once more, crossing her arms over her chest. she understood the sentence well enough to answer, but she didn't really have an answer. she was in limbo: believe it or not. Everything she had been raised with was just a cover-up of what really could happen..so many possibilities. If she'd have known about it...her parents may have made it...she blocked the thoughts about her parents again. This was deep. She had not encountered something like this for three years...
Finally she spoke, but not an answer-
Well...er...I guess...that's that. -she cast her eyes around the cavern, and decided it was time to get out of here- -slowly she backed up and out into the main cave, but stayed there, thinking about 'magic' once again. then she suddenly swung around and went deeper into the cave. she might as well pay her respects while she was here. she had a feeling she wouldnt return to this place in the future.-
-then a thought struck her. was that really the end? now that they had found the plant, would Kael and the foxes split? she didnt realize she had stopped walking, and stood in the dark. she had longed for human company for so long...and now she didn't want to give it up. slowly she turned around, forgetting about visiting her father's tomb, and went back to where the cave divided into the cavern. she took a deep breath, her mind made up, she said aloud to herself-
I...believe. -those were the two single most hard words she had ever spoken-

~Kera finally opened her eyes again, casting a wary glance around. Bane and Kael were both on their feet. The human girl was wandering in and out of the scene. And the spider was most definatly dead.
And they had gotten what they came for...~
'Our work here is done...'
~She spoke aloud, to both her mate and the boy, now feeling strong enough to continue on...~

-He nods to his mate and looks at Kael, searching his face for some clue on his feelings. But all he sees is a gaze directed in the area that Tibbs had left. He shrugs it off. He would figure it out sooner or later.
But right now, Kera was too right. They had come, gotten what they searched for, and now they needed to leave. They needed to return to Fire and finish their task. Bane sends Kael a look and he nods. Kael would fetch the female and they would leave.-
-He stares off after Tibb's leaves, a stunned look upon her face. He shrugs and goes after her, finally catching up to her where she stopped-
We leave -He says, obviously getting better at this verbal speaking thing.- We leave now.
-He seems in a hurry to leave. He grasps her wrist and pulls her along with him. Finally, after the foxes have joined them, they almost reach the sunlight, which is still acually, moonlight. He turns to her and answers her previous question.-
I am not from this world.

-she looked up into his eyes, breathing a bit hard. an uncertain smile played across her lips, was this guy joking?-
You...what?
-she was only blindly aware of the hawk landing on her shoulderblade. if this was a joke, it wasnt a very good one-

-He stares at her, at first as if she's stupid. did she not heasr him?-
I'm not from here. These plants don't grow in my world. My master needs them for a spell. A spell which will make him stronger for our upcoming war. We will have only a few more battles, they will be big. One will end this war, and he will fight in it. He says if we proform this task, we -he says, motioning to the foxes and himself- may fight with him.
-He says all this slowly and quietly, making sure he doesn't skip over anything or talk too fast so he has to repeat it. He was already betraying Fire, the one who had spared him, by telling the girl this much, but he did feel bad for her, in the very back of his mind. He felt bad she had to go through this and not understand- though he would not admit it, now or ever.-

-her smile faded as she understood that he was in fact, not, joking. She stared at her feet for a moment, realizing that what she had feared would really happen: she would be alone again.
she stroked Penter's breast feathers absentmindedly, and spoke again, trying her best to keep her voice to her usual uncaring tempo-
So you'll be going back to....your world....soon? -she hated herself for asking questions that she already knew the answer to, but nothing could be done about it. she reminded herself that after she found her horse and hawk a place to stay to throw herself into the river...-

Before daybreak -he says calmly, not reading the look on her eyes.
It had been too long since he's had any real human connection. He had spent the last year of his life with animals- dark animals, the kind he shouldn't have gotten mixed up with. But it was either join them or find his end by them.
And he wasn't about to give up all he had worked for that easily. So he left humans. Left them alltogether. He cannot understand them now, Tibbs doesn't seem normal anymore. She seems more like some thing of another species, that he tries and tries to understand, but never will.-
It's not too far from where we... er.. met. We were just going back to give up when we found you...
-He doesn't make eye contact, instead talking while he looks directly in front of him, pretending to be making sure they don't trip in any holes or anything of the sort.-
Why?

Oh..um...just curious. -she shot him a look, and then pointed her gaze ahead again. she didn't mention that she knew the path and that there were no holes nearby. she looked into the sky at the fading moonlight. she pondered his last few words. why is he telling me this again? she brushed it aside and sighed-
I hope everything goes as planned for you guys. -she thought At least I'd have contributed a bit. If I can't have what I want I might as well help people get what they want. She looked at the trees they were passing with feigned interest, just needing something to take her gaze away from the receding night time-

[-Little angel floats by Tibbs' right shoulder...- 'Just tell the boy yew love him, dear...' -Angel poofs-
I blame the chocolate. It's very seqsah food...]
~The ivory vixen trotted slowly behind the human pair; a steady pace that kept up her recovering energy without forcing her to trail behind.
Her graceful body moved with perfect rythme along the nightly scene; murky green eyes flickering every which way. Without knowing it, she found herself listening to the boy's conversation with the human female.
She rolled her eyes and looked to Bane for a moment, a clear 'what the hell is he thinking?' look flashing through her eyes. It wasn't part of the plan to spill their life's story to outsiders.
Kera sighed again. Soon they would be home. Then they would get there reward. And it would all be worth it...~

-He falls into sudden silence finally, not letting himself talk anymore for fear of revealing more plans.
The moonlight starts to fade but the sun was not yet joining the clouds to take it's place rightfully in the sky. It was that time when it was light enough to see your way around safely and not be spooked, but not nessicarily hot or particular busy. Most nocturnal animals were asleep for their 'night' and most diurnal creatures were not yet up to begin their morning.
This is Kael's favorite part of the whole 24 hour day, and he should know, he'd been awake for them all, sometimes for days in a row. He inhales powerfully with his large, healthy lungs, filling his chest with the crisp air, enjoying himself.
They finally reach their goal. A speare of solid granite just standing in the middle of nowhere. It's a miricle many hadn't found it before, but it had been enhanced. Unless you were looking for it, you couldn't find it.
He looks to the symbols etched onto the stone along the rim. He would have to activate those, and then walk through the portal, leaving Tibb's behind. He turns to her, signifying this is it.-
So... -he says, not quite sure what to say next.-

So...-Tibbs repeats after him, fidgeting around a bit. after a few moments of silence, she spoke again-
Maybe I'll see you around. -she seriously doubted every word she said, but the silence was annoying her. she picked at the cloth that bound her hand, devoting all attention to it. she didnt want to say goodbye, and she wouldnt. nobody could make her do otherwise anyway.-
(and LMAO!
Tibbs: -eyes shoulder where little angel thing had been. reminds self that angels dont exist.-
XDDDDD))

-He cocks his head at her and lets out the question he had been dying to ask forever-
How did your father die, Tibbs?

-her blood ran cold, the icy blue taking over the emerald of her eyes again. she hadn't expected such a question from Kael... Tibbs was never truly open on this subject. she drew her cloak tighter about her, and after a few moments of toying with it, answerred him-
It was poison...he was cutting wood one day. He took a step back and tripped over an uncut log, and landed on a spider's web. The spider bit him, but he didn't notice until he got back to where we were staying at the time and saw the swelling, blue fangmark on his shoulder. That small spider did him in...he got a fever that night, and he kept waking up in cold sweat while he tried to rest. I couldn't do anything for him but bring him water...and watch him die. -her thoughts flashed back to the huge spider previously encounterred, then back to her father- Eventually, near morning, he told me to take the horse and leave...he didnt want me to see him so weak and helpless... -not a tear fell now. she had relived this moment too many times.- That's how he died. -her thoughts: That's how the greatest father alive disappeared from the Earth...-
-her icy eyes did not water, though they were staring into space vaguely, as if she was entranced. Penter gave her a gentle beaktap and she startled back to reality once more. she drew the cloak even tighter around her frame-

[Oh, yew'd be surprised...]
~Kera stalked past the awkwardly conversing humans and sat down on the grass, facing the stone figment that would bring them home.
Her green eyes wandered up to Kael and she shot him a restless look urging the boy to get to the sappy good-bye already.
They had no further use for the girl. She'd been given too much information as it was...~

I don't know what happened to mine.. -he says thoughtfully, as though he were recalling where he left his favorite dagger the day before. Having never known the man, he could drag pictures from his mind on what the man might have looked like and not shed a single tear.
It was more like a game to him, now more than ever, since he had joined Fire.. and got a different outlook on life.
It wa slike he could make his own family up in his own mind. A sister, a brother, him, and two parents. They even had their own ferel dog. They lived in a small hut and everybody in the vill aloved them. It was like an on-going play. Or it had been. He stopped all that 'kid' stuff when he was young.-
What of your mom? -He asks, not realizing how painful this must be for her. He never really thought of his mother anymore, how could he. His mind, his body, and his very soul had been corrupted. He didn't feel pain except physical when he stepped on a thorn or something.
He didn't miss them because he had been brainwashed to not care. So it doesn't make much sense to him why Tibbs would so much.-
Why do you shed tears for them? They raised you. Their job is done. You're an adult. Why does it matter if they are gone? -He asks cluelessly-
