Lili let her gaze look over Silver, holding her tongue she sensed. All was not as he acted. Walking she started to put her hand to his shoulder but she stopped. Scared of what she might truely find, her inner insite could see things others could not. Looking at him.. is he harmed yet ? ~Storm has always jumped ahead of himself, but to be under a spell is normally not him. His powers of self are not easily duped. Her eyes lingered on Silver's almost daring him to tell her more.
  Turning she clasped her hands, thinking walking to and fro infront of her window. Turning she looked out and then back to him. ~I will await your return, please make haste and let us do what we must. Falling silent she listened, her heart running true . Her family was a main concern, but.. ... killing needlessly was something that she did not believe in and she knew Storm did not either. Some killed merely for the thrill and power. If Storm had not killed a target , something was up. Wether it was because  the truth was they were innocent or... something.. rubbing her head she knew .. something was not right. But she would go to him and see for herself.
  Bowing down she called to the elders and prayed for wisdom and truth.. and help. Help to do the right thing and make her family safe. She whispered.. ~let me be a servent to all things good and defie those that are set to trap us. Turning her gaze to the doorway she stood and waited.

Taking Lord Storm hand then placing his left hand there as well reviling the large tattoo of a black dragon that started at his wrist and ended on his shoulder.

Im  afraid i have found no such place and really have yet to look for it im lost not really knowing where we are or why the Gods would put us here. It is truly a mystery to me. but maybe one of the others can help us find a place to get food and drink.

Releasing storm's hand Rashia moved past him and on the Llewel.

While awaiting, she turned and quickly sat down to pin a letter. Carefully she wrote to her sister, using her words wisely. Something was up she could not yet grasp. Finishing it she walked to the door way and hailed a passing maid. ~Please see that this gets sent out at first light please. Turning she walked and sat at her desk, touching a small crystal hanging from her neck. Closing her eyes she calmly waited.

[align=justify:bf20238ef3]Had Ariana been one of the faithful to Pendragon? No, not exactly, however her heart had always been in the right place, despite the mischief running wild through her blood. How did she wake up here? Ariana did not know, only that where she had lain her head, it was not the same place where she had awoken from a strange dream where shadows led her by the hand only to show her the kindness never received whilst in the mists of Pendragon and Avalon.  They were unforgivable fools misguided by the acts of an even more guilty rulership under the lackadaisical ruling of the one named Myst of Pendragon. Usually Ariana was not one to hold grudges, but then when an entire kingdom rots because of the acts of just two persona’s, one cannot help that their blood boils over with a deep seated hatred.

Here she sat, eyes looking over her surroundings with a suspicious expression, it was the sidhe side of her that did not trust anything relayed before her eyes, maybe this one some act of rather brilliant illusionary magicks foreign to her knowledge; if that was at all possible? Her own magicks had been adapted from Merthynn Pendragon, having observed from a distance all the while not admiring, her method was flawed, leaving many instances for failure or backfire; perhaps that was why her luck seemed to dwindle like rain drops through fingers? Bah, Ariana didn’t care for the likes of those, perchance this new place was a chance to begin anew, start over without the taints pertaining to the likes of Pendragon, and the fools who hid beneath its crests. The truth had come out, they were not so virtuous after all… and just look how many beneath those draconian banners had been misguided?

Slowly Ariana stood up, brushing off the dirt and leaves from her crimson colored cloak guarding the leathers beneath, brown boots stained with the evidences of mud. Had she walked here herself while under the guidance of the Goddess? No answers manifested, and the more Ariana questioned herself, the more she became confused, frustrated at her ordeal. Where was she to go now? Where was even the nearest city or kingdom to seek shelter? Was this her punishment for being faithful even though in her heart she knew they were all nothing but lies? With a heavy heart Ariana walked on, hoping to find a kind soul to direct her on her path.[/align:bf20238ef3]

With the leaving of the one appearing to be Fiamma, a cloud lifted from the mind of Drak, his clarity of thought returning and he found himself momentarily at a loss. Opening his soul to reach across the vast distances between himself and Iffurn Saeghol, allowing himself to be cleansed from whatever confusion lay upon him by the potence of the mightiest of his race. A bow of the ancient hounds head in acknowledgement then a shimmering arising round his form, brighter and brighter, gleams of gold arising in vast power to force all to look away lest they find themselves blinded in the intensity. The sound of rolling thunder echoing across the landscape. The primordial effulgency of the dragonesque bellow blending within the sound of his shape change, reaching across the landscape and in its twisting symphony a tone emerging, similar to fingernails upon a chalkboard reaching, probing, then shattering the illusion of emptiness surrounding them. A last gift from Loki the trickster, after all he was never want to make things easy for any whom walked near mortal planes.

The utmost pinnacle of sound breaking, the glare dimming then striding forwards a man, tall, strong, his honour surrounding him like a cloak, eyes of gold fleckewd with emerald staring forwards from the regal mein of this man, Clothing of form fitting black, much as his master had chosen for attire, hair to the middle of his back, bound in a plait, of purest white, a closely trimmed beard highlighting the definition of his jaw, slender yet giving the impression of bulk, the dragon essence never hidden away and immensity swelled around him, even though to the naked eye, he was only a man.

In the shattering of the illusion, the lands emptiness vanished and before them rising up a low plateaux revealing a stately manor house, stone walls gleaming in newness, a large central villa surrounded by smaller buildings. Fruit trees and gardens all standing to await its guests. From deep within his chest, the stirring of air as across his lips a grin appeared, even though within his heart smiling was the last thing he felt like. Stirring echoes carrying on his voice as if he spoke in multitudes, yet he was alone... his voice softly spoken would carry to the ears of any in subtle power "It seems the gods have tricked us, for shelter stands before us with food awaiting. I doubt greatly there is any chance of servants, but find that concept appealing in itself. Llewellynn... methinks we should explore yonder Manor..." his eyes clouding for on the horizon storm clouds of dark sheen seemed to be gathering and heading in their direction.

"If that storm should gather we will have need of the shelter offered." His voice directing to all "Forgive me my earlier, intransience, there were distractions which must at some point be explored, but for now, I think we have other worries." A hand gesturing to the deep dark clouds. A he turned to move over to where Llewellyn stood, an echo, a memory shared with his closest bond tickled his senses and a face which his master held dear appeared before his eyes. She had vanished, but it seemed the gods had recognised her spirit and brought her here...

Closing his eyes, mind reaching out, knowing that she had it within her blood to sense his seeming. "I know you... you bear the untainted blood, you carry yourself in the manner my 'king' shared memory of. Come, there is shelter and food and methinks the storm coming be not natural and shelter will be required. Come and be welcome, for you carry the blood of ancient nobility milady and none shall do you harm nor make you feel unwelcome as your own blood has done before." With that he opened his eyes, allowing that Ariana had her own mind which was perhaps why those of weakened will found issue in dealing with her. Stepping to where the others had gathered, he pointed towards the manor again and took the first steps towards the buildings.

Llewel looked to Rashia and nodded slightly with respect. "Welcome, Knight. I am sure we will have need of your codes and your steel in time. For now, we do need to seek shelter and food. My stomach tells me more time has passed then first guessed."

Suddenly the very foundation of the reality they were in rattled with thunder and a burst of light came from just over the dune.

In reflex, she grabbed the mens' arms and threw them to the ground, turning to shield their bodies with her own back. The rumble and light making her growl and reach for Fali'Sara.

As the light dissipated and she stood, her sword drawn without realizing it, she faced someone who gave the feel of Drak to her mind and heart, but not the look she found common in her memories. Speaking of the shelter, she glanced to where he pointed behind her and the men. Nodding she answered as demurely. "I think you are right. Whatever hovers there has not ill intent, but..." She shook her head as if clearing a thought. There was something about the storm coming that was unnatural. Controlled yet not...

She watched Drak close his eyes and knew he spoke to another. But who his words went to or what was said, was not her knowledge to have. As she resheathed her sword, she nodded to Drak once more. Then she turned in silence and lead the way over the next dune towards the appeared oasis of shelter and the hope of sustanence.

Her mind reeled. There was a hunter come to execute her, suddenly sworn to protect her and defying his own oaths. There was a Knight, strong in the code, and full of more desire to see honor conquer all then any other person she had known in a very long time.

And then there was Drak. She felt his pain as keenly as her own, bottled as deeply as her own, and ignored... just as she ignored her own. They would have to find time alone to discuss this. She needed to explain without the ears of strangers around. They knew too much already.

She was unaware that approaching from behind where Drak had been there was another. A woman of noble birth... a woman from her past who soon would also face her and perhaps judge her. Had she known, she may have run. Sometimes ignorance has a purpose.

She continued to stride up the path towards the house, entering the courtyard and seeing servants scurrying around like so many worker ants. They carried trays, water, cloths of finest wools, softest silks, and the smell of fruit trees in the electricity of the coming storm and the odor of incense somewhere close, yet faraway, assaulted her all at once.

She paused just inside the double gates and stared wondering if she shouldn't just ask for a place in the stables.

[align=justify:89c7ab203d]Ariana’s eyes rolled, a kind of bored expression fermented with tedium, kind words were no use to those of her caliber for most never spoke them with the purest of hearts and souls, she wouldn’t be fooled with kindness, even if the beholder of that voice proved to be one of kindness. Was she going mad? Insanity didn’t have a place amongst the Unseelie Court for they were forged with both instances of darkness and light, more of the chaotic prospects of nature, for she was the very essence of nature in all its cruel and beautiful glories. A pathway shown, a friendly hand extended to direct her towards they congregated, the scent of her lineage coursing strong throughout the forest and had Ariana not known better perhaps she would have seen it as another place of beauty was tainted by a less honorable name, perhaps upon meeting them Ariana wouldn’t be so judgmental. It was not her place to condemn them for the sins of others; it was hardly a prize worthy to claim with the means to shock with the rolling of heads to the very feet of the worthless, fallen monarch of Camelot.

Following the masculine voice, weaving in and out of the trees as each foot came to motion over sodden foliage and moss covered rocks, agility and catlike grace giving the stability to course her way through the woodlands with no fear or dread in her conviction, Ariana knew nothing of fear and certainly never showed otherwise. It was here that Ariana spoke, the wind whispering through the canopy, scattering leaves across the forest floor as if paving her the way in an array of vermilions, gold’s and red’s. ”All Pendragon blood is tainted and you would be foolish to think otherwise, we carry all the sins and crimes of those whom came before us for they paved our way to the Underworld just as elaborately had Cailech lit the way for us with her torches… I am not afraid of some storm for I have seen many unlike that of which you have ever seen. But, perhaps the Slaugh wish to reclaim the world for their darkness or the maws of the Great Horned One wish to pierce the Mother once more. You sound like you fear something without understanding it first…but I will not begrudge myself the amicable gesture of shelter and food, that’s if of course you don’t mind sharing with one who isn’t shadowed with masks and false faces?”

It was doubtful any of them would know what Ariana spoke of, though in due time they all would surely find out.[/align:89c7ab203d]

Looking to the storm Rashia smiled.He had seen his share of storms and the rain always made him feel at peace leaving him with a feeling of the hundreds of years of blood was washed away from him. M'Lady the way you refer to the Code like it holds no meaning to you at all.My i ask why? Seeing the light from the dune Rashia drawing his sword before being pulled to the ground. Slowly coming to his feet Rashia could see he was not the only one how had drawn a sword. A foolish feeling came over him as he realized he was no longer in his armor. Smiling to himself as he wached A man walk over the dunes where Draken had been. Looking to the house Rashia smiled at the thought of something to eat and a place to rest.

It had been indeed long since Noire had returned home. There never had been any cause for her to call out to the blood of Pendragon and mend old torn threads. Still she pondered, where had they all gone? She no longer felt the life essence of her parents or other relations, and she no longer felt the strength of Camelot pulsing through her veins. Had the dreaded Atra'Lamia of Darkbane killed the last remnants of her family through the death of its king? All these questions and more ran wild through the mind of the sidhe. As much as she loathed the name Darkbane, she also had a deep respect for the true Queen of it, Atra'Lamia. Noire had heard of others claiming the glory of its name, even she knew they were frauds and liars, because none ever pronounced it to their only, sworn enemies, Pendragon. As far as Pendragon was concerned the name of Darkbane died when its Goddess and Queen left it. The rest were nothing but scum.

A funny notion crossed Noire's mind. If Darkbane and Pendragon were dead, what was left? The throne was Janel's by heritage, being the daughter of Myst and Vladamere. However Noire knew Janel wanted nothing to do with it, so the family would remain without a true figure of leadership. Maybe they were better of without the falseness of claims and thrones. It made more sense that any with the name Pendragon would become free-spirits, just as how it was intended with the Lady of the Lake, pagan's were simple folk with simple appeals, they did not need riches and glories beyond that of the Goddess and Lord. Life was all the richness they truly craved other than to be one with nature. It was more of a dream that even the sidhe and fey wish existed in these dark times. Would this change bring about a new evolution for the name of Pendragon?

Only time would tell.

Janel had been left to her own devices, being taken in by Atra'Lamia herself and the other female she had come to know as Mariska. Janel hadn't expected to have being able to leave with her life, interest lost in the name of Pendragon. It was understandable, being the daughter of Vladamere Pendragon and Pendragon's Myst did have its perils. They were two of the most hated people amongst the darker ranks of clans and hordes, not even the Elves held much trust for them and Janel held no exceptions. When her father and brother vanished, Myst held no grief instead whored around with the help and wayward knights who wandered into Camelot. She may have been only a child then, but she was no fool. The throne of Pendragon belonged to her, Kaly had passed down the rights to the Pendragon throne long before he met his peace in the afterworld.

Now Janel was nothing but a drifter cloaked in heavy garb and cloak, to shield herself from this new world where she had awoken. Not knowing a soul or spirit within this place. Not even the fog held friendly appeal and she couldn't help but wonder was the Lady of the Lake here, or any other kindred spirit? Was she all alone, yet again? Crossing the damp, sodden earth with delicate bare feet, hand held outfront of her with palm outstretched producing a small globe of greenish light. It only offered slight illumination while crossing the moors and swamps, she even struggled to see but didn't want to use her powers to flaunt her power just incase these surroundings were anything but friendly and more hostile than welcomming. It wasn't until she left the gaseous swmaps that she saw a figure outlined by the fog. Janel easily detected this was someone who held the sidhe mana of Alsarrynn Pendragon, one who once protected the castle walls. Instantly she recognized her "Noire??

Did she hear her name being spoken out through the fog? Could another soul spirit been brought here at the same time as she? So many questions raced through her mind that she barely could even keep up with the momentum of thought. Even at this point she felt giddy from all the possibilities of why she had been brought here from positive to that of negativity. Noire had enough of negativity at the hands of Pendragon to last her a lifetime, from the outcast of her mother to the savage plague that had taken the life of her blood sister. It had all been too much for the tender heart of a sidhe who until then really didn't know the meaning of betrayal and treachery. It sickened her to the essence of her being.

She spun quickly upon her heels. Hands rising up to her eyes to allow clearer view into the fog in attempt to see who called her name more clearly. At first Noire couldn't make much out of the slender shape melting through the fog like a Goddess. Was it the Lady of Greenwood herself come to take her child to the hall of the Lord? Noire could only hope. All she wanted was peace, or to know what peace was because for many years all she had seen was bitter rivalry between brother and sister, King and Queen. Even the dragons returned saddly to their havens of earth, ice, forest and fire, no longer did she hear their wise words giving her council. The dragons had turned their backs, and all seemed lost until now.

In the excitement, she could help but respond to the call "Hello, hello. Who goes there where the barriers cross and the fey weep?" Noire waited with great anticipation for the reply to solve what in her heart she already knew. The princess had returned.

Janel couldn't believe her eyes as she got closer to the figure before her. It was Noire, her long lost friend had finally been returned to her, after all these long, painful years of wandering the lands by herself. She couldn't stop her feet from running, muddly splashes soiling the length of green velvet dress, making it wet and almost heavy to burden with. Arms outstrecthed in waiting to greet her, hoping with all her heart and might that it wasn't some evil sprite playing tricks on her. "Noire! Noire! It is you, IT IS YOU!!!" laughing followed the joyful cries. It was like they had been dragged back into the past, to their childhood years when things were simple and none of the doom and gloom had entered into their lives. Where they could play with childrens hair, knotting their long pontails and tying their shoeslaces so they would trip over. This was a happy, joyous day to be remembered.

Finally leaping over the last murky pool, wrapping slending arms around the neckof Noire as tears of joy flowed from her eyes and sniffles emerged through the fits of laughter. "Wh-when did you get here? How long have you been trapped her? Wh-ere are we?" Words just seemed to jump out of her mouth, Janel had so many questions for her friend and didn't know where to start. Where they in danger here? Was it by some frightful spell that they had been ripped here, thrown to the wolves of the fog? It was then that fear finally struck its talons deep into her heart, the fright of not knowing and no one being around to console her in this time of dread. All Janel had now was Noire and if she had to fight whatever lurked here, then at least she wouldn't have to fight alone.

[align=justify:1d3fcc8167]Arms encompassed her. Finally she felt a sense of warmth that she had not for such a long time. Joy overwhelmed her, it had been long since she had felt a unity, the merging of spirt to bring back the essence of heart. For so long Noire had been like stone. But now another pressing matter caused her concern. Where were they going to find shelter when they did not even know where they were? "Where in the Goddesses name have you been, Janel?" Voice quickening to the fear that maybe Janel had been injured or hurt in some way. Briskly Noire circled aorund her, checking her for any sign of injury, relived there had been none visible.

"Where did you vanish to, I looked everywhere. Not even the Draconian or Unseelie Court knew of your whereabouts. Where did you go that you could vanish like that?" Noire started to sound something like a mother. Grabbing Janel's hand and walking swiftly from the marsh and its mysterious fogs, it gave her an uneasy feeling. This entire place gave her an uneasy feeling but for now she had to find them shelter, the questions could come later.[/align:1d3fcc8167]

[align=justify:62e242c8c0]"I went looking for my father and brother. I couldn't tolerate the way my mother was running Camelot. Polluting it with her wanton, foul ways. If no man bowed to her tantrums she would have him off'd by some murderous thug. No doubt another of her perverse affection. Kaly, gave me a token. But. I know he is dead. I know the one named Atra'Lamia killed him." Janel took a deep breath before continuing. " I do not know where I ended up. All I know is that somehow I ended up in the arms of Beloved Mariska and Atra'Lamia. In some funny way, they actually looked after me. If that makes sense to you."

It made no sense to Janel why they both would have done that when both were meant to be serpents. It was an act of kindness or a mastery of manipulation that not even Janel could figure out and she had lived amongst the best of the devil's temptresses to last lifetimes. Then again, the Pendragon women were not known for their brains. Tea parties and whoredom, not all, but certainly most. Jumping from bed to bed like children playing a game of magical chairs. Magical chairs. Now that had been a game Janel enjoyed playing as a child. However she liked making the children disappear and never return. Humans were so flimsy, here one moment gone for good the next.

Having her hand grabbed didn't alert Janel, in fact she expected it. Noire had always played the mother. It was a good thing since Janel's mother. Pendragons Myst was not all that good a mother in the first place. She had loved Noire, had much respect for Noire and would take her guidance as she would a grain of salt. "Where are we going?" Did Noire have somewhere in mind?[/align:62e242c8c0]

[align=justify:155a2e2441]"We are going to try and find some shelter. We know not of this area and can hardly be caught out in the dark, not until we know where we are and who brought us here" Noire didn't like the information Janel had just told her, about spending time in the claws of that witch Atra'Lamia. Noire frowned, the fact of displeasure not hiding from Janel even if by rank she was more superior. "You were in the hands of that black sorceress? Oh Janel, you are such a vague creature." She did not care if she spoke out of order but if Janel thought any act of kindess shown from Atra'Lamia was actually that she was greatly mistaken.

"You should be more careful when approaching her Janel. No good could come of it." Eyes looking around through the forest while moving quickly. Hand holding Janel's tightly, leading her from and around the swamp. She knew of the foul things that lurked in the swamps, things that could drag you under before you knew it. Noire felt lost in this place, she hated not knowing where she was going or where they could find a haven and that too showed on her face. "We need to find shelter before it gets dark. Out here, we are alone. We have to try to survive." Taking a deep breath and looking out over the murky waters. "Dear Lady, please show us our way."[/align:155a2e2441]
