Ryack smiles then left to tell shoren.He then headed home.He was ready to find the peace he needed and say goodbye to his family. He knew that it would hurt to return home but he needed to get this done. He was tired of his dreams. He looks to the sky as he heads out onto the path to his old homeland.He smiles some as he looks ahead"Crystaline lagoon..here I come"



(Crystaline Lagoon )  

[Muted_Nightingale]

Valexy had lost sight of Echo just as soon as she had spotted her. But now another familiar face came into view, and she watched as Empris ran to Star. She joined them in a hurry, and listened to Empris. So the wolves had a kitten. She knew they had to inform Tassa, but looking at her Valexy saw how excited she was for Star's return... I don't like ruining the Queen's happy moments, but we need to do something. She knew not to ignore Empris' visions, they had all been true for as long as she had known her.  

[Touya-Ten Night]

"Valexy!"
Though Empris was worried, a small smile turned the corners of her lips up. She hadn't realized how much she had missed her pride sisters and was happy to see them once more. Tassa's good mood shouldn't be bothered when there were plent in the pride who could handle this. Trying to remember who was what rank... wasn't working. She hadn't cared when she left.
"Who's the general now? Could we not go to him, or her, and ask for a small detail to go after the kitten? I would go to show where I saw her at."  

[Muted_Nightingale]

Valexi was glad Empris had remembered her, but couldn't help giggling when she noticed she hadn't changed. She was still bad at remembering others' ranks. Our General is Keroberos, though I'm afraid I haven't seen him in quite some time. As she said so she turned her head in all directions, hoping to spot him in the crowd somewhere, but she could not see him.  

[PrincessTigressMoon]

Star heard Empris's report about a kitten in wolven territory and as Valexi informed them about their current general Keroberos. It was unfortunate they didn't know his where abouts currently so they can make a quick decision about what to do. She was Tassa's advisor and thought quickly stepping in front of Empris and Valexi.

"Well, first things first ladies. We must find Keroberos. I can't believe that handsome lion's still around. He was always the bookworm of a warrior. I am not surprised he has become Tassa's general." she commented. "Anyways, back to what I was saying. Ummm, once we find Keroberos. We must go to Tassa and ask for permission before stepping into wolf territory. It wouldn't be wise to lead ourselves into wolf territory in our cat forms in search of the kitten either. So, we must go in our other form. Our cat forms will only pose as a threat." she explained.  

[Touya-Ten Night]

"Right... Keroberos... What does he look like?"
Empris felt a little behind not knowing who the general was as she looked around them listening to Star. She nodded in agreement. It would be bad if they walked in as cats. Looking back at Star and Valexy confused about Keroberos she pouted.
"I guess I should have paid more attention before I left. He's a lion though?"
She looked back at the people and glared at a few who were staring at her. Empris hated being stared at and it happened all the time.  

[Keroberos Guardian Beast]

Kero been at the palace after a long morning of patroling. He decided to go swimming in their pool to cool off due to it being a warm summer afternoon. Kero had asked one of the servants to bring forth a pina colada for him to drink and something to eat as well. He walked into the cool pool and closed his eyes at the enjoyment of the whole moment. Although, he was curious as to why everyone wasn't around.

A servant came over to him in quick pace telling him Star was looking for him. "Star? Are you playing a joke?" he asked the servants in confusion. "Has she returned?" he asked. "Great, thank you ladies. You begin to relax and than somebody needs you." he grumbles beginning to dry off as before heading off in search for Star.  

[Muted_Nightingale]

Valexy was still looking around everywhere, in her human form now so she could look above the heads in the crowd. She soon saw him, it wasn't hard to miss him. She started jumping u and down, waving her hand and calling him over. Kero! Were here, over here! She was excited, she hadn't been over on the wolf territory in so long, and to be going there not to fight but to possibly negotiate, she was excited.  

[Touya-Ten Night]

First hearing Valexy then seeing her jump up and down Empris looked to where she was waving and could see someone approaching. Tired of being stared at by passerby's, she also changed back into a woman pulling her hood low over her face to keep it in shadow. Standing up straight she could see Keroberos now clearly. He looked vaguely familiar in the distance. Not planning on staying for long unless summoned to she didn't bother committing him to long term memory.  

[Keroberos Guardian Beast]

Once Kero grumbled disturbed wishing to have had the chance to relax after a long morning of patrol. Once he dried himself off on the grass and went toward the direction in which the servant told him. It wasn't before long when he spotted Valexy, Star, and an unfamilar female he didn't reconize.

"Hello, everyone. Welcome back Star. Valexy. And your?" looking to Empris with a genuine smile. "So, a servant said you needed my assistance. What's going on? By the look of Valexy's face it looks important." he sat curiously.

Keroberos was a handsome golden lion without much of a grand mane like that of an ordinary lion. His unique features made up for his mane.  

[Touya-Ten Night]

Bowing her head once to Kero, Empris made sure to keep her hood low so the shadows obscured his view of her face. She was tired of being stared at for one day and didn't need anymore gossip to fly than there already was. When she spoke her voice was void of any emotion.
"I'm Empris, seer and old friend of the pride. A small kitten has been the focus of many visions as of late. Poachers have taken her across the border to wolven lands. While she seems to be safe for now, I do not know how much longer that will be."
Empris watched as Kero took in this information. She hesitated a moment before going on, a sad tone entering her voice.
"This kitten is the last of her pride. There is no one else for her except in the main pride."  

[PrincessTigressMoon]

Star had followed Empris over to Kero to discuss the matters about visions about poachers taking a kitten upon wolf territory. As Star stood beside Empris and Kero as their conversation went forth. Star knew their best next step was to discuss the matter with their lady. Kero was very wise to lead them into the wolf territory and she was an excellent warrior in case anything took place. She remained quiet waiting for Kero's opinion on the matter. . .

Lief pulled himself into existence from mere wisps dancing in the air. "This should be interesting" he said with a smirk across his face. Normally, knowing the politics in his nation, he would be hated here. Immortal on the highest grounds of an enemy nation. However, he wasn't here to start a war, continue one, cause chaos, or even spy. No, he wanted to see this nation with his eyes, not the eyes of an immortal, not the eyes of a cat, but the eyes of Lief, of himself.
He trended through the grounds, his feet not even making a sound. He made no effort to make himself noticed or unnoticed. "I wonder if there are any good chess players, it's been a while..." he said to himself, taking in the sights of the palace.  

[Muted_Nightingale]

While they were discussing the issue, Valexy suddenly felt something eerie in the area. If she would have been in her snow leopard form, her fur would have risen. Instead, her snow white hair stiffened, and she looked around for the ominous source. It felt oddly familiar, though there was no blood lust in the air, she couldn't help but feel like their city had been infiltrated.  

[MemorysGalleySlave]

As Lief walked through the grounds, he ended up approaching Valexy from behind by chance. He simplied smiled and spoke kindly, "Hello, excuse my interruption, but I was wondering if anyone here knew how to play a good game of chess. Unfortunately, my nation has too many issues to even bother with a simple sit down for a basic game."
He bowed in respect to Valexy. "I must say, your nation has a beautiful environment. Though, hopefully you don't mind my bias, but I tend to find the Fey lands more mystifying than here, but the element of emotion of your people far surpasses that of the Fey lands" he said in recognition.
