She had witnessed the devestation. She was there that night, in the alleyway when her great grandchildren were killed.

Every last one of them. Undead or not, Grandma had to speak with her grand daughter. Dominique. Pestilence. But first she had to find her.

Bale was out. The town devestated. There was nothing left. So the dragoness slid through the streets of the market. Waiting for the cover of darkness.

It was easier to travel with no crowds around.

A cant of her horned head as she eyed a manhole cover. While she would not fit down it, her voice would easily and echo along the corridors beneath.

Dom...Catching herself. She hated the name Pestilence, but she would use it, if only to find her grand baby. they needed to talk, before any more of their kin died painful deaths.

Pestilence!!!

She was greeted with the sound of...silence. No talons scraping along. No heavy breathing. nothing.

It seemed, she was in the wrong area. But if she were in the wrong area...which was the right"

She had to continue. And continue she did, up and down each alley and through the streets.

Nothing. not a trace.

Where hadn't she looked" She remembered Brian's, no...Raven 's words. Something about an abbey.

But where...Taking to the air, she would wing her way North.

Not a scrape"

Not a sound"

Feh..

It seems, that Grand-Mother did not wait, long enough. Or perhaps, her grand-daughter that once was, decided to take her sweet time, indeed.

Then again, it could have been a number of things, you know...

Maybe she did not want to see her grand-mother right now, hmm' Maybe she was actually mourning for those lost dragonlings, as her grand- mother did. Or maybe, it was she who was hunting her elder, hmm?

Now that would be rather interesting, you know...A hunter being hunted.

So as Icer lifted to the sky, did Pestilence her once grand-daughter—formerly known as Dominique, literally peel herself from the shadows of a collapsed building.

Lifting to the sky, she cried out with such intent.

"Icer!!"

"Icer!". It was hard not to hear her name, and wheeling around, ice blue eyes fell upon her grand child. Well what remained of her.

I have been looking for you, yes. The was no malice in her tone. Just the steady sound of her wings beating as she hovered in place.

I have been wanting to speak with you, yes, but you have nae been easy to find. And I want to say I am sorry.

Do you really believe that I left you? Hovering in place, facing her grand daughter.

I did not hurt them you know. or do you? I did not touch a single one of them. Your children.

I tried to get their attention. I called to them, yes, and it seemed they were listening. It was them you know.

It was sister. Renna. I was there. I could nae get to them in time. But do nae believe for once that I left you.

If I had...would I have sought you out' Would I have followed your trail all the way to Bale?

"Sorry!?"

"So you are sorry are you, 'grand-mother' is that it!?"

"No...You are not sorry...None of you ever were sorry, when I was forotten, were you? When no one came to even check on me, when father left' When everyone else was looked after, and I was just an after thought?"

Hovering where she was, as eyes of pure anger took in the form of Icer, before here.

"And NOW you come for me!" After this— change in me" Hmm' After my rebirth, hmm' After I was saved!?"

"NO grand-mother! Icer! You do NOT get to come for me! You do NOT get to do a damned thing, because you were NEVER there for me! You left me alone, you ALL left me alone and my father— my TRUE father, saved me."

"Raven, saved me."

A sneer began to take form, as Pestilence continued.

"And as to what you refer to, as my children—- I call them what they really are..."

"FODDER!"

"So you followed me to Bale, so what! And that is supposed to make things better!?"

"No....You do not get to make ANYTHING better, ICER! None of you can, and none of you will!"

That said, Pestilence took flight once more to the south.

"Forget you saw me, Icer! Or more will die!"

Most would have turned away, cried or more so, but Grandma...She followed.

Did I now! He is nae your father. you want the truth! I too was used. I did nae come for you, because I couldn't. Because I was trapped. The same as you. He is using you and you know it.

I do nae know where your father disappeared to. I am sorry for that. And I am sorry that I was unable to protect you.

It should have been me you know. Instead of you.

"You were trapped because your weak! I was weak too, and now I am better! He made me better, and we will punish everyone who ever hurt us, and that includes you, Jenai and anyone else!"

Pestilence gained a burst of speed, as she raced south outside the city proper...There was no looking back, as she growled rather intently.

"You will see very soon grand-mother! First Jenai, and her people will fall! Then the ones in the city, and if you get in our way, so will you!"

Faster, and faster Pestilence moved...It was almost as if she were being tugged...Pressed, or pushed...Whatever the case, something held her, and it was forcing her, somewhere.

And she did not seem to mind one damned, bit.

She would follow, picking up speed to keep up. though lagging just a little behind her grand child. She needed not to lose sight of her again.

You may think I am weak, Dominique. But I am stronger then you know. As for you being better...Pulling up a bit closer. as close as she dared. Do you really think that"

He did not make you better. Have you seen yourself" Have you seen what he has done to you?

Pestilence, said nothing else...She had no need to, as they were close...The sun crept over the land, slowly giving light to the darkness, and with that help, Pestilence smiled at the very sight of what she saw...

Unadulteratred chaos..

"Behold Grand-Mother! The beginning of the end, for each and every one of you! And it starts HERE!"

Wings folded to her form, as Pestilence went into a dive. Eyes narrowed, as a growl emitted from the dragon, causing others to look to the sky in utter dismay.

"I am your end fools! Father calls to me, and I will not fail!"
