for all things Shea,Victor,Aiden and Mila: as wella s those others from Nosgoth.Night or day where ever the two shall meet outside of Rhydins cold streets.

::Aiden smiled staring off a bite of food, and chewed and shallowed:: its very good, Our day was rather good, enjoyed looking around. Your friend Darkmere ,is very humble.

::Mila smiled:: Oh Shea, you should meet his lady firend, she was very nice,I think well,I'll let you sense it out when you meet her, but they make a cute couple.

::Shea giggled mid chew, as she lsitended to her son and Mila talk of their day,and enjoyed that food:; its a perfect meal my love ::she whispered to Victor after she took a sip of that apple cider,it was sweet and it wouldnt harm the baby...::

::Mila smiled:: we had a picnic in th woods, its lovely here...I love it...

::Aiden chewed with a wide grin::

::Shea eyed her sons wide grin,she knew that look yet she wouldnt say anything she just ate:: Darmere is a fine man, and I think hes rtaher humble, though I dont ever wish to have to fight him, or Ghallon training or not for a while.

::Mila giggled at that softly as she ate:: did ye two enjoy your day in Rhydin? I do hope all is well in the cold city

::Shea smirked to him:: reckless me? ::hands to her chest faining shock::

::Aiden nodded:; he's right your reckless Atara, remember at Golden Vine when you went all ::he made a face at her:: then decied to cimb up the walla nd shoot down at the wild elves?

::Shea chuckled:: it was a good tactic

::Aiden nodded:; aye good yes, but reckless right in the line of fire, good thing Atar is looking after you now, Rhydin is not safe,never has been never will be.

::Shea nodded:; no Rhydin isnt safe, I know this but you both know I will not abadon my duty to my friends and allies even when I am going to bare a child as long as I can move I will remain in Rhydin then once I can not you may lock me up in this house Victor if you wish, and I will stay till the baby is born and afterw ards,but I am a knight, and Rhydin needs my help. I know ye dislike it Aiden,but you know that I am not about to become someone that turns my back on people who need my help...

::Aiden nodded:: I know Atara,I am just glad your doing all this with Victor and not alone.... dont want that little bro or sis of mine to get hurt or you..to

::Shea smiled, touched by her sons concern::I give you my word..utinu..

::Shea looked to Victor and stuck out her tongue::

I think Shea is noble, wnating to keep up her work and have the baby grow.. with in her while she does, keeps her healthly :;a smile::

::Shea smiled to Mila::thank you my dear,see she understands :: crossing her arms now, smirking to Victor::safe places.... in Rhydin like where the glen? Ohh I know... no where

::Aiden nodded:: hes got apoint Atara... :;not offended he knew Victor didnt mean him or Mila, any way they were safe in Nosgoth right?::

:;Shea nodded::I wont I promise all right, I'll patrol with you and wont run after anyone, or go jumping roof top to roof top in the cold of rhydin,all right...I promise

::Shea smiled to Victor softly and kissed him a bit more deeply than he might have through she would with Aiden and Mila present. Aiden smirked softly watching this pulling Mila up and taking their dishes away with them.::

::Shea withdrew and smiled to him::I would not dare risk this child... ::she ran her hands ove r her stomach:;not for anything in this world... ::bright jade hues looked to him::I will take it easy .

::Shea smiled to him, resting her hand on top of his.She could feel the pulse of power from that growing baby. She laid her head upon his shoulder closing her eyes,shea had forgotten how much it had taken out of ehr when she was first carrring Aiden, and the months after as she got rounder. Shea knew that she wouldnt start showing for at least another month.But she could feel the baby.:: I might take you up on staying here for a few days.To rest up for what ever is coming.

::Shea wouldnt tell him of what was spoken at the meeting,but some of it worried her yes, but it was needed, and actions had to be taken. But for myabe tewo days she justw anted to stay in Nosgoth with Victor, Aiden and Mila, and have a fmaily time around.Meet this woman she'd heard about and enjoy the time near the castle that Darkmere called home, and await news from Salice.::

::Shea relaxed there,the day of freedom would go by all too quickly the next day the winds would tell ehr that ehr student was awaiting her. She'd be away, and was ratehr realxed now, she knew Assadar would geta kick out of this relaxed Shea.But she also knew as any elemental would that he had been training she could sense it,no matter how calm or relaxed Shea was she was still Shea wise and knowing of all too much::

::that she would the best job she could do at doing just that, though as many knew by now trouble was her middle name::

::Shea came back in to Nosgoth,and cast her jade hues over the lands.Then she just sat in the field. Eyes closed gaining resolve from her self from her emotions. She knew she'd have to say something to some one. Aiden and Victor were off doing thier father son thing so now Shea would riose and go to seek out Mila...::

::Aiden was looking about the surround as they walked,getting to know this new place,he all ready felt connected to it, he glanced to Victor. He was glad to be spending this time with him, a bit of bonding time:: Victor.. ::dark blue hues gazed to him, Aiden had met Jade and Darkmere and now knew thanks to what his mother told him that they were going to be allies in the sense of the kingdoms,now it was a three way allaince the elven lands,Crendia and Nosgoth.. He was used to allies, and he trusted Salices and the rulers to be able to be allies. But he wasnt worried about home or war not here nor any where, he was worried about Rhydin and what lie there, that worry played easily in his eyes now.::

::Aiden nodded:: Atara is loyal to them, she vowed to them to help, and she would risk her life,she nearly did, but she ::he looked out to the lands:; I felt it there when we were there long ago, when we went to stop Blahl from killing her, when we did all we could.... a darkness I have never felt,even in the days in GreenStone against Jin and Alaric I never felt such deep darkness, and now shes with child and ::he shook his head:: Shes there for more than jusy honor or loyality...

::Aiden nodded to that::yes I agree.. ::dark blue hues looked to him them something was eatting at Victor Aiden could tell:: Atar.. what is troublig you ? ::it was more than just the fact that his mother had her own ways of fighting and knowing that she would not slow down until she had too it was somehting else::

aye she did...:: thse dark blue hues did seem to read him right: something is bothering her and it bothers you but in a different way.. ::a nod tot hat his eyes cast over the land as he felt the wind pick up she was back, he knew that much he felt it too something troubled her::

::Aidens brows perked and he walked after him and palced his hand on his shoulder:: I know... ::Aiden knew,he knew all too much more than he wanted to.He felt the wind and sighed:: she loves you.. ::a reassuring nod:: shes had a rather hard time,letting it go... ::Aiden wouldnt say what but he knew Victor knew:: one way or another she will let it pass... shes with you Victor... and she loves you.. :: he smiled just a tad, he knew his mother was seeking out some one to talk to:: shes seeking out Mila... someone to talk to... you should go and talk to her...

::Aiden nodded, he understood that Victor might feel lost and that he was scared to hell of losing Shea....:: I'll go steal Mila away before Atara finds her, things will be all right you will see Atar...:;gone witha flicker of druid magic differnt from the elemental magiccs the others used more bound to the earth he would have to hurry to get to Mila before his mother did::

:;Mila was walking in the field and there was Shea not two feet from ehr when Aiden appeared and took Mila by the hand, he gave his mother one of those all knowing looks before he whisked Mila away.::

::Shea slwoly sat in to the grass, she tooka deep breath and ran her fingers over her stomach... this wasnt going to be easy was it::

::her jade hues opened and lifed to him, no one likes to ehar those words,' we need to talk' meant bad things usualy, but she knew they needed to talk, things needed to be said,and she had to come clean. she knew he could feel her,as she could feel him thats why she was back here again,her hands rested over her stomach..and she nodded:; yes..we do..

::She gazed to him, then down. She knew he knew, they were connected deeply to one another.::I know... Victor.. :she gazed up tears she held back in her eyes:: I know you might think me mad for wanting to help Rhydin risking my life, but you must know why I do it, and that I will not risk... my self or this child or us... ::jade hues stayed on him now:: I dont want to...lose ::she pressed her fingers to her stomach and looked to him::

::she gazed to him and leaned in to that touch, he was not losing her,not now not ever,it would chush her as well:: I have given you my word that I will be carefull,they may not even need my help.. for all I know.. the meeting was very... long and much happened,the west end is going to be taken back,one way or another,but you will not lose me Victor not to this not to anything

::Could she tell him what she knew, would be be too hard for him to hear that she knew with out question that Connar was not dead...how did she know she just knew many things she knew,too many. Perhpas that was why it haunted her so... even still after all this time.::

::she was shifted in to his lap and rested against him:: Victor... ::her fingers slid over his hands and she wrapped her fingers with his:: Your going to think im crazy, but... hes not dead..Victor dont ask me how I know or what I saw I just know...::she sighed softly:: I want you to be at my side Victor,through everything

::she smiled softly to him and closed her eyes:: Falling head over heels in love with ye is the best thing ive ever done.. ::she squeezed his hands back:: I wish to be with you always Victor,I need your help... with this.... ive been putting it off far too long...

::she settled back in to his arms and wings. There was no way to forget her memories,but she knew the day might come that she might see him not justa ghost but the real flesh and blood deal and that scared her:: I want to Help Rhydin but I dont... its so very odd to me to know that ...hes alive and that any day I could walk in tot he inn and see him,I do not know what...to do.... i cant forget what was,and I do not regret what is.... what am I to do?

::She nodded to that, she was happy now and did not regret anything.She closed her eyes, and relaxed there against him:: Victor,I am not sure if I can be much help to Rhydin,at least as much as I want. The meeting was ::she breathed, yes she had sworn not to speak of it to anyone, but Victor wasnt just anyone:: it was chaos... I want to help as much as I can,but no one knows at least no one knew about... ::her fingers slid over her stomach she felt that pulse of power from with in her.::

::she relaxed agaisnt him,and reclosed her eyes.She nuzzled her head against his shoulder her free hand graced those wings he had wrapped about her,she could hide forever in those wings and never wish to be any where else:: Amin mela lle,Mela en' coiamin

::Shea smiled to that and kissed his cheek softly her fingers still gracing his wings:: do you think we could stay away from Rhydin for a day or so again? ::she needed it,she wanted it,to just stay there with him until the sun was gone,and beyond in to the night::

::Shea smiled and closed her eyes,resting now. She didnt want to go back to Rhydin,not today at least. That would make everyone happy.::

::After having that heart to herat tlak with Connar Aiden felt better, he walked with Mila through Rhydin back through the portal to Nosgoth. They had a dance to get ready for didnt they. They raced for the manor, Victor nor Shea in sight. He kissed Milas nose before she went off to get ready ::

:: he did the same::

Atara.. :: he raked his fingers through his dark blue hair,and went to pull out some of the things hed brought with him, thank god dark was always inn in Nosgoth::

::Shea smiled to him::hmm I don't know... maybe there off,doing something.. :: she was feeling better now after that talk with those of the oracle:: should we go look for them? ::Shea noted two things were off in the house,one,that room that Aiden and Mila shared looked like a very busy two teens had been in it,clothes here and there:: where ever they are I do hope they are dressed :;a chant of her head to the open doorway::

::Shea snickered and she walked with him towards that open bedroom door way. She giggled,she didnt want tos ee this,she let those winds touch the door and open it a bit more, the room was empty save for thsoe clothes from the day, a nice box of mithal lay upon the bed lined with soft fur and empty:: aww :: she walked tot he box:: Our son bought his ladya gift ::she held up the box..::

A note? ::Jade hues spied something::ohh here look:; she picked up a piece paper:: it says, get dressed up and we will see you soon? :: the note was in elvish:; what in blazes does that mean?

::she nodded:; aye, we should I suppose... dressed up,I suppose I should pull out a dress then... ::good thing she packed well and could bring anything from home here in a blink of an eye.she leaned back in to him:; think they are trying to get us to go away and are hideing some where?

::A nod to t at:: that sounds nice... :: she kissed him softly:: I'll get ready then :; she gave his reara little smack and sncikered off qucikly on the balls of her feet::

::she snickered to that name as she watched him change jade hues flickered a moment, before she moved to change in tot hat long ivory gown she had worn to their wedding, it still fit,thank the elven gods::

::she smirked to him slipping her hand over his arm.walking beside him no wepaons upon ehr body save for those magics in her blood, relaxed, and looking stunning.::

* continues in Wolves Den:A dance for the Ages

::It was good to be back home,the feeling was very nice. They had the house all t them sleves now.Aiden and Mila ahd gone to Crendia: . Shea smiled and those bright jade hues looked up to him, she spun softly in to the room, her talk with Jade had gone well, she hoped the lupine would be all right,love was very hard sometimes, the ebst thing was to take it slow.:: That was the most fun I've had since the fest in GreenStone

::Shea returned to Nosgoth,late in the evning. The wind over the grass rustled through her hair and back throught hat dark green cloak she had not dawned in some time. She had not been in Rhydin to patrol, and was not there for trouble of any kind,yet now as the wind rose past her she tooka deep inward breath::

- Meanwhile, Victor was back at the house, knowing Shea had headed out, but didn't know where to. He wasn't worried to much, as he was busy fixing a little surprise for his lovely wife. -

:Shea stode on home,silently. Letting the wind carry what ever there was left undone away.Too man thoughts rushed through her mind as she walked to the door of the hosue which she Victor,Aiden and Mila shared there in Nosgoth...she pushed her way in away from the cold of the night:

Enjoy your trip? - Said softly as he slipped out of the kitchen, to take her cloak, after handing her a cup of hot cocoa -

::she took the hot cocoa in hand and nodded to him, as he took her cloak to hang it::aye,Rhydin is much the same tonight :: she sipped that drinka nd realxed even mroe so moving to lay ehr sheathed weapons upon that chair that was there beside her.Belt and all came wth those shetahed swords, off ehr hips to rest there...::

- He nodded to that, before slipping back into the kitchen. - I see.. sorry...I wasn't able to join ye.

:Jade hues gazed to him and she let that cup float tot he table before following behind him to stop him by slipping before him:: Victor...

Hmm? - He looked to her, as she caught him in the middle..of making dinner..a very special one.-

::she leaned up and kissed him,not justa soft hi nice to see you kiss but a deep loving and passioante kiss::

- And he slipped hs arms around her, returnning that deep passionate and loving kiss -

:That kiss lingered for a little bit before she with drew:: I love thee :: jade hues gazed to him:: have I told ye that today?

I love thee. - Whispered after the kiss was done, then smirked. - Nope..

:she smirked looking up to him:: well now I have...and I shalt never forget to say it again... ::she took a breath through her nose:; are ye making dinner?

- He chuckled softly to that, and kissed the tip of her nose - Good..and aye...have a seat..

:;she tooka s eat there at the dinning table calling that hot chocolate as it was known to ehr hand ona breeze of air and she would sit and sip and watch him::

- And she'd note..that he was fixing the same things he did on their first date -

::she smiled as she watched him sipping that hot drink with a smile ,one thing she knew there would not be a time from now on that shed go to Rhydin with out him without someone by her side::

He smiled softly back to her, before setting the table, then walked around it to her side. He then cupped her chin, then leaned down to kiss her softly.- Happy Mother's day..m'love.

:that soft kiss was returned,shed herad of this mothers day ebfore not in greenstone it was something she heard in Rhydin; tell me love what is this mothers day? :: brows perked as she looke ddown to the food, she could eat a horse, not literally of coarse::

- He smiled and sat across from her. - Tis an Earth holiday...when mothers are honored .

Oh.. :;a nod tot hat there was soemthing like that in the elven lands, aday in which those whom were mothers were celenrated, the fact that it was an earth holiday seemed to make Shea twitch, before she picke dup ehr fork:: the food looks wonderful my dear

- He noticed the twitch - But Aiden told me about the one in the elven lands...- A smile to her, as he started to eat..- Thanks.

:a nod tot hat, before she tooka bite of food,glad that Aiden ahd spoken about the one in the elven lands,wondering when thta had happened but no matter ::
- Hey now..he wasn't going to tell her that, as this was supposed to be a surprise. He smiled over to her, every so often as they continued to eat, still having the house to themselves -

::she smiled to him, they did have the huse to themsleves still she liked that,and hoped allw as going well in Crendia. she took botes and savored them::

- He savoered them as well, before getting a spoon full of potatoes, then flickered them at her...just as she looked over to him the next time -
::her mouth hung open as she gazed to him the flung potatoes flew wizzing past her head as she ducked:: Victor.. ::she giggled::

He chuckled andsmiled innocently at her, before going back to eatting-

:: ohh he wasnt getting away witht hat she pulled back her spoon and off went a counter attack of potatoes::

- And he looked up and ...Splat..right on the nose. -

::she giggled:: got you! :; now giggiling more::

- And he fired off a counter attack -

:;splat right on ehr forehead it slid down and ploped to the table and she looked at him::now i'm all messy :;looking at him with a pout::

Got you! - He stuck his tongue out at her, while crossing his eyes. - So?..could be worse...- He grinned -

::she giggled and looked at him, her plate was now empty,nothing to hit him with she wipped off ehr face and rose and made her way over to him and bent down to look in to his eyes and licked his nose:: yummy ::a bright smirk::

- He chuckled to that as he finished his plate, and was about to clean his face, when she licked his nose, before smirking at her. - You are odd..- A sly grin..to using her own phrase against her -

: jade hues widened in to that sad look"" awww :; she turned and went to walk away as if she'd be hurt by what he said::

- And he wipped his face off, before standing up and walking over to her, slipping his arms around her from behind. - Tis true...- Whispered to her. - but it doesn't change the fact that I love thee...

:she smiled looking back to him,turning to gace him placing her hands upon his shoulders:: would it be wrong for me never to wish to go back there again with out ye by my side?

Nay..- He softly shook his head, as he bent down to lift her up in his arms, before resting his cheek to hers. - Why do ye ask?

she rested there againt him held high in his arms:: I saw Connar.. tonight...we spoke and it was...hard and awkard and very difficult

::she leaned softly in to that stroking touch:: at least it was hard for me, he didnt seem bothered, he said it was awkard....

- Another soft nod. - Tis that why ye don't want to go back? - Asked softly -

Its hard,seeing him alone,i didnt think it would be then again I didnt think he'd be there... its not that I wish to avoid him I don't i think he wishes to avoid me,as does everyone I amde a huge mistake,and I know I am to pay for it,Rhydin need my help what help I can give,but I dont wish to go again with out ye by my side

- He nodded softly to that, as he understood in a way. - Then from now on..we will go there together, when ever ye wish it...untill then...we will relax here..and focus on our family.

::a soft nod tot hat his words seemed to relax her and she leane din to him and rested her ehad upon his chest:: tis just what I want to do,relax and focus on us,and our family

- He smiled softly to that. - Good..it will keep you out of trouble for the time being..- Trying to get her to smirk at him. -

- He chuckled softly - Hard to do that...Miss Trouble. - Good thing he had her in his arms..-

He chuckled softly - Hard to do that...Miss Trouble. - Good thing he had her in his arms..-

::she could still poke him, softly at that in the arm:: thats me, and i'm all yours

: Aye..- He smirked to the poke to his arm, and gave her rear a little swat -

::she smirked to him:: we are still all alone ::her fingers ran slowly up the side of his neck sending little pusles of magic in to him::

- He smirked to that - Aye..that we do..- A shiver to that pulse of magic with another smack to her rear -

::a wiggle of her rear then as she drew her fingers back down over his shoulders and kissed him softly:; thank ye for dinner

- He smacked her rear again to that wiggle, before kissing her back softly - Welcome love.


* i'll color this when im less busy

:Shea had come home after going to Rhydin for a few hours,she did nto want to risk going to kick Hinns ass,she knew Willow would handle it.Aiden and Mila were not back yet,Shea sat on the couch legs currled under ehr her hair damp from the long bath she took,in her night wears and that soft green robe from greenstone::
- They were back, but chose to spend some time with Darkmere and Hade for the night, with Victor and Shea, being able to have some time alone, yet as the hour grew later..he still wasn't home..which for him..was odd -
:;Shea looked back tot eh door, she then sensed her son,she tooka breath if he was back so was Mila but where was Victor? Shea rose form the couch and corssed in ehr bare feet towards the front door::
And a gust of wind would nudge the door open, before seeping inside to wrap around her, as inticing her to follow it -

;she hugged that wind close as she stood there in that soft green robe. She moved slowly out the open door in those night wears and robe and bare feet,jade hues peered in to the darkness fo the night as she follwoed the wind it had never led ehr wrong yet::

- And up ahead, oddly was a cloaked figure, to whom the winds were leading her towards, the odd thing was..Victor didn't wear a cloak...but this "person" did -
::Shea stopped seeing thsi cloaked figure Victor didnt wear a cloak,who did,did Darkmere wear one,she couldnt recall, ehre she was un armed save for magic in bare feet and a soft silken robe and under it her nightgown oh yes this was odd. Yet the wind had led ehr here,Jade hues shimemred softly going to a lighter tone fo jade a mix of that silver and her natural tone::

- And slowly a gloved hand came out of the cloak, as if beckoning her towards this cloaked figure, as it seemed this person ment her no harm..and if by chance..she knew her friends here..would come to her aid..as well as she knew how tightly..guarded this relam was. -

::sheas brows perked tot hat gloved hand,Victor didnt wear gloves weither, but this figure seemed to mean her no harm Nosgoth was well proteced well guareded she knew no one could come ehre unless Dsrkmere said they were okay to do so she stepped forward feeling the wet grass under her bare feet::

True...Victor didn't...yet once she was close enough, a gust of wind blew the hood back, reveling her "caller". It was Victor...yet dressed in a more...prince like outfit, before lightly taking her chin with his thumb and index finger, then leaned down..kissing her softly on the lips as he closed his eyes -

::shea tooka breath in as she saw him,she elaned up in to that soft kiss running her fingers up over his shoulders::

- No tears running down her cheeks? Anyways, he continued that soft kiss with her. Seems there was more to the male she was with..than she knew..then again.Victor could of just dressed up like this..to surprise her..as well as take both of their minds off of recent events -

a few tears slid down ehr cheeks and she inched in clsoer to that kiss,she ahd noted how he was dressed, perhaps he was trying to surpise her, but some how he always took her breath a way::

- His hands moved up to cup her cheeks, with his thumbs brushing away her tears every so often, but continued that soft loving kiss with her, not bothering to break it just yet -

::she inched up to ehr toes and breatehd out of ehr nose heavily,everything was all right She had been worried. She inched in to thsoe thoses upn her cheeks::
- He then slowly pulled back from the kiss, but in a way wouldn't be to surprised if she cupped his cheeks quickly to pull him back into it, then again...he wouldn't complain -
:;her fingers ran down his cheek:; I was so worried....:: she kissed his lips softly again::: I didnt know what had happened...i started to think the worst
- He kissed her back softly again. - Tis ok, my love..- Still caressing her cheeks, as he openned his eyes. - I didn't mean to make ye worry...but tis nice to know..you were all worried about little ole me..- Said as he smiled softly at her, teasing her a bit -

::her hands shifted again to rest upon his shoulders:: of coarse I worried about you...::she smiled softly:: and here ye all all dashing, and me in my night clothes...
Isn't that how the dashing prince is supposed to meet the fair princess at night? - A tilt of his head...as he wasn't really calling himself a prince, but was calling her a princess. -
:;she smiled to that:; aye,and ye are my dashing prince...::she leaned up again to ehr toes:: yet ye are supposed to sweet me off my feet


Me?...A prince? Nah...- He shook his head slightly, even though he did look like a prince..as he was dressed like one. He then grinned to the comment about sweeping her off her feet. - True..

::she smiled to him:; aye, you. ::she kissed his cheek softly::dashing,and handsome,ye are my prince...::a soft kiss to his lips::

- And he kissed her back.- Ye are my lovely, and beautiful princess..- Whispered to her before, letting his wings open from underneght the cloak to drap around her, never breaking his gaze from hers -

::she smiled and inched in clsoer in to those wings her fingers moved uder the fabric of the cloak and over his wings at his back,blushing ever so softly::

- He smiled to her blushing, before picking her up at the waist in his arms, not really sweeping her off her feet, but it did get her to be eye level with him. -

:;her bare feet eft the cold cground and she let one of her arms wrap over his shoudlers the other hung loose so that hand could grace over his wing,her heus were still that mix of jade and silver making them lighter in tone::

:shea smiled ,and slid that hand to his shoulder and let it rest there:: this is a nice escape ::she gazed to him,her eyes never shifted away:: This whole mess with Hinn,really drove me to a streesed out point

Aye it is..- He smiled and stole a kiss to her lips, before nodding softly in agreement with her. - I know how ye feel..- He looked away a moment. - He came close to..pushing me over that one edge..I'd rather not cross..

::Shea nodded to that:; yes I know...:; she had felt that,sensed it,Hinn has pushed ehr to the breaking point before,long before she anf Victor knew one another:; hes ratehr good at doing that Willow will deal with him now....
I know...but still..- He sighed and looked back to her. - I just hope..it was just Hinn having the guts to pull this stunt on his own..

::Shea nodded:; I do not know whom else it might be,who else would be working with him. Hes done this before,been jealous like he is,yet now he just went too far...

Aye..- A nod to that. He knew of some of the stunts Hinn pulled with Shea, but wouldn't push for any details..but he did agree with Shea..Hinn pushed the wrong buttons this time -

::Shea rested her arms over him,and relaxed in to his arms:: when i was still fighting the forces of darkness Hinn came to get me in Rhydin after Connar left for the first time,i left for home again after a few things happened and I was injured and Connar came to see me Hinn got jealous,he knew that I would never feel the way about him as eh did for me,he was jealous of Connar and I ended up smacking hInn,for kissing me...

I know..- He chuckled softly..before kissing the tip of her nose. - Ye told me about him..and he was jealous you allowed a creature of the night..to swoon you into marrying him..- He grinned to that -

::she smiled to that:: swoon? ::she smirked:; I would be with no other....my dear creture of the night :; she kissed him softly:: I assme Ghallon told you that I went to Rhydin


Nah...I senced ye there..- Kisses her back softly - And I wouldn't wish to be with anyone else...my elven princess.

;she smiled softly, and blushed to the eleven princess remark he wasnt wrong she was a duaghter of a kinf even though Alcander was dead.:: I saw Connar again we had a nice long chatmagain it seems to be getting easier

That is good. - He smiled to that, as for Victor being a prince? He really had no clue if he really was one or not, as he never took the time to find out.. Wouldn't that be a surprise to everyone...the one everyone thought was a rogue, was a lost prince. -

::shea smiled to him running her fingers through the ends of his dark hair.It wouldnt suroise her at all if he was a prince,not that it ever mattered to Shea she loved her rogue husband, her dark creature of the night who was her lover...:: mmm
- And he loved his elven princess, his goddes..his wife..and his soulmate. He smiled softly back to her, as his hands ran up and down her back. -

::she leaned in to that touch upon ehr back::so i was thinking about the babies name, i havet through of a first name but what do you think about Adamina for a middle name? :: after ehr mother,a lovely name,that meant much to Shea::

:shea smiled:; well I will still have to think of a first name it will be somehting pretty....perhaps not elvish but I dont know yet but it will be something...Adamina Walsh...
:shea smiled:; well I will still have to think of a first name it will be somehting pretty....perhaps not elvish but I dont know yet but it will be something...Adamina Walsh...

- He smiled to that - Tis fine the way it is love, tis a pretty name.. - He smiled more to her, knowing it was her mother's name -
really??: shea smiled:: I do like the sounds of it,Adamina it will be then....

Good..- He grinned and nipped at her lips - Adamina Walsh it will be.
= ::she smriked and nipped back at him and purred ever so slightly:: so now that we are back in each others arms and all things are well again,what shall we do?

Hmm. - He grinned to that, before startng to carry her back to the house, not bothering to shift her current postion -
::shea giggled as he carried her off towards the house:: have something in mind?

Aye..- He grins softly to her. -
:;she smirked and softly stroked his wings again:: going to tell me or suprsise me?

He just smirked at her as he carried her into the house, then towards the bedroom, as the front door shut behind them -
:;she smirked watching the front door close:; surpise then? :: she snickered softly as her fingers graced the back of his neck::

::Shea opened her eyes tot he sun light and nodded:: Aye I would like to go see Icer.

Aiden and Mila were still staying at the castle with Darkmere and Jade once they got back to Nosgoth, meanwhile back at the small home, hidden in the woods, Victor was outside sitting on the porch, enjoying the night sky. He had hid guitar with him, as he was playing one of the songs, without the sing part..that he had sung to Shea...-

:;Shea sat thre with him enjoying the night brezze, shed changed from those clothes knigthly and more fit for mother hood to one of his shirts, bare feet and bare legs,yet she had that glow to her,she knew all was well, her son was happy, Salice would be all right and she was there with her beloved::

- He looked over to her, before starting to sing softly to her, seeing that both needed something to take their minds off the last few days. True...he knew everything was well again, but still those events were still fresh on everyone's mind..-

:she smiled swaying her head to the song, letting his voice the music relax her, the stress of the fest and all that ahd gone on was melting away ::

- He had closed his eyes, as he continued to sing softly, while slowly moving to stand now, then stated to move around her, continuing to play as well. -

;her eyes were closed but she felt him shift to standing and those jade hues opened and rested upon him as she leaned in that chair,watching him go around her as he sang, she so did love these moments::

- So did he, as he kneeled down in front of her, as he openned his eyes, and gazed up into hers, as he continued to play and sing for her..-

she gazed back in to his eyes and blushed softly. her tall dark lover, so kind and gentle like a stufffed teddy bear,with fangs.. that thought made ehr smile all the more:

- he smiled to her blushing at him. His elven goddess...elven knight, and his elven wife...whom was as gentle as he was, but just like him...was hell on wheels...once pissed off...though he did love to try and piss her off...That got him to smile.. -

:; s dark brows perked to his smile,she wondered what he must be thinking as he looked at her like that, she loved it so when he looked at her like that.It made her melt in to shea goo.. she slid her hands over her stomach ,as she gazed deeply in to his eyes::

My..earth angel..- He murmured softly to her, as with a touch of magic, she'd feel a pair of shadow wings wrapping around her form. Granted they were created by magic, but still...it did make her look all...angelic -

::she smiled and blushed all the more to that anme, and then her eyes shifted shut as she felt those magical shadow wing wrap about her from,they were magic granted but she loved how they felt, she imginaed for a moment that she had them for real..::

- He knew she always dreamed of having wings of her own, and softly tilted his head..He never wished to change anything about her, but like her..he oftened wondered...what she would look like..if she was in a way like him..-

::thsoe jade hues opened as she gazed back to him witha soft purr, she could almost feel thsoe wings though spun by magic, they felt real, she knew he didnt wish to change her, but for a wing mage there was nothing like wings, just as every mage wishes to get closer to that which is their element shea had always wondered if she had wings what would it feel like::

Do ye wish to have wings? - He whispered softly to her, as those magic spun wings were near real, as in a sence they were attached to her form, through her own magic...yet they still weren't the real thing. -

;she blinked to that:: some times i wonder what it would be like, i have known few with wings, Aldaya, her mother...ye, the Alcars.. :;she leaned in tot hatf eeling of those near real wings::i have often wondered what it would be like, but I do not know, I like that ye have wings...:: she elaned in and her fingers graced his shoulders:: one of those many things that drew me to you...

- He nodded softly to that, before setting his guitar to the side, then took her hands into his. - I know that, my love...but do you wish..to have wings of your own? - Whispered softly to her...as his eyes flickered white for a moment, and in that brief moment..those shadow wings around her..turned real...letting her feel every fiber in them twitching...as well as the feathers against her skin...-

she shivered to feleing them become real agaisnt ehr back, the weight yet lightness of them,the feeling of thsoe fetahers against ehr arms and she smiled to him her fingers graced those wings:: some part of me does...::she leaned in more and kissed him softly then gave those wings a flutter:: I think im happy with me the way I am... though they are so very pretty...

- He kissed her back softly - So am I, my love..but I won't lie to you now...I often have wondered...what you would look like...with wings and fangs of your own.. I would never dream of doing anything to change you...- He was being honest with her...as he had been wondering on those thoughts ever since they really started to become a couple -

:she smiled to him:: i have windered the same...::her hands reste dupon his shoulders:: I do love how they feel so soft and light ::another flutter:: too bad ye cant give me fangs for a test drive ::jade hues flared silver to him for a moment,as her fingers came up across the side of his neck:: for how i would love to please ye the way ye please me....

He closed his eyes to that, more to her actually saying she wished she had fangs. - I wish I could as well, my love...but..- He softyl pulled her out of the chair to rest on the porch against him. - even if I could...what would people say?

does it matter what they would say? :; she leaned against him and gazed up in to his eyes:: they say much about me,i care not what anyone says about me or you or us,i love ye,what they say and think is no matter to me

- He gazed softly back into her eyes, before sighing softly. - Nay..it doesn't matter what they say...but still...most would shun us both....some more than others..- Whispered softly to her. -

; a soft nod to that:: mmm I know :: her fingers graced over his neck as she rose to her tip toes, knwoing those wings would fade when he bid it so:; if there was a way, it wouldnt be for ever, just for when... ::she smiles at him:: would you want me to? If there was a magic that could make me,not only with wings but ::she flashed hima smile:: would ye want it?

He blinked to that, before having to actually think on that for a moment. - I..should beable to manage that...if you really wish to have that done..- HIs brows quirked..as he wanted to make sure she wanted that..more than he did.-

:she pressed her hands against his chest;; ye would not ahve to do it, i think i know a spell that might just work,aye I want to know what it is like,i have yeared to know...;;her fngers moved and slid along the side of his neck softly::

He closed his eyes, as she was telling the truth..He did wish to know what it was like.. - <vsw> If ye wish it...I wish it..- Letting her know...that it was fully her choice..to make this very slight change. -

:she leaned up closer and brushed ehr fingers along his jaw line:: aye I wish it :: she whipsered softly to him,her eyes flcikered silver and white, and she chanted softly under ehr breath, it was an old spell,very old.. where she had learned it was anoyones guess. Hed feel ehr body shift against his , and her hands slid over his neck and shoudlers and hed feela soft pulse of magic, then when her eyes opened again theyd be a darker tone of jade with silver little dot like stars shinning with in them bright a brilliant::

- He nodded softly to her, with a shiver rocking his form to her hands caressing his neck and shoulder, watching and listening to her chanting that spell. HIs brows quirked for a moment, at the spell, before noticing the change in her eyes. -

:: she smiled softly,then a bit more,she could feel those fangs in her mouth where her not so sharp canines had been were fangs,fangs shed felt and seen but now had,her tounge slid over the backs they were real,she flashed im a toothy grin:: what do you think?
Nice..- He smirked, before tilting his head softly to the side, as he lifted her up, and with a pulse of magic, she'd feel those wings start to mend tighter into her own aura of magic..putting them fully under her control now..allowing her to summon them, in her prefered color -

:up she went and she shivered a bit to that pulse of magic that melded those wings to her back, she gave them a flutter, they looked nice white, but just for fun she focused and made the outer edges of each feather a soft sky blue : , Now she had fangs and wings, her long blue hair down, and he might note what she was wearing now, she had been in one of his shirts now she was in a black dress that fit nicely, to her every growing form as the child with in her had grown ... she leaned in closer to his neck and placed a soft kiss::

- He smirked to that. - My elven..vampiric angel.. - Whispering to her as he noted each change she had made, then tilted his head more, exposing that one little spot on his neck. She'd know which spot it was, as it was the only spot on him, where her magical aura seemed to encircle -

; she kissed up to that spot, that spot she knew well she loved to playfully bite it and kiss it and run ehr fingers ove rit with pusles of magic, now ahs leaned in close and kissed it tenderly,those fangs gracing his skin,shea ahd never once done anything like this. Her arms were wrapped up around his shoulders soft pusles of magic seeping in to him,before she let the tips of those fnags pin prick his neck::

- he shivered to that, before softly moving his hand up into her long mess of blue hair, just as she bared her new magical made fangs at his neck. He then softly helped her to bite down, fully into his neck, with his hand softly curling into her hair, causing him to shiver a bit more against. It was another first for them both...Shea knowing what it was like to bite another..and Victor to be the one bitten..-

::feeling his ahnds curl in to ehr hair, and feeling thsoe fangs sink in she shivered,the rush she felt, ehr eyes closed shea knew the taste of blood well,but this was all the more intoxicating. Her hands gripped softly in to his shoulders as she gave a soft purr in to his neck::

- And he purred back to her, as she drank from him, as his eyes were glowing white now, with him shivering more against her, before starting to rub the back of her neck, to coax her into being more...agreesive. -

::she shivered softly,feeling that rub at the back of her neack which made ehr lean more in to his neck and drink all the deeper, her nails started to dig in to his shoudler, those wings fluttered abit,her eyes were closed so tightly,if her eyes ahd been open theyd be glowing a bright iridescent green ::

- And he moaned softly into her ear, letting her know just what this was doing to him, as she drank deeper from him, yet made no move to tease or pleasure her, as it seemed..that this alone was doing that

::Shea purred against his neck,this was pleasuring her,her legs had come up to wrap around him ,there they were on that porch, her with wings and fang,drinking deeply from him,pressing her self in to him,as she enjoyed the feeling of this moment, the taste of his blood in her mouth that aroused her::

- And the two would land outside their home, before he looked down at her. - My naughty little wind mage.
:;she smiled to him:: but you like me that way ::those wings shimmered in to view::

True..- He smirked to that - and ye like me being naughty as well.
::a smirk to that:: aye I do. I am so used to being oh so good,that being around ye makes a different side of me come out
I know..- He chuckled and murmured a few words, sending their gear into the house, as well as their cloaks and boots, before he swept her up to be craddled in his arms, then turned heading towards the lake, that was near the house -
::she smirked as he swooped her up,cloakless,bootless and weaponless now within his arms::
- And he carried her off towards the lake, before sitting down, and placed his feet in that always cool water, before sitting her beside him -
::her feet slipped in to the cool waters and she leaned her head to his shoulder::mmm this is a nice escape
: Aye it is. - He smiled and slipped his arm around her, before looking out across the lake. She'd notice the moment that got back home, every fiber in his being seemed to just relax. Could what Etten said be true with Victor wanting to hang his sword up and focus solely on their family? -
::she did notice that,,aybe all the Etten had said was true, did Victor wish to hang up all his wepaons and focus on this fmaily? Could shea ever hope to dot he same for long? For now she would realx though the waters shifting as she focused upon them::
- He looked softly to her, then back out at the lake. He knew she felt that he was more at ease when he had her away fro Rhy'Din...away from all the bloodshed, backstabbing..as well as all the..here today..gone tomorrow friends...Here...both were important..as well as that being true in her homelands.. -

::she was visibly more relaxed as well,none of the worries that she carried in Rhydin followed her here,none of the constant worry that every shoadw had to be feared,she could go with out her wepaons ehre and at home and in Crendia. In Rhydin she carried as many as she could,she smiled and made little balss of water rise out of the lake and dance in circles in the moon light::

Shea...- He started softly..knowing her vow to the people...but he needed to say it - I want you to pull back as much as you can from helping them...You carry to much on your shoulders...I see it everytime we are there...- He softly looked to her - I know you are a woman of your word...but ye can't keep this up...not anymore..

:She looked to him::I have pulled back mylove I only work in the groups assianged by Lord.. :;she paused :: Brian, the ones made at the council hearing,i do not go alone.It does weigh heavy upon me,tis way I have pulled back so much.I am going to speak with Brian as soo as I can,to see if I may be able tow ork some other side of this fight...some where away from the battles.I also have to speak to Isulet and the sisters.I do not wish to spread my self any thinner

- He nodded softly to that. - I know ye nae wish to spread yourself to thin...but.. ye have something more imporatnt to worry about that the safety of the people of Rhy'Din..- It was odd for Victor to be like this, but when he placed his hand against her stomach..He hoped she'd see whay he didn't want her in Rhy'Din.. True..she had told him about her fighting when she was with Aiden...but it appeared Victor didn't want her chancing their child...Shea was known to be reckless.. -

:;her hands came to rest over his::I will not risk our daughter.Tis why I am goign to speak to Brian,he will understand,I owe them that much.I nae have to be in the line of fire to help this fight.:: she leaned in closer:: I will not be going back in to the battle my love,ye nae have to worry

He nodded softly to that, and slipped his arms around her. - <vsw> If I lost ye..and our daughter...I would lose my reason for living...- He hoped that didn't spook her..as to him..it was the truth -

:she leane din closer:: (vsw) ye will not lose me,nor our duaghter,ever my love. For I dare not risk it,but am I to give up on this help I so vowed?I will not fight I vow this to you,but I still wish to help . Though I would long to just stay ehre or at home in greenstone forever with out thinking another day about Rhydin,I am a woman of my word, even if I must chnage what I am able to do for them

- He sighed softly to that - Alright...ye may still help them...but ye are nae to join in any battles...- Softly stroking her hair now, as she'd see...Etten had been right...Victor wanted nothing to do with Rhy'Din anymore...It held nothing to him...True he still had a few friends...but his place was away from there now...-

:she nodded softly,Rhydin was a battle ground Shea knew that:;I will not fight ye have my word ::shea was a woman of ehr word and she would keep it::I will speak to brian as soon as I can,I know he shall understand,Issy might be a bit angry but she will understand as well.I shall only work behind th e scenes no fights,no battles,no more risking it all. for I wish to not be so much apart of this fight,this darkness I have not the power to stop...::she closed her eyes::

- Another soft nod. - Thank ye...- Whispered softly to her, as he held her tighter, much tighter in his arms, but not enough to cause her harm or harm to their child.. He had finally gotten that off his chest -

:;she snuggled in closer and those balls of water shed had risen from the lake shifted in to water roses and fell back in to the lake with a soft splash:: sometimes I wish I could just stay away from Rhydin. But I find it so hard

I know..the only reason I go now..is my vow to ye..- Which was true, he did vow to keep her safe from harm...-

I feel so connected to that place,the people,my few friends left there.This mission to save it seems so,a fools game of folly.But what sort of knight would I be if I didnt try to help them,even justa little bit.

- He sighed softly again - I know ye feel connected to that place...and we both have friends there...but we both know...that most there could care less if anything happened to either one of us...save our family and few friends...

aye I know::a deep breath then:: I knwo that all too well, but there are some that would care,though few and far between
True...but ye seen how welcomed we are now..- Mostly him now, her to a lesser extent. -

:a soft nod to that::I know.Tis why we spend s much time here.Tis why I paln to spend more time ehre and the places we love like greenstone and crendia.Places we are loved by fmaily and friends.Places we dont have to worry

- A soft nod to that as well. - Tis why I nae like going there anymore...I prefer home...be it in Greenstone, Crendia...or here...but I guess I need to accept..that ye will continue going back..no matter how much I wish..ye'd just stay here...with me..- Said softly..not meaning it to sound as...selfish as it did -

::her eyes closed and shea felt sad:;Victor....::she breathed and shook her head softly,she wanted to stay there with him, stay any where he was,realx and not worry,but even if she wasnt going to fight this war,even if she had no part in the battles even from behind the lines of fire she would always return to Rhydin,maybe not as often as she once did but she would.She sighed deeply:: ye know I wish to stay here with ye....

I know ye do...- He hugged her softly. - Sorry...I just worry when ye go there..Tis not safe there...never was..and as much as we would wish it..it will never be safe..- He sighed softly...feeling he never should have said anything. -

I know...::another deep breath.Shea knew it wasnt safe there:: perhaps ye are right...perhaps I should staya way,inform who I must and leave Rhydin.... ::she throught of her friends, old times,old memories... if she had never gone to Rhydin she and Victyor would never have met,she closed her eyes tightly as her hands shifted over her stomach::

Shea..- He softly leaned her back, and lifted her gaze to his. He knew of those memories...more importantly..their memories together. - I don't wish ye to do this because of me...I'm not trying to change ye...- He sighed and looked down - I never should have said anything...

::she leaned in close and kissed his cheek::nae I am glad ye did, I know ye wouldnt try to change me nor my mind upon the matter,but I know you worry. I wouldnt be doing it just for ye,Id be doing it for me,and our daughter.For our family,for my son...

he nodded softly to that, and looked back to her. - It's just...everything we come back from there...ye seemed more relaxed...True..we do spend time together at the Inn..but..tis not like it used to be..- Now caressingher cheek. - we used to be able to relax there..now..tis more of a meeting place for us..with a bit of relaxing...We belong here now...
:shea nodded to that and leane din to that touch upon her cheek::yes we do

- A light smile to her, as he closed his eyes.. as it seemed more weight had been lifted off his shoulders from this talk with her...-
: Ye are right :;she leaned in closer, was Rhydin worth fighting for. Shea wasnt sure any more. She would speak with Brian dn issy and then be done with it,maybe a few goodbyes to her few ftrue friends before she would 'retire' to Nosgoth and home::

- He nodded softly to that, not really aimming for her to pull back fully, but in the end..maybe he really had been aimming for that, but for now he let that thought slip from his mind, as he slipped his arms back around her again -

::she leaned in to his embrace,it would be hard,she would break her vow to Rhydin,years of fighting for it and now she was done.It wasnt a city that could be saved,not by her,not by those fighting upon the same side.Even if this darkness was beaten back a new one would rise as it always did before. She tooka deep breath and relaxed::

- True...Rhy'Din had always been a battleground..with those always fighting the darkness. Not all the people there were bad, yet even with the good fight going, there was always more bad things going on, with nothing being done about it. -

:she flicked some water at him witha touch of magic and smirked,to lighten the mood.Her feet wet, her ankles as well:
- He smirked and with a flick of magic done the same, before being playfully, as he just up and tossed her in! -

:splash she went,cacthing her breath before she was tossed in to the waters, her head poked up out of the water and she peered at himf rom under that mat of dark blue hair,and smirked, she gave a good kick and would soak him:::

Hey! - He smirked to that, and slipped into the water as well, only to dunk her under the water. -


::she smirked and kicked about as he dunked her, she was a mutli talented mage she could bretah under the waters like a fish::

- Maybe..but he wasn't using magic, as he started to swin from her -

::she smirked and swam after him, very 'shark' like::

- He looked over his shoulder, and grinned.before swimming a bit faster -
::she giggled and slipped in to the waters,to seemingly disappear::

- He blinked to that, before coming to a stop - Hey! no fair...
::he would feel a tickle at his backside,before her head poped out of the waters:: Boo!

And to play along he "jumped" before looking to her - Evil....- he narrowed his gaze at her, but couldn't help but grin. - You are an evil..black magic woman..- Ironic..that Shea seemed to love those shadows now..that she once had no taste for -

- And Victor would appear at home, pausing before heading inside as he ran his hand through his hair. Yeah...this was going to be interesting, he waited another few moments, before heading inside, and very quietly at that. He then started to remove his weapons. -

:: The room was quiet, Sheas cloak gone, no sign of her, Save for the soft pulse of wind through the room. Then he'd see her outside with Aiden, they were sparing, Shea getting out some of that aggression::
- he smirked to that, before heading outside, still wearing his coat..and that one sword. He walked close enough to watch. -

::Sheas back was to him and Aiden gave hima smile, sparing against his mother was nothing new for the youth, there in the rgass sat Mila watching them as well:

- A nod to Mila, towards Aiden...as he started to draw that sword. Looks like he wanted to spar the wind mage now..Not a wise move...when he had something to tell her...but better him than someone else. -

:Aiden with drew and smiled to Victor. Shea turned, her mothers blade in her left hand, silver hues focused upon Victor as Mila and Aiden slipped off in to the night to laave the two be alone...:;

- He smirked and lifted her father's sword up. - Shall we? - He winked at her, and motioned her for her to attack. -

::Her brows rose at him, the winds had tossled her hair about,she had slid her cloak off it hung upon the brach of the near by tree. She nodded to him, flipping that light sword to her right hand, before she tooka few slow steps to the left::

I have something to tell ye.. - he started to move in a circle with her, eyes staying on her's. - I have been fighting in your place...I know ye wish to be there fighting...and ye got Jade to take your place...but..- He brought the sword up a bit - I don't fight for the people...I fight for you.

:Shea watched in ears perekd to what he told her:: I know.. I ahve known.Rhydin carries a scent as do thsoe who ye hunt. I know why ye fight love :: she took a step forward then quickly crossing to meet blade to blade with him::

He sighed softly..seeing she didn't blow up on him, as he snapped that blade up to meet her's. - And when ye give birth..if you wish to join the fight again...I won't fight it..- His eyes shot to white...might as well make this interesting. - Now...bring it..little wind mage..

:those silver hues shimmered as she looked to him:; when Adamian is born I will raise her, I know all too wellw hat my son went through with out me for years,I will not have that again. Only when I am ready will I go back to the fight in Rhydin. : She smirked and with drew a bit:: little? me....? :: she smirked and those winds rose::


And she will have her father at her side...- Seems both of them have come to terms with everything now...Shea resting at home...with Victor taking up the fight in Shea's abbsence..He leaped back from her, before suddenly darting forward, while swing that sword in an overhand stike. Moving in a diaginal slash. - Yes..you little.

::Shea darted to the side and rolled over the cold grass and sprng to her feet:; I may be little but I am fast..::She had come to terms with it yes, after talking to Aiden and Jade and seting a few things in their place she was content here in Nosgoth. Rhydin be damed::

- He grinned to that, and he spun to face her. - True...fast at everything..- A wiggle of his brows. Was he being a bad boy during this little spare. Yup -

: ::she smirked at him,she held a high guard, silver hues focuses upon him.:: whats that supposed to mean? :; the winds flared around him turning ice cold, then flaring with heat,she might as well get out all that pent up aggression::

- He smirked more and he let out a swirl of shadows, to keep her winds at bay - What do you think? - Another wiggle of his brows- Ye know...- He them motioned her to send more at him...before he darted towards her again, to lock blades with her again.

::she looked up to him as the blades locked, she held fast against him.Her hues flared white a moment but she couldnt help but smirk. She wondered how it would be to fight him, not now, for she knew he was holding back, but so was she, but if they ahd met years before. He the bad boy rogue and she the knight whata fight that would have been::

- True he was holding back..but she knew why...She was with child. He smirked back at her, before shifting his form just slightly, to apply more strenght into their joined swords -

:The wind at her back made her all the stronger as he shifted more weigth against the blade locked before them, that swept guard sword of hers flared with the wind, but since that blade she held was once her mothers and the one he had was once ehr fasthers the two blades more complemented one another rather than anything else... that wind stirring that natural water elemental within that blade that wa sonce Alcanders.Shea shifted a bit, stepping back witha smirk::

- He smirked to that, as he leaned back as well, waving the sword at her...teasing and taunting. At that moment..he did look like that dark rogue from his own past..weilding her father's sword. How odd...this would have looked all those years ago. -

::she smirked at him:: tease :;she flipped that sword to her left hand. Long ago she'd learned how to weild a sword with both hands. He had that look about him, as he teased her,she shook her head.::

- he smirked to that- Oh really? - He sheated that sword, before reaching over his back...only to summon the swords..he used to use. One black..and one white, with his eyes flickering to black. - Better? - What? She wanted to know what it would be like...then again...this might just stir more that a will to fight. -

: ::She smirked to him, she sheathed her mothers sword along her left, she wouldnt have had that years ago. her own sword appeared in her right hand,her own dagger at her right shethed.those gems upon her sword shown in the night ,the winds died downa bit,long ago she had not yet mastered her wind element.::

- He smirked to that, and shook his head. The shadows around him died down as well...before slowly fading, before he lowered to a kneel, then laid the swords on the ground. Oh he was being bad...then again...he was smirking at her. -


:;her brows rose watching him, her eyes went to jade again, though darker than her natural tone.She spun that sword in her hand, it had been along time since she used her own sword.She watched him closely.::

- He winked at her, before suddenly disappearing...as did the swords. He would suddenly appear behind her, with both swords coming at her back in different angles. One from left to right, and the other from right to left. -

::she felt those swords at her back at thsoe angles one at the right one at the left, he was good wasnt he:: Ye would have had me beat the moment ye disappeared back then :: She looked over her shoulder to him::

I know. - He smirked as the blades stopped right against her form..- but it wouldn't of been a fair fight...- Said as he sheathed them...- Granted we are both trained....- Now slipping his arms around her. - That's in the past... - He then smirked - besides...you would of fallen for me the moment you saw me..

::she smirked softly and turned to face him:: aye we were very different people then:: brows rose again:: oh I would have fallen for ye right off, cocky are we?

Always. - He growled at her, not chaging those eyes from being pitch black. - Admit it..- He smirked at her, softly baring his fangs with his hands rubbing against ehr back. -

::she smiled to him softly, and leaned back in to his touch:: perhaps, but ye forget I was fighting men just like ye,so I suppose it would depend on when we met... :;a sly smirk:: besides ye wouldnt have liked me then... I ahd lost Adaron and sworn off men,and become a warrior for the cause

True..and I was cold blooded..- He smirked, and leaned down to brust his lips over hers a moment. - It would of been interesting...way back then...- Now moving his lips to her ear. - <vsw> A wild..passionate moment...only to find ourself fighting on different sides...

::she shivered to that softly,after those soft kisses were returned.:: wild, and passionate :; her brows rose softl again as she leaned back in to him,she sheathed her sword as she gave her self to him:: Ye are still some what thatd ark rogue ye were ::a smirk, her eyes flared silver at him:: still wild and dark...

: That I am...and ye are still the woman ye are...a fighter..- He grinned. - It is odd...back then...we wouldn't pause to kill the other...yet now...here we are...married...in love and starting a family together..- He chuckled softly - I just think you have a thing for bad boys..

she smirked tot hat:;aye perhaps I do.. ::She gazed up to him now,with that soft smile,it was ture long ago they wouldnt have paused in battle,save for witty banter for that was Sheas specailty.. but now they were married, she was with child ,she smiled even more as she kissed him softly::


: - he kissed her back softly, before softly chuckling a moment as he leaned back. - I could see it..you trying to be sassy...with me booting you around. - Oh he was being bad.. - - As well as cocky -

::her brows rose to that::ye just think so highly of your self,perhaps I would be the victor int hat fight,for who knows she fluttered her lashes at him:: Ye might have fallen for me then,young beautiful, and a fine warrior. :; a smirk::

Maybe...- He smirked to that, before leaning to her ear. - You are still a young...beautifull and fine warrior. - Now started to kiss the lenght of he neck, in a more..darker tone..possibly showing her just how dark he once was. -

::she shivered to his whisper and more to those ksises down her neck, she felt that darker tone she ehard it as well,now it just made her shiver,she enjoyed his dark ways:: mmm ::she tilted her neck some more and smirked :: or perhpas we would hav fought and ye would have won... though I wonder,being that I am so young and beautiful, what would ye do? :: more of a smirk.. baadddd shea::

He grinned to that. - What would I do? - He leaned to her ear. - If you survied...I would of taken you...and turned you to my siide..made you willing pet. - Whispered in her ear, before continuing those kisses, while letting those much darker pulses to caress her skin...True now...she adored this...but in the past she wouldn't -

::she smirked to that:: I would have survived, your willing pet hmmm, I was nto so easy to turn back then ::she leaned back more with her smile growing over her features as she felt those dark pulses, she could feel those fnags behind her lips,he brought outthat dark side in her,she had embraced itable to walk both sides with out going to far either way,balanced...::

He grinned as he ran his fangs along her neck. He was in a sence like her.. True in his past he walked the dark side, but now..like her..there was a balance. -

::she smikred and shivered a bit more, shifting back against him,it was no wonder they fit so well, so perfectly balanced::

- He purred against her neck, before his hand came up to cup the other side of her neck, with his other hand pressing softly against her stomach. It was a soft gesture to show her how he used to feed, just as he bit softly into her neck, then started to drink as softly from her -

:she shivered even more as her head tilted in to the hand at the other side of her neck, her body raced with goose bumps as she felt his fangs sink in to her neck , she purred softly. ::


He purred back against her neck. Both knew each other's past, yet it seemed Shea had been the one to have the biggest change.. Going from fearing and not wanting to be near a vampire, or a dark male...to being with both..with it turnning her one more that ever -

::She leaned back in to his arms,she had feared trhe darkness for so long, feared vampires, for after all she ahd faced with those vampires from Crenida and all the darkness she had faced she had never expected to love one so deeply,not only that but to want to be like one,to feel what it was like.She had changed but she liked it, she wanted it.She purred softly her eyes fluttering opena nd closed she gazed over to him::

- He slowly pulled back from her neck, letting her see those red hues of his..a sign she had seen in other vampires, but never in him. - Mmm..- A slow lick of his lips, before kissing her deeply -

::she saw those red hues before he kissed her, she returned that kiss,,she had seen red eyes in other vampires yet never him,so that kiss was returned with her brows quirked upwards::

- He pulled back. - Something wrong my love? - A soft smile for her, as he was just giving her a deeper look into his vampiric side. -

::she sook her head softly: nae...::her fingers graced his cheek softly,and she leaned back up in to that kiss::

And he would sweep her up into his arms, keeping that kiss, going before taking her into the house. -

Shea returned to Nosgoth. Her bones were weary. She had left Jade in Rhydin. The chaos was teaming. Shea looked across the field seeing Mila and Aiden walking in tot he Castle, then she felt something. The windes breezed past her. She walked in to the house. "Victor...?" Her jade hues scanned about the empty hosue, he wasnt there, he wasnt in Nosgoth she could feel it more so now. Shea gazed around. "Oh Victor..." She gazed down to the floor, and sank slowly to her knees. She had been so busy with Rhydina nd getting things done that she felt like a terrible wife.

Aiden passed inside behind her with Mila. "Atara?"

Shea rose slwoly and looked to him with teary eyes. "Utinu."

Aiden crossed to her, and lifted her up slowly. "Are you injured,where is Atar?"

"hes gone.." Mila looked around, she was not senseless.

::Aiden looked back to Darkmere first and ndoded softly:: That understadable....:

:Shea looked to Darkmere, as he singled her out:: Yes, we do it seems, No Utinu,Mila please leave us...

::Aiden ndoded and took Milas hand and led her out of the house through the back door with out a glance back.::

If you wish to speak with me, then speak with me Darkmere. ::Her hands shifted in to her cloak and she follwoed him:: I know that look and this is not news you joy in telling me

::Shea sighed softly:: Darkmere... my vow to Victor means more to me than anything else, and I have pulled back.I onyl go to meet with Jade and go to the inn I do not go to fight. I did help save Icer and Moon but did not fight. I love Victor with all my herat and soul,that is why I have pulled back.Victor only needs to trust me,I would never do anything to hurt him.

::Shea breathed softly:: I can not leave Rhydin forever Darmkere,I can not simply leave he said he understood that,I will not fight I gave him that vow, and I shall not but I will not leave my friends there to die.Jade has taken over my patrols,so there in I do not fight. I love Victor and will do anything for him.

::She gazed up to Darkmere then:: He is everything to me... our family means everything. So if what he really needs is for me to leave Rhydin for good, then i shall do so... :: shea was serious now:: I don't wish to lose him. Darkmere I wish only to be with my husband and raise our daughter in peace. I will do anything he asks of me,I need him by my side.

::She listened to him, and unfolded her arms and hung her head a bit, she knew who that 'friend ' was. Until she had reason not to trust that so called friend' Shea would not have any proof to the latter.:: I know he does not trust him, but he wouldnt dare harm me. ::Shea looked to Darkmere again,:: I love Victor, and I love what we have,he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. :;she gazed to the platter She saw a smaller form of herself, Victor and Aiden on it. :: I love him for all he does for me and my son. I love him,I would give my life for him. I would do anything... I love the family we are creating, :: her hands shifted down across her stomach then:: Yes I want him to come back to me, I dont want to be alone Darkmere I have raised a child alone before and been wiht out love in my life I do not wish for that I would sooner have death... than live without Victor

Once Shea took the portal, she would find herself on that one spot in Greenstone, where the statue of her father was. There she would find Victor, his back to that portal as well as to her. He didn't notice she was there. At the moment, he was looking up at that statue.



" I wish I had your strenght. I trust Shea with my life, as well as trusting her judgement. I know she loves me..and I love her. Like me...she'd never betray me or do anything to hurt me. I know I have told her..time and time again, that I wish for her to pull back, from her dealings in Rhy'Din. "



He sighed softly, as he looked down to that one medallion that rested on his chest. His hand came up to softly curl around it. His other hand was curled around the hilt of her father's sword. Both items had been gotten during his courtship of Shea.


" I love her with every breath I take, every beat of my heart. I know she loves me the same. It just seems there is always someone out there, trying to steal her from me...or trying to cause her harm. I guess it is the thought of actually losing her, that has me acting rather...over protective of her. "


He openned his eyes before looking back up at the statue. " I have been asking alot of her...mostly due to my own fears. I just want... " He paused a moment to look down at his wedding band. " I just want to raise a family with her, grow old with her...I know it is alot to ask, but it is a simple wish. To grow old with the one you love. "


He closed his eyes again, as one hand was still around that medallion, fingers lightly caressing it. " Give me the strenght to get rid of these fears.." He still had no clue, Shea was there to hear him.

::Shea stood there a moment then vanished once more to go to Victor.::

::The winds swrilled around her form as she appeared there ,she had flickered back to Nosgoth and taken that portal to go to Victor.::

::As she appeared where he was her eyes dimmed to their natural jade tone, but her hair had grown more silver.Her cloak flipped back in the wind as she gazed outwards acrross the landscape Her fathers statue looking at her as if to say something, she saw Victor and heard every word he spoke.:: Melamin d?hena amin, ten' amin sina cael saian engwar verne', ar' amin caro il lle vee' amin verno' :

;She lowered her head her hair swept over her face, the dark blue tone had nearly faded completely now silver locks tinted with the slightest of blues swept her cheeks.:: amin il maer a' rudh lle hin

::She sank to her knees,,and closed her eyes and let the tears flow down her cheeks as she slid her hand back in to her cloak.::

No :; she huggled him tightly and breathed him in to her lungs,the very air around him,his scent the feeling of his hands his arms..everything. ::I was blind,I shouldnt fight this fight,I shouldnt even be there my vows are to you. ::She leaned in to him and closed her eyes. Her silver hair whipped around her.Why was her hair now silver toned anyhow? ::

Ye have made my dreams come true, and I have not thought one bit of yours..I dont want to fight in Rhydin, just help my friends stay safe,I do not need a sword or bow to fight there. I will not fight there... I wish to be in safety with you... ::Shea thought of the night of the battle in the Alley way to save Moon and Icer from their collars,she had not fought but she had used her magic to defend and heal. :: Ye have been right all a long I trust your judgment,and your feelings. I want to leave Rhydin behind,Shay knocked some sense in to me as did Darkmere,my vows are to you first and fore most then to Edhel Ndor and the allied Kingdoms then to Rhydin :: Rhydin was last on the list::

::Jade hues a gazed to that staute of her father standing there ont he highest peek of the GreenStone Mountains.Then to Victor through teary eyes:: I will pull back from my dealings in Rhydin...it will rise or fall without me. I will only venture there to the inn but never engage in combat or defense again,the only thing I will do is heal if someone is woudned... And I shall never go alone,someone will go with me if not Aiden or Mila. Jade or ye but never alone..::Her fingers pressed to that medallion that hung from Victors neck:: No one will ever take me from you.I am not one to be taken lightly. We shall grow old by one anothers side,though I do not think we shall age to look elderly.. :: Now at last the dark blue tone started to return to her hair.::


You are strong, and protective of me and mine and I love thee, with my every breath. Forgive me for being ::she gazed deeply in to his eyes:: weak.... forgive me and stay by my side,please do not leave me.... ::the fear of that was too much to bare,that fear and that anger with her self had been what turned her hair to silver.:: Come home with me, we will stay in the safetly of Edhel Ndor or Nosgoth or Crenida even...as long as I am with ye. For without ye I shall simply cease to live... I choose to surrender. I do not wish to fight in Rhydin until after our daughter is born...and my strength returns to me fully. Please my love tell me that you will not go... ::she clung to him tightly,she had lost many loves Adaron,Blahl and Connar. two to death one to something she couldnt really give a name. She would simply die if she had to live the rest of her years without Victor:: I beg of thee not to go...

:: Shea leaned in to him, thsoe touches of silver washed through her hair a touch here and there making her hair shimmer more than usual. :: Ye are going to stay then ::She leaned heavily in to him and closed her eyes.:; I was so worried ye were going to leave me...

:: another tear hit the ground and she took a deep breath, the winds rose around them a warm sense of comfort::
