"Wyheree!!"

Brian yelled across the room and quickly covered the ground between himself the and incredibly upset elementalist. He had seen this look only once before and knew it was going to get severely ugly if something wasn't done and quickly. Someone else screamed out Wyheree's name, and did it with such force, Brian would feel the power in the very air, yet no response.

Ice could be heard crackling about the 'Ice Queen', her eyes were a sparking blue hue, and the look on her face was unadulterated anger. Icer quietly stayed at Wyheree's side and made no sudden movement. Brian eyed the patrons around once more, and looked to Wyheree yet again and simply took the simplest course of action... He hugged her.

Brian wrapped his arms around the woman he called his 'heart-sister' and hugged her tightly. He spoke to her briefly, his voice soothing and quite sincere, as he offered a warm smile for good measure.

"It's Alright.. We need to go for a walk."

And just like that, Wyheree calmed herself, and spoke softly. Yet her voice carried a much harder undertone.

"I'd like that, please."

Brian had no real idea that she would calm down, he just hoped their connection would assist in the situation and luckily, his hoped had paid off. Taking Wyheree by the hand, Brian offered yet another smile and guided her out the door of the Inn, and towards the market.

So what was it that upset Wyheree so badly? One word, well two actually.. Tommy and Bob. It seems Tommy caused a great deal of distress to Jewell by apparently interjecting himself into her relationship with Skyer, and causing Skyler to leave his her. This in turn caused Jewell to lose it, and in a fit of rage attempt to light Tommy on fire, which mind you would not have been a bad thing. Brian, Icer and Wyheree stepped in and Tommy was saved one hell of a hot time.

This of course upset, Tommy who said he'd kill Jewell, which of course set Brian off who in turn went to approach Tommy, only to have Tommy leave the Inn, which of course set Brian off even worse than before as a string of curses that would make a drunken sailor's own words look like a Sunday Mass erupted from the Elder Ravenlock, as rage kicked in once more. It had been a good while since Brian lost it in that regards, but eventually he calmed himself. Then came Bob, who decided to pick at Wyheree and threaten her love, thus upsetting her to the point, where she snapped once more, and began to take shots at Bob and without knowing it, possibly harm other around her.

So now we move ahead once more, Brian and Wyheree walked around the Marketplace quietly. They passed people heading home, and watched quietly as vendors began to close shop, and guardsmen began patrolling. Brian offered yet another smile to Wyheree, and a gentle squeeze of her hand. As they continued.

(s) "It's alright.."

Wyheree sighed softly, her fight to keep control was still in progress, yet she made great stride in her efforts.

"Is it? I would have killed him.."

Brian shook his head a moment and chuckled softly with a reply.

"You didn't.. So yes it was good. We both lost it.. I am afraid my rage may have influenced
you. I apologize."

Wyheree took slow and calming breaths, and paused for a moment before she sounded off.

"I was angry enough and I fear we influenced each other. I am sorry."

"Do not be sorry, we are one at times.. It happens, and I do not regret it.. And truth be told, I want to kill him too."

Wyheree nodded, and replied.. Her voice a whisper on the wind, but was loud enough for Brian to hear and feel each word as the Ice Queen spoke.

"I want them both."

Brian offered a reassuring smile, and slid an arm around Wyheree, a gentle squeeze offered as they walked closely. His reply was soft in tone, yet carried quite the edge to it.

"It's okay, sister. In time we will dance with them."

Wyheree closed her eyes, and leaned her head against his shoulder. Her anger subsiding, as they walked quietly and enjoyed one another's company.

"Usually the only one who can stand to be close to me when I am angry is Icer."

Brian let a bit of a chuckle escape his lips and leaned to her as they walked

"I guess you can add me to the list, then."

Calming down more so, Wyheree sighed a moment and paused a bit in thought .

"He baited me and I fell for it. No one threatens me or mine, especially not James. And he is wll aware of that."

"We all got baited. Sister-mine. I know... We shouldn't allow then to get to us, but we defend our own
fiercely." Brian smiled a moment and continued. "We just need to be careful, more so."

Wyheree, nodded against his shoulder "That we do and I will try not to rise to the baiting."

"You alright? Also, I will try harder too."

Wyheree's silver eyes looked upon her brother. "I am now. Thank you.. You saved the Inn collateral damage and he will never reach Jewell when I am around."

Brian lifted her hand, and offered a small kiss to it and nodded to her.

"It's alright sister-mine. I am glad to helped you and the Inn, and I know.. Jewell is and will be safe."

Wyheree smiled softly in return. "The chairs and tables thank you. And I thank you.. for everything."

"And I thank you.. Because here I am enjoying a wonderful walk with a dear loved one.Then again no thanks is really required as this is just what we do. Tough love, baby That's just how we roll."

Wyheree smiled once more. "The evening is lovely."

"It sure it, the only thing that could make it better would be Jenai and James, being here with us."

"Then it would be perfect".

"Yes it would.."

"But I enjoy the time you and I spend together."

"I am glad you are better."

"I am glad you are also. Was someone else trying to speak to me? I thought I heard another voice besides yours."

"I believe it was Ryn, he was trying to gain your attention."

"It was all at a distance... Until I felt you."

A one armed hug was given to Brian. "You brought me back".

"It's what I do. The end it what matters. You came back and that is what is important.

"That is true. And this ended better than th last time I lost my temper."

"Exactly! Happy ending!"

"Neither of us hit walls."

"No walls." A laugh escaping Brian's lips as he pondered the last time they lost it a bit.

"Or windows." said with a wry grin.

"Granted the 'VoaS' has behaved much better since that night."

"She has. Now if the others on our list would follow her example."

This caused Brian to laugh once more.

"So ya wanna head back?"

"I think so.. Though, I pray Bob is not there."

Brian offered a warm smile to Wyheree. "If he is, we just deal with it." Once more her hand was kissed, as he nodded to her in assurance. "Together, sister-mine."

Wyheree smiled in return. "Always, brother mine."

"Alright, off we go. Wanna teleport us? I've always wanted a ride on the Ice Queen Express." a playful grin followed that remark, as he knew she would not take it in a bad way.

Wyheree grinned and held out her hand once more to Brian. "Take my hand - and we will go!"

Brian smiled, and took her other hand and held on, as they vanished in a swirl of Ice and Mist.. Moment's later it was as if they had never been there.

It is the evening of 9/28.. Two days before Brian is set to accompany Kairee to Appleburg, and two days after Renna had revealed herself to Brian in the market via Lucy, and nearly a day since Renna herself had spoke with Brian, after her true return. Brian and Wyheree have just left the Inn, and are now walking through the market place....

The sword 'Pulgasari' vanished, as Brian's hands went to his pockets. Quietly, he walked next to Wyheree, his eyes panning the heavens above as if looking for some kind of an answer. Wyheree's silver eyes looked to Brian as they continued.

"What troubles you brother mine?"

"Wyheree.. Do you ever.. feel incomplete?"

Wyheree thought a moment to that question, and answered with a nod.

"I did, before I returned."

"I thought I was complete.. It turns out I am not. Yet, I am desperate to become so."

"What makes you feel incomplete? And is there any way I may help you?

"I feel.. I feel like there are pieces of me out there. Actually, I know there are. And it was made apparent more than ever two days past."

"Pieces of you - within others? What happened?

"Not in a literal sense, more like an emotional one."

Brian's blues settled upon Wyheree's silvers a moment, a thought expression took hold.

"Wyheree, did you feel anything from me? Be honest.. It would have been two days ago, early morning. Or did you feel any disturbance?"

Wyheree closed her eyes a moment, as she recalled the morning, the details coming back to her.

"I felt something - ripple. Something like an energy wave - but nothing I could pinpoint."

"It's because I didn't have it on... Do you recall, or know of Renna?"

"I have heard you mention her name, but that is about all I know."

Brian nodded in reply a moment, a soft sigh escaped his lips as he truly did not wish to go into details or specifics, in regards to Ren or their past, of what was said upon her return, instead he stuck with what he could get across.

"She is a literal force to be reckoned with. She makes Lucy look tame by comparison. All of the destructive nature of Lucy with no remorse whatever. And she has returned."

"What is happening?" Wyheree then blinked a moment, as it sunk in more so and asked."She is - here?

"Yes, she is."

"What does that mean - and what must be done?"

"Nothing must be done, whatever happens, you need to stay away. I mean it, she makes Lucy look like a literal annoyance."

Wyheree closed her eyes and thought more on it, considering what she had seen of Lucy, she knew how serious his words were. A soft sigh escaped her lips.

"It will be difficult, but I will do as you say.

"I do not want anyone harmed. especially any of you."

"Would she come at any of us directly?

"I am not going to oppose her by any means, and I know how hard that feels.. But I cannot beat her."

"Could I?

"No she will not, but I know you, and I know Icer. You each will want to assist, and I do not blame you. But please, this time. Do not."

"You know me well, brother mine. It will be very, very difficult to stay away - but I will because you wish it.

"Wyheree, I would not know if you could beat her and I would not want to gamble on it."

"I understand."

"I do not know what she plans, but I know she tried to attack Braxeus already. I just do not want any of you swept into this or harmed.."

"She attacked Kairee's friend?"

"That is what Kairee told me. Also.. I have decided not to take Kairee's oath. I will not become her knight."

"Good, but - this is what you warned me of with her I fear."

"Warned you? You mean when you asked for her assistance?"

Wyheree shook her head in response and whispered in reply.

"When I promised her mine."

"I trust Kairee, Wyheree.. I truly do. Do not get me wrong. I will respect the agreement she and I made when I asked her assistance to save Charlotte's life. But I will not swear an oath, not to her.. Not to anyone, never again."

"You need no more bindings."

"That is what I mean by pieces.. You understand. I knew if anyone would, it would be you."

"I felt so many pulling you. It is why I never wanted to add to your burdens.

"You are and have never been a burden. If anything it has been the opposite, as you strengthened me. I allowed myself to be pulled. Now I need to collect my pieces back."

"Yes you do. Is there any way I may help?

"I love you Wyheree, and good or bad whatever comes, just know that I mean it. And no I am not being dramatic or anything, I am just wanting to make sure you know."

Reaching into the neck of his shirt, Brian produced a familiar charm and slipped it from his head.

"I want you to accept this once more, please. I have a fear that I may become the burden for a time, possibly while I am away and I cannot have you feeling that. I am scared, Wyheree. Scared like I have never been before. About Ren, about my journey, about a few things. I can't have that felt by you, I wont bind you the way I let myself be bound to
others."

"We have always been bonded."

"We have, and that is true. But I don't want you to see me that way. Please. Not that way."

"I do not - I see you as my brother."

"And you are my sister, just as close to me as Jewell if not closer. I am not cutting ties with you whatsoever. I will return to you all."

Wyheree looked to Brian once more, her eyes misted with tears of silver as she nodded in understanding.

"I know. And I understand why you need to do this. But I will worry."

"Thank you."

Brian offered a warm smile to Wyheree once more, his hand lifted and gently set aside the tears. Wyheree looked to Brian, yet again and spoke. Her voice but a whisper on the passing breeze.

"I will keep it safe for you."

"I love you, Wyheree. So much. You are an inspiration to me on so many levels. In two days, I leave. Please look in on Jen for me from time to time."

"I love you as well Brian. And I will keep watch over Jen and keep her company."

"Thanks."

Brian offered another smile, and pondered to words that were spoken to him just the other night in this same area.

"Maybe when I get back I wont be a man with a million wives."

"Perhaps only one?

"Only one....?"

"I like the sound of that, more than you know."

With a faint smile Wyheree, finally took her charm in her hand.

"It's getting late. You best be off to James and I have to pack and see to some arrangements."

"Yes - I should head back.

Wyheree twined the cord of the charm about her wrist and then gave Brian a tight hug. "Please be safe.

"I will being you something back from Appleburg."

Brian returned the tight embrace and offered a kiss to Wyheree's cheek.

"You are my Ice Queen, how could I refuse such a request from one as you."

A faint smile was once more offered by Wyheree, and met with a warm smile from Brian as he backed away a bit.

"I will come back, so no long faces."

"When you return - I will have your charm for you."

Brian nodded to her once more and quietly turned, and headed towards home. Suddenly a trail of glittering crystal appeared about him, as he walked. He turned in amazement, and smile to Wyheree.

"Until I see you again."

"I still have two days, but I feel the same... See ya soon."

Wyheree smiled and then disappeared in a swirl of ice and mist, as Brian continued on his way. Brian turned, and watched a moment longer and then shifted his gaze heavenward once more. He had a great deal to do in two days time, and during all of that he wanted to make sure he spent as much time with his beloved as possible. His thoughts shifted to what was said from both Renna and Kairee, and what would possibly become of this journey, and what would transpire upon his return.

Still through all of this, he felt like he was on the right track, and the pieces would somehow fall into place. He had a habit of always landing on his feet, no matter how bad it seemed. This time he intended to push that to the envelope one way or the other. He smiled to himself and hummed a song recently heard, and was soon enveloped in the darkness.
