Jackdaw hurried into the woods. A good distance away from the castle, he shifted to his fey wolf form. He took off at a fast pace. He ran so hard and fast, he was unaware of the black horned fey creature that started following halfway through his run. He was too much in his head. A emotional mess, really. He slowed to get a drink from a cool stream. For his heavy panting had dried it. That’s when he had heard a twig snap. He quickly shifted to his human form and crouched low to see what it was. That's when he saw Lord Vatgkan. Jackdaw straightened and asked, "Why are you not at the castle with the other royals? "
Vatgkan chuckled darkly, "Why are you not dead? Fey wolves are supposed to be extinct. Are they not?!" He demanded.
Jackdaw swallowed hard. His parched throat, because dryer. "I know not what you mean. You are mistake." He said without conviction.
Vatgkan just smiled and started chanting a minion spell.
Jackdaw gasp as few felt his freewill slipping away. He should have been safe.....no, he'd given Dawn his protection pendant, unwittingly leaving himself vonarable. The last thing Jackdaw consciously heard was," Come to your master." To which he obeyed.

Kash frowned, "You need to leave? I must accompany you. Where are we going? " He asked curiously.

Degan stood up and said, "Wow, it must have been nice to have two homes. That's how the other half lives. " He smiled at her teasing as he walked over to get scanned for trackers.

Aeval gratefully used Dust to balance with. Her bare feet were no match for the slick spots. She murmured, " Thank you."
