He had Rayne's full attention again and the girl nodded quickly. "What did you learn?" She asked, wanting to be seen as her own person among her peers instead of only her mother's daughter. She loved hearing the stories about her mother, but she hated being compared to her and trying to live in her shadow was so hard.

Nabal reached over to stop her walking with a hand on her arm "Queen Avalon...first, that is wonderful news. That will relieve any tensions from my people if any exists, though I think most will simply be glad to be able to come out and go back as they choose. Second, once we give our word to something, we do not just leave. Our ancestors pledged to protect the king of this realm as well as they were able. WE can talk and determine what if anything is to be done between our people for the future since that king is dead and we now have our own kingdom. We accept your apology." She said then frowned a little "Racine? Isn't that the name of the king that came to my castle?"

Turoc took the leaf gently and looked at it curiously "Healing? We have special flowers that heal any wound. Some of the elders said it was our equivalent to the Tree of Life. I wonder if they would also bring immortality in this realm or simply stay healing flowers?" He said then smiled at Maxton again "Thank you for this gift"

"Not to sleep, no" Orion agreed with a chuckle "Though our body would have to stop to rest our wings. When two heads sleep is about the only time we are alone. It's kind of odd, but one thing we practice so that we can never be caught fully asleep."

Kellan caught the wayward thought as he moved to the door "Cicero is on a special mission with the elves of Earth, though Kash should be around somewhere." He told him privately then stepped out and moved to the railing.
Fay stepped into the room from the god's realm and blinked as she looked around the room to see who was there.

"Power" Rana answered and frowned like the word made a bad taste in her mouth. "It has always boiled down to power, either showing it or building it at the expense of others."
"The wolves said they had people in politics still trying to stop the building there." Ember mentioned quietly

Shaylee swam in the giant tank, round and round in useless circles while Danika napped off to one side. She wanted to start throwing herself at the walls to force a way out or something, though she figured they would have thought of that long ago.
"That he had lived his life the way he'd wanted to without expectations and I was wasting mine, trying to follow in his footsteps. " Jackdaw explained simply.

Avalon nodded slowly and admitted softly, "King Racine is my brother. You would know him only as Prince Racine. But he is now, a dual ruler of Anstropfia."
(You better hide Racine.

)

Maxton smiled and and said, "You're welcome." He then turned to Bardou with a idea, before looking back to Turac to explain. "We may be able to test that theory soon enough. We have a rite fight in the near future. The casualty of the winner's blade, could be given the flowers to see if they heal a mortal wound here. As far as the immortal part, that takes significantly longer." He said with consideration.

"That is truly fascinating. " Indigo chimed in. He couldn't imagine more then one voice in his mind or giving one's self over to another while sleeping...wait, he did that with his mate. He trusted her like no other. " So you hear their voices all the time, unless they are asleep. Do you see their dreams? I'm sorry for the interrogation I am just extremely curious." He replied honestly.
~~~
(No, because Garth, Jaxon, Kash and your Skylar are still at the mountain. We never never picked them up again. Unless you want to say they are back?)
Jaeger flushed at his slip up. But was glad Kallen had answered his question.

Xatia looked to Kellan as he joined her. " I've never track somebody without a physical tailsman." She replied mentally.
~~~
Zypher looked to the flash and was surprised to find Fey. He glanced to Anna excitedly as he stood to go greet the goddess. "Welcome back. I hope you bring good news" He stated hopefully.
Garmr looked up with wonder as she watched the new arrival.
~~~
"It won't bring the forest back." Sandor stated matter-of-factly. He frowned deeply as he looked out at the senseless destruction.
Navar hung over the back of Cadeon and Ember's seat. He smiled widely and replied, " I've heard of wolves in sheep's clothing, but I've never heard of wolves in politics. I hope they dominate the board and get that majority vote. That's the only way we'll stand a chance in saving what's left of Moonhaven."
