"Stropharia. What's yours?"
___________
"Fine, I'll get you a blanket... later.... in the meanwhile....." His hand, now off her throat, slowly moved down her back, as he kissed her for the first time. She had definitely approached him at the wrong time, as his eyesight was still pretty good in the dark.
________________________
"Well don't just stand there!" Festus yelled to Titus, as he picked up on of the larger frames, sending it crashing through the center of the mass.
"Seraleena... may I call you Strophie?" She fluttered down to the ground and stood on her feet.
______________
Shera lay there trembling, she did not want this. She shortly pulled her head to the side away from his kiss, with another tear falling from the corner of her eye. She inhaled a quivering breath as feelings of fear, anticipation, and the response to his touch were effecting her.
_____________
"Aba ahuhu." He white knuckled his sword. The frame now became a part of the creature and it shifted again. The broken glass slowly was being sucked into it. He held his sword up as other stallions were starting to surround it.
"Sooo you fool Festus, think you can threaten me with that sword? I have more on you than you think, for instance your boy. So sad you can't do anything to warn him now. But if you cough up that sword I will make you a deal.. Valdan comes back to my loyalty, along with all of you... your family will be safe that way there will be no need to try and hide from me.... that is my only offer. The herd should be together.... and if not my fist promise to you will be Auran's head shipped in a box to your tent. Among other things."
"Sure." The cat jumped back to the ground in two leaps.
___________
He felt her trembling, and didn't seem to respond with anything more than another kiss, after wiping away her tears with a paw.
________________
He growled. "You dare threaten my family.... and your death will be my only promise to you." He lunged for the mirrors, taking out as many as he could in each strike.
"I love your fur, it is so pretty Strophie." She gracefully sat don with her legs crossed, placing her hands on the ground.
_______________
Shera gently grabbed his hand with hers, still frightened, and she would flinch when his hand met a spot where she had been kicked. She closed her eyes and felt guilt but she whispered. "Okay......."
_______________
The whole thing then shattered sending glass everywhere as his sword had managed to break the enchantment.
Titus hand his arms over his face then started ripping his shirt of after it settled. "Freaking Ouch!" He shirt was full of shards. The same with nearby stallions. Festus seemed somehow protected from it.
Hellaina passed out after that. "Momma!?" Calliope shook her. She got up and ran out looking for help.
"Thank you. We make it a point to keep well groomed." She echoed Agates earlier comment. She sat a few feet away, still very curious, but unsure about this Khol.
______________________
Auran woke up at his usual time, around dawn. In no hurry, he got dressed and started cleaning off his gear from last night's hunt.
_____________________________________
"You okay?" -.^ He sheathed the sword now that all the mirrors there had been dealt with and shook out his feathers a bit.
"I have observed your grooming process." She smiled. "So, what do you do?" She rested her head on her fists.
________________________
Shera grabbed a blanket after he got up and covered herself after a good stretch. She didn't get enough sleep, and the mornings were too cold. She braved it before but wasn't in the mood to do so today. She lay there watching him clean the gear.
_______________________
"No I am not okay.. that was a bit high on the freak meter." Titus growled angrily shaking out his clothes. "I am going with you to get this done quickly."
Calliope was lost. "Festus!?" She panted looking around frantically.
"Whoah there filly." A very young stallion caught her arm. "Who are you looking for?"
"My stallion." She huffed, keeping her eyes away. "Please let go I am in a hurry."
"Calm down calm down." He pulled her against him and ran his hand down her back. "You have a good build. are you promised yet?"
Calliope shuddered and tucked her haunches, her fear trying to conquer, but she was not caving, her mother was first on her mind. "Let go!" She yanked away.
He kept his grip. "Let me look you over." He checked her legs next.
"Stop!" She kicked his hand off and broke free then she bolted. "Festus!?" She didn't slow down.
The Stallion rolled his eyes and followed after, but he wasn't going to run. "Come back.. I will help you find him." He snorted.
Calliope took a turn and hid. Her heart racing. She panted out of breath.
"We harvest the many foods around here, then send them to the underground warehouses for trading or feed." She blinked. "What are you doing here?"

He got up after a while, and without bothering with breakfast, left. Only this time to trade for some clothes for her along with a weapon for her training.

"Okay. Thank you." He headed back for the ship, wanting to report to Valdan and check on Helaina.
