Apollo looked up at her smiling. He was inchanted by her fairy form and nodded. "Of course... The more help the better..." he said letting go of her hand. "This war is a big one... We'll need all the help we can get." he said.

She nodded her wing starting to flap silently lifting her from the ground sightly than she instantly shrunk and flew beside Apollo. "So what are we doing. By the way I fly faster than I run even in cat form that's why I'm in fairy so if you want me to change at any moment I will."

"Alright... But we aren't going to war just yet... But I plan on buying Ebony some time." he said walking down the halls to the courtyard. He walked up to the commander and ordered scouts to be sent out and then sent a messanger to tell Ebony of the vison. "Now... I want to hear your ideas for this war." he said lightheartedly walking down the halls of the castle.

"I can't really say that I have any. I am an antiwar person for the most part it hurts the animals and plants thusfor hurting me so I try to stay away from it." Alexia replied trying not to be a let down.

Ivan jumped onto the horse he was given and kept Illusion close so that she wouldn't fall down. "yes, we should go and we really do love her." he said as he road up next to Ebony and smiled at the two of them.

"Wengotto henna, Ivan and Ebony." Tricky said and Ebony nodded smiling sadly. "Wengotto henna, Tricky." she said and looked at Ivan. "Lets go..." she whispered and spurred Starfire who reared up and took off at a gallop. Tricky raised his hand as she spurred her horse knowing too well that if they failed... He would never see his cousin again... Or ever live in peace without worry of vampiric invasion.

"Master?"Illusion asked sleepily. Liliana flew next to them.

Ivan smiled at Illusion, "it is okay, you can sleep more." he said as he raced after Ebony.

"Ivan, Illusion doesnt want to sleep. She wants to help." Liliana said as Illusion rubbed her eyes. She nodded. "Illusion no sleepy. Illusion help." Illusion said as she sat up.

Ivan nodded, "yes you can help but just stay close for now." he said as he looked at them

Illusion and Liliana nodded. Illusion played with fire.

Ebony looked back at Ivan and slowed Starfire so he could catch up. When he did she smiled at him. "If you're confused Tricky said may our trip be safe... But it means goodbye just formaly." she said knowin he would want to keep up with the language.

Ivan nodded, "okay, I was wondering about that." he saida s he smiled at Ebony. Then got a serious look on his face. "looks like we have less time then we thought." he said softly and stayed alert just incase anything happend.

Ebony nodded and looked straight ahead. They road until they couldn't barely see in front of themselves in the pit black darkness. There was no moon this night making the horses jumpy. "We should stop here..." Ebony said dismounting Starfire as they had found a rive that ran threw the smallish clearing.

Ivan nodded and jumped off his horse and tied him to a tree branch. "this will do but we all have to stay alert.' he said as eh looked around the camp one time to make sure that no one or vampire was around. Then walked aorund a second time setting up traps just incase, he didn't want anything happening to his group of friends.

Ebony set traps to knowing thy would need all the protection they could get. She began setting up her little poison dart trap and remembered how when they had first met Ivan had almost killed himself had she not caught the trap's branch. She smiled fondly at the memory and concentrated on the fighting and destroying stratagies she loved more than trying to speak to royals.

Ivan layed down on the grass when he was done and smiled up into the sky. This reminded him of when he first started to fall in love with Ebony and how he coudlnt' keep his eyes off of her for more then a few minutes.

When Ebony was done she came back and settled down next to Ivan and watched the stary sky. She smiled remembering how she had talked to Ivan about her love of the sky. And how she wished to dream. And now that she could dream again.... She didn't want it... "Ive changed... Haven't I?" she asked quietly. She knew that she had changed so much... And she wondered if she could ever be herself again.... Only worrying about her fighting skills and living life as an adventure to see the world.... But now with the weight of the world on her shoulders she didn't think shed ever be the same.

"Master? Princess? Trees say blood stealers were here." Illusion said softly as she landed on the ground on Ivan's chest

Ivan looked at Ebony and nodded, "yes, You have changed but my love for you hasn't." he said then looked at Illusion when she talked about vampires. "when where they here?" he asked and became alert just incase anyone came after them.

"Trees say early sunrise." Illusion said calmly. "He hana hahala(blood stealers harm)." She told Liliana in phayrabic. "Si hahala kahala.(They also kill.)" Liliana said. "Ivan do you have any idea what we just said?" Liliana asked.

Ebony sighed and sat up. She touched the hilt of her sword at her side. She wished she could kill right now. She wanted to vent her anger. She wanted to be the girl she ounce was. "Are they close?" she asked. Her body was tense and she kept her face clear of her emotion.

"Trees say no blood stealers now." Illusion said. She flew over and looked worriedly ar Ebony. "Princess okay?" She asked.

Ivan put a arm around Ebony and smiled at her. "nothing is near." he whispered and kissed her head. They where now always on alert and they needed to calm down.

Ebony nodded and relaxed letting her hand slip from her sword hilt. "Im fine..." she said and sighed. She hated standing still when she was angry. She then decieded she should wash in the river while she thought about things. "Im going to wash... Ill be back soon." she said and kissed Ivan quickly with no feeling really backing it up and got up walking through the trees to a secluded place to bathe.
