Savannah was honestly completely caught off guard from how emotional the woman was. It was something Savannah tended to stay away from, something that made her uncomfortable. Just like this instance. A few of the things she said, Savannah did not agree with, but she did not say a thing against the water Alpha. She merely smiled looking down at the woman. Making her frame seem more inviting and welcoming. Suddenly though, she felt something... odd. Then the mention of her sister. Had this woman just looked into her past? Without any sort of warning or hr permission? There was no way she would have mentioned Tayla otherwise. Savannah was struck back. Her eyes changed, not angry, but not warm like they just had been. How dare this woman even think to look into her past. She is an alpha... And Notcis sees something in her.. Savannah told herself. Forcing her to bite her tongue. Literally.

"Thank you Miss Corventina.." don't say it, don't say it.. Savannah ordered herself. Snow walked in a second later. Stepping to the side of Corventina. "I should not keep you any longer. We may speak again later. For now you should rest. Good bye for now Miss Corventina. Get well soon. I don't know what 'm going to do to keep Noctis busy from stalking outside of you room." Savannah said to the water alpha.

"I'll watch over the clan as you are healed Corventina. You have nothing to worry about." Oberon said to her wish a smile as the earth tribe warrior began to leave. He headed out also. Closing the door being her and snow to allow them privacy. He peered down the hall to see the blond earth warrior rubbing her temples as she turned the corner out of his sight.

Oberon went on to oversee a few of the water tribe members. Being sure the healers were not becoming too tired. He even helped to stabilize a few of the warriors himself.

----

Savannah left the hospital and went for her next stop. The jails. The jail was actually a one room shack. Underground was where the cells were held. She entered the jail. It was dark. Only lit by torches on the walls. There were a few guards stationed in front of on of the cells. Inside sat a man with a white trench coat and black pants. His hair was on the darker side, and his skin was darker. Or maybe it was the lack of light. "I'm going to be quick about this. We can go the painful way, or the less painful way." Savannah rose her hand up. Summoning a golem right inside of the man's cage. "Who sent you, and why?"

It was silent for a moment before the man finally spoke. His voice low, almost vibrating as he spoke. "Are you afraid of anything Savannah? Psychophobia, Cibophobia, Iophobia"

Savannah felt as if she had a ton of water wash over her mid. Her walls closed, any voice of the earth clan was gone. Her connection broken. Seeing your expression, I see my experiment worked.

What? Savannah asked the unknown voice.

You are under my control. Now, tell the guards to leave.

"I need you two to scout outside." Savannah found herself telling the guards. She had no control over her her words. The guards looked at eachother before walking out of the small prison. The man in the cell stood up. Walking up to the stone bars.

"Amazing." He said, looking at Savannah. Her eyes narrowed at the man as she backed up. "I never thought my test would work. This is truly amazing." He spoke softly. Open the bars, open an underground passage and allow me out. He ordered within her mind. A smirk on his face. Savannah fought against her body as the cell bars slid open. Behind her was a passage. An emergency hidden passage in case. The door to that slid opened. Revealing the outside world to the imposture.

Before I leave, I wanted to tell you. You are cut off from your pack and anyone else who tries to enter you mind. You are mine to control. You have but one mission, to kill the earth Alpha. All this I am telling you, you will not be allowed to tell anyone else. And with that the man turned and ran down the path. She closed the door behind him, completely in shock. She was brainwashed.

Slowly Savannah made her way out of the prison. Before her face his daylight, she appeared to have scene a ghost. Although it changed as she stepped out. Blinking a few times as she adjusted to the bright light. She began to head towards the soon to be water tribe homes. Watching as the walls were moved and raised.

Coventina knew that Tayla was a sore subject, but the woman also felt those words had needed to be said. Nodding to Savannah, she smiled. "Alright, thank you Savannah. Be safe." she said and then looked to Oberon and nodded. When he left she looked up to her healer. "How soon until Sky is rested enough?" she asked suddenly, and the healer looked at her shocked. "I am not sure alpha." she said and then began to healing. "I need him to look after something for me." she said softly before closing her eyes and allowing herself to be healed. Sighing heavily in releaf, she thanked Snow before sitting up. She would need to get to a home and sleep, but that didn't mean she couldn't do that now. But she would wait a few minutes so Snow wouldn't see her do so.

Ocean watched as Demi led Pathose back into the room, and seeing her speak to his son in such a way warmed his heart. Just seeing that look on his son's face made him want to bear hug both children and never let them go. Pathose was surprised as Demi took his hand and led him away. Looking to his father, he was about to ask when his sister spoke again. Surprised to hear the words come out of her mouth, he shot his father a worried look. He hadn't wanted his sister to know why he harbored hatred for the alphas... Why he was so passionate about giving hybrids a second chance. Hearing her next words, were surprising. But the surprise melted away to care as he cupped her cheek and kissed her forehead. "Demi... Its alright..." he breathed, understanding her words. She had been there when he had attempted for peace, and she would have stopped them had she known. "I wouldn't have it any other way..." he said soothingly, and ran his free hand through her hair. "Had you tried to protect me, they would have killed us both... It was better for you to forget about the moment then, and not bring yourself into the light when surrounded by people who hate hybrids." he said and then turned to look at his father. "I would willing bear any pain to keep my family safe." he added lovingly and then kissed her knuckles like he used to. "You're too precious to loose again my sister, the past is nothing that can be changed. I am just happy you are here now."

Watching Savannah go, Noctis merely stared after her. What had Tayla left with her? What knowledge did she have that she'd sworn to keep from him? The Earth alpha stood, growling. He was about to go after the woman when he saw movement out of the corner of his eye.

The Wind clan had arrived. He went to meet them, looking unhappy at best. He was blissfully unaware of Savannah's troubles - otherwise, he might have noticed her disappearance.
-

Navi led her pack over the fields at a swift pace. The Wind wolves were known for their speed - they were just as their element: swift and agile. By the time the gather Earth and Water packs came into view, Navi's white wolf form was breathing heavily. They'd made it.

"I will speak with the alpha," she announced to her relatively small pack. Looking to her closest warriors, she nodded. "Once we have permission, we can set up our tents once more."

The wolf moved forward, greeted by a few Earth warriors. Noctis himself stepped forward, his maroon eyes narrowed. "I don't suppose you want to camp here, do you?"

Navi nodded once, her form shifting to that of a woman. Her dark skin and pale eyes were drastic differences, but her temperament was smooth as she confronted the anger of the other alpha. "I wish to offer you my tribe's aid in return for shelter amongst your pack."

"Everyone else is doing it!" Noctis said with a growl. Then, he shook his head. "Of . . . course. Just watch where you step, and what you say." The Earth alpha calmed, then, and offered kinder words to direct Navi's people. It would be a stretch to hunt for so many people!

Demi looked at her brother. She had caught the thoughts he had about their father telling her about the times he was tortured just to gain peace for his clan. It pained him to have her know all the trouble he had gone through. It meant that she knew his exact reasons for hating the Alphas of all the tribes and why it was so much more important to get peace for them. A quick glance towards her father told her that he too was never going to let her be lost ever again.

"I'm sorry to have dragged you away. Your probably needed elsewhere by the others. I will stay with father while you work with them." She said to her brother. Quite frankly, it was the full truth. She didn't want to take him away from his work with all the refugees. As she looked around, she couldn't understand how there could be so many of them. It was probably due to the fact that she still had the same mind set as she always had when from being an earth warrior. They never thought things were as bad as they actually were. Then again, she had never known that she was a half breed, or that there even were half breeds that were being prosecuted. To tell the truth, she didn't know anything outside of the nomadic life of the Earth pack.

"Papa, I'm going to go outside for a little bit of fresh air. Being inside these walls is a bit hard to bear. I want to go see the trees." With that, she looked away from both of them and started to head through the crowd and down some stairs, going the opposite way the crowds were going. It didn't matter if her father and brother followed her. She needed to be outside.

Something rang in her ears. It was as if she were getting another flashback, but that wasnt the case. When she had woken up and everything had been so confusing about her brother and father, a familiar voice had entered her mind, letting all of the earth pack know about the water pack's stay in their fortressed camp. Maybe if she used her own telepathic abilities and the connection her Alpha made before to make contact with all of the Earth pack, she could pinpoint him and tell him that she was at least still alive. Outside the walls of the castle, she found the edge of the trees. Many of the vengeance warriors guarded the tree line with their lives as it would seem. That probably meant that they were not going to allow anyone to go outside of the castle lines. Instead of directly disobeying that notion, she decided she would go around the grounds and see if there was some sort of garden she could just sit in to focus. Her bare feet in the grass felt oh so much more familiar than the stone ground beneath her feet when she was inside.

Demi made slow easy strides around the grounds until she found exactly what she was looking for. There was a small maze garden, from what she could tell, that was set up around the side of the grounds. Feeling the Earth around her, she easily made her way through the garden and into the middle of this labyrinth where there seemed to be a well. The feeling of this earth around her made her homesick, but the water that was inside the well also seemed to be calling out to her. Instead of giving in, she sat on the grass close to the well and started to meditate.

The mediation helped her to focus as she called out to her alpha. As soon as she felt that the connection was made, she started to speak through her mind. It had taken a little while to get the hang of reaching out to something. Especially, something as far away as he is. Sir. Its Demicora. She said through this ambient connection she was using the earth for. Her voice probably got through to her alpha as a sort of low volumed whisper or maybe even more. She couldn't tell due to how weak the connection was, but at least there was a connection. I heard your voice and decided to try to contact you as soon as I could make a connection. Through this whole process, she couldn't help but feel as though she were betraying some deep voice inside her that told her not to try to contact him, but she couldn't help it.

All of this situation was just too much for her. Inside the castle, yes she remember many things and there were probably still more to come, but it wasn't the life she was use to. The battle between trying to remember her family and staying loyal to her clan was just too hard to fight. She couldn't pick a side. Being in this place was forcing her hand into trying to believe everything her brother had been saying, but the fact that she had been forced to come here made it so hard to trust them. Especially, when that force was used in the way of darkness and nightmarish creatures and dreams. There was no way to know which side she should choose without hearing from the other side of whether or not she was still wanted by the Earth pack.

(Another little plot twist for ya ^.^ couldnt help myself)

Lucien had gathered the warriors up to begin the great move. He rolled his own tent up, stuffing it on his back. A few of the children ate the last bit of food he had left. But honestly it was not much. Within a few hours they started to migrate towards the earth clan. Lucien stayed along the sides. Protecting the citizens from any forest harm. Once they made it to the outskirts, Navi spoke with the earth clan alpha. Gaining his permission. Which at first Lucien though was strange. The earth clan was not known for their hospitality. He looked at their little village. Quiet amazed. They had several hundred houses, and walls so thick and so high. He felt claustrophobic at first. But soon looked up to the sky. Seeing how opened it was. A certain sense of safety washed over him. Earth clan members began to move the walls. First sinking them into the ground as if nothing had been there. Then moving them further. Around the entire Wind clan. Giving them a large area to set up. He was surprised how quickly the walls could be moved. He also noticed no one warrior was doing all the work. They were witching off. It was no wonder the earth clan was able to move so quickly from one place to the next.

---

Savannah worked with a few of the citizens and warriors to move the walls. Once that was done she had a piece of paper with the map of the earth village on it. Everyone was pitching in to help. including children. The map was something on of the citizens, a mapmaker, had drawn up over the week. Savannah tried to reach out to Notcis, telling him of the plans she and the mapmaker planned out, but was met with a wave of pain threw her mind. Instead the small group of about thirty began to build homes for the water clan. They would not be anything special, except for Corventina's home. It was modeled similar to Notcis's. Well build and strong. Suddenly she received word the wind clan had come, and the walls had already been moved. Savannah thanked the young warrior before moving inside of Corventina's home. Making a few things of furniture. Everything would need furs of coarse, but the outline was there. In a time of about two hours, the entire water clan sector was finished. Organized within the walls of the earth clan. The group went their separate ways for the time being to find some lunch.

---

"Cora?"

Noctis tilted his head, moving away from the other pack members as he tried to focus on the quiet whisper. His fingers pressed to his head as though he were really concentrating. He stepped aside, keeping out of the way as Wind back began to settle in.

"Where the hell are you? It's been hours since anyone's seen you!" He would know: he'd asked. As the Earth alpha "spoke" to the woman, he felt his heart fall. "I was beginning to get worried."
-

As Noctis stepped aside, Navi directed her own pack to the blank field left for their tents. The Wind alpha had asked for no stone or earth buildings - they were too confining for her kin.

As she helped set up her own dwelling, her pale eyes scanned over the area. So far, three packs lived in the same place. Earth had, surprisingly, allowed Wind and Water to stay within their borders. The clans were meeting together.

"Lucien," the alpha's pupil-less eyes flickered to the warrior as he passed by. "Please ensure that no fights break out. We don't have the allowance of causing trouble." It was obvious that Noctis was wary of having so many people with his pack. They detested company, and yet there were so many people here!

Morgana was walking around the outside of her cavernous home, surveying the area. Making sure that the security was as tight as ever. People lived behind the walls of the palace, and it was amongst her many duties to make sure no harm came to them. Planning to clear her mind, she walked around her garden, stopping to smell the flowers every once in a while. Stopping abruptly, Morgana saw Demi. 'What is she doing out here all by herself?! She should be spending time with her father!',she thought to herself. Approaching the girl, Morgana asked,"What are you doing out here all by yourself Demicora? Did Pathose want you to see the landscape?"


---------- Post added 11-06-2012 at 06:02 PM ----------

Jazereth accepted the bandages from him and put them back on slowly. Thinking carefully, she tried to put the words together in her head on how to describe her powers. Opening her mouth to speak, Jazerth felt a chill crawl down her spine. "All of the packs have come together. This isn't good, somehow I just know that we're playing into their hands!",she muttered. "I'll tell you in a moment.",she said to Landon. Putting her lips together, Jazereth whistled a clear tuneless call into the wind. In mere moments, a hawk with black feathers landed on her wrist. "Techain",she said gently."Please carry a message to my people. Tell them to take down our camp and move to the Earth clan's territory. I will meet them there." With a loud ear piercing scream, the bird took off towards the Fire Clan. Turning back to Landon, Jazereth said,"We have an hour at the most." Shifting slightly, she began to speak once more. "I can bind animals to my will and communicate to them through my mind. But most everyone can do that. So far I can call down lightning and I can make weapons appear before me by just picturing them in my mind. Honestly that's it so far.",she said, stressing the word far. "But you see, I haven't even started evolving yet, this is the weakest stage. The devil had told me that I could access limitless power, but I doubt his theory. He is the devil after all.",she said with a sly smile. Turning her face away from him, Jazereth said in a dead serious tone,"I honestly don't know how much longer I'll make it." Taking a shaky breath, she looked at him once more. But this time there was water appearing in her eyes. "I've never said this before to anyone, but........ It scares me to death. I try so hard to look emotionless but it's only a matter of time before I crack. I can't stand it! What do I do?!" Realizing how foolish she must sound to him, she quickly looked away. "I am but a child. I do not deserve the honor of being an alpha."

Relief washed over the hybrids mind as she heard her leaders voice. She was able to get through to him. Being here around the earth definitely was getting the credit for this discovery. A sigh of relief came out through their mind channel. "Thank the gods! I thought i wouldn't reach you." Demi was about to answer her alpha when she heard a rustling near by. It seemed that someone was close by. Her breathing began to increase as she tried to keep her concentration on the task at hand. "Vengeance took me to their hideout.... Wait. Someones coming..." Her voice faded out as soon as her concentration was interrupted. Morgana had been the one to walk up to her and ask what she was doing out here. Did this woman know what she was doing out here and wanted her to admit it? Or was she genuinely concerned? She actually seemed genuinely concerned. Why was she so suspicious of everyone now?

"I couldn't stay in your home. It is such a beautiful place, but the stone walls made me claustrophobic. I needed to come outside for the fresh air and the landscape." Demi explained. "My brother is busy taking care of your guests. My papa, I think, is helping him. Why are you out here by yourself?.... I mean, of course its your lawn. I'm just curious."

Pathose was surprised to hear his sister's words, and then nodded. "I will come get you soon. Mother hasn't gotten to see you yet." he said and then watched as she left. Ocean looked like he wanted to go after her, but he held himself back. Looking at his father, the young alpha nodded and sighed. "I need to take care of the scouts and the new members... If you could check over the plans for the meals tonight? We are not exactly in very game friendly environment." he said softly and then stopped outside the door. "I only want half a portion. I'm not hungry." the red haired male said and then left down the halls. He was hugged by his mother as he approached her and they shared their information with eachother.

Coventina snuck out of the hospital so Snow wouldn't freak out upon her, and went to find her whole entire pack there. Howls of joy and happiness rang out from them, and soon she was laughing and hugging her warriors. The woman and children swarmed around her, happy to see she was alive. Sky slowly walked through the crowd, and seeing him, Coventina hugged him fiercely, a tear falling down her cheek. "I thought I lost you Coventina." Sky said softly and pulled away, wiping away her tear. She smiled and shook her head, "I would never leave my pack, not when I am needed. Not when I love you all." They cheered and when she told everyone to return to moving in, she knew she had to say hello to Navi. She hadn't visited with the woman in so long, that she missed the times of peace when she could.

Walking through the earth clan's settlement made her have more ideas for her own pack when they found peace once again. She wondered through, with a smile, and then spotted the open settlement of the Wind clan. She waved to the warriors she knew, and then spotting the iconic wind alpha, the pale beauty walked over. "How are you Navi?" she asked lightly, seeming as if death couldn't faze her.

Morgana, seeing Demicora's reaction to her appearence almost confirmed her suspicions. 'She does not remember my face. As I had thought. It must be hidden well.',she thought to herself. "It is my duty to protect every living thing behind those walls.",Morgana explained. "And how ironic it must be that a warrior raised in the Earth Clan, could be so uncomfortable inside walls." She now stood side by side with Demi. "It must be a sign that you belong here, not trapped by the earth itself." A serious tone now to her voice, Morgana asked,"Do you not remember me?"

Demicora tried to search her mind for any memories of Morgana as she continued the conversation with her. "Of course.... I didnt mean to sound as though you shouldn't be out here...." Morgana then started to talk about her about how she could be an Earth clan warrior and not be able to stay in stone walls. To tell the truth, she only ever stayed in a tent and even then, she would usually sleep outside it. It felt better to be around the air, especially, when it was raining. Now that she thought about it, she always insisted on being on the lake side of the camp whenever they got to it. Maybe she was part water, but that wasnt what she was trying to figure out. "I have always hated it inside of walls. They close in after a while. I guess your right. I cant exactly be only earth if walls make me feel so uncomfortable."

The question that came next, caught her by surprise. How could it be that she overlooked this one person in her search for answers about her memories. Morgana, from what they had all said earlier in the caves, had been her best friend and was now the mate of her brother. She tried so hard to get a memory back about this woman, but it just seemed so impossible. Looking at the woman before her, her face turned into an expression of regret. Looking away from her, she went towards the well. "I'm sorry. I still do not have any idea who you are. You have told me you are my friend, but I just...." With a sigh, she sat on the edge of the well and looked back at Morgana. "I just dont remember you. I'm sorry."

Jazereth spoke of the packs gathering together. Landon was silent, his features neutral. Yes, it was a bad thing for the elements as they gathered together. Vengeance wasn't kind - and they were ready to strike.

The youth's blue eyes lifted as a hawk came from the skies. He frowned a bit, tilting his head. "You can't just use the mental link?" Perhaps she was too weak in this current state. Maybe she couldn't reach that far. Perhaps the use of powers had left her without her full alpha abilities.

Listening to Jazereth, the scrapper looked particularly interested in what she had to say. Influence over animals, lightning, and psionic weapons - they were impressive feats. Landon's eyes were wide as he watched the Fire alpha.

"You're strong," he said, sounding . . . well, surprised. The scrapper bit his tongue, looking down and lowering his head a bit. That wasn't what he'd meant to blurt out to the alpha, of all people!

That was when Jazereth seemed to lose all of her bluster. The woman sounded weak, looking shaky and exhausted. Landon frowned, unsure of what to do. Her words were . . . haunting.

"I honestly don't know how much longer I'll make it."

Shifting awkwardly, Landon stared at the ground. He didn't like situations like this. In fact, he hated them. Rocking back on his heels (he was still crouched down instead of sitting), the pale youth dared a glance at Jazereth. He was startled to find tears in her eyes. She was confiding in him. That thought almost made him feel so utterly horrible, he wanted to just keel over and die.

"You have been given a strong place in the world," Landon's usually weak voice was suddenly clear as he spoke. His gaze was anything but weak. "Whether you deserve it or not." With a grim smile, the pale youth reached forward and pressed a hand to Jazereth's head. For a moment, they weren't alpha and scrapper. They were human.

"You deserve more than you think."
-

Navi nodded to one of her pack members, the wind teasing her long hair. When she heard Coventina, her white eyes immediately turned to her. "Coventina," her voice was gentle, and she bowed with her hands folded before her. "Three packs together," she said, her pupil-less eyes flickering over the packs. "I have never seen this."

Her dark features pulled into a slight smile.

"You look as though death doesn't worry you. You must be feeling stronger." Though she'd only been there for a little while, Navi had already gotten the information from the warriors. Earth spoke to Wind, who in turn informed their alpha. It had been a confusing process, but an alpha has a mind ready to receive such messages all at once.

"I heard about your spell with disaster. Shouldn't you be resting?"
-

"TOOK YOU?!"

The sheer force of Noctis' mental reply was startling, but when Demicora shut down the mind link, the Earth alpha's maroon eyes shot open. What was happening to his pack? Everyone he'd ever trusted was suddenly disappearing and being hurt, keeping secrets and keeping silent.

"Cora?!"

He couldn't reach her. Noctis huffed out a breath, looking irritated. As he reappeared to watch the Wind clan settle in, he looked distracted. Finally, he sought out the source of commotion. Howls and yips filled the air, and when Noctis finally found the source, he frowned. Coventina was walking through the encampment.

Noctis kept himself from going to her immediately. Instead, he watched as she spoke with Navi. Give them a few moments, he told himself. Let them talk.

In that moment, he sent a message to Savannah. Or, tried. Something seemed to be blurring the communication.

"Savannah, we need to organize a group. Cora has been taken by Vengeance."He suddenly seemed bothered. He couldn't imagine what Demicora was going through! What if she was hurt? What if . . . .

No. They couldn't just charge in and find the girl. They had to use every clan to their advantage, and then attack them in an orderly fashion. Or, that's what logic told him. Noctis wasn't known for his patience.

Jazereth was as surprised as Landon's own voice when he had said that she really was strong. The words he spoke were more comforting than any Jazereth had heard before. It made her feel temporarily at ease. Talking to him was so easy, and he listened, never trying to force on her his own point of views. But maybe that was just because of his status and rank. But those questioning thoughts were chased out of her mind as Landon put his hand to her head. As sensation that Jazereth had never felt before stirred within her. 'Is the feelings I have always been so eager to hide away?',she wondered. Slightly leaning into his hand, Jazereth quietly said back,"Thank you. You have no idea how much youve helped." The words seemed awkward comming from her mouth. Silently hoping that Landon had understood her feelings about the moment through the things unsaid, Jazereth's tears slowly dried and she started to look slightly better.

The connection on her end had been broken, but she heard her alpha's voice rang within her head. It forced her to wince for a second. Maybe she had used the wrong words when it came to telling him what had happened, but then again, it was the truth. She started to concentrate once more, but continued to look at Morgana as she did so. The connection was even weaker than last time, but she was able to do it either way. Sir. I'm sorry I broke off connection. I am fine. I woke up here, but not as a prisoner. They are treating me just fine. They believe me to be a halfbreed, but i am not allowed to leave.

Demicora looked down at the water in the well, feeling how it moved and how calm it was as she waited for an answer from both her alpha and her supposed best friend. Hopefully he would have a way to get her back to reality again. To tell the truth, she hated all of this confusion. At this point, the memories were to painful and all she wanted was the easy way out of this situation she had been drawn into. The problem was, what if she got back with her clan and they killed the people she had started to see in memories she had from way back before her black out. Her father who she knew she cared about now and even her brother, the clan's alpha here. She would figure out what to do one way or another.

Coventina smiled hearing Navi, and nodded towards the woman. Coventina was rather tall, but Navi was one of the tallest wolves she had ever seen. The woman nearly towered over everyone. "Yes, though it is nice to see cooperation and peace between packs." she breathed and then smiled. It was good to see her dear friend. During the time of peace Coventina had been helping plan a mobile irrigation system for the wind clan, so they could settle and make crops if they so needed. It would also help them retrieve fresh clean water more easily. Though she and Navi had met after the day of Frost. The day in which the clans had come together and fought the Dark Brotherhood. They had been young, but the event had caused them both to grow up swiftly.

"I cannot rest when our enemy is always one step ahead of us." the water alpha said smoothly, and she then closed her eyes and took in a steadying breath to make her slight dizziness pass. Opening her bright eyes, she then looked into Navi's face. "My pack needs me, and I will not let them go without my leadership anymore. This event has caused me to excersize more caution then I thought neccessary." Coventina said and then a slow frown came to her features. "We need to figure out what to do... I have a bad feeling in my bones." the pale female breathed as she looked up at the trees. Her brother... He had really mated with Jazereth's mother... He was Pathose's father... She was an aunt... It was all so hard to believe, but putting all the information together, it made sense. The alpha of the Vengeance clan had a claim to both the alpha as the fire clan and the water clan. The problem was, what was he planning to do?

Pathose was walking down the halls with his mother, talking smoothly. Bidding her farewell as she went to get something to eat, the male walked outside, and to the back. Walking into the garden, he let out a grunt of pain and fell to his knees. The grass soft to touch as he clutched at the ground with one hand, the other hold his eye. His right eye was weeping blood, and it hurt like hell. Shaking as his body convulsed from the pain, the male doubled over. This pain happened many times when he was doing too much and stressing his body too far. The pain was emense, and he hated how it made him feel weak. As the feeling began to pass, he began to calm down his breathing. It was all this alphas' faults. They had all targeted his one eye, wanting to handicap and injure him for the rest of his life. He would get them back for it, but he would wait and play his game as planned, his soldiers and people needed rest.

Landon smiled crookedly, and then withdrew his hand. Just seeing the effect he'd had on the Fire alpha was . . . enlightening. His blue eyes moved toward the woods, and he rocked back on his heels once again.

"The pack is going to get worried," he said quietly, looking to Jazereth. He was his usual scrapper self again, looking ready to dart away at the first sign of trouble. Landon shifted nervously, and gray ears popped into existence on his head. Caught between transformations, Landon's tail also appeared. With big, wolfish eyes, he gazed "up" at Jazereth after nudging her hand with his.
-

Noctis caught another snippet of conversation from Demicora, but she faded from his mind again. She was treated well, but held there against her will? The Earth alpha sighed to himself, and then tried to reach out to Savannah once again. Why hadn't she responded to him? Usually she was fairly good about it.

Perhaps she was busy getting the other packs settled in.

"Savannah?"

Maroon eyes scanned over the area as he searched for her. Noctis moved through the encampment, glancing around as he went. He thought he spotted her a few times, but it was always someone else. When he finally saw her, the male huffed out an impatient breath.

"Savannah!" He tried his best not to sound irritated that she'd ignored him, but some of his anger still slipped through. He wasn't known for keeping his temper under wraps. "Are you too busy to speak with your alpha, woman?" Noctis approached, his posture tense as he growled. In the Earth pack, it was all about showing the world who was boss.

"You are weak if you overburden yourself," Navi said, her dark lips pulling into a smile. "You always push to keep going." The pupil-less gaze lingered on Coventina's face, and a dark hand reached up to brush the woman's shoulder. In the Wind clan, it was a sign of care.

"You cannot take care of others if you wear yourself to the ground, my friend. Your pack would appreciate a leader who is strong and well-rested over a woman who is spread too thin. You aren't leaving them alone, Coventina."

There was no way she missed Coventina's dizzy spell. A frown furrowed her brow, and the tall woman looked toward the medical building. "You should rest easy. We will let our packs settle in, and then we will call you when needed."

Her white eyes flickered over to Noctis as the Earth alpha moved past them. He looked . . . flustered, to put it lightly.

"Jazereth is yet to arrive with her pack. You have time to rest."

Savannah had been just leaving the new home for Corventina. A few small details were added. Some integrate designs Savannah had asked some water tribe members about. They were on the walls and furniture. Not enough to overpower the simplicity, but enough to give it a water tribe feel to an earth home. It had take her a bit of time. Savannah was just outside the front door. Her mind was racing. Everything was too quiet. But on the outside she seemed calm and composed. Carefully running her finger along the top of the door frame to carve a detailed water emblem.

She suddenly heard her name being called, and jumped slightly at the harshness of the voice. "I-uh" 'I'm being controlled!' She wanted to scream it, but her tongue would not find the words. "I'm sorry, I never heard you." She said instead. Frustrating her mind even more. She closed her eyes a second. Working to find the words. 'I need your help...'

'you can't tell him anything love.' The voice spoke to her again. A laught pressing forward. 'Keep fighting it. I sure am loving it from this end. Everything you think, I know. Why dont you snap at him in fact.'

"There is lots of work to be done, if you have something to say, say it Noctis." Savannah took on the same tense posture. Of coarse her snapping at him was nothing out of the ordinary. Just she normally was not as tense. Unless she was truly angry.

Coventina smiled as Navi spoke to her in the wise words she always used. The calm collectedness of the Wind Alpha was refreshing. Usually calm and collected herself, the pale woman nodded in agreement. She would rest, now knowing that the Fire Clan hadn't come yet. "I did not know they hadn't arrived, I merely thought we had all gathered already and I was the one holding up the meeting." she said lightly and gave a soft chuckle. "I will go rest now Navi, thank you for coming to my aid. I am greatful." she said greatfully and bowed her head to her friend and headed towards the majority of water tribe members. She felt their mental pull and then began talking to a few warriors. She was pointed towards her personal building, and thanked the men. Walking through, she noticed Noctis and Savannah there, bickering. Knowing she should stay out of such things, she headed the other way, towards the building Sky was resting in.

(I was going to wait for Bloodrosethorns1's response, but I guess I'll reply to Pathose entering the garden)

Smelling the blood, Demicora looked at Morgana then at the entrance to the middle of the mazed garden. Her nose started to twitch as she smelled what she thought was the scent from her brother, but mixed with that of blood. "Hold that thought," she said to the woman as she ran for the entrance to the garden. The wolf had not heard anyone fighting, so how could it be that her brother was bleeding. She caught the thoughts her brother was letting out about the pain he was in and the injuries he had sustained from the tribes. His thoughts of revenge rang in her ears as she finally got to him. "Pathose. Are you alright? What happened?" She asked as she came up on her brother, still hunched over the grass. She put her hand on his back and helped him to sit up, hoping that he would be alright.

As soon as she touched him, her eyes glazed over a little as another memory decided to hit her. She and her brother were playing in the woods and a couple of the bears she had seen in the forest were hungry. They had just woken up from a very cold winter. In fact, it was the winter before the big cold that had separated all of them. They had been playing in the last bit of snow piles that were left from that winter. The bears came out of their cave to go hunting for berries and even fish. Demi and her brother had hid in a bush so they didnt get attacked. Once the two bears were gone, they started playing again. What they didnt realize was there was maybe three bear cubs watching them play and wanted to join in. Pathose and Demi, being fun loving pups themselves, let the cubs play with them. They were playing for what seemed like hours. The cubs parents saw them "attacking" their young and got defensive. They started to go after Pathose and Demi, but the two ran as fast as they could away from the scene.

The papa bear had caught up to them, while the mother stayed with the cubs. They had both stopped to rest when he reached them. Trying an intimidation factor, Pathose had tried to stop him from going after Demi first. He bit into the bear's back. The giant creature tried to force the pup off. When Pathose finally released the fur, he didn't see the paw coming straight at his stomach as the bear turned around. He got hit into a tree and stayed hunched over. The air had been knocked right out of him. Demi used her speed to tie the bear up and make him fall so she had time to get to Pathose, but didnt expect to trip over her own feet into the falling bear as he landed on her leg, spraining her ankle. She crawled over to her brother so they could huddle together as the bear got up. Their father came out of nowhere and forced the attacking bear to retreat with a series of attacks. Demi put her hand on her brother's back then also while he hunched over the grass holding his stomach.

As she looked now to her brother, he was holding onto his eye. It was the same sort of way he had when they were kids. Maybe thats what triggered the memory. He had tried to save her from the bear, but they had sort of saved each other hadn't they? Their father had come in time for the bear's next attack, yes, but he had protected her and she had protected him. Now they were in almost the same position. He had found her and all he wanted to do now was to protect her from the horrors he had endured. Was there a way that she could return the favor? All of these memories proved to be continuously confusing to her, but she now understood what was triggering them. It really was her brother and father that had triggered all the flashbacks. That didn't mean that she was entirely ok with what was going on, but at least her past was becoming.... clearer to her.

The concern in her eyes was genuine if he looked up into them. It was like that day with the bear that had just played in her mind was happening all over again. "Are you going to be alright?"

Parhose had heard hurried footsteps, and gave a soft growl, to try and keep the person away. Though the scent hit him, and his good eye widened in surprise. She was soon infront of him, looking at his blood covered hand with worry. Breathing more even, as her hands ran over him and his back, be remembered when they had the run in with the bear family. How much his body had hurt when he was scratched badly in the stomach, and his back hitting the tree. But when she had crawled over to him, and held him just like this, the pain had lessened. Even now, his blind eye was feeling better. Having his dear sister back was something that made him feel whole.

Looking up at Demicora, he reached out with his non-bloody hand and took her's in his own. "Demi, I will be fine..." he said calming, his red eyes looking into her's. Pulling his hand away from his bloody eye, it looked like he was crying blood. "I didn't want you to know..." he breathed and looked away from her face. "The previous fire alpha, left me a present... He ripped out this eye, and burnt the nerves and viens... He then reattached it crudely..." he breathed, trembling at the memory. "He blinded me, and he used it to hurt mother... She was so angry she nearly went there and killed him had father not stopped her. That's what the alpha wanted. He wanted to kill mother... And Father... Through me." he breathed and slowly wiped the blood away. "I didn't want to hate them, but every time I tried to achieve peace, they kill the messenger.... Or they send back a wolf beaten within the inch of his life... They even killed a young pup that had gotten lost..." he breathed and looked into Demi's eyes. "The pup was my daughter with Morgana... I found her courpse on a stake... Her guard's body mangled beneath her... It was from the earth clan." he said. True tears began to fall from his good eye as he spoke. "I cannot forgive them for doing such things..."

(Sorry i havent posted yet. I have had massive word block lately and I've been really busy. I will post as soon as I get home for Thanksgiving Break)

(ACK! I am so sorry. I had left my computer at school when i left for home. Here's the post)

Demicora watched as her brother's eyes widened in surprise by her touch. She knew that he was seeing the same thing she saw. She knew that he was in pain from the other memories that crossed him, just from what was going on with his eye in the first place. As she watched her brother look away and turn back to her, she listened carefully to what he had been saying. Maybe she could devise a plan that would help her brother. Her alpha had seemed genuinely concerned for her over the mental connection, but maybe she was actually suppose to help her brother. He had been trying so hard to convince her that he was her family and yet she had never really taken into consideration that he actually was. All these horrible things that had happened to him from the other clans, must have really messed with him. It wasnt like she wasn't trying to remember because there were soo many memories flowing into her head, it was just that she needed to consider everything that was going on. It was hard enough seeing all these memories for the first time.... well not for the first time, but still. To have everyone she cared for fighting against one another was even more horrifying. Even listening to how his daughter was killed made her sick.

The young woman didnt even remember that happening to a young wolf like that. She knew that the earth clan was harsh... look at the way she grew up... but she had never known them to kill an innocent child. Especially, slaughter them the way he had described. Being part of the warriors, she knew about most of the campaigns. Something as recent as this would have been one of those things she would have known about and would have never condoned, but alas, that was not her decision when it came to those matters. Maybe she was away on a hunt for food when it happened. She would never know.

"Alright. Lets just get you up and back inside," She said as she lifted her brother up and put his arm around her so she could help him walk inside. "Maybe your mother is back from her scouting."

(Sorry, I've been sick with the flu lately. Things finally started to get better today. )

Jazereth smiled as she saw Landon's. Once he had suggested that they get back, she instantly snapped back into alpha mode. (Though his cockeyed look almost made her giggle.) Having a trickle more strength after she had been resting, Jazereth slowly got up and nodded towards Landon. "Arriving like this wouldn't give the earth pack a good impression of me would it? I heal faster in wolf form, so let's get a move on!" Jolting forth, the skin practically shredded around her and disappeared seconds before she landed on all four paws. Glancing back at Landon, Jazereth staggered one back paw and arched her back to lift her muzzle to the sky. What came out was a furoscious cry. The cry bounded across the land to where she knew her pack was. It was a call that let every wolf in the world know it was hers. She was the alpha.

Pathose smiled to his sister at her words and shook his head. "Mother is home... She was eating when I left... Father was going to see her too." he added and then sighed heavily. The shaking was slowly going away as he leaned against his sister. Sighing, he knew she would need to eat herself. "Come with me and we can both get something to eat." he said hopefully and the bleeding seemed to slowly stop. "Can you still conjure some water so I could wash my face as not to scare everyone?" he asked softly. Knowing she could still possibly be able to manipulate water, which would be really helpful. But Morgana was going to pummel him if she found out that he told Demi about their daughter. It was one of the only things that could make her cry. Hopefully getting the whole family together would convince Demi that she was were she should be, with her family and safe.

Demicora looked at her brother and smiled as he talked about how his mother was home, eating and their father was with her. His shaking was going away which seemed like a good sign since it had been kind of violent when she first touched him. It was kind of nice to know that she was helping a bit. Her stomach growled at the mention of getting something to eat with her brother. How long had it been since she had had a meal before this? It must have been a while since her stomach was growling so badly at this point.

Pathose slowly came to a stop. He then said something that she thought was impossible. He wanted her to conjure some water for him. She looked at him as though she doesnt know what he was talking about, but then another memory hit her. When she was little, with her 'father,' she had started to dance a little bit and water came from the cloud that had been hanging out above them. It had started to downpour on them and her father could not explain why it had happened, or at least he didnt. She was to work on nothing but the artful forms of earth style bending. It was in her blood, her father had said.
"I uh.... I can try." She moves as though she were about to dance a little, letting go of her brother. As she moves around fluidly, her body relaxes and she can feel the calming power of water. Soon though, she stops thinking she hadnt done anything, looking down as though she were a failure. As soon as she does, a small bucket full of water splashes over Pathose's head. Once she heard the sound, she looks up at him and puts her hands over her mouth. "Sorry, sorry... I uh... I didnt even know it had worked."
