Celyse smiled as Ivan sat down. She looked over to Al as he spoke. She hated resting, even back home she was one to pull all nighters and never sleep. She nodded and then said "well we have the Queen of the reptiles and the King of the mammals on my side.. its the birds that was the hardest..." She paused and shivered at the memories. Letting out a small growl she punched the ground next to her leaving a small dent. She looked up and blushed. "err... I can fix that.." she said softly.

Al laughed a little bit "that is okay" he said as he walked to the back of the cave and came back with some food. He set them down and smiled at them "Ivan has made bigger dents then that in here."

Ivan looked at her when she shivered and kissed her cheek. "hey everything is going to work out fine, we are already half way threw this thing" he said as he looked at her then started to eat some food.

Celyse looked over to Al and then the dent again. Looking over at Ivan at his comment she giggled. "yea, everything is perfect" she said with a smile as she kissed his cheek back. She took a bite of the soup. "this soup really is amazing Al... I have never tasted anything like it before.." she said with a smile. It was nice to just relax again, this time, no one was hurt.

Al smiled at her and watched her eat. "well after you eat, you two can go and sleep. I am sure you will need it for the next few days if you are plaining to do what you are doing" he said as he looked at them.

Ivan looked at Al and nodded. "yeah sleep does sound good for now" he said then went back to eating the soup. It tasted very good and he could never get enough of it.

Celyse looked over to him and smiled. For the first time in a while she was not afraid to sleep. Looking to Ivan she said "only if you promise not to run off again.." she said softly. She needed him badly. She looked down at her necklace and back to him. She had made a powerful binding on the back so it could never be removed, only by her or Ivan's hands. "yea it really does.." she said quietly. She couldn't remember the last time she had a good nights sleep.

Ivan smiled at her "I promise never to run off again" he said and kissed her cheek. He was never going to leave her again for the rest of her life. He loved her so much that he had no idea how he could ever try to leave her again.

Al smiled at them "there is a bed in back for when ever you two want to go to bed." he said with a smile. He was glad that Ivan was back with celyse and that nothing was going on.

Celyse smiled and happily hugged him, kissing his cheek before pulling away. She looked to Al and said "thank you Al.. for everything.. for all your help.. I am sorry when I first came to you I was a bit.. hostile.." she said with a small giggle. She stood and looked out of the cave for a moment before running fast. She sensed an eagle coming and she didn't want it to see Al or Ivan. She flew out to meet it, far from the cave. "what can I help you with soldier?" she questioned. She was in charge of them now, she had to be commanding.

Ivan watched her go then wondered where she was going. He looked at Al wondering if he knew where she was going but he shrugged. He hoped that everything was alright and went to the enterance of the cave. He didn't see her but stayed there and waited for her to come back.

Celyse looked over at the eagle as they spoke. She made her words echo in Ivan's head so he wouldn't worry. "yes, tell Blake that I will be coming to see him tomorrow to arrange on a meeting... yes thank you.. good day to you sir.." She sighed and flew back after she was sure the eagle was long gone. She made it back into the cave and transformed back to her human self. "sorry guys.. I didn't want him to see you.. didn't know what would have happened.." she said softly.

Ivan nodded as he ran over to her. He kissed her cheek "yeah it is okay, we knew it might have been something like that" he said as he looked at her. "so it looks like your headed back to the eagles tomorrow." he said and wasn't sure if he liked that.

Al nodded "yeah that is understandable" he said as he looked at her. "but what did he want anyways?" he asked as he looked at her.

Celyse looked at him and smile. "he was just checking to make sure I hadn't sided with anyone else for the war" She sighed. "I said that the king of the mammals and the queen of birds agreed to talk to Blake and that I would talk to him to arrange it." She looked back to Ivan and then closed her eyes for a moment. "yea, I don't like the eagles either." She hugged him close for a moment before pulling away.

Ivan smiled when she hugged him and kissed her back. "just promise to be carefull when your there." he said as he looked at her. He didn't want anything to happen to her and to make sure he would followed her a little ways. "I dont want you to get hurt" he said and kissed her cheek.

Celyse looked over to him and smiled. "your the one who has to be careful.." she said seriously and softly. "I know your going to follow me and I know I can't stop you.. but you have to promise me you will be so careful.. I can't loose you.." she said pressing her face to his chest holding him close for a moment. She didn't know she could ever love someone so much in her life. She may act strong, but she was still a small girl in love an the thought of him gone.. scared her more then the war.

Ivan wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head. "dont worry I will be carefull" he said softly. "I promise nothing will happen to me" he said as he kisse dher head again. He didn't want to lose her and would always watch her. He didn't want her to get her and she never would if he watched her.

Celyse smiled and held him. "thank you" she whispered as she pulled away. He was the most important thing to her ever, she had no idea her heart could be filled so fast. He was her life. She looked back to Al with a sheepish smile. She hated looking weak in front of him.

Al smiled at them "well then now then that is over I am sending both of you off to bed. You will need it for tomorrow" he said as he gently pushed the two towards the bed in the back.

Ivan laughed a little bit "we are going Al you dont have to worry about us" he siad as he looked at his big friend.

Celyse smiled at him and looked to Al "thank you Al..." she said with a smile. She giggled and looked back to him before moving towards the bed in the back. She laid down and looked over to him smile. She felt her neck and made sure the necklace was there before closing her eyes, relaxing.

Ivan smiled and layed down next to her. She looked beautifull as always and he kissed her on the cheek. He loved her more then anyone or anything. But he still felt that deep down he would never be able to truely be with her for ever. But he was just happy to be with her now and that was what mattered now.

Celyse smiled when he lay down next to her. She pulled her arm around him and pulled him closer. Her thoughts drifted to the end of the war, would that shining blue orb come back again? Would she ever go home, see her friends and family? If she did.. would she ever see Ivan again? Could he come back with her? She finally closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Ivan smiled and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forhead. He wondered if he could be with her forever or even go see her world. He would just be happy if he could be at Celyse's side for the rest of his life. He closed his eyes and kissed her one more time before leting sleep come over him.

A few hours later Celyse woke up with a gasp. Her aura sencer was going crazy. Someone was coming. She silently and slowly left the bed and went to the front of the cave. She saw the eagles coming. She cursed under her breath and went to wake up Ivan.

Ivan woke up and looked at her "what is it?" he asked as he sat up and looked at Celyse. He hoped that nothing was wrong but he had a feeling that something was. But he had no idea what it was and made himself wake up all the way.

Celyse smiled at him sympathetically and held his hand. "the eagles are coming.. I can feel them.. they are on there way here.." she said softly. She walked into the other room to make sure Al was alright before going to the entrance.

Al was fast asleep in the other room and was alright. He looked okay and like nothing oculd wake him up at the moment.

Ivan got up and walked to the enterence. He stayed hiden in the shadows so that the eagles wouldn't see him. He didn't want to take a chance of loseing Celyse and he didn't like the eagles. He wanted to stand by Celyse but knew that could cause problems for her if he did.

Celyse looked back to Ivan and smiled to him before looking back to the sky. She transformed into her eagle and took off into the sky knowing he would be safe on the ground following close. She saw Blake and a few others "what's the status soldier?" she asked him commanding.
