"Angering the troops is not wise."

I murmer as I depart back through the waters I had came in the second time.

((sorrysorrysorry! adding the characters to the list! crazy crazy exam week at school! gahhh.))

Sym hurried across the border of the faerie land with Luna, leading the group towards the gate of the demonic world. When they arrived there, Sym turned to Luna. "It's coming fast..." She frowned, thinking again of Nalie. "How do you think she could be developing powers so soon? We don't even know if that's all she can do!" She rubbed the place where the burn had been only a short while before.

luna put her hand on syms soulder and smiled reassuringly. "i do hope she wont end up as her mother did, though, i can tell you that." she took her hand off of her and walked up to the gate greeting the demon guard. he hurried away apparently to get valentine to confirm that they were realy allowed in. luna fluttered back to sym and hugged her. "everything will hopefully be okay. we just have to wait awile..." she looked back at the women and children and sighed. they need us sym. so much. we have to do everything we can to help.

Sym snapped out of her trance and nodded as she hugged Luna back. "Yes, of course.... I just... i can fight, but i'm scared for them. I'm scared for Nalie and the other children... I want to make sure they'll be safe." Tears caught in her throught and she wondered why she was being so emotional. She gave Luna another hug and straightened up, putting on her brave face.

luna smiled at her and nodded, wiping away a stray tear. "nalie will be taken care of. we will do everything in our power to keep them safe." she patted sym's shoulder and walked up to the door, giving her wings a small rest and waited patiently for the demon henchman to come back and let them in already.

The earth shook as a large demon, finely made from stone and mud, rose from the floor and grinned, "Well if it isn't the poor little ones." Its muddy voice oozed as he reached for one, "So tastey, I haven't had one in years..." it stopped and pointed to the entrance as it glowed and opened slowly, "The master is waiting."

Finally getting to her palace Aurora stopped running and looked to her three companions. "Chenol come with me to my rooms. Boys go to the oak room, we will be there in a second." Turning away Aurora and Chenol headed to her rooms. When they got there Aurora took of her cloak, then went about changing into a pale gold tunic and deep forest green leggings. Still barefoot she joined her friend and they went to the oak room. Walking over to the head chair Aurora sat down and her three companions took the other chairs surrounding the table. When everyone was settled Aurora began to tell them her plans for the upcoming battle.

luna nodded at the demon and led her people through the gates. she held sym close and kept an eye on everyone. she wasnt surprised to hear a few of them yelp at the sight of some of the demons. she got to the entrance of valentine's place and she walked in with her crowd of fairies following. she looked around a few moments and left sym in charge to fund valentine. she walked in the room from earlier and was glad to find him without having to look everwhere.
"valentine. my women and children are at your door." she walked in greeting the others with small nodds.

Sym turned to a woman clutching her child beside her. "It's alright" she whispered. "They won't hurt you." she gave the woman what she hoped was a reassuring smile. She watched the door of the war room swing closed behind Luna, closed her eyes, and wished for it to be over.

Sym rubbed her forehead at the sound of crying babies and mothers, and then turned around to face the crowd. "Everyone! I need you to calm down, okay? I promise you, everything is going to be alright. I know you miss your fathers, husbands, and brothers. I know that. But i can assure you that we will do all we can to keep them and you safe. You will be protected here. I know you may not trust that, but i'm asking you to trust me. I know i am not your queen. But i do know her very well. She is my best friend. And i promise you all, she will keep you safe. So chins up! It will be alright." She nodded to the crowd and smiled before flying over their heads and landing in the back of the crowd, facing the demons that stood guard there. "Don't scare them any more then they already are." she said, frowning at them and putting her hands on her hips. She tried not to let their size intimidate her.

(just trying to keep it alive. >.<)

Leaning over the map Aurora concentrated hard. After a couple of hours the Queen and her guards figured out where to send everyone. "Now that we have that finished, we need to figure out where to take all the people who can't fight. Children, elders, and such." Sitting back Aurora thought for a minute. "We need to find out where the faries have taken their people." Raising her hand to her temple Aurora tried to contact Sym. Sym...it's Aurora. I need to know where Luna sent your people. The children and elders.. Massaging her temple Aurora hoped Sym heard her.

He looked up and frowned, "Right Right." Turning back to the map he frowned, "The main acess for our information routes are the waterways. Keep that in mind." he waved and the tokens appeared. than they sank into the map and he nodded, "Right, Please have these sent to each leader." He handed it to an imp and watched as it scrambled away to make copies and distribute them, "Go now. I tire of you." Striding purposfully out of the hall he rubbed his eyes and turned to Luna, "Are you coming or not? we have much to discuss."

frowning i look at the map comparing mentally the places i see on it to the places that are underwater not surprised to find that some of it had changed. "hmn," i mutter to myself " i wonder if these are still here..." idily i follow a path way that indicates an underwater passage "if so i may need to figure out how to" pauses as i search for the right word "detain and deter any one trying to use this one" sits there momentarily before turning to the weres still there. "you said something about snakes as communication as well... correct?"

Sym stopped where she was standing and closed her eyes, concentraiting.
"Sym...it's Aurora. I need to know where Luna sent your people. The children and elders.." Sym took a breath. 'Hello, Aurora. Kenora told us he could keep half of our children, elders, and women in his village... He might be able to do the same for you. As for the other half, you could house them where my people are... It's a large cave, in the mountin above the forests. If you like, i can come back to you and help you lead your people to the cave. We have it protected, but we only have rations for our people. We have plently of room, we would just need you to help with the food supplies if possible... Shall i come meet you?'

((Valentine, My characters name is valentine. Not Kenora XP Just pointing that out so it doesnt wind up causing confusion.))

Aurora smiled when Sym replied back to her. It would be greatly appreciated if you could come back. Thank you Sym. Turning to her guards she stood up. "Sym is going to come get us and show us where to go. All of you go round up all the people unable to fight and send them to the fenced in area outside." With their orders they sent out to do what their Queen told them to.

(Oops, sorry, Kenora. I'm crazy out of it at the moment. forgive me.)

Sym sent Luna a telepathic message letting her know where she was headed, put a trusted solider in charge, and then headed to Aurora's palace, taking off into the sky.
When she arrived there and found Aurora, she gave her a curtsy and then smiled. "What do you need me to do?"

Aurora smiled to Sym when she arrived. "My people are all gathering right now. I would like you to lead us to where you have your people safe. I would keep them here but I know that it is not safe. I also have plenty of food and water that we will bring."

Sym curtsied again. "Yes, of c-course. I could call more of our soliders to help with transportation, if you wish.... We all need to work together on this one, i think."

Aurora smiled again to Sym. "That would be wonderful." Sending a message to Chenol she told the guard to start getting all of the supplies ready. "If you could follow me? Will go see if all the people are ready to move." Turning around she left the room and walked down the hallway. "So where is Luna?" she asked the faerie.

Sym followed Aurora down the hallway. "Luna is underground... Discussing war statigies with the demon leader. She is also getting our people settled in there.
She sent a telepathic message to her troop. 'Guys, we're needed in the Elven land. Come meet me outside the castle, we're moving Aurora's people to the caves.'

"good then they'll be good for exploration?" more of a statement then a question i continued to study the map for a moment more before looking up. " Is it possible to meet these snakes? i would like to meet the people whom i will be working with."

As Aurora walked into the area that her people were in she looked to Sym. "Well then once we get my people safe will you take me to her?" A guard walked up to them and told the Queen that everything was ready.
