"He's somewhere behind me, I got lost. We should go back to find him." Tempi turned around, and listened for the sound of a puffadore. She caught it, a faint sound. "This way!" Tempi ran, beelining straight towards Hyperion.

Hyperion trotted through the woods. "Where could they be?" He barked right before he fell into a sink hole. He tumbled over and over in the hole his white coat getting covered in mud. He came to rest under the earth, his left front leg aching with pain. Not good...he was dizzy, most likely due to a blow to the head. His eyes closed slowly, maybe a nap first then he could find the others.

"Tempi wait!" Eos cried grabbing her tail in his mouth to stop her. "We need to stick together. Its safer that way." Hekate didn't follow, instead she sat next to the Ny'vene whom began to stir.
"You two go ahead I'll wait out here."

"Quick! The prince's in trouble!" Tempi yelped, racing off in the direction with the lighira on her heels. "We can't afford to waste time! He's hurt!" Without a sound, the puffadore zipped through the forest, following her senses to where the prince lay, in the sinkhole.

~Felicity~
Feli observed the mage from her spot up in the tree. She could sense the amount of power coming from Hekate, but not so much that it matched her own. Amused, Feli slipped down from her tree and stood by the treeline, at the very edge of the other mage's view.

Nate emerged Quietly from the brush. He had been watching Katana before she got sent on patrol. After the queen left he padded to the waters edge he could see where Katanas small paws had made a print in the soft moist clay of the Bank, and with a soft smile placed his paw next to her print hardening the clay around both of the prints. He nuzzled the hard clay prints out of the bank and placed the slab in his bag. "Well today's the Day" Nate said looking at the water "I'm finally going to ask her.." He looked closely at his reflection trying to fix his scruffy hair.


Katana finally made it back to the crater. " I wonder if Nate has made it to the Hide out yet?" She said as she jumped down the crater wall avoiding the stairs. She finally jumped off the wall landing firmly in the market square. Hatchlings playing tag raced around her feet and the shop merchants each greated her. She made her way to Mantio's booth, and older lupora who dabbled in trinkets and jewelry. "Hey Mantio! I got a few Gems for you today!" She says placing three gems on the counter. " Hello there Our young Princess, and I hear that you have plans with a certain some one today?" He said raising his eyebrows. Katana blushed "Yeah just keep it quiet okay!" She whispered. With a smile Mantio pulled out a copper chained necklace with a red and yellow stone that sparkled in the light. " I believe this is what you wanted?" Katana giggled and smiled widely " Yes Sir that's perfect!!" She placed the necklace in her bag and raced down to the river at their normal crossing place.

After Katana returned from patrol Blue raced up the stairs to the surface. At times like this when the other countries were at war she is not alowed to leave the castle, but being the Warrior she is she needed to get out of the castle...especially today. She flattened her ears and padded across the dusty surfaces to a large forest of cacti, taking her sword in her mouth she slashed at the green prickly plants each strike making a clean cut. Almost an hour had passed and she put her sword on her back panting her fur studied with spines from her unfortunate victims. She cringed as she Begain to pull out the spines.( I should have been more careful.) she thought to herself.



Katana swayed her tail as she bounced across the slick stones that dotted a path across the river.
"Hey there Princess" Nate said in a almost cocky tone completed with a friendly smirk. " Hello there my Fire breathing Dragon" Katana smiled running her tail down his side playfully. Nate blushed as he watched her leap up the rock ledge to the cavern. " Well come on Lover Boy....." Katana called down to a daydreaming Nate " Yes M'Lady!" He said following her up to cave when she reached the entrance Katan stood still shocked at what she saw the cave was lit by small lanterns and decorated with flowers of every shade of red and pink, and dotted with purple and blue. Nate shyly entered " You like it?..." He asked flattening his ears Katana didn't respond still captivated " Yeah I guess I want a little over board I can clear it out " Nate said rambling as he grabbed a picnic basket " No no Nate it's Beautiful!....... Thank you" he put down the picnic basket and tilted his head blushing a bit " really?"

"What do we have here? Another helpless soul? Good just the thing I was looking for." The Bulbori snickered dragging Hyperion deeper into the cave. "Anguished! I brought us a toy to play with!" Red said with a singing tone. The Fealora cursed under her breath before turning to see the Bulbori dragging the puffadore to their lair.
"Red I just got cleaned up, can't it wait?" Soul complained stepping forward her hooves clicking as she did.
"Wait?! Of course not! Can't you see?! This is the prince! They'll be looking for him, we don't want to lose our chance do we?" Red growled sitting on the puffadore claws raking his white fur.
"Royalty? But Red, we could get into a lot of trouble for that!" Soul protested only to get a beastly look in response. She backed away a bit. "Wh-what if we used one of your spells on him? The one were they cook alive only we make it last a lot longer than the others?"
"No, I have a better idea in mind..." The rabbit laughed before setting off to work.

Hyperion woke sometime later his head throbbing along with his leg. What had happened? He had no clue. Now he was laying above ground, had he not been below it just moments before? Why did he feel so strange? Slowly he drug himself to his feet looking about. Was that blood next to him?! And fur?! What was going on?! A fire burned inside him, the taste of copper stung his mouth as he licked his lips. A vulnyx lay bead next to him, it's body torn and tathered with a single bite to the neck. A litter of half dead kits lay next to it. Had-had he done that?!! What had he done?! There was no way that he could become king now, not with his coat stained the way it was. The puffadore shook with fear as he sat next to one of the dying kits. A gargling sound came from its mouth as it struggled to breath. Gentle paws picked it up and wiped the blood away, though harsh hatred filled him. He had ended their lives before they had even started...save for this one. She cuddled his fur unaware of the danger she was against. Perhaps this is what he needed to restart...the fire only grew hotter in him though as he looked down at her. An urge to kill swept over him as he watched her tiny paws grip at his fur, thinking he was her savor. She could not be any more wrong. His jaws opened around her ready to end it all just as he heard the footsteps approach. Hyperion snapped out of it then when Eos emerged from the brush.

Again she could see movement off to her side. Quickly she turned to see what it was. It looked to be a fairy those those were just in myths, right? Hekate stood growling. "Who goes there?"

"Hyperion! Eos! Be careful! I sense immortals around here!" Tempi panted, emerging from the bushes from behind Eos. She glanced at Hyperion and startled, seeing the thick coat of blood around him. "Hyperion! What have you done!" She looked at the dead vulynxes and her eyes widened in realization. "Eos, get away from him. I've heard stories about how the immortal Red would cast a spell to make some people have extreme bloodlust for moments. Hyperion is now dangerous, what do we do?"

~Felicity~
Feli let out a soft laugh, and spoke in falsetto. "I am here, young mage." Feli quickly cast a masking spell, incase the mage was to do a sweep spell. "I hear you need help, is that true? A murderous Ny'vene, a sick queen, and a gone mad prince?" Feli chuckled. She stepped forwards, out into the light. She was still wearing her cloak, so Hekate wouldn't see her. "What do you say, Hekate?" Feli knew the mage would be surprised she knew her name. "Do you need my help?"

"How am I suppose to know! I'm just as confused as you are!" Eos growled stepping forward and taking Hyperion in his maw. "We are headed home before anything else happens!" Hyperion growled at him, biting into his fur until he let go.
"Go you fools! Before i kill you as well!" With that his eyes changed colors and he bit into the kit sitting next to him. It's cries filled the air as he shook it about.
"Hyperion!!" Eos yelled slapping the puffadore with a mighty paw sending him flying. Hyperion groaned in pain before slowly getting to his feet teeth bared. With a savage bark he attacked Eos. the lion cried out dancing about trying to free himself from the puffadore's grip. "Let go!" The lion yelled slamming the puff into a tree releasing his grip. Hyperion wimpered curling into a ball and passing out.

"You use my own name against me? How cute." Hekate laughed. "As a matter we came here to find you though I'm not sure where the others went...."

"Eos, we need to find the Seasons or anybody from the Light elements to help Hyperion. Or, we have to get Hyperion to Felicity. I am sure she can help. Come on!" Tempi gently nocked Hyperion unconscious, telling the lighira to hurry up and bring Hyperion back to where Hekate was waiting.

~Felicity~
"Be careful what you say, mage. The world is a cruel place when it becomes laughter at the truest words." Feli turned, and circled the mage slowly. "Many birds do not notice the frost on their wings before it is too late." She chuckled. "I shall wait then, until your little friends come back. Then, I shall see what I can do for your queen." Feli turned to fix Hekate with a hard stare. "By the way, your little prince friend has gone mad." With that, Feli vanished up a tree.

(Ah! I wasn't pinged)
Gretiem looked off the edge of the crystals, watching the forest fade into the distance. He watched Oiter come and go, then saw the capitol coming and going.
