Path's eyes widened as the stranger revealed herself. He knew her, he remembered her scent and the evil beauty that radiated off her porcelain skin. It brought him a great sense of unease to have her standing right infront of him and the impossible feeling of fear for some reason. The others, though calm in demeanour except for Ferrum who bore his teeth at the Hydra, were all tense and ready to pounce at the slightest mis-step. 

 Her words were sly, untrustable, and her bet ominous and cold. Path wasn't ready to ponder it over when she pointed to him and the fear in his heart grew. His eyes widened and he whispered, "Edge." Before he was off, running across the barren wasteland towards their liar. To his children, to his beloved mate. His wings pushing him alobg, dust rising behind him in clouds as he skidded to a stop at the chute, literally whipping away the cover he had spent near an hour building. Jumping down the chute without hesitation, landing hard on the bottom. Everything was silent to his well trained ears and the fear in his heart grew. Dashing to their room, afraid of what he might find.

 Regnum watched Path run away, muttering 'Relin' under his breath before he turned back to the woman, crosding his arms, "Hydra, you know that we do nae partake in your perceived games. We are willing to sacrifice all we have for this earth, to undo the damage you have done. Play your games as you wish, I assure you, we are planned and prepared. You may take your leave now, Hydra and we shallst meet on the battlefield. "

 Sleipnir stood numb as his brother rushed to hurt the man. He was unsure what to do. Sure he was doing things to Daddy that only Father should do, but he didn't seem to be hostile or bad, radiating affection and love evem though Sleipnir couldn't fully agree with it. Still, it wasn't as closed off and guarded as Father's was and itwas nice in someways.

 Sleipnir grabbed Skylark's hand and squeezed reassuringly before pulling him into a hug, he whispered softly to him, "He's not gonna hurt us, but he wants Daddy." He continued to hold his brother, lifting his head as he heard Daddy wake and he felt a pang of relief. Good, Daddy was awake, he would know what to do. It was surprising, however, as Sleipnir watched Daddy kiss and comfort the stranger, even sound like how he sounded with Father. It was confusing and a little scary.

 Sleipnir was first to break away and rush to Edge's side, pulling Daddy's hand, tears brimming in his eyes, "No!Daddy can't go with you! Daddy can't leave us so you can't take Daddy!" With adrenaline rushing through him, Sleipnir kicked and punched at the stranger, his tiny fists doing nothing.
