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.

"And Daddy is the princess!" Sleipnir eclaimed after his brother, looking down at Daddy. He was beautiful though it wasn't the sort of beauty in a princess. He couldn't actually place what it was, but that perhaps made Daddy even more beautiful. He reached down to smoith out Daddy's tangled locks when a voice startled him. He hadn't heard anyone come in abd he had been keeping an ear out for Father's return, so it unsettled him just slightly that someone had been able to sneak in without any notice.

Looking up at the man, Sleipnir feld a pang of familiarity, perhaps someone Edge had known. Had possibly liked too because Sleipnir couldn't feel any hostilitycoming from the man and his eyes were lije Daddy's so he couldn't have been that bad. He was still as cautious as his brother though, not returning the hug he was given though it radiated the same 'warmth' he had felt from either Father or Daddy. Pulling away, he stared at Charon curiously and asked, "Are you Daddy's friend? I'm....Sleipnir. .." His voice was soft and he siddled up closer to hid brother to squeeze his hand.

He watched Charon wearily, taking note of the way he looked at Daddy, such affection in his eyes like Father's own, but less guarded. Less fearful and unsure. He must really be Daddy's good friend, but Sleipnir couldn't help but speak up when he lay down, "You shouldn't do that. Only Father gets to do that to Daddy." Like he was reprimanding a school boy, thinking perhaps Charon was just confused and didn't know it wasn't right for him to do what Father did.

"You have grown, Relin. And now, I believe you have reached the age to take over your mother's place on this council." Regnum withdrew his hand and gently bit his thumb, a bead of white blood springing up. He smeared it gently along Path's forehead, the younger closing his eyes as he felt it. It was an honor, a gift and his birth right, but some part of him ached. Perhaps it was already too late for him, having fallen into the darkness, but he still felt the warmth and the strength of the...his fellow elders. He opened his eyes and stared up at Regnum who smiled down at him before saying, "Right, now, shall we deal with our uninvited guest?"

All eyes were immediately trained upon the stranger. Regnum turned to face her and in a voice that shook souls, asked, "And what business does thou have here?"

[Skybreaker] Lumières Caelum [tenebrae16]

Well, I have a few, but some are hush hushtop secret so if I told you I'd have to kill you...also, yeah opposing sides! I'm sure they'll both have a little angst fest over one another before they come face to face in battle :3 The humans will probably side with the hydras too. And oh...so many little things I have planned! Let the sar start when the first city falls!

The wind was cold and carried the stench of decay so Path kept his head down as he let instinct guide him to his elders. His scales had spread even more along his skin, creeping up his cheek and surrounding his eyes. It was a little harder to maintain this extreme inbetween, but it negated the need for clothing and having to be careful in where he stood. Edge had never seen this and Path thought it was best he didn't. His tail slithered behind him and his wings gave a brief flutter as he nearedthe sacred sight. He could see the elders already gathered, Sanare, her electric blue hair falling in her face. Silva, watching him with her gentle green eyes. Ferrum, with his silver claws tapping his arm impatiently. Anemoi, with piercing white eyes and his cold exterior. Terra, her warm smile was motherly making Path envy those under her....

And finally there was Regnum, smiling at him with equal intensity, whose hand felt hot as he stroked hus cheek and who's firey eyes lit up upon seeing the white dragon, "Relin, you have certainly kept up waiting. Has your mate thoroughly have you so entranced that tha hast forgotten us?" He asked, leaning closser with such intimacy, Path was sure he saw Anemoi actually squirm.

He smirked back and the elder and replied, "Nae, Relin, but whatst would be your choice shoukd you have to choose between war and family?" "My dear, this war is for family."

Sleipnir crossed his arms and tapped his chin in thought. Happy to hold his brother's hand when he offered it, it was almost natural to hold hands like this where ever they went. At the question, he was a littke caught off guard, but hastily replied, "Off course! Where else would we be? I want to stay with Daddy and Father and you forever!" He huffed at Skylark's silliness to even think otherwise, returning his attention back to Daddy, "Maybd0e we can make a story about Daddy and Father! Like...the princesses and knights in fairy tales!"

His young's affectionate words stayed with him all the way as he climbed up the chute, even the biting wind couldn't take away the warmth he felt. Things were really beginning to look up. He sighed softly, holding jis last breath of fresh air before the pollution reached him. It was....strangely brighter than usual as hecreached the surface and it soon became clear why. Path stared at the remanents of the wooden shack once hiding their little lair, not inspecting it too closely though. Probably, a storm had finally ripped the rickety structure down. Though it wasn't wise to keep Regnum and the other elders waiting, Path felt uncomfortable having the cute so exposed to the open though, not wanting any of the mutated creatures or other scum to come across it and find his family. Edgr may be a hydra, but right now, he was still more human than anything and the twins were young.

He spent at least a whole half an hour building a sort of shelter over the chute opening, keeping it camoflagued among the rest of the debris. Carefully making sure it was set right before he finally set off to meet the elders and Regnum. Tge faster he did, the faster he coukd get backto hisfamily. He was too self asorbed in his own thoughts to notice the foreign scent of an intruder.

Sleipnir followed his brother, hot on his heels and trying to match his march. He was more than willing to help Skylark in repentence for hurting him. He sat right next to Daddy's head and petted him gently, stroking his hairlike Father had done to them. He lliked it enough so he figured Daddy would too. Glancing up at his brother,"I don't know....oh oh! Maybe we can tell Daddy a story like he always tells us....Do you know any stories?" He asked his brother. The only stories he knew were the ones Daddy had already told them and he didn't want to reuse them.
