Sky walks over and kneels down to look Tritan in the eye. Maniplulating the winds slightly, Sky floats a stray feather over, which he then hands to Tristan.
:Show me this feather when you return, and I'll take you flying. You will not fall unless you ask. Now, I don't give out flights to just anyone, so keep it a secret, or LK will want one too. I have a sneaky suspicion LJ's daughter may want one as well...:He stands.
Tristan accepts the feather and smiles. "I get to fly," he happily thinks aloud to himself.
"Come on get happy....."
*breathes fire at BlueBird of Happiness*
Oh, don't be a meany mean head!
Lk tugs a bit on Tristan's arm to get his attention. Then, he steps back.
"There is something you should know about me."
Lk shifts back into his wolf form slowly, watching Tristan's reaction.
Why is everyone here so mean to me? Can't you just be HAPPY?
Lk tugs a bit on Tristan's arm to get his attention. Then, he steps back.
"There is something you should know about me."
Lk shifts back into his wolf form slowly, watching Tristan's reaction.
Tristan stands, eyes widening, and looks stunned at Little Kiba's transformation. He looks to Allura and then to the Dalesman for answers and question to words he cannot speak.
"So, I guess the next question is where do we find this Ogiva person."
Hmm? Oh, he's at the Bazaar. At the Ranger and Dryad tavern.
Keehaar flies back to the nest after an extensive time away. He has grown, shedding his juvenile pinfeathers. He looks as if he has gained a bit of quiet wisdom as well.

Lk shifts back.
"Yep, I'm the puppy who helped you. I'm a lycanthrope, a dire werewolf, and I'm one of the good ones. I'll help, but if you don't want to be friends after that, it's okay. Some people just don't like the idea of knowing a lycanthrope."

:I'm glad to see you back, lyssla. My goodness, you're growing up so fast! Really fast. Something to do with your being the reincarnation of that other fellow, I suppose. But you're always welcome here. So don't forget that,: she added with a grin.

:Nice wing work Keehaar. Welcome back.:

No longer frightened, Tristan innocently walks up to Little Kiba and hugs his new friend. He's still going to miss his grey puppy however...

Lk hugs back
"Thanks Tristan. Um, don't pick me up like a puppy unless necessary, okay? It was kinda embarassing."He looks at Allura and Devlyn.
"I'm ready to go."
Allura glances at Devlyn, and turns back to Lk. "Maybe we should leave you and Tristan here while we go and follow up on a couple of these leads. Just for a couple hours," she adds hurriedly before the boy could object. "It's just that we don't know when that drow woman will try to snatch Tristan again, and we don't know if any of the people we're trying to find are working with her. I'd feel better if he were here with you to protect him while we went to talk to them. After we're done with that and we can all be focused on watching out for him, then the two of you can join us in the bazaar again. Would you both be okay with that?" She looks back and forth between Tristan and LK waiting for an answer.
Lk had started to object, but Allura's quick response stopped him. Although he tries to think of a way around it, Lk cannot see anyway to do so.
"Fine."
As the others head towards the omniportal, Djuhah approaches the two boys.
"You are both welcome to make use of the facilities here. I would be happy to provide a meal if you are hungry. And there is a playground/ sparring area also. I believe young miss Arielle is there already. I'm sure she would be happy to see you. There aren't many her own age around here."
Lk brightens.
"I forgot Arielle was here."
Arielle sits on a swing and stares off into space trying to think of something new to do. She'd already had her practice session with Daddy. She was starting to get the hang of the hammer, but it was taking a lot longer to learn than she was happy about. And Mommy had told her that she would be busy until after suppertime. She sighed.
"Hey Tristan, you want to meet someone? She should be around here somewhere..."
"Hey Tristan, you want to meet someone? She should be around here somewhere..."
Tristan nods his head and follows Little Kiba wondering what his new friend will look like.
Arielle looks up as Djuhah leads the two boys into the playground area.
"Little Kiba!" she says, jumping off the swing and clapping her hands with excitement. "I've missed you."
"Oh! You brought a new friend too!"
She walks up to Tristan.
"Hello, I'm Arielle. What's your name?"
Arielle looks up as Djuhah leads the two boys into the playground area.
"Little Kiba!" she says, jumping off the swing and clapping her hands with excitement. "I've missed you."
"Oh! You brought a new friend too!"
She walks up to Tristan.
"Hello, I'm Arielle. What's your name?"
Tristan is about the speak, out of habit, then he hisses aloud. He clutches his throat. Turns and looks to Little Kiba for some help.
Keehaar, tired of being moody, decides to see what the other kids are up to. He glides over and alights.
Hi all! Can I hang out with you? I'm Keehaar, an' I nest here with Sky and Blodwen.
Keehaar! Yay! Does this mean you're not so busy today? Oh, I hope so. This is Little Kiba. He's a friend of mine. I don't know the name of his new friend, and he seems to have some trouble talking.
Hi Little Kiba! I'm sorry I've been so distant Arielle, I've been trying to figure out this whole oracle thing.
Keehaar flaps his wings, then transforms into a young boy
I've been training my shapechanging powers too ...
That's okay, Keehaar. I'm just glad you have some time to play now.
Keehaar sits down
So what are you guys doing?
Tristan is about the speak, out of habit, then he hisses aloud. He clutches his throat. Turns and looks to Little Kiba for some help.
"Arielle, Keehar, this is Tristan. He can't talk because he got into a fight a while ago with some street gang. He beat 'em good, but one got in a lucky shot and cut Tristan's throat."
"Wow, that sounds scary. Well, I'm glad you're okay now Tristan. Did you guys talk to my mom already? She's good at healing that kind of thing."
"Wow, that sounds scary. Well, I'm glad you're okay now Tristan. Did you guys talk to my mom already? She's good at healing that kind of thing."
"Yeah, she's gonna try after things settle down. Hey, is that your hammer?"
Bored, Sytt watches the children talk. He stiffens. He senses power in Arielle, godly power.
"Oh damn..." He mutters. "Nobody told me Lynora had a daughter."
Suddenly, he feels a bolt of pain. He yelps.
"Ow!"
"Wow, that sounds scary. Well, I'm glad you're okay now Tristan. Did you guys talk to my mom already? She's good at healing that kind of thing.""Yeah, she's gonna try after things settle down. Hey, is that your hammer?"
"Yeah, it's just a wooden practice hammer for now. Daddy says I'll be ready for a real one pretty soon. Mostly cause I keep setting the wooden ones on fire. I don't mean to. It's just that they don't like the lightning. And I still don't really have that under control."
Sytt hisses in pain and fear.
"Get out! I have every right to be here!" He mutters.
