Gammaya saw the creature step forward and was shocked to see it. It was a unicorn like her but not likr her at all. It had a black twisted horn and it was blue with speckles. It also had strange color of eyes. She shivered as somthing overcame her, but then shook her head and replied after the bird that helped to save them. She first dipped her head in her fasion of welcome and then looked up and replied, 'HEllo. My name is Gammaya. You are a unicorn right? I ahve not seen any unicron lie you before."

So here they all were, all gathered. But there were two missing... She sighed, and looked at Reth in sympathy. "I know you, blue unicorn. We have met before. You were there when the Prophecy was uttered, and now I need your help. There are two missing from our group. One is a wolf, and one is a lizard. I could locate where they are, but I would not have the strength to go and find them. Would you, all of you, be willing to find these two?" She looked towards the entire group, waiting for them all to answer her question...

" Greetings to you all. Since to have slipped your names to me i will grant mine to you. I am Sir'birus"
He looked to the unicorn and with a twisted smirk his eyes darted over to meet with hers
" Yes i am indeed a unicorn. though yuo will find out very soon why i am different my dear..."
His gaze then leaped over to Astella and he looked at her for a moment. Then it hit him, perhapes something he couldnt remember right now but it eas there. it stung into his mind and he knew not what it was all he could do was sit there for a moment before his smirk grew, revealing the many shrap teeth and canines he bared.
" Why it would seem you remember something that i cannot. Im sorry love but i dont remember what it is you speak of. And you are very bold i might add. To ask a complete stranger that you know nothing of to help."
He could still smell the blood and his puiples diolated, and it was all he could do to hold back the saliva that wished to free its self from there prison like glands.His tail blew lightly in the slight breeze, his sharp hooves hit the ground as he pawed for a little bit, waiting for what ever it was to happen, happen.

"I would search the whole continent if they are that important to you. As it is, we'll need a plan or we'll be wasting much time and energy." Reth glanced at Sir'birus, noting the eyes had changed and the nostrils flared a bit. He was growing uneasy as he noticed more and more strange movements. Whatever the unicorn had gone through, something must had gone wrong.........

The water felt nice as Frilmonty glided slowly in search of fish. He noticed some animals on a nearby ridge, two or which matched Satto's description. The monitor stealthly swam back to shore and hid among the reeds, tasting the scent of blood with his tongue. This maybe dangerous, but it makes good hunting...........

Gammaya was nervous about this unicorn that looked evil, but she saved her judgment for another time. "I would be gald to search for them, for you have saved my life and I would not just leave now. If you want I can search now or wait till a bit later." She pronounced in a confuident tone. She wantd to help, she wanted to stay, and she also felt some sort of connection between the bird and Astella. She was also intrigued by this prophecy and that they were part of it. She wanted to know more, but knew that it was not the time to ask.

Satto woke up feeling refreshed. HE was hungry now and so he left the tunnel under the tree and scented the air for any sign of prey. He smelt a herd of deer a little way off int he distance and headed out that way.
He found the deer and watched them from downwind so that they could not smell him. HE found a weaker, older deer which had a lame leg and so he slintly watched that one for a bit. HE then made his way through the caller grasses towards the intended prey. Satto was hungry and his mouth slavered, but he held himself in check for the time being. ONCe he was close enough he caluclated the distance and teh conditions for where to attack from and then he sprang.

Sir'birus was still waiting impatiently for the answer from the one who seemed to be the leader of this little group and or escapade. He didn't like this situation... so much fresh, living, breathing, meat around him and he couldn't touch any of it. None at all. His stomach gurgled and he lifted up him left hide leg to kick at it, trying to hush its pleading cries.
" What are you looking at bird?!"
Sir'birus snapped in a darker tone then before. It was true, he had a bit of a short fuse when it came to others staring at him. It was bad enough to be born a blue horse with a black horn but to also be carnivorous to boat didn't make it any better. He bared his sharp wolf like teeth to him as a sing of warning. Perhaps he would get to know his little group before her slowly pegged them off. His glance once again fell back to her.

She looked to the blue unicorn, "Trust me when I say that I know more of you than you may think. The prophecy has unfortunately come true, and we need to ban together to get through this. We are all different, but each of us is unique. You may not understand me yet, but there is something different inside each of you that does not preside in other creatures. The Fates have been called down, but we need the other two in order to call upon the presences that have been avoiding us. One is a wolf, who is just east of here. The other is nearby, the frilled monitor. Therefore, I need you, Reth, to find this wolf. Your wings will come in much use, and I shall give you some more herb before you leave. Gamaya, I need you to talk to the frilled monitor. But I warn you, he is hungry. Your horn will come in much use. Now, you-" she looked to the blue unicorn. "I must talk to you, alone." Astella looked at the two, and gave Reth his herb. After they had left, she turned to the unicorn again. "Shicantry ni marne, shocuse dor brehg. (I know not your name, but I see you are hungry.)" She had not spoken in the Old Toungue in quite some time, but the words never failed to escape her. "Grantchi le (Come with me)." She turned, and started to glow. Her mark burned, and her mane started to blow. She called upon the forces of space and time, and located Khaos. She looked close by, and saw deer fall over, dead from the energy she had used. She brought a large alpha buck forth. to where they stood. She stopped glowing, and pointed towards the buck. "Shenra to (It is for you.)." The buck started to bleed on the sides, for it was fresh in this time. "Norm iska rau, heshle dakor. (While you eat, tell me your name.)" Astella looked towards the blue unicorn, and switched back to normal language. "I hope you like the buck. It is very fresh." She smiled as her eyes turned a shade darker.

" Normak eknu aramth teylishna.Shist Ni porlant corshna almose " (I still know not of which you speak. A while ago i lost part of my memory long ago you see)
He watched as time flashed before his eyes, the others slowly dissipated into the mists. He looked to this female creater before him. For the first time really observing her for the first time. She looked like something you would get if a dragon and a horse bred. But no matter. As soon as he seen the buck drop he jerked a bit. He wasn't use to seeing things drop dead like that with out anything really attacking it.
Wearily he dropped his head down to sniff it but as soon as the blood came out it was like a frenzy all over again. Fresh, succulent meat, oh how he longed to feel the raw bloody Marcel's slip into his mouth.He paused after a few bites and then brought his head up, blood dripping from his mouth.
" Sir'birus... and may i ask your name M'lady?"
He could be polite when he wanted, but that only usually happened when he was satisfied with the results of the day. He did not wait to hear her name before he scarfed down the whole buck. It only took a matter of 10 minutes for him to devour the beast and he resumed his normal posture after ward. Thanks to his black head it was unnoticeable that he had did such a thing. As far as he was concerned, the fewer that knew the better.

Reth looked at Gammaya and jokingly complained "Why do I have to go after the wolfie that wants to eat me? This isn't fair." With a proud cry, the falcon lept into the air and his large wings beat steadily as he climbed. Once he reached opitmim altitude, the old bird banked left and began to fly over the forest, headed back toward where he had first seen the wolf that had attacked Astella. Every five minutes he circled to get a better look around. Where ever the wolf was, he wasn't making things easy out in the open..... Wait a second.... There he was, chasing a wounded deer across the clearing. With a daring plan in mind, Reth angled his approach so he would come at the wolf from behind and silently dived towards him. If the plan worked right, the wolf would receive a nip on the tail and would REALLY pay attention........

Frilmonty was surprized when two of the creatures walked away together and the third flew away. Thinking they had possibly caught his scent he quickly sniffed himself before realizing the fourth hadn't moved. The Frilled Monitor looked around cautiously and spotted what he was looking for. A nice hole in the ground AND a rather large water rat beside it. With speed unrelated to his bulk, the lizard sprinted into the den, slashing the rat's side in the process. "Sorry amigo, but I'm gonna get meself an one-horned deer." Frilmonty whispered as he turned and face the now-squealing rat, concealed within the hole. Hopefully, the deer would hear the sudden rustling of grass and the pained squeals of the water rat. Being stupid as all deer were(Frilmonty had never heard of a smart one) it would come and investigate. Then the trap be sprung and the dinner table laid out. Patience was the key, oh yes, Patience........

So that was his name... "My name... is Astella. It is unfortunately my slave name, but I have none other to call myself. I am glad you remember the Old Toungue." She looked at the dead deer, only its bones lying on the ground. "You know, the Fates have given each of us a gift. You have agift too, even if you do not think so. You are unique as well, as are we all. For example, you eat meat. There is nothing wrong with that. You may think there is, but ultimately, that thing that makes each of us unique will in turn save each of us. For we are all prophecised to die at one point, and when we do, you will be able to justify your actions." She shook her head, trying to sort the confusion. She looked to the setting sun. "You see, Sir'Birus, even the Sun has to die, so that it may live again the next day. And up there somewhere among the stars, there is hope. And that is what we need." Astella got up from her position on the grass and looked in the eyes of the unicorn. "You, my friend, are more important than you will ever know." Astella turned, and watched the Sun streak stripes of orange and red across the sky. She thought of Him at that instant, and saw his face before her. Maybe she was wrong about this. Maybe she was wrong about Him. All she knew right now is that the only thing in all of Life that did not change... was the stars themselves.

Gammaya nodded her head and set off. She decided to head a little ways in one direction untill she heard a squeeling. She knew that it was the lizard that Astella had mentioned and so she thought about this. I think he is trying to get me to come closer so that he can ambush me. Now I see what Astella meant by my horn. She then carefully stepped forwards. her gooves making only a slight noise on the ground. She held her head up high, but at a moments notice she could bring it down. She walked slowly forward her eyes and ears straining to hear any noise. She then stopped and called out ina calm tone, "I know youa re here lizard. I have no idea hwta type but I know youa re here. I woudl not attack me if I were you. I am not a prey you woudl liek to mess with." SHe pawed the ground with a hoof and then stood still waiting for the creature to show itself.

Satto was so keen on the prey he was trying to catch that he did not hear the beat of wings ont he ari. IT was to late and he felt a sharp pain in his tail. He stopped suddenly and snapped at whatever had benn there. He snarled in frusteration adn then looked up to see a bird there. But it was no ordinary bird, it was the same on that was with that horse creature a few days back. HE snarled, "What is it you want. I had a meal to cahth. I am hungry you know, and if you are not carefull you WILL replace the meal you made me loose!"

" That may be so but you also have to remember this Astella, the moon kills the sun not that the sun just dies but the moon kills it. they kill each other in a vicious circle, one by one the stars die and don't return. Heed my warning. I will help you with what ever it is you accomplish. But don't turn your back on me, and make sure I'm not hungry when others are around. I cannot control what happens when i smell blood."
He thought it only fare to warn her about his appetite. She may think theres nothing wrong with eating meat but she didn't know the true extent to his hunger. When he killed something and devoured it he not only ate the creatures body but their soul. It was usually best for him to get pre killed meat for if he killed it the spirit would get twisted in his horn and never be reborn.
His ears listened to everything around them he wondered where they had all gone to. His Vibrant eyes scanned their surroundings. Just before he turned to her his tail snapped in the air. He snorted and pawed the ground viciously. Every once and a while he would subject to these little 'fits' of rage. He couldn't help it, it was just one of the many perks to devouring another creatures blood.

"Ooooo. Grouchy are we?" Reth's tone was filled with distain as he circled above. "Astella, the lass you were going after before, wants to see you for some reason. Come, I'll hunt some rabbit for your belly later." The falcon banked suddenly to the left, soaring low so the wolf could see and follow. He did an occasional loop-de-loop as he checked on the wolf's progress....

With a sudden hiss, the large Frilled Monitor bolted into the open with his orange frill spread wide. His large jaws stayed open as he tried to grab onto on the creature's throat. His claws slashed at its hooves and his tail maintained his balance during his vicious ambush. Once the attack proved unsuccessful Frilmonty backed away, frill still spread wide. "Yer just a tender animal, why should I be afraid of something like you?" The Frilled Monitor's hunger was up and he waited not for an answer as he leapt again at the creature's neck, jaws hoping for flesh and blood.....

"Yes, it is true what you say. We have only to wait until the others come back and then I will explain everything. You, Sir'birus, are indeed a strange creature, but I believe I know the gift that the Fates have given you. But I cannot say at this moment." She sniffer the air as Sir'birus started to paw the ground. He seemed angry, but for what reason she did not know. The Fates were puzzling her with their riddles, and she was only more confused. The most confused part was that they were lying to her about something. They were keeping something secret, but she didn't know what it was. She sighed. She turned to Sir'Birus. "I... must go for a little while. The others should be back soon, so if you would, tell them to stay around here so that I can find them again later, when I come back. I shall be in your debt, but for now, I must go." Astella turned, and with a flick of her tail she left. She trotted along through trees and bush with careful steps. She put more effotr into making her tro look comfortable, for she knew she would in trouble if they thought she was afraid. She spotted a very large tree, and realized that it was just the right size. She called upon the powers of her mark and walked into the tree, and into another dimension. She emerged on an island on the west of the world, long away from any land. Not very many creatures could swim across without drowning. She looked around at the wasteland. There were a few bare trees here and there, the ground cracked open, sand blowing overtop the land. She sighed, for this would not be easy. Nor would it be pretty...

Gammaya snorted as she lowered her horn in defence, "Because I am NOT a deer. I am a unicorn and you WILL respect me." Her horn was aimed at the side of this animal, for she did not want to kill it. But just before they connected a blinding white light poured out of her horn and she closer her eyes int he white flash knwoing that this could be the end.......
