Satto growled but followed ruluctantly at first. He wanted revenge, but why did this creature want him for. Maybe she wants to finish me off? No that woudl not be it or she woudl ahve come to find me or killed me those few days ago. His padding along finally turneded into a trot and then finally a full out run. It felt good to be running even though he was hungry, but the promiss of food from this bird was sounding good and so he followed this bird to where he was heading to.

Astella either hadn't returned to their meeting spot, or returned and went elsewhere. Either way, Reth was going to have to wait with the hungry wolf....... "Stay here, wolf. Astella should be back soon. I'm going to go catch you something to nibble on while we wait." With that, the old falcon flew away, searching the ground below for possible food........

Frilmonty grunted as the unicorn's horn gashed his side and he skittered sideways, breaking off the attack. He snarled through the wave of pain, trying his best not to break down and cry. The unicorn didn't need to know his weakness of heart. Frilmonty growled at it through the pain. "What you do that for? I'm just trying to keep myself alive here!" The monitor's frill retracted as he turned to view his injured side. The gash extended from the shoulder of his right foreleg to the hindquarters of his back leg and wept much blood, tinging the earth red. Slowly, carefully, Frilmonty rubbed his side in the mud to create a poultice to clot the wound. His eyes were full of tears he dared not let free and so he closed his eyes before turning to lope away..........

Gammaya replied, "Wait. I have a message and a job. I did not want to attack you but you were the one who lept at me. I wanted to just talk. If You had broke off the attack you woudl not ahve got hurt but you still came at me. I had to defend myself from you. I could ahve kileld you but I did not. I did that for a purpose. I have a message to give you, but first you ahve to stop and not attack me. I coudl probably even get you help, but you ahve to listen to me first." Gammaya was full of panick inside. She had not meant to even touch this creature, but it was inevitable. She knew that this creature was needed and so she despritally tried to amke this creature listen.

Sir'birus got back tot the spot where Astella wanted him to meet the group before. But as he walked he spotted a wolf there. A rather weak one at that it appeared. He smirked thinking he would make a tasty snack when he remembered that the bird went to get a wolf. This was possibly the wolf he had to retrieve for the dragon mare.
He snorted to let the animal know he was there and then lowered himself to the ground to lay down about 5 feet away from the animal. Glancing over at the wolf he examined him. Not enough meat on those bones to make a good snack even if it wasn't the wolf that she wanted.
" Astella will be here shortly, she had prior engagements to attend to"
Came the deep sound of his voice. Memorized that were hidden, things Sir'birus couldn't remember. Mainly he wondered why he couldn't remember, he couldn't even remember what caused his memory loss. But apparently this Astella knew him or knew of him and he wished to know what she knew before he made up his mind on weather to fallow or not.

It seemed like eternity, but finally she was back in the clearing. Her eyes had turned into black pupils from their previous purple color before. She walked slowly, and yet with a purpose. She was exhausted, and had multiple scratches on her body, but noe were deep. She came into the clearing and saw Sir'Birus, and the wolf. The other were nearby, as she lay down in the middle of the clearing, not too far from Sir'Birus. Her head drooped low as she shook her mind clear. That had been much harder than she had imagined it would be. She waited in silence until the others came, keeping her weary eyes closed. Her entire body was tired as she lay her head down. She waited for the others...

Satto was drowsing in a weak sunbeam near the edge of teh clearing. HE looked up as he heard a voice, but he did not comment to this rather mean looking unicorn. He looked around and then heard a rustling and saw the horse creature he had attacked pad into camp. She looked even more beat up and tired than before. He woudl ahve a talk with her but not right now. He was tired from that day and was just glad to lay int he sun, but kept his ears open for any sound that might mean attack.

"Oh, you're smart. Tell me this 'message and job' you have for me before I choose to go home to heal." Frilmonty's voice was ladened with rage, pain and sarcasm. He didn't trust the creature nor did he want to. "By the way, I only attacked because I was hungry and you looked like good eating."

The brace of rabbits dangling in Reth's claws had been easy enough to catch and so with food, he turned and flew back to the meeting spot. Astella was back so after dropping the rabbits beside the wolf he had brought the old falcon landed lightly beside her. "Are you well, little one? You seem tired.... exhausted in fact.... Where did you go?"

Gammaya snorted and looked over her sholder and smelt the air. She could tell the wolf had arived and that Astella was back also. "Why don't you ask Astella yourself? I do not even know why. All I know is that there was a prophecy that we get together. There is you, a wolf, an other unicorn, a big bird, Astella, and then me. I think Astella is going to explain more once we are all gathered together. It is not far. I will not attack again and maybe one of the others can help heal you. Astella seems to know many things."

Sato yiped his thanks to teh bird and then took a rabbit for himself. He was hungry. He ate slowly to savior the taste. He paused many times and realized that they were all here for some reason and he had a feeling that no everyone was here yet.

"Why, Reth, I am indeed touched. Thank you for gathering the wolf. I am glad the journey was successful. As for me, I am indeed exhausted. My journey did not turn out the same as yours, but it was for a similar purpose. I cannot explain further, for I am being watched by those who wish me harm. But do tell me of what the journey was like, I would really like to hear of it." She flicked her tail quickly, for she could hear her observers in the trees. She looked to her friend Reth.

"Very well. Just remember, if I don't like this Astella's explanation...... you may want to stay awake for the rest of your life." With that the frilled monitor moved closer to the unicorn, grunting from the pain that rippled through his flesh. "I don't need your help unicorn. I don't need anyone's help. Just leave the wound be. Take me to your 'leader'."

"The wolf was easy enough to find, chasing a deer that was wounded. I pricked his tail to get his attention and offered him food if he would come along. So he did." Reth shrugged for it wasn't too difficult a journey. His fierce eyes softened as he looked into Astella's young eyes. The falcon felt guilt, for he didn't dare warn the young lass that his time was running short. Death was beckoning his flesh and bones. It would not be long before he had to leave forever. "Astella, will you please tell me what it was of importance that you wanted to tell me earlier?" Reth blinked twice, wondering if Astella realized her companion's dilema. He hoped not, for he did not want her worried over much.......

She looked to Reth. "Ah, my dear friend. I am not even sure that I myself understand completely this situation. What I had thought is different, and it has changed me. Who I thought was wrong turned out to be one who could help, and one that I thought might help turned to be the one I thought wrong. I know this sounds confusing, but time is running short for us. And not just me and you. All the other creatures, from the East to the West, they can sense it. But there is nothing they can do. Only us 7 creatures can understand and fight the evil that is coming." She looked around. The watchers had left, and they were all gathered in the clearing. She raised her voice to all, her eyes darkening slightly. "Come all, into a circle, if you please. I wish to speak with all of you. She stood beside Reth, and gently touched her tail against his back, to help confort him. When they were all gathered, she looked at each. "I have said before that each one of us has a gift. And I have mentioned the Prophecy. Each of you knows the Prophecy in one way or another, through stories you have heard on your journeys. This Prophecy is not perfectly clear, even to me, but there shall be 7 heroes to conquer the Dark. Each has a talent, outlined in the Prophecy, and this I shall tell you. At first it may be difficult to use your powers, but in time you will become what has been destined of you. Reth," she looked to him, her eyes lightening a shade. "You have the power over the powerful lightning. You can create it, and will be able to control it over time. As such, you are impervious to its effects and will forever be able to fly stormy skies." She looked to Gamaya next. "You have already learnt of your gift. You can call upon the powers of Light through the horn on your head. Your horn is a powerful weapon, and in times of Darkness will be of much help." She looked to the frilled monitor next. "Well, I see you have been able to join us. You, Frilmonty, are indeed a knowledgeable one. You control the water. If you decide to stay with our group, I can show you how to create waves massive enough to destroy any foe. Even in times of drought you will be able to call upon your gift, but it will be difficult at first." She looked to Satto. "You, my wolf friend, were a confusing one to figure out. I had believed that you had power over water, but I see now there is a much deeper anger burning in your belly. You have the gift of Fire, and with it almost unlimited power. Fueled by anger, you must be able to control your emotions, to better channel all that anger to create a more powerful attack. I can help you there." She looked, finally, to Sir'Birus. "You, Sir'Birus, are indeed different. A carnivourous unicorn, you are as rare as creatures come. You have power over the earth. But not the trees and other such nature. You control the rock of the ground, being able to shape and bend it to your will. There are many things you can do with your gift, like everybody else in this group." She sighed. "And then there is me. My gift is not destructive like the rest of you, as you may think. You believe that the Mark on my side is my gift, but it is not mine. I... sort of inherited it... from... another, whom I will not mention as of yet. My real gift is to speak to the stars. That includes the Fates and the Spirits, as well as many others. This is how I know of the Prophecy. The Prophecy states that 7 heroes, alike in goal but not in looks, will concquer the Dark. But, as you may see, there is only 6 of us here. This I cannot explain as of yet." She closed her eyes for a moment. She was so very tired... "I would like all of you to stay in the clearing but practice the gifts I have mentioned to you. I shall be here if you have any questions. Please come to me if you have questions or concerns of any kind. Do remember that you will not be able to do very much yet, except for maybe Satto, for all your gifts come from your soul. You must practice, and only then will you become what you are Destined to be. That is all I have to say. You may start your practice when you are ready." She saw each of them turn and venture a little while away, pondering about what she had said. her knees buckled under her, so she lay down. She was tired, and talking of things like this took energy. Talking to the Fates had been a long, hard process, and she was just glad she had gotten it through. She closed her eyes in rest, but did not sleep, less anyone have any questions for her to answer. She only hoped she could help...

" i smell death near...."
Sir'birus snorted under his breath and looked in the birds direction. He squinted a bit before looking away. today was a day for reflection he supposed. Power of earth, Pah, If it where up to him he would had had this planet blown up ages ago. Hell centuries ago. But than again the decision was not his to make. He closed his eyes and thought to himself. Laughing at the idea of powering the earth. He laughed in his mind and couldn't stop that thought. His pink eyes Slowly opened and he found himself gazing at the other unicorn. It had been a while since he had seen a unicorn and couldn't help but observe since he didn't know when he would see any again.
Power of light eh? Unicorns had the power to heal in their horn, perhaps if she utilized that light she could heal that lizard thing. He on the other hand held the opposite effect in his horn. Just one touch or stab and the prey would become wounded or worse, dead as many of his kind had found out. He single handedly killed one whole herd by accident when he didn't understand what he was. But that to was in the past.
" Well Astella, I'm sure sitting and reflecting is all good and wise for you 'good' natured folk, but i cannot sit and reflect like you"
He stood up obviously bothered by something and stretched his legs. Again a violent out burst came and his sharp cloven hooves Begin to strike the ground, but harder then last time, it was even uprooting the earth and leading it to the bare dirt underneath. He snorted a couple times as his tail flicked behind him in annoyance. His head shook back and forth as if there was something in his ears that were pinned back.

Gammaya just trotted back to the gathering and saw a wolf and and many others also. She realized that these must be the creatures that Astella had mentioned. She formed a circle with the others and listened to all that was said about their powers. When it was her turn she was surprized that she could controle light as a power. She was impressed about the toehrs aswell. But the one she worried about was this evil looking unicorn. He was carnivarous. Her skin crawled, but it was not visible to the eye. She noticed that this other unicorn was staring at her and was going to go and try and talk to him, but he got all agitated and fierce looking. She decided that later woudl be a better time. She looked around the clearing and found a spot that was quiet and away from the others. She trotted over and just thought about all that was said about powers and a prophecy all much more. She could not understand it all. She then thought about the time when she tried not to hurt the Frilled lizard who's name is Frilmonty much and that a blast of light had come out. She had no idea why or how. She found that there were some bushes around this side of the clearing and a few trees also. She stood in this more secluded spot and tried to call up her powers. She dug donw deep and whens eh opened her eyes she realized thats he had gouged teh earth where she was standing. She took a few breaths and calmed down.

Satto watched as a unicorn and a frilled lizard appeared intot he clearing after a while. he studied the creature afor a few moments had realized that it was the same one he had met in the den with and had shared stories with. He yiped a greeting but before he could reply this creature who he had attacked earlier todl them to gather into a circle. he realized thats he was in mch worse condition than before and he almost felt pitty towards her. He padded into the line forming the circle and sat down waiting to her to speak. He lsitened intently but being confuzed by most of it. When he heard that he had the powerof fire and that it was powered by anger hios ears shot forward and he shook his head to make sure he heard right. he cou;ld not believe that he had any power at all. Especially one that was linked with anger. He lsitened to teh rest and it all started to link together but he was still highly confuzed by it all. Once they were dismissed to go and try their powers he padded over to Frilmonty and barked, "Hay there, I have no seen you in like a day. The bird over there gave me a few rabbits. Would you like to ahve one?" He noticed that the creature was bleeding slightly from a gash on his side. He guessed that it was from the unicorn called Gammaya.

"Lightning... Me? I... there's no way..." Reth sputtered upon hearing Astella's words. The falcon was caught between sarcastic laughter and wonder at the possibilities. He beat his wings slowly as he tried to gain some distance from the ground before he began 'hovering'. The old falcon imagined lightning striking a orange leaf he could see. Nothing happened...... Reth frowned and closed his eyes as he began to search through his mind for what happened. As he did, he felt a strange 'nub' that he didn't recognize. When his consciousness touched it, it felt staticy and he pushed against it. Slowly, it opened and he felt something run from his claws. Upon hearing the BOOM of thunder he opened his eyes and was startled to see the leaf burnt to a crisp. The falcon landed quickly and turned to Astella in awe. He never thought he could contain so much power in all his years. Reth searched his mind again. The nub was there still, but it was closed and Reth doubted he had the strength to open it again. The old bird folded his wings in and waddled over to Astella. He sat down beside her and tucked his head under his wing to sleep........
