He flapped closely behind her, soon he will be home. He would be able to meet his father, his old mentor, and his grandmother. And he may just meet her parents. He may talk to them. Ask them about her. He could not help but remember last night, this very pretty raven female captured, ok so maybe it was the other way around. Maybe he really captured her, tried to kill her, and then save her. He could just turn the tables around right now. He could kill her right now if he wanted. But no he wouldn't. he needed her, he wasn't quite sure qwhat for yet, but he knew he needed her. he saw the change in her wings as she came up right beside him. oh how beautiful she was, her blue, no wait silvery blue eyes staring straight ahead, then he heard it. Her sweet caressing voice.

" we should be there soon"

" yes my pureness soon we will be there. And I will meet your family of ravens"

yes and then they will know that he was back, he would get the praise of a amazing warrior and then she will have to fall madly in love with him, because who couldn't love him, nightshade the legendary warrior. They will all praise him, especially his old mentor kimon, and his grandmother topaz. Oh yes he will get a large welcoming. There it is the old tree.

" will here she comes, and she brought the intruder, wait is it yes it is. Its nightshade. He's back"

kimon could not help but give a warm smile. His first apprentice, the legendary warrior nightshade was back from the dead. He was alive

" so he is. Topaz you must be very happy to see your grandson."

There feet grazed the tree branch before they truly landed. She gave a slight bow to the her lordness.

" oh nightshade it is wonderful to see you again, we thought you perished in the last battle"

her eyes whent wide, she turned around to face her attacker. He was nightshade, the legend. The hero of all of the stories, the warrior of all warriors. He was even better then kimon.

" no grandmother, but I did lose my flight for a few months, but I got help from my father the crow"

"oh yeah how is your father. I have not heard from him in days"

"he is doing fine"

"good, good. We should have a meeting to welcome you back into our family nightshade"

she turned right around and walked over to kimon.

" kimon get all of the ravens together and bring them over here. Clarity go wash up you are a mess, nightshade we would really like it if you got washed up as well"

"yes of course"

"clarity?"

how could he do this to her, she found him and yet he was getting all of the praise.

"clarity are you listening to ……………"

"yes milady I heard you"

she was back from getting cleaned up, and now she was with all of the other ravens at the old tree. Her feathers were gleaming, her beak was shining, and her talons were as sharp as ever. So sharp that they could kill his warriorness with one swipe and no one would no it was her. she watched with a scowl on her face as nightshade got his new sword for coming back to the family. She should of gotten that sword, she should be the one up there, she should be a warrior. But no she was still a ravenlett with brown feathers instead of black.

" you must feel so giddy with delight" she could almost not here what torch was saying to her

"why is that? I am not the one up there"

" will yeah, but with out you we may never see him again"

he stopped talking as he saw him, nightshade walk right over to them.

"not quite. I have been here many times, I know the way of by heart. I did not need her help to come here"

" of course, I did not mean what I said"

"and you clarity, it is time for you and I to go train"

hatred in her eyes, scowl on her face, and anger in her voice

" I will never train with you"

oh how much he would like to kiss that scowl of her face. Oh how much fun it would be to tease her, to make her want him so much she breaths his name, she dreams about him at night, she whants him to be her mate. One way or another that will happen. She will love him so much.

"Yes you will train with him. Topaz made him your new mentor"

Kimon walked up right behind him. Breaking the trance that nightshade was in. kimon saw the look on his face. The look that he saw many times on other ravens when they wanted something or someone so much.

He was her new mentor. No oh no this is bad. She got his warriorness for a mentor, which means if anything goes wrong it would be her fault.

"well now how wonderful this must be for you. You finally have yourself a mentor. Maybe we should go tell your mom and father this great news"

those two words hit her like a ton of bricks. Mom, father. Did she evern know what they looked like. Did she even know were they were.

"it would be better if we didn't tell them"

"and why is that?"

"we can not really tell them if they are not alive"

She had no parents, she was so venerable. She was so young to be without parents. His thoughts of seducing her went blank, how could he do something to someone who has so much hardship in her life. oh yeah he was still going to make her love him, but only on her own time.

"tomorrow we will start the training. I would like to see you in the flower meadow. Bring your sword."
