Janco waited by the portal, pacing. Kahtia had sent word she was coming, and her husband would be accompanying her. Janco smiled husband, it was nice to hear her sister had found love. I wish I had someone, someone who accepted me as unconditionally as well….I guess no one accepts me, because they do not know the things I have done, she sighed, betrayals, murders and assassinations. I've done it all, for what? To build myself a following, perhaps for a name that strikes fear so that no one would dare think of hurting me again. I could leave it all, maybe once we kill father. I'll take Messi, look after her since all her wealth was confiscated and I am wealthier than a noble man. Maybe all my sisters will want to live close, they would never have to know what I've done, the person I can be. They'd say I took after father, that after experiencing fear first hand I should know better…but I didn't and if they ever found out they'd understand that…I hope. Besides it'll be me who gets everyone close enough to father, none of them have practiced the trade of stalking your prey then striking quickly and efficiently. They need the skills I have gathered over the years- a bright light ended Janco's thought train as two figures appeared in front of her. Kahtia, Janco's breath caught as she wasted no time in embracing her sister. "So tell me, how have you been? Tell me everything especially how you met this fine male" she waggled her eyebrows at her sister making her laugh, "great I've been great. Since that uh-day I decided to learn more of the history behind my skills so I travelled to Pandaria, I met Kerran there in the Krasarang Wilds and we fell in love, we travelled together and eventually opened an inn in the jade forest called the three blossoms" Kahtia was beaming until she remembered why she was here and lowered her voice "Messi, where is she?" the air around the three sobered substantially and silently Janco grabbed her sisters hand and lead her to the citadel.
Kahtia handled the appearance of their younger sister badly ending in tears and her husband trying to calm her. "dear sister, we can help her, are you sure you have no idea where the others are?" Janco tried. " No, I figured we all have this silent pact, leave each other alone" and Janco alarmed everyone when she threw a chair at the wall " am I the only one who didn't get that memo? I searched for you all for a year and a half until I began my own life, I have one of the most superior intelligence system with my followers and yet not one of them could dig up a sliver of information about the whereabouts of you all, five months ago I had one piece of information Kahal might be in Stranglethorn and I spent four months there searching for her. Now I have three of you back and ones unstable, ones a death match fighter and the thirds fucking married. Now all of you better explain or I swear to the ancients so help me…!" the room was silent for a moment before Aryha spoke,
" you make it sound like you had nothing going for you, Janco, or should I say fleetfoot?"
Janco winced " who told you?"
" oh please, only one person can pull that off and it would have to have been one of us Dawnstriders, and to be honest you're the only one I know who can throw a butter knife and kill a man while he was swimming"
"you heard about that?"
" being a death match fighter you hear a lot about the underlords, so many people claimed to be you.I was dreading the day where you would walk into the arena to face me, but at the same time I was hoping I'd see you again." Her tone changed to a softer note "so don't worry, I didn't get the memo either".
"Nepharos really fucked us up didn't he" Kahtia laughed bitterly and the two sisters nodded as Kerran's hand found hers
"moving along" Janco hastily said " how will we find the others?"
"Janco" Messi whispered " I think father has being messing with your intelligence"
"what makes you say that" Janco cocked her head
"a feeling, makes sense though doesn't it?" Messi sighed
A sparrow flew into the room towards Janco with a message tied to the foot
Stranglethorn, the hawks.
" question, the hawks are a group of outlaw bounty hunters right?"
"correct" Kahtia said
Janco almost smiled " I know where Kahal is, I'm so stupid, she is in Stranglethorn, just very used to not being found. I should of known"
"so you can find her?" Messi asked
"yes, I'm sure of it"
"can I come?" Messi asked, eyes hopeful and Janco was about to say no when Kahtia interrupted her
"she's old enough to make her own decisions, Messi can you honestly say you can handle the journey"
Messi's whole body seemed to have a rush of energy " YES! Nora had a shipment of medicine from Silvermoon, it helps barrier the mind from influences"
Kahtia, Aryha and Janco exchanged glances each nodding.
"We leave tomorrow" Kahtia confirmed then turned to her husband who put a finger on her lips
"shhh I'm coming" and Kahtia's shoulders sagged,if he got hurt…
"Aryha and I will file for Messi's release meet at the portals at dawn" Janco nodded then left the room, Aryha trailing behind her.
