Talon felt the pull in her core as she summoned air helping her down from the castle. Once Talon landed she ran. Tears blurring her vision she wiped them she might have to move on before... again the sweet scent of blood entered her senses. Talon shook her head no it's just from my transformation I haven't been...Talon knew there were more victims. Her wolf form she could change willingly in seconds she could be a wolf or human. The mark of this was Talon clutched her right arm. Close to her shoulder.
There must be survivors there must be...maybe Talon let the water run up her arms and legs. Talon's senses opened to their full extent. Talon didn't make eye contact with the victims as she survived the area there were three. Close to the outer boarder-lines of her village. Despite her hopes she sensed deaths eerie grip. Talon looked up sighing, her tail swished in frustration. Talon changed back... she was in a kneeling position. As she stood she straitened her long sleeve, Talon's ears pricked someone was watching her...Two...wait...Talon tensed as someone was approaching her.
Talon whipped around expecting to see a hunter or keeper or worse her nightmare. To her astonishment Fai looked at Talon with awe and curiosity. Talon stepped back someone found out! Her mind screamed Fai stepped forward "Talon please don't run...I know you are scared but I can keep your secret I promise. "
Before Talon could reply Fai continued "..I ...I followed you I was worried and I saw you find these people and change...I know you couldn't have done this no one could have found these people without you...I followed you at the castle as well...your reactions said it all you have special magic and someone is possibly trying to frame you..."
Talon shook her head "Fai...I'm a...I'm a monster... A weapon...I ...I can't stay here" Fai moved in-front of her a look passed over his eyes his voice changed it was very firm "You are not a monster Talon.." he grabbed her arms Talon looked down then it subsided into a gentle tone "You fight with rules with limits you protect you never hurt anyone. Tal look what we can do together."
Talon looked up and around her flames was dancing in across the snow. Water spiraled around them glistening sapphire light erupted above them. She looked back at Fai's eyes they reflected something she had only seen in her own eyes. He had a special connection with magic too.
Talon remembered Raiya's warning about magic..she tugged Fai let go instantly everything returned to normal.
Talon bit her lip "thank you for showing me...Fai looked into her eyes "your magic... you are beautiful." Talon looked up blushing Fai laughed slightly blushing as well.
Before anything else was said Talon was gone. He shook his head Fai turned then back again to see a figure in-front of eyes caught Fai's attention lime-green yellow with red along his pupils. His hair razor strait bangs, his hair seemed to wave. He had a long black leather coat that drifted in the breeze. The collar long and sharp against his jaw, chains on his waist clinked in the wind. A ring with a clear jewel caught his eye. "Fai I presume? " His voice sharp and seemingly smooth. Fai blinked the ring turned to a crimson red he stepped back. There was something about this stranger that made Fai feel helpless, that made him uncomfortable one of his position shouldn't ever be a feeling a prince has.
The figure smiled bowing slightly "highness I apologize.. I'm Korane and I have been sent to find the perpetrator for these murders. " Korane stood glancing over to the bodies "if I were you I'd take care of those." Korane turned sharply he added lowly "be careful who you trust."
Fai looked over where the bodies were then back to where the stranger was he wasn't there .
Korane stood on a bank surveying the village, Two voices caught his attention "Sir are you sure she's here?" Korane smiled as he looked at his ring it was clear again "I'm sure" he smiled "be ready at any possible moment got it?" "Talon will be hard for you... "Korane whispered "all of you are if they would have just left it to me two years wouldn't have been wasted trying to track her. After all I haven't seen her since she was eight. Now twelve...he smiled "and a shifter she's been busy."
Korane looked over the houses he smiled knowing exactly where she was.
