Quin cried out in disbelief. "Talonthorn can't be gone! It just can't!" She hit a tree hard enough to make it fall, knocking over two other trees and scraping her knuckle. Drayl could have protected it... He's always been able to."

"Quin..." Espeon tried to tug her sleeve, but was slapped away. He lowered his ears sadfully. "Quin, I'm sure Drayl tried to protect it. Thran works under Chrom's command. If Thran had trouble, I can understand if Drayl did."

Arya put a hand on Quin's shoulder. "Espeon's right, Quin. I heard stories about Thran, stories of him single handily saving multiple villages. He's a hero, but if he had trouble..."

Quin suddenly ran into the forest, tears streaming from her eyes. "Talonthorn must be here! It must be!" She ran through the hidden portal to find the village destroyed. She walked back out and sat in the grass.

Maryam caught up to her. "Quin, are you okay? Why'd you run off?"

Quin just pointed at the concealed portal. "It's gone, Arya, it's really gone..." She couldn't stop crying, and Arya hugged her friend, telling her it would be okay.

"May I ask what this fine lady is crying about?" A regal yet slightly annoying voice asked.

Quin didn't look up. "We know it's you, Owain, no need to act that way."

"Act in what way?" Owain asked, "This is how I always act."

Espeon answered him. "Odin Dark, Owain of Ylisse, you love to make a name for yourself:"

Owain looked slightly miffed. "But that is only natural, small purple cat."

Quin looked at Espeon, seeing he was suddenly extremely agitated. "I'd be careful, Owain, Espeon doesn't like being called a cat."

"Cat my ass!" Espeon said, "I'll have you know I'm a fox! A FOX, not some stupid cat!"

"Calm down, Espeon," Arya said, "I'm sure Owain didn't mean it."

Owain suddenly became more normal. "I'm sorry, Espeon, my acting went too far. I may like to think I'm a legendary hero, but I'm nothing more than a prince with a big head."

"Apology accepted," Espeon said stiffly, his fur going back down. "Just be careful what you say. I'm sure Lissa has taught you that."
