It was already nightfall before Rose & Waya had returned.

"Anyone that is inside please come out here." All three walked out.

"What's up?"

"I want to talk about the writing you three did the last couple days."

"I have nothing. I don't see what the big deal was about this place."

"That's because you're a blocker. Your mind for some reason blocks you from seeing some things. It can be a good thing at times, acting almost like a shield."

"Oh" Lex just shrugged leaning against the wall. Rose & Waya looked between Steven & Kevin. Kevin was standing up, feet faintly apart with his hands crossed over his chest. Steven on the other hand was crouched down feet wide apart for support. One hand in front for balance wile the forearm of the other arm was on his leg.

"Raven you defiantly have associated yourself well in your new surroundings."

"Yes I see that now."

"Ok Rose care to clue the rest of us in?"

"Well Steven, I think you already know most of the things connected to you, except one. I know you will roll your eyes but here goes. In some ways you have an odd combo, you are a mix of panther, wolf…& well…scorpion" Rose tried not to smirk at the last one but couldn't help it.

"Very funny Rose & what do they mean?"

"It varies for each culture. You will need to search that more yourself." Kevin faintly shook his head.

"Let my guess…bear is one of mine?"

"You catch on fast."

"Ok Rose & what are you?"

"Well as you can guess one is Raven, a second is wolf." A playful smirk on her lips. "There are others but these are the main two. Just so you know just cause there are set traits does not mean someone does or can shoe them all. Just the fact you both do show something means your minds are open enough to comprehend this. Even though parts still may not seem possible to you." She looks over at Lex. "As for you, good chance you will think I am nuts even as you see it with your own eyes. In time your mind will try to rationalize it & what it can not it will begin to block from you." Rose closed her eyes to relax as she spoke.

"Ravens are guardians of the land of souls. They are a sign of life or death. In ways they can be the perfect balance, light within the darkness. It is keeping the balance that can be a problem at times. Due to my blood line I have more traits then most that are classified as ravens. I can interact with the life forces in things to either heal or harm, Also rechannel energy to handle things the normally are not possible."

"Like in the hospital?" Rose opened her eyes nodding to him.

"Exactly Kevin, that is how my body forces me to focus when I am injured, it is like a form of deep meditation. My power over the land of the spirits, also knows as the shadows is why when I focus I can take hits which would normally cause a lot of damage. I have to be careful though not to abuse my gifts as it can become a hazard in time. A hazard to the soul more then the body. There is something else I wish to share…" Closing her eyes again she focused, the shadows cast by the fire began to move in odd ways as if taking on a life of their own. She walked behind the fire out of view, but did not emerge from the other side.

"Over here guys." Kevin & Steven turned to face the lodge. Rose was standing to one side of it.

"So…you really do come from the shadows at the shows?" Steven questioned his mind not fully wanting to believe what he just saw.

"Yes, but I am limited with how far I can move. If I push too far I risk either getting trapped, or pulling something out with me. As with any gift there is a price." Rose cringed lowering to one knee. Both men looked worried moving closer to her as Waya spoke.

"Luckily it seems she has partnered herself with two protectors & guardians. You both will help to keep her grounded." Rose being helped up by both men.

"I need to rest, please excuse me." She headed inside grabbing a bed near the center that has the least light on it.

"Will she be ok?"

"Yes, it is just a strain when she uses her gifts with her own energy. It might be wise if everyone gets some sleep." They nodded heading inside. Steven nudged Lex as he walked by, his eyes were already shut. He wondered how long he had not been paying attention for.
