A/n- if you start thinking, "What the hell?" about some of these characters, it's because either the char isn't important to the story, Kor wasn't present for the event, or the event doesn't matter. Or any combination of the above.

Bikon and Beta

Chapter 3- of Tamaly and Ali.

Korunue bursts from the portal, with Aldrea's backpack, and clutching a scroll. "Aldrea!" she calls, racing up to her, panting.

"hmm?" replies the older woman. She was a bit preoccupied: Ali was now a baby, silver, blind dragon, and Tamaly was an angel after all, now singing a heavenly song. So much had happened in so short a time... only a few days had passed since the haze was defeated.

"You got a letter!"

Ali Cia squeaks and turns her head toward where Korunue is standing. "I can't smell her. Who's that?"

Gamma looks over to Tamaly. He waits for her to finish.

Aldrea rolls her eyes to Gamma about Korunue. That's doggygirl Kit thinks to Ali as Aldrea takes the letter from Korunue. She opens it tiredly... then stops, in shock, reading the signature. She looks up, then back down, reading carefully.

"Doggygirl? You mean Korunue?" asks Ali.

Aldrea looks back up, in shock. She hands Kit to Korunue. "Watch her for me?" she asks, then heads back through the portal. Doggygirl. With the doggy ears. kit says to Ali, stubbornly, as Korunue raises an eyebrow at Aldrea's retreating back.

Ali Cia chirrs and listens to Tamaly's song, though she still keeps alert about everyone else. Gamma looks to Aldrea as she leaves. HE figures it must be inportant so he dosn't worry. He give Kor a wave and goes back to listening to Tamaly."

Tamaly finishes the song, sighing, "I...I've never felt so much at peace before...it's so...so...comfortable..." Ali Cia curls up in Tamaly's lap, sighing in contentment.Tamaly hugs Ali, happy for the first time in a long time.

"It was beautiful Tamaly." Gamma says.

Korunue has no idea what to do with the dragonling. She nods to Tamaly, as Kit nuzzles her. "um... hello?" she tells Kit, unsure what to do, shrinking down a little.

Ali squeaks, puzzled about the hug, but she doesn't resist. Tamaly speaks: "Thanks, Gamma..."

Ali tries to squirm out of Tamaly's lap. "I wanna go play with Kit." Tamaly lets her go, nodding. Korunue sighs with relief as Kit leaps out of her arms and trots over to Ali. She smiles a little, watching them awkwardly.

Gamma sighs. "I guess the fact that she remembers us now is good. At least I got rid of the spell."

Ali smiles slightly and flaps her wings. "Can't catch me!" She then turns and starts running, seeming to get around much better than before. Korunue tilts her head to the side. "hmm? spell? What?" Kit chases after Ali, running as fast as she can. She is older, in a way, but not much larger or faster.

Tamaly groans, a smile on her face, and lets herself fall backwards on the grass, her wings sprawled out, actually comfy, and stares at the sky. Ali Cia begins giggling, running across the grass. This continues for a while until WHAP! She runs into a tree and nearly knocks herself senseless.

Gamma looks over to her. "You ok?"

Ali shakes her head to clear it. "Yeah. Hard horns protected me." Kit stops in time, trilling worredly. She heads over to Ali to help her. Korunue giggles softly. Ali chirrs to Kit and grins, flopping onto her back.

Gamma looks down at Tamaly. " I ended up hurting her doing it but she's alive." Tamaly closes her eyes, a nice, warm breezing flowing through the area, and lay there comfortably, off-guard for the first time since she was 8.

Gamma chuckles. "I think this is the first time I've seen you this relaxed."

Ali stretches out, her tail flicking. She enjoys the shade of the tree, but then decides she would like to go sunbathe. "Kit? I wanna go back to Tamaly. Where is she?" Korunue stands about, uncomfortable, not knowing what was going on at all. Kit heads over next to Ali, putting a wing over Ali, and heading back to Tamaly, careful to give trees a wide berth.

Tamaly glows with a white aura in the sunlight, her feathers pure white, reflecting the sun magnificently. Gamma smiles as he realizes exactly how much like an angel she lookes like.Ali lets herself be guided by Kit and climbs up onto Tamaly when she gets near. She flops on her side and stretches out again.

Tamaly holds her arms up to the sky, as if trying to grab the sun, her eyes open slightly. She smiles, laughing a little. Ali Cia begins purring on Tamaly's stomach. Gamma continues sitting there, enjoying the sight. Korunue stands at the edge of the clearing, shifting nervously from one foot to the other, unsure what to do.

Gamma talks to Kor but dosn't turn around. "You can come over and sit down too." Tamaly feels as though she's touching the sunlight, like it's solid, and closes her hands around it, bringing the warm feeling to her face. She kisses her hands, and lets go of the light, 2 pure white doves flying through the air from her hands.

Korunue timidly creeps over, sitting next to Gamma, saying nothing. Kit trills happily, leaping to catch the birds, but she can't get high enough and so sits and watches them. Gamma blinks. HE really didn't expect this. Ali_Cia hears the flapping of wings and raises her head. "Huh?"

Kit mentally laughs. Birdies!

Tamaly giggles a bit. "Tasra...it's been forever since I tried that..." She smiles, looking at the sky.

Gamma smiles and speaks to Kor while still looking at Tamaly's face. "It's heartwarming isn't it."

Korunue nods, meekly. She has no idea what is happening, but it looks pretty, and peaceful... like the lake... she bites her lip to try and rid herself of these thoughts. Ali sits up and tries to fly after the birds. She gets a few feet up into the air, then falls down a few inches from Tamaly.

"It's too bad that part of this is because of a mistake I made." Gamma continues.

"not your mistake! I said it was my fault" Ali corrects him.

Korunue tilts her head to the side a little. "What mistake?"

Gamma chuckles. "Sorry. I have this problem with blaming myself when I accidentally blind people."

Korunue 's eyes widen, and she looks at Ali. "Oh." she says, embarrased that she hadn't noticed...

Ali blinks, her silver pupils sparkling slightly. "I'll be fine."

"Myst had done somehting to her while she was in her egg, I stopped him from finishing it but it still partially worked. He had blocked her memories and was slowly killing her. I was able to get it out of her with some help from Aldrea and Tamaly, but I also ended up blinding her." Gamma explains.

Ali Cia lowers her head and charges at Gamma, bumping him in the leg. "I told you, I moved, it's my fault."

Korunue nods. "I see." she says, leaning back and daydreaming in the sun.

Gamma looks down to Ali. "I know, but I still feel bad about it."

Kit curls up in the sun and goes to sleep.
