Yamara paced her room in Victus with a water filled chalice on a table. She needed to contact Hekata about the twins disappearing, but she did not want to tell her about her failure to keep them on their leashes.

She knew that she would die soon with Lucian on the loose, and she feared Alli's power even more; but on the other hand, she new what Hekata would do to her. She knew the tortures she was in for. Hekata told her every single on and measured her fear to see what one would soot if she failed.

{But Lucian has even crueler ways to punish. He uses my own hunger for him against me, and, if he is anything like what the stories say about his father, I will beg for death and all he will do is keep it farther away from my grasp.}

She saw how much the two looked alike; she felt their anger and power building together, she had no doubt in her mind that they were father and son.

Yamara pricked her finger and let a drop of blood fall into the water. The blood withered and twisted as if in pain, then it spread. One drop of blood shouldn't be able to spread as much as this one did. It covered the entire surface of the boll. Before Yamara could even speak the words, the blood parted.

Hekata's face looked up at her. "You stupid, naive, insolent, little worm. Do you know what you've done? They went back to their family. They went back to the family that we tried to keep them away from. My protection is officially spent on you, Yamara. You either get them back, or you will die by either my hands or theirs."

Yamara nodded stupidly and the face disappeared.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Lucian walked out of his sister's room and walked to breakfast accompanied by Ludvarian.

Ludvarian is a small brown and white kindred dog. He is the only one of the kindred that can really explain anything between the species.

(Is the Lady ok?)

"She has physically healed, but she has not waken up yet."

(Do not worry, young Lucian. We had to go through much of the same thing with your mother. You pups are more like your parents in many ways. She will be ok.)

They walked into the breakfast room. Every one was there. Seatan, Jeanell, Kealas, Chiosti, Meanial, Khardeen, Deamon, Lucivar, Memphis, Surreal, Andulvar, and Kalush. The rest of the court was at their homes away from the Hall, and Cole was with Alliana.

Deamon asked, Is she...

No.

Lucian got a plate of food and sat down between Andulvar and Khardeen. Andulvar turned to him, "I have a favor to ask."

Lucian put down his fork and turned his full attention to him. "We have a new group of worriers in and I was wondering if you would put on a presentation and help out a bit."

"Sure, I need something to do anyway."

"Good, maybe you can go against Meanial. I remember how good you were when you a younger. Have you gotten better?"

"Yep. I beat Alli three times already in my choice of weapons."

He noticed Andulvar, Memphis, and Khardeen stared at him with humor in their eyes.

"Hey, that is saying a lot. When it's her choice of weapons, I wasn't ashamed every time I turned tail and ran. After she got the hand of the Elves's special swords, no one could beat her. After a while, no one even wanted to try."

They nodded their heads in amazement.

"How is Alli in weapons?" asked Lucivar.

"Like I said, no one can beat her. She has taken a lot from the Elves's knowledge. She has her own style of fighting. And, Alli has the two most powerful swords in the world. Two heavy, long swords with the most beautiful blades. One is made out of pure diamond. It as special spells on it so that one could use it to channel power. The other is pure mithril, the strongest metal in the world, and it has designs all over it. They can cut through flesh, bone, metal, rock, marble, anything really; and in her hands, they are deadly."

Before anyone could say anything else, Cole walked into the room. He walked towards Lucian.

(The Lady was having a bad dream. I tried to calm her and she pushed me, then the wall next to the bed. She is better now, but there is a hole on the wall.)

Lucian started to pet him and let the rest take in what that meant. The walls are made from rock from the mountain. If she could punch her fist through that in her sleep, then how strong is she really?

Breakfast was over and everyone went to whatever they had to do that morning.

Lucian fallowed Andulvar, Lucivar, Khardeen, and Memphis to the practice fields.

There was a bunch of young Eryian worriers standing in line.

Lucivar leaned against the fence. Lucian walked into the ring with Andulvar. The rest sat down on the railing.

"Alright everybody. I have a treat for you today. This is Lucian Sadiablo. He is Lucivar's nephew. He is here to show you what he can do to you if you piss me off."

He turned and yelled out, "Meanial, get your ass over here."

He came running.

Meanial and Lucian stood in front of each other, shirtless and sizing each other up. Meanial had sharp eyes and was very quick and strong. He could turn to a wolf and use his claws and teeth when he wanted to. Lucian was muscular and had his wings. Lucian was also a shapeshifter, something he picked up in the forest. He, and his sister, could turn into huge white tigers at will. Lucian was wearing his green Jewel; Meanial didn't have any.

Memphis threw them both a quarterstaff. "I want an impressive fight gentlemen. Now go!"

The two worriers jumped away from each other.

Meanial was in a crouched position, knees bent and muscles tense.

Lucian was standing, looked bored in his stance, but his golden eyes watched Meanial like a hawk.

Meanial was the first to strike. He went in hard and fast, but every one of his thrusts were blocked by Lucian's staff.

Lucian went on the offensive and started to make his own thrusts. Meanial blocked every one, but he was pushed back in his attempt. After a few seconds of fast thrusts and incredible blocking, Lucian landed a blow on Meanial's shoulder. Meanial landed one on Lucian's side.

Meanial stepped back in his crouched position. Lucian rolled his shoulders and held his staff out in front of them.

The dance started all over again.

Both wanted it to be over, knowing that at any moment, a fatal blow could be made. They both made a thrush with all their strength behind them.

The staffs shattered.

They went with fists.

Lucian punched without stopping. He kicked out and hit skin, but Meanial wouldn't give up. He dodged and blocked, taking a few, but giving twice as much.

Lucian sweeping Meanial's legs out from under him. He fell on his back, rolled from Lucian' incoming foot and flipped back up. They both jumped and kicked at each other's chests.

Both blows landed, sending them flying in different directions.

They both landed in their animal forms. Turning to each other, they snarled and growled.

Both attacked.

Teeth, fangs, claws, fur. No one knew who had the upper hand.

Suddenly, they stepped away from each other, admitting a draw. They turned to their human forms.

Both had scratched and bruises all over their bodies.

The crowd stared with wide eyes and open mouths.

Lucivar walked up to them and threw an arm around both their shoulders, ignoring their protests and whimpers. "Now, to explain this to Jeanell."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

What do you think of their fight? And I did make them shapeshifters. It would work so much better now. Please review.
