Zahir was starting to get a little unnerved by Alexas's silence. He saw the gates of the Black City looming in the distance. They would be there soon. He saw a flicker in the corner of his eye. What was that? Hm, well it's gone now. Must be nothing. However, even as he thought it, he knew it wasn't true and it was something, something important.
"Wow." Came Kel's awed voice.
"Yeah. It's beautiful, though I'm not a big fan of black… to much of it in—"Alexas caught herself just in time. What if they knew what I was! They would hate me forever, and just because Yolan (is that his name?) was with a mortal. She thought bitterly. Yolan… If it wasn't for him…
"Alexas come on, we've got to keep going." Zahir's voice was slightly impatient
"Alright…"
"Is she okay?" Kel asked Zahir
"I don't know, you're the people person, not me." He hissed back.
"Do you even know where we are going?" Alexas asked from behind them.
"Well… um.." Zahir stuttered.
"No. We're just moving by instingct." Kel said for him.
"Yeah…" Alexas was having a bad feeling…
"Guys, we're not alone!" she had to scream it over the grinding of the black stones. When their vision cleared, they saw that they were in the center of a circle on the ground. A huge figure walked out of the shadows. It-She?- had blood-red nails and flaming hair to mach it.
"Sister Alexas, welcome back. I knew you wouldn't let us down. Those silly mortals thought one with violet eyes was The Burning-brightly One! And," she began to laugh,
"And they thought they would get rid of us!Ha! Now," she said, now over her hysterics.
"Why are you two here?"
"We-we came about the people killed here." Kel said.
"Ah, yes. That is a problem." her eyes started to cloud over.
"It is not us, so you know. It is those dreaded Tiwolves. They are an unfortunate cross of a tiger and a wolf." She explained at their confused looks.
"Now, back to business. We need your help to get rid of them, so we can go back to being mortals, we may hate most of them, but it is fair better then being trapped here forever. So you know, Alexas and the rest of us," it was then that they saw other things like her in the shadows,
"Are not full Ysandir, we are half mortal as well. Will you help us?" she begged. Zahir and Kel looked at each other, then at Alexas, who as well had the pleading look in her eye. One look from Kel said it all. This was what they were here for.
"Yes." They said in unison.
"We will."
"Thank you" she whispered.
