Reiley: You guys are funny when you want a new chapter.

X: I own nothing.

We walked to small pond on the outskirts of Ombra and I sat on a rock. Dustfinger walked to the water and put a cloth in the water then handed it to me.

"What were you thinking Rei?"

"I don't know. I'm headstrong, I don't like people telling me that I can't do something."

"Well I knew that."

"Then why'd you ask."

He went silent and stared at the water. Sahana came up to me as I washed the scratches on my arms and face. She curled up on my lap almost like she was trying to comfort me. Dusty turned to me with a sad face.

"Rei, while you were up there, Meggie found me and told me that your mother and father were here."

"What! How? Why?"

"The magpie had a reader with her..."

"Cheeseface." I said scowling. His eyebrows furrowed at the sound of me calling Orpheus that.

"How did..."

"Farid."

"Anyway, the Magpie shot Silvertongue, Reiley. They aren't sure he'll pull through." My eyes widened and I was speechless. Mo, my father, had been shot, and is dying.

"Where is he?"

"That's the thing. The Adderhead raided the camp, your father was there. They took him."

"Your telling me this now!?" I said.

"You would have been mad at me any way. I figured that if I told you before you would've lost concentration and gotten hurt."

"Since when do you care?"

"I've always cared!"

"This isn't going to work Dusty."

"Why not."

"Roxanne." I said simply and stalked off towards Motley Folk's central tent.

"Just follow the path to the South. It should take you to the Adder's castle. Good luck, Reiley." The Black Prince said when I asked him how to get to the Adderhead's castle.

"Thanks." I pulled myself into the saddle and turned to see Dusty doing the same, "Where are you going?"

He raised an eyebrow at me, "Where do you think. You may be mad at me, but Silvertongue would be even more mad at me if I let you get hurt." I rolled my eyes and tapped the horses side with my heels, setting off for the Adder's castle.

"Well this will be one silent ride." I remarked.

X: So this is as far as it's going cuz I want the next chapter as it's own.

Reiley: Ah I love this next part.

X: You think they've figured out I just make it up as I go along?

Reiley: I don't know.

X: Read and Review!!!
