Tsi Sgili's POV

"You almost ruined us!" The Tsi Sgili snarled. Dawn remained silent the whole trip back to their lair in the cave.

Anger fumed beneath her breast bone, as the woman refused to meet her gaze. The tsi Sgili lashed out and struck Dawn on the jaw. She didn't so much as stumble back and call the tendrils of darkness. Instead she gazed down intently at slate floor.

"Are you listening to me!" The Tsi Sgili shouted in her ear, hard enough to see the heat from her breath condense on Dawn's pale cheek.

"What is going on?" Ryina on of the Tsi Sgili witches asked as she snaked out of the darkness. Her big round brown eyes innocent and laced with curiosity.

"Go and rest!" Tsi Sgili barked.

A cruel lizard like smile curl up on her red lips. "I was never resting, tell me have we spilled the wrong blood tonight" She licked her lips as she stepped further out of the darkness.

"If you wasn't my sister I would have killed you, for even breathing this air tonight. Leave us now" The tsi Sgili hissed.

Ryina chuckled seductively as she began to walk away. "I have a human man entertaining me any way."

There was a short moment when silence from the night and the cave combined. "You almost ruined us" The Tsi Sgili repeated for the seventh time.

"You were no different to me Eros!" Her face suddenly became enlightened with tears. The wind teared between her fingers before the Tsi sgili slapped Dawn.

"Don't you dare weep, weeping are for weak fools" she then began to turn away. "We are done for tonight' she waved her hand dismissively.

"So you never wept for Cain!" Dawn yelled. "You've never muttered his name in your sleep, or found yourself wondering back to the first place you met".

"How dare you!" She shrieked, her hands clasped firmly around Dawn's neck. The woman didn't struggle.

"You spy on meee!" the Tsi Sgili hissed. Blinking pass her blurry tears. Between clenched teeth Dawn spat back. "You love him".

The Tsi Sgili screamed a sickening cry as she released her grip around Dawn's neck. Dawn crumpled to the ground choking on her breath.

"You do not want to break his heart, that's why you never killed Zoey when she was a child after her mother's death." Dawn said shakily.

The Tsi Sgili woman screamed again as she pounded Dawn with her fist. Beating away at any limb, mindlessly with anger and sorrow.

Dawn didn't struggle at the blows. "Why do you go after the youngest?" Dawn cried.

The Tsi Sgili struck her in the face. "Because she keeps getting in the way" She screamed as her fist cracked against Dawn's jaw. She cringed back her amber eyes narrowed as her hand wiped across her bloody face.

"You lie!" She shouted. Her white teeth stained with her own blood. Dawn spat on the floor.

The Tsi Sgili booted her in the face, Dawn fell back in a pool of her own blood. She could feel the eyes of her sister's on her as she marched towards Dawn. She pulled her up by her hair and snarled down at her bleeding face. "You messed up, the youngest should have been dead, and you've always messed up with her!"

"I never thought I'd see the day when you Nerilla would hesitate to kill." She laughed raspily. The Tsi Sgili struck her again. "I never hesitate the youngest should not have had Cronus in the woods. You should have killed her then before she recalled on her ancient power to protect herself and the child. But instead you only wounded her. Now her family is constantly watching her! You let your pathetic love for Eros almost destroy everything were worked for. And when the youngest attacked from the skin of a wolf you let her! You would have been dead if I hadn't wiped away her human memories!"

"Maybe I long for death" Dawn said.

"You're a foolish child!" The Tsi Sgili struck her again.

Shakily she wiped at her bleeding nose "And you in the death valley should have killed Zoey before she went to battle with her siblings. But you didn't. You didn't the day her training began when she crept out into the woods. Instead you lurked in the dark shadows admiring your old lover" Dawn said.

In raged with furry the Tsi Sgili pulled her dagger out from inside her dress, and plunged it down into Dawn's gut. Dawn stared up at her with patient eyes. Her pale white skin paled to the degree that she looked translucent against her blood soaked skin.

Her lips wept more blood as they curl up in a triumphing smile. "You are no different to me and Eros" Her body became limp and useless.

Slowly the Tsi Sgili lifted herself from over Dawn's broken body. Closing her eyes she drew in the deep breaths. "Take her body as a sacrifice" She spoke to the swarming tendrils. She opened her eyes and faced her sisters who were eagerly awaiting her next commandment.

Just before the moonlight touched her tanned skin, stood the Cherokee girl. Her silver eyes shone out from the darkness.

"Your father is indeed powerful" The Tsi Sgili said considerately. The woman nodded.

"Keep Eros away from Zoey" She said abruptly.

"With pleasure" The woman smiled.

"You will take Dawn's place, hope that you will do a better job than her. Or you will share the same faith"

The woman raised her brows and stepped into the moonlight. "I am immortal now, Cain's immortal blood beats within my veins, I will never share that faith"

The Tsi Sgili smiled wickedly, "Then your fears will destroy you, define me and you will wonder the rest of your long, long years alone."

The immortal hissed. "You can never take Eros from me!".

The Tsi Sgili whipped her finger at the woman a long thread of darkness latched on to the girls smooth skin. She laughed as the woman screamed in terror, feeding of her fear she replied

"Then you will do as your told even if that means murdering your family" She smiled and moved down out of the mouth of the cave.

"Maybe little Nerilla should pay my father a visit" The woman called after her sarcastically. Ignoring the pain in her heart she countered back. "Maybe I will pay Eros a little visit!"

She laughed at the woman's frantic deranged screaming, knowing full well where feet would take her.

Spiro POV

It had taken him most all of the night to travel by scent through the woods, to uncharted lands. He never paid much attention in tracking, while he and his brother's strolled through the lands. Spiro cringed away from the moon beams he remained there silently lurking in the shadows. Watching the fallen one through the silver birch forest from across a little stream. This man was a lot bigger than his father, Power wise. He could practically see power over flowing out of him, and his son. The man Taranis as Kama described to Spiro nights ago, was not his favourite. The man was muscular with almost lanky build. His skin so bronze from countless hot summers much like Spiro's . The man Taranis seemed intimidating but not in a way that Spiro could ever fear him. Spiro had too long been under the shadow of Rican his father's favourite, to tell the fallen one did not favour Taranis.

He didn't really know why it was urgent to speak to the brothers; he just let his feet and their scent carry him forward. So here he was lurking in the darkness watching the fallen one and his son retreat back into their tents for the night. Sleep hadn't dawn on him until till now so when the wind rustled and the Bold Eagle landed in a little patch of moonlight he was relieved.

Slowly he crept out from his hiding place, watching the eagle shudder soundlessly the feathers burst forth from his body, it shrouded the Eagle in a thick curtain. As the feathers drifted to the ground Lith lay naked on the grassy floor, his golden sliver rimmed eyes widen as he gazed up at Spiro. Silently the raven mocker inclined his hand to help the immortal up.

"Wait over there" Lith whispered as he pointed back to the silver birch forest. Spiro nodded and stalked back to the trees. Shortly after a few moments wait a short skinny grey brown wolf, slightly shorter than any of other shape shifters pranced out of the trees. He shuddered unnaturally, his fur rolled into tanned skin. The naked boy crept round Cain's tent and slide into the tent Lith sheltered in. A chilling wind whipped at his sides as he watched, for what seemed like an eternity before Lith and the boy came from the tent fully clothed.

Both their faces grim and guarded. He couldn't help but feel a strong sense of uncomfort. Lith crossed his path his piercing gaze narrowed. His eyebrows raised expectantly, his fist clenched. He towered over Spiro the man must have been at least 6ft 4. And the boy just as tense as his brother, though his strong features through the face of a man looked youthful at the same time. He was definitely the youngest half breed Spiro had ever met. Like his brother Felix, Spiro could tell the boy took pleasure in laughing. He was not fully immortal as his eyes still glistened slightly with amber.

Spiro cleared his throat quickly and said. "Is Kama well?"

"My little sister is trapped in the body of a wolf, does that sound well to you?" Lith said folding his arms over his chest.

"I mean has she been harmed?" he ducked his head quickly, staring down at his dirty human feet.

"No" Lith said just as quickly.

The boy shifted uncomfortably. Spiro glanced up at him quickly.

"There is something you're not telling me" He said shakily.

Lith narrowed his eyes. "I don't think I know you well enough to tell you everything" He snapped.

Spiro ignored the pain in his chest and said "If you think I did that to her then I didn't, I would never harm Kama. Never!"

"Enough!" Damon darted through the trees. "Do you arses want to wake father!" He hissed through his teeth. The boy made a weird squeaky sound.

"Chaos go to bed" Damon said. When the boy Chaos hesitated Damon growled. Hastily he retreated back the way we came.

Damon narrowed his eyes at his brother and snorted as he made his way towards us.

"Where is she?" Spiro asked wasting no more time.

"Safe" Damon replied. Examing his nails looking like he'd rather be elsewhere.

"I didn't hurt Kama I would never cause her harm". Spiro spoke pleadingly.

Lith snorted.

"I went after Zoey after the Tsi Sgili women throw her into the sea-" He stopped abruptly.

"Who is Nerilla?"

The two brothers frowned at him. Their expressions imitating the other.

"Father's old lover, I know that Kama told me." Spiro said answering his own question as he stared down at his human looking hands.

"Kama said the leader was Nerilla, the Tsi Sgili" He looked back up at the immortals. Their faces expressionless, the only glimpse of emotion on their faces where the tenseness around the mouths.

A tight knot twisted in Spiro stomach, glancing between the two of them, he knew this was not a subject that they openly discussed. Damon was the first to move he glanced around them as if afraid they were being listening on.

"Nerilla" He said in a quick whisper, a shiver curved up his body, Damon ran his hand through his thick long hair. Suddenly looking old and very very tired, with an exhausted sigh he continued.

"She was human in a way" he said finally. "A maiden from the Cherokee tribe, father had explain" He shivered again.

"She was the purest person you'd ever meet" He closed his eyes. "She was like a mother to us all; she'd take care of us all"

"So she was your father's slave?" Spiro interrupted. Lith muttered something inaudible.

"No!" Damon said sounding exasperated, like the very thought of slavery of Nerilla was personal insult to him. "She was father's lover." His tone had gotten hard,

"I know that but happened why is she Tsi Sgili?" Spiro cried.

"I wouldn't really say it was father's fault that she "died". Lith said taking a step towards them. "There isn't much to say about Nerilla but four major points."

Lith held up four fingers counting down as he spoke. "One is that one day the Tsi Sgili kidnapped her for fun and tortured her driving her mad. Two is that they forced her to into killing her unborn child, but thanks to the immortal blood in the child's veins Mya survived. Three is that Nerilla had immortal blood in her veins through she is no half breed, but is just outside of being completely human. Four they burned her alive".

Lith finished looking a ghostly shade of white. "I don't know what you thought you might have seen or heard but Nerilla is dead".

"What makes you so sure you said yourself the maiden had immortal blood in her, perhaps that saved her." Spiro said.

"Nerilla was human, not even a half breed could resurrect themselves". Damon said blankly.

"I've seen that woman the Tsi Sgili I watched her slit my mother's throat. With her pale skin brown hair, she is not Nerilla"

"How can you be so certain?"

"Because she is dead!" Damon shouted angrily. Lith retreated quickly to his side rested his hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Easy brother" He shot Spiro the look that said "Enough".

"Does Mya know that the Tsi Sgili is her mother?" Spiro asked.

"No father said it was better for her to think her mother was dead" Lith said. "Father found Mya as a baby broken in pool of Nerilla's ashes, she is by blood my half-sister and she should never know about this"

Spiro moved towards Damon peering up into the immortals eyes. "I did not mean to anger you. I know this that this leader of the Tsi Sgili she has a past to her, and she wasn't thrilled about being called Nerilla. Now the past has a way of catching up with us all." Damon's nostrils flared and his fist clenched.

"She is responsible for what happened to Kama. I would never hurt her but this Tsi Sgili woman has and would no doubly do it again"

Damon glanced away from Spiro suddenly looking young and very stubborn. "You feel that strongly about my little sister?"

"Yes" Lith gave him a hard look.

"So we will find and watch the Tsi Sgili woman?" Lith frowned." That is a lot of Darkness"

Cronus POV

Despite the light caress of the warm summer breeze that stirred under my immobile wings. And the Beautiful scenery surrounding us, I still felt as low as the muck squelching beneath my feet. I sighed as we crossed from one valley and back into the golden lit forest. Where the birds sang their pointless mocking songs.

She carried to call out aunt Kama's name, over and over again. My mother. While I waved the piece of deer flesh around, futile hoping aunt Kama's wolf would follow its scent. I did not really have a clue to where I was going. Father never let me beyond our own land other than the Northern spring. Spiro said one day maybe when I was a little bit bigger he'd take me some where south.

I sighed again poking at my dead wings. "Aunt Kama!" I cried over the stupid bird songs glancing back at my mother who staring fondly at her stomach. She had been doing that all day. I wondered now and then if she'd ever remember me. The thought were random tears stung in my eyes as she stared blankly up at me. Her smile was slow and unsure almost sickly, before she retreated back to rubbing at her stomach, which seem a little big.

She took another bite out of the plum we picked for lunch. Slowly I walked towards her, my eyes set on the tiny lump.

"Cronus? Are you okay?" She spoke as if singing a beautiful song. Though she had worry in her voice.

"Cronus?" She asked again snapping me out of my daze. I reached up and took the plum from her hand. Her golden eyes widened in shock as she watched me take a bite from it.

Around my huge mouthful I said"You are getting fat" The plum tasted sour and bitter. As I swolled forcing the mouthful down my throat as I rolled the plum away from the both of us.

"I was hungry, and I am not fat I'm pregnant" She stepped pass me. I suddenly felt the urge to vomit.

'

"Pregnant!" I clutched at my stomach, it felt watery and squidgy.

"Yes" She said delightfully. The plum felt like a hard rock rolling down my throat.

"But you and father only-"

Mother whirled around a snarl on her beautiful face. "I would never think about letting your father near me! Kalona is my only love; he is my baby's father!" I felt cold inside, like someone had taken my soul and blood away from me and left me in a shell of myself.

"But" I said immediately stopping myself. All the colours in the sky turned dark like my world. I wonder if father knew. That she didn't love him.

She turned back to me her eyes widen, in a blink of an eyes she was suddenly crouched down beside me. Her warm hands flowed across my hair; I looked up into her golden eyes.

"I want to go home" It came out as a small whisper. Mother nodded and pulled me into her arms, as if I was as light as a feather.

We were stepping through the borders back into our meadow, when movement caught my eye to the left of us. It was father's wolf lying in the grass with uncle Lith. My hand gently rested on mother's forearm before she began backing away.

"It is just father and uncle Lith" I held on to her tightly guiding the both of us closer. Uncle Lith's Sliver ear's shot right up his body lifted up into a sitting position. Father turned his wolf head slowly in our direction, mother whimpered as he did.

"Father what is wrong?"

"Don't you ever run off like that again" His wolf barked as he climbed to his feet.

"But father we were looking for-"

"Kama is alive and well and safe with Felix do not go looking for her again. Cronus!"

Anger tears crept down my cheek. "I thought you cared about her! I thought she was family!" I didn't mean to shout but my anger got the better of me.

Father's wolf whined softly as he met mother's gaze. "It is not safe out there Cronus there is reasons why I do not want you out unprotected".

I glanced up at mother by the blank expression on her face; I could tell that father was keeping our conversation private.

"But mother can protect-"

"Ask for protection from a woman who barely knows herself. I did not raise you to be so foolish, think clearly my son" His words stung but I knew he was right.

"There are dangers out there, beings who want to capture and kill you, because of who you are. Here with me is where you are safe. Do you understand?" I bowed my head respectful. "Yes father"

"Cronus" her finger tucked neatly under my chin as she forced me to look up at her. Her smile was as brilliant as the nights stars. Softly she dragged her thumb over my cheek." You are weeping, for something that should never be sad" She said softly. She bent low and kissed the top of my head.

"When you are big and strong you can do whatever you want. But until then listen to your father" She whispered into my hair.

"So you are not leaving?"

She laughed softly "Where would I go?"

I felt my eye begin to water again as I smiled up at her. "You need a mother and if you wish I will be just that".

"But you are-" I stopped when her honest smile turned confused.

"Thank you".

Zoey POV

As the day was drawing to a close I found him north of the meadow. His back was to me and for that I was grateful. I didn't like the way one look at him had my stomach feeling uneasy like the way that happen with Kalona. My feet fell into an uneven beat as I drew closer to him.

"What will you call it?" The winged one asked not looking from the fading daylight sky. And again I was grateful for that. As I crept to my knees down beside him making sure we never touched, I snuck a painful look at him. He reminded me of Kalona though their features were completely different, but had the same awe struck effect on me. It was then that I realised that he was waiting for my answer; my skin grew warm instantly I hated him for taking that gift from Kalona, but when his golden eyes shifted to meet mine that hate dissolved away.

"Oh. I never thought about it" I said quickly nibbling at the inside of my bottom lip.

He looked away but not before I saw the clear pain on his face. "Name it what you wish, the name won't stop me from hating it even less"

My eyes narrowed as looked at him. "My baby" I started he snarled. "My baby has done nothing to you"

The fallen one looked sharply at me his golden eyes a blazed with red scarlet. Instinct made me shifted away from him. "You mated with a monster! And that baby will grow up to be just like his father".

"Kind, passionate, gentle, caring!" I shouted. "You know nothing about Kalona-"

"I know more about him then you think!" He snapped The fallen one climbed to his feet without another word he stalked away.

"How dare you!" I moved after him half running as he already made it into the forest and moving up the hill.

"You think you know everything" I shouted after him. Pushing angrily past the branches that stuck out in my way.

He disappeared over the hill, flecks of orange light danced on the ground where he vanished. I was too angry to give a damn where he had gone, all I knew was that I was going after him. I reached the top of the hill a short second later; he was at the centre of what seemed like a giant earthen bowl. It adorned with wet green grass, and the trees stood tall around the boarded of the bowl. To the centre of the bowl was a small pool, wide enough to dip your feet in. A soft trickle of water flowed down from over the over side of the hill, filling the little bowl. The fallen one was bent over the little bowl, his finger running roughly through the water. I moved towards him, he grunted as he heard me approach.

"You think you can know a man in the space of one week. Your wrong A-ya" His face twisted angrily as he watched me. I hesitated then when he called by my name, not once since he kidnapped me had he ever called my by name.

"Live with a man for more than an eon and he can still surprise you. Look!" He pointed at the rippling water. Colours and images sparkled in the glowing daylight.

"What are you showing me?"

"Your precious Kalona" He spat out the words as if they were poison on his tongue.

The water rippled once more before a beautiful meadow came into view. I peered down at the water.

All of a sudden she came into view. With her bright golden hair, and intricate sun like tattoos on her smooth skin. The woman Hemera, dressed in a roman looking silver dress. She was laughing as she walked along side two Angels, both with dazzling bright white wings. With a sharp sense of recognition she realised she was staring at the fallen one beside her.

"Draco" The woman Hemera laughed. "Tell me Eros my warrior was that true" Hemera starred foundly up at her black eyed warrior. His smile was bright and beautiful. I looked from the pool to Draco." What does this have to do with Kalona?"

"Watch". He said. I looked back at the pool the image had changed. I was watching Draco and the black eyed one "Eros". They were gazing up at the stars in wonder as Draco had been doing before I joined him. Eros sighed dropping his head; "Would you think badly of me if I told you I love her" Draco stared worriedly at Eros. "The stars?" He smiled" They have always been beautiful but to love them.-" Eros shook his head weakly smiling as he did, when Draco lightly shoved at his shoulder. He sobered and looked Draco in the eyes.

"Hemera" He whispered her name as if she were a soft poem. Draco's eyebrows drew together, "Eros are you well?" though there was faint smile on his lips.

Eros turned fully around and faced Draco. "I love her, more than life itself, more than this world"

"Eros you fly too high to the sun, clearly the heat has picked at your brain" Draco leaned closer to him resting his arm on Eros' shoulder. "Enough for today we should retire to our chambers, clear your head"

"I want to be with her always Draco" He said insistently, sounding as if he was pleading for Draco to understand. "I want you to help me break my oath to her" Draco pulled away looking as if Eros had physically hit him. "Eros" He sounded hurt and confused.

"So I can become her loving consort" He grasped Draco by the shoulder.

"You're mad. No good will come from this, Warriors are Warriors and only that to their goddess."

"I could be both" He sounded beyond desperate.

"No! This is not wise; retire to your chamber think clearly" Draco spun away from him. The pool rippled again this time Draco was running through the meadow towards a brilliant looking temple. The last of the sunlight moved from the earth. As he chased after two figures the first one moved into the temple. Draco dashed forward almost tripping as he slammed into the closed temple door.

Kalona smiled darkly as Draco looked up at him. "What have you done!" He snarled at Kalona. "I gave him nothing but courage" Kalona said simply as he moved to the temple window. Draco stormed after him, "You have doomed him" He hissed. In the temple sat Hemera and directly opposite her sat what appeared to be her opposite. The woman was dressed in a dark robe. Her black hair flowing down her back. like Hemera she was amazingly beautiful, with strangely kind black eyes.

"Nyx Hemera mother" Draco explained.

"But they look nothing alike"

"Hemera is the personification of daylight and Nyx the personification Night, they are not meant to look the same"

Hemera looked up at them both her confused gaze passed from one angel to her mother. " Eros what are you doing here?"

Nyx looked just as startled. Eros dropped to his knees before her daughter. Hemera rose as he did.

"My goddess I come to you asking this only request. I wish to break the warriors bond that binds us" For a second Nyx looked relieved.

"So that I may ask to be your consort".

"Eros" Hemera said softly.

"How dare you! You obviously don't know your own place warrior. You swore your sword to my daughter to protect her."

"I know Nyx but I-"

"Don't you dare, you are unfit to protect my daughter"

"Mother" Hemera said sharply reaching for Eros' hand. Nyx dragged Hemera away by the wrist.

"And therefore unfit to protect her from yourself you are un well warrior. Consider your oath broken, stay away from him Hemera"

Hemera looked taken aback as Eros cried out. The two goddess vanished in the same shards of light Hemera evoked in my dream.

The pool rippled again. This time it shimmered back the soft pool water. I glanced up at him.

"You hate a man for giving bad advice?"

Draco narrowed his eyes at me. "He turned my own brother against me. He persuaded Eros to confront Nyx Erebus banished him! Ultimately feeling bad for the man she grew up with. Hemera exiled herself to sharing the same fate. So here we are A-ya stuck in a world in the brink of war, with that demon's monster growing in your womb" He grunted then. "And I'm forced to welcome it into my family!"

He stood this time talking down at me. "You may stay my love. Look after the demon you call a child. Feed it what you wish let it grow. I don't care what you do, but know this I will always protect my son, and I will not allow your child to corrupt mine."

Okay So I that was it I really didn't know what to say for this little chapie. But review any ways
