::His answers to her questions were not forth coming. He looked as if he were in a trance. Shaking her head, she walked back to the tent and left him ponder the meaning of life. Grabbing her cloak, she wrapped her self in its warmth and and laid down next her son. Things were so different now then they had been two years ago. All she wanted was to live in darkness and hope they never found her::

She had no idea what time it was when she woke up. It felt like days. Peering outside it was still dark but she had no idea what day it was. Cambridge was still sleeping soundly next to her. It couldn't have been days. He had not been up to eat yet and that was the one thing he never missed. Breakfast. Gathering her cloak around her, she stepped out of the tent and nodded to the imps standing guard. Without a word, she walked to horse and rubbed his nose. He knew instantly that they were going for a ride. She climbed up onto his back and settled her self. The imps would take care of her son. These three were loyal to her and she trusted them with his life. Giving her horse a soft kick in the side, she was off. She knew where she was going. She had dreamed about him again and something in her just had to go and see once more the place they met. Dawn was streaking across the sky as GoldenMyst appeared. She honestly did not know if she would get past the front gate since she had not been here in months. She stopped her horse and slid off, her feet barely making noise as she hit the ground. Tying the reins to a tree, she walked up to the doors and pushed them open. She made her way to the main hall and was a little surprised that no one was there, but in a way she was happy too. It gave her the peace she wanted to wonder before she left again. Slowly walking thru the hall and out into the gardens, she was able to make her way to the beach. Sitting upon the sand, she watched as the sun began to light the day. She would not be able to be out long and began looking for the cave. Finally finding it, she looked for the stores she had buried here over a year ago. Finding the rock that would serve as a marker, she dug in the cool sand until she could wrap her hands around the bottle of bloodwyne. Taking a long swallow, she propped her self against the rock and thought of him. She missed him deeply and wondered where he was and if he ever thought about her. Did he know how much she loved him? She has not seen or spoken to him since the day he told her to leave. She absently drew symbols in the sand and softly spoke his name. She knew he would not show but she could dream. Even demons had their dreams.

Silently she moves through the sand. Strange how one can be woken by something out of the blue and made to leave a warm bed and one's fiance'.
The emotions clawed at her until she rose and dressed, making her way down from the north and to the beach. She didn't know why until she rounded the corner of some high rocks and saw Tempest sitting on her arse in the sand, bottle in hand. Stopping a few feet from her, one hand on the rocks, leaning slightly as she looks down at the pathetic form of her friend.
"No one knows where he is, you know. Not even Caelum knows at this point. And if anyone would know, it would be him."
Before Tempest could even speak, she crouches down next to her, reaching for the bottle of bloodwyne.
"You know you can't dwell on this. You have a son to care for. He's the love of your life now and he needs you. Not some withering shell of the mother he loves. Now get up. Good Gods, you're so emotional that it actually dragged me out of bed. You really need to learn to contain your feelings."
A half grin, half smirk as she stands and holds her hand out to Tempest.
"C'mon. Sitting here does you no good. Let's go get your horse and we'll ride back to your son. We'll talk on the way."

She gave a low growl as she snatched the bottle from her. Giving a sigh, she leaned back and looked up at her. “I know that no one knows where he is. No one has seen or heard from him and what the hell does Caelum have to do with this and whoa back up there for a minute. I thought Cae was dead. What the hell have I missed?” She does miss a lot these days. All her attention focused on Cambridge. “And I am not dwelling. I am thinking. Hard. I miss him.” She looked up, ice blue hues pale and shrugged. “I love him. There. All out in the open.” She stood and wiped the back of her pants off. “I love my son Gelina but there are moments where I need time to breath. I am not a shell. I can still kick someone’s ass if need be but when it comes to Ash I can’t help it.” Taking Gelina’s hand, she swung it back and forth. A small smirk crossing her features. “I would love a ride. You won’t believe how big he has gotten. My horse is tied up in front of the castle. Which by the way is deader then death.” She stopped for a second and giggled. “Does that even make sense?”

She laughs as Tempie snatches the bottle back.
"Aye, Cae was dead. Not anymore. He's alive and well and in my bed." Smirks at her, but that healthy glow of love was in her bright emerald eyes.
"He'd know, because Ash was one of his closest friends. I can ask him if you'd like." Then watching her get up she wrinkles her nose.
"You don't think that I knew you loved him? Hello? I was dead remember? I could see everything from the other side. Why do you think I didn't hold it against you when I found out that Cambridge was Ryu's? I knew where your heart was." Not that she gave a rat's ass about Ryu anymore, she finally had the man she was supposed to be with.
As Tempest swings her hand, she chuckles softly. "You truly are silly sometimes. I think that's what I like about you." Pauses at the mention of the castle. "As for the castle, aye, it makes sense. I know not what's going on there. I've been with Caelum up north. Hell I don't even know where Nicho is. "
With that, she turns, with Tempest in tow, and walks back to her horse before walking to get Tempest's horse at the gates.

"Whoa you mean he came back form the dead?"She lowered her voice. "Is he like a zombie or something now?And he is where? And I knew him and Ash were friends but I did not know they were that close. And how the hell did I know you were watching.
I didn't mean to fall in love with the peckerhead. And then his bitch of a wife comes back and man what a damn mess.
And as for that ass Ryu. He took advantage of situation and then comes riding in thinking he can take over. Well let me tell you he has another thing coming. " She was on a roll now.
Still swinging Gelina's hand back and forth as they started walking to Gelina's horse. "I have to be silly. Its me. And I am special." She stuck her tongue out and giggled again.
"And as for the castle, did you ever get the feeling nothing is right there anymore? You don't know where Nicho is? Now that is strange. I have been south in the forest. But I think it is time for me to head home. So come on let's go."

She grins. "You heard me. He's in my bed. Well, technically it's his bed. You know, the one your emotional self dragged me out of?" Shakes her head.
"And no, he's not a zombie. He was gifted with another chance by Odin himself. And he chose a life with me. Don't ask me how or why. All I know is the stubborn ass finally realized he loves me." Yeah, that pretty much summed it up.
Upon reaching her horse, she reaches into the saddlebag and pulls out an apple, twists it in half, and feeds it to Shadow.
"We don't have any control who we fall in love with, Tempest. You of all people should know that. Look at me for Goddess sake. I mean, why in the hell would I willingly love someone like Ryu?"
Rolls her eyes then sighs, taking the reins in her hand then takes up walking again smiling at Tempest's sillyness.
"There hasn't been anything right in the castle since the day Nicho married that little twit. Nicho turned 18 about a fortnight ago. Now there is nothing and no one that can say or do anything when it comes to his decisions." A heavy sigh comes after that.
"He doesn't know about me and Caelum yet. I don't know if he knows he's alive or not. Wait until he finds out that I'm marrying him." A low groan as she looks up at the bright blue morning sky.

“Ewww I so did not want to know about the whole bed thing. And I will not tell you I am sorry for dragging your dragon ass out of bed. Apparently this is the only way I see you since we are both not around here.”
She spread her arms wide, talking of GoldenMyst. “Another chance heh? Well I guess I would come back if I needed to. His stubborn ass? And what about your stubborn ass? And don’t tell me you’re not stubborn.”
She gave another sigh. “I know you can’t control love but why Ash? And as for Ryu please don’t get me started on his loser ass. Disappears and then comes back thinking he is taking my son. Not in this life time and I have all the time in the world.”
Immortality can do that ya know. She cast a glance at Gelina. “So I take it you are not so hip on the queen? I only met her twice. I got nothing from her. She was all right I guess. There was some guy bleeding all over the place. He smelled icy so I stayed away. And you know he is going to freak when he finds out about you and Cae. I still remember the whole election thing ya know.”
She was still swinging Gelina’s free hand as they continued to walk the path that would take them back to the castle. She knew Cambridge would be safe but he would not be happy baby til she got back to him.

She rolls her eyes. "Oh please... with little or no pressure at all, you would be more than willing to hear about my bedroom escapades." A sidelong glance at her with a smirk. "As for being stubborn? I knew I loved him, he was the one that was too stupid to see it until now."
She listens to her as they walk. She didn't realize that she had missed Tempest until now. Then what Tempie said next really got her attention.
"Ryu said he was going to do what?!" Lina stops in mid-step, staring at her friend. "Let me guess, take him away to train him, right?" Letting go of Tempest's hand, both hands moved to her slender hips. "You're right, not in this lifetime. He took Lai away from Raine. She left a child and came back a young woman. It almost destroyed Raine. If he comes near Cambridge, I'll kill him." Then came the mumbling under her breath as she resumes walking again.
"Son of a bitch thinks he can just litter this realm with all his offspring and then come back and take them whenever it suits him. Bastard won't get away with it this time, oh no, I don't think so. Let him come and try to do it again, I'll rip him limb from limb."
Beneath these words was a low growling as they came out. Her bright emerald eyes staring straight ahead as they walked. Finally after a moment of silence after the babbling, she looks at Tempest again as they approach the main gate of the castle.
"So, are you hungry? We could eat first before riding back. Do you have time?" A small smile forming as she walks through the main gates with a nod to a loan guard that stood alert.

Don’t roll your eyes at me. You really think I want to hear about you and Cae? Ew. Ew. But then I could always tell you about Ash and I.” This huge grin took over her features. Oh god goddess, she looked like a dork.
“And to be honest I am not sure which one of you is the most stubborn.” She had missed Gelina as well. She was a little freaked out as to what would happen when Gelina found out about Cambridge but it looked as if things were all right with them. She snapped out of her little daydream when Gelina let go of her hand and got snippy.
“Whoa back up there sparky. Yes that is what he told me but I am not going to let it happen. Didn’t he say the same thing to your little whore of a sister?” She bit her lip on that comment and waited for Gelina to hit her. She hated Desari with every fiber of her being. She did not know why but if that woman ever crossed her path Tempie would not play nice.
“Um so anyway. No growling. Everything will be fine. I am not letting him take my son. So there. He can kiss my ass. And yes I am starving. I have time. The imps will watch him and give him his oatmeal so he can break his fast. However if I am not around for naptime, all hell will break loose.
