(My muse is gone now...)

"I hope so." she said.  

"If you want, I can go check on him real quick. I'm just as worried about im as you are," he said, looking up towards Goldenscale's home, "I don't want the wrong people seeing him."

"I think I'll go with you." she said, leaping on the ledge and opening the door.

"MOM," Alekai exclaimed when he saw Goldenscale enter the house. In only a few moments, he had climbed up so that her rested on her head.

"Only three hours and he's acting like you left yesterday," Mayumi said with a laugh, "He is a darling though. An active one at that."

She took him from her head and cradled him in her arms.  "I hear you've been good while I was gone." she said to Alekai.  "Thank's for watching him, Mom." she said to Mayumi.

Alekai gave a high mechanical chirp as he curled up in Goldenscale's arms.

"I might as well spend what time I can with him before I have my own charge to watch over," she said with a smile, "Only three days now."

"I have to go and do a couple more things.  Just thought I'd stop by to see what's going on." she said as she kissed Alekai on the forehead and set him down again.

"Wait, before you go. I have something to ask," she said. slowly stand so as to not knock of the quilt on her back, "I don't know if you've noticed or not, but three spirits have enter the cave. They came in a few moments before you got back here. Any clues as to who they are? I don't want to stick around if they have bad intentions, since I have at leasst two more lives to worry about."

"There good.  You don't need to worry about them." she said with a smile as she left the cave.  She was definitely going to get a scolding later when she found out she had taken on two demons alone.  She then caught up with Mira and Kokkorok.  "Is there anything you want me to do for you before I go about getting ready?" she asked both of them.

"You've already done so much for us today. I should be asking what I can do for you," Kokkorok said as he set Xis and Raira down, "I have reason to live again. If there's anything I can do for you, just ask."

"I just thought that since Kira was talking about regenerating their bodies or something like that earlier that I would he of some assistance." she said.  

"Mira and I were just talking about that. She knows there are rituals to do it, but they are mostly lost to time and nature, and that the easiest one to perform requires some human made materials," he said, watching the two hatchlings play, "I know the ritual she speaks of, but the materials need haven't  been made by humans in nearly a thousand years."

"What are they and what do they look like?  I might know where to find the materials." she said.  There was that chest that the willow brought up for Tieral she could look through.

"The only thing we can't make here is a gem made od spiritual powers specifically ment for holding souls. Most humans fell out of the practiice that used them long ago when they found out what necromance really was," he said, pulling a small scroll from his satchel and unravling it, "One would either need to find a powerful litch from those times, or find out how to make one on thier own."

"I can do that..." she said looking at the ground.
