"I've lost so many things in my life, but the one I regret the most is loosing the chance to possibly be your mate," she said between deep breaths, she was pressing lightly into Goldenscale, "I reason I didn't want to take the toy yesterday wasn't because I can't keep up with things, it was because i knew it would remind me I was too late."

"It's never too late to love, but that is not what I'm too late for. I'm too late to appeal to you as a mate. Tieral got to you first and dashed whatever hope I had for that outcome," she said, starting to calm down, "You were like a perfect diamond, but someone picked you up before I could see."

((wait I'm confused, what's happening?))

(Goldenscale is finding out some things as is Ricken my new character. It began last page or the page before that.) Ricken had come back, ready to set his plan to action. "A-Ahnah? C-could I...speak to you...for a moment? I-I know this m-may not be a g-good time, but..." he stammered, trailing off. As he spoke his cheeks began to become bright shades of pink.

"Sure.... What is it," Ahnah asked with a sigh, slowly slipping from Goldenscale's hug to hear what Ricken had to say.

"I k-know this will -would- sound insane, but I...I was...I...oh...." he stammered, instead bringing out the flowers he had picked earlier and holding them out to Ahnah. He was too shy to speak, so he let his actions take over.

"They're beautiful. I'm sorry if this hurts, but you're not my type. We can still be friends though," Ahnah taking the flowers and looking them over before handing them back, "Don't feel bad, your not the first guy I've turned down, and certainly wont be the last. Some just don't get that i'm not interested in guys after the first time they get rejected."

"Here, let me get that off for you," Tieral said, setting Alekai down on a branch and jumping down to help remove the muzzle. "These rogues are getting rediculous. I found several sneaking around Mayumi's and Frost's place. They found out the power Mayumi wields the hard way," he said, breaking the latch on the muzzle before pointing to the burnt husks propped against a boulder, "Since I've been unable to sense or find Ahnah, I fear they might have got her and locked her up somewhere."

"They are going to be hell bound in the next five minutes.  All of them..." she said angrily running off to where most of the auras were outside the boundary.  She wasn't going to tolerate this anymore.  They were going to die, whether they want to or not.

"Wait, this may be what they're wanting you to do. They could be leading you into a trap," he said, running along side Goldenscale, "Don't let your anger get the best of you. It would be smart to scout them out first."

"I'm not going to sit by while they try to kill my family.  You, Ahnah, and Metraz are considered my family, and I won't tolerqtre them.  I destroyed two demons, who says I can't destroy them." she said, almost out the barrier.

"I'm not saying you shouldn't do anything about them, I'm saying you should be careful. They could have a trap made just for you set up," Tieral said, "It wouldn't do you any good to get yourself caught in a mgic snare.Can you at least consider getting help first? Even if you don't need it, a little help will go a llong way in protecting both yourself and those you wish to protect."

"So Ricken, where are you from," Ahnah asked, walking to the edge of the lake, "The family crest in the front of your book seemed very familiar."
