<font color='#348781'>OOC: Damn you two. Slow down already and let me get in here. x_x K'uei dashed inside the cave just as the mountain of snow came barreling past. He was panting hard as he stared at the place where he once stood. If the female didn't see the cave, he...no they never would have made it out alive. Dark orbs glittered in the faint light of the cave like place. K'uei padded forward, following the two. His flamed tail kept the place lit softly as he padded along. Silvern bangs fluttered over his face and he ignored it. The large cerulean blue male suddenly felt himself slip on a patch of ice. K'uei almost fell but he extended his claws to come to a halt. Looking down, he stared at his reflection. There was a jab at his mind and suddenly, he was reliving a memory. ~*~ In his mind: "K'uei, hurry up will you." A dark green 'dragon said angerly. From behind a small tree darted a young version of K'uei. He stumbled over his paws as he caught up to his younger sister. She stared at him angerly and K'uei just grinned. Rolling her eyes, the dark green female continued on her way. K'uei paused now and then to sniff a flower or investigate a rock. It had grown close to nightfall and they had climbed higher in elevation. It wasn't winter so no snow littered the ground. K'uei sister had found a nice cave and they had spent the night there. During their stay, however, a large bear like creature had come across them and K'uei's sister fought it. She had fended it off but it left her with many a scar across her chest. Before they left, K'uei had marked the wall with some message. It was Ramathian. 'Sy fhyabaj jaupt shet: Rahemp sha jykc mauj sha amsjumka leat u gampums. Iyo nui suca es ev iyo feth ros jananraj shus es hylpt djaus nanyjeat... ~*~ K'uei snapped out of his reverie and looked around the cave. The young ruthless female had opened some sort of passage within the cave and had already gone inside. K'uei glanced at the other male before looking around at the caves interior once more. There, about 5 paces from him, was a scratched in message. With a smirk, K'uei walked back to the entrance and from behind a rock, he pulled a necklace with a large tooth strung around it. Red feathers dangled off as well. Clasping it about his neck, K'uei dashed off to follow the others.</font>
<font color='#32CD32'>He stumbled into the hidden chamber and found it to be full of gold and treasure from times long past. His eyes lit up dispite the lack of light in the chamber. His heart lept. This was the pay of he was hoping for. It seems this job would benifit him after all. "How did all this get here?" He asked truly curious. If he knew how it got in it may make it easier to get it out for his own use. The thought thrilled him. Gold! How wonderful! But how could he sneek it out with these two here? He shot a glance at the two that had fallowed his stumble into the hidden passage and wondered if they would even notice. He dared not touch the gold yet. He had already showed to much of an interest in it by asking it's origin. "Anyway, how are we going to get out of here?"</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Tusum's eyes flashed with amusement at the 'dragon’s concealed greed. he might not need such things as gold for very long... at the crude inquiry to the gold’s past she only shrugged off, for it was of no importance, not even to her. walking over swiftly to the chair and a rotting old wooden desk, she plopped her self solemnly in the chair, her long legs swinging, toned body twisted in a deliberately curving fashion. suddenly smiling she looked 'pon the odd, mysterious stranger then at the other 'dragon who had voiced the question. "There is no way out." a coldly lit gaze cycled in 180 turns to both, "though," her voiced breath was slightly abated, "you may take as much gold from here that you desire, I give you permission." the raven black coat looked dull in the dimness, only one candle sitting upon the deformed desk flickering across her childish beauty. looking over to the fire place she examined it only briefly before turning to her guests. "relax, take up a seat!" two chairs of crushed red velvet suddenly lay behind the two males. clapping her hands she lit the fire in the grate almost abstinently. a loud grinding sound was echoing around the cold, dull looking room. In the wall there was now a slate wooden door, large enough that it seemed to take four males to push it open, yet it creaked open with an almost windless breeze. “welcome to my, temple, really this is where I live," Tusum laughed despite her though as always the sound was hallow. “Suca omsy ni fell ump ramp yj feshaj ump vupa, fuesemd vyj sha pujcmatt sy tnyshaj sha lebemd." Her eyes went an almost white as she ended her speech. Suddenly the dull room was lit with dui finery, the walls warm with a bright orange, there was now a soft shag oriental carpet that lay ‘pon the polished wooden floor. There were small glass electric lamps that seemed to appear out of now where, the room screaming luxury. Tusum grinned as the things just seemed to fall out of thin air.</font>
<font color='#348781'>K'uei was rather amused at the complexity of the young female's home. The oriental rug under his paws was rather welcoming in a sence as he padded closer to her. Although there was still that feeling that something was out of place, K'uei shook it off for now. The necklace that hung over his deep chest made him feel safe and at home. It also made him miss his sister deeply. K'uei absentmindedly looked at the loot that Tusum had. Prehensile tail reached out and plucked a statue of another 'dragon off a shelf and placed it into his paws. The teen turned it over in his hands and ran a digit over the smooth surface. It was gold alright. Looking up, chocolate orbs became rather inquisitive. Placing the statue back on the shelf, K'uei hung back from his fellow companions. A greedy glint was evident in the other males eyes as he glanced over at him. So far, these aquaitances of his were beginning to worry him. The fire on the other side of the room danced with an almost malicious blaze and K'uei narrowed his eyes. Her voice ringed through the tall cavern and K'uei did a double take. She had brought them here on purpous and he could sence it. With a low growl he turned to her. You brought us here on purpous did you?! Your already dead so you have nothing to fear about being trapped in a cave. And if you thought for one second I didn't smell the death on you then you are one foolish little child. K'uei spat out his accusations with an icy tone. This...child was not going to let him die here.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>"Calm down." Tusum's laugh was rather hallow and her eyes were flashing with a cold anger, "I am not at all in any way dead..." she let her eyes follow his long length with a slight contempt, "but neither am I alive, I haven't been alive for a long time." her gaze settled on the floor. Suddenly an idea struck her. Flicking her long sable tail back and forth along the tail in an almost caressing manner. Fire light rolled across the valleys and hills of her face, it gave her features a sinister appearance, one tooth glinting from a side ways slant that curved her maw. “I was planning on something for you to do here, but decided against such a crude task." Tusum smiled coldly once again yet with her full absorption compared to her past indifference. “It’s a “project" that I would have you do." Deep aqua pools shimmered and danced with delight, “it’s called revenge." Tusum looked away to grip her cup of mocha latte that now steamed on the purple heartwood desk to her left, “it commences within three days, until that time," she spread her paws and looked about in an open fashion, “you may have everything you could ever wish for." Tusum’s voice was kind, yet held a threat in every syllable.</font>
<font color='#32CD32'>Cemd was startled at this turn of events. Revenge? He asked himself. What would she need him for. The answer came to him sudenly. She didn't even want him here. He was the one who joined their party so unknowing. He should have known that she was after something more then just money from this simpleton. Now what would he do? He would have to ponder on that later. Now was time to try and talk his way out, although he knew he couldn't. If she didn't want him there she would have no problem killing him. So no way out then?.... I supose this place will be comfortable enough. What kind of revenge are we talking? And if we can't leave how are we going to pull it off? Â Â Â He was acting more like himself now. There was no point in him keeping up with the lies. Althoug, he would not reveal his real name. He never liked haveing to admit to his lies when they backfiered. He sat, trying to be more comfortable. The oriental rug was plush. At least he would be comfortable if not alive.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>The dark lush ‘dragon seemed to gush with sane delight at this, followed by another round of satisfied smiles. But in her heart there was still a wall of thorns. Tusum sought the males view, almost getting up to saunter over to his side, yet feeling as if too many miles were between them she shrugged such misgivings off with a little shake of her head. She needed help; she first needed to find Dyn then perhaps all could be arranged... Mouth twisting into a placid line tusum slowly roved up her velvety chair, the cold temper of before quickly removed, for only one thing was important now, "there is something I will need from both of you, it's probably more of your expertise." Her pause was still and hung in the tense atmosphere, though surrounded by warmth and luxury of such simplicity. smirking she added, "for such a plan I have there must be set rules, though, I will first engage in this, project, as I like to call it." Cold blue eyes circled the room falling on both in turns. "I need someone strong, some one clever and precise. I also need a strong, roguish petty thief if there is one better." suddenly in mid speech she lifted herself from the rusty chair, the luxury of the room suddenly fading to its original form as she stood. Staring at the stone like walls as the bright colors dissolved into the wall, Tusum spoke with calm fealty, "take your time, relax and enjoy my humble abode." voice mocking the charcoal female now floated towards the dirty looking wooden door, "I will explain to everyone just what I mean, my plan you see, on the third and final day." her voice was a religious echo that seemed to say they only had so much time, till they must decide where such loyalty lies. As she walked through the door she thought then of all the fun she had never had, was she beginning to feel again? Shaking her head roughly she thought of the future, what would it bring? Narrowing her eyes she smiled cruelly, she wondered which one would last, in the end…</font>
<font color='#348781'>K'uei's eyes were glazed over with hate and loathing. Bodice was held at a very tense stance as he glared at the...child. No, she was not a child. She was an egotistcal, self-centered reskh. That high, melodious laugh echoed throughout her "abode." K'uei glanced around once more. Like hell this was some warm and comforting place. At first glance, maybe. But now that he was taking a second look at things, this place was like hell on earth. The walls had a red glow to them thanks to the fire and it made everything seem out of proportion. A low growl sounded through his throat as he turned to Tusum again. Her voice was fringed with hate. K'uei turned to Yoshi, as he liked to be called, and cast him a warning glance. With the small amount of telepathy he had inherited, K'uei spoke to Yoshi. Don't do anything she tells you too. It could mean death. K'uei snapped back to attention as she stood to leave the room. The midnight blue male felt as if this was all planned. Three days time...What would happen to them in that time period? Would she torture them? Hell, she seemed like the kind of 'dragon who would turn around and do so against her word. Taking a step forward, he growled at Tusum again. Tell me about this "project" as you call it. Tell me or I won't cooperate at all. He also felt like adding some sarcastic or offencive thing at the end of that, but decided against it.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Tusum paused her body growing stiff as the males own hatred washed over her. She looked back indifferently, not truly caring one way or the other, he was not her target now only a pawn. Yawning she looked away then to the other male. "IÂ’m dreadfully tired, wait till tomorrow!" stiffening another yawn as she came back through the open door closing it behind her, back into the previous room. "On second thought, to make you feel more at home you can do as you please, go anywhere you want. There are many places to go underground, the food is plentiful, women, thereÂ’s a pool, anything. though there are only fifteen rooms in this...house." her heart thawed not one drop as she continued her speech that sounded warm and considerate, the tone changing it's tune more often then a radio, "if I spoke on my honor not to harm either of you..." eyes seemed to dull as she went on, the pupil growing smaller, "you would not believe me, so here so conveniently is a contract." Suddenly a large piece of brown paper came out of the air to float near her outstretched paws landing gracefully in her grasp. The contract was roughened at edges, smeared suspiciously in places though not what she had intended when she had made the "spell". Fur slightly ruffled yet content and warm the black female sat criss-crossed down on the floor, twisting her braids idly. Large brilliant aqua eyes grew innocently, "here it is, everything you need to know about everything is on this paper." staring down she held out the paper without even bothering to look up. "Oh yes, you will also need something called a Diary, I used to have one of them, it's somewhere around here." she smiled wickedly, "it would do to read all of both, for this contract is literally life binding."</font>
<font color='#32CD32'>Cemd didn't move. Still shocked by the pressence of the other dragon in his mind. His eyes studied the rug he sat upon but no other part of him moved. This was not good, he thought waiting for the K'uei to take the 'contract' from this... goast?... child?.... His tence muscles relaxed slightly as she moved tward the door. He did not fear her, that was not it. He feared the other male. If he was present in his own mind now... how would this work? He asked himself again. His eyes lifted from the floor in just enough time to see the huge oak doors close behind the female. The 'contract' had been left on the floor in frount of him with a quil in ink at it's side. He stood sudenly and walked away from it and twards K'uei. So what does this mean? He asked, his voice a bit shaken.</font>
<font color='#348781'>K'uei stared at the female, cold gaze never faltering. A growl tugged at the edges of his lips but he didn't let it break through, not yet. Feeling the nervous tension from Cemd, K'uei snorted. Why was he fearing him? K'uei wasn't threatening the other 'dragon at all. Oh well. Upon hearing Tusum's proposal about how they could wander about in the tunnels underneath her...home, K'uei's eyes darkened. He wasn't about to do so. She could have been lying and something vicious could have been waiting to rip their heads off. K'uei decided not to take that chance yet. He watched as Tusum conjored up a contract. Tail swiped behind K'uei as he stood a little taller. Dark brown orbs watched as the paper floated over to Cemd and him. Looking down, he squinted to read it a little better in the somewhat dim light. Glancing up at Tusum once, he growled to himself and continued to read. Shaking his head slowly, he looked up to the egotisical female once more. I... K'uei couldn't find what to say to her. He glanced at Cemd. Well...I'm not totally sure. K'uei looked up to Tusum and spoke to her, a little less angery now. In summary, what does this whole thing mean?</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Cool and composed she snorted, how could he not know what it meant? The contract was fairly simple in wording, extremely clear in meaning. The contract was an invisible bind, whoever signed it was forever encased in its own sticky web, and the breaking of such a promise could be lethal. Grabbing the door knob Tusum opened the door, noting the other dragon’s curious and worried expressions. Both were tense and apprehensive, fighting her in every possible way at the moment and it was getting tiresome. She stepped back from the door slowly calculating, “the contract states pretty clearly that I need assistance in a task, not an ordinary task at that. First I have to locate the ‘dragon stated, and then I need the fire power to make him indisposed for a while." She asked this question plainly and quietly. “I have strong feelings for him; you could say we have a past." One shiny fang could be seen from her lip as she turned her profile sideways. Sighing she continued, “I would like the pleasure of the whole journey but I guess I will have to settle for the satisfaction of seeing him bleed to death." She looked away suddenly, “I can’t leave this mountain side, I if I leave, I die." Placing one paw on her right shoulder she seemed to dig into the skin, tiny droplets of blood appearing, though her face remained passive, the anger inside her could be felt radiating off her body. Turning to them she made her way around the desk and finally to the doors knob, “look around if you please or stay in this entrance hall, but I must inform you that missy is waiting, and I would not keep such a female waiting! She made you cucumber sandwiches and hot chocolate." Tusum moved away in dull movements, almost as if she was in a trance, the vial around her shiny neck swinging curiously.</font>
<font color='#348781'>K'uei listened intently as she explained what it was about. At her comment, he wanted to throw a saracastic 'good for you.' but again decided now was not the time. He continued to glance at Cemd in worry for him. K'uei really had no feelings for this other male but he was worried all the same. Typical cold hero. K'uei took a step closer to the contract. Tusum's words rang in his head as he gazed down at the smudged peice of parchment. I can’t leave this mountain side, I if I leave, I die...If I leave I die...If I leave I die... He growled and shook his head. He couldn't kill her, not just yet. No. Dark orbs found their way to Tusum just as she left the door. Something about a 'dragon named Missy and sandwiches rang about his ears. Knowing this was against his better judgement, K'uei grabbed the quill and quickly etched his name into the paper. After he was finished, he turned to Cemd. Sign it if you want it's your decision... With that, K'uei turned and walked off down the room to the door on the far end. Opening it, he saw a room with a couple beds stationed around it. Padding inside, K'uei hopped up on one of the beds and began to wonder why he had come to sign the contract. Grasping the necklace around his neck, he sighed and closed his dark orbs.</font>
<font color='#32CD32'>How could this... this K'uei be so stupid? what the hell could he be thinking of? Signing that ment he had to stay and Cemd knew it. He could feel the binding magic radiating off this small worn paper. What the hell! Why did you sign it? He asked, letting his strong words echo throughout the hall. Why was he here, again he asked himself. Looking around he realized as the wild fier shone verying tones onto the gold that surrounded him. he let the 'contract fall to the ground again, not even bothering to look it over. He walked over to the oak door and pushed it gently, testing it. he let a sigh escape him when it didn't move. what where they going to do? He couldn't leave with this guy now. He had already signed the paper. damnit He mutterd under his breath as he walked to the contract and read it over carfully. When he was satisfied he picked up the quill and scroled his name.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Tusum growled. Nothing had gone according to plan. She stared at the weathered piece of paper looking over the names on the list. None of them had the 'dragon she wanted. She would punish the messenger for such bad news. A small annoyance, perhaps Ingera was a fool, but he was a great asset. she had other connections to the outside world. She sighed; Tusum's mind wandered, her body was curled up on the sofa in a relaxed position. She didn't know where her guests were, but she hoped they were enjoying themselves, they would need it. They could go anywhere, the swimming area, living room, kitchen, dinning room… She smiled when she thought of everything she had done. The only place in the entire house they were not allowed to go was the library. She had not warned them…just another test. She drank her coffee slowly, a silk clad figure in the height of stylish sophistication and luxury. She loved it, though none of it made her happy for long. She had dreams, haunted dreams, of him; she would for the rest of her life. She got up slowly, steaming mug in hand. She walked over to the back wall of the library, picked up a book and walked slowly over to the desk and started to skim through the pages. She smiled; she had found what she wanted. Closing the book she got up once again, this time to find the greenish ‘dragon, and tell him personally what he must do…</font>
<font color='#348781'>K'uei growled to himself as he settled himself on the soft silk bed. He lay on his back and gazed at the painted ceiling. It was of olden days. Days when the rapine ravaged the world and caused chaos. Blood, death, and haunted faces covered the ceiling. K'uei snorted. Why wouldn't the egotistical reskh have something so sad on a ceiling. His tail flicked as it slid off the bed to hang. The blue tail flame burned a dark crimson in his dying anger. His hand was still clutched around the pendant and he sighed. He had chosen to ignore Cemd's statement to him. K'uei didn't feel like explaining. Hell, he wasn't sure if he even could. Missy had come but K'uei had shooed her away. She had left the sandwiches and it made his stomach growl vigorisly. Rolling over, he grabbed one and bit into it. It was rather good and satisfyed the hunger. The midnight blue male's mind began to wander as he slowly slipped into sleep. His mind flashed a fleeting glimpse of a dark black youth before he fell asleep.</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>Occ: getting kinda perverted here, sorry, i think it's good! just read and tell me what you think. Tusum felt obligated somehow to rush into the next room and wake up the sleeping 'dragon. On her way to Cemd's chambers she had glimpsed his back to the open door way that showed a large agile body. She peered through the opening, feeling almost childlike. She walked into K'uei's bedroom. There was an aura of great power here, it blended well, but she could still detect it. Tusum basked in it, it felt good, it felt like she was bathing in warm comforting waters. Tusum's eyes snapped open, she hadn't known she had closed them. She took in a deep breath, her heart thudding out of character. She was afraid. It was simple as that. She had admitted the weakness. She shook her head roughly, what was happening to her? She lifted a trembling hand to her forehead. She felt different when she entered his bedroom. Tusum looked over at the satin and silk bedspread and the dragon that lay on top of the sheets. There was nothing extraordinary about him, he was more muscular then other males but…she swallowed then. She walked around the king sized bed, watching his chest rise and fall in his sleep. His face was peaceful, nothing happened. She let out a breath, one she knew she hadn’t been holding. Nothing, what had she been afraid of? His eyes, the look in his eyes terrified her, she had to admit, and it killed her inside. “No!" She felt herself gasp. Feelings, emotions collided into her, and she hadn’t been ready, not at all. “No! Please no." She whispered, her eyes were wide, agonized. She looked down at K'uei's sleeping form. She touched the edge of the bed, vial swinging around her neck, it glowed a violent blue as she reached out to touch his face, as her fingertips touched she felt a shock move up her arm. He looked so much like him. Then, there, now, she felt desire, so strong it made her suck in a breath, hyperventilating, it made her sick with lust. Dyn's face flashed before her eyes. She wanted to kill K'uei, wanted to taste his blood in her mouth, roll it off her tongue, and savor his pain. She backed up from the bed, it took all her self control. She felt horror slid through her body, convulsing. Her face held fear, fear she had never felt since that day when she had last seen him. She wanted him, the way a female wants a male, everything that went with it. Yet she wanted this, wanted both, one or the other. The vial glowed brighter, it warped her mind. She fell to the floor, her breath coming in short gasps. The pain seared through her mind, she felt the energy burst inside of her, and she wanted to scream.</font>
<font color='#348781'>OOC: It's not perverted at all Sam. Woo...jeebus this one is long. O_O K'uei fell deeper and deeper into his dark mind. It was endless. Like a river to the ocean. The momentum would never cease. He finally slowed and came to stand in some long hallway. It was barely lit by a small flame on the wall. Suddenly, as if flipping a switch, flourescent lights illuminated the hallway. K'uei found himself standing on two legs with his normal school clothing on, well minus the sweatshirt. Footsteps alerted him to another's presence. He squinted to see a small figure padding towards him. It was a young female pendragon dressed in a weird, tattered robe. Somehow, it seemed like it was religious. She was of a dark golden color and her tail flame was alight with the purest of white. Her eyes were closed to him as he watched her. K'uei stared at her in confusion. His ears flicked forward and back a couple of times in his concentration. K'uei shook his head slowly and spoke in a warm yet dazed manner. ...who? Who are you? His tail swung to and fro as he stared down at her. The little girl spoke in a low tone. The dark mistress is crumbling at your presence. Her eerie voice bounced off the metallaic walls and down the long corridor. K'uei's dark eyes widened as he continued to stare down at her. The dark mistress? Who...what? The child looked up slightly but didn't open her eyes. Her robe billowed in a wind that seemed to come from the youth. Her golden fur glimmered as if some hidden sun shone upon it. K'uei shook his head in his dazed stupor. The dream was utterly real and didn't seem like an illusion. Somewhere deep inside of him, he knew that this was somehow real. This little 'dragon was telling him or warning him of something. K'uei took a slow and caution step towards her. The little girl smiled a knowing smile. She seemed far older then her time. Far far older... K'uei knelt infront of her and peered at her. She still wouldn't open her eyes. He opened his mouth as if to say something but all that came out was a pausing sound. K'uei spoke softly to her. Who is this dark mistress? And why is she crumbling in my presence? The little golden girl giggled and put on that smile again. She opened her eyes to reveal the lightest blue eyes K'uei had ever seen. The looked white to the naked eye but when you where close to her as K'uei was, they had a slight hint of blue to them. The iris was barely visable and K'uei gazed in awe. The youth began to back up with her smile growing into a grin. She spoke with a somewhat lighter tone. You have already met her. Your second question, you'll have to find on your own. With another giggle, she was gone. K'uei rose quickly and looked around the hall frantically. She had vanished. He suddenly heard her voice lightly dancing off the walls. When you decide to seek the truth, search for me near the Magi Lake... --- Come back! K'uei awoke with a start, his shout echoing in the large bedroom. Cold sweat rolled off of his body in beads. Chocolate eyes searched the room for the golden colored child but she was not there. A sudden soft moan was heard from the other end of the room and a bright glow illuminated Tusum's huddled body. K'uei growled slightly but caught himself as he noticed the pain etched across her face. Slipping off the bed, K'uei padded closer to her. His face was that of no emotion as he reached a paw out to her. His voice was steady as he spoke. Tusum? Tusum what's going on?</font>
<font color='#8D38C9'>"God!" now that was ironic, Tusum laughed softly, hollowly. She looked up at K'uei who now stood above her. She felt the whispering off power coming off his body, she shivered. She felt lost; the look must have shown in her eyes. What was happening to her? She felt strange, when she looked into his eyes it was like looking at a ghost, and it hurt like hell. "don't touch me, don't come near me or I will kill you." Tusum slowly got up, her head was burning, searing. She tried to walk but fell against the bed, the soft layers of it indented with her weight. She moaned, she felt like she had a fever. She was hot all over, sweaty and uncomfortable. Tusum's face was flushed with blood. 'What's happening to me?" Tusum's eyes brimmed with unushed tears. Her breath was ragged with the effort to breathe, it felt like drowning. The vial glowed a red hue, it had gone from blue to red, the colors mixing making an almost misty purple. Tusum lifted a hand to her hot forehead trying to stand again and failing. She felt embarrassed? That was confusing, and she hated the feeling. She looked up at the broad shouldered handsome male. The spasm hit her again, this time lower in her abdomen. She only knew she wanted to touch him. She didn't know what this meant exactly either, but she wanted to kill him before it happened again. She couldn't do that, it might be her last chance at finding Dyn. She shuddered violently with a soft groan, and slumped down to the floor.</font>
<font color='#348781'>The power emitting from Tusum crashed over his body like waves of heat. K'uei knew he should have been scared of this radiant power, but for some reason he was not. Dark eyes searched her confused and pain filled face for some answer...though he could find none. Tail flicked again and the flame danced in a fiery orange color. Silver locks fell over his sweaty face as he looked down to the vial swinging around her neck. The liquid inside swirled round and round, consuming itself to just take a different color. Suddenly intrigued by this, K'uei looked back up to Tusum's contorted face. Reaching out one of his large hands, K'uei moved to put it on her shoulder. The rage was gone from his visage as he layed a hand gently and slowly on her soft fur. His voice was quiet and soft just as a mother would comfort a crying child. Shh...it's alright. It's alright. No one is going to hurt you. Calm down... He knelt infront of her and placed a finger under her chin. Lifting up her head, K'uei pulled her closer to him and wrapped his strong arms around her. He rubbed her back with his right hand soothingly. Shh...your ok.</font>
