Post by Silvermoon on Jan 22, 2017

Silvermoon smiled, she had sensed magic in Moonstone, kindred to hers. "That is a good idea Moonstone. I too am a Treeshaper and together we can keep this den out of sight."

She walked up to Kashee and the two Trolls. She kneeled infront of the boy, meeting him eyes to eyes. "You are very brave and I can sense your bond with Cove is very strong. Can you guide us to him? Maybe other are with him or others can be found inside the Two Towers..." She didn't want to put this burden on Kashee's shoulders, but they needed to find everyone who were still alive.
They wouldn't return here any time soon.....

She stepped to the entranche of the den. It seemed the ones outside wrapstuff would all go and she started shaping the greengrowings, aiding Moonstone with her work. Thorny bushes grew out of the ground, vines and branches reshaped to hide any trace of the den. Silvermoon nodded to Moonstone. "Excellent work, if I may say so." And she laughed softly.

Post by Kashee on Jan 22, 2017

Kashee felt tears burning in his throat. Jewel and Whitemoth would stay with him and even Lord Tidas believed him!

He was impressed by Silvermoon, he had seen her from a distance before and her golden hair had been a source of his admiration. He giggled when he saw the Preserver still sleeping in her hair. It didn't seem to bother her.

"Yes... yes I can guide you to him. He is afraid, but I can sense he isn't alone. I think someone has found him." He pointed to the big stone cliff in which two towers were carved and shaped. "He is there!"

Post by Whitemoth on Jan 23, 2017

He had placed the cocoons back inside the tree while shaking his head. Elves could be so indecisive, Trolls made up their mind and did what had to be done.
"Well, now that has been settled....." He stopped mid sentence when he saw Moonstone and Silvermoon use their magic. He had never seen an elf use their magic to reshape the Greengrowings. "How is this possible? You can shape rocks and trees? How remarkable! I guess there is much more to you then meets the eye!" He nodded approvingly. If he would stay with these elves he would learn as much about them as he needed.
He had a newfound respect for the elves, something he never thought possible.
"My hammer and me are here to protect you, young lad. Lead us and we will make sure your friend and everyone we can find will be guided to safety!" He pledged to Kashee and he took his pledges very serious!

Post by Jewel on Jan 24, 2017

"His hammer and my cook pan," Jewel spoke up as she slapper her three fingered hand against the bottom of her pan. "It has already seen much use in bashing in raider troll heads, whats a few more?"

Jewel had marveled at the tree shaping magic done by the two elves, and it showed on her face. She'd only half believed Kashee when he said he could fly. She figured it was his head wound caused delirium talking and that he could not really fly, but now seeing this, and seeing rock shaper slaves of the raiders, now she believed his claim. If he could fly how sad a loss it was for him.

Briefly she wondered if the tree shaper elves could shape mushrooms too? If so, they could help her get her underground garden started and a crop in, once they got settled where ever they were going to end up. The thought of food made her nauseous, and she drank some of her water from her water skin to help settle her stomach. Which it seemed to do.

"So let us get going and the sooner we'll get your folk to safety. Lead on Kashee. We're right beside you."

Post by Kimu + Cat bond Grandmother on Jan 26, 2017

Looking over to Moonstone with Silvermoon as they both get to their feet, Kimu's face smiles. She is happy to see Moonstone well enough and willing to join them. Though Kimu is normally a loner, off by herself, she has been with these elves a long time and learned to accept new things as they come and that relying on others to help is something that is honest and good.

Though, before coming here, she would have strongly disagreed and been more protective and less trusting as when she first arrived here with Skorva in tow as a wee thing. Kimu reflects briefly on this thought then softly chuckled to herself at how much she and Skorva have grown since being here.

Kimu steps away from the tree a bit making feline sounds to be calm and wait to the feline resting with Skorva and Raven and Onewing...

...as the two elves go to work to treeshape a protective hiding place for the Tree den. Skorve pets Odd-thing and hugs Grandmother as they watch.

When Tidas responds to what Silvermoon says, Kimu just listens quietly in the background. She turns to see the Trolls amazed by the two tree shapers and giggles proudly a bit. She is happy to see Trolls amazed at anything a Elf can do. Kimu never knew any troll that liked an elf before this day. Though, she had heard of Trolls being good enough to be in the holt and accepted by the two tribes in the past.

She never met those trolls then. that is why she was tickled to see such a sight, though, not to poke fun, just amused. Once Tidas, Kashee and the two Trolls started to make trail, Kimu and her two felines lag a bit to the back to protect the rear of the line/group as they make their way to the area of the Two Towers rubble to seek out possible living Tribe mates and maybe more.

Post by Fefe/ NPC Lord Tidas on Jan 26, 2017

When Moonstone speaks of staying, and joining the hunting party, Tidas replies. "Thank you for wanting to join us and wanting to help with the tree entrance, you as well Silvermoon, Thank you. and it is my hope as well, Silvermoon."

He shifts his gaze to the young glider again. Seeing the trolls looking after him with comfort, Tidas is reassured that he is looked after well. Once the Plantshapers finish, Tidas replies to Whitemoth's statement. "Yes, let's go. Quiet as possible and ready for anything. Stay sharp with keen eyes, everyone."

Tidas lets Kashee and the two Trolls head out first leading the way as he fallows a few steps behind. Looking back to the others. He sees Skorva taking up the rear with the longtooths. He reaches for his spear/staff and the rescue continues on to whatever may lie before them, the horrors of the the fallen and the stench of death, and whatever else may be in store.

Post by Delhya on Jan 30, 2017

((((OOC let me know if you are not Okay with this Cove))))

A sending brushes the groups minds that are awake, enhance by sending with another. It speaks strongest to Kashee as he is closest to Cove. It is simply a beacon to the child's location and that he is safe, for now, but scared. Though a little less than before for some reason and to hurry but be careful all the same.

**Merle**~**Moondove**~**Shaft**

Post by moonstone on Feb 1, 2017

Moonstone slides her staff into the sheath she wore over her left shoulder and sprang to the nearest tree. *Silvermoon? I will keep watch from the trees as we move along.* She whispered silently into her fellow treeshaper's mind. Without pause, she trailed the group from among the highway of branches and kept easy watch over them as she skimmed each wide branch. She danced silently overhead as the group moved closer to the wreckage of the towers.

Post by Silvermoon on Feb 1, 2017

Silvermoon watched Moonstone jump in the trees and laughed a little. 'If I didn't know better I would say she is a Wolfrider by birth with wolfblood and all!'

She nodded at Jewel and Whitemoth, she would very much liked to get to know them better, the female seemed to be one not to mess with and knew how to talk. Perhaps she knew of some nice beverages she could try!
The male looked as if he knew how to forge a weapon or maybe jewelry....

"Come let's go to the Two Towers....." Silvermoon could feel the sending, but sadly it wasn't clear enough to know who it was or if it was a sending made by more elves. She looked at the others to see if they had heard it too.

"There are still survivors! We must haste to get to them!" Silvermoon started running, she jumped elegant over roots, ducked under branches and catched Chittersweet when it nearly fell out of her hair. "Come little friend! I think your help will be much needed once we get to Two Towers!" She placed it in a small sack she always carried with her. "Hold on!"

Chittersweet dangled at the curls of the Goldenhaired Highthing. "Whoooo, Highthing catch Chittersweet!" It felt the Highthing catch it and put it in a soft sack. "Chittersweet is always ready to make webbing. Hurry! Hurry!"
It held on to the sack, it wasn't comfortable, but it didn't cared. It knew it's help was needed!

Post by Kashee on Feb 1, 2017

Kashee hugged Jewel. "Thank you and you too Whitemoth! I am sure that we will find Cove soon!"

Feb 1, 2017 Cove said:

Together with the wolf Cove started to send. *Help us! I am here with Santiara, Dylyn and a shapechanged elf! Come quickly, we need a preserver too. If you have one with you, please take him with you.*
Cove closed his eyes after the sending, he hoped it had reached someone, hopefully Kashee....

"Lord Tidas! Did you hear? It is Cove! I know it is him! We need to hurry!" He ran between Jewel, Lord Tidas and Whitemoth, urging them to go with him.
Then he saw Silvermoon take of, she had heard it too and in blind haste he ran after her. "WAIT FOR ME!"

Post by Whitemoth on Feb 1, 2017

Whitemoth saw the elves take off, but he didn't follow as quickly as the others. He could run fast like the elves, but he wanted to make sure no one followed them. He had a bad feeling in his gutt, but he wasn't sure why.
He kept looking behind, his hammer ready to hit whoever was there....

Post by Jewel on Feb 2, 2017

'kashee wait, it might not be safe! Please slow down!" Jewel has been on long hard marches before this when she was a slave, but this time it was different, she knew why it was so. Her pregnancy. She tried to catch Kashee as he took off in a sprint. He seemed to fly as he ran, but she fell behind, a stitch in her side and panting for breath, she followed as best she could. There was something wrong with this pregnancy, and she didn't know why!

Post by Kimu + Cat bond Grandmother on Feb 2, 2017

As keenly aware as the Catrider was she was seeing several members of the Rescue party breaking off even though they were all just told to stay together, alert and with safety in number, Kimu reflected with a quirked expression of confusion and rolled her eyes shaking her head.

*High Ones protect our young ones as they misbehave!* She thinks in vocal whispers. She adjusted her sword in her strongest palm while grabbing her silver knife from her boot ready to fight.

~**My Lord, we need to run after those on the ground, we are as easy prey here in this thick foliage as a Whale giving birth, no room to fight or dodge. We should run to catch up to the cubs!**~ She lock sent. She had heard Cove's mind touching hers in an open sending feeling Cove's urgency and fear.

Her face and eyes lit up, but she had no response to offer to Cove. What can one say at a time like this? They still have hours to go before arriving at the rubble, much less finding a path to the cubs.

Kimu had been noticing Tidas loosing his hold on the group, if he ever had it; since meeting the survivors. She feared for him, but the look he had on his face when he turned to look where Whitemoth was looking behind her(Kimu), scared her, giving her a shiver. She could not recall ever seeing him angry.

Right then Tidas was sending sharply to Kashee and Silvermoon, in lock sending.

~**RETURN!!**~ This was not a send held back, but one in potency. It was meant to alarm and Tidas did not wish to harm, but to alarm them, merely stopping them letting them know his vexation with them and to reassert his authority with them. He trusted the near pain the loud sending would bring would sway them to do just that, return.

He then open sent to Moonstone and Shaft, in his more held back sending **If you can spot Silvermoon the blond Lass one and Kashee, the young male with her or near her, , please watch over them, we will catch up! Kimu heard this open sending looking up to the trees as Sheft was near by heading up into the trees too. This would be a great help.

Kimu suddenly is focused on the rear of her where they just came from. She suddenly sees Grandmother alarmed and lowly growling in warning of danger. She growling in a low deep voice not happy. Grandmother's hackles up in shiny black fur, eyes wide in the ready.

Odd-thing was told to head after Silvermoon and Kashee to protect them, with her life if it comes to that. The feline long tooth bolted past everyone in rush to do as told. the young feline gave a wide dart past the Female troll as she passes her too. Not wanting to startle her and get hit. ((Oooc: I'll add Odd-thing to the other thread in a bit.))

Kimu gripped at her blades ready but not seeing anything really. A shimmer? But unclear what from? Suddenly she did not hesitate moving closer to the Lord and Whitemoth as Lord Tidas started to run off in the direction of Kashee and Silvermoon.

Kimu fallowed calling to Grandmother to protect as Lord Tidas started running with a spear now in each hand. Kimu fallowed after him soon running into Jewel seeing holding at her side, possibly protecting it, Kimu takes to stand near her protectively.

Grandmother still in warning mode ready to draw blood if she has to! "We should keep moving Tidas, Still not safe till we can arrive at a better vantage to see any attack coming." Kimu was insisting.

The smell of death a bit stronger the closer they get. Kimu had already seen the dead, smelled it all, spared none of the gut wrenching horror she and everyone alive was returning to find. Worse the closer they go. She felt a strong sense of dread washing over her worse than when they arrived on shore.

Tidas also observed Jewel as she seems to be in pain. Tidas was not going to allow anyone else to die of those he came to help. Regaining his Role as Lord and loosing his fear was giving him the conviction to hold strong to his weapon ready to do whatever it will take to fend off any foe. He is not one for violence but he is no coward either when his people or allies are in danger. Hearing Cove was alive with two others, rose new hope.

Tidas was not violent but the young ones were putting everyone at risk; in their rushing before seeing the danger that might be ahead. Kimu read this in his eyes and on his face before he ran ahead once more to the others in a wide gate since he is long-limbed.

Kimu looked to Jewel before fallowing. "I must keep up to Lord Tidas to guard his back, I can leave Grandmother with you, if you need to ride or lean on her and she will protect you. Kimu offered. Grandmother was a wild animal but tender and protective of every ally the elves have claimed.

Tidas told Kimu if she needed to lag a bit, it was fine. He would keep moving after the other three running ahead. Kimu reluctantly nodded not liking leaving him, but Kimu was not likely to walk away from a friend in need either. Torn, Tidas made the decision for her then and there. Kimu stayed to look after Jewel, close if needed and moving with Jewel now. Grandmother fallows near too.

Post by Shaft on Feb 2, 2017

Shaft caught the sending with the rest. She felt like part of it was familiar but she did not know of any shape changing elves that she'd know just from a sending.
Suddenly many darted off she was about to send that they should not just rush in When Lord Tidas's sending cut through the air.

Shaft looked at Lord Tidas but open sent so the others would hear as well. **I will will watch for any signs of trouble from the trees from the left of the group** ((Assuming Moonstone went right)) **I will keep pace with you. Here you'll need a weapon. It w...is Vaun's spear. It is a little big for me to wield anyhow.** She nodded once he took the spear and made her way agile and swift up and as promised kept pace with him. She knocked and arrow onto Merle's bow watching for any sign of green skins.

Post by Fefe/ NPS Lord Tidas on Feb 2, 2017

Tidas had indeed heard the sending. Kashee was off before he could answer his question. Silvermoon ran off then too, Kashee fallowing after her. Kimu was sending suggestion and pleading requests after to help. But it was more of an interruption to his own thoughts at present as he was also tracing Whitemoth's gaze past Kimu behind him.

His features on his face had turned more stern and yes, vexed. His large eyes looked down at Kimu then shifted to Shaft as she spoke in an open sending, handing him the spear that belongs to Vaun and he he gripped the spear nodding to shaft. Right then he closed his eyes holding each spear in a hand.

~**RETURN!!**~ He lock sent to Silvermoon and Kashee in a pang-ing send, not to harm but to grab at their attention and reassert his leadership of them. Loud sending, not holding back. With Raven in Wrap stuff, someone has to lead the two tribes. Tidas had to step up and right now. Fear was distracting him and he could not afford it to enter his heart or mind any longer, till they are all safe away from here.

Seeing shaft dart into the trees and reassure him she and Moonstone would be lookouts, Tidas took a breath and let it out. "I am going after the spirited ones, fallow or don't, I am going." He said striding in a wide gate after Kashee and Silvermoon. Kimu nodded looking to Whitemoth, "You coming?!" Kimu teased.

Soon they were on Jewel in no time. Kimu and Tidas had seen her holding her side and Tidas tells Kimu to stay with her. He has no time to waste and with his two spears, and the two in the trees, he knew Kimu and the trolls could look after themselves.
He went on and ran to catch up.

Post by moonstone on Feb 3, 2017

Moonstone rested in the branch from the rush of the group arriving at the towers partly to avoid the smell of the fallen. After seeing the rest of the group arrive, she climbed down from the green refuge and joined them. She eased her staff out from her back sheath and waited for directions as to what to do next. The sight of so many laying on the ground and unmoving was unnerving and she pressed one hand to the great tree to feel the thrum of life within the great tree.

Post by Silvermoon on Feb 3, 2017

She needed to go. If Cove was still alive, so could others be, so could.... Silvermoon bit her lip while she kept running. She could hear Kashee following her and she slowed down a little. "Come, I will help, I know you aren't used to running much, but if you get tired I can carry you." She took his hand to help him.

**Return** She suddenly heard in her head.
She squinted a little, it was a powerfull sending and she could tell Tidas was not pleased with her actions. **Tidas... Forgive me. I had not thought of the safety of our group.... it's just... I need to.... I have to know if... ** She couldn't find the right words.
She started crying. She who had been strong the past few days, she had tried to burry her feelings, but couldn't anymore.
She cracked.

**Tidas... we lost so many, friends, family...lovemates. I had to know if... Cove said he wasn't alone, maybe....**
She looked at Kashee. She truelly hoped they would find his parents, see one family be re-united again...
Silvermoon had stopped running, but kept walking. She was angry at herself for sprinting off like that, angry that she had acted before thinking.

Not looking where she was going she tripped over something and pulled Kashee with her in her fall, nearly crushing Chittersweet. "I am sorry Chittersweet. Are you alright?" She took it out of the little sack and placed it on the ground.
When she saw where she tripped over she quickly covered the boy's eyes.
She had fallen over a cut off limb of a Troll, next to it was the body of Kolum ...dead.... a spear pierced his body, but he seemed content, not afraid to die.

"Oh Kashee... please don't look yet... let me first.." She walked over to him and pulled the spear, covered the wound as best as she could then let the boy near. It was heartbreaking to see, yet Kashee held his head high and swallowed away his tears.

Not far she saw the body of the Troll, pierced with arrows and covered with cutting wounds. "They sure did fight him! Good!!"

Lord Tidas had catched up with them and she stepped up to him. "I am sorry... I didn't...." She bowed her head and fell silent.
Together as a group again they walked to the Two Towers, it wouldn't be long now before they would reach it. The smell of the dead and seeing this many bodies made her fear the worst....

Post by Kashee on Feb 5, 2017

Kashee followed Silvermoon, he didn't look at the bodies laying here and there, he wasn't ready to see who were dead. It was best to think his family and tribemembers were taken by the Trolls.... and still alive!

**Return** The strict voice of Lord Tidas sounded loud in his head... He hadn't thought about the others. Jewel, Whitemoth they both had promissed to help him, to help find Cove. And he just took off!

Feb 3, 2017 Silvermoon said:

He fell to the ground, hard. His knees hurted. Where did they trip over?
He was shocked to see the severed arm, but got on his feet again. When he wanted to ask how Silvermoon was he saw she was crying, he had never seen her dry and didn't know what to do. Her eyes seemed to be fixed on something, but before he could look.

Feb 3, 2017 Silvermoon said:

"Oh Kashee... please don't look yet... let me first.." She walked over to him and pulled the spear, covered the wound as best as she could then let the boy near.

It was his father....
Silvermoon gestured him to get closer, he didn't want to, but his legs stepped closer. It was strange to see the almost smile on his father's face, as if he was glad to be dead....
He shook his head, he didn't want to know the reason, he wasn't ready! He clinged his hands to fists and fought against the tears.

He needed Jewel and her warm embrace....

Post by Whitemoth on Feb 5, 2017

He followed slowly, he knew where they were going and he wanted to make sure it was safe. He still had the feeling someone or something was following them, but each time he looked there was nothing to see.

"I am coming. I will guard the rear...."
He saw Jewel reaching for her side. "Are you alright? Do you... can I help you with anything?" He was worried for her, it seemed her strength was less then when he had observed her in the Kingdom. "Are you perhaps sick?"

Post by Jewel on Feb 7, 2017

Jewel hissed in pain. "Something is not right." What she didn't know was that she was carrying two babies inside her. An event not unheard of in Troll society, but not at all common. The unborn children were vying for nutrients her body couldn't provide them. She needed good food and rest. That was unlikely any time soon.

Post by Kimu + Cat bond Grandmother on Feb 7, 2017

Arriving at the edge of the rubble at the Two towers - Moments after Silvermoon and Kashee recovered from their trip over a Troll's detached arm, Odd-thing had slowed to not startle the two elves.

The feline was almost as large as two Wolfriders. The cat hopped up on a rock to be higher up and see better. It's nose was of little use. The rot and acrid stink was putrid, yet, still one could breath, if they could stomach it.

Odd-bit did not mind the stink too much, more focused on protecting and being alert. the cat mewled calls in a soft tone as if to say it's all clear, with no threat and sat on the large jutting stone. She turned her head seeing Moonstone, scenting her suddenly alarmed the feline.

odd-thing got up and leaps over to moonstone, purring and rubbing her head on her side. Something about her was good, and the cat liked the stranger.

When others arrive, including Lord Tidas, Oddting focuses more on what the gathered elves do and seeks to fallow through in aiding her protection even to her own loss of life if she must, though, it is not what she is wanting to have things come to. Her mind is on surviving, like any good minded cat.
__________

Kimu, still standing with Jewel and whitemoth and her bond cat, Grandmother. "If you are willing, I have dried meat, and water, here and if you can manage it, Grandmother is as strong as a No-hump mule. You can ride her if you need to or at least lean on her as a crutch, if you need to? Grandmother is aged but still very strong." Kimu offered biting her lip in worry.

The two trolls had not said yet if they wanted to move or stay and be settled in, Jewel also was not answering Whitemoth. "Maybe just some rest and shade till the others come back or send they need us?" Kimu offered looking from Jewel to Whitemoth.

The elder Feline growled coos of harmlessness and encouragement to the Troll scooping her forehead to the side of Jewel's knee gingerly. It was a gesture as to say, come on. Not everyone knows the two cats, and so, maybe don't understand them or their sign or gesture language or coos and mewlings, but it is their way.

Post by Annemarie/ NPC Lord Tidas on Feb 8, 2017

Tidas nodded to the whitehaired Troll, his arms looked strong and he had faith the Troll would protect them.
"Take care of your mate, she should rest. I will fetch Kashee and return him to you."
He started running again. Why did Silvermoon acted this foolish, she should know better!
He found her and Kashee covering Kolum's body. He hadn't talked to him much, but he knew who he was. More dead surrounded them, but none of his clan, still his heart ached by the many death.

"Silvermoon!" He called for her. He could see she had been crying.

Feb 3, 2017 Silvermoon said:

Lord Tidas had catched up with them and she stepped up to him. "I am sorry... I didn't...." She bowed her head and fell silent.

"You endangered yourself and Kashee! Why? Is there someone special you hope to find?" He had known Silvermoon for more tides then he could remember and she only did this dangerous if she knew someone she cared for was in danger.
He signed. "Dear friend... we have lost so many, I don't want to loose more! Stay close and on guard! The whitehaired Troll is on edge and that could mean more Trolls."

He walked up to Kashee. "Come my child. Your father was a brave man, he fought well. We don't have time to mourn his death, but we will once we are safe again. Then we will dance and sing about their lives and give them the greatest honor possible..... for now, know they are in the Palace, reunited with the spirits of the High Ones."

He gestured to Shaft to stand guard. **Watch for the others, warn us when danger is close. You too Moonstone.**
And they walked on to the entranche of the Two Towers. Rubble was every where, bodies scattered, he looked at each face, imprinting them in his mind. His tears would have to wait... first they needed to find the others and a new home!

*Cove? Where are you?* He sended.

Post by Summerbreeze on Feb 8, 2017

Metal against metal rang out as the cool light of the moons (it is night, isn't it?) beckoned to them. It had been so long, it seemed, since they had been bathed in their light. Tharkun, the three brothers, and a half handful of others fought with all they had left in them. The trolls kept advancing on them, but the elves were able to hold out, even force them in retreat.

**You're in sight now,**Summerbreeze sent to the small group. **The barrier can no longer hold our sends.**

Without hesitation, several of the elves, Summerbreeze included combined their sends openly for any other elves. They had no idea where this tunnel led to, but it seemed they were away from the holt, perhaps a secondary tunnel that had been forgotten or underused in the turns since its creation. They gave no names, but to many, Tharkun and Summerbreeze's "voices" were familiar. (These two are near High Ones; they've been around for a LONG time).

Post by moonstone on Feb 9, 2017

"Aye, Lord Tidas." Moonstone nodded just once as her near hand touched Odd-thing's soft fur in silent reply of the feline's gesture of friendship.
She gripped her staff in readiness before taking a position of guarding the littered ground with Odd-thing following her. Keeping her eyes open, she kept in light contact with the trees as a secondary watch of the surrounding area. If anything or anyone approached, she would have time to warn the others who were now searching the fallen. Perhaps once all were known, she could weave a proper burial mound for them. From her position, she noted Jewel's discomfort and touched the ground briefly to grow some mushrooms for the troll to enjoy.
Weaving a small basket with a handle as she kept watch, she loaded the container with the fresh mushrooms and asked Odd-thing to carry the basket to the troll.

Post by Silvermoon on Feb 10, 2017

Lord Tidas looked at her, worried and his words struck home. She felt even more guilty for running off as she had done, but she needed to know. "Yes, a friend of mine may be among the wounded inside the Two Towers. I had felt a sending just before we left in our boats, but after that no more. I feared death had taken it's toll.... Hearing that Cove wasn't alone sparkled hope in my heart and I acted without thinking."

Hearing that Whitemoth might suspect more raiding Trolls were still in their ruined Holt cleared her mind and she nodded. She had lost her spear, but still had her daggger. She took it in her hand before entering the Two Towers.

*Kashee? Send to your friend. Tell him we are near and let his sending guide us to him.* She opensend to the youngling. She looked at Tidas and he smiled and nodded to her. She was relieved and hadn't realized she had needed that look on his face.

A sudden sending reached her mind. Cove? No, it was faint, but these were others! More suvivors! Her heart rejoiced.
She followed Tidas deeper into the caves, but it was going slow because of all the debris.

Post by Kashee on Feb 10, 2017

Kashee nodded while he wiped his tears. Lord Tidas was right, time for mourning would come later. Still....
He took his father's hand, cold and stiff. "Thank you father for your lessons and kindness...." He swallowed hard and signed, then he took his father's bracelets and necklace. If he would find his mother she would want these...

He followed Silvermoon and Lord Tidas. Silvermoon asked him to send to Cove, but he feared that he wouldn't answer him. Yet, not knowing where he was would make the search more difficult.
*Cove? We are here. Lord Tidas, Silvermoon, Shaft, Kimu and a new elf.... show me where you are so we can find you.* He grabbed Silvermoon's free hand for comfort and waited for an answer.

Post by Whitemoth on Feb 15, 2017

Whitemoth looked at Jewel and he was a little concerned. "Jewel, I know you are strong, but clearly the past few days has taken it's toll on you. You should rest more or at least slow down a little. Have you been eating good?"
He couldn't remember if she had, but she looked tired and in pain.
"I am sure Kashee will be looked after by the tall elves! That gives us time to follow them at a slower pace." Again he looked over his shoulder, something was bothering him, but he couldn't put his finger on it....

Post by Cove on Feb 15, 2017

Feb 15, 2017 Cove said:

Cove got excited and replied to Kashee. *We are in the main Hall, near the entranche to the underground pool.* Kashee wouldn't need more information from him, this was Kashee's home.
*Do you have a Preserver with you? We have wounded here, Santiara is trying to heal herself, but I am not sure how injured she is herself...*

Post by Jewel on Feb 16, 2017

"We've all had little food. Kimu has offered her great beast for me to lean upon which I will do, if the beast will allow it." She smiled a wan smile at both Whitemoth and Kimu. "Thank you, Kimu. Does your beast have a name? She is a magnificent beast."

Post by Skorva + Odd-thing, F cat bond on Feb 16, 2017

Feb 9, 2017 moonstone said:

"Aye, Lord Tidas." Moonstone nodded just once as her near hand touched Odd-thing's soft fur in silent reply of the feline's gesture of friendship.
She gripped her staff in readiness before taking a position of guarding the littered ground with Odd-thing following her. Keeping her eyes open, she kept in light contact with the trees as a secondary watch of the surrounding area. If anything or anyone approached, she would have time to warn the others who were now searching the fallen. Perhaps once all were known, she could weave a proper burial mound for them. From her position, she noted Jewel's discomfort and touched the ground briefly to grow some mushrooms for the troll to enjoy.
Weaving a small basket with a handle as she kept watch, she loaded the container with the fresh mushrooms and asked Odd-thing to carry the basket to the troll.

(Ooc: Playing as Odd-thing the Saber tooth)

Ic: The Feline long tooth, Odd-thing watched Moonstone from a distance. She had seen magic before and knew to give space so the magic could happy without disturbance.

When the Elf Maiden wanted the cat to take the basket the cat was confused and shook it's head as if shaking off water from it's fur then seeing Moonstone still holding out the basket...reluctantly the cat eased cautiously forward and gingerly took the basket in her mouth as if picking up a kitten.

Her eyes steadily on Moonstone. Odd-thing never has done this kind of task in her life. How she knew to do this was even beyond her knowing. Backing up, she raised her head, Basket of Shrooms held in her mouth by the handle, she looked up at moonstone then ran off bolting back down the trail to the two trolls, Grandmother and Kimu to deliver the Mushrooms in the basket.

The Feline went up to the four she had gone after, dropped the basket at Jewel's foot and went back to the base of the two towers. She was told to watch over the two elves back there and wanted to return to do that. There was something about Moonstone though, that Odd-thing was willing to do anything for her.

Post by Kimu + Cat bond Grandmother on Feb 16, 2017

Kimu listened as the two Trolls exchange words. When asked, Kimu replied. "Her name is Grandmother, since she has a personality like my Grand Dame. Maybe the same Spirit or something? I like to think so.

Maybe we should sit and wait for the others to return, they are far ahead of us. It won't be an easy walk, even with Grandmother for you to brace against. And yes, Grandmother looks after those she deems good-natured, you will be safe and secure in her care, that I am sure." Kimu offered a neighborly smile gesturing to her cat, who's hackles all glossy black still showed. "Jewel, don't worry, Something has her fur in a ruffle, but it's not you.

She is being protective and alert is all." Kimu slightly turned her head to shift her eyes keenly about to see where Whitemoth keeps looking. Whatever it was, if he had hackles, she was imagining that his would be up too. "Whatever you two want to decide, I will fallow till we see the others return. So, do we stay or chance the trip to join the others?

Her tone sounded of concern and acceptance, not pushy in the least. Kimu observed some unknown stress between the two trolls, and did not want to know the story at the moment. Kimu kind of liked Whitemoth keeping a look out. Extra set of eyes keeping watch was always a good thing.

Post by Shaft on Feb 17, 2017

Shaft held her position in the trees out of sight and silent as owl's wings. She crouched on a branch bow ready and arrow knocked as she scanned the area. Her eyes passing over Jewel and Whitemoth. Looking for anything out of the ordinary. She noted Whitemoth's unease. Had he heard something or was he on edge like the rest of them.

She wished Brownbuck was here, he'd been her eyes on the ground for so long and it was weird to not have him around.

Moving like a shadow she jumped branch to branch getting a different angle for her watch. She still saw nothing but bristled anxious. to be away from here

Post by Annemarie/ NPC Lord Tidas on Feb 17, 2017

Lord Tidas looked at Kashee. The lad would be alright and he seemed to look for guidens and comfort with everyone willing to give him. He was somewhat reluctant to do this, he needed to be the strong one, the one without distraction.... eventhough his mind was occupied by the many tribemembers from both tribes he had seen laying on the ground....
Too many! And only the High Ones knew how many had been taken. He rubbed his temple and signed.
"Come, let's enter the Two Towers and start our search!"

He faintly felt a sending, but the one sending was too far or maybe his mind wasn't open to it. He was focussing too much on Cove.
*Silvermoon? Join me in this sending, together we are stronger and we might reach the ones inside the tunnels deep in the mountain!* He took her hand, but before they could send another sending filled his mind.

He smiled! Finally, more survivors!
"Kashee, he is calling for you. Tell him that we are on our way. In the meantime we will send for others."
He nodded at Silvermoon and send out a call. *Who else needs our aid! We are now entering the Two Towers, send and we will find you!*

((OoC: Lord Tidas is replying to Summerbreeze's group))

Post by Summerbreeze on Feb 19, 2017

Summerbreeze whirled toward the send from Tidas, his mouth agape with unrestricted joy. **They have heard us!** he sent to the others.

Tharkûn had little chance to respond, nor did the others. He was far more focused on the trolls that continued to spill out from the opening of the tunnels that had just escaped from. The others he could readily sense near him, occasionally he’d catch brief glimpses as they charged and withdrew as each troll rushed or died at the ends of their blades. He was relieved that their send was heard, but now they had to defeat these damn trolls. They did not want to surrender their prize.

Tharkûn sent to the group to encircle the opening and fight shoulder to shoulder while he fought his way clear to try and shape the warren's opening closed. He knew there were those in this group that wanted to fight to the end, but he also knew they were exhausted and badly injured from the long time they had been battling in the tunnels. Several had been fighting non-stop and had little energy left to even hold their blades much longer. There would be more death and bloodshed if he did not succeed in this mission.
He did not wait for the others to respond beyond watching them start to line up. He figured they would; even the most hardened warrior would just to get more trolls to kill off. At this point he was glad; he needed to break away to do his task. He only wished there were more to give him a much needed break. When this was over, he was sure to sleep for moons.

Without hesitation, he braced himself against the wall of the opening. He prayed to the High Ones he had enough strength to force the rock to obey his commands...and that the elves with him would be able to prevent the trolls from reaching him. He was willing and even ready to lay down his life for the others, but if only he could live to see the rest of his holtmates.

He focused all he had left on the rough hewn rock and let his energy weave it together and closed. This door, he vowed would never be opened again. Sweat began to pour from his skin mixing with the blood that he was coated in. A glow surrounded him and the rock groaned and crackled under his command.
The trolls began to panic and push through frantically. They were not going to let their prey go free; they would return as slaves or die. It was obvious the elfin warriors were in no way going to allow either to happen. Both sides fought ferociously, not willing to admit defeat or exhaustion. Neither would be satisfied until the other was dead.

Tharkûn was panting and losing strength. The battle had raged for so long, he had received enough injuries to keep healers busy for nights, and all his energy was flowing out of his fingertips to manipulate rock. The opening in the tunnel was narrowing fast, but Tharkûn was nearly spent.

Summerbreeze watched, rose quickly, and braced himself gently against the Firstborn. He allowed his on energy to surge into Tharkûn and merge with the power to shape rock. It was what Tharkûn needed, and he was soon able to complete his task. Both collapsed to the ground afterwards, but looked to their holtmates.

The warriors were able to make swift work of the remaining trolls. The ground was pooling with blood and flesh, bodies scattered everywhere. Summerbreeze summoned as many of those present to return the send to – was that Lord Tidas? – and give their direction: a focused, intense combined send like a burning beacon in a blackened void.

Post by moonstone on Feb 20, 2017

Moonstone kept close watch over the area with one hand gripping her staff in readiness. The other hand rested against the bark of the nearest tree to sense any disturbances within the great giant from roots far below to the highest leaf shivering in a breeze far above. She felt an echo down deep and wondered about the slight sound. It almost sounded like a fight and something slowly closing? It was not something that grew but she could feel the frustrated energy that moved it to close.
"Be ready!" She called to the group as she felt the pain and weary from within the towers. "Jewel, please eat the mushrooms! You look as though you need them!"
Glancing up, she noted Shaft above on the tree branch with bow and arrow ready. Breathing slowly, she kept close watch on the ground and tightened her hand around her staff.

Post by Silvermoon on Mar 1, 2017

"More survivors....." Silvermoon whispered.

"Come Kashee, guide us to Cove. I think we will find them soon and if the High Ones' Spirits guide us we will find others too."

She heard weapons clinging and sensed magic being used. **The fighting has stopped... we should hurry Tidas and stay on guard, we can't be sure our people have won that fight.** She looked around, her own dagger was useless, but she saw a spear and some swords.
*Grab every weapon you can, we may need them!* Silvermoon opensend to the others. **Kashee? Take that spear, it is made for a Glider and you need a weapon* She looked at the little boy. **Don't worry, I will locksend with you and share my knowledge if needed!**

Then they slowly entered the Two Towers, first Lord Tidas, then Kashee next to her. Her heart filled with hope to find her friends and one in particular......

Post by Kashee on Mar 1, 2017

Kashee swallowed hard. **Lord Tidas? They are in the main Hall! And Santiara is there too, she is injured, but is healing herself. They need a Preserver for another who is badly injured, Santiara might be too weak to heal the other right away.** He pointed Lord Tidas to the right direction, he didn't know if the leader of the other tribe knew his way in the Two Towers.

When Silvermoon told him to take the spear he was weary. He had picked the spear as his weapon, but he had not practiced much and now he might have to take a life....
He was glad Silvermoon sounded to confident, it made him feel a little better too.

While they walked his mind wandered to Jewel, he hoped she was alright. Too bad Trolls couldn't sent or recieve sending. "Look! I see someone moving, but it's too dark!"
**Cove? Is that you?**

Post by Merle on Mar 5, 2017

((((OOC: so you know what to find when you get to Cove Santaria and Dylan))))

Merle said:
((OOC he should She has been around the Holt well before he was born. Where he may not know her sending he should know her by sight))

Merle **Good, you will be safe and if it is Lord Tidas I am sure No wing is with him.** She snorted a wolf version of a laugh and bumped him with her nose. **I suppose I do look very different don't I? It's Merle cubling. I know you don't see much of me as my den is out in the woods.**

She looked at Santiara when she sent surprised. Her ears flicked forward and she heard something down the tunnel. She sniffed the air but it was stagnant. She stood up **Stay between them just in case it's not our tribemates keep your head low till we know,** she locksent to Cove not wanting to potentially distract Santiara. She stepped around the Healer and stood between the noise and the three elves.

COVE said:

Cove nodded and was surprised. "Merle? I didn't know you could change into a wolf! Wow, it is amazing!" For a moment he forgot what had happened until Merle sent to him again.
**I will stay here.** He moved over to Santiara and Dylyn and waited.
'I wonder why Kashee hasn't answered yet... I hope he isn't in trouble...' He thought to himself.

Merle could not help but smirk at his enthusiasm **Nor did I until recently** She lock sent back to him. She then stepped up to standing a wolf's length now between her and the trio.

She unconsciously bristled she realized yes the first noises were from the surface, however, had she heard something else just now? the Towers were stable enough which meant and sounds came from someone.

Open sending to confirm, crisp and clear her words brushed the minds of whoever could send. (ie Summerbreeze and Tharkun as well) **Who is there? There may still be more than just elves in these tunnels still. Be on Guard.**

Post by Cove on Mar 7, 2017

While they walked his mind wandered to Jewel, he hoped she was alright. Too bad Trolls couldn't sent or recieve sending. "Look! I see someone moving, but it's too dark!"
**Cove? Is that you?**

"Kashee?" Cove whispered, forgetting it was easier to send. *I am here!* And he waved to let anyone who was close.
He could now see his friend and he signed relieved. **Healer? Are you alright? I can see others, they will bring us to safety!** He locksend to Santiara, he hoped she could hear him.

Post by Santiara on Mar 7, 2017

**Yes child, I hear you. I still need some rest, but I am fully healed.** Santiara opened her eyes and sat up. **Are you sure they are our kin? I can sense Trolls are still in our domain.**
She had healed Trolls in the past, good friendly Trolls and this had made her perceptive for them the same way she was to other elves. She reached next to her, poor Dylyn was still unconscious and she was unable to heal him, for now.
*Merle? Are you there? Are.... have you changed into a wolf? How wondrous, I had no idea you were able to take this form.* She smiled, the old powers slowly emerged in their race again it seemed.
*Who are here child? There is too much death and pain surrounding us. I can't be sure who or what I sense....* She had always been sensitive to the lifeforce of others, because of her healingpowers, but the spirits and the death surrounding her clouded her judgement. She wasn't even sure if she indeed could feel other Trolls....

*Kin of tribe and heart, who else is alive? Gather in our main hall, others have come to get us to safety!* It was a last attempt to reach out, to be sure all would come down and leave this broken home.

Post by Whitemoth on Mar 7, 2017

Whitemoth heard blades clashing, but it was far and it seemed to be coming from inside the stoneshaped caverns his people had raided.
For a moment his thought returned to just a few days ago.... was it really just a few days?
The Trollraiders had killed first then, in the confusion they had created, they had searched for magicusers, specially the rockshapers. He had tried to help some elves, but he had been just one against more then ten times eight warriortrolls...
He signed and readied his hammer, he would protect everyone he had met passed few days against his own people. "Please eat Jewel, too many of our kind have died already... I don't want to loose more... not even an elf..."

"I think for now we should return to the tree, maybe keep watch over the ones inside. Kashee is safe, that golden haired one and Tidas will protect him. I... you need protection too and returning to that tree will give us some advantage when... if we are attacked." Whitemoth looked at Jewel, she seemed ill and in need rest, it had been a rough couple of days.
"You elf, I know you can somehow talk to others of your kind without talking out loud, can you tell them that we go back? So they don't have to go search for us on the way back." He had made the decision, he didn't cared if Jewel would be mad at him, her safety was more important to him then finding other elves, he only hoped the little boy would be safe.

((Ooc: I was thinking we should make a new thread for Kimu, Jewel, Skorva, Whitemoth and who else so we don't mix up two different stories?))

Post by Annemarie/ NPC Jewel on Mar 8, 2017

She looked at Whitemoth and signed. "Kashee needs our help!" But the pain in her side didn't pass, she needed rest, she was tired of walking, of running away from her life. And now she needed to take care of a new life, a life she could finally keep and raise herself!

"But you are right, I am in no condition to help him, we should return and wait for the others. Maybe we can make preperations for leaving this place for good? Pluck berries, mushrooms and other kinds of food. I am not sure what elves eat, but we will ask Kimu." She saw Whitemoth's worried gaze. Should she tell him? No it wasn't time for him to know.
"I will be alright. It has been a couple of rough days and I still need to adjust to this life in the sunlight. I promiss I will be fine soon." She gently placed a hand to reassure him and help herself get on her feet again.

"Come, let's return to the tree. Do you agree Kimu?"

Post by Skorva + Odd-thing, F cat bond on Mar 13, 2017

Odd-thing was bored, her hackles raised in unease. Eyes wide, ears shifting from back to front now and then her head and nose moving, seeking... Still, she kept alert and guard. Kashee, Tidas and then Silvermoon all seen to be in communication, the Feline observes, watching them.

The Long tooth mewls a low growl, shakes it's head to shoo some pesky bugs from it's face and ears. When the three go inside the near by cave, The Feline inspects the other opening in the rubble unaware of sendings, she takes to fallowing her nose. Troll and elf Blood, fresher than the smells in the air of dried blood and rot. She pads over to the rubble and leaps closer to the cave.

She wonders why the others went to the other opening, not this one? Odd-thing, that she is, calls out to Kimu for help. Insisting after a moment to come help. The call is unanswered. The Cat is miffed right off by that. She was told to guard. Everyone seems to have left her alone. She creeps into the opening spotting some wounded elves. The large partly spotted feline knows some are unaware that she is good to Skorva and the elves.

She starts to purr rather loudly, head low and mewling in submission to the elves around the opening of the wall of rubble. "PPrrrrrr, Rrroww....Prrrrrrr, prrrrrr." the feline creeps in slowly and lowly to show no threat.

Being near to one elf, she hunkers lower nearly to the floor now licking the blood covered hand of one of the mountain elves as a offering of aid more than harm. In Odd-thing's mind, all elves were kin. It was just her thinking and what she grew up knowing.

Odd-thing hoped maybe the elves in the trees might come to aid these blood soaked elves too. Odd-thing can fight and she can be ridden, if needed. She wondered if these elves could scent her elves on her fur and if they would accept her as Kin too. After licking the elf's hand a bit, then licked it/his/her face with joy to find the living.

After a while, Kimu is heard by odd-thing and calls kimu into the cave then a moment later grets her....

Post by Kimu + Cat bond Grandmother on Mar 13, 2017

Mar 7, 2017 Whitemoth said:

He walked around to see if he could see what made his hair rise, but still nothing.
"I think for now we should return to the tree, maybe keep watch over the ones inside. Kashee is safe, that golden haired one and Tidas will protect him. I... you need protection too and returning to that tree will give us some advantage when... if we are attacked." Whitemoth looked at Jewel, she seemed ill and in need rest, it had been a rough couple of days.
"You elf, I know you can somehow talk to others of your kind without talking, can you tell them that we go back? So they don't have to go search for us on the way back." He had made the decision, he didn't cared if Jewel would be mad at him, her safety was more important to him then finding other elves, he only hoped the little boy would be safe.

Kimu heard the sendings. All of them. She felt the need to go to join her tribe mates. Hearing Whitemoth and Moonstone urging Jewel to eat the mushrooms in the basket Odd-thing had brought her. Kimu was on edge. Then Whitemoth seemed to be in deep thought for a moment. Kimu patted and petted Grandmother.

"Be at ease Love, Look after Jewel. Easy." and stepped away a bit. She looked up at the male troll. She nodded to him after his request of her. Open sending to all in range. **Jewel and Whitemoth are headed back to the hidden Tree den to rest and make some food for on the way back to meet up there.**

Everything in Kimu was urging her to go to the others.Kimu holds her sword firmly in one hand her silver dagger in the other. "I have shared with the others your plan to return and Jewel, you wanting to make some food. Thank you for that. I must go to the others to help and I think I heard Odd-thing, my Daughter's Longtooth calling out to me. I need to go check on her. She could be in trouble."

Kimu kept watch on the ground while Whitemoth and Grnadmother then once they are out of sight, Kimu heads off running then leaping through the trees to find Odd-thing and see what she is into.

Around 5 hours later, near by the entrance Tidas and two others entered, Kimu stops under the tree Moonstone is in to dink water and catch her breath just as she spots the tracks and the scent of Odd-thing. Teh cat remembered to mark her scent for Kimu to fallow.

She makes her way to the Feline, but something, a sound of someone calling to her. She traces the sound and there is a half dead and rotten corpse of her friend and distant family member by blood, Leafdragon. Her heart over flowing into her throat, she choaks down the urge to purge what little is in her stomach. Raising her arm to her mouth and nose, then she meets eyes with him.

She steps closer taking his head into her lap and hands. She used her magic to sooth him and this frees him from his pain, somewhat, he whispers to her faintly, and she weeps and nods to him. She takes her knife and sets him free from the wrechid form the Trolls left him in and takes his head circlet fixing it to her sash to keep to remember him. She removes all the bugs she can then digs at the dirt to cover over him as she cries and curses in pain and loss and anger most of all.

Soon though reality and the living sink back into her mind and with some determanation, she starts off again and in being very close meets the Mountain elves in a mix of elves she knows from this Holt and some new faces. She grets them all telling them what has happened in the most recent of days.

Soon she arrives. Observing what little she can...she calls out to Odd-thing. Hearing Odd-thing reply, Kimu leaps from the trees near by Moonstone and Shaft and runs to the further away opening in the rubble of the two towers than the other three entered into, and carefully approaches. "Odd-thing...you seem safe sounding, what did you need?" She whispers thinking the cat is not to far away to hear her. Her Animal soothing magic doing it's thing as she enters.

The cat calls her inside further. Once her eyes adjust, she smiles. "You found some live ones Cub! Good job!" She cheered in praise to Odd-thing. The feline purred loudly at this and the scratching behind the ears.

**My eyes see with joy. I came to help. Where should I start? Don't fear Odd-thing, she is a sweethearted friend of my daughter's." Kimu stepped inside a bit more to see better as her eyes sight adjusted better to the dank and dark passage way. She awaited the reply of those around her now.

((I made a new thread for Kimu and the mountain elves Amber is playing calledDiscovery of Mountain Elves Return! (From Rescue thread) So, above in blue is the new part to mesh with the other Kimu post in the new thread.))

Post by Annemarie/NPC Lord Tidas on Apr 10, 2017

More sending!
Tidas felt relieved. *Summerbreeze? Is that you? It is good to know you are still alive. Who is with you, did many survive?* He wanted to find everyone alive, but he knew Cove, Santiara and Merle first needed to get to safety and he could only guess how badly hurt Dylyn was.
He weavered for a moment, untill he saw the cat walk towards another opening he knew of and Kimu was following. *Kimu, will you be able to guide them out? Bring them to the hidden tree our treeshapers made, we will join you there again after getting the others.*

He now followed Kashee. *Lead the way lad, we should be close now!*
In the dim light he saw an arm waving. *Is that Cove?*
Tidas now signaled Kashee and Silvermoon to stay put. *Let me go first. You never know if an enemy Troll still lurks around!* He moved in a circle around the group, signaling to them to stay quiete and not to move. He slowly exhailed when he only saw dead Trolls.....
*All clear! Let's get them out of here, fast!*

"Chittersweet, do wrapstuff on Dylyn! He will be healed once we are in safety again!" He placed it on top of Dylyn and it started it's work.
*Are you alright? Cove? Santiara? Merle? .... Merle? Is that you? How did you.... never mind, we will talk later about this!* He was amazed by the transformation and was actually proud one ad found the selfshapingpowers within!
*Come, we shouldn't stay here for long! Get them out of here. I will send one last time and hopefully more will answer....*

He walked to the centre of the Great Hall. *All who can hear me, please answer my call. We are here to get you to safety!*

It stayed still... too still.... tears fell down from his face, mingled itself with the blood on the stone floor. Too many had died... too many are lost.
He felt the urge to scream, throw something, kick something..... kill something.....

"Let's go now! NOW!" He didn't cared they were shocked by his voice, he needed to do something! He picked up Dylyn, in his anger his strength grew, he felt strong and he would bring them to safety!

She felt the emotional turmoil of Lord Tidas and leaned her free hand against the nearest trunk of the great tree. Moonstone felt the soothing pulse of the wood giant and kept her eyes open in case of others appearing in this section of forest. She breathed slowly along to the throb of the tree's pulse and readied herself for the reappearance of the search parties and wounded. Biting her lip, she wished for her mother's guidence. Her mother had been a calm soul, drawn to healing with herbs instead of a natural gift. Her hands had been so soft to brush away fevers with practiced ease while she sang low to soothe the spirit.

It was a wonder to be so but she had wondered why her mother had not felt useless in not being gifted. Moonstone's green gift had saved them several times during their wanderings but not to be able to save them as they gasped out their last breath while their hands clung to each other. Their deaths were still fresh and left her feeling unsure and alone.

Here, there were others who needed her and that steeled her determination to do what was right. She glanced around to make sure that all was well and saw Shaft shifting on her branch with an arrow ready and poised at the bow string.

Post by Silvermoon on Apr 14, 2017

Silvermoon had tears in her eyes. "Santiara? Are you alright?" She whispered and took her into her arms. "Lovemate? I am here, I will bring you to safety!" She brushed some hairs out of her Lovemate's face and hugged her gently. **I am so glad you are still with me in the flesh. I wouldn't know what I would do without you!** She locksend to her.

She looked around to see who else was there. Cove, Dylyn and a wolf. A new wolf. She was shocked to hear Tidas say it was Merle, pleasantly shocked. *Friend! A wolf? This is a new shape for you. Can I say it suits you?* She smiled, she had reason to smile now. And gave Merle a hug too.

She watched Chittersweet putting Dylyn in wrapstuff and was a little disturbed by Tidas' tone. **Tidas?? What....**

It stayed still... too still.... tears fell down from his face, mingled itself with the blood on the stone floor. Too many had died... too many are lost.

"Let's go now! NOW!" He didn't cared they were shocked by his voice, he needed to do something! He picked up Dylyn, in his anger his strength grew, he felt strong and he would bring them to safety!

Silvermoon held Santiara. She could see the rage in Tidas' face. She feared rash decisions, made in anger and not in good judgement.
**Tidas!** She would force him to stop! **You wanted caution, now you need to follow on your own advice! There could still be survivors. Them not answering, doesn't mean they are dead. And you know this. Let's just regroup in the hidden tree and see to the wounded we can now bring to safety. We can send out a call for everyone in this holt, our combined sending will reach far, maybe even as far as the island....**
She hoped she had reached him....

She helped Santiara stand and lend a helping hand to Cove. Silvermoon touched Tidas' shoulder. **My chief, my friend.... we all grieve our loved ones... we will mourn their death once we are all together again...** She cried and her pain was felt in her sending.
"Let's go back to the tree...."

Post by Kashee Apr 14, 2017

Kashee rushed to his friend. "Cove! Cove! You are here!" He was so happy to see his friend again! "You know, we have your Sire safe? He is in wrapstuff.... " His words were locked in his throat... and the fresh memory of his own Sire made him cry. He shook his head.

He didn't see the tender moment between Silvermoon and Santiara, but he didn't miss Lord Tidas' outburst.
He was shocked, he had never seen him react like this and for a moment he didn't know what to do, but to follow Lord Tidas ourside...

Post by Merle May 2, 2017

Merle Relaxed at the scent of Elves and walked back over to Cove and the others. In any other circumstance she'd have been amused by Tidas's surprise. She bent her head around Silvermoon returning the hug. **It was a surprise for me as well.** She locksent briefly to the tree shaper.

She was also taken aback by Tidas's sudden out burst. She saw Silvermoon's expression and figured it was not too far fetched that she was sending to the usually calm Chief. She kept her own thoughts because his feelings were not far from her own and she doubted she could hide them from him in a sending.

Stepping up next to Santaria's other side she dipped her head under her hand offering support if she needed it. **Can you walk?** The send implying if she could not Merle was offing a lift.

Cove sensed pain in Kashee' sending. "And your parents? Is your Sire alright?" He hated his lack of interest in his own Sire, but Raven had never shown much interest in his life and he had accepted that fact. Eventhough it hurted his soul.
He hugged his friend as he realized his parents were dead... **I am so sorry my friend!** He locksend to him. **We are still together, we will stand strong together!**

He too heard Lord Tidas' ourburst, but he wasn't shocked, not even suprised. He had seen too much to react to it. Cove just shrugged and stood up with Silvermoon's aid. "Thank you. Where will we go now?" He dared not to ask who was still alive, he would find out eventually!

Santiara came to her senses when Silvermoon touched her in body and mind. **Lovemate! You live! I thought I had lost you!** She started crying, all emotions of the past days surfaced and the tears were a testament of her suffering and joy.

"Lord?" She had never seen him like this. She reached out to him, but before she fould Silvermoon had stopped him.
When she returned to her she nodded. **He needs to let his emotions go, keeping them locked up inside is not good, specially not for a Chief....** She locksended to her.

She felt Merle in wolfform standing next to her and she leaned on her. She had never sat on a wolf before and knowing this was Merle made it even stranger to even consider it..... yet...
Her legs were still weak and her glidingpowers were weak as well. "Merle, thank you. I think I will need your help getting out of Two Towers...." She clumsily tried to sit on Merle's back and with Silvermoon's help she sort of sat like a Wolfrider.
"Yes, where will we go after we are all out of here and ready to move on?" She too wanted to know the answer to Cove's question.

((From the Discovery of th Mountain Elves side thread, To: Rescue thread))

anyone outside, above ground with the rescuers + or Tidas, as he and any other with (Strong sending range maybe?)with Tidas underground might hear? IDK.

Now, with her mood turned to duty, she sends to the two scouts in the Trees waiting for Lord Tidas, Kashee and Silvermoon to return, if they have not yet.

Open sending for all in the range of the area above ground. **Moonstone! Shaft, We are close now, you might see or hear us. I am with Summerbreeze and his Mountain elves. They have their wolves with them. They seem to mostly be well and three gliders are floating in the sky as scouts now too. They have all been informed of the two new Troll tribe mates.**))

"Let's go back to the tree...."

Tidas looked his longtime friend in the eyes. He felt no need to calm down, for the first time he wanted to do something without thinking, give in to his feelings, not caring he was their Chief....

Chief....

He had always felt he was right for the task. He had been chief for countless tides and the safety and happiness of his people had always been more important to him then his own. Thinking about the next step, the next hunt, the next argument to settle, seeing couples build a life together and even dealing with Raven felt like part of his job and he never had any problems doing so.

But today....
This brutal attack on his people and him, the needless killing of their tribesmembers, the .....

Ofcourse Silvermoon would be the one standing up against him, to calm him before doing anything he would certainly regret....
"Friend, I know in my head that you are right, but...." He continued locksending to her, because he didn't want others to hear this. **For once I don't want to act as chief, don't want to think about how my action will effect you or my tribe... for once...**
He sighed and closed his eyes. The rage was slowly fading, but he wasn't sure he wanted it to fade.

He looked around, some looked shocked, others understanding.
"I apologize... I should not have reacted like this." He said to no one in particular. "Let's return and see where the others are."
He walked back to the entranche of Two Towers and ignored their fallen friends and kin. Their lives will be remembered, their death mourned and their spirits celebrated.

The way back to the hidden tree felt shorter, maybe because they didn't searched survivors or maybe it only felt shorter in Tidas' head. But soon he saw the tree and relaxed a little more.

((OoC: After everyone has posted we will jump to the 'The Old Holt and Surroundings RP' and the 'Discovery of Mountain Elves Return! (From Rescue thread) RP' can join us there ))

Post by moonstone on May 21, 2017

Moonstone heard the soft footfalls in the tunnels and breathed slowly as slowly each of the survivors emerged from the entrance. She shoved her staff back into its sheath and began to gather branches and clean leaves to create resting places for the hurt to lay on while they stumbled to each. She could feel the anger still within Lord Tidas and made sure that fresh water was gathered and given to each. The young elf went from each resting place to the next to quickly wash flesh and bind the wounds with strips of cloth or leather that she pulled from the tattered remains of her clothes.

"Where do we go now?" She whispered as she stood up and flexed her back to ease the dull ache that came from bending over and helping as many as possible.

Post by Silvermoon on May 21, 2017

Silvermoon watched Tidas walking through the tunnel. Being a leader wasn't something she envied, although some came to her for advice.
She and a few others were the longest living elves of their tribes, but she never felt old or ancient.
She sighed too and walked back to Santiara.

May 2, 2017 Santiara said:

"Yes, where will we go after we are all out of here and ready to move on?" She too wanted to know the answer to Cove's question.

"First we will gather in the old Holt. Kimu went another way just before we entered Two Towers, my guess is Odd-thing picked up something and she went along to investigate." She check to see if Santiara rode Merle in the right way, not to cause pain for Merle.
The fresh air felt and smelled good and she was glad they were outside again.

"After that we will need to find food and enough fresh water to reach the island where the others are. Then I think weshould do council on our next step, where to go, because the island is too small for us all...."
She nodded grateful to Moonstone when she handed her fresh water, took a small sip and gave therest to Santiara.

The rest of the way she was in thought. "We will find a new home, far from here, with allwho want to join." She smiled at Moonstone. "And who knows, we might even meet more elves."

Post by Shaft on May 21, 2017

Shaft was relieved when the others emerged unharmed from the tunnels Tidas looked strained to her but who was not at this point. Upon seeing Santaria on a wolf Shaft had never seen she was surprised. **All is clear so far are we heading back to Merle's den? New Wolf friend Silvermoon?** She jested trying to lighten the air.

More so when it's piercing blue eyes looked up at where she was in her tree. She about fell off her branch when it locksent to her. Lock sending back and regaining her branch.

**MERLE! Well of course it was the only safe and hidden place I could think of. Oh thank the Highones you are okay and Moondove is as well.** She cheerful blonde glider was a friend and had gotten Shaft out of a couple predicaments in the past. She did not mention Vaun but the unspoken feeling hung heavy in both of their sendings not knowing if he was alive captured or otherwise.

Post by Merle on May 21, 2017

Merle tread carefully to give Santaria the least amount of effort to stay balanced and looked up at Shaft **Not exactly Shaft.** She locksent to the Jackle wolfrider amused and also letting her known Moondove was safe elsewhere.

Looking to Silvermoon **I will go scout once we are back at my den and keep an eye out for the others. Hopefully they will not be held up in there travel.**

May 2, 2017 Cove said:

**I am so sorry my friend!** He locksend to him. **We are still together, we will stand strong together!**

**Yes! Together with Jewel. She took care of me after the attack.** He felt gratefull towards her and wanted her to be a part of his new family.

"Will we go to an island? But then we will need to get into boats and .. go over the water. What if the boat sinks? What if we get lost?" He was worried. He never cared for water, at least not for swimming. If he could stand in the water and the water reached no higher then his hips he was fine.... Water was for drinking or washing, nothing further!
