Part 1 "The Travelers"

MystressKatt.....

Instantly awakened by Ravens movements, I jump up with him and look at him intently. "What's wrong?" and give a puzzled glance around, feeling something odd but unable to pin point it and figure it must just be the last of the poison working its way out of my system.

Moving closer to Raven, I watch him closely, puzzled at the color of his eyes and lightly put my hands on his sides.

Raven.....

When Kat touches my sides I jump a little. "I dont know. Somethings wrong and the BEAST is trying to get out." Looks around the cave. "Noones here but I feel someone is watching us." Puts hand on rapier. "We need to leave as soon as possible. And I need to feed properly. As soon as the night is fully here im gonna go and feed. Then we should leave."

MadMax.....

*Looks again into mirror as soon as Mothers spell is cast, my eyes narrowing dangerously.* "He senses us Mother! How can this be? It must be my magic in him. But why can't she tell, she shares the magic! Fix it so that he can't sense us now Mother!"
*Listens to Mother tell me she is unable to do my bidding*. Shoving her roughly out of my way I storm off to my rooms, growing tired swiftly. Screaming out "Watch them Mother and don't let them get out of sight again! I want to know where the damned bitch is every second so when I am strong again I can go kill her and that man of hers!"
As I start to fade to sleep, slamming my fist into her old pillow "Enjoy your time now, Katt, you bitch. I will be back for you, only this time your going to wish you had never heard of me!"

MystressKatt.....

"Ok, luv, I'll make sure everyone is ready to go while you feed. RedDragon suggest Ireland and I think we may enjoy it there."

Wrapping my arms around his waist in comforting move, I gasp as I hear a familar male voice faintly telling me to enjoy my time and he will return, sending the tiniest of trembles through me.

Pulling Ravens head down to mine, I kiss him deeply for a few moments, to distract us both. But I pull back and look at him with shock on my face as I hear yet another voice faintly, a womans....."Katt, be cautious. He's weak for now but I can't control him anymore. Be safe, daughter, for you will always be my daughter, no matter what he does." Tears fill my eyes as I whisper "Thank you Mother McGregory" then mentally tell Raven what I just heard.

Raven.....

Hearing Kats words my eyes turn firey red and I growl "MAX!!!!" Kissing Kat I say "Ill be back shortly. Bear. Phang. Stay on guard. I dont know how but I think ole Max the sorcerer is watching us." I take off moving like the wind to find my victim.

Moving past the forest I see some soldiers burning a village. "This is gonna be fun." I grab the first as he is about to toss a torch. I sink my teeth viciously into his neck, drink deeply then cut his head off with my dagger. Another sees this happen and calls out for reinforcements. There is only a small platoon of 15 there. Well 14 now. They all draw swords and I draw my rapier and dagger. Three of them rush at me and with three quick movements they all fall. One pierced through the heart an the other two through the neck. Then they all charge. Picturing Max in my mind I easily kill all but one of them. Seeing his platoon lying on the ground around me he takes off running. Easily I catch him. Grinning I say "Did you really think I was gonna let you live." With that I tackle him and rip out his heart and eat it. I decapitate all of them and bury their heads seperate from their bodies.

MystressKatt.....

Looking around the group after Raven leaves, I ponder what to do to protect them. Deciding a vision blocking spell is needed, I place myself in the center of everyone and kneel, head bowed, pulling up energy.

Standing, my eyes glowing purple in my anger, frustration and hatred, I stretch my arms out and cast a strong, long lasting spell.

"Taegair neach sin coisich le'r cróilean uapa radharc" (Protect any person that travels with our group from their power of vision) and a thick rouke floats from my fingers and coats everyone then fades invisible and unfeelable.

"When Raven gets back we should leave. I'll be back in a little bit" Walks out the cave entrance and finds a secluded space in the woods. Pulling my claymore, I begin practicing and sparring with shadows, occasionally attacking a tree, after a long while becoming covered in sweat and trembling in tiredness.

MadMax.....

Awakened a short time later. Damn her, I can never get enough rest before she invades my dreams! *Throws myself out of the bed and angerly strides to mothers chambers, slamming the door open.
Going to the fog covered I tense as I see nothing. Roaring out angerly "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE MOTHER!? WHY CAN'T I SEE THEM?" Striding over to her swiftly I grab her by her hair and drag her to the mirror. "Fix it NOW" Listening to her explain Katt casting a spell and now only that man can be seen until he rejoins the group.
Stalks down to the dungeon and a short time later, screams of terror are heard all through the castle.

JondalarGhosty.....

*cries* nooo, my daddy cant come back! him hurts momma too much. *sits beside the phang guy, silently, knowing momma wants left alone.

LittleBearWolf.....

*wakes with a start and pulling tam very close not knowing what is going on then i see jon very close to phang and ask jon sweet heart what is wrong ?
then i look for kat and raven and do not see them ok where are the love birds?

JondalarGhosty.....

*Looks sadly at Aunty Bear* "Momma told Raven sumfin wif her mind and him growled out MAX...Aunty Bear, me thinks me daddy is coming back and I dun want him too. Him always hurts momma! Why did momma have to make that vow that only her or her blood ken kill daddy? Hers more vulnble cause of it cause hers has to stop anyones that try an kill him whilst her around. Tis not fair! I should be growed up now n prtecting her and I's just a kid ghosty! Her kent kill him, n I's her only blood!"

MystressKatt.....

Having walked silently back to the cave, I stop in the shadows and listen to what Jondalar has to say to Bear. My eyes again turn purple with my intensified emotions and I silently back away and head back to the clearing I found.

Sheilding myself so no one may feel me or hear my thoughts and voice "Artemis, I know your here. Show yourself. I'm sheilded."

Artemis appears "What do you wish to talk about Katt?"

"I wish to hear my vow concerning Maximillian word for word again."

"Very well, Katt. Your vow... I, Kaitlyn Shylah Brina Grear Kacey Aithne McLeod McGregory vow that in my presence only I or my blood may kill Maximillian McGregory as long as my sons spirit may stay with me, unharmed and able to act as a normal child in almost all ways...You have kept your vow so far and I have kept my word that your son stays with you. You know you must never reveal this vow. Only you, Jondalar and I know about this. What trick are you planning Katt? You have tried so many times to work around your vow without breaking it."

Grinning at her "No trick my Lady. Tis not me to use trickery against the Gods, and I am a woman of my word. You know this. But you have confermened something for me and I thank you. I must return to them now." and kneel before Artemis for her blessing, which I receive.

Smiling, I walk back to the cave and go sit with Jon and the others, patiently waiting Raven's return.

Raven.....

After the bodies are buried I lie in the grass staring at the sky. Thinking about my last fight with Max. So many questions I havent had the chance to ask. Remembering what I told everyone I get up and hurry back to the cave. When I get there I see everyone sitting waiting for me so we can leave. And Kat smiling. There is something about that smile.

MystressKatt.....

As soon as I see Raven, I move towards him, pulling him back outside with grin. "I canna explain why nor answer any question you may have with what I'm about to tell you but you must trust me. When you need to feed properly next, you must use me, and I don't mean the little bit to tide you over. I can only say I am bound by my word with silence."

Mentally I send a swift "But Jondalar is not!" and give him a kiss. Pulling back I grin again then drag him towards the others. "Shall we get this show on the road my friends?"

Raven.....

Silent for a moment trying to figure out whats going on with Kat. Snapping out of it I say "Yes we need to quickly." Ill get with Jon to find out whats going on after we get where we are going.

MystressKatt.....

Looking around the group, I realize I don't have the strength to portal everyone. Remembering Red had said something about riding him, I ponder the thought. "How about Phang, Bear, Nuke, Ziek, the kidos and the dogs ride Red and Raven can come with me on Feather Feet? Hows that sound everyone?"

Grabbing Tam's hand, I lead her out to FF. "Want to watch something neat?" Blowing a little bit of myst out, I form it into a sort of face shield in front of her face. "Now watch through this myst, you'll see something only I see."

"I call upon the power of the Valkerie" and off in the distance Tam and I watch a horse swiftly appoaching us from the sky. In a very short time it lands beside FF and then blends with FF. Instantly FF looks different. Giggling at Tam's expression "Now Feather can fly. Its a rare kind of magic."

TamazineWolf.....

start pouting not fare auntie kat i want to go with yous. uncle red i have ridden him befor i want to ride ff . pouts and sit in the ground i wont go then

MystressKatt.....

"Tam, I have to be on FF and would like a little bit of time with Raven. Be a good kiddo and go with the others and I promise to take you on FF sometime soon, just us. We need to get moving soon because of the danger. Now brush the dirt off your tush and get ready to go." *reachs down and scoops Tam up for a hug*

LittleBearWolf.....

*hears foot steps and follows the sound to where i see a man walking toward us i stop and grab my sword then i hear him calling my name and wounder if it really can be true and that he found us ? i wait and watch him getting closer and see yes it is him he found me and tam and i race to him and wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his shoulder and breath in deep his scent and hold him close then i remember the others and send kat a message and tell her ever thing is ok i am with my hubby and then we walk back to the others and to tam . ever one meet my mate wolfmystic

WolfMystic.....

after finally reuniting with his mate littlebearwolf and daughter tam looks around and greets everyone it is very nice to meet all and to finnally be back with his family once again.

MystressKatt.....

As soon as I see Bear reaching for her sword, mine is drawn and at the ready in a single smooth motion with my right hand and my left is sweeping Tam behind me as I go into battle stance, all without thinking.

Upon seeing Bear hug the man, I sheath my sword again, grumbling under my breath to Bear that I was gonna send her into hybernation and grin while watching them hug.

Walking over to Wolfmystic, I extend my arm "Greetings WolfMystic, I am KrazyKatt but please feel free to call me Katt. Would you like some tea while we wait for Red to wake up?" and to proceed to create a fire and tea stuffs for everyone.

While the water is heating over the fire I walk over to RedDragon and stepping nearly into his ear, tensing, ready to race off scream as loud as I can "REDDD WAKE THE HADES UP!! YOU'VE A GROUP THAT IS READY TO TRAVEL AND YOUR STILL SNORING AWAY!!' WAKEY WAKEY! Danger follows us and we need to leave here as soon as possible!' Then race over to Bear in case Red decides he wants a Katt snack.

TamazineWolf.....

*see my mom huging my daddy and i want to run to them but anuty kat wont lets me .

MystressKatt......

Watching the boy tickling Tam, I giggle, enjoying the moment. Then go instantly quiet and stiff. I hear a faint whisper "Katt, he is sending scouts to find you. I can only stall a few more moments before I must portal them to you. Leave now!"

Immediatly looking around the group, I access the situation and decide Raven and I are going to have to portal them and RedDragon can lead us to his castle later. "No time to explain, everyone get on Red NOW!".

Knowing Bear will get her hubby and kids, I head into the cave and shoo Phang, Ziek and the animals out to Red, and help Ziek get up, then the dogs. Mounting FeatherFeet, I double check to make sure we have everyone while waiting for Raven to hop on and start pulling our energies.

Raising my arms, a wild wind begins blowing as the air around us begins to distort. Yelling about the noise "Triall gu Éirinn" (depart to Ireland), there is sudden blackness and all is completly still for a couple moments then we are onland again, this time in Ireland.

LittleBearWolf.....

watch as kat get on ff and i reach down and pic up tam and tell wolfmystic to grab kod and we run toward red but i feel something pulling me back to where kat and raven was so i hand tam to wolfmystic take her and follow red and i head back toward kat and then i see what i felt pulling me back and i lay a hand on kats leg and send her all my extra engery and make sure her and raven have enough engery for this fight and tell her try and portail us all out of here we can leand you engery
