"Hmm i bet...." she smiled, "so how long have you been living here yourself?"

Rhea shrugged, "About..." Rhea paused to think and then looked up again, "7 month...ish," Rhea laughed, And began to walk again, heading off to the Town hall.

"WOAH!....i've never stayed any one place from more than 2-3 weeks at most!.....well till now" she smiled cocking her head to the side then following Rhea------town hall-->

----------> Town hall

-------------Fields--------->

Mika, the two spirit animals, and Stark leading the roan stallion walked down the main street. "Over there is the warehouse. It is storing the crops harvested this year, and the horses from Cahoon. It also houses several goats from Cahoon. See..Vandecar is a farming village and Cahoon is a ranching village. We decided it would be easier to move the animals rather than the feed when merging. Over there is a village market that I believe Cahoon's merchant Ronan Dex is going to be fixing up, and over there is a Library. Straight ahead is the town hall where all the villagers are staying. There is a main room, a girls room and boys room" Mika smiled explaining like tour guide

He nodded and listened.
"Sounds like You All Have everything well worked out." He said thoughtfully.

He felt his vision blur suddenly. 'Ah' He thought knowingly.
He looked down into a shiny spot on his Saddle.
His once green eyes had turned a Sparkeling Gold.

"Well we have been working on the villages for about a year so" she shrugged. She looked over when he looked away and then his eyes changed. "That is...interesting" she said cautiously watching him.

"Intersesting?" He asked.
"More like a Curse." He smiled and looked down.

"My eyes change nearly Daily... All My life I've been a freak." Was all he said.

Mika raised an eyebrow "What kind of curse?" she asked gently but with caution in her voice. She stopped and wouldn't lead him any farther into the village until she was sure he wasn't a threat.

"Its a term" He said, trying to contain a laugh.
"There is no actual curse." His eyes sparkled genuinly.

Mika crossed her arms "Then please excuse me if this sounds rude" Mika said gently but firmly "but why do they change color?" she asked tilting her head to the side.

"I dont know." He said with a laugh.
"Always have. As far back as I can remember..." He patted Raj's Blue gray neck.

"Ok..do you know anything about the revenge riders?" Mika asked causally

He turned away.
"Can I trust you?" He asked.
But he knew he didnt have to ask, so he didnt wait for an answer.

"My name is Julian Stark. No one can know that." He looked her with all seriousness.
"I'm here looking for a girl named Tyler. She's in Danger."

Mika looked at him. "Can I trust you?" she asked. "Why would she be in danger?"

"On my honor" He said, putting a large hand on his chast and bowing his head.
"The man who killed her brother.. He's After her." His eyes were Darak and truthfull.
"She knows somthing... Somthing that no one should know. I've come to protect her." He paused.
"I've come to take her to a Safe Haven. A place where she will NEVER have to worry."

Mika listened carefully. "Tyler is a Cahoonian under my protection. How do I know you were not sent from the man that is trying to kill her to trick us and ride off with her and take her back to him?" Mika asked

He winced.
"I would never." Was all he could say.

She pushed his palms face up and showed his wrists to her.
"Because the man that wants her, gave me these scars... The day he killed my Father."
There were Thick slits accross each wrist, and he became uincomfortable just looking at them.

~Your ok Jul-I mean stark...Just breath.~
~Everytime I see these Damn Scars it takes me back to that day.~

Mika looked at him with suspicious eyes. Her eyes grew slightly as she saw the scars on his wrists. "I am sorry for your loss" she said quietly. He jaw twitched. "Very well you may come see her...but if she does not want to go or casts any suspicion on your background she will be defended" Mika said firmly.

He nodded.
"as you wish."

"This way" Mika motioned and led him to the main hall.


--------Town Hall-------->

Julian Stark Pushed Raj into a trot and followed Mika towards town hall.

------------------->Town Hall

Kai stepped from the town hall, she held her stomach, "Please calm down little one" she pleaded and started to walk into the night, Shiroi walked beside Kai once in a while looking up at her, Kai looked down, ~What is it Shiroi?....you hungery?~ i asked, ~ he stood still then sat down, ~Kai....you need to sleep....we should head back, i don't think it's a great idea to walk around in the 'cold dark of night' you could freeze out here...or get lost then freeze~ he stated simple. Kai laughed and turned and pulled Shiroi up and held him, at that moment the 'little one' calmed down, ~Woah!...Shiroi, it likes you!~ she laughed and sniggled him close, ~If you were cold and tired...and afraid of getting lost you should have told me~ she snickered, ~Hey!...i umm well.......~ he looked down. ~It's ok Shiroi i was getting cold too, and it is time to sleep...and now that the 'little one' had stopped kicking around i just might be able to sleep~ she smiled into the darkness, ass she started her way back. ~You know i can walk...~ Shiroi said after a few minutes. ~I know...but i haven't carried you in a while...well since you were little i guess, or when you fainted~ she laughed, ~Hey that's not funny Kai, i can't help it~ he whinned. i just snickered. ~I know Shiroi, it's not your falt that we are so conected....in fact i like it, it's better that being alon--~ she sighed reaching the door. ~Kai?~ Shiroi asked, ~Don't worry your self out of sleep....i'm ok, i was just thinking and remembered something,...something i never thought of~ she said, ~What is it?~ he enquired. ~A lost memorie? maybe....i dont' realy know, yet~ she said intering the town hall. ~I'll see if i can see it in a dream maybe....i can do that sometimes....so i'll give it a try~ she smiled----T-hall--->

Mika heard the birds chirping and listened to the choruses of spring as the spring air caressed her face.

" No Jarlon would have wanted it that way" I reassured her "It's fine really, I won't love him any less because of a name....It's finally upon us" I put an arm around Mika. "Spring, we need to speak about merging villages soon, because I need to get to work in tilling the fields." I smiled and looked up at Samba
