Town Hall

He had heard of it too. He sat and listened, and Let Saron play solo.
As a child, the song had been played by his mother to him when he was sad, or upset, Happy, or sick.
It reminded him so much of her.

Mika listened as the familiar notes filled the air. She had first heard the song from a Scotsman that worked at the ranch. She had loved the song since she first heard it. She smiled over at Saron as her eyes closed with the notes.

Zirean Listened to the song as it continued through. She let her thoughts wander into happier moments. Without knowing it she soon fell asleep.
(Sorry for being late.I had to do chorse, then we had to wait out a thunderstorm. So i'm using my labtop right now, Done for today. See u guys tommarow.)

(g'night see ya tomorrow, i have to drive to nebraska tomorrow so i'll be on my phone...or should be)

I smiled as Zirean seemed to be asleep....I walked over and covered her up then went and sat beside Mika "Feel any better" I whispered a bit

Mika smiled as Saron walked over. She nodded "My head ache is starting to go away. And my belly is feeling better." She leaned her head against him and closed her eyes. "I was so scared" she said softly

"And I was scared with you" I whispered into her hair and closed my eyes to hold back the tears again "I couldn't imagine losing him"

Mika nodded and nuzzled into him. "I guess I need to stay around Rial a little more?" she asked quietly

As Zirean slept she drempt that The Revenge troops had captured her and held her prisoner.
'What am I going to do now?'She thought to herself.
Mithous was next to her and nuzzled her.
He said ~It's alright well get out of this.~
She nodded but said nothing. She was frightened, her worst enemies had found her at last and captured her.
~I've failed mom and dad.~ Zirean complained.
~There's still a chance, who knows you may get out of this, alive.~Mithous advised her.
She noticed a pain in her right sholder.
~That old wound keeps acting up, it hurts.~She said.
Mithous laid down beside her.
~Um, Zirean. That's not a scar, its a fresh wound.~ He said.
Zirean started to panic, 'Oh,no. I can feel the poison coming back!'She screamed to herself.
Mithous whinnied for help but no one came. He continued to call and call. The wound hurt so much that she was lying down and breathing hard. She wanted to get out of this nightmare. The first person she saw that was dressed like any other Revenge troop, was Saron. She started crying she thought she loved him. The dream got so bad that she woke up Screaming.......
*Back to Reality, several hours later.*
"No! No...No!" She couldn't contain herself, she had to get up. When she did she got a rush of dizzyness. "NO......Ouch......." Her right shoulder acted up again. Breathing hard, from the dream and sweating, she heard voices behind a door.

After some much needed sleep I awoke to screaming. My eyes flew open and I crawled to Zireans side. "What's wrong, are you ok?"

After a few minutes of relaxing she saw that Saron had asked her 'what was wrong.' She heaved a sigh of releief and said shakely "I'm ok, now. Just....a bad dream." She looked out a nearby window and saw that the sun was starting to come up. She didn't want to tell him that it was about him, well not at first, but the last part.

Mika had fallen asleep snuggled next to Saron. Her eyes flew open when she felt him leave her side and she heard screaming. She sat upright and looked around with wide eyes. She saw no danger and relaxed slightly. She listened and then slowly stood up. She quietly walked over. "You ok?" she asked gently and looked between Saron and Zirean

I dropped my head when she said it was just a bad dream "good" I sighed a breath of relief "how does your arm feel?" I asked removing the bandage, with utter concentration I 'admired' my work and had to smile.

Zirean nodded shakely and put her hand on her forehead. She closed her eyes. "Revenge Troops......everywhere. Trapped." She shook some more, and started sweating even more.She just couldn't tell them about Saron. Zirean looked down at her shoulder. She leaned back, blood was oozing out "Oh great." She whispered.

"The dream?" I asked confused "You are safe here with me, with us" I smiled "No harm will come to you here" I tried to reassure her as I dabbed the oozing wound and placed the banadage back over-"don't remove that for 2 days"

She groaned as Saron told her she had to have bandages on for two days. "So I can't ride for two days?" She asked him.

"You can ride of course, to your own consiquences" I nodded "Just don't take off the bandage-it will pull off the scab and cause problems...OK" I smiled a dimpled smile

Mika listened and nodded. She disappeared for a moment and came back with some hot tea. "Here drink this, it will stave of infection" she offered

Zirean did as she was told. She wanted to get back on and ride. As she drank the tea.The pain slowly dissolved. She said "Thank you." Zirean laid back down again. Though unable to sleep. There were nights she was so scared she just would ride her fears away. 'Not this time' She thought to herself. She stared up at the ceiling, thinking to herself.

I stepped back as mika gave our new member her tea. I watched her for several mintues and rubbed the back of my arm before turning to the fire that was dwindling

Zirean stared at the celing, now unable to sleep. She wanted to get out of bed. Zirean started slowly lifting her back, so she could prop herself up. Being a restless sole she was unable to stay in one spot for very long.

Mika noticed Zirean was having a little trouble going to sleep. When she refilled her tea she slipped in a gently relaxant. She watched her sip from the cup and saw her eyelids start to get heavy as she relaxed. Mika started to sing a soft folk song.

Zirean heard the music as she drank a second cup of tea. She started feeling sleepy and she settled back down. Her eyelids started closing and she was soon asleep.

I smiled at the soft gentle voice of Mika. My eyes were soon caught as Zirean peacefully layed back down and went to sleep. I shook my head and headed for the door. I threw my white hood over my head and stepped out the door closing it behind me. I needed to clear my head.

................Enchanted forest (where i will bring in Athara be back in an hour)

Mika sang the song and by the end Zirean was sound asleep. Mika turned and watched Saron disappear out the door. She sighed slightly but knew he needed to be alone. She needed to keep an eye on their newest member. She found the blankets and such from the night before and made a soft kinda couch that she could lay/sit on so she could get comfortable, or at least as comfortable as possible.

................Jarlon's grave

About as slowly as I could walk I walked the path. What path that was I wasn't sure, was it the path to a new life, or back to the old? Frustrated I kicked a rock and it skidded across the grass and startled a grouse. She flew up her wings whistling through the night. I got to a familiar building, the warmth coming through the walls. I leaned against it and slid to the ground
