Kiala started walking as soon as Tefnut secured Mino's hind legs behind her. She struggled a little, trying to balance the weight on her back. The time that she spent on her own gave her strength and taught her her hunting skills that she had acquired. It was either be an excellent huntress or die of starvation. She could see the den, but with the added weight, it looked sooooo far away from her. She could make it, though. She had to.
She turned her head slightly as she saw Fire quickly approach them. She smiled at his first words of his sudden dissappearance, nodding that she understood. She then listened as he told them that they were being followed. She hadn't come into contact with Jahina members since she had joined the pride, and she wasn't sure if that was who Fire was talking about. She didn't want to have her first encounter now, though. With Mino in his condition, it was best that they get him back to safety. And the faster they could do this, the better.
With added courage and a bit of adrenaline, she pushed her body to move faster, carrying Mino along with her. Slowly, the den became closer and closer, until she could actually see those who kept guard at the den. She wanted to yell, but she decided to keep her strength focused on her duty.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Gargoroth listened intently as Legacy spoke. He wondered in his mind why again he was doing this. Why should he be thrown to the bottom of a pride's ladder rung when he didn't really even care about them? All he saw in this was an oppertunity. When Legacy put him under the guidance of Bleak, Gargoroth followed closely behind, listening to everything that he had to say. If he had to endure this torture, he may as well be a good follower so that he could climb the ladder more easily. Then everyone would see his true potential. He looked as Bleak pointed out the lioness that he had seen before along with liopardess they were suppossed to retrieve. He thought to himself of a way this could be done, so that when the time came, he could be the one doing the planning. He then slinked along with Bleak so that they could have a better look at Otana territory, making their way to the den.

Tefnut saw they wer nearly at the Otana den. She kept wondering Fire's words, but she was pretty sure of who was following them. She looked around,as if searching a sight of black fur and yellow eyes in shadows.
Waste of time to do so, she thought then and concentrated on what she was supposed to do - making sure Mino woudln't fall. I' not able to see Bleak if he's the one who follows us...
As they were getting closer to the Otana den she got a bit nervous.
"Guys" she said then. "I think I should get back to the jungle. I have my reasons that I don't want to get near the Otana den."
She continued running though, but only that she could hear the replies.

Kiala looked up at the den and then to Tefnut. She nodded, understanding why she wanted to leave. She wasn't accustom to the land's traditions, but knew that the Otana might not take kindly to a former Jahina. She then smiled at Tefnut, something she also didn't do too often. It was almost a sign of trust.
"Thank you for all of you help." She looked back up at the den and then back to Tefnut. "I'm sure Mino thanks you as well..." She continued to make her way to the den, her legs extremely tired and almost ready to buckle out from beneath her. She really was lucky, and so was Mino, that he was a smaller lion. If he had been any bigger, she might not have been able to get him to safety.

Tefnut smiled to Kiala and then turned to walk away. She wasn't sure if Fire still wanted to come to the jungle or if he'd stay with the Otanas, now that Mino was badly hurt. But Tef didn't stay there and wait for him, she wanted to go away alone.
As Bleak saw Tefnut leaving the others he grinned. Remembering that Gargoroth was with him he turned to look at him.
"Come now" he whispered. "We will now follow her."
Bleak turned and slowly walked after Tefnut. He kept himself hid in the shadows as he followed the liopardess. Tefnut seemed to be heading towards the jungle. As she dissappeared between the first trees of the jungle, Bleak stood up. It was pointless to follow her there.
Atleast she's not on the Otana lands, he thought.
"Ok, now we're heading back to Jahina cave" Bleak informed to Gargoroth and started walking again. He wasn't speaking to Gargoroth, since he didn't feel it was necessary.
When they finally came near the cave of the Jahina pride, Bleak stopped.
"See that cave?" he said to Gargoroth and pointed towards the cave. "That is the home of Jahina pride."
Then he pointed to Avatarin that was lying outside the cave.
"That fellow is Avatarin" he told. "He's recovering from an attack at the moment. He was pretty badly hurt when Legacy dragged him back here..."
Then he pointed inside the cave.
"That is A-Thal-A-Dami. She has a sister too, but Ankh-Su-Namun is somewhere else at the moment..."
Now... If I just could find Legacy... Bleak thought. I want to know what Tefnut is up to...
He could easily find Tefnut from the jungle, since she usually was in the same places. But he felt that it was important to see what she was doing.

Fire saw that Tef wanted to go to the jungle. His mind suddenly came across something... The new lion... His eyes grew wide and then jumped out in front of her, giving Tef a glare to stay back.
"No, Tef. It's too dangerous... Your going to get hurt... Bleak and this new lion that I saw are going to seriously hurt you..." But that didn't stop Tef. She jumped ahead of Fire and then continued on her way into the jungle. He wanted to stop her, but he knew damn well that once Tef had her mind set on something, it was very hard for her to take her mind off of it. He rushed over to Kiala and Mino, helping Kiala set Mino down because she looked like she was about to pass out under the weight.

Kiala watched Fire chase after Tefnut as she finally made her way to the inside of the den. When Fire came back, together they carefully placed Mino on the cold stone floor, careful not to hurt his broken bones. She stepped away when the deed was done, her eyes full of concern. She didn't like seeing anyone in a state like this, let alone Mino.
Please let him be ok... she thought as she waited for any reaction from him at all.
________________________________________________________________
Gargoroth followed Bleak back to the Jahina territory, looking around at everything. He listened as he pointed out the members of the new pride he had joined, nodding to each in turn. He then waited for his next instructions, however much he hated being told what to do.

"I don't know what to do... I can't leave Mino like this... But, Tef is going to get herself hurt and she won't listen to me... She's stubborn that way."
He looked at Kiala with concerened eyes and then leaned down to lick Mino's neck a little, wanting him to speak or show any signs that he is alive. He never wanted the war to escalate this far. Having lions brutally torture other lions just because they are in different prides and, in Legacy's case, just for the fun of it. He sighed heavily and then looked out in the jungle, praying that Tef is all right.

Mino flinched as he let out a cough. Frowning lightly he opened his eyes ever so slightly. He tried his best to look around but his vision was blurred and he couldn’t exactly make anything out.
Where… where am I?
He thought as he looked around. Then he heard talking and for some reason it put him at ease. He smiled very faintly, but it disappeared as his eyes closed.

Kiala listened to Fire's words. She could tell that he cared a lot for Tefnut and understood why he was so concerned. Her attention then was focused upon Mino as he let out a cough. She jumped in suprise and looked at him, a little excited. She then turned to Fire.
"Look, he's waking up." She smiled and looked back to Mino. "Maybe he'll be alright, afterall..."

Fire's eyes grew wider as he heard that Mino waking up, turning his head to look at Mino and sighing in relief.
"I don't think he'll ever be the same, though..."

Naheera walked along kicking fallen tree brances and rocks that were on the ground.
"I want to be friends with someone from the other pride.." She thought to herself.
"But how to meet them..." SHe shook her head and kept walking.
"Stupid thought.." Nah mumbled.
Meanwhile Amaiza walked along her favourite route to get back to her pride's cave. She saw another lioness and stopped were she was. Even though she could clearly be seen. SHe looked at the brown lioness and hoped she wouldn't be seen.

Bleak was getting annoyed. He sighed quietly and turned to look at Gargoroth.
"Ok, I'm going to the jungle if anoyne is asking. I have some things to do" he said and turned to look at the caves. "You may go and look around the caves or speak with other members of Jahina, but stay near them and don't go wandering around."
After this Bleak turned and walked towards the trees of the jungle. He stopped for a moment as he was passing Avatarin.
"I'll go to see what Tef is up to and then look around the Otanas" he said. "Could you say that to Legacy if he asks?"
Bleak didn't wait for reply, he just walked to the jungle. As soon as he reached the first trees he went to the shadows and started heading towards the center of the jungle.

Fire never expected this to happen... Yet, during his time spent on the lands, the back of his mind was telling him that something had to be done before terrible things started happening. Of course, being around Tef kinda made him a bit stubborn as well. But, eventually, his consciense caught up to him... Unfortunately...
If there was a feeling that could describe the red-maned lion right now, it would be lost... Not lost physically, but lost in the depths of his mind and perceptions.
He was in need of someone to be close with right now. Someone that would just make him feel safe for now. He looks over to Kiala again and walks over to her, nuzzling his muzzle into her neck softly. He didn't care wether he just met her or that he didn't know where she came from. She seemed and was really nice and he just needed someone to comfort him...

Kiala's eyes went wide when she felt Fire nuzzle against her. She could feel her cheeks getting hot, and underneath her dark fur, her skin was turning a bright red. In reflex to his action, she quickly took a step back, her eyes staring at him. Her sudden grasp of control and leadership had escaped her, and her extremely timid nature was settling back in again. She continued to take another step away from the lion. She didn't realize why it was he had done this. All that she knew was that she was suddenly aware of everything and was scared.
"I...I....." She stopped and just stood there, looking at Fire, the fear evident in her eyes. She didn't know what to do. She realized that a mere nuzzle wasn't a big deal, but she was still shocked. No one had shown affection or anything to her since her mother, and she was confused. She then realized what might be going through Fire's mind, and that made her even more tense. Her tail was moving behind her quicklyand she looked away from Fire, looking to the ground. She hoped that she had not hurt his feelings, but at the same time, she couldn't help what she did.
_______________________________________________________________
Gargoroth watched as Bleack walked away, stopping to talk to some lion who seemed hurt. He wasn't much for social hour, so he decided to stay put, looking out into the lands that he now was to call home. He didn't know what to think. What was he doing? Hadn't he told himself that pride life was the farthest thing from what he wanted? He then realized why he had done it. He wanted to prove himself. He wanted to prove himself to someone who was stronger than himself. He wanted to show that he was better than his father....

Fire felt Kiala take a step back from him when he nuzzled her. He all of a sudden felt a rush of embarassment and a tinge of hurt as she stepped back, not knowing what her reaction was due to both of their flustered faces.
He tried to speak to her, but his words came out as if they were getting glued to his tounge and stopping just before they were let out. "I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... scare you..." He took a moment to gather his thoughts for a moment. "I should have known better since you had some pretty rough things happen... I can tell because your very timid when your around the pride... But, when I saw you take charge of rescuing Mino, I knew that there was a leader behind the timidness..."
Fire blushed a little after his speech. " I feel so awful, now......" He looks down at his paws sadly.

Kiala lifted her head when she heard Fire speaking to her. She listened to his words, feeling that he did understand why she did what she did. Her body lost its tenseness and she took a step closer to the male. Although she didn't know him, she knew he was hurting and that she should do something about it. She then looked down at Mino's body and decided to try and talk to Fire, despite her shy nature.
"I..." she said softly, barely audible. This was going to be hard. "I'm...I'm sorry. I..didn't mean to hurt you, don't...feel bad. I was scared is all..." Kiala took a few more steps toward him until she was close enough. She looked up at him and smiled a little. "I scare really easy." She was trying to be casual about all this, but you could tell that her voice was shaking. She wasn't used to one-on-one conversations, or for that matter, conversations in general.

Fire listened back to her words, feeling better about the current situation. He looks up from his staring at his paws to see Kiala. Even though that Fire was a little shaken from all of the events and sudden rush of horomones, he managed to smile a little back at her. "Thank you. It's not your fault..." He sighs a little. "It's just... Somehow, I knew this was eventualy going to happen. I wanted to do something about, but I was afraid no one was going to take me serious enough. I know they would pay attention to me, but they wouldn't truly understand and thought it was going to happen." His face was a lot calmer than it had been before.
He took a few steps closer to her, standing only a few metres away from her body and looking at her with a tinge of warmness. "I just thought that... Since you were really bold and brave to take charge, despite your shyness, that you had overcome the timidness. Heh... I guess it was a little too early then, huh?" He smiles more happily, trying to lighten the mood up a little and calm Kiala down.

Kiala smiled a little at Fire's remark and then looked down at Mino. "I only did it because he was in need of help. I thought that if I didn't do anything, Mino would die out there...That scared me more than talking to you and Tefnut. It scared me a lot..."
She looked up at Fire, her smile gone and a saddened look on her face. "I'm not brave. I just don't want to see others get hurt. Because..." She paused, thinking back to her past. She remembered things then that she didn't want to, and tears balled up in the corners of her eyes. She looked away, ashamed. She didn't want Fire to see her like this. She didn't want to let her emotions effect her like this while she was with another. She didn't want anyone to know the pain she held inside of her.

Fire felt sympathy for Kiala as some tears welled up in her eyes, not knowing how to react after turned her head away. His face revealed a concerned look to her, moving his muzzle in to hold her head up high so that to show her that it's ok. "It's ok... You can cry... It's good to cry..." He smiled at Kiala a little warmer. "I know what it's like... Not wanting others to get hurt because you have felt the pain that they feel when they are suffering... It's not nice..." He tried to be as warm and calm about the situation as he could. A sliver of a tear from his own eye forms.

(((OOC: Beware... this post is LONG... One of my longest ones I've ever done... >< )))
Bleak made his way quickly to the centre of the jungle and the area where he knew Tefnut would most likely be. He hadn’t to wait long until he saw the liopardess in one of the trees.
She’s listening the trees again, he thought a bit annoyed. He had once asked her about the ‘Song of the Trees’ as Tef called it, but he had never really understood what was so magnificent about it.
On the other hand, Bleak was a lion and Tef half leopard. Maybe that had something to do with it…
Bleak saw Tef climbing down from the tree and stretching herself. She seemed relaxed as she started walking towards the edge of the jungle. Bleak followed her, he wanted to know what she was up to. He also had to make sure she wouldn’t go and talk to more Otanas…
Especially Fire, for that matter…
Tefnut didn’t seem to be going any particular direction. She just followed some paths and was obviously in her thoughts.
I wonder… Bleak thought. How she would react if I’d appear in front of her?
Bleak grinned for the thought. He could have some fun with her, scaring her a bit.
But then he remembered Legacy.
No… That’s not a good idea.
Bleak didn’t want to do anything that would give Legacy a reason to ‘teach’ him.
Just like my former Master… he thought as his eyes flashed a bit. Not telling you straight what you are NOT allowed to do... Just the basics…
He would have sighed, but he didn’t since Tef could hear him.
Suddenly Tef stopped and looked up to the treetops.
“You might as well stop hiding” Tef said and sighed. “I know you’re there Bleak… I can feel someone is watching me.”
Bleak was surprised to hear this.
I must have been careless… he thought. He waited for a moment and then came away from the shadows, walking next to Tefnut.
She gave him a quick look and continued walking again. She didn’t like Bleak, she thought he was a bit creepy.
Bleak followed Tef.
“Why are you following me anyway?” she asked him annoyed after they had walked for some time. Bleak grinned.
“Because I have absolutely nothing to do at the moment” he said. “And because I want to know what you’re up to so that I can tell Legacy if I find your doings ‘interesting’…”
Tef looked at Bleak from her eye corner.
“I see…” she said. “And is this because father told you to do so?”
“Not exactly” Bleak replied and his grin faded away. “Actually he wanted me to be with this new lion that joined the Jahina pride today. I think he was called Gargoroth…”
Tef flinched.
Another member for Legacy to command… she thought a bit sadly. I wonder if the Otanas know about this… Gargoroth…
She decided she should tell someone from Otana about it, but with Bleak following her, she would never get close to the Otana territory.
“Why couldn’t you just come back to the Jahina?” Bleak suddenly asked. Tef didn’t reply, just continued walking. When there was no reply, Bleak stepped right in front of Tefnut.
“It would be a lot more easier for everyone if you’d do that” he said. “I’m sure no one would say anything if you’d return…”
“You know what” Tef said and turned to look at Bleak straight into eyes. “I don’t care what others would say… what you would say… or what father would say. I’m not coming back, and that’s it!”
She tried to continue her way, but Bleak stopped her.
“Is this because of your mother?” he asked on a low tone of voice. Tef’s eyes shot open in surprise.
“What do you mean… my mother?” she whispered a bit afraid. Bleak grinned.
“She was killed for a good reason” he said a bit devilishly. “She was sticking her nose to wrong places, if I could say so… I suggest you will stay out of the attempts to get peace between the two prides, or you’ll face the same destiny as your mother…”
Tef eyes went darker.
“How do you know what happened to my mother?” she asked suspiciously. “I thought only Legacy and I knew…”
She suddenly went silent as she understood.
“You…” she whispered in fear.
“Yes, me!” Bleak replied. “I did kill her… oh don’t you try to tell me about the stuff about the unknown wanderers killing her! I saw the life fading from her eyes. She did realize what made me kill her, but it was too late for her… She even begged to save her life, that she would go away and never return and try to make peace… But it was too late. Someone like her could never be trusted like that, given another chance! She couldn’t have stayed out very long, I’m sure of that… And so was Legacy, if I remember right…”
Tef was shocked. Now she knew what actually had killed her mother, who had willingly tried to make peace without even being a lion.
“You…” Tef finally managed to say. “You will pay for that!”
After this Tef suddenly ran towards the end of the jungle. Bleak tried to follow her, but somehow she managed to escape.
“Damn!” Bleak growled. “I lost her!”
In his anger he hit a nearby tree, making it crack and fall down. With an angry expression Bleak started his way back towards the Jahina caves.

Kiala closed her eyes as she felt her muzzle being moved to look at Fire and she flinched a bit. Her inability to keep from being scared, her body's unwillingness to trust anyone that might get close was frustrating her. This made her even more upset. She sniffed a bit, trying to hold back the tears despite what Fire was saying to her. She finally looks at him, her emerald colored eyes watery to the brim. A tear escaped and trickled slowly down her cheek, leaving a trail of darker grey fur behind it as it's wetness enveloped her fur. Fire was trying his best to help her, but he couldn't know what it was that was troubling her. Sure, she hated to see Mino, one of the only of the pride she knew by name, hurt like this, but it was memories from her past that was causing the waterworks. Knowing that she wasn't ready yet to discuss it, she tried playing it off as worries for Mino. She looked back at the injured lion, still laying on the floor where she had left him. "I...hope he'll be alright," she managed to choke out. Maybe one day soon, when her timid nature had left her and she had free reign over her trust, she would tell someone about her past. But that day was probably not very soon to come.

Fire felt Kiala flinch a little when he nuzzled her. Maybe now wasn't the time for her to be talked to right now. He sighed a little, wiping away his sliver on his shoulder and then looked over at Mino when Kiala did. "Yeah. To think, he was the one that meant to cause no harm..." His drive to take down Legacy was even stronger now. The thoughts of others getting hurt for a stupid and unconcerning reason was just wrong. Especially for lions such as Mino, Tef, Kiala, and himself. Innocent play as bait for the strong... If one tries to rise out from imprisonment, all of the others will be followers in your path to succeed... The thought continually ran through his mind. His father kept saying it to him when he was a very young cub, He was amazed that he still remembered it.

Tefnut reached the end of the jungle. She wasn't sure if Bleak had managed to follow her so she kept running. She ran through the grass as long as she could. When she felt tired she stopped and jumpped on a rock, looking back to the jungle. She couldn't see Bleak, but on the other hand, she never could...
Tefnut looked up to the sky, Bleak's words echoing in her head.
Why did he tell me? she wondered. I'm sure he shouldn't have... or was it too one of those orders from Legacy? Did father know...
Tef's eyes went darker as they flashed.
He must have known... she thought angrily. Why else would he have talked something about the wandering lions killing mother...
Tef sighed and jumpped down from her rock. She started walking around, not caring if she would walk on Jahina or Otana lands.
It didn't seem to matter...

Fire was still playing the saying through his mind when he saw a lioness walking through Otana lands. She was walking just along the border and it wasn't a good thing to be doing. Especially when Legacy was in his..."moods"...
When he took a double-take, he saw markings on the lioness that were very distinct. Tef... "Kiala, I see Tef. I'm going to go talk to her. She seems a little preturbed..." He starts running towards Tefnut, so glad to see her and hopefully talk her into getting some shelter before she gets hurt.

Tefnut heard someone coming towards her. She quickly lifted her head and showed her claws, in case it was someone like Bleak or Legacy. But when she saw Fore racing towards her she relaxed.
"Hay, Fire!" she said as he reached her. "I guess I'm on Otana lands then, hum?"
She sighed.
"How's Mino?" she asked. Though she didn't know Mino personally, she was still worried of him.

Fire slows down when he reaches Tef, breathing slightly heavier from the run. "Mino's not doing good... He's very weak... He has opened his eyes and coughed a bit... He's recovering." Fire sighed a little. "I just wish that none of this had happened..."
Fire had been complentating long enough about the war. He had the drive and willpower to do it and if he was sucessfull, the war would be over for good. "I have made up my mind. Tomorrow, I start training to fight Legacy... I have had it..."

"You start to do what?!" Tef asked in a shocked voice. She couldn't do anything else but to stare at Fire for a moment.
She finally managed to stop stareing and looked quickly around before turning back to Fire.
"Have you any idea how powerful he actually is?" she asked on a low tone of voice.
"And then there are Bleak and Avatarin... They'll fight for Legacy without hesitation. Oh, and before I forget..."
Tef took another look around.
"Legacy has a new follower" she said. "I'm not sure what he looks like, but I somehow know it's not a good thing... I overheard from Bleak that his name is Gargoroth."

"I don't care how many of them there are... If I die, so be it... The place that I go to can't be any worse than this..." Fire was pacing around as he walked, complentating about his decison. "Maybe... if I can just talk to them individually... Avatarin would come if I convinced him enough... The only reason that he follows Legacy is because he is scared..."
"I don't know about Bleak... I hate to see him get misguided... He has no reason to fight and kill others other than he works for Legacy... And Legacy has nothing to go on... Unless there's something personal that he hides...."
"And the new one... Gargaroth... I saw him before... His build is like Bleak's... except bigger... If I know Legacy well enough, he'll probably lie to him about what has happened... If I can get to him before Legacy before he feeds him any crap, then he might reconsider joining..."
Fire was now pacing more and then looking at Tef. "I want to do something... I can't just sit around anymore...

Kiala nodded as Fire said he was going after Tefnut. He really cares about her... she thought, smiling a bit as she watched Fire run off. She then got up and walked to Mino's side, looking down on him. She looked at him up and down, and couldn't believe that another lion would do this to him. She wondered if there was anything she could do to make him more comfortable, to make him recover more quickly. With nothing coming to mind, she decided the only thing to do would be to try and keep him warm. So, she, with a lot of mental forcing, layed down beside him, trying to get as close as she could so that he could use her own body heat. It was hard for her to make herself get this close to another, especially someone she really only knew by name. She put her head in her paws, looking the opposite way of Mino, and prayed that he would revive soon.

Tefnut gave Fire a concerned look. The look in Fire's eyes told her that she couldn't change his mind. She sighed and sat down.
"I know I can't stop you from doing this" she said and looked down to her paws. "I too have a desire to do something to stop this madness going on right now..."
She flinched a bit as Bleak's words came back to her mind.
“There's something you should know about Bleak” she said and turned to look at Fire again.
"He joined the Jahina pride some years ago" she started telling. "I myself was then just a small cub, but I remember well the day he came. My mom was still alive that time. Bleak was just an adolescent, but I saw he had been practicing his fighting skills well, maybe from his cubhoodness.”
Tef stopped for a moment.
“Anyway, he came to the Jahina territory, searching for a pride to join. He met me and Legacy inside the jungle, when he was teaching me to hunt.”
Tef stopped again. Her eyes flashed a bit.
“You wonder why he taught me?” she asked with a serious tone. “Well, he’s my father.”
“Anyway, Bleak didn’t beg about joining the Jahina. He actually informed that he would become a member of it, no doubt of that. I don’t know what happened next, because Legacy sent me to go back to the Jahina caves and to my mom. But the next time I saw Bleak he really was a member of Jahina. He got the duty to spy on the Otanas after Legacy found out his skill to use the shadows. After Bleak became full grown he got some other… duties to look after…”
Tef flinched again.
“Well… You know now that Legacy is my father, but how about my mom?” she continued. “She was a clouded leopard, a kind hearted person who was disgusted by the way the two prides fought against each other. She slowly started to work on peace behind everyone’s back. How do I know about it? She told me.”
Tef looked up at the sky.
“But she failed. Someone found out and she got killed. Me and Legacy found her body from the jungle one evening. I was still a small cub. It was painful to see mom like the way she was… If I hadn’t seen some of her fur and smelled it was mom, I wouldn’t have recognized her body. Legacy told me some wanderers had killed her but…”
Tef’s eyes turned darker.
“Now I know it was Bleak” she said on a painful voice. “I met him today at the jungle and he told me he killed mom… He waited and looked as the life faded away from her eyes…”
Tef gathered her thoughts again.
“Anyway, now that I know Bleak killed her, I’m pretty sure that Legacy knew about her peace efforts and maybe even told Bleak to kill mom. I’m not positive, but that’s the way I believe right now.”
Tef stopped speaking. Bleak’s words came to her mind again, warning that if someone from Jahina found out she was trying to end the war, her destiny would be the same as her mothers. She took a deep breath and looked to Fire.
“I don’t know why I told you this all” she said. “All I'm trying to say is that Bleak is fighting for Legacy, because he finds it entertaining. So be carefull with him."
