*Midnight smiles and nods her head.*
Yes please, would love one...
Sounds a bit like the Watchers ...but we learn about the past..or some of us do anyway...we all learn different areas. Though our beliefs are more that what ever the gods want to happen will...whether you stay where you are or go out looking for it....seems the gods have a twisted sense of humour though....
*Midnight looks out across the pool to the otherside of the it and watches as the night animals come out to play, hunt and work. Keeping away from the two strangers and the fire. She stops drying her legs and stretches them out then crosses them.*
Good luck to your future Wolf and may the gods grant you a good life, fufilled and a happy one.
Any ideas about what you are going to do when you leave Dunnfalls?

wolf smiles as he passes a smallish horn shaped wine skin to midnight* the godess freya once said that sometimes you must walk against the flow of the river to move forward..she also said that it is better to relax and let the river take you as the river knows its course.. i am thinking that perhaps i will relax and go with the course the river has forged...
*uncovers the heavenly smelling salmon takes the wrapped fish out of the hole and cuts the whole package in half..passes half to midnight*
yourself?

*Midnight accepts the horn of wine and smiles her thanks taking a sip of it.*
That's nice...
*She then takes the salmon and smiles at the delicious smell.*
Thanks...and you will tell me the recipe to this one day.
*Midnight takes a couple of bites before answering.*
I have people's deaths to avenge before I can even think of just going with the flow of the river. After that is done...
*Shrugs*
Who knows...guess a break from all this running and fighting would be nice...would also be nice not to lose the people you care about because the gods decided you were to be a Protector.
*Midnight takes another sip of the wine and feels it warm her ever so slightly.*
One day I hope to settle down and see what life has to throw at me..until then...make friends, kill enemies and be who ever I am.
*Midnight finishes the rest of the salmon off in silence.*
Thanks. that was lovely.
*Midnight watches Wolf over the fire and smiles slightly to herself. He was a attractive man, had nice eyes and from what she could tell a good physique. She smiled agaian and then frowned at the thoughts that had danced around her mind. Now was definatly not a time for that...she shakes her head to herself slightly and sip's the wine again.*
So where do you come from? Or will that be another question that will go unanswered?

*Once more back at the cave, Coriolis is starting to get worried... Midnight has come and gone but Rhiannon hasn't returned from her greiving. Even as confident a warrior as her would be foolish to wander the woods at night alone.*
*The Watcher becomes feline once more, FADEs and pads out into the forest. His skills as a tracker showing Midnights trail as a faint blue wisp through the undergrowth... His hackles are raised when another trail intersects the first, This time white and silver/grey...*
*The Tigers pace quickens...*

humph....
*Midnight rolls her eyes but smiles.*
It's not a something...it's a someone....a very over protective someone about 6 feet tall ....Coriolis....he'll be here shortly.....
*The jewel round her neck begins to glow a soft blue...the blue of flowers nice and gentle...*
Shame really...
*Midnight mutters to herself....then aloud....*
As ever the foster brother...or bother at times...
*Midnight smiles with affection..despite his stubboness, over protectiveness and sly under handedness at times... Coriolis had grown on her...and she relied on him for support....even if at times his timing was less than perfect....*
Like now...
*She thinks to herself...*
*She looks over to Wolf...*
well at least you'll have some other male company....shame we haven't got any more salmon...I'm sure he'd of liked that...

*Above and behind them, a branch silently gains some weight. 2 green glints watch the pair from above. The Tiger not wishing to interfere but keeping a close watch on the Wolfman and his actions nonetheless...*
*FADE can be a difficult spell to maintain at the best of times... The scent of well smoked salmon proving a major distraction...*

*Midnight crosses her legs and leans forward slightly. Getting closer to the fire and it's warmth. The pool brought a chill to the area with the night settling and now it being early hours of the morning with clear skies that allowed the moon to shine on the water causing the pool to appear bright and the stars glowed like distant fires. Each winking at the three below. *
*A gentle but cool breeze added to the chill bringing Midnight even closer to the fire and a bit closer to Wolf. Goosebumps began to rise and then fall with the change of tempreture. With Midnight having no sleeves to cover her arms up after cutting them off earlier to clean her face and cuts from the fight with the Alzan Assasin.*
*She raised a hand to the largest of the cuts and gently skimmed over it, nothing was wrong and all were healing nicely as they should be. She smiled to herself...her Mother had taught her well..she had taught her some wjat stubbon, rebelious child very well. *
*Midnight looked to the sky and wondered if her Mother could see her...if Master Kaylo ould see them both...his noisy, argumentative students all grown up and still arguing but facing their future and their past. She hoped for the coming battles that they would be by her side and help out if those that had gone on could. All and any help would be needed.*
*Midnight had a flash back to a night much like this but on a planet so far away from here but with a older man teaching her how to fish, how to start a fire, how to build a shelter how to defend herself from humans and animals. Master Kaylo had also taught them well giving them the best start that either of them could have with what the gods had destined them for and the Alzans had taken from them both.*
*Now was time for them to show that nothing they had to be taught was for nothing, now was the time to use every skill and wit they had between them, now was a time to take the Watcher name and make the Watchers dead and alive proud of them. Even if they never met another Watcher in their life time. It was time for them to make a stand and make sure all the badness they had created was destroyed. To clean the slate and start anew. To avenge the deaths of all they loved and cared for since their births to now. All began with Hakonatu and that traitor and all would end with them to.*
*Midnight shook her head and realised that she had drifted off into the world of her mind, getting lost within it's maze and had finally found her way out...for a while anyway.*
Sorry about that Wolf...I kind of got lost for a while.
*Midnight smiled gently at him then reutrned her gaze to the fire. Every now and then looking at Wolf from the side of her eyes. Watching him then looking back.*

*Midnight smiled and wrapped her arms around her legs.*
That question would take a long time to answer...where I went spreads over many years....well 21 actually but right now feels like a whole lot more than that....
*Under her breath...*
too many more.....
*Silence fills the pool for a minute or two and Midnight smiles as the smell of the slamon wafts over to Coriolis teasing his nostrils and his tummy quietly grumbling.*
Do you have any family back in your village?

*Midnight frowms despite knowing that she would get asked the same question in turn.*
My Mother and father died...My father died in a Alzan attack. He and some others were sent out to find them and defend the Monastery...he never returned...I was about 5 years old at the time.
*Midnight straigtens up, her shoulders and neck tense up and her chin lifts up higher than normal.*
My mother died a few years ago...when I was a teenager.... she died protecting me and Coriolis..or our where abouts anyway.. She died at the hands of Hakonatu while I ran for my life...only to wake up on a new world barely alive and having absolutly no recollection of my life on Arios or my Mother or my training..or anything until Coriolis came along.
Coriolis is now my real only family....In the sense of the word..I have friends here who I love as family...but he's the only person I can trust 100%...the only person I know will watch my back as I watch his....the only person I know that ...well can drive me insane at times....

*Midnight growled deeply but very quietly in her throat at the mention of the Alzans and Hakonatu.*
Now that's a long story one that spans many generations...me and Coriolis were'nt even aware of some of our heritage until very recently.
The Alzans are our very very very very long distance relatives some where back in the mists of time. Our people were one for many years and we grew and prospered and learned many things about all areas.
In time though two groups emerged from what was once know the Zahns. One was a violent, command and conquer, destroy what you see, learn others races knowledge then kill them off wiping them from excistence.....they became the Alzans....the other was a more gentler nature, to watch and learn, to teach and be taught...to learn the skills of others then learn more. To learn the power nature has, to learn the power all around us. To live a quiet life watching and learning....
It came to a time where the twos groups could no longer live together...so the soon to be named Watchers left the Alzans behind and began to make a new home on Arios. The Alzans didn't seem to like that idea and fought against us trying to kill us off, they are a very powerful, strong race. Years ago the attacking stopped but all was too late...the Alzans have given the Watchers too much hate in their hearts against the Alzans for any forgiveness to ever be possilble. Familes were destroyed, people killed, farms burnt down...
The Watchers....
*Midnight stands up and walks over to the pool wraps her hands around her self.*
The Watchers...though more gentle taught their children from a young age to protect themselves and too fight. They had no choice..if you couldn't fight you were as good as dead in a Alzan attack...even after the Alzans stopped attacking that was carried on. Children were taught young in case we were ever attacked again. We were taught to fight in most areas. By hand, by stave, by daggger....
*Midnight slowly takes out her dagger and holds it...holding the tip of the blade in between her index finger and thumb. The blade seems to light up as the moonlight hits it...*
by anything that could be used as a weapon...as others in some areas I excelled and in others was rubbish..our best areas were trained to the highest of standards and you were trained and would fight against the persaon closest to your standard...hence me and Coriolis being thrown together...or thats the reasons we thought....
*Midnight shakes her head as she realises she gone totally off track to what Wolf had asked...with a slight shrug and shake of her head...*
Sorry bout that I tend to babble when I'm nervous...talk ten to the dozen...
*Midnights pale cheeks blush slightly and she smiles....*
The Watchers have made their share of mistakes in the past...they created a creature...a machine called Hakonatu...he was meant to protect the Soulfire weapon while the Watchers waited for me and Coriolis to be born....The weapon changed him, gave him the need for the weapon, to go and conquer and to kill...he tried to steal it once and was unsucessful...but he escaped..then he came back when I was 14/15 when Coriolis was on the Hunt to graduate into becoming a fully fledged Watcher... He and his minions destroyed my home..he killed my mother...he took everything I ever had and destroyed it.... He was created by the Watcher hands...he killed the Watcher hand and will be destroyed by Watcher hands.....
*In a flash of movemnt the dagger leaves Midnights hand and hits a tree with a heavy thud, the blade stuck deeply into the tree...*
He will die and then maybe..just maybe I can get my life back or at least live the rest of it happily knowing that even if the Watcher race is going to end when me and Coriolis do at least our mistakes will be made right.

*wolf stands up and moves to the tree silently pulling the blade carefully from the tree he then presents it back to midnight* Tis a sad tale indeed *looks up at the sky* we should rest now and rejoin the others tommorrow
[time passes]
*wolf wqakes to see midnight still sleeping and treads noislesly to the tree in which cororils is, looks up into the tree and waits*
