Ten Thousand Fists

"Okay... this is where I see it fit to give you two time alone" he spoke finally as he quickly spun on his heels. "I am going to go check on Marco" he said as he walked out the tent into the other.

[Grace.E]

"yeah...you yelling at me for how much of an imbecile I was.." Willow smiled as Korbin kissed her cheek. "you have to admit...I was an idiot" she sighed, laying back down, staring at the celing. "an idiot in love...who still is.."

[serpington]

Marco sneezed in his sleep, causing durako to look over curiously. "i wonder if they're looking for him. he did seem important. oh well, it's not like they're close enough to find us any time soon." he looked up through the 20 foot tall trees before putting out the fire with a scaled hand, and laying down in the darkness.

[tangletail]

"Finally awake Marco? Or are you just now going to sleep?" Leo asked taking note of the fire.

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"Well, people like us are only capable of short moments of idiocy. I chased after you without a second thought, almost killing some canadians as I rode my horse past them. I figure our 'idiot' clocks have synchronized in a way that only one of us is going to be the 'idiot' at any given time. I still can't figure out if I had an idiot moment when I decided to 'hunt' the Queen of Thieves, trying to locate someone that doesn't want to be seen. Finding you was probably a physical metaphor of my desire to wake up from the nightmare of solitude."

[Grace.E]

Willow wanted to laugh but she was too weak to but she smiled "Solitude eh?" she sighed "well, I have been in solitude as well... only putting myself on the line to protect those I loved...in the end they were slaughtered. by Barbarians who were paid by a traitor who worked for the king...in the end, I whipped him and have him killed" she then thought for a moment. "and yet the king still searches... for he claims my death is worth a thousand deaths... if I die..the hope of peace dies" she bored her green eyes "but you did find me...by mere chance..." she smiled "I'm glad you did"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin smirked as he turned to face her on the bed. "Sorry for trying to shoot at one of the twins, I just wanted to get you away from them so we could talk... Now here we are, in the same bed once again." Korbin chuckled, shaking his head lightly before lying on his back again. "If you weren't so tired, we wouldn't be going to sleep just yet."

[Grace.E]

Willow let out a 'tsssk' noise and barely punched him in the arm "your hilarious" she said with a weak wink. a messenger came in and brought a note to Willow. taking it she read it. her eyes grew wide as she sat up, more energetic. "what! King Silas had a son!" she read on... "Prince Ryder Daniel Kain..." her mind began to work and calculate as she began to think. "I may have found the kings weakness"...

[Chrono Blackwyng]

Korbin got up and put an arm in front of her as if trying to keep her from getting out of the tent. "Hold on, you were bed-ridden just five minutes ago, if someone is going to go after the prince, I'll do it. I'm not going to be the one to tell Nancy that you just ran off alone to get a high-value target."

[Grace.E]

"Its took risky to kindnap Prince Ryder alone...although, when I am well and we go together, if we do it now, they will suspect... unless ...we may be able to if we do it later, my plan is to simply capture and raise him, teaching him of peace...to go against his father..." she smirked "it would be nice to finally meet Queen Arabella..." she looked up at Korbin "my strength returns quickly..if you haven't noticed" though, she paled as she began to cough violently, grabbing a rag she coughed up thick, gross mucus caused by the allergic reaction. she could breathe easily again. "every child is born innocent"

[Chrono Blackwyng]

"Yes, lets do it later. Unlike you, I rarely sleep due to being an undercover cheetah as well as being a fur hunter. I can stay up for another day before crashing, but I'd rather rest now and let that one day become three by tomorrow."

[Grace.E]

Willow yawned "alright" she cuddled up next to him, not caring anymore "good night Korbin...I hope to be better by tomorrow"  slowly she drifted off into a dreamless slumber

[Chrono Blackwyng]

He kissed her on the forehead after she went to sleep, then joined her within half a minute.

[Grace.E]

**Morning!**

Willow awoke, yawning and stretching before Korbin. she was sad she had to leave his side...that was until she smelled herself. she let out a "YUCK!!" a little too loudly. then she looked at Falcon "YUCK! you need a bath!" taking Falcon to a secluded place at the river (after finding some soap)she undressed and bathed herself first. then Falcon. which took longer. finally when she was done, she was about to step out when she heard something. stepping behind Falcon so no one would see, a young, half awake Canadian solider washed his face with the cold water. when he looked up and saw her, all she said was "hey there" he ran, screaming "NYMPH!!!!!!!" Falcon nickered at her quizzically.

after drying off, dressing in clean clothes, jacket and boots she rejoined the camp. Nancy saw her and looked ta her crossly. "you should be in bed missy"
Willow shook her head as she dried Falcon "I'd get bored stiff...besides, I smeeeellled really badly" Nancy sighed "you don't stink."
"now I dont, besides, I am refreshed and renewed!" she grabbed a big bowl of stew and ate it "I don't care if Korbin drags me back!" she said with a mouthful "chew before speaking" Nancy said. Kevin and Ben greeted her "sissy! are we gonna play today?"
"maybe" Willow sighed, then she leaned in "depends if that cranky man in the tent lets me" she pointed at the tent Korbin was still in. then she left to check on Leo and Marco. "MORNING BOYS!!"

[tangletail]

Leo was lying on his stomach with his eyes burning red. He let out a rather loud sneeze and sniffed "When you said it gets cold at night in canada, you forgot to mention how badly. Normally I stay away from fire like the plague, but I ended up sleeping next to it and caught a few embers in my fur" He pushed himself up and stretched with a groan "At the end of this, I just may find a way to head back to my homeland where it's warmer."
