[Cifero Windtail]

*Cifero stared back at the fox, one eyebrow raised quizzically due to her odd behavior. Unsheathing one claw, he began to slowly saw through his bonds.*
"Yeah... I'm not quite sure how I healed so quickly... it never happened before..."
*He looks down at the small charm around his neck.*
"... although I'm going to guess that this necklace has something to do with it. Now, to ask some ohter questions... who are you and why did you tie my hands behind my back? I'm pretty sure that I'm on your side... I think... um... wait, is your leader a man named Dresdon?"

[Sne]

"I'll be asking questions!" Dala said as she smacked Cifero's muzzle with her elbow, covered with a thick studded leather protector. "You're lucky you heal so fast, your nose doesn't look nice," she said with a bit of care in her voice, then shook her head quickly and with anger added, "no speaking till we arrive or I'll cut your throat!"

Who in blazes is Dresdon? she thought.

[Cifero Windtail]

*Cifero gaped at her. Her eyes were exactly the same color as hers.*
Oh my god, she's my SISTER!
*Looking quietly at the back of the girl's head, Cifero remained quiet for the rest of the ride, continuing to saw through his bonds. By the time they arrived, he was nearly there.*

[Sne]

"Put him on the chair... no, tying him up again doesn't matter anyway," Shashoh said when Dalavesta arrived at a remote location, an old, collapsing wooden shack, with her prisoner. Somehow he was there first and there wasn't a trace of a horse anywhere. He then approached Cifero from behind and took out a beautiful silvery blade, deliberately doing it in such a way that loud unsheathing sound was heard. "He's our guest after all," he said, cutting the ropes, then continued. "I saw you being attacked by Hunter and defended by Lorkin, which makes Hunter our ally and you our enemy." He walked around confused Cifero and then went on again. "But then, I heard you claim Hunter is your ally and I know he, in fact, works with Lorkin. Which makes you an enemy again." He circled Cifero in the other direction. "Yet again, Hunter seems to be obsessed... or rather posessed. That complicates matters greatly. I understand you want your friend back. This is what friends do, is it not?"

He stood in front of Cifero and put his hands on the armrests. His long ears hung on both sides of Cifero's head as he leaned closer. "I think you know already that we are allies, friends... family, even," he said with a wink, "and for the sake of everyone--including the family and your very self--I need you to tell me everything, everything you know."

[Cifero Windtail]

*Cifero stares at him.*
"I don't think you quite understand your situation or mine... or HERS, for that matter. And I believe you're quite mistaken... I am not on their side. However, Hunter was once my ally until for some reason he became... like his is now. And you are right... I want him back to normal, and I also have to convince another friend of mine NOT to kill him. As for... Lorkin, you said his name was?... I have NO IDEA why he knows me. Never met him before. Also, do you work for a man named Dresdon?"
*He glared at him*
"For your sake, the answer had better be no... I have no wish to kill you in front of my sister."
*He motioned toward Dala with his head.*
"Oh yeah... and she's my sister. I should mention that too..."

[Sne]

What? Data thought and wanted to speak, but Shashoh held up a hand.

Shashoh spoke slowly and warmly. "Oh, I know perfectly you're not on the dragon's side, I know very well you try to change Hunter back, I just said it," he shrugged gently, then paused and took a deep breath and the smile disappeared from his face. "Mister Cifero, I do not work for Sir Dresdon. I did. I don't. I have reasons not to. As I said, we--you and me--are friends." He then looked at Dalavesta. "And a family. I'm sorry that you got to find your brother in such an ugly way, dear Dala."

Dalavesta stared at Shashoh, then at Cifero, then again at Shashoh, who finally rolled his eyes impatiently and smiled. "Go on, hug already!"

[Hunter_]

*After a while Hunter got out of the armory, still in his brown, light armor, with a new bow and quiver*
"Hmm, feels alright, should do perfectly against magic" He tought while walking into the open.
Hunter oversaw the construction of the barriers and fences as his demons worked hard and long,
he was sure to not let this intruder, this rat as he though, let escape again.
*Hunter sat down, and waited, waited with the greated patcience in the world, waited with one goal in mind,
waited, for Shashoh*

[Cifero Windtail]

*Cifero looks quizzically at the man.*
"Um... o-kay..."
*He gets up and gently hugs Dala, whispering in her ear quietly.*
"Is he always this weird?"
*Turning back to the man, he nods breifly.*
"Glad to hear you're not on that horrid man's si..."
*He widens his eyes*
"Wait, how the heck did you know my name?!"
(Um... well, you're nowhere near me, Kaya, so I think that puts it out of my juristiction.)

[Kaya]

im sorry i am udderly confused...can i be adressed again that way i can respond..?))

[Sne]

Grace opened the door and looked at Cassandra, then said coldly:
"Greetings. General Hunter is not here. Who are you?"

"Kids these days," Shashoh said to no one in particular and looked Cifero in the eyes. "I worked for Sir Dresdon, slain many dragons for him. I knew your father, of course I know your name. When I heard about Dala's foster father's and uncle's death from the hands of a dragon I arrived as soon as possible. I thought it was Sir Dresdon's... I'm not sure anymore, but I know he's involved somehow." He sighed. "I know he would want you both, and me, dead. The latter is because I made a mistake during a fight, the only error in my dragon hunting career." He walked away a few steps and took a deep breath while looking out the window. "And I was fighting Sir Dresdon himself."

[Kaya]

Cassandra smiles a bit of an odd smile. "he helped me get a new body. i am yet still indebted to him for that. May i inquire whom i am speaking with?" she looks around trying to see a bit behind the unnamed inquirer.

*Cifero looked at the man in surprise*
"Well, I... I suppose that explains how you know my name... and I can also see why he'd want you dead, since apparently, you tried to kill him."
*The crat smiled.*
"But I think I know the identity of this so-called 'dragon'... and if I'm right, then I can tell you that the beast in question is no dragon. It's most likely that odd mechanical beast that Hunter has in his employ. I met her earlier when Hunter tried to..."
*He stopped suddenly and looked at Shashoh.*
"Wait, he has DRAGONS now?! Since when did he..."
*He looks back at Dala, as if suddenly remembering that she was also in the room*
"Um... sorry, did you want to say something? I... I kinda forgot my manners..."
