Once they were in a quieter area of the den, Lady Kaielah sat near Renee, stroking her soft fur in a way that made it seem like she was reading her. Almost immediately, she could sense her worries about Tassos and didnâ€™t blame her for having such worries. In all honesty she was worried about everything as well, and it only grew as time passed, hoping that Tassos would be found. Simonâ€™s words worried her quite a bit. Seers had the ability to read wolves to an extent though her ability was not as sharp as Simonâ€™s; that man seemed to immediately know which wolf was what better than she did. However knowing Simonâ€™s powers may never be fully restored to him was not very reassuring and she feared the Prophecy might not work this time but she refused to allow her confidence to fade.  If she had to do most of the work this time then so be it. She was prepared to sacrifice whatever she had to save this city and this world.<br/><br/>â€œI fear Simonâ€™s words are true,â€ the old woman began, â€œTassos has been split in half. I fear that half of him indeed resides in the Shadow.â€ It was what everyone feared, and how it happened she was not sure. And the fact Simon was confused about it was even more frightening.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>Meanwhile, in the main part of the den, the wolves were becoming more and more restless a time passed. A few of them neared Simon, who just kept them comforted with a gentle touch, while others were anxious to get everything over with. It really was not helping the situation any and in all honesty it made both Angelus and Gimmel extremely uncomfortable. Both of them still had a lot of questions to ask but neither really understood it all. Gimmel especially. He wasâ€¦ fragmented, supposed to be someone else, what did that all mean? That was what Simon had said anyway but it didnâ€™t really make much sense to him at all. Yet at the same time, once again, it made all the sense in the world. No wonder why all these strange memories were flooding back to him suddenly.<br/><br/>Suddenly Drake Approached Angelus. She looked at the ground for a moment, â€œThis is a lot to take in. Iâ€™m frightenedâ€¦ but if Iâ€™m to be a sacrifice then I shall do it.â€ As reassuring as she tried to sound she truly was terrified of all this. There were so many things she wanted to know, that she didnâ€™t understand, probably never would fully understand in this short time. â€œThough I really donâ€™t know what it means. At first I was willing to learn, but now I realize that ignorance might be bliss after all.â€ Continuing to stay strong, she stood a bit straighter when she looked Drake in the eye. There was still a lot to get done, something in the back of her mind was telling her this, and she had to do it. She had to stray strong and accept her fate. But the question that really hit her was why was she to be the sacrifice for the Prophecy? Was there something special that she was missing completely or was she just some random wolf pulled into these events? It was all so confusing to her.<br/><br/>Suddenly, a sound caught her attention and she watched as Fatal went over to a wounded girl.<br/><br/>Simon and Annabelle turned to look at the girl who had wandered in as soon as it was mentioned there was company. Fangs bared and a low growl escaping her, Annabelle could recognize that scent from anywhere; the girl smelled like Maeva. This girl was her daughterâ€¦ but why was she sent here? Things were not adding up. Her entire body tense when Simon moved to go get a look at her wounds, then she suddenly stepped out in front of him and shook her head. â€œDonâ€™t touch her,â€ the black wolf growled at both Simon and Fatal, glaring at the girl as she went to examine the damage for herself. She allowed her wet nose to touch the girlâ€™s skin as she chuckled quietly, â€œThat woman is a brave old witch, sending you here to come greet us,â€ she whispered in the girlâ€™s ear. â€œI donâ€™t know what you want, but I know it canâ€™t be goodâ€¦ unless she is definitely aware of the Shadowâ€™s appearance.â€<br/><br/>Annabelle looked to the rest of the group once she was finished speaking, and then walked off to go get Lady Kaielah. â€œLady Kaielah, forgive the intrusion, but it seems our dear friend Maeva has given us a useful gift.â€
