The light echo of Alister’s wings beside her bringing her further comfort, a voice rang out from the crowds catching Eli’s words in her throat before she could respond Alister had said his piece.<span style="font-style: italic">Peace</span>she hadn’t thought of the word not after she had seen what they had done to her kin. She had thought Alister would just agree with her but it seemed even twin’s could think differently. The thought rubbed her the wrong way.<br/><br/>But as the edge of panic began to rise among their kin she noticed Alister’s posture change he was bowing to her, releasing control to her. She wasn’t angry but it had taken her back that her brother had done such a thing. But for now she merely bowed her head in understanding.<br/><br/>“We will work together as we always have. And there is a chance not all of us will make it. But it is better to fight as one and dye trying then to die alone without our kin.” Eli hoped they would feel how she would feel, she was scared but what seemed to keep at bay was the thought of separation. They were a group oriented breed, to be alone from your kin was worse than death.<br/><br/>“We have to teach the human’s we are not their pet’s and will not be treated as such, they have many thing’s we don’t understand but we have something they will never understand. We have Mother our link to the earth and all her wonderful mysteries. These are well worth our lives” She swallowed hard as she looked at all the shades staring back at her.<br/><br/>“What say you brother’s and sister’s? will you help protect your kin and Mother?” she yelled her voice ringing out along the tree’s. Slowly a murmur began to rise among them, fear gripped Eli’s throat a Halfing that resembled a reptile stepped forward and offered out his hand. Eli looked to his hand and yellow eyes. Her hand reaching into his.<br/><br/>“I am with you” with that the murmur began to become a roar of cheers and excitement as they all had consumed the fear that they had clung to. Eli smiled her free hand wrapping around his, a smile on her lips. They would fight for their freedom, or die trying.
