Blue gently caressed Liam's wolf's head, studying his large frame and watching as the muscles rippled beneath his pelt when he moved. Slowly sliding her fingers through his fur as she trailed down his neck and side, she paused to gently grip his fur as he mentioned the words "soul mate". "Im sorry, what?" she turned her head to look him in the eyes, a baffled look on her features. "I am<span style="font-style: italic">destined</span>to be mated to you? As in, fall in love, have a family, live happily ever after?" she asked, trying to confirm exactly what he was saying.<br/><br/>Not that she minded too much; the idea of being soul mates with Liam. But Blue wasn't all that sure about falling in love with a man who might wind up getting himself killed in some stupid war that she, apparently, was supposed to save them all from. In fact, she wasn't sure about any of this still. Blue had seen a lot of amazing things in the past several hours, but that still didn't prove that this was all real, that there even was a war being fought. For now though, she was content to just sit back and play along until she was absolutely sure this was all really happening. That she was some kind of savior, that she really did have a soul mate, and that seeing her mother had not just been a dream.<br/><br/>"Hey... Liam. Do you know of a woman named Rynn?" Blue asked, a small frown flitting over her features as she thought about her dream.<br/><br/>Rynn Valentine had been a very well-known white magic user, in fact, she had been a close friend of Cottain. Before the dark one had become a black magic user, he had simply been Nikoli Valentine, a prince unable to take the throne because he had no wife. Rynn had simply been passing through one day to get home, when she had run into Nikoli. It only took four months before she was engaged to him and a month longer for them to be married. Blue came into the picture two years later, but by then, Nikoli had been the dark one for over a year. Rynn confided in Cottain about her doubts in Nikoli's sanity and soon he had convinced her to leave. The night of her almost escape, Nikoli burnt down his home with black magic. Bones had been found in the debris, but no one could confirm the identity of the person or persons found.<br/><br/>Almost no one living knew of the dark ones true identity, except for a few select people who managed to somehow survive their encounter with him. And it wasn't a well-known fact that Blue's father was the dark one himself. If everyone knew that, they would almost surely try to kill her, in fear that she was trying to deceive them.<br/><br/>Blue pressed her cheek against his furry one and smiled for a moment before pulling away. "How did you know where I was?" she asked, a confused look on her face. If she had been taken away to the human world when she was a baby, wouldn't that have made Liam one as well?
