Aleera sat up with a fearsome hiss, her longer than average fangs exposed. She relaxed when she sees and hears that Dagger had frightened the girl.<br/><br/>The time had finally come. It had been coming for a while, the old changeling can tell, but his time to go to the woods one last time had finally come. There is one last thing to take care of before hand though. Slowly he makes his way out to barn. He moves straight for the small bed where Nyra and Aleera are sitting. "Nyra, my time has come." Gently he places a hand on her shoulder before muttering a protective spell slash blessing over his granddaughter. He gives her another whiskery kiss a hug. "Always remember that I love you Nyra." Then he looks to Aleera. "Take care of Nyra in my place. She needs someone watch after her." Just as slowly as he came in, he leaves the barn. A few minutes later a new weeping willow tree can be seen in the forest.<br/><br/>Aleera held Nyra and stroked the girl's hair. "We should be going. To stay here any longer is to invite more danger. We should bring the donkey and horse with us. The cow can serve as one last meal before we go. Nyra, is there anything that you want to bring with you?"
