Darion just sighed a bit at the obvious bit of anger in the woman’s voice at his questioning.  What did she think?  That he would be completely trusting because she was a bird too?  But as she went on her little tirade about how untrusting he was with his thousand questions, be got a clue as to all the burn damage that everyone had after they came through that… whatever it was.<span style="color: seagreen">“You love the sound of your own voice, don't you?”</span>He said out loud not even caring it sounded mean or uncaring.  He did make sure to note of the ones she was referring to as were supposed to be with her.<span style="color: seagreen">“I don’t know you though, so I do not think I can trust you around these people.”</span><br/><br/>The glare in his eyes though hand the fact that he still gripped his sword was proof that he didn’t trust her at all.  The mention of the ones she could vouch for, one was a volupri.  Probably would be the one behind the metal she had heard earlier… but then she had said she?  The voice that he had heard had been male sounding.  So who else was it over there?<br/><br/>Though, at her mentions of making sure the people who had harmed the people, his face got a little darker.  He may not trust her, but Alapha was confirming that she was the woman’s sister.  And he naturally thought that translated to be the same for Bethatha, their youngest sister.  He didn’t laugh or anything that that arrogant sounding statement from the burnt aviary, what would normally have been his reaction.<span style="color: seagreen">“You would have not been able to help unless you are more powerful than anyone else alive.”</span><br/><br/>Upon hearing the hiss from the little serpent the red aviary immediately backed up to the point that the lantern wasn’t showing them as brightly on the pair.  She was embarrassed at watching what was happening to the man, but the<br/><br/>Though looking up a little he saw someone hanging upside down in the rigging of the ship… and something that looked like a snake with wings wrapped around his dick.  The wings gave him a slight reminder of the encounter in the woods that short time ago.  Was that a pixie?  He had never seen one that had a snake tail.  But the lantern was not close enough to really tell as the red Aviari that had the lantern backed off.  But as he was watching he thought he saw what looked like a shadow moving around up there before it disappeared.  He would deal with that later if whoever it was actually was a threat.<br/><br/>At that moment as well, he noticed the strange red light that was all too familiar.  Looking up again he noticed that the fey was finally unwinding herself from around the hanging man’s cock.  Well, that was just great…  now a powered up fey was with them as well.  That wasn’t good.  But staying calm he called up to the Red Aviari.<span style="color: seagreen">“Cut him down.  He doesn’t seem to be moving much, so isn’t much of a threat.</span>”  After that he paid the man no attention.<br/><br/>As soon as the little snake pixie moved away from the man, the red Aviari woman heard the order from Darion and actually flew over to the mast that held the rigging holding him.  Hanging the lantern on the mast, she reached down and started to unwrap the man from the ropes, one at a time.  When the last one finally came loose, the man would feel himself falling for just a moment before a feathered hand caught him by the ankle and was flying there with him.<span style="color: red">“Are you alright?”</span>she asked while starting to slowly lower him to the deck.<br/><br/>But after that quick scan he turned back to the older aviary woman to continue with her, maybe give her a reason as to why he was so cautions… he never got a chance.  Just as he was opening his mouth to say something, one of the aviary that had come out on the deck and was studying the newcomers that they could see, He realized who this woman was.  Especially when her feather color was revealed.  His pale green feathers stood on end in anger.<b>“W'ineton!”</b>He yelled in anger, mixed with a little fear, but backed away in fear.  As soon as his yell of her name was heard.  Most of the others did the same, or took flight and backed out of sight into the air.  None wanted to be near her!<br/><br/>Seeing this, Darion gripped his blade tighter, and his glare focused on the older woman.  Any chance of giving her the benefit of the doubt thanks to Alapha disappeared.<span style="color: seagreen">“What did she do to cause such fear?”</span>He asked to no one in particular.  It was the same pale green one from before that spoke up, though was sure he did when darion was between him and Winnie.<b>“She is W'ineton… she was banished from the village when Dal’tek found out what she was doing.  She is power hungry!  She tried to take control of our village for herself! And to help her… she was studying forbidden magic!  Evil magic!  Throw her out now!”</b>He half yelled, but could not hide the fear of this woman in his voice.<br/><br/>Hearing all this, the red Aviari let out a light scream, especially at hearing who the aviary that had come through the portal.  With the startled scream though also she let go of the man in her fright, letting him fall the last few feet to the deck on his own.  Instead she flew fast back up to the mast, and perched there, watching.<br/><br/>No matter what she had been saying before, Darion turned back to W'ineton, his sword tight in his hand.<span style="color: seagreen">“Give me a reason I shouldn't do exactly what he says?  It doesn't sound like you are someone I should trust.”</span>He asked, really wanting to know a reason he should let her and her companions stay, and not throw them over to keep the Aviari safe.  Even if it would make Alapha hate him.<span style="color: seagreen">“Or should I just have you bound and gagged and held below decks until we get where we are going?”</span>That was most likely what he would do.<br/><br/>The action’s from the ‘scrap pile’ caused even more fear to spread in the Aviari, especially the two children that had been poking at the pile.  First the male child that had been poking at Ogun’s chest jumped back in surprise and a bit of fright when the chest area opened suddenly.  After that first moment he actually got over his surprise, and he was again curious at the strange glowing light.  The curiosity ramped up seeing the light and he was reaching out to touch it when there was the sudden flare blinding flare up.  As soon as it happened he screamed out in pain at the bright light and started to stumble away from him as fast as he could.<br/><br/>Hearing this, the young girl dropped the arm she had been investigating and looked over at the boy, and the giant of metal that was now starting to stand up.  And she was glad she dropped it when she noticed the giant was missing an arm.  Quickly, she dashed over to the boy and started dragging the young boy back to the protection of the group.<br/><br/>Hearing this, Darion glared over to the Giant of metal that had been woken up, and the two children fleeing.  Seeing the large sword he knew the giant could have killed them easily.  And looking at the giant of metal, and the missing arm… Darion didn’t even have a clue what it was.  He had never seen anything like that before.  Didn’t stop him from glaring.<span style="color: seagreen">“If any of them get hurt, your friends will not survive their trip here.” </span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
