Silence in the night

She had managed to climb up the side of the floating mountain she had not wanted to use any of her powers in this land the silence having calmed the anger building within. Muscles aching and spirit broken she curled up in a dark location where no one would find her unless they were looking. She knew someone would sense her presence it was only a matter of time before someone came looking. Not knowing whom to expect she kept a throwing knife at ready just to be safe. Closing her eyes she listened to the silence the way the wind made the plants and under brush move. Sinking deeper into the shadows she took a deep silent breath trying to let the past come off of her in waves. She could not let the pent up anger go she could not let what happened go. She would never be the same forever different and forever alone in this matter. She was fine with this conclusion she did not want an innocent or unknowing soul into the darkest part of her existence. Leaning her head against the nearest support of a rock she let the shadows welcome her cloaking her presence from those who would not know how to let the shadows become one with them. They would feel her here but they would never find her if they did not know how to see past the shadows.

When she pulled the shadows about her, Blade's head popped up from where he had been sleeping. He sighed, and drew the shadows about himself, and shifted, appearing about 15 feet from her, perched on a rock, looking at her. There was no anger, no rage, in his being, in his stance, or in his minds and thoughts. He knew he was larger then the last time she had seen him, he looked at her with the eyes of a father, an alpha, seeing once again, a wayward pack member returning to the pack lands. Reaching out with his will, he gently pried the shadows away so he could see her. "Welcome back, again." he said, welcoming her verbally. "You know I am the one you cant hide from," He said with a chuckle, referring to the fact that, at least a portion, of her shadow abilities derived directly from himself. "Now, what say we get you to the pack house, so you can get cleaned up, and something to eat?" He said, offering the suggestion to her.

She stood silently reaching up around her neck undoing the necklace around her neck. Walking up she placed the necklace on the rock next to him. Turning away she looked over her shoulder into his eyes, "The necklace belongs to you. It's nice to see you again Blade." Walking away she stepped back into shadows whispering, "Leave me be here Blade there is no sense in you playing nice." Sitting down again she leaned her head back against the rock closing her eyes to listen to the wind.

He continued to sit there, watching her. "You know, we are still married." He said, keeping his voice calm. "And, as much of a woman chaser as I may have been, my father did teach me that, if something is broken, you dont just throw it away. You try to fix it first, so, I want to work this out with you, plus, we need cohesion amongst the pack. There are difficulties enough without you and I being at odds." He said, staying where he was, watching her, he waved a hand over the necklace, and through shadow manipulation, made it re-materialize around her neck, the locket itself hanging in its proper location, over the mark that had been left when he had freed her from the last group of slavers to stand against him.

Freezing for just a moment she opened her eyes looking at him deciding how best to act touching the necklace gently she stood dropping her hand. Walking closer to him she spoke softly drained, "As you wish. A bath would be nice." She stepped closer towards the shadow in front of her stepping through she looked at her old room glancing momentarily on the door leading to his room. Focusing she walked softly through her the bathroom closing the door stepping back she moved towards the pool styled bath turning the water as warm as her skin would allow. Finishing quickly she moved out into her room standing in the center of the room at a loss.
