4 Days since Dante and Laika's Departure. A Note Arrives informing Onyx and Sable what's going on. Nio and Twyla are doing well, Makana is still growing at a fairly quick rate and Is Starting to teethe and Crawl around on her own. And Hua has been going through some emotional turmoil. Once again back to Staying in her room more often than not.

01:03

Nio and Uri are out on the beach wrestling each other. Uri, desperatly trying to get a grip on Nio, as he dances around dodging every attempt as if Uri was just stumbling around.

Once Dropped off by the Carrier to them. They open the note. which reads: "Dear family, We've made it Safely to Lyra Eos, So do not worry. However The stay may be a bit Longer than Anticipated, we hope you're doing well and Makana is Safe, Happy, Healthy, and Not too big of a handful. We'll keep you updated. Until next time. Wish us luck. - Dante and Laika" (edited)

Huh.. Well at least they made it there Safely.

Aww, I'm glad things are working out!

*Sitting in her room with Makana sleeping in the crib next to her. Holding Araavos's Feather. twirling it around in her fingers. Her heart feeling heavy and her Mind Swirling like a whirlwind.*

*the feather shines, a ripple of reflection sweeping across the bristles*

*resting by the sea. enjoying a book. has already resigned from her duties in Nakarutu and moved in* (edited)

*Watching as it does. and Sighing. Before She gets up. and begins packing a couple things. The feather included*

*stumbles into the sand in front of Twy, tripping on air it seems as he plants face first into the sand, sending a small sand castle's worth right.... onto.... her... book... and into her lap..* (edited)

*shakes his hips at him* Ya gotta be fasta dan dat mon.

MY BOOK!!!!!

*mumbling into the sand " My face "*

You know how long it takes to get sand out of anything?! I- .... *sighs, gets up, and goes inside Nio's house*

*falls over onto his side and just lays there*

*laughing his way back to the bar*

*Was just about to head out the Door. With Makana in a Strap on Baby Carrier on her back. and her Sack full of A few supplies. when Twyla was coming in*

*now hanging by the window and trying to remove the sand from her book*

*Relieved she didn't come inside. But now trying to Get past her discreetly and Casually. She could just Take off flying if it weren't for Makana*

01:48

*Casually stepping out the door and walking past Twyla. Trying to not make a scene*

*too distracted trying to save her book to notice*

*Sighs in relief once she's far enough away. And Spreads her wings. and Flies off. Trying to make sure nobody noticed or didn't think much of it* (edited)

*goes in to find something to clean her book when she finds the note. she picks it up and begins to read it, freezes, then races to Nio* NIO! NI-- *trips and falls into the sand by the bar*....*gets up* I'm fine

Would ya relax, i'm sure da book is fine yea?

*shoves the note in his face* LOOK!!!!!!

*trying to turn his head because it's upside down and backwards and he can only tilt so much*

Just take the damn thing and read it!

*takes it* Alright, alright... Hey dis my mom's handwritting....

The Note Read: "Dear Nio and Family. I am sorry this has happened so suddenly, But Due to circumstances and the things Nio has said the past few days. I've finally decided to leave. For how long I don't know. I've stocked up on necessities for both myself and Makana, who is coming with me. I leave this note for you to tell you To not worry for me, and To not come searching for me. As this is something I must do alone. For the peace of mind and closure for myself, and Nio. Love. Your Mother, Hua."

Oh okay... *hands it back to her and begins to walk off when it hits him* Wait, do anybody know if da otha fur people say it be okay?

Well, of course not...Why would they allow someone to run off with their kid?....Not knowing where they're going?

Well it not be like she gon kidnap her yea?

Well...no....

So den dey must know yea?

...I don't think they'd know she's leaving

Well which is it? Dey know or day don't? Either she be kidnappin, or she not?!

*Groans and Hurries off down to the Beach towards Sable and Onyx.* Onyx! Sable! Come here quick!!

*Was startled by her shouting and Dropped his fishing net in the water. Stumbling over onto his ass in the wet sand* Agh!! TWYLA! What is it?!

02:38

*Scrambling to get up to go meet her half way. And drag his net out of the water*

*shows him the note* Read it!

Uh.. Okay. *Takes it. Reads a bit of it. Gets a perplexed look on his face and then goes over to his Sister* Hey Sable!!!

*looks up, dead fish in her mouth* *muffled "HM?!"*

*Just holds the note up to her face*

*takes the note and instantly spits out the fish* THE FUCK?!

I thought the same.. But then again Makana was left in her care specifically because she's an experienced mom. And she said she has everything she needs for them both so... They'll probably be fine.

02:53

Hopefully she'll be back before they get home though..

They both won't be very happy when they come home and the baby is gone....

*pacing around* NotNio. No. too an da nose.. Oni? What am I tinkin day see right through that yea? Come on Nio, ya gon be needing a new name, now think!

IF they come home and the baby is gone. i JUST Said hopefully she'll be back before they are.

02:56

But Nio. You still trust your mom don't ya? She's good with kids from what i can tell. i mean she raised you.

Ha... ha... yeah... yea... *starting to lose it* heh... yea... yea! Maybe... maybe, she be takin her back to her parents before she go yea? dats it.. right? huh? right... yea....? *eye twitching*

*Looking at Twyla and Sable like "Wtf do we do? He's losing it"*

I got this..... *getting up off the floor, and walking up to him, and warms up his hand, and clocks him right upside the face* Caught you that time...

*snaps out of it* What da? Hey that's no fair yea?

That's your first mistake thinking fair is a thing in a fight. But seriously, calm the fuck down. Twy, send word to Lyra Eos, fly the letter yourself if you have to. Get news to them before they find out from someone else. Let's hope they already know...*he turns to Sable* Time to put those hunting skills to the test, you got a good sense of smell right? Think if I carried you can you follow her draft?

YES! THIS IS MY MOMENT!!!! *grabs spear and does some weird chant-like gibberish that even she can't translate*

*looks at Sable* ........Anyway. I'll send them the letter directly.

*rolls his eyes and picks her up, and takes off*

*giggles* wheeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*begins soaring towards lyra eos*

So... use that nose of yours and tell me which direction she took off in.

*sniffs* hm....

*After being flown a little ways finally catches the scent on the breeze* Oh! That way! She went east!

*starts heading in that direction at a rapid rate* hold on. And keep sniffing.

On it! *she says. sniffing the air. using her hunting skills to find her*

After about 30 Minutes of Flying. They Would be able to see the faint Silhouette of a Smaller Island off in the distance As well as a Figure heading towards it

There! Right there! *points*

Hold on.. *wraps his arms tighter, and starts soaring towards it at near breakneck speeds*

***AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH***

*Already mostly towards this island. Not even flying that quickly because of Makana. Clearly focused*

*now that he's at a distance he can monitor, follows behind waiting for her to land before he does*

*dizzy af*

*Eventually she lands in a Small clearing Surrounded by trees*

*lands a few feet behind her, and approaches slowly, setting Sable down as he does*

*throws up almost instantly*

00:55

never....that fast....again....

*falls in the grass. waving him off* go on without me....imma just.....lay here a minute.....

You sure you came to the right planet? *raising his eyebrow* Anyway... Hua... you okay? What's going on? You just up and left, and took the kid? Do the parents know? What's going on here?

1

*Jumped in surprise and turned around. and looked shocked. then angry* Uri?! Sable?! What are you doing here???!

01:05

You've been following me this whole time???

It wasn't easy, but you didn't exactly let anyone know what's going on either. Just tell me the parents know, and you're okay and i'll get out of your hair, but Hua, if you've done something.... you need to tell us... now...

*tries to say "that's my sister, woman!" but it comes off as slurred, mumbled, gibberish. she is that nausous*

The Parents Don't know. But she was left in MY Care. of course she's coming with me. I know what i'm doing. and what i'm doing is for Nio. Now leave... Please.

She was left in your care, but under the Pua Hala. I don't think they meant wherever you feel like going when talking about under your care. Twy is already on her way to let them know. But it's a few days flight, I can get a message to them faster by carrier... So do me a favor... If whatever this is, takes longer than a sunset, you send that carrier by morning... It would be better if it came from you, so they aren't surprised when Twy gets there. *looks down at Sable and grunts, knowing she's gonna throw up all over him but has no choice. He walks over, taking her arm, slinging her over his shoulder, and turns back to Hua* Deal?

*She sighs* Deal. And Tell Nio not to worry about us okay?.

I'll tell him, but he's still going to worry. Probably shoulda told him before you left huh... *takes off with Sable back to the village*

*vomiting, crying, and whimpering the whole ride home*

*After they leave. She takes Makana off her back. and Heads over to a Secluded Area of the Trees. Where a Large, Firm Hammock, Surrounded by Glowing Leaves, Beautiful Flowers and a Small Stream encircling it Rests Between Three Arched Trees. The Place where Nio was Conceived that night. and runs her fingers along the intricate and tight weavings of it, surprised to see some of the Soft downy feathers still intact. keeping the bed soft. Before Climbing onto it and Setting Makana in her lap as she Digs around in her Sack for the Feather. pulling it out. and Looking at it for a moment*

Once again the feather seems to catch the light in ways that shouldnt be possible as it shines and reflects.

Hm.. Oh this feels so stupid. What is a feather going to do?.. *She asked herself. But because Nio is so insistent. She needs to try. So her first method is to point the feather somewhere random* Appear!

The feather glows slightly, but otherwise doesn't respond

*Thinking it's just a trick of the light. She groans and tries something different. Holding it close to her face for a moment before giving it a little kiss*

the feather feels unusually warm

*Feeling it's warmth. She looks at it again. Before picking up Makana and her bag and getting off the Hammock. She needed to be sure. Maybe it wasn't just the light... so she extended her arm and the feather out once again. And began slowly turning clockwise to see if that would do anything*

As she faces a slightly off pair of palms it glows slightly brighter

*She gasps. And turns it back in that direction. Quickly starting to walk towards it*

As she approaches, the palms themselves appear to glow. The air around them becoming..... different... as if there's something there that can't be seen.

Hm.. *Stopping a moment. Glancing back at Makana who was peeking over her shoulder. before Continuing her Cautious approach.*

17:37

*Steps through*

*She Squawked in Surprise and Stumbled back and Landed on the Ground. Sitting there in the Sand in Shock as she stares at him. Jaw hanging wide Open. Finding herself unable to form words* (edited)

*approaches, leaning down to offer her a hand* You came looking for me? Why? I thought you wanted it this way.

1

*Just stared at him for a moment. Kind of skeptical it was actually him. Here. But Accepted the offer anyway. Taking his hand*

*helps her up, and embracing her, not to tightly, but enough to convey what he says next* I've missed you.

1

*That Caught her Very off guard. Causing her to go a little limp as she just kind of lets those words sink in. and her eyes welled with tears as all the Anger and Regret she Held started to melt away slowly. Returning the Hug carefully*

17:49

*She couldn't admit it. to herself. or anyone yet.. But she now Realizes.. She's missed him too.*

1

How are you? How have you been?

Makana Poked her head over Hua's shoulder again. and looked at Araavos. just kind of staring at him. She could feel an energy coming from him that was familiar but. significantly Safer than the energy she had felt when she was born.

Um. I've.. Been.. *Feeling her stir over her shoulder. Looks back at her. and Then Sets her stuff down to take her off her back and hold her in her arms* Oh! That's reminded me... Is.. She yours?... After Her parents came to us and She began to Grow i.. Couldn't help but notice the Striking Resemblance of her horns to yours.. Since i don't know anyone else with horns..

No, she's not mine, but I do know who her parents are.

So You aren't the one who... You didn't.. Take advantage of her mother?

Funny they found themselves here though... And no, I'm not the childs father. Though her mother and I do have a history. But that since has ended, or so it would appear. But you were saying? *circling back to the fact she never did answer him*

*Sighing in relief* Oh.. Um.. I've been. Managing. I was sick for some time but.. Nio.. Our Son. He took care of me.. and.. He Discovered his feathers could heal so.. He Got me better. He looks so much like you... He wonders about you every day. Asks me what you were like... I tried.. I Tried to keep that all away from him. Felt it was best you stayed away but... Because i encouraged him to pursue a relationship he told me i have to Look for you to try to do the same. That said. I'm not sure our relationship can be Rekindled. I'm not as young as i once was but i'm not old either. And Romance is the last thing on my mind but.. He's wanted to meet you. to know you for so long..

Nothing is ever to late when time it'self bends to your will. But Nio huh? So it was a boy. *escorting her back to the hammock to sit with him* He sounds like a remarkable person. You should be proud of him. (edited)

*Sitting down next to him with Makana in between them* Oh i am. Every day. He's the most popular and loved member of our tribe. But he doesn't let that get to him or go to his head. How have you been?..

I.... recently took a sabbatical, things have not been well at the....... where i'm from. But it's since been resolved. But some scars still linger...

Hm.. I'm... Sorry to hear that...

It is as it had to be. But Hua, after all this time, are you happy?

Well. Of Course i am. I have a Wonderful Son who now has a wonderful lover. A Supportive and Amazing Village Community. Some good friends...

That's wonderful, but then I have to ask, why did you keep the feather?

Because it's all i had left of you. It's a reminder of what we had even for a brief moment. Or what.. i thought we might've had. what i realized too late i wanted.. just.. something special.

And what is that? And why didn't you tell me?

You.. You were gone by the time i woke up. Before i could talk to you about it..

18:38

I Realized too late i had... Fallen in love with you.

Has that changed, now that time has passed.

*Taking out her Milk Bottle to start feeding Makana* I Don't know. I'm not sure how to feel anymore. Much less if Love is even for me now. *Looking out past the trees at the Ocean.* I have to go back home soon though... Before Nio's Girl can make it to Makana's Parents to tell them where i've taken her. And Send them a message myself. I Promised i'd return before sunset.

Love is for everyone, even those that feel they don't deserve it, absolutely do. Love doesn't discriminate Between the sinners and the saints It takes and it takes and it takes And we keep lovin' anyway We laugh and we cry and we break And we make our mistakes. But Hua, if you need to get somewhere, I could take you, it would be much faster, and give us more time to talk, if you'd like anyway. (edited)

I... I'd appreciate that.. So i guess that means you're.. Coming back home with me?... With Us..? Oh Feathers you'll have to Stay hidden until i can find Nio.. I have to do this carefully so i don't give him too much of a heart attack... Um.. Oh! There shouldn't be anyone at the Hot springs this time of day... Can you fly me there. And wait while i Drop Makana off with her furred Family and Get Nio?...

For you, anything, though, as much as i'd love to fly you there, *opens a portal to the hotsprings* This would likely be faster.. *opens a second one to the beach, but in a nondescript location, behind some bushes*

Oh.. *Just looking at the portals in surprise* How.. How did you...

There's a lot about me, you don't know Hua.. But we can talk about that later, that is, if you do come find me at the springs. Until then, I will wait, all night if I must. But come sunrise, if you don't come, i'll know why, and I won't be there.

*She nods. And Gets up* I Understand... Um.. Thank you.. I'll try to be back as soon as Possible.. *She said. Before hurrying through the portal back to Pua*

*walks through the one to the hot springs*

*Coming out from behind the Bushes near the Beaches, Looking around* Uri? Uri are you here?

*was sitting at the bar when he heard her* Hua? When did you get back? I just got here not long ago? Did you follow me back?

I have no time to Explain. I need you to catch up to Twyla and stop her from Delivering that Letter. Have you seen Nio around?

What? Why? No? Look one question at a time okay?

I only asked one question. Just go get Twyla and bring her back. I have to find Nio. But first i have to drop This one off with her Siblings. *She said before heading to the Furs Hut*

*"You owe me one..... " as he takes off after her*

Sable? Onyx?

Motha! Where ya been, ya had us all worried sick yeah?!

*passed out on the floor*

*Was standing there when Uri and Sable got back to talk to Uri about His sister's current coniditon and laughing a little. then Hua came and he just looked confused* Huh?

Nio! There you are! Here Onyx i need you to take care of Makana for a little while. I hope you can manage that. *She said, Handing Makana to Onyx along with the supplies she brought for her. before hurrying over to Nio and taking his hand* We have to go. I'll Explain when we get there.

Woah. Uh.. Um.. Yeah okay i think.. i've got this.. *Looking at Makana and booping her. before lifting up the supplies and heading off to the hut*

*running along as she runs away* Get where? What is dis about ya? Mom, what's going on? Where ya go?

We're going to the Hot Springs. You'll find out why when we get there. Just follow me. and Try not to go Too fast will ya? *She said. And immediately takes off in that direction*

*takes off, easily keeping pace trying to get her to tell him what's going on in route*

Just Trust me Son Okay? If i tell you you'll never believe me. May even call me Crazy. I just need you to Relax.

Good ting we be goin to da hot spring den. But you gon tell me everyting, okay?

When we Get there...

They Spend some time Flying to the Hot Springs in an Awkward Silence. Meanwhile Uri catches up with twy, Explains what he can, and Heads back to Pua with her. Where they Enjoy Dinner. Watch others Dance. and Wait Patiently for their return.
