Aekoli let out a soft sigh of relief and nodded, just to Henson. I would have done it without you asking. Kael's my friend. she wasn't exactly sure what made her so unusually loyal to him. Maybe she felt guilty for getting together with Preston after he confessed. Maybe because of this crazy adventure. Who knows? The pint was, if it was in her power Aekoli wouldn't let anyone hurt him.

Henson understood, smiling to himself. Very well. I trust you to know what you are doing. Then I will entrust him to you.
Kaelen shifted in his sleep, holding his arm gently as he curled into himself further.
Henson looked over at his brother, shaking his head again as the boy turned away from the window.

Aekoli leaned her head against the widow, and it was only then she noticed the outside world.
"Whoa..." She breathed, and the sky reflected in er purple eyes. The mountains were... Beautiful. She had never been so high, not even in the skyscrapers of the city. She heard a small laugh behind her.
"I forget, you've never been here..." Person whispered, putting an arm around her shoulders. It was such a familiar touch, Aekoli relaxed and then leaned her head in his shoulder. Friendly, not romantic.
"Yeah... It's awesome..."

Henson's eyes narrowed as he watched the two, turning to the sudden movement from Kaelen as the boy rose from his slumber and looked outside. "I forget... sometimes what they once looked like... when the snow was not a part of the mountain range when I was little..." he mumbled, almost absentmindedly.
He shifted uncomfortably, sliding onto the window's edge before slinking up to the front of the carriage to get a better look. The boy held onto the roof as he stood and watched as they grew closer to the mountains, but Balikan's whinny made him turn his attention to the house.
"What is it, Balikan?"
"We should rest for a while. It will take another half day to reach the peak, so we should sleep while we can." Balikan tossed his head, looking over at Kaelen with a snort. "Well? You need to rest and eat, and I am sure the others are weary as well."
Kael said nothing to the Night Mare's words, only nodding and looking back to the setting sun and the shimmering of the ice-capped mountains. The sound of Henson leaning out of the window and clearing his throat was the only thing that snapped Kael out of his daze. "Kael, what's up? You okay?"
Kaelen frowned, looking over at his brother and shrugged. "Nothing... but we're going to stop to rest and eat. We can continue tomorrow." Henson continued looking at him, but he nodded and slipped back inside of the carriage as Kaelen hopped down onto the ground. "Relax, Balikan. You don't have to keep going anymore. We're going to rest here."
The horse snorted and stopped, stamping his hooves in the dirt lightly. "Alright, everybody out!" he neighed, making Kaelen smile and shake his head.
"Come on, everybody, that's enough for today. We're going to eat and rest tonight," Kael called, unharnessing Balikan from the carriage and taking off the horse's bridle. "Go eat and rest, Balikan. We'll start tomorrow in the morning when we're all up."

Preston nudged Aekoli. "Help me with the good?" She nodded, and the two exited, already thinking f what they were going to make. Kagerou was hot on their heels, catching up to Preston and jumping from the shorter Arkoli onto Preston.
It was Astoria, the so-called speed devil who exited last. She was fidgeting strangely, her hairs flicking to her eyes every so often to shade her vision though it was getting darker by the minute.
"Oi, Balikan," the girl called, coming over to pet the horse. "Thanks for the ride. riding on anything not powered by her was a rare luxury. Perhaps the rarest.

The stallion snorted, tossing his fiery green mane back and nuzzling the girl's face gently. "Of course, young Spirit of Wind. Anything for you and the Vessels. Your kind have always treated my own with such tender care and are welcome to the mountains whenever they please," he neighed softly, tossing his head ever so slightly before bending his neck down and beginning to graze once more.
Henson watched Astoria and the horse for only a moment before heading over, bumping the snow-haired girl's shoulder gently. "Hey," he murmured, smiling with one eyebrow raised, "don't let him get too full of himself." He grinned and looked at the horse, whom lifted its eyes and frowned at him. "We wouldn't want him to get too big of a head, even if he is the king."
The horse snorted, pawing at the earth before turning his back on Henson. "I will make an exception for this Vessel, however. I like his brother more than I like him, in spite of the difference in years I have known both."
Henson chuckled, moving and stroking Balikan's neck gently. "I am only joking, mein freund. You should know that by now."
The horse snorted again, its ears flicking as Kaelen walked past the three. "I'm... going to wash up. There's a stream not far from here. I'll come back when I'm ready," he said simply, making Henson stare after him in confusion. The boy disappeared into the shadows, his brother wondering just what was wrong with his normally-excited brother.
"Leave him for right now... He'll come back," he said, though it was unclear if he was speaking out loud to himself or if he was talking to Astoria. It could have been either one, though it was probably more likely to be the former because the boy turned and started to stroke Balikan's back absentmindedly.

Now it was Astoria's turn to bump his shoulder. "Oi, you look like you're about to philosophical-monologue on me. Alright, spit it out." She tippe her head at him. "It's your little bro, isn't it?" She noticed that Henson had seemed... Increasingly worried for his brother, which was concerning, considering he was no longer beig.... Um, sacrificed and stuff.

Henson snorted and looked back at her, smiling ruefully. How did she always know what was going on with him? Maybe it was because of all the clues that he accidentally gave her... oops.
"Well, yes and no," he said with a shrug, sighing as he turned away from Balikan and moved to Astoria's side. "He's... been acting strange lately, and I'm worried something has happened other than the obvious. I know he must feel empty without Unmei, as I did when Shinri left, but... he should have recovered from all of that by now. I doubt it's the scar, because that should seal up in a few days and shouldn't bother him anymore."
"Maybe he just needs time away from... those two," Balikan suggested, looking over at Koli and Preston. Henson looked up and towards the two kids - well, that was a vague term and didn't really describe them, but they certainly acted like kids. Henson could only sigh and roll his eyes.
"I don't doubt that..." he muttered disdainfully, looking away from them. "But he should have recovered from that as well. I'm... not sure what's wrong, honestly."

Kaelen, far into the depths of the forest, away from the others and close to his own version of peace, was staring at the stream blankly. Unmei's departure, the scar, and other reasons were only half of what was wrong with him. He had used up so much time, effort, his own strength, and most of his energy trying to protect that silly girl and she still managed to show up and... almost kill him.
Well, that was possibly his fault for not explaining the entire situation, but she had still done what he had tried to stop her from doing. It wasn't really a bad thing, but it was frustrating to think about. Which was why he didn't think about it... sort of.
He was thinking back on it, mainly on the part of her arrival when Ninchi had started to question her on her appearance and whether or not she loved Kaelen. It had puzzled both the Fate Triplet as well as the boy, even when Koli seemed to have made up her mind on who she had wanted to be with.
Kael sighed, leaning back on the soft moss bed, staring up through the trees as the sun began to set. He could see the colors of the sky changing from where he lay, and even then he thought they were strange. How did they change like that? How were they able to shift into such amazing and awesome colors and hues? If only he knew...
But the boy returned his thoughts back to the previous topic, sitting up only slightly to look at the stream's change in colors thanks to the sunset. What, I wonder, is the reason I am here...? Unmei is gone and the cult has no way to bring him back to destroy the earth... So what am I doing here, traveling to the Northern Mountain range?

Astoria snorted slightly as she saw Preston as Arkoli finish the rest of whatever they were putting into the pot. They had brought enough provisions to feed a small army...
… or made a bu pot of soup. Astoria, thanks to her... Transformation, could smell it and it was making her less Agee to see what was in the pit and more eager to see what came out.
"Oi, Henson..." She said softly to him. "Thanks for that one time. When we met. I said I didn't need your help but... Thanks."
She abruptly started forward, her serious time gone and replaced by her usual Chersire smile. "So what's cooking?"

Preston sighed as he saw Astorua start over. "Um, what don't you see if you can find some water? I heard Kaelen say there was a river or something... We could fill these canteens." He said, handing er some empty bottles. He knew Aekoli, and though he didn't know Astorua he knew how the two'd racy. Aekoli had a short temper for annoying people. She was a very.. Emotional girl.
Aekoli nodded, squinting at the sun. Surely shecould find Kael before dark. "I'll be back."

//#henstoria!

Henson looked over, blinking as he saw Astoria walk away. Balikan lifted his head, seemingly smirking at the burgundy-haired young man beside him before snorting back a small laugh and shoving Henson away.
Henson glared back at the horse, but said nothing as he headed towards the carriage. "Okay, okay! Good grief, Balikan... you're so picky," he sighed, shaking his head.

Kael's ears twitched at the sound of footsteps, instantly sending him into the nearest tree, crouched on a branch with his hands on his sword's hilt while glaring and snarling down at whoever was nearing him.
He relaxed as he saw who it was, releasing the hilt of the sword and sinking back against the tree's trunk.
"What are you doing here?" Kaelen rasped out, looking down at the red-haired girl. She seemed to have been sent out by someone to get water, seeing as she had canteens in her hands, but it looked like she had another purpose to coming into the woods.

//:D #Kaeokli!!!
Oi, should I initiate super-evil plot now or later?

Aekoli jumped back, startled, then looked up. "Oh, Kael! There you are!" She tipped er head, looking up to him. "I've been looking for you... What are you doing up there?" Shaking her head, she held out her canteens. "Prestin said you knew there was a river around here... But how far?" Her voice had softened, and her eyes watched out at his. He was far, but he could tell that something was wrong. Kael wasn't acting ing like he normally did, less cheerful and fiery. Now, he just seemed moody.
"Are you alright, Kael?"

//Lol, YAASSS!!!

Hmm... go ahead and initiate it. I'm curious to see what it is.

Kael sighed, relaxing with a shake of his head. "Um... yeah..." he mumbled, pointing to her right. "Look to your right... you're right next to it," he said, almost laughing at her but holding it back. "I'm fine, Koli... I just..."
He turned and leaned against the tree, staring off into the distance. He looked almost confused or lost, like he was searching the horizon for something that he was missing. Eventually he shook his head and looked down at her. He didn't know how to phrase what he was going to say, and he had to look away.
"I... I don't know..." he sighed. "I just don't know anymore. I don't know if I'm going insane, if there's something wrong with me because of Unmei's leave, or... if this is how things are supposed to be. It... it just feels like there's something missing from me. Like half of my heart has been ripped out." He sighed, closing his eyes and bowing his head. "I just don't know anymore..."

"Well, if there's any way to fill that hole... Just ask, OK?" Aekoli gave Kaelen a sad smile before starting up the little path, calling over her shoulder one more time. "Nothing like good food to fill an empty stomach as well!"

Preston had gotten worried. It was getting dark, so he had set out on his own to find Aekoli. Astoria had offered to just send out a large wind message, but Preston figure if anyone was looking for them... Let's just say subtly wasn't Astoria's strong suit.
He felt a prickling in his neck, almost painful, that caused him to look back- and crash right into Aekoli. She dropped a canteen in surprise, right before Preston enveloped her in a hug.
"I- uh, Preston, are you OK?"
"I was worried something happened to you." His voice was very... Hard? It was hard o describe, but Preston looked like he had something on his mind.
"Come here." Aekoli had reached down to pick up the canteen but Preston had basically yanked her off the trail, pushing we up against a tree, far off the path.
"Pres-" she didn't have the time before Preston slammed his lips into hers.

Something was wrong. Preston's kissed were always gentle- on her, on his relatives. She tried to push away.
"Pres-"
"Don't scream." He whispered before the knife entered her body.

// ono Wait... D: WHAT?!

Kael smiled faintly, shaking his head and relaxing in the tree. Almost fifteen minutes later did he smell the blood, and his eyes flashed open and he stood so abruptly that he almost fell from the branch. What... is this?
I do not know, but you need to leave. Whatever happened, go!
Kael hesitated, wondering if he should take Unmei's advice - more like his order - or go with his instincts. Instinct won out and he stepped forward, leaping silently from branch to branch before spotting the blood splatter. His heart stopped and he froze, looking around before spotting the two.
It was strange to see the blue envelop his gaze before he even drew his sword but the blade was out in two seconds as he pushed off of the branch with a cry of hatred. "Preston, I swear I'm going to kill you!" he snarled, flames burning up the tree he had just been standing on. "Release her, Preston!"
The fire exploded in his rage, blue flames creeping over towards Preston and Aekoli before Kael managed to control the inferno and pull them back.

Henson's head shot up, whipping around to face the forest. "Astoria... where are Preston and Aekoli?" he asked, looking to the girl. "Where are they?" His fears grew as he saw flames explode into the sky, right where Kael had vanished to.
Henson turned, not waiting for a reply from Astoria before sprinting off to find his brother and the girl. Kaelen... you better be okay...

Aekoli was whimpering, on the ground, her hands holding the knife. Those fifteen minutes Kaelen had taken was Preston- or whoever this was- turning the knife in her gut, slowly, carefully, muffling her screams with a kiss. What did he want from her? Why, why, why...? It hurt... It hurt... Why...?

Preston let a smile creep onto his lips, sidestepping eh rage if flames and hiding behind a tree. "There, there... you wouldn't want to hurt this boy, would you?" Preston walked out again, his gleaming brown eyes on Kaelen's. "oh, I forgot to mention. My name is Pierre, not Preston. Not this body's name." He smiled, picking up Arkoli, releasing a hoarse scream from the tortured girl's lips.
"They call me the Plug- In. My body died ages ago, but my mind lives." He cocked a look over to Kaelen. "Où flames only hurt the bad ones, correct? This body contains me and the boy. Destroy this body and you end up killing not just me, but Preston as well.
"Actually..." Pierre said calmly, his hand on the knife. Aekoli whimpered, crying out, "no, no, no, stop- please, please- agk!" She coughed up blog as Pierre turne ethereal lined inside her side once more. "Now... I'm going I need this girl's body. You'll leave me be, won't you? Once I transfer myself iti her the wound will be sealed. If you kill me now- if you can, considering Preston is good- then this girl dies."

Kael's wrath almost overrode his desire - this strange necessity that stemmed from deep within the pit of his stomach - to keep Aekoli alive, but the hesitation in him was enough to bring him back to his senses and he dropped the sword, staring helplessly as he watched Pierre - from Preston's body - hold Aekoli.
No words in the mortal world could describe how much agony Kael could feel. All the heartache, the pain, the fear gripping his heart... no words could describe the feeling. Eventually he just stared at Pierre and Aekoli, listening to the sound of the fire crackling behind him and Henson's approaching steps.
But his brother and Astoria were too far off... and Kael was too powerless to do anything.
Kaelen-
"Release her," he said. "Release both of them."
He didn't know whether or not he had lost his mind, nor did Unmei, but his tone was completely serious. "Release her or be burned. You don't understand my powers if you think it does what you believe it does," he said, stepping forward. He lifted a hand, blue flames dancing dangerously around his hand. "Now, or I will drive my blade through this boy's heart and both of you will die."
It took all of his strength just to say such things. Aekoli's life was dangling on a thread and he had barely enough time to heal her if he got the chance. He doubted this Pierre would allow for such a thing to happen, but he had to at least try to save Aekoli.

"Nuh-uh-uh," Pierre said, holding Awkoli in front of him. "Make a move, I take this other knife I have and play acupuncture with your girlfriend. Or I could always pull this knife out and let her bleed out. Let me turn it one more time..." He tipped his head I the side in the way Preston always did, "and she lives. My possesion is born from pain, Kaelen. You should've see how much this boy took." Aekoli's eyes fluttered weakly at that. She tried to speak but all she could do was cough weakly, before blacking out again.
"There, there. One more turn, Kaelen. What's it gonna be?"

He hesitated again, glaring ferociously at the being holding onto Preston's body and killing Aekoli. But he stepped back, looking helplessly at the girl. I'll get you back. "Do it one more time and I will kill you here and now," he said, stepping away and turning his back on Pierre.
"If you dare to harm her in any way... I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth," he said, looking over his shoulder before vanishing into the trees. He was still there, however, watching from a distance so he could see Aekoli's body heal.
I'm not going to let you face this alone... you're not going to be in his hands for long. I'll get you back... I promise. His ears twitched as he listened, sending his gaze back as he heard Henson coming his way. What... are you doing? He looked behind him, spotting the fire that he had started. He looked away, watching Pierre once again to make sure the man didn't harm Aekoli any further.

To that, Pierre only shrugged and turned the knife inside Aekoli one last time, causing her to cough up another fountain of blood...
And suddenly stand up on her own.
Preston's body, in return, fell back lifeless. It hit the ground with a sickening thud, only to be revived a few seconds later with the awkward flapping of his body and sudden retching. Preston turned over, onto his stomach, a promptly vomited.
"Ko...li...?" He coughed out after he was done. Preston's face was pale, but he managed o look up at the bloodied figure of Aekoli. She blinked down at him, a frown of confusion crossing her face. "Pres...?" And her knees started to buckle. A split second later, they regained their posture.
"Oh dear me. Seems like this girl is a little weaker than I'm used to." Pierre shrugged and looked over to where Kaelen had disappeared. "See? Unharmed. Now if you'll let me go about my business..." He let the sentence trail off, and suddenly the look of confusion was back on Aekoli's face. "Kael...?" She mumbled, then collapsed.

"Oi! Big Blue!" A rapid gust of wind tore through the trees, nearly extinguishing the fire. With it came a familiar face and voice. Astoria's eyes were narrow then wide as she sniffed the air, smelling blood and vomit. "Oh... What the-?!" Her eyes soon followed, and landed on the collapsed lumps of flesh known as Aekoli and Preston.

Kaelen watched for another moment before dropping to the ground in front of his brother, turning and glaring at him. "Who is Pierre?" he asked, his teeth bared in his fury. Henson stared at him like he was mad, at which Kaelen understood that Henson knew no one by the name of Pierre.
Kael whipped around, moving to Koli and gently scooping her into his arms before letting Henson pick up Preston. "I'd anything happens to her... I will kill all that stand in my way," he snarled, looking over at Astoria and Henson before turning away from them and walking off towards the camp they had made.
"Koli..." he sighed, frowning down at her and kissing the top of her head gently. "Please don't leave me..."
