Simmian rippled his chained hand, and sat in a small disgust though unnoticable to anyone but himself. "Do you have a mother?" he asked him with blue eyes dying in their glow, and became a lifless dimmed gray.
Marleina nodded and galloped off again and thanked Dikan for the help as well. "You can make it Fieara! Please hold on!" she whispered to her and patted her neck as they ran. "I'll do my best child...but everyone in the world learns to let go- so then something new and wonderful and come into the world instead," Fieara answered weak but revived all at once. Marleina passed the darts a mile or two ahead of the attackings. She dismounted her horse and checked the wound and saw her worst fears. The chest, Fieara was bleeding from the dislodged dart in between the crease of her chest.

The darts began to die down and their aim steadily became worse. Eventually, the darts were gone and Dikan was in the clear. He put his swords away just at the time that his stallion trotted up alongside of him. "Lets Go!" He said to his horse even though he knew the horse could not understand. As soon as Dikan jumped up on the horse, it took off without Dikan even kicking it. Maybe the horse did understand him.
He lowered his head, trying to maintain his aerodynamics. The horse galloped ahead, trying to keep up with Akira.

Akira looked up at the sky, the stars already twinkling down on her, 'Wow that was fast...' she thought though it probably seemed to happen so fast because they were occupied with other thoughts at the time and didn't notice the sun setting. "Might take two or three days to get to Jouta..." she said under her breath, it was a rough estimate and that was only if they rode nonstop which she knew wasn't possible both the horses and riders would need a break sooner or later.
"Of course I have a mom! What are you, stupid?" Jouta said in response to Simmian's blatantly obvious question. Of course he was just a kid and didn't think through the context of the question that it was most likely asking if his mother was still alive- which honestly he wasn't sure of.
"His mom's coming right now, her name is Akira." Tehara said, it was all he knew about Jouta's mother at the moment and she didn't know that anything should be kept a secret from the prisoners.

Simmian stood up and walked a little towards the opening of the bars and the door to the walkway. His body dirty from the lasting time too long to count. "Because, he's most likely after her and is using you for bait," he responded to the boy.

Jouta looked towards Simmian though he still couldn't see him, "What? Why?" he asked, his voice now sounding more confused then ever.
"Please understand that Master Aroroth is trying to help you." Tehara said, "Thats what he told me." she added as she placed her hand on Jouta's shoulder and Jouta barely seemed to notice, the person in the other cell seemed to know what was going on and he wanted to understand too.
Skiit appeared in the cell, tearing himself from the shadows, "Tehara! You were supposed to keep him from asking questions!" he smacked the girl accross the face, "I want you to go back to your quarters! You come back then you'll get more then a beating that's for sure!" he frowned as the girl ran away and dissapeared into the shadows in a puff of dust as if she were a ghost and he frowned, looking over towards Simmian, "Tell the boy any more and I'll make sure you're accomodations are suited better for you." He said as he faded away from existance with an angry glare in his eyes.
Jouta stared at where the stranger had once been and he just stared, his eyebrow twitching slightly. God was this place weird!

Marleina looked around and whispered an apology to Fieara after a touch form her necklace- which would heal her enough to get close to where they were holding the boy and her friend. She wondered as she took a near by walk around the woods and to the stars above, if she'd see her friend again- and if Akira would see her son again, if all would be back to normal when the ordeal was over. However, even for her- that was too many if statements for a night, besides, they were deep and personally dear thoughts at that to be saying 'what if?" Honestly, anyone could say WHAT IF all night long, should they have a desire to, but thinking about it only caused pain on her side. "I'll be seeing you. In all the old familiar places. That this heart of mine embraces. All day through.In that small cafe;The park across the way; the children's carousel; the chestnut trees;The wishin' well. I'll be seeing you. In every lovely summer's day;In every thing that's light and gay.I'll always think of you that way. I'll find you in the morning sun, and when the night is new.I'll be looking at the moon, But I'll be seeing you. I'll be seeing you. In every lovely summer's day; in every thing that's light and gay. I'll always think of you that way. I'll find you,In the morning sun. And when the night is new. I'll be looking at the moon, But I'll be seeing you," she sang the song as she took a nea by strole in the moonlight; looked up at the stars, and could feel Simmian behind her- hugging her the way he always did.
"My friend is coming for us- and she's close. She's with your mother," Simmian said to the boy on the other end and looked out the tiny excuse for a window and saw the sun setting.

((Wait- I'm confused now... where's everyone? Did Marleina teleport herself or something? Or is she with everyone else, oooor did she teleport everyone? Because for personal plot reasons I need Akira to get ahead of everyone and get there first... maybe they could decide to get sleep before going in or something and instead of waiting Akira's all impatient and goes after Jouta when everyone's sleeping... but anyways Akira needs to get there before anyone else NO MATTER WHAT!! Why? Because it's important to me, that's why.)

(Okay, Merleina ditched us and used magic to *poof* herself to the place... and I guess she's going ahead but I'm okay now because I have a plan to make Akira get there first. I'm sure Darius will have some wonderfully inventive and creative way to get everyone else there in the mean time but Akira will in fact kinda *poof* away herself... So good luck catching up with la chicas, we'll be having our own agendas to go by for a while... Akira's plan is gonna fail...
Akira: No! My plan is foolproof! Nobody will see it coming. Li-Wa: Just keep telling yourself that *pats Akira on the head*)

Jouta slid to the floor and sighed as his head rested against the metal bars and he looked at the ceiling with a bored expression on his face. A pair of black fox ears slowly peeked from his skull like grass growing from the earth and through the snow in the early spring. Of course Jouta barely noticed except his head began itching terribly from the development of fox ears and he scratched without realising the ears.
Skiit appeared atop the horse's rump and he looked towards Akira with a bored expression. "Sister, if you wish to come to see your son then all you must do is come back to us." he said.
This caused an idea to flash into Akira's mind and she smiled at the thought of fooling Aroroth and everyone else. It pleased it her so much that she foolishly forgot to think through her entire plan and she looked towards Skiit and nodded, "Brother, I was never gone." she said as she tried to mimick the voice as well as possible.
Skiit nodded, "Then let us be on our way." the two dissapeared off the back of the horse in a misty black smoke.

(I say now is a good point for a time-jump... Explanation: Akira, Jouta, and Marleine are gone now and we can just skip days of travel for the rest and we'll get to the point of everyone being at the fortress. That seems like the best idea to me since it will cut off all the complications. Just start a new topic or something.)

Dikan slowed his horse as a huge structure arose from the ground in front of him. He had lost Akira a few days back and had followed the horse tracks for days and nights. He grew weary, but knew that this task must be done.
The structure was huge. There were many towers located within a large stone wall. There seemed to be a draw-bridge that led to the entrance, but it was pulled up. The fortress was surrounded by a large moat as well as many barricades on the moat's shores.
