       Having Eden claiming it wasn't his fault confused Skoll, getting
       a surprised expression from the wolfkin when the woman sat in
       his lap as Snow touched his arm in a comforting manner. The
       redhead's hands moving up his chest getting his skin to tense
       under her touch. He listened to her speak, tilting his head at
       what she said, getting a blush when she called him strong.
       Then her hands were on his cheeks telling him not to worry
       before pulling him into a gentle kiss befofe claiming to not be
       angry. Then End too, as if to nail in the idea, gave him a kiss
       that *really* got him going.
       The giant of a man practically incased End in his arms and he
       snuggled the woman back. "Skoll patrol," he readily agreed.
       A wide eyed expression came to Skoll's eyes when Snow pulled
       Adan into his lap. The serious expression Snow held having him
       zeroed in. The wolfkin stared for a long moment once Snow
       explained before a very wide smirk crossed his lips seeing Snow
       kiss  Adan and then the dark haired nobleman pulling him back
       into a kiss.
       "Skoll get it," he mused before moving his hand to End's jaw to
       get her looking back up at him. Kissing the woman *deeply*, "End
       tell Skoll what want?" He questioned, his hand not holding her
       jaw roaming her lower back but not dipping lower without
       permission.
       ---fin---
       Eden  gave a soft smile hearing snow finally out with it. She
       shelved the book offer for another time to talk- wanting to
       focus on the idea of mating. Her head cocking to the side Adan
       give a sound of being pulled into another man’s lap.
       Course hearing the man about announce the fact of  not being
       jealous made her chuckle. “Why would I be?…as I said.. greedy.”
       She said to look back at skoll briefly.
       Course when Adan got flustered gave another chuckle.”either of
       us can be gentle.. “ said Eden as they got into seeing snow
       kissing another man- not that she minded this point.
       “Seems he’s adapting well already hm?” She joked before a hand
       grabbed her chin, end taking over to grin at the man getting to
       making her look up. The snuggling and the talk seemed to put the
       big guy at ease, feeling her mouth taken. She felt her body
       tingle with need- groaning hotly as things flickered in her mind
       of what she could want-, as she parted for a breath.
       Feeling his hands graze against her skin.. and chest-
       grinned.”before we start- warning for the three of you.” Said
       end.
       “No babies- not yet.. not ready.. can’t control yourself mouth
       or ass-“ said end- her hands pointing at the respective places.
       “Or just all over me- just not inside where babies come from-
       understand?” She joked a bit  before looking  at the wolfkin.
       “Go on.. you can play..” she purred a bit as her hood went off
       baring her back.
       Her head motioned a bit to see that most were in their tents to
       feel safe enough to do what she felt was right. For her this was
       something she wouldn’t just expose so easily..
       Gently pushed up her blind fold to show some red orbs to skoll,
       they flickered to purple.. to a clear cerulean color.. to going
       back to red.
       They glowed rather softly as her eyes ran over the man’s aura
       and face.
       “Mate..” she murmured before her mouth connected with skolls. A
       soft moan sliding out again. Her hips gave a permitting rock -
       as her small body pressed against skolls.
       ——-
       Ezra nodded.”I am fine with that- and as for getting hurt-
       that’s inevitable in a real fight.. “ he told the blood
       speaker.”there’s been training where I have been beaten to a
       pulp cause well… I slipped up, khali had to step in a few
       times.” He said with a sigh,
       “But I don’t mind those that don’t have ill will training with
       too- and different styles?“ he asked.
       “Well I’m glad one was able to properly help you.” He said to
       hear the next few abilities. He did find it odd about the gender
       though jt be shelved for another day.
       Ezra felt the hands to the deep kiss, somehow it felt familiar,
       and a dream came to mind that been reoccurring for the man..
       flashes of a different face came to mind.. the desert hardly
       that in his dreams.
       The question posed made him chuckle.”I do believe it.. granted I
       use to have dreams of a man and a bond that was close- maybe it
       was you in a former life?” He said with a smile.
       A soft pulse rippled through the man a bit- the sense of
       dripping water more apparent.”more..” he asked before atreaus
       would be drawing in a more passionate kiss.
       ——
       Snow finally pulled back from Adan's deep kiss when he heard
       Eden say something about a warning. He nodded in understanding,
       not the least bit bothered by her up front way of talking. He
       held back a chuckle seeing Adan's face getting super red.
       "I do know how babies are made," Adan said with a soft sigh.
       "I've read countless books on how the body works, I don't forget
       anything I've read,"
       Snow was grinning a bit at this, and was quite impressed that
       Adan never forgot anything he had read. "That's rather
       impressive."
       Adan relaxed a bit as Snow gently caressed his body and they got
       back into making out hotly. He let out a rather deep moan when
       Snows hands slipped into his pants and started brazenly touching
       and teasing his body even more.
       "We ..we aren't going to do it out here where everyone can see
       are we?" He groaned softly, his eyes glancing around a bit
       warily.
       His eyes widened a bit seeing Eden without her hood and grinding
       against Skoll. "They look rather stunning together, don't you
       think? Come on, we can use the tent if you'd prefer." snow said
       getting up and lifting Adan up like he weighed nothing.
       Adan couldn't help but make that strangled shocked sound again,
       clinging to Snow's shoulders as he was carried into the tent and
       laid out on the soft furs.
       "May I strip you down?" snow purred, trailing his hands over
       Adan's still clothes body.
       "Gods yes," Adan moaned softly and bit into his bottom lip.
       The both of them were soon completely naked and Snow began
       teasing his body with kisses and nips before he went down on
       him. Adan let out a loud moan, his hands gripping Snow's hair as
       the ravager began pleasuring and loosening him up in wicked
       sinful ways. "Oh gods, your tongue...your mouth feel so good!"
       Adan cried out a bit loudly.
       -----
       "well if you do get hurt, I'll make sure to heal you," Atreus
       murmured back.
       He was starting to feel like the poor guy had been subjected to
       brain washing. Being beaten to a pulp was no way of training to
       become a guard. "Sounds like you went through aot of tough
       training,"
       Atreus smiled, thinking of Snow's special talent. He was sure
       that he'd be the best to train Ezra. Not to mention that Snow
       wouldn't let himself be manipulated in overtraining Ezra.
       He nodded slightly at Ezra's comment about the demon helping
       him. "Up until I met the demon, I thought like most dud about
       them. But they're really not much different than us humans. They
       fear just as much as we do."
       Atreus wasn't sure why Ezra chuckled at his question. He relaxed
       a great deal when his mate explained that he often had dreams of
       another man and had felt a bond with the man in his dream.
       "It is very likely that it was me in another life. I've dreamt
       of different faces, most with red hair much like your own,"
       Atreus admitted playing with a few strands of his mate's hair.
       Their mouths were once again entangled as his hands wandered
       over Ezra's body.  After a rather intense make out session,
       leaving him stirred up and quite horny, he pulled back and
       nipped Ezra's bottom lip, his hands groping his mate's body.
       "If you're still sore, I could ride you this time," he purred.
       "I want you to claim me too, just...I don't do well being pinned
       down,"
       ----fin----
       With the warning of not wanting pups yet was out of the way and
       her concent given, Skoll was entirely zeroed in on End, his
       hands moving to disrobe her and explore every inch of her body
       while gazing at her. His eyes went wide seeing the mask be
       pulled away and the glowing orbs he witnessed changing colors.
       "Mate," he said in agreement before a growling groan left him.
       Within moments his clothes were discarded and his fingers deep
       inside of her to make sure the woman could take him before he
       shoved himself deep inside.
       At this point, any semblance of control Skoll might of had was
       gone as he ravaged End, even going as far as biting her
       shoulder, causing a mark of a moon to appear on her shoulder
       where he bit, permanently marking her as his mate.
       ---fin---
       End felt the clothing shift away. The word mate slipped so
       easily from skolls lips.. the growling groan told her it
       wouldn’t be that long, her eyes watching as his clothing slid
       off without care, his eyes giving a look like she’d be consumed.
       The way his hand slipped between her thighs as the other hand
       held a leg open. Her lips parted at the invasion and how they
       wiggled almost testing her heat.
       There was no brief moment between the moment the fingers left..
       or time to whine before her eyes widened at the fill of
       skoll.”fuck..” hissed end in pleasure before she felt the
       movement.
       Her gasps and moans turned to cries and little struggling on
       purpose. The woman enjoying the rough wild treatment.
       She yanked her mask down as she let her head back getting lost
       in the feeling before feeling teeth. “Oh fuck.. yes!.” She cried
       coming undone blood drawn enough to end up meeting skolls
       movements,
       The feral touching, the feel of nails and more got her a bit
       lost in the feeling.. least until she  once saw fluctuation of
       his  aura  that mixed and pulsed with hers-and instinct would
       get him to pull out. Her chest rose and fall with a smile that
       filled her face as she watched him cum and making her a mess.
       In her mind One man was committed.. snow was still on Eden’s
       mind clearly. As she snuggled skoll assured her gentler half
       there would be a time to claim him.. she cared not for who saw
       her naked. She felt protected by the mountain of a man that
       swallowed her in a cuddled embrace. She began to doze off, her
       body smooshed against the man. Her ears caught what faint noises
       she could from the tent.
       She was only semi unsure of Adan. He was flustered clearly and
       she liked that.. and was knowledgeable.. she wanted to get to
       know him somehow more..
       A few strands of her wild red hair fell in her face to brush it
       away as she exhaustedly began to fall asleep.
       Meanwhile.. in another part of the camp.

       ^^^
       Ezra was blushing with what was said. The idea of him keeping
       his red hair made him wonder - but it was muffled by a heated
       kiss.  Hands wandering around and the question.”okay.. ride
       me..” he said his cerulean eyes taking in the man.
       It wouldn’t be long till he was on the throughs of passion. The
       feel of the hot mouth, the tongue running at him. His head going
       back with a swallow.
       Skin smacked skin as he watched Atreus bounce on top of him- the
       movement mesmerizing. For some reason it made him think the
       motion of the waves, his hips rolling in time with atreaus as it
       became more intense.
       He unraveled as he felt his climax, and once he was a mess from
       atreaus would he move them for him to be on top of the man.
       His eyes closed after a time of snuggling and him telling
       atreaus.”I love you…” before he fell asleep.
       ———
       Morning crept over the camp that had taken over Eden’s small
       oasis. The girl slowly waking in the arms of skoll that snuggled
       her. Her masked eyes taking in his sleeping face as she managed
       to slide her way out. A bath was on her mind as she collected
       her things, to greet her twin that had the same idea.
       He saw Eden to call out.”wait!” To stall and saw her state of
       undress.
       He shook his need to ask her to get dressed and said.”I was
       hoping we could talk.. maybe breakfast?” He asked before he saw
       his sister turn.
       “Fine but after I bathe- had one hell of a beautiful night.” She
       told him with a really big smile before her head would move over
       his form.
       “seems like I wasn’t the only one .” Eden said her head tilting
       a chuckle forming with a smile. She walked off as the man
       flushed a bit seeing eyes staring at him.”you can bathe over
       here yanno! Just keep an eye out for me and I’ll keep an eye out
       for you.” She said before she went down a path.. where the
       purple flowers were- a favorite spot of hers that was untouched
       by the ravagers.
       Ezra followed  granted reluctantly to see his twin put her
       things near the water and the shorts about to come off to sigh.
       He figured it be best when he heard a rustle. He heard Eden’s
       deep sigh to see a ravager already starting shit with the
       peeping.
       “One warning - you leave or you will be strung up in the tree
       for your leader to find you.” Rang her voice out. Clearly the
       ravager didn’t listen as he rushed out. Ezra more disturbed the
       guy was attacking an unarmed woman strong armed the guy before
       Eden grabbed an arm.”help please?” She asked before he watched
       his twin wrap the rope around his ankles and blindfolded the
       knocked out man to go to a trigger spot to let a rock fall as it
       pulled the guy up in the tree as she went back to the water to
       sink in the cold waters.
       Her muscles ached as if she had been working out- but it was
       worth it. She had a feeling their romps would be filled with
       fun.. not just for end.. but her too.>>>
       ^^^
       Her mind fluttered to the night her eyes fluctuated as they were
       trying to feel at the same time.. At one point being present as
       well during the mark.
       “Hey what’s that?” Asked Ezra his eyes falling on the moon on
       her shoulder.”mating mark- most beastkin do that you know.” Said
       Eden. “It’s a good thing.. I’ll be protected always.. and it’s a
       symbol of a promise to each other.” She said.
       “Besides it seems you got plenty of ‘marks yourself.” She teased
       her twin as he flushed.”well I feel really connected thanks.” He
       said as they went quiet.
       It gotten so quiet that the sounds of the ravagers that laid in
       camp could be heard moving about their own day.. and the birds
       chirped.
       Ezra finally broke his silence. “Eden… are…well.. “ he said as
       she finished.
       “Mad? Maybe a long time ago but not now- I realized after master
       jalal found me you were in a position to be unable to know what
       happened or help me..” she told him.”I don’t blame you in the
       least.” She said softly.
       “So.. how did you…” he started his voice failing him in asking
       it as his stomach churned a bit.
       “Survive? Honestly wasn’t easy but Khali’s lessons did help..
       but I learned really quickly to approach others with caution.”
       She said and sunk completely in the water to come up to slick
       her hair back.”the roughest part was the fanatics.. I ah…
       thought had come upon help- it wasn’t fun.. but end helped me
       break free. “ she said as she splashed her face to untie her
       mask as she worked at cleaning her mask a bit, to go to the bank
       and grab a small bar of soap she had made.
       Once she managed to squeeze it out after giving it a good wash,
       to tie it on before looking at Ezra.
       “How.. is dad..” she asked flatly the last word coming out a bit
       more bitterly.
       “Pissed.. he didn’t like how I acted so… ended up on the outpost
       with Khali.” He said.”but I have no regrets I didn’t want to run
       the thing either way- and finding out we were not blood related
       made me question so much..” he said with a sigh.
       >>>>>
       Eden went quiet.”so did you get told what you were?” She asked
       as she saw his head shake.
       Eden went to sigh and was honest.”I found out by master jalal -
       we are terranians.. not fae.. when I hit fourteen when most late
       bloomers got their wings? I realized something was up. “ said
       Eden. “But now that I know what I am.. now I know why I felt
       so.. drawn to tuning.” She admitted. “Those times you thought I
       wasn’t listening? I saw some desert man using such methods.. I
       was daydreaming to do stuff like that.. “ she said.
       “Also cover your eyes if you’re planning on gaining the true
       eye.” She warned.”it can trigger at any age once you decide to
       get more in tune with the elements of the world.. without my
       blindfold it would be overwhelming.. so it’s that and modesty..
       it’s like… exposing my inner self.” She said and blushed.”.. and
       I did that for the second time in my life .. and he accepted..”
       she said with a smile.. feeling able to really talk like this-
       almost get like they never separated.
       The two conversed as they cleaned up, and got dressed. The smell
       of food wafting in the air as breakfast was served out. Ezra was
       giving quite the helping by scar as he chuckled and joked about
       him needing it.
       Eden just got a bit stuffed in the bread to take extra portions
       for the rest of her men to rest it near for them to see when
       they would wake up.
       She ate her portion with a bit of time, seeing skolls feet
       poking out of the tent. She gave a soft smile knowing he went to
       them two.
       The morning progressed as they went to training. While Adan was
       put on rock tuning duty to test his limits, with snow he put by
       the oasis to learn water tuning first to get use to the feeling
       of tuning.
       Skoll he had a feeling he needed to be careful with- after
       finding out the guy could do all all the  elements felt it safer
       to start with sand.  Making him form shapes of things, that he
       told him he had to do.
       >>>>
       ^^^^
       Once he felt he knew he could get the guy to maintain the level
       of control like he did with the blood tuning would he teach him
       others after.
       Eden was with blade learning to tune water from under the ground
       that was met with vitriol words from end and complaints from
       Eden.
       Gin sighed.”it’s not going to go any faster with the complaints”
       said the dragon. Of course end being end replied.”fuck you like
       this is easy!”
       Only for Gin to walk over the sand for his hand to go down.
       End saw nothing at first as the man was quiet as she about ready
       to act smug to suddenly see water collect from his hand.
       “I can now back at it.” She heard to groan.
       His eyes went to blade to see him succeeding granted it was
       hard.
       After what felt like a long morning ended with the group heading
       toward the ruins. Eden and end being quiet and huffy. Being told
       they would be doing that every morning sucked in her mind
       wondering why she needed to tune something she barely uses.
       Her eyes noticed the ruin they were heading too.. as she
       smiled.”hey we are almost there!” She called back to Adan as she
       felt a bit of excitement.
       ——-fin——
       The night with End was more than Skoll had ever expected. Even
       the way she struggled to goade him into taking her harder, the
       sounds she made, the marks of her nails on his body, all of it.
       He managed to pull out just in time to coat the woman in his
       seed before the snuggled up and fell fast asleep.
       When morning rolled around and the calling of birds drew him
       into being away, he realized End was gone. A pout came to his
       lips before turning his head to look at the tent.
       Still stark naked, Skoll opened up the tent to crawl inside and
       lay on top of the two cuddled up men to snuggle them. His feet
       hanging out the opening of the tent as he laid there and nuzzle
       the two awake. "Mmmm Eden gone..." He complained.
       He wouldn't leave the pair alone until they were both away,
       finally leaving the tent and getting dressed before it was time
       to head to the training ground.
       He was quite confused when Gin first started trying to explain
       what he wanted Skoll to do. In fact, it took more time for the
       man to explain the practice than it took for Skoll to figure the
       practice out and get *very* bored.
       He even started lifting sand under the others practicing feet to
       make Adan, Snow, and Eden to look at him before making sweet
       shapes in the sand, though at one point when getting Snow's
       attention the sand scene he made was *quite* explicit and gone
       before Gin could see what Snow was looking at.
       When it was *finally* time to leave for their hunt, Skoll was
       practically bouncing with excitement. When Eden pointed out the
       ruins they were heading to, Skoll took off toward the ruins
       leaving anyone not physically attached to him behind.
       He began to nose around and found several pretty stones and
       began to collect and pocket them. The man had a bit of a rock
       obsession, any den he ever kept always needed up full of pretty
       rocks.
       ---fin--
       Atreus was slower to rise after the incredible and tiring night
       he'd had with Ezra. Finding his lover already gone didn't bother
       him all that much. He dressed and headed to talk with Scar about
       a few things that needed to be done. While there were a few that
       stopped him to ask how his night was, he didn't give an answer
       to any other than Hama and Einar. He wasn't about to open up to
       just anyone about his personal life. It was just how he was,
       highly guarded and often mysterious to anyone other outside of
       my is inner circle of fellows.
       The arrival of Eden and Ezra at the food tent had Atreus
       watching the two closely, smiling a bit at Scar's teasing.
       The rest of his morning and day was spent with Ravager on clan
       matters, much to his annoyance.  When he heard talk of a group
       going to the ruins he decided it was time to snag Ezra back so
       they could have some more time to themselves. After finding his
       mate, he wrapped his arms around the other from behind and
       licked over one of the marks he'd made on the man's neck.
       "Have you had enough time to recover from our last time? Been
       thinking about you all day long," he purred and nibbled on
       Ezra's ear gently.
       ------
       It was rare that Snow slept in, the only times he had in the
       past was when he'd been healing or sick. Both times he'd been
       quite young. This morning however, Snow was far too relaxed and
       comfortable with Adan cuddling in his arms and laid there half
       awake just watching the other sleep. Their first time had been
       quite...intense and amazing. Having the honor of being Adan's
       first male lover had been quite enjoyable. Of course Adan might
       have called it torturous with the amount of foreplay and teasing
       that Snow had done to prepare him.  He'd made him cum quite a
       few times before finally taking the begging man and making love
       to him.
       Skoll's joining them has Snow grinning a bit, but not minding
       having the man join them.
       Adan stirred and groaned a bit, still feeling a bit sore.
       "She'll be back," he mumbled to Skoll. "Probably just getting
       clean. Like I need to,"
       Snow chuckled and leaned in to kiss the side of Adan's head. "I
       think I cleaned you up quite well," he purred earning a groan
       from Adan.
       "Should get Skoll to make a mess of you," Adan grumbled a bit,
       but melted against both men at the attention.
       After a little longer, Snow finally pulled away and helped Adan
       get his clothes and they headed to get some food. Then they were
       off to start training with Gin.
       The dragon seemed a bit miffed at them being late, but got them
       working with concentrating and trying to use their newly
       discovered tuning gifts.
       Despite hearing Eden's frustrations with Gin, Adan was able to
       concentrate enough to get the rocks he was focusing on to move
       ever so slightly.  The sweat pearled up on his forehead from the
       of concentration. He was rather shocked and surprised to feel it
       cool and glanced over at Snow.
       Snow grinned and flicked some cold water at him. "Sweat is
       mostly water," he said with a wink.
       Once the lessons were over Snow was only too happy to follow the
       others towards the ruins. He liked seeing the excited look on
       Adan's face at the prospect of seeing and exploring the place.
       Adan grinned at Eden's excited exclamation.of nearly being
       there. Skoll seemed even more excited, racing off ahead of them
       making Adan chuckle.
       "He's kind of like a big puppy at times," he said thoughtfully.
       They finally got into the runes and Adan was soon distracted by
       the runes and old pictures carved in the cracked and crumbling
       walls. He pulled out a notebook to start taking notes as he
       wandered the ruins. Snow followed him closely, keeping an eye on
       the man.
       ----fin----
       Ezra  was resting a bit as he was taking a long drink of water.
       He felt arms around him to hear the man speak of recovering to
       chuckle.. and groan from the attention. “Can’t get enough hm?..
       “ he teased.
       “Honestly? I wouldn’t mind a really long massage? I think I
       twisted and caught a muscle- some of those movements for water
       isn’t easy.” He said with a sigh.”it looks it but only if your
       limber.. may have you help me in that department” flirted Ezra
       with a soft grin.
       “That’s if you don’t mind.. testing how far I can bend.” He
       teased as he flinched a bit.”mmhmm… shouldn’t have twisted that
       way.” He mumbled.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       What the group didn’t notice, was a trio coming up. Grim was
       still wrapping his head at how End was so attached to the large
       man.
       He had woke that morning to see her half naked state, marked up
       and a hot mess. Getting food allowed him to see a mate mark he
       assumed was a tattoo back then, the teeth marks making that
       clear.
       He managed to convince his lovers to go on a trip to the ruins
       when he saw them moving- saying he had a feeling.. something he
       couldn’t help.
       As he did so a faint story came to mind that end told him.
       *Wanna know how I met Casimir? It’s funny!
       It started when my mates and I were heading toward the ruins..
       course I ran ahead- couldn’t help it…*
       That part wasn’t entirely a lie.. she was ahead.. but with
       Skoll.
       *of course Adan was Adan- he was looking at words and stuff-
       snow was making Gaga eyes at him and keeping an eye..*
       His face went to the two at his distance to take in the
       scenario.
       *everyone was distracted with something, course my dumb ass saw
       something small and furry so I had to go check it out.*
       He saw end slide off her lovers shoulder and seemed distracted
       moving in a spot of the ruins as he heard laughter and the
       younger version of Casimir.
       The man’s figure was not hard to distinguish- granted this one
       was smaller, and not as bulky as the one he knew.
       He felt panic looking around for the *idiot* end spoke of,
       thinking it was skoll but from what he remembered-they wouldn’t
       notice till last second to take off like a shot on the two.
       By the time he got close enough- end was slammed into and a
       scream, and clear sounds of fighting before something would
       begin to crumble his eyes went wide as the ‘not a rock’ end
       spoke of was cracking under their weight it became a chain
       reaction as the ground beneath them started as he saw Skoll
       looking like he was about to murder someone get caught on
       another weak spot that crumbled
       >>>>>
       ^^^
       It was at this moment he realized.
       *I am that idiot.*
       He’d hear a call of stay put by his mates as the trio fell into
       the hole, smacking into what looked sloped and started sliding
       down.
       End and Casimir went in to cat and mouse mode. The red head
       using her size as an advantage. Once she hit solid ground she
       ran for the first opening she could as Casimir landed to chase
       right after.
       Grim being the unlucky one landed face first in the heap of sand
       - to spit up the sand and stumbled up.
       Meanwhile end didn’t make it too far before the guy grabbed a
       strap of her mask making her stop to turn and attack. The man
       didn’t waste time to drop and sweep her feet from under her to
       crawling on top pinning her body underneath his.
       “Not yours.” She seethed as she went for a head butt to only get
       laughed at.
       He pushed aside her top and undid her belt as she realized what
       was happening  to squirmed harder before he stopped. He wondered
       why of all things she stopped when he got the strap of her mask.
       “What are you hiding???” He asked in a sing song voice as he
       grabbed a strap.
       By then grim had gotten to the opening as another part came to
       mind.
       *now see I realized just what was going to happen- Casimir did
       the dumbest thing alive..* she had said as Casimir finished.*I
       pulled the damn thing off and almost died the end*
       Course seeing it come off as end looked shocked that he even did
       that. Casimir seemed to have frozen too as ends mask slipped
       from his hand.
       Casimir was taken in by the red glowing globes.. it was
       something he never expected and blushed almost immediately. His
       hand that held her hands up high slacked.
       End realizing he had let his grip go tuned her sand as it got
       him in the eyes; her belt slid off as she wrapped around and
       grabbed his knife that he often used for back up.
       Grim watched as the knife came down once and twice.. in non
       vital areas as she was screaming at the man for seeing things
       that wasn’t his and touching her.
       >>>
       ^^
       Grim panicked looking around to see her mask to grab it to see
       the blade glide in fashion he recognized to quickly tied her
       eyes up and watched Casimir attempting to blood tune to keep
       himself alive.
       “Listen friends can see your eyes.. I’m from the future- he ends
       up being your friend!” He panick shouted.”end!” He finished as
       she froze at him knowing her name. Once she seemed to back off
       he rushed over to heal Casimir who was gurgling.. making quick
       work and sat back on his ass after as the trio would breathe.
       End clearly coming to.”you know my name- and claim from the
       future- prove it to me one more time.” She said as he thought
       back. He managed to explain her being abandoned and her time
       with the fanatics the first time- something only he and a select
       few know.
       She went quiet and relented.”how are.. we friends… he took it
       off..” she sobbed. Grim sat by the smaller woman. “All I know is
       he has your back in the future and he never pulls it again.” He
       told her.
       “F..fine but it’s going to be a while before I even remotely be
       okay.” She said as her anger still rolled. Casimir was still in
       shock from just about dying to being saved.. to seeing the woman
       cry right after.
       His mind unsure of how to feel. The nagging feeling deep down
       didn’t feel great and didn’t know what that was.
       “Alright so what now?” Asked Casimir.
       End just got up to start moving as grim went to follow. While he
       knew they were told to stay.. most the story had them wandering
       around the place for a while.
       As they walked did he notice depictions of various things.. of
       what looked like a war, and a tree long looking withered and
       twisted…
       Eden who was showing herself by means of her staggering form
       softening.. began to look at the walls.. it felt strange,
       familiar. A red headed woman and a red headed man stood.. a pair
       of twins. She stopped a little to look at the ruins to notice
       some of the markings were like the ones in her book.. but
       nothing like the words seen above.
       .>>>
       *this is the end.. and the beginning…* read a line she managed
       to figure out.. after staring at it for a time
       It was then Casimir spoke up.. the man couldn’t take the quiet
       much finally said as his arms went behind his head.. their talk
       earlier told him the two above were grims mates.. and echoed as
       such only for end to come out and snap. “You don’t get a say..”
       was a first time as they continued to walk and explore.
       Ends head turned slightly at the sight of movement.. she doubted
       herself thinking the shadows were playing with her as they went
       into a large chamber.
       It was strange finding it.. and water this far deep.. end
       stepped on to see how it glowed.. her face observing the walls
       that had writing like her book.. and wonderfully intact as she
       rushed off.
       It wasn’t every day she’d find this.. and even less about
       tuning.>>>>>
       ^^^^
       She knew in time skoll and the others would find her. For now
       she got herself immersed in reading the room and words. Unaware
       of the fact that there were others in the ruins besides
       themselves.
       She moved to look at a spot to almost slip to feel a sturdy arm
       of grim.”watch your step.. last thing you want is worried mates
       over an injury.” Her head tilted at the fact he used the plural.
       But now she knew she’d have more than one.
       “Thank you.” She said feeling more at ease with the beserker
       around. Her head moved to the water as she seemed curious. She
       knelt to peek in its waters.. the walls catching her attention.
       It was a glorious sight.. of a depiction of an oasis with a
       large tree- clearly prosperous and thriving. She leaned enough
       to hit the water causing Casimir to look over. He saw the red
       haired woman sink as grim did the same and joined.. not wanting
       to be left behind. His eyes widened as he followed the
       illustrations.. showing a complete revival as he floated.
       A name… bore at the bottom of the pool- clearly man made…
       While he was unable to read it.. eden about swallowed water for
       him to rush and grab her arm- causing a mild panic to get her up
       as she coughed and breathed.
       Realizing.. he was helping.. made her mind shift.. even just a
       little.
       After a time- they would find yarick, and picking up another
       traveler of the far past with the people of the future- and be
       led back to what was her future that she knew of, where her
       mates.. and a journey she knew now she had to go on- not knowing
       what lurked just behind the shadows. Nor the fate that would be
       riddled with challenges or what would be faced for the tribe
       that would gather and create..a haven.. a peaceful place for
       all…
       All for the word she saw was her name sake.
       ‘Oasis of Eden’
       —-fin—
       While Skoll had been distracted by filling his pockets with
       intrwsting and pretty rocks, when Eden ran off, he couldn't help
       but follow. His eyes went wide in the initial struggle but Skoll
       was about ready to rip the attacker limp from limb.
       Unfortunately for the heavy mountain of a wolfkin, the ruins
       collapsed under him, causing Skoll to take a nasty tumble. He
       groaned when he cane to, trapped under rubble. It was hard to
       breath with the bolders onto of him, but he slowly pulled his
       way out.
       He was pretty slow moving with how brused and battered his body
       was from the fall and being crushed. When he didn't immediately
       see Snow, Adan, or his Eden he let out a sad whimpering howl. A
       hope that Dnow would at least answer back. For all he knew he
       just lost everything all over again.
       ---fin---
       "oh I'll never get tired of getting time with you, my mate," he
       murmured back, his arms squeezing Ezra a bit tighter.
       "Then let me give you a massage then. I bet your tuning lessons
       was tough on you. You'll just need more practice is all, and I
       don't mind helping you get more lumber." He purred into Ezra's
       ear.
       He got a concerned look on his face when Ezra flinched and
       complained about the pain he was feeling. "Perhaps I should
       carry you to our tent then?" He asked.
       -----
       Adan's attention was drawn from the ancient times when the
       ground suddenly began to shake. He let out a startled sound and
       felt Snow grabbing him and pulling him away from the pillars.
       The sound of Eden and Skoll's cries of alarm rang through their
       ears as Adan turned to press into Snow's muscular chest.
       "Someone must have triggered a booby trap or something," Adan
       exclaimed in alarm.
       When the rumbling ended, Adan went to retrieve his fallen
       supplies. The sound of Skoll howling had his head lift to shoot
       a concerned look at Snow.
       "Can you tell where he fell? We should find him and Eden,"
       "Stick close, it's my coming from this direction," Snow replied
       and came up short spying two strangers entering the ruins a few
       feet in front of them.
       His eyes narrowed at the dark skinned elf and the fae who looked
       just as worried as he and Adan felt.
       ^^^^^^
       "The big idiot, always rushing into danger when we tell him not
       to," Bas was complaining when he spied Snow and Adan heading
       towards them.
       "We don't have time to explain, but if you want to find Eden and
       the other, follow us," Bas said and moved to the hole the others
       had disappeared down. Using a levitation spell he lowered
       himself and the others down the entire way before releasing them
       on the stone floor.
       Hearing Skoll let out another howl prompted Snow to answer back
       to let his mate know they were coming.
       Even though Basredun could have seen fine in the dark space he
       knew the others would have problems. He summoned his staff, and
       spoke. "Ssussun," calling forth the light spell to illuminate
       their way.
       Adan gripped Snow's arm hard at the sudden light and seeing the
       magical staff in the dark elf's hand.
       "What...who...are you?" He asked feeling very wary all of a
       sudden.
       "Just a guy who's looking for his mate who's now in danger,
       along with yours," Bas replied softly and then led the way to
       through the underground tunnel and rubble.
       The smell of blood filled his senses and he was suddenly worried
       about who might have been hurt.
       "Let's try and move a bit faster," he suggested, making the
       light a bit brighter so they could see more.
       ----fin----
       The sound of Snow's answering howl back had Skoll taking in a
       shaky, but slightly calmer breath, giving another howl as he
       forced a large piece of rubble off of him, only to cause even
       more to tumble down on top of him, getting a fresh cry out of
       the beastkin.
       ---
       "You would think it wouldn't surprise you by now, only smart
       thing I've seen him do is fall for you," Yarick grumbled before
       his eyes went to Snow and Adan, seeing the lack of familiarity
       in their eyes felt wrong. He said nothing else though as they
       went about going down the hole.
       It was hard to not rush ahead of everyone, but given he couldn't
       see in the dark, ended up walking beside his mate a d watching
       Snow and Adan, at least, he was until he felt the tremor of the
       floor and walls as the sound of more rubble falling filled his
       ears.
       ---fin---
       Ezra accepted Atreaus' offer of a massage, wincing slightly due
       to his aching back. "Alright, if you don't mind," he agreed, his
       cheeks slightly flushed. Before he could fully register what was
       happening, he found himself lifted bridal-style, prompting an
       undignified noise to escape his lips. "Wow, that was quick," he
       chuckled, amused at Atreaus' speed.
