"Was it necessary, father? Did you need to keep me in the dark, closed off from the world like I was....so estranged from even my own kin?" Sorianna feels the sadness creeping back into her. "I've misjudged the man you seem to trust...but I cannot forgive him...I just can't."

[Thugren]

Predator puffs up and screeches, as if admonishing a child.

"WHat did i teach you about our path sorianna!"

He glares at you.

"You judge a man for killing a monster....Yet you accept my presence? Do you know how many lives ive ended? do you even know how many lives ive snuffed out for the sake of a future? One can only be a guardian for so long before he becomes the wolf in the knight sorianna."

His wings beat in annoyance.

"As for your ostricisation...THere is much you do not know child...Much that was asked for me to keep from you."

[Lafayra Rue]

Shame creeps quickly onto Sorianna's face and she bows her head. "'I'm...I'm sorry father. The path is quiet for me....and I've slowly been falling from it...the night you died...I did something I did not know I could do...and it felt liberating."

She looks up to lock gazes with Predator. "I do know better but my anger seems to sway me completely at times and the need to hurt has become hard to control..." She frowns at his last words. "Who asked you to keep what from me?"

[Thugren]

The owl fixes his ruffled feathers.

"You do know...You are not Of this generation...You never where....You Are the child forged to us by freya herself.."

the owl looks at the night sky.

"Many years ago, my mother forged to me a child...Independent of any womb..You where meant to be a way for us to bridge the gap with humans..Something to help us assist in the fight with the undead. "

He hops onto a pillow easily.

"But your gift...That sanguimancy...Is a much more....Insidious gift.."

[Lafayra Rue]

Sorianna nearly chokes on the piece of squirrel she had just eaten. Coughing it back up she stands and turn to the smaller owl, her face pure shock. The information processes to her slowly.

"What do you mean...a bridge...and the undead...and my gift...I don't....I don't understand...Are you saying I'm not really your child?"

[Thugren]

He looks at you.

"DO you listenm when i speak or do you ignore it."

He pecks you head on the forehead.

"you where made by my mother using my genes...You are The purest daughter of mine."

He sits back on the table and his neck feather ruffle.

"The gift of sanguimancy....Was a trick ..A mutation that My mothers brother..Damion...Master of the black swarm put into you.. He had hoped that we would kill you because of the mutation..We did our best to repress that urge in you...To make you walk down a path of control."

[Lafayra Rue]

Sorianna moves the plate to the middle of the table, letting her head fall heavily onto it. She groans in obvious frustration. She thinks quietly for a moment. "I'm falling father, I can feel it. I don't know if I can control this on my own."

She looks up at Predator. "I'm sorry father, you know I listen, but I've always been frustrating for you to teach. Can you guide me now? I need help..and I'm not sure what to do."

[Thugren]

he hops up onto your head .

"I will guide you......You wont fall small one....he ruffles your freathers a bit*

"Krieg is here yes? "

he asks, looking at you.

"If he is...we need to take you to go see Lorana now.."

[Lafayra Rue]

Sorianna smiles at the preening, feeling comfort at the familiar gesture. "Yes father Kreig is here. Hes just down the hall." She walks to the door and steps out into the hallway. "Who is Lorana?"

[Thugren]

he perches cutely on your head.

"Another sanguimancer......The one that mother used to help her make some of the omniarchs."

[Lafayra Rue]

Sorianna nods carefully. "I see." She reaches Kreig's door and knocks.

[Thugren]

He comes out, and you ehrar a grunt.

As you look into the room you see that he has two long blades sitting beside his bed.

"oh...hi predator.."

he says casually as he whies his eyes.

"whats up ...Whyd you wake me up at this unholy hour>"

[Lafayra Rue]

"Unholy hour? Its night. This is normal for an owl." She looks at Kreig. "Father was asking if you were here."

[Thugren]

*Krieg sighs, motioning you inside and closing the dfoor behind you.

"It is good to see you old friend....Its nice to see you survived the fusion with argonaught."

Krieg nods putting a pot of cofeee onto the boil.

"im asalive thats all that matters aye?"

the small owl hops onto the table and points at you with a wing.

"I want her to talk to lorana."

krieg looks at you for a long moment, sizing you up.

"i ccan get her into the prison....but do you think shell survive it?"

predator nods.

"Shell survive it without fail....or ill mock her eternally ...Either way she needs to see her."

kriegf sighs.

"Im going to need to break into a prison with you....Your going to need to hold your own can you do it?"

"

[Lafayra Rue]

Sorianna stands taller. "Yes. I trust my abilities. I may need a few more hours to settle my mind if its possible." Her wings twitch slightly. "Why is Lorana in prison?"

[Thugren]

Krieg grabs a bottle from his night stand and takes a long drag.

" she was considered an a clas threat. We ha to lick her up when she killed a group of soldiers that were sent to do a welfare check an get her to come to her compliance hearing."

[Lafayra Rue]

Surprise runs across Sorianna's face. She opens her beak, then shuts it as she realizes that she can't find a question to ask Kreig. She turns to Predator with a slight frown. "Could that happen to me if I lose control or is it that she has a bad temper?" She watches Kreig drink from the bottle again, frowning a little more.

[Thugren]

Predator laughs.


"relax child....SHe grew angry with the world, it had nothing to do with control."

krieg sips at his drink.

"I cant waltz in....Theyll know its me..YOull haver to get caught by the enfoprcers, or well have to sneak in..Either way is going to suck

[Lafayra Rue]

Sorianna thinks for a moment. "I've never been good at subversion or subtleness so I think I'll take getting caught rather than sneaking in. How do I make sure that I'll be taken to Lorana though?"

[Thugren]

Krieg sighs.

"ill call the enforcers....Kill as many as you can."

predator ffles his wings in nervousness.


"Who will get herout?"

Krieg smirks.putyting down the flask.

"we can always go with another option.."

he points to the varghen opf the town.

"we stir them to riot....When the peacekeepers come we kill them and get our way into the prison."
