(@CatC It's already on, actually. It's the one with the crying dragon holding an egg. The egg is Sapphira.) WATCH OUT!!!! *pushes catc and Keeper towards the others, just a second after that there's only a 5metres crater where Keeper andcatc were. I'm on the side of it, unconscious*

*begins to heal hyozanryu* whoever did this is going to pay. turns into human form, a shorter thinner guy with desert camo and a desert eagle. * portal opens in the space and time. Shadow steps into it and disappears*.

well what are you all waiting for *pulls out the golden ball i found earlier(its a time portal)* lets follow Shadow before he does something stupid. *picks up hyozanryu and stands him up so he wont have his still unconsious face in the dirt* this tempus macina is how Shadow goes from one place in time to the next, he has one just like it. *splits the orb in half and sets the cordnints for where Shadow went* he'll need help where hes going.

*I haul myself to my feet, my jaws clamped together in pain. As I walk/limp towards the others there is a flash of black light around me, and I'm back in my human form. I gasp in pain a drop to my knees, the burns from my wing transfered to my arm in my transformation. There is almost no skin left and it is still smoldering, the entire arms is a rather sickly yellowy/purple/red colour*

OOC: *Awesome! IC: the icey cat looks back at the commotion behind it and telepathically talks to them* yes it is wise to get away from here. His power is growing with every second. This ice will only hold him for so long. Here this will help dull the pain and keep the poison at bay until it is healed. *a cool ice gently covers silveera's injured arm and makes it numb the pain* not to worry it is not a magic healing spell so it shouldn't sting too much at first. I shall stall this creature until you are a safe distance away and then I shall return to you but first you need to leave so that I am not preoccupied with trying to keep him away. Oh and leave my body there it shall be okay. *the cat turns its head back and stands growing larger, to about the size of a tiger and waits as the beast struggles with the ice, its tail flicking back and forth lazily like it is merely watching a mouse*OOC: for you new people catc is a very unusual thing. Not much is known about the dark form, it was sealed away long ago after it became to power hungry and alomst destroyed much of the world. That is why there are two forms light and dark. The dark is still somewhat of a mystery that has much yet to be discovered by even catc herself. I think I shall draw this :p

if ever one will hudle over here we can just go to the past and stop him eatlier in time, and probable save shadow from what ever hehas gotten him self into.

I shall stay here for he may follow you I shall provide the distraction. *darts forward and sends some more ice at his feet and pounce up onto his big feet and hiss.*

you wont have a way to get to us, Shadow and i are the only ones with the power to do so, its been proven. *creates an illusion to distract Shantanaro* that should keep him bussy for a while. *holds the two halfs of the tempus macina closse so they can be closed at a moments notice.*

*recovers slightly* Uhhh. . . Aah that hurts... What happened, why am I feeling so.. burning? Like an inferno in my body.. *faints again*

*Shadow returns again in a blast of blue fire holdind a small dragon.* Here's who's causing the trouble. Oh of course hyozanryu would black out again why havent you guys healed her?

shadow...lol..shadow is the name of thy mate in real life...tehe....*jumps and twirls wings flashing teeth gleeaming*lol

well if you are going back in time then I shall see you in the future or in a bit when you come back. *runs towards Shantanaro to get a bit closer and runs up a nearby tree to get height leverage*

ahh Shadow we were about to come and get you. who's that? *points at the little dragon* and at Tiamal: thats kinda scarry. *puts the tempus macina away* well lets just get somestuff taken care of. and catc that wonnt be nesessary anymore.

@Shadow actually I'm i boy but whatever @Tiamal Welcome!!!! *still unconscious*

(haha nice move Shadow , were all human, we make mistakes....until we become dragons and are purfect!) *heals Hyozanryu* is that better?

a bit, I think..

sorry. and by the way, i can travel through space and time at will, I dont need a tempus macina, anyway this little pest was hanging out 1 second off the schedule of the time and space continum. his name is Jawshaar, and he's been throwing meteors. on the side of his neck is a tatoo Shantarano. *turns into dragon form and puts Jawshaar into cage* ahh that's better* flies to get a closer look at shantaro then fires a blast of ice that freezes shantaro so i can study him. unfortunately the ice is too thick to harm him.then i fly away when blast of white fire hits me and I get knocked out. awakens later and only to find that shantaro is awake and mad. puts Shantaros soul in poke'ball while i fly away.* hey guys, did that rock just move? i'm sure it moved.*finds nezer and immediatly blast black fire on him, turning to him into ice and puts him in my chess case*

um, poké-ball?? Uh, whatever. yeah thinks so, but isn't it the random rock? isn't it supposed to be moving?

yeah nezer, keepers servant demon was behind the rock *flies to get a better look at the landscape and sees a shadow that isnt a shadow.* Shantaro's coming and he's in full shadow form, hide saphira.*turns into human form, this time in armor and a claymore in my hand.

What the...I leave for five seconds and you almost kill everyone, shoot my dragon friend(call him a demon), and start telling everyone what to do like your the boss....I'm taking shappira, Nezer and my abilities back to where I came from *starts walking away in the direction of forbidden lands* sorry all of you for my inconvenience to this quest *glares at Shadow* apparently some people don't like to work as a team. *morphs to klepter form and runs off into the woods as darkness approaches* good luck on you quest *dissapers in to the distance*

I didn't mean it like that, but Shantaro is coming. We cant kill him without saphira and keeper. All in favor of following keeper?

psh geez blow things out of proportion much -.- t'was a much needed twist it was getting a bit dull. Rp's are meant to be full of action, plot twists and TEAMwork in the ideas in order for it to keep going. IC: Hmm random Rock wouldn't be moving around away from the Shadey tree. I'd be wary of it what ever it is. *the spirit cat slowly dims and turns to a fine mist floating above the open area tickling everyones nose and chilling the air, casting rainbows about the place. Then CatC breathes in deeply and opens her eyes fully cawake* What in the world happened? * leaps onto my feet and puffs at Shanatarunto (or whatever the name is its too freaking long XDD) hissing and getting ready to pounce at the big approaching shadow my fur becoming even darker shade of black*

*throws my head back and laughs before walking away*

(Still in human form) Calls out BRISI`GR and the blade of the claymore is covered in blue flame. *immediatly i attack the aproaching shadow* as soon as we hold him off let's go get keeper.

who said theirs no I in TEAM, cause there is if you write it the right way. *just strolling along and i hear Shadow yelling and not really paying any mind to it* well Shappira, this is the end to your first adventure, im gona take you home and train you to the best of my ability in the way of light. *collapse in a heap suddenly and turn brilliantly white. then fades slowly back to normal and gets back up* that was wierd. hey, lets race, Shappira! *dashes off in to the woods deeper while Shappira flys besides me*

I thought i saw keeper and sapphira . keeper just fell over! I could freeze shanty here and we could persuade keeper to help us.*turns into Dragon form* fires ice bolt*

*senses movement behind me. turns around quickly.* whos there!? *turns on my thermal vision to see who it might be* whos there!? i dont see a heat signature, *shrug* oh well.*continues deeper in to the woods*

*shrugs as keeper walks away with sapphira* Suit yourself. I thought we were heading to some person's place and such. I'll just go back to my tree and my rock. *slaunters off into the woods heading back home, but didn't see the shadow reappear and it somsumes me for a split second sort of like a bird had passed over the sun. and then I change back to normal, except my eyes are a dark blue and i turn back around have a slight hesitation* You know we should all go together to that place to see what all Sapphira is powerwise *smiles broadly*

catc are you ok? you said you wanted to go to Shadey tree and random Rock. and why are yours eyes that wierd color

i wonder who that was, i know it wasn't normal, and i know that it was somesort of person. i hope no one else is following me to my home *double crosses my tracks a few times to try to throw them off*

Oh I am quite alright, not to worry ^_^ *looks about* Plus I figured you know, we should stick together and all with Shantarano or whats his face is around, speaking of which I haven't seen him wasn't he following us?

Catc i think that shadow that passed over you was Shantaro. your not acting like yourself.*blast blue fire at catc that flass short a few feet but notices as a shadow emerges from catc and that catc is slightly dazed. spats ice at the shadow and it instantly turns into the shape of a dragon.* at least i got shanty out of you. we have to get to keeper and warn him that Shantaro is coming!

OOC: darn it I was gonna have a plot twist later on perhaps i can still have it IC: right *nods* You go ahead I'll keep him preoccupied for a bit and catch up with you later

*in my house(if you can call it that)* hey sapphira whhat do you want to eat, nezerr, how about you? i've got freshly killed deer, chicken, and rabbit if you want some. *passes out food and begins to eat* i wonder how catc and Shadow are doing, i hope they havent gotten it to trobble. what am i saying, i hope catc dosent get hurt but shadow is a different story. he shouldnt of frozzen you like that, nezerr, and he called you a demon, which was too far. *stares off in to the night* i hope they dont get hurt

*After a few minutes of bandaging my wounded shoulder and arm, I haul myself to my feet. A ring of magic appears in my hand, and with a burst of black fire, Sanguine appears and I sling the double bladed claymore across my back* I agree with Shadow, we need to get to Keeper and Sapphira fast....... *despite CatC's best efforts, nothing she does seems to hold Shantarano's attention, and he takes of after Keeper's trail* .. Make that REALLY fast

crap! *dashes/ sprints after the fleeing Shantarano gaining on him and leaps onto his tail trying to get his attention my claws fully extended and a weird ooze drips a small amount around the wounds my claws make*

*roars in pain as a blast of Shantaro's black fire hits me in the shoulder. * I'm going to get keeper and convince him to help us. be back in a flash.* steps into a portal in space and time* *appearing in front of keeper.* keeper youve got to help us *winces as my shoulder burns* I'm sorry about calling nezer a demon.*blacks out from the pain my shoulder wound. groans in a troubled sleep*

whaa, what are you doing Shadow *dives under his body befor he hits the floor* quick nezerr get some water. *splashes water on Shadow's face trying to wake him up* hold on buddy. *starts to bandage his wounded sholder* why am all of a suden really important? *looks out the window and sees an imense snow storm start up* i hope no one else trys to come, for if they do they'll be drowend by snow. could that be shatanaro's doing? (just to get every one on the same page "Shatanaro" is who we are fighting, i am in my house trying to revive Shadow, catc is clawing up Shatanaro's tail, and Silveera is trying to find my house in a snow storm(good luck). i think that sums it up)

*wakes up* uhh.*looks up to see his best friend keeper.*hey man since when did you live in the himilayas?

*feels at home in the blizzard and leaps off of the stumbling Shantanaro's tail and dashes away to find Silveera since I dislike being alone in unfamiliar territory.*

*I trudge through the ever increasing strength of the blizzard, a cloak lined with thick leorodas (A six legged, four eye cat thing with ram horns and is about the size of a bear) fur rapped about my shoulders, and a scarf pulled over the lower half of my face. Despite all of this, I'm shivering like mad and my steps are slowing.... behind me is a trail of blackish red smears that are quickly being covered by snow*

*stands up and looks around to see Shantaro standing in the middle of the blizard. turns to human form with arctic camo and a cloak that blends in perfectly with my surroundings.*back in a minute* before keeper can say anything, I walk out into the blizzard and am lost from sight, except for a black M-102A1.

*leaps and pounces through the snow, not feeling the biting of the cold since I am an ice type and my fur is twice as thick as a normal animal. I begin searching for Silvvera and call out her name every once in a while and sniff then air. There is a faint scent but it is blurred in the falling snow and wind,*

*hears catc and notices that i havent seen shantaro for a while. as a shadow type I blend into almost any surrounding. sees a trail of blood, and begins following it almost tramples silvierra. notices she's almost unconcious and calls for catc to help him carry her to keepers place. begins to clean sivierras shoulder wound* good thing i brought a medical kit.*notices silveeras face is paler than usual. wonders where hyoranzu is at.

*does not hear shadow and can not be seen or found, and continues to search for Silveera and follows the scent that is becoming stronger and stronger. As it strengthens i pick up my pace and then get into a full sprint and then BAM the world is blacked out and the world is silent* (note i can not be found or 'rescued' )

notices that he's not heard catc for a while and picks silveera up by himself and steps into a portal of space and time. steps into keeper's house and puts silveera into chair by fireplace* hey keeper, can nezer go get catc. I heard her call for silveera but she stopped in mid-word.*notices that he's not heard nor seen Shantaro for a while and that he has the feeling he's being watched but no one else is around but Sapphira, keeper, nezer, and Silveera( who's shivering uncontrolably amd almost unconsious). goes out to fight shantaro, and possibly, look for catc

Agh, Shadow, before you go I Wana ask why are you guys all coming to me at once, I'm not that important, am I? And no I don't think nezerr can go out in this weather. The best thing to do is to try to get a spell to stop this blizzard, don't you think? After we get silveera all patched up we'll go out and try to find catc, but while we fix silveera why don't you tell me why you all decided to come after me and did you have to bring Shanty? no one knows this mountain like me, I don't want anybody to go out unless they have the map or me with them

Dude, I don't do spells, plus, of course your important. why else would Sapphira bond with you.* however, decides that keeper is right and gets out medical kit*

Well why did you All come to get me? And Shappira bonding with me is nothing special, she bonded to the person that was with her the most.

we didn't, as you notice, Hyoranzu aint here, and we have no Idea where catc is. I came here to warn you that shantaro is coming*winces as shoulder, that still hasnt full healed, burns. notices that wound follows him whatever form he is* besides, I don't know about you but I still think its wierd that Shantaro hasnt came out for a while.*

We'll find catc cause no one knows this mountain like me and hyo left after the first fight with shanty. I think that you need to rest that shoulder if you want it Fully heal, come on just sit down and tell me what happened after I left.

hell no. i 'll be fine, and besides the safety of the others is more important than one shoulder wound, anyway, after you left Shantaro, came around and started following you. me , silveera,and cattc held him off as long as possible until I could get away to get you. Catc got possessed by Shantaro until I scared him away. and you know the rest

Ok Shadow we have one member missing and two wounded, three if catc is as well, so just sit down, besides you'll get lost with out me or my map. And if catc fell in one of my traps that I have all over the mountain then she'll be fine, cause they don't hurt just really deep and dark, besides you haven't eaten anything.

*wonders if his best friend is crazy* this is not the time to bring up food, and i ve got so much adrenaline going, i'm not even hungry

That's what adrenaline does to you, makes you think you aren't hungry but you are. Besides Shanty's gone by now.

Ok then why did that shadow just move. Shadows dont move naturally. I know that ther are 3 things in the universe that can do that. Vashna Varada, Th Norweigian Shadow Dragon( of which I am), and Shantaro. Vashna Varade are things that feed on flesh and are literally shadows, and they live in a difffrent galaxy I am one of the last Norwegian Shadows, so that leaves Shantaro* reaches around back and brings out Arwen(which is the name of my sword)*

Oh my god your so paranoid, maybe the shadow moved because it's my shadow or your just seeing things.

though in human form I can use any form of fire or ice[/] fires ice bolt at it and it takes form of a dragon

*manipulates the form so it looks like Shanty, even though it's just a projection* dude I think I forgot to mention that nothing that has a pure dark soul can get In to my house.

do you have a room or something, i think i'm going to* falls asleep as i am mentally and physically drained, plus my shoulder wound don't help

*stirs and is not in one of Kleptors Traps and feels a bit awkward and slightly confused and looks up to see nothing to block my path and knock me out, for it is al baren and not even any trees surround the place where I am. Just like a white void,* The snow must be falling very heavily. I'll just burrow beneath the snow and go to sleep, best thing to do in a storm...

Shadow! *dives under his body for the second time* *makes Shadow float above the floor* nezerr can you pull him to the guest room? *looks out in to the storm and mentally talks to catc* don't worry to much of the situation I know where you are and I'll be along as soon as the storm passes. Sleep nicely

@ keeper: see ya Note: i'll delete this tomorrow

*is haunted by strange dreams and weird visions and the next morning wakes and stretches beneath my little cavern of snow and peacefully and slowly wakes up. Since it is nice to hear some nice good quiet after quite the day yesterday. I notice a dark black spot on my foot pad and try to get it off, but then remember it was from yesterday morning and spilling my ink on my paw before all this happenned, dozes back off for a bit more*

*approaches the trap that catc is in with a ladder in my hand and cautiously looks inside for catc* catc you down there? *slowly drops ladder down in the hole and descends just to be sure* hey catc! Where ya at?

*Alas the dragoncat is not in the trap and is waking up lazily and upon hearing the birds chirping, I decide to pop out and see the morning and upon digging from the two foot of snow I see that the storm has stopped and all is at peace. I hear Kleptor faintly and scurry over to wear he is and look down into the depression in the ground*

awkens to find himself in in kleptors guest room.(still in human form) and tracks a deer for my breakfast, then finds catc and keeper looking down as hole

*looks up and sees catc* hey why ya up there? This hole is a lot warmer. *starts to clime out in to the sun light* so where were you? (btw my name is spelled klepter not kleptor which is my human and wolf/dragon name, full dragon is Greer.)

I am a wise dragoncat and don;t fall for traps Plus if I had fallen in it I could have been seriously hurt in the fall. You'd be suprised how warm a snow cave is. I was no where really I dunno where I was just lets just say a really good napping spot. I heard you and followed it to this spot.

Well let's call that a relief. Shall we convene at my place and get things setted? Shadow! You can come over here, I heard you when you walked up and hid behind that tree. In fact this is the first trap I made, I use it for catching big game after I chase it here.

*I wake up and find myself in a strange house* Oookay..... where the hell am I? *I turn my head to look around, and groan as a dizzy spell washes over me. I grasp my head, and see that my arm and shoulder are bandaged* Someone must have found me after I collapsed..... and I guess this must be Keeper's place *I notice my fur cloak hanging by the fire, stumbling over to it, I reach into a hidden pocket on the inside and pull out a flask of Neon blue liquid*

There sure is a lot of snow out here, and i'm glad i have my cloak. I'm going to check silveera and see how she's doing*in a blast of blue fire, I change into a dragon and fly to keepers house.turns back to human form senses movement and draws Arwen.*Silveera are you awake?

hey Shadow wait up! come on catc lets get back to my place, i sense another storm comming. *startes to walk back to my house (that wasnt that far in the first place)* hey Shadow dont scare silveera, or you'll regret it!

*I nearly drop the flask as I'm startled by Shadow (blood loss makes you jumpy)* Geez..... Yes I'm awake! Who else did you think was going to be in here? *I yel back as I pull out what looks like a fine tip paintbrush, the handle is made from crystal and wood and is stained with the same liquid from the flask. I walk to the front door and push it open* And you're lucky I didn't drop this. Magic in it's liquid form is extremely unstable... Klepter may not have had a house to return to. * I walk to the table, and sit down. Unstopping the flask, I dip the brush in a begin to write runes and sealing symbols on the bandages around my injured arm*

*arm winces in pain and he realizes, from looking at the scar, that it will never heal right. I put away Arwen* so that's a liquid form of magic? Have fun. I stay away from that stuff as much as possible. by the way, how are you feeling?*wonders, if catc wasnt in that trap, what was*

A little tired and light headed.... but that'll pass once my body starts regenerating *I finish writting the seals and puts the stopper back in the flask* which it will now that I've finished sealing Shantanaro's magic.... the spell he hit me with seems to stop the body healing, so as to weaken you... it also weaken's you mental resistance, allowing his mind to work it's way into your's. He is trying to take control of anyone with the tiniest trace of shadow magic in them..... so he can use them to get Sapphira, he knows he's to weak to take us on directly

*scurries after Klepter and Shadow and before stepping over the threshold of the house I shake my fur to get all the snow and ice out of it, some ice shards fly through the air and embed themselves in teh side of the house* Sorry 'bout that Sometimes they catch on the energy and act like little spears

*rushes over to one of the little ice spears* wha! no now the door wont close all the way, unless you get it out. *shakes my head and walks to the lounge* thats not the importance right now. what i want to know is why you all came after me. Shantanaro is weak and gone for now, and last time i was with you, Shadow said that i wasnt needed and he called nezerr a demon and frozze him. i just took that as a goodbye.

1. I never said that YOU werent needed. 2. nezer needed to be put back into his place. he has too high of an ego.And anyway you are our leader, or at least I'D vote for you as leader. Plus we can never win this thing without Sapphira. and with you as her guardian, that makes you even more important. now anyway, where did Shantaro go? he was out there roaring and then he suddenly stopped. and if catc wasnt in that trap that we checked out looking for catc than who was. keeper sensed that there was something in that trap but when i looked there wasnt anything. and that's what scared me the most. what if Shantaro was in there in full shadow form so we couldnt see him he could have appeared to us when we were going away. and anyway, no one has answered the question of what to do with him* points at the caged Jawshaar, the gree dragon i found earlier. Suddenly, i'm on the ground clutchin my wounded shoulder and is then unconsious*

what was nezerr doing that made you have to "put him in his place"? and i think we should throw him in to the everlasting fire. man we mees to get him fixed up...wait silveera didnt you say that shantanaros attacks take over the victim, and if so then we gota use magic to heal him.

O.O awwww I'll take over the care for the little Jasshaar. He looks like a cute little thing :3 Theres no need to kill a creature when he hasn;t done anything to us. As for Shantaro i think he is either biding his time and waiting somewhere outside or healing his wounds before coming back to destroy us. In either case we still need to get Saphira out of here.

what about Shadow's wounds, they need to be healed useing magic right now or he'll be controled by Shanty *quikly senses around my house* and for Shanty, i dont think hes here any more, 'cause i know every little rock crevise and blade of grass around here, he would stand out like a sore thumb. plus as long as we keep the front door shut were safe. *takes "The Mighty Kleptor" off my back and places it on the counter in the kitchen and then rushes off to go get some plants to help with healling.* quikly lets get started. and dont worry about Shappira, shes bussy exsploring the house with nezerr, she wont get in to any trouble.

We can't use magic to heal his wounds. Remember when Hyozanryu tried to heal mine with magic? This spell... curse is more appropriate a name. Feeds off the magic and energy of the victim. Using magic on it makes it work faster. The only way to stop it, is to destroy the caster or get them to reverse it.... which I can't really see old Shanty doing any time soon. Till we wipe him out, the only thing we can do is seal the curse *gestures to the seals written on my bandages* like I did with mine. *I kneel next to shadow and roll him gently onto his side. I unstopper the flask once more, and begin writing the sealing spells on the bandages around his shoulder* It'd be a stronger seal if I wrote it on his skin... but that could make the curse stronger *I finnish writting the seals and roll shadow onto his back* You say Nezerr is with Sapphira?.... *I write a summoning circle on the ground next to me with my own magic, it glows red/black as I place my hand in the centre. The is a brief flash light and Flute appears in the centre of the circle. The silver and blue dragonling is about the size of a medium dog* Flute, go find Nezerr and help him keep an eye on Sapphira *The dragonling trills in accnolagment and swoops out of the room* The more protection Sapphira has, the better.

*awakens ,slightly dazed. Automastically sets off a string of curses, each one in Norweigian so you guys wouldnt understand them.* whatever you guys did to me , thanks but no thanks. you guys know i hate any sort of magi

And I hate Mondays. *I give Shadow a stern look* Unfortunately you'll have to deal with it! We can't risk Shantanaro taking controll of you.

I'll tell nezerr your sending someone so he wont be surprised. Shadow i don't approve of your language in my house, even i don't curse in my own home. any way Shanty isn't around right now, i think we scared him off with our efforts.

whatev, anyway we need a plan. if we can attack shantaro while he's in his weakened state, providing that the seals on my wound holds, we can kill him with the help of Sapphira. but still we need to hurry. every second until a few minutes ago, he's been stealing my strength, but with it suddenly cut off, he'll be in a daze. we need to move now. Note: keepers at my place tonight so don't worry if you see one of us log off

he is in a daze 'cause he probably got into one of my traps, which are magicly poisoned, then he would be magicly poisoned, stabed, and inclosed so ya he'll be stuned alright.

i dunno if he would actually fall for a trap. In any case he would use the trap as a bigger trap for us. I think we should all get some rest while the storm brews outside and get all healed up and energized. We will be no good injured and tired against such a foe. Since I got a good night's rest I'll stand watch outside, plus I think the cold winter air feels good *smiles big shingin my fangs in the firelight, the flames glinting in my turquiose eyes.*

I feel fine. I had a good sleep last night and usually i can stay awake for at least a week without sleep. dont go outside catc , actually i'd like to see you try, the door is sealed with magic, so nothing is getting in or out

oh i bet almost any one will fall for one of my traps, and that's true about the door, its just a safety precautions.

Okay that is fine i shall rest though, as I think we all should since the cold can sap energy pretty quick and I wouldn't underestimate the powers of him i bet he could break anything he had a mind to. *sits by the window and watches the snow falling outside*

*is very restless, and begins to look around the house and finds a large, more-or-less empty room. draws sword and begins to practice. is very bored and continues to wonder if he should just use my time traveling powers to skip this whole mess. after a while, sits by catc and watches the snow fall* I wonder what our next step will be

*walks to the front room and motions for Shadow* can you come here for a little bit? i would like to ask why you went in to my locked room, was it so you can practice?

*doesn't answer Shadow back because I dozed off from watching teh peaceful snow and the heat of the fire. I drem weird dreams with abstract meanings, perhaps visions of the coming battle soon approaching with howling winds and snow a red color all of it red. The sky is a firey orange and smoke filters through the ruby snow*

*start to shake catc gently* hey catc wake up! you almost fell off the window still. you should watch out where you fall a sleep.

*startles awake and almost falls on the floor in full puffage* O.O holy mccheezits .>

hey, you ok, you started shakeing real bad and breathing real heavy like, are you ok? *points at Shadow* go get my ninja equipment, were going out, only us two bring The Mighty Kleptor and Arwin.

yeah I am fine it was just a bad night mare thing or would it be a daymare? lol I am fine now plus you startled me. Wow the snow finally stopped at least the storm has ended, ahhhh the peacfulness the world after a storm, and the ground untouched :3 You sure you don;t need any help?

yes im sure, but im not totaly sure Shadow should accompany me either, 'cause of his wounds and such. you can keep watch of the house in case Shanty comes here while were away. *stats to walk to the back room to get my equiptment on* and by the way, i think Shadow's starting to become fond of you.
