"Not possible those died with the elves." Vincent crossed his arms. "That tells you how old it it doesn't it." Salenne said. Klaus looked at her, everything on her seemed off. "Tell us what you know. Your clearly not from here." He said. "Figured that out on your own." Salenne said. "The sigil on it means it is adaptable, everything you do to it will come back at you." Vincent grunted, Sigurd just stood there with that smile on his face. "That explains why it would go to the Western Forest. It adapts there, anyone goes after it, it has the high ground." Klaus finally sat down. Looking to me for confirmation I shurgged it off. "How am I supposed to know." Klaus amethyst colored eyes searched me out of the corner of them. "Do you know who created it? Where did it come from?" Light blue hair asked. "One of the original familys from Anastasia created it."
"Why would they create such a creature?" Vincent asked. "Why go to such length?" Klaus was massaging his temples, his eyes are closed. He is tried. "To protect what means most." Klaus stopped rubbing his temples, removing his hand from his head resting it on the end table. "What is it protecting?" He asked. "I don't know."
"YES YOU DO!!" Shouting he slammed his hand on the table. "Making demands will get you no where." I told him. "Please, M'Lady if you know something please tell us." Sigurd asked politely. "It won't attack you if you don't attack it." With that Salenne left the office.

Areto sat by the bed. Shivering wrapped up in a blanket he had yet to change clothes. The thread breaking has he wrapped it closer around him. Elias stayed by me, jumping at the slightest sound he told me I'm safe. Yukiya came by his wolf behind him. "The teachers put up lunch downstairs."
"Ok, thanks. I'll be right back ok." Elias left the the room, Yukiya following behind him. With him gone the room felt empty, another cold chill ran over my body. Wrapping the blanket closer, it strained making some of the threads break. I stopped vomiting, my stomach finally empty. Sounds came from the hallway, people talking doors opening and closing. I tried standing up but my legs gave out. Crawling to the bedroom the sounds where louder. It didn't change, the room was the same as before. Beds made, curtains neatly tied together, it's the same as it ever was. Crawling over to his former bed he leaned against it. He brought his knees to his chest and his hands to his face, remembering the motions that Vega did to wipe the tears away. °No matter what happens I will set you free°
'Ooh Vega why did you leave me behind. Why didn't we just run away.'
"Inferno pàle." His fire magic came a long way, concentrating it changed to a person laying his hand. °One day Areto you'll be free°
'When will that day be' He thought. Watching the flame toss and turn in his hand it relaxed him. The world became distant fading away. "Here bud. You need to eat." Startled the flame in my hand went out. "You defense magic is getting better." Putting the sandwich beside me Vincent sat on the other side. "How are you feeling?" He asked. I shurgged my shoulders starring at the food. "You doing better?" I simply nodded picking up the sandwich. Nibbling on it, my stomach turned in a knot. Silence fell over us. I sat there picking at the sandwich, Vincent stared at his hands. "Do you know anything about this?" Breaking the silence Vincent finally spoke up. I shook my head No. Moving to touch me I reflectively moved away. Vincent sighed "You never told me what happened before you came here." Drawing my knees closer, I didn't say anything about it. I couldn't say anything about it. If he found out what I was, what I used to be. Would he still feel the same? Sighing Vincent tried to hold me, I jumped and moved away from him. 'Why am I like this' Areto buried his head on his knees. "Its ok whatever it is, I'll be here. Like I promised." He told me.
The clock struck 8:00pm ringing throughout the boys dorm. "I have to go on patrol, will you be alright?" I nodded. Areto sat there in the dark wondering if he did the right thing.
