Yes, it was very unfortunate... for this world... that the Enchantress should appear at this very moment... All who saw knew what her intentions were...Was it death? No one could be certain, but they were not pure... it was certain.

Kitana sat up, her body drenched with sweat. She clutched to her covers, she had had a nightmare. And this one was unlike any other. It was a premonition. And what had scared her most, is that in her premonition... Mitsukai was dead. Kitana drew the blankets from her body and quickly rose to awaken Akuhei.

Akuhei was standing on a large hilltop, covered in maieze flowers. The flowers were like any other... an endangered flower to her homeland. It's star shaped aqua pattern brought life and beauty to the deep landscapes of her lost hometown. The hometown that was burned by elf folk for prosecuting one of their kin. Akuhei bent down to pick a large Maieze, its bright pink stems shimmering in the light, reflecting the happiness Akuhei once had in her childhood. Akuhei smiled gently to herself..." Wake up..." Akuhei's smile faded, " I am awake..." She whispered to herself.
" Akuhei, wake up! It's Mitsukai! " The voice echoed within the deep valley, and Akuhei refused to wake to it.
" Akuhei, NOW!"

Akuhei fell of her bed in a tangle of covers, her blue satin nightgown was twisted around her waist revealing her theighs and calves. She looked up to see Kitana standing, fully dress in her surmon gown and furs. Akuhei groaned, pulling herself up from the ground. Falling from the bed would surely leave bruises and markings.
" Such a nice dream too, do you always have to wake me..." Akuhei's short temper was interupted by Kitana's shortness.
" Shush, Akuhei. I have to tell you something." Kitana sat Akuhei gently down on the bed. Akuhei shifted uneasily.
" King Taru's palace has fallen...When the Enchanter entered our rhealm, it crushed his empire...and Mitsukai along with it..."

Kitana's hands shivered within Akuhei's. Akuhei managed a smile from the corner of her lips, " At least the King is dead right?" Tears filled her eyes as the words came out of her mouth, then without thinking, she lunged forward, helplessly. Kitana grabbed her in a hug, and the two cried over their friend's death.
" I'm sorry... if I would have known she would..." Kitana cried.
Akuhei shook her head..." It couldn't have been helped..."
Moments seemed to drag on, but none could be replaced for the sister they had lost...
" She was our youngest...and wisest...she.." Kitana let go and wipped her eyes.
" I'll be weak today, this information is not an option however, tomorrow we will heal for her sake and destroy the sorceress."

Akuhei stood, frowning... She was holding back her emotions, she had too. She had lost two close people in one night... and she had to be resilient, for her leader's sake.
"You speak the truth." Kitana shook her head. "I can't beleive this..." Kitana mustered out after sighing completely.
" No one to sing in the morning to wake us up." Akuhei slumped in her position, her head hanging low. " And no one to paint on the trees for fun...asking us to join her on the hilltop just to dance." Kitana chipped in.
" The small spirit of Tuomoqe, Kick was even fond of her..." Akuhei's voice fell.
It was then the two had realized she was really gone... and took for granted the friendships and loves they had... but now, it would be avenged... life was so short, too short for that matter. And no matter what it took..
" She will pay..." Akuhei's eyes darkened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first Goddess ran her fingers through her long blonde hair and shook her head relentlessly, Kitana, my sweet darling Farren. If you knew that your powers could see life, and not feel life... you would know that Mitsukai's body is indeed dead, for she is paralyzed, but her soul and spirit live.. She is alive.. but for now, you shall beleive she is dead... for now... it is better this way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mitsukai shifted, of what she could. Her body was slowly numbing. Her face being the only live part of her. She gasped for air as the unknown creature neared her. It was nearing fast, it steps widening with each step.

Mitsukai closed her eyes shut.

" Doe Tuck! " A female voice slurred in an ancient tongue.
" Nebai Tuck!" A male's voice replied.

Mitsukai could hear footsteps surround the tree, walking steadily around in circles. Her breath grew short, but she dared not open her eyes.

" Kiack mus te tuck. Doe Tuck! " The female said slower, Mitsukai could feel the breath of the speaker infront of her now.

" Stay back! " Mitsukai's eyes flared open and she leaned her head back against the tree to see a tall woman with short silvery blue hair and deep, dark blue eyes grinning back at her.

" Kiack! Doe Tuck es Grind! " The woman pointed her finger at Mitsukai. She wore a small top that flared out above her collor bone and just above her belly button, reflecting a light silver color. She wore a small skirt under a flare of lace that jutted out like ribbons and wore high boots to her theighs, the color of deep sea water.

Her hair was just above her chin, shuffling back and forth as she moved. Her features were gorgeous, Large innocent eyes with a button-pointed nose between deep cheekbones. And...Elf Ears! She was of the Elfin Kin!

" Doe Tuck es Grind KIACK! " The Elf began to smile as another Elf neared her from behind the tree. Mitsukai could not see him.

She felt a small prick against her neck, and everything went black besides the voices in her head.
" Doe....Grind...."
" Es Mowen Hogosha. "
" Doe...Grind? Mack Grind???" " Et Mack es Grind Hogosha..."
" Wut de lien cen et mack et doe?"
" Lien tuk et mack et doe tu lien citek."
....so familiar... Mitsukai's head swarmed with darknes...
...Doe...female.... Mack??? Male. Grind? Alive....
...Doe Tuck es Grind Kiack, the female is alive, Kiack.
...Doe....Grind.... , female, alive
...Es Mowen Hogosha, I know Hogosha
...Doe...Grind? Mack Grind??? The Female alive? The male alive???
...Et Mack es Grind Hogosha... , The male is alive Hogosha
This language was ancient... And Mitsukai understood it.
...Wut de lien cen et mack et doe?
...Lien tuk et mack et doe tu lien citek.
...What do we do with the male and female?
...We take the male and female to our city...
Perhaps in a life before... or a time before all of this... Mitsukai's head swarmed with the ancient language..

Before all of this began...Before she joined Tuomoqe...
