"And Echo, we will start in the morning. Learn from these stones what you can, and if you have questions to ask. I will answer." She responded.

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 1:31 am

"Very well," Echo stated. He bowed in respect. "I will do my best."

**Lunar** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 1:32 am

"How am I suppose to experience life in a moon?" Lunar questioned, doubtfully.

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:05 am

"You will have to do the be you can. And take many risks. No more playing it safe. Lunar. If there is anything you have been hiding. Now would be the best time to tell it. Knowledge id the opposite of the unknown." Khora instructed, settling her gaze on her.

**Lunar** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:12 am

Lunar though about it, searching her mind for anything. She didn't hide much, other than her constant nightmares she always had. One thing kept bugging her though; Erebus. How he had been the one to almost kill Raffiel. She looked at Khora and said quickly, not caring that this had nothing to do with what was going on. "Erebus is the one who tried to kill Raffiel! And you just pushed it aside, like it was nothing! How can you let him stay with us?! For all we know, he could be plotting to kill one of us! Any of us!" She got a bit carried away...

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:15 am

Echo whipped his head around to Lunar and his mouth dropped. He quickly looked back to Khora for an answer.

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:29 am

Khora blinked, staring. "What?" She questioned, her voice quivering. Lunar had just shot her with something she couldn't even imagine. "How can you be so certain?" She demanded, her rage boiling. Khora had started to fall for Erebus, and she felt guilty over it given her relationship to Blaze. But... Something about him attracted her beyong what was right. And now... "How are you certain?"

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:31 am

Echo turned back to Lunar to listen to what she would say.

**Lunar** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:36 am

Lunar narrowed her eyes and said, "Really? You would fall for it being an elk attack? Sense when is Raffiel not having his guard up? Especially if working with a stranger! That's what Erebus is, a stranger! He came here, and we barely knew him! We let him take Raffiel out hunting, alone with him! Then he comes back and says it was from an Elk attack? Those were marks of a wolf! And you know it!" Her tail flicked angrily. "Raffiel is your son! Maybe not by blood, but he sees you as his mom in every way that counts.. And you just... You just refuse to see what is right in front of you."

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:49 am

Khora snarled, rising to her feet. "How DARE you accuse me of such! I love him and you know it! I saw the wounds, and I saw the marks. Erebus even admitted to tearing his scruff when he tried to pull Raffiel to safety!" She towered over Lunar. "And who told you that Erebus attacked Raffiel? Because you were there with me when it happened. No way you could have seen it. Besides Erebus has proved himself a true packmate!" She thought of how he had come to see her after birthing, how he went hunting some nights extra for the pack, how he'd cared for them, and shown that he was a friend... He'd been around more then her own mate!

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:52 am

Echo stepped in now, "Khora, you need to calm down." He took a step towards her. "Khora, I think you should at least listen to her side of the story, see what she knows. Then make your decision about what you truly think happened."

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:54 am

Khora turned to Echo, appalled. But then few a little calmer, he was right about listening. "Fine, Who told you Lunar?" She demanded harshly.

**Lunar** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:59 am

Lunar glared at Khora, then said quietly in disbelief at her mentor's words, "It was Xavier.. Raffiel's dad.. He watched it happen."

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 4:59 am

Echo sat back down to listen.

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:03 am

"And you trusted Xavier?" Khora's eyes grew wide. "You didn't meet Xavier when Raffiel and I did." She shook her head in disbelief. "That wolf is a terrible, lying wolf. Do you know what he said to Raffiel while we were staying with them near the lakes?" The healer asked.

**Lunar** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:06 am

Lunar's eyes saddened and her voice was shaky now with the threat of tears, "Why can't you just believe me?! I'm not some dumb helpless little pup anymore, Khora. It was Erebus, and I shouldn't have to sit here and try to convince you of it."

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:14 am

Khora snarled, "I can't believe you because this is bigger then that Lunar!" She snapped her jaws. "Erebus has become more then a stranger. And while I'll admit I cannot always trust him, nor can I always believe what he's doing is right. But you're making a huge accusation against a member of our pack. I can't just go headlong into this!" Her pelt bristled with rage. "There are things at stake her you just aren't thinking about!"

**Lunar** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:17 am

For the first time, ever, Lunar snarled at her mentor, "At least I'm not cheating on my mate to be with a murder!" She turned away and quickly ran off, tears burning the edges of her eyes.

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:20 am

Echo watched his friend run off. He turned to Khora and said, "You say that you can't go headlong into this however it sounds as if this has been an issue for a while. You should have had time to do some background on him and watch his behaviors by now. With this said, can you honestly say you trust Erebus, not only with you and your life, but with the lives of others?"

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:22 am

All her rage vanished, Khora stared at where Lunar had been. "...What?" She murmured after in disbelief. Then a fury swept her, and she snarled with anger after Lunar. "Is it cheating when a mate abandons you!?" She looked at Echo and then snarled at him even. "You know nothing of our pack and what has happened. I don't want to hear you judge me and my decisions!"

Erebus blinked, he couldn't believe all that had happened. Some dark prophecy, and now this. Lunar was vulnerable, and Khora was in love with him. If it wasn't for his wounds and his feelings that this Unknown really would need Lunar to be defeated he wound chase after her and kill her. But he remained under the sand, stunned.

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:26 am

It was Echo's turn to get angry. "You know Khora, I may not know the history of this pack very well, however what I do know is that LUNAR would NEVER lie to you EVER! She is one of the most honest wolves you have in your entire pack and you just shot her down saying that her information was faulty and couldn't be trusted!!!" Echo stood there fuming.

**Lunar** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:28 am

Lunar disappeared off into the dunes of sand, searching until she found a dead Bush to curl up under. She didn't know this place very well, nor how to get away from others in such an open place. A bird took flight from near by, making her jump, startled. Lunar watched it fly off, then curled up under the old dead bush and let the tears escape her eyes..

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:30 am

Khora opened her fangs,a low snarl emitting outwards, as if she was ready to attack him. Then she turned and left, loosing herself to the desert. She went right over Erebus, but didn't notice the wolf in hiding.

Echo Dreamer on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:35 am

Echo stalked after Khora and then started running, also going over Erebus without noticing him. He ran in front of Khora and stopped. "Are you even listening to what I am saying to you?!?" he said trying to get through to her. "You just told the most HONEST wolf you know that SHE was LYING! And all for what, Erebus?!? Is he really worth more to you than one whom you love with all your heart?!?"

**HiddenFaith** on Sun Oct 21, 2012 5:45 am

Khora snarled, opening her mouth wide. "I'm not saying she's lying! I'm saying that she's been given false information! Xavier lies, he always lies!" She growled out. "And you don't even know Erebus. You haven't seen just how good and kind he can be. And unlike my real mate, he is actually here. He doesn't dissapear for moons and then reappear expecting everything to be all fine and dandy. He didn't come to see me give birth to our pups! How do I know he's not out flouncing about with some female!"
