Silviana took a deep breath.  "Go." was all she said.  Her stiff posture remained.  The flashbacks of Jurips death rang in her mind.  "It is time to forget the past.  And look to the future." for the first time in many years, she smiled...her eyes lit up.  She stood on her feet and nodded her head towards the runaways.

The trackers released their victums and looked at Silviana.  Some clenched their jaw and looked away.  However many, took several steps foward to come to the base of the stone in which Silviana sat.

Sari jumped off the runaway she attacked and helped her to her feet.

Tre nodded and smiled through the blood.  He looked to the sky.  "The past is forgotton." he whispered.  But his eyes were clenched shut.  Could the past be forgotton?

Silviana was silent, she knew nothing could replace the generations of bloodshed... but more death would not heal.  Tension would still be alive between tracker and runaway... nothing could replace the lives lost. 

Zir looked at his feet.  "Thats it?" he questioned, anger rising in the pit of his stomach.

Shin simply stared towards the sky, "They'll be dead by sunrise." he stated expressionlessly, coming up to Silviana's side.  "why?" he questioned not meeting her gaze... 

Yuni looked at Zir.  "Thats it.  The runaway pack's stupidity will be their own downfall.  Dusk will kill them.  She auctioned their lives once.  Silviana was their true savior." he looked at the sky.  Admiration in his eyes.  His alpha was wise... he would be proud to follow her to the death.  She knew....she simply knew.

Zir forced a smile.  Dispite his anger he knew as well.  The savior.  Of them all.  Suddenly his eyes glazed over in surprise.  "Wait.  what happened to the runaway land?" he asked.

Yuni's eyes snapped up...  "The dead.  lay everywhere." he said, the two looked to each other, racing towards Sari.  "Sari... the runaways have been slaughtered on their land for generations...  won't the...." he gulped.  "remains be in the homeland?"  he looked at his feet...so that is what Shin meant.  The runaways would be driven to insanity by the falling of their own families

((Yep, Dusk is bad again. Thanks sooooo much Yuni and Elamant...))

Dusk lifted her head. this time, there would be no mistake. They wouldn't do what they did last time. Now was a time for her to rebuild the families that had been lost. The land around her was barren and the good deeds she ahd done had given her sight back. She sighed and covered the earth with water, the sunlight power that another one of her wolve shad, gave the land new growth. Her earth helper, rose the earth and she carved it out to make dens. She made the dried up river have water again. Life was good...

((hey the trackers still have grudges... and dusk's actions wont be forgotton so easily.))

((woah...guys what the heck, the runaways dont have their own land.  the trackers and runaways shared their land...but the trackers took control.  The runaways freedom was on uncharted land across the sea and all that crud...))

Silviana turned her gaze to Shin.  "I guess you dont know everything about me as you believed." she stated in an expressionless manner, not glancing at the wolves behind her.

Tre choked but looked at the runaways... he lowered his head in disgust.  "You spared them." he stated, not trying to hide the disappointment in his voice.

Sari overlooked the battlefield... so many dead.  So many lives lost.  She took a deep breath.  The packs were greatly lowered... she turned and saw several runaways standing behind her, she turned...Grace was amoung them.

Grace took a deep breath... she turned and looked up at Silviana  "We thought we were home." she said in a quiet whisper.  She turned back to Sari, her eyes welded with tears.  "Im so sorry." she whispered.

Sari looked at Silviana but ran to Grace's side nudging her gently.  "You are forgiven." she whispered.

Tre stood on the rock, limping down to meet his sister's eyes.  Their first peaceful moment in years.  Grace lowered her head, her blue eyes toward the ground in defeat.  Tre perked his ears and looked at his sister.  He shook his head.  The two were simply staring.

Silviana watched.  She was silent.  Her stiff muscles made her appear like a part of the rock.  Her eyes had their usual dark green coldness to them.  The smile faded from her face.  The wind brought the aroma of death into her nose.  She stood stiff still, her eyes transfixed on all the wolves below.
