Neyrii shrunk back against a rocky wall, leaning against it with her left side. She backed up a little bit more and found herself climbing up the cliff. When she got to the top she grew her wings and flew near the castle. Landing, Neyrii looked around innocently. The best thing that would happen by then would at least be Demesne, a guard (which she would kill), or... She didn't know. She saw Turnip cantering around madly, and Neyrii ran and calmed him. "What am I going to do with you?" She stroked his mane, hoping she wouldn't keep up this habit. "I don't know." She looked up at Turnip. She looked into his big eyes, and smiled. "Atleast I have you on my side..." She eyed the forest she came from. She stood by the castle for a while sketching things on her paper, having to draw for atleast all day, because Volkenagrim ruined all of the ones she already made.

Volkenagrim was shaking inside the mountain cave. He was cold. The pulse was even stronger. "Neryii.... Please come here to me... I can't come to you.. The Pulse that makes me keep following you is trying to urge me to move... I can't do it! But once you are here... I'll tell you the weakest point of Maleck..." He told Neryii through telepathy. Pain was filling his words as he spoke to her. He then passed out from the pain he was going through.

Neyrii looked up from her paper, feeling bad for Volkenagrim.

(going back to her thief name.. O_o) Ayren smiled through the darkness of her hood. A merchant was walking by. She stuck out her hand and snatched a sack of coins dangling from his belt. Ayren darted away and took a sharp left into the dark alley. She leaned against the brick wall and opened the bag. 200 coins. Not alot. Ayren clenched her fists around the neck of the sack. She sighed and snapped her head towards the people passing by. No one noticed her, yet. Ayren jumped up onto the roof of a cottage and crouched down. One hand held her down, the other was protectively on the sack. She scanned the town, carefully |

Neyrii heard a man screaming, "Theif! Theif! A theif stole my gold!" She flicked her head upward, where she unsurprisedly found Ayren. "Of course..." She took a dagger from her belt, holding the tip of the blade with a finger, and threw it at Ayren making a spinning whirl.

Volkenagrim was unconscious and utterly helpless. An intruder was in the cave. The Intruder was coming close. A powerful Pulse was then surged more powerful than ever. It was even felt by Neryii. A warning to her from Volkenagrim. It felt like a dagger had been stabbed into her when it was Volkenagrim being stabbed. A yell of agony could be heard from him all the wat to Neryii. "Neryii! Help me.... An Intruder is here trying to kill me! I'm too weak from hunger and the pulse is too strong... Nekoryu is about to force itself out of me.... Please come, forget about your sister. Let her live her life in peace! Don't be cruel to her or you can't be my Soul Tamer.... She will be the one!" He warned her through telepathy also pleading for help.

Neyrii sighed, raising her hand the blade flew back into it. She pulled her hood over her head and ran to where Volkenagrim. Pulling off her hood, she seemed confused. "Well, what am I supposed to be seeing?" All she saw was Volkenagrim sitting there, but she heard a loud noise and spun around.

The Intruder had began to retreat. Volkenagrim was bleeding badly on his shoulder. He was ghostly pale. He was laying down and in his blood. The Warrior snarled and tried to move but couldn't. "Neryii.... Please find a way to stop the bleeding... Hurry..." he told her weakly through telepathy. The pulse shifted inside him again. "Gaanngg!" he said stifling a yell of pain. "I'm sorry... for everything..." he sighed out. He'd just regain consciousness and was too weak to move. The pulses source then appeared to be a Red Orb located in his chest, near his heart. It made a powerful heartbeat-like movement. He winced when it did this. "That Orb... I thought it was forced out of me... Years ago..." He coughed out loud. "That Orb hold most of my power. An old warlock took out most my powers and sealed them in the Orb. He must've returned it to me when I was asleep. He must've also cast a spell to reveal who could be my Soul Tamer..." He added to Neryii. Volkenagrim then looked at Neryii. "Neryii, why don't you eat? You need to to live don't you?" He asked remembering what she said that day when she caught the moose for him to eat. He then remembered he still had some left. He groaned realizing he was still too weak to move. "Neryii, could you please hand me my bag... It has some of the food I need now...." He told her. Each time he spoke a feeling of emotionlessnes and Darkness seemed to have escaped from him.

Ayren was silently pleased with herself. Annoying the Princess so much, she came out to kill her. Wasnt that nice? A Dagger was spinning towards Ayren and She smiled. She was just about to reach out and pluck it from the air when it retreated. Frowning, Ayren hopped to a different roof. It must have been something. Ayren shrugged and jumped down, reaching out to grab another bag

Neyrii wrapped Volkenagrim in cloth, sopping up the blood. She tossed him his bag. "I do not eat because I do not live." She looked at Volkenagrim with steaming blue eyes. "I do not live because I do not love. I had run away many times to escape my fate that becomes history a month from now. Even now I am hiding from suitors..." She gave an angry glare to a shadow a couple acres away.

"Why do you not love?" Volkenagrim asked her. He then saw the same thing she saw. He close his eyes and sighed. "But you can feel Love... I can feel nothing other than pure Rage and sheer Pain... No Love or anything else...." He snarled. "Even now my anger is trying to force me to tear you apart but I'm too weak. And something else is keeping me from doing so. Like you are the one to Tame my Inner Darkness. And so free me of this Curse of Emotionlessnes." He then closed his eyes and winced as he was wrapped in cloth. He then reached out his hand for the bag. "Help me sit up please... You'll find despite my build... I'm quite light..." He asked of her.

Neyrii held his arm and pulled him up. Even though she was so thin, she was pretty strong. "People are greedy around here. I am the princess, and I am supposed to marry a complete stranger that only wants gold and fame. That is why I do not Love..." She dropped her head. "Hesphreit..."

Volkenagrim nodded to her. He was able to sit up thanks to her. "Thanks.... But not all strangers want Fame and Gold. One of your Suitors was a truly good man... He was my Son. All he want's like you is someone to love that doesn't expect anything of them. Other than love. But he died a year after that. He gave his life to protect you on one of you wanderings." He explained to her. Then he bit into a piece of moose jerky. He then chewed it and swallowed it down. He then took another bite and chewed it down. Then he sighed. "Neryii... Don't kill yourself over something so stupid.... Eat... and try to test all suitors from now on. Those that refuse to run after everything is said and done, with a glow in their eyes, they are the ones who love you for you. Not for you being a princess..." He told her. "My son I know was such a suitor. But he ran only because you kept breaking his heart. He thought for once someone wouldn't think of him as a monster for being part Demon.... His name was Mordikai..." He told her. Then he handed her some moose meat and laid it there in her hands. "And if you want to defeat Maleck, you'll need to eat. Your powers have become much weaker since you started starving yourself...." He explained to her.

Neyrii shook her head. "No really, I do not live... My parents were famous for making magic dolls." In an instant, she froze and went limp like a ragdoll. Small lines could be seen on the corners of her mouth, and there were nails in her elbows and knees. She looked like a marionette.

Volkenagrim nodded. "But do you wish to live? You know be fully Alive?" He asked her. He then stroked her hair. "You hair is alive, you feel emotions, all kinds of life already make you alive... Magic Dolls aren't like this unless they are meant to carry on a Living Being. You were meant to become a human with great and wonderful powers... I believe it." He told her. Then he chomped down on some sweet honey-glazed fried apples. The sweetness helped him gain strength. He sighed and began to eat all the deserty foods. Then he moved to the moose again. He was almost ready to hunt. "Neryii? Want to hunt with me after I finish eating?"

Neyrii glowed as a ragdoll, her eyes shut closed. "I do not wish to live. And I do not have real feelings. My inner core is controlled by the king and queen, forcing me to do what they want. I have no feelings, sadly, not even for Turnip."

Volkenagrim choked on a piece of moose. He coughed and sighed after he was done coughing. "Then I'm doomed... A Living Soul Tamer must be the one. I can't have someone like you. But there must be something real to you... Or the Orb of power in mine wouldn't try to keep us close..." He told her. Then he looked down. "And after a shred of hope was being somewhat felt..." He then looked at Neryii. "I know you don't wish to live... But please give life a chance. It's not terrible as you think. Please..." He pleaded with her.

Neyrii flinched when Volkenagrim choked. "I am not saying it is horrible. I lived once... As a dog. I loved that more than being a fake being. But, face it... I cannot stop Maeleck or what ever it is." She reached forward with bolted fingers, placing her hand on Volkenagrim. "I am sorry. But it simply can not be done." She opened her eyes, bearing them straight into his soul.
