Cole's p.o.v

Bella is finally asleep. It takes an hour for her to fall asleep. She's a mama's girl. In the short time she had with Kai, Bella has created a bond that is deeper than normal with a mother and baby.

I move some of her hair out the way, I lay in mine isn't Kai's bed, it's the only way she'll fall asleep. She's wrapped in Kai's blanket, a peaceful expression on her face. It's been a month and still no sign nor word from Kai. Kai, where ever you are, please come back safe.

Kai's p.o.v

Wrapping Venus' arm, I pack the med kit we snagged from Raphael, the new leader of flyers. The warm summer air has my going through changes.

What kind, apparently, a flyers wings go through a phase of molting. My wings are completely bare, just skin. But, Celi says that they should regain feathers in about a week. Footsteps come running, Copper and Nala run in. "We got to leave, now." Copper said.

We pack up, Natasha and Jewels stay by me. Arrows wizz past, Gerald firing them. I yell as five sink into my wings, almost colaping from the pain.

We find a path, but, it suddenly drops. I slide, wings getting covered in mud and bursting out, I roll, slamming into rock. I hand on my shoulder has me looking at a girl, wings bare like mine. Getting up, Venus runs over, the girl hissing. "Step away, telepath..."

"Enough, I don't care if your a flyer. If you've been rised to believe they are the enemy. Look at us, yes we're different but, it's what's on the inside that counts." I say.

"What would you know. We've been on the run for most of our lives. You show up, having a pampered life...." I snap, moving faster then he can think and I have hem pinned to the wall.

"Don't. Don't act like you've known hardship. I was taken minutes after my mother had me. She was knocked out and left somewhere while I spent sixteen years as a slave. My husband of nine months and brothers-in-arms liberated the camp."

"I would be beatened, wripped, burned, cut and raped two to three times a day. I knew nothing of love and hope till my beloved rescued me and showed me the way. I left my husband and newborn to come here, so don't think you had it hard. You didn't. I lived in hell." I say, letting hem go.

"My mommy left me for dead. I was only two years old. A pack of wolves found me and rised me. I'm Milly, daughter of Gardena." A little girl no more than six says.

I go over, pulling her to me, she nuzzles into my legs. "I'm Jackel. Son of Tabious.

"Conner. Nickalie."

"Heather. Daughter of Zucora."

"Orion, ironically I'm named after my ancestor."

"And I'm Helius, son of Bastian."

All introduce themselves. We do the same and a bond is forged. Later, in my bedding, I feel a tap on my shoulder. Rolling over, Milly is there. She has tears in her eyes. Opening my wing, she curls in, nuzzling into my chest.

I'm almost back asleep when Milly taps my chin. Looking at her, she wants to ask something. "What is it, child." I ask.

"Can...can you be mama." My heart breaks at the question. So little to anyone else, but it's the biggest thing for Milly. I pull her to me, she purrs with happiness.

"I have a mama now." She says. I smile, wrapping my wings around her. "Yes, I'll be mama, my little Milly." I say, aware of the looks we receive.

For the next three weeks, our bond forges deeper and stronger. Right now, I'm teaching Milly to fly. On the ledges in the cave, I glide from one. Touching down, I look back. Milly is flapping her wings, she than angles and comes right at me. She flies right into my arms.

"I did it, mama. I did it." She says. "I'm so proud of you. Now, let's join the others for dinner." I say. We fly down, Milly skids on her landing but other wise sticks it.

We continue like this for the next couple of months. Going deep into the mountains in search of the first temple. Hopefully, to seek the answers we need.

Coming to a cavern, it's not natural. "This cavern was made." Orion says. Heather than pops a flair. We see the temple. Milly on my back, she baries her head in my hair. A spear comes at me, I douge, skidding. "Who goes there." A male voice calls out.

The voice echos so it's hard to pinpoint. "My name is Kai Zodiac Brickstone. Grand-son to Fowline of the twelve. We seek answers to help restore the order back to the Zodiac family." I say.

The voice is silent than "it's been a long time since anyone has been here. I figured it be a great place to hide." The voice comes from infront. Armour clanks, footsteps clicking. A man walks up. His wings folded on his back.

"I believe a good to meet you, in owed, grand-son."

We just found grandfather.

The hell is going on here
