"Jon may I come in"

"Moth wing?, is something wrong. " he looked around, "Where's Dawn he isn't hurt right". Moth wing sighed deeply her ears falling back, "Jon...Dawn has fallen". The she cats voice faded as Jon looked at her in disbelief, "No you're joking...he..he can't be dead" Jon voice trailed off as Moth wing looked down some tears seen in her eyes "I'm so sorry Jon" she said making Jon look down. She wasn't lying, Jon fell to his knees and broke down in tears as Moth wing put a supportive paw on his back. Jon felt like his world shattered, memories from Hard landing flashed back in his mind, those demons, Ddawn and the dark days that were his imprisonment. "I-I thought....you would stay with me" Jon cried loudly. Why did this happen to him,

A white faded shadow, "Who are you" Dashlie asked as the pale white lioness stalked around her. Her black eyes scanning the young demon before stopping in front of her, "I am power dear and I could give it to you" the lion said her voice echoing in the darkness. Dashlie flinched as the lioness rear on her hind legs, her front resting on Dashlie's shoulders. "What a scar you have" she said placing a ghostly paw on the scars on her face, Dashlie pushed her away and grabbed his white hair to hide the ugly scars on her face. "There is no need to hide those, those are a symbol of power and many will fear you if you only listen to what I have to offer" the lioness said backing up, "Just follow me" she purred softly. Dashlie reached a hand out about to follow her till a loud growl made her freeze as another animal stepped out of the pitch black darkness, different from the lioness. A wolf, her fur glowed silver from the stars in her fur while her eyes glowed a bright silver and she was a sight to behold. The lioness growled her tail lashing as the wolf snarled, "Dashlie" the wolf spoke looking back at her. "Either follow her into the unknown or stay with me", her voice was gentle and soft making Dashlie look between the star wolf and lioness. "I can give you power" the lion roar while the wolf stayed silent, Dashlie watched as the lion stalked into the shadows but Dashlie lost her temptation and stayed with the star wolf.

"Dashlie" she spoke looking at the soldier, "I'm glad to finally met you". Dashlie was shocked as the wolf gave a slight bow, "Who are you" she asked making the wolf raise her head. "My name is Eldura", "Nice to meet you" Dashlie said making the wolf chuckle softly. "Do those scars hurt dear" Eldura asked as Dashlie nodded slightly, "Kneel down, I'm not gonna hurt you" she said walking up to Dashlie who in turn kneeled down to her. The wolf pushed her hair away before lightly pressed her muzzle against the wounds making Dashlie hiss in pain but the pain quickly left. "Better", "A lot thank you" Dashlie said hiding her once more as Eldura smiled before turning back into the darkness. "I really loved your father you know" she said making Dashlie snap her head in her direction, "You know my father Hero" Dashlie asked as Eldura nodded before walking a few steps the darkness fading and being replaced with spots of light. "Hero....oh Hero how I loved that man" she said, every time his names left her lips it was filled with deep admiration and love, "How I miss him". Dashlie followed the wolf, "Were you two in love" she asked making Eldura nod, "Yes we loved each other very much, we got married, had cubs. I wish my life didn't come to a sudden end right after starting a new one".

(Eldura sings the song above in this part)

Dashlie looked at the wolf, she never remembers Hero mentioning a love or special someone in his life though he always spend him valentine days sad and alone but Dashlie thought that was normal. "My God, my heart beats faster! And my mind is racing. Could it be...? Could it be that you've come back to life?" Eldura hummed softly as she sat down looking at the star lit room. "I know those eyes, following me. Dark and familiar, and . I know that face, strange though it seems. Younger and kinder, it haunts all my dreams" she sang, Dashlie sat next to her listening to the she wolves song, "How can you stand there, a whisper from me? Yet somehow, be so far away?, In eyes once familiar, a stranger I see. With so many words left to say". Eldura took a deep breath and shook her head, "This man is dead, he is no more. He died a little each day. Like a thief, the Château d'If has stolen him away. The mind plays tricks, You are confused.The man you seek is long gone". Dashlie listen as the she wolf changed her tone from soft singing to more rough tone almost as two voices battle against each other, "Dead and cold. A story told, by , those he loved, and those who then...moved on". Dashlie paid close attention to the lyrics, they seemed to grab her attention no matter how much she tries to pull away at the sudden chorus of voices

"I am a ghost, just a mirage

Who chases traces of you"

"There in that voice...

Traces of you..."

"Dark and familiar, and deep as the sea"

"This man is dead, he is no more

And though it's torturing me"

"I know those eyes...

Torturing me"

"Can either of us really ever be free? How can you stand there a whisper from me...? When you are still so far away? And why does the truth seem too hard to be true? With so much broken...", Dashlie was beginning to doze off, she tried to snap out of the trance.

"And so much damage. There are no words"

"Left to say..."

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

Warmth was the first thing Dashlie realized as she woke up, her face turned a deep shade or red realizing she was sleeping next to the Winter moon, the male warrior was fast asleep. His maned head on her shoulder while his paws held her in a protective embrace, well isn't this just...pleasant. Don't get me wrong it was a warm fluffy hug but still this is a male no matter of less, Dashlie was fighting with herself on pulling away or staying in this warm fluffy embrace. She ran her hands through his soft fur wondering how it stayed so soft and fluffy through all the tough times, Winter moon gave a purr deep from his chest making Dashlie relaxed as she returned his embrace. Winter moon cracked his clear blue eyes and gave a small smile as he snuggled her back, Dres would flipped if he was here thank notch he wasn't. As the day progressed Shadow was back to his normal self and the group began discussing what to do now. Dashlie already got checked out by Moth wing and she said she'll be fully healed in a week or so as long as she doesn't open the healing wounds so she was given a gentle work out. Dashlie was surprised to only find the golden she cat and Rain fall, where was Duni and Dawn she wondered. Dark stripe didn't give her anything to do today since he believed she wasn't healed enough but she was allowed to watch the others train.

Winter moon was fishing in a river while Shadow was trying to adjust his vision so he had his work cut out for him but others who have also lost their vision in battle were helping him. Dashlie watched as Winter moon swooped out a fish from the river and kill it with a swift bite, the male then ran his claws over the scales trying to scratch most of them off. He soon began to eat, "Why don't you cook it" Dashlie asked as the male shrugged, "We never cook our food, we like raw food. Aqua eats raw fish and seafood all the time" Winter moon said pulling a huge chunk of fish out and swallowing it. Dashlie messed with her hair, "Umm Winter moon do you have a human form" she asked making the feline look at her confused, "I've seen a few feline soldiers in their human form and wondered if you have one". Winter moon wiped the scales from his muzzle and nodded, "Wanna see it" he asked making her nod. Winter moon stretched, arching his back as Dashlie waited. She was curious to see her friend in his human form, Winter monsoon transformed into the human form he only uses when he's bored and wants to mess with Shadow. Winter moon was a decently muscular and tall male, he wore simple white pants and shirt no shoes. He kept his signature lion tail, his hair was long and almost poofy as it laid on his shoulder giving the illusion of a mane, his ears were hidden in his hair while those crystal blue eyes kept their feline appearance.

"Show off" Shadow yelled making Winter moon throw a hiss in his direction as he sat next to the albino who couldn't contain the blush from rising on her face, well this couldn't have gotten even more awkward. Dashlie looked down her hair falling over her face as Winter moon finished snacking on his fish, "So why were you asking for my human form" he asked between mouth fulls of the fish. "Well you know I was just curious" Dashlie said nervously playing with her hair, Winter moon chuckled sending a grin her way. "Can you believe those two Aqua" Shadow to the squid who shrugged, "Hey guys have you seen my sister" Dres asked as both males pointed at the riverside where Winter moon was trying to start a conversation but to no avail. Dres raised an eyebrow wondering who the strange male was but his overprotective brother mode flipped on once he noticed how embarrassed Dashlie looked, he knows his sister well enough to see her hiding behind her hair a nervous gesture. Dres gave a small growl before walking over as Shadow held back a chuckle, "Dashlie there you are" the vampire said making Dashlie look at him. "Hey Dres" Winter moon waved as the vampire glared at him, "Who are you and why are you talking to my sister" he asked as Winter moon tilted his head. "What" he asked dumbfounded, "Dick its okay" Dashlie said but the vampire spread his wings trying to intimate the other male who looked more confused than scared, "Who are you" he asked again. "Dres its me Winter moon" the feline said flicking his tail as the vampire scanned him from head to toe, "Wait holy cow it is you, I'm sorry friend" the vampire quickly apologized while Dashlie laughed. "It's alright D, not many know this form and I barely use it" the feline said rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. Dres folded his wings neatly over his back once more, "Dashlie I came to ask if your okay" he asked his sister trying to lighten the mood.

Winter moon stood up and walked back to his team allowing both siblings to talk, "What" he asked seeing Shadow smirking lightly. "Don't give me that shit Moony, you love her" he said making a red blush appear on the felines pale skin, "No I don't I was just confirming her suspicions, she was hurt and-", "And you love her". The feline pushed him making Shadow laugh, "I was right you do love her" he yelled making Winter moon tackle him to the ground as both males fought while Aqua watched. "You really do love this idiot don't you" Dres asked as he watched Shadow and Winter moon fight, Dashlie chuckled lightly, "Can you really blame me" she said.
