I didn't know it at the time, but I was only a few hours ahead of Zach and their caravan.

Until I stopped for the night, feeling too weak to go on. After my little trip with my dead relatives, I hadn't eaten much. I didn't fully realized how exhausted I was until I literally saw stars dancing around my head. I don't even recollect what happened in those few minutes, but my stubbornness prevented me from seeing just how worn out I was.

    It was scary when the sky seemed to dip down towards me, beckoning, calling. I wanted to go, I wasn't sure if my feet were moving or not. Everything was in a haze.

    Then I was tackled, wrapped around in a supporting bear hug that took my breath away as I tried to comprehend the sights and smells that my sluggish brain was processing.

    Someone was hugging me. And there was a lot of blue everywhere.

    "Zara!" He cried. "Glamora save me, I thought I would never see you again."

    Now I was getting wet, not from the snow, which was effectively blocked out my Jay's wings as he spread them open on top of me like a cave of beautiful corresponding blues. He was crying, sobbing in reality.

    "Come with me please. There's so much you need to know, I want to tell you something." He pleaded.

    I groggily replied and leaned against his fur as we stumbled through the snow, the wind nearly swept me off my feet several times. Then I realized how weak I had become, and started breaking down myself.

    "I'm can't believe you found me." I admitted. "It's been a living nightmare Jay."

    He shushed me and my paws hit cold stone instead of cold frozen water. We were in a small cave. There were more claws in here, plus some other animals I didn't recognize. I saw my teacher, her look of shock upon seeing my small frail body. I saw Kennon, he was pretty sombre too. I didn't see Zach.

    "Where is Zach?" I asked weakly.

    In the back of the cave there were nests, Jay laid me down on his own.

    "He went out on a small patrol looking for you, Excelsior help me you look terrible..." His voiced was like a fall leaf, dry crumbly and shaking in the wind.

    Sarah was by his side instantly. "She'll be fine. A little warmth and plenty of nutrition."

    "Feurige went off with Zach, so there's our reliable source of fire." Jay groaned, lying down beside me and stretching a wing over my body. It was comfy, I fell asleep for a bit.

    When I awoke, things were much clearer. I was no longer in a passion crazed lust for company, and Jay looked as though he hand't moved from his post.

    "Are you awake?" He asked.

    "Yes, and I'm hungry. Is Zach back yet?" I remebered from what he had explained to me earlier.

    "No, he should be back by minute now." Jay pushed into my face a small mole, which I tore into, in a frenzy of hunger-lust.

    "I can't believe I found you." He sighed. "I missed you so badly Zara."

    "I missed you too." I replied, feeling warm in my chest, and awakened by food.

    "No I mean I really missed you. Zara, there's been something I've been meaning to tell you-"

    "Zara!" Shrieked and over excited voice, and I turned around to see my mirror image, and twin brother Zach.

    I stood shakily, wobbling slightly. Wings askew, fur unkempt and matted. A total mess, but the again he didn't look that different.

    He stared at me for a few moments with such happiness I started crying again.

    And we collided into each other's embrace in a ferocious sibling hug. And I could feel nothing but uncontainable joy.

    It was almost inaudible to everyone else, but you could hear a quiet pop as a Magykal reconnection was made existent again.

    "I love you." Zach sobbed. "I was so scared I would never get to tell you that again."

    "I love you too, and I always believed in you." I returned, not even embarrassed that were were saying this aloud with an audience.

    Sierra sniffed in the background.

    I broke the hug and gave his face a friendly lick.

    "Wow, we've sure looked better haven't we?" I laughed.

    He smiled, wiping away the tears. "You got right."

    "Hi. You must be Zara, Jay has told me a lot about you." A small silver furred tabby the light blue stripes, and to my curiosity, no wings introduced.

    "Who are you guys?" I asked, regaining my tough composure.

    Zach grinned again. "Let me intrusive you to Jay's brother Jelu. Suka's chosen one."

    It took me a few seconds to register that sentence.

    "His what now?"
