Blossom and Leaf were walking back to the house to check up on some of the worse injured people. They had mostly re-filled their medical bags.

"Do you think we'll be able to win the upcoming war?" Blossom asked Leaf nervously.

"I hope so," Leaf sighed. "If we don't, I'd hate to think what would happen."

"I miss home."

"Yeah, me too Blossom, but when this is all over we can return home."

A long since loomed over the two medics as they finally arrived, yet neither entered. Blossom looked at Leaf. "Is something wrong?" Leaf shook her head, but Blossom didn't believe her. "Leaf, please tell me-"

"I. . .I just can't stop thinking about it. . .Barry's death." Leaf admitted finally, tears pricking her eyes. "I just keep wondering if I had gotten to his side sooner. . .maybe I could've saved him."

Blossom looked at Leaf then held her close. "Leaf, you did everything you could to help. You even said it yourself, the injury was too great." Leaf broke down in Blossom's arms and Blossom held her lover close. "Shh, shh. I'm here. Right here." Blossom rubbed Leaf's back and put her head on the medic's shoulder. Leaf nuzzled into Blossom's chest as much as she could, still sobbing. Blossom placed a hand on Leaf's soft, red cheek and rubbed, wiping away each tear as it fell.

After a few minutes of consoling, Leaf's sobs died down to sniffles. She lifted her head to make eye contact with Blossom.

Blossom smiled a little and kissed Leaf on the nose. "We'll be okay."

"It all started on that horrid battle..." Irida explains. A young girl stands in the middle of a battlefield. She looked vaguely like Irida. But something was different about her... She points a finger at the Cloaks grouped ahead. "Now!" She screams out. Multiple catapults launch around her. The ground shakes from their sheer power and might as multiple rocks are sent crashing down upon the invading army.

"I'm not forcing you. If you don't want to talk, then you don't need to" Gwen tells Irida. "We're doing it! We're actually doing it! We may actually win this battle!" Irida shouts while turning to look at Kolby. "It's all thanks to you and your command" Kolby responds happily. He glances at her for only a second before facing back towards the fight.

"No, you're right, I need to do this" Irida responds sharply. Next to Irida, one of the catapults was dripping with oil, which is unknown to Irida. She stares forward at the fighting ahead. Gasping when she spots a nightmarish sight in the distance. "Warmachines! Take cover!" She cries out while leaping to the side to hide behind the nearest catapult just as arrows rain down upon them. The arrows had broken through the catapults, making them useless. Realizing this, Irida's men leave the catapults behind to rush into battle. Irida sneaks a peek at Kolby, but he wasn't looking at her, instead, he was looking at an archer in the distance.

"I have to do this" Irida repeats, much more softly now. The archer dips an arrow into the flame from her lamp and fires it at Irida. It hits Irida's catapult, the structure almost immediately goes up into flames. "Irida!" Kolby shouts while tackling her away from the burning catapult. His quick thinking ensured that she wouldn't die a nasty death, but she didn't get out of it unscathed. "Irida!" Kolby shouts again, staring at down Irida, horrified to see her in so much pain. Her teeth were clenched together, one eye opened to show off her agonized expression. The other half of her face was covered by a bloody hand. "No, Irida, no, please" Kolby whimpers. "Everything will be okay, I promise everything-"

"He was brave. Always have been..." Irida continues. "He was also a fighter, a fighter until the very end..." Fear fills Irida's eye as chilling laughter can be heard from behind Kolby. "Now, now, what do we have here?" A voice asks. Kolby turns around to face their attacker. With his body no longer blocking the view, Irida can now see who had approached them.

"It was the black-eyed girl," Irida reveals. "You..." Kolby growls, while slowly standing up to face her. "You leave us alone! Leave all of us alone!" He demands. His thoughts were illogical, driven by anger and she was not impressed. "Kolby tried to take a stand." Irida sucks in a pained breath, the memory was quickly becoming too much to bear. "Move away boy, I'm not here for you" the girl had not taken her eyes off Irida, in fact, she didn't even seem the slightest bit intimidated by him. "Kolby tried to save me, in fact, his sacrifice saved countless lives. I know now that we would've never won that battle." Kolby turns to look at Irida, at first he looked terrified, then... calm. As if he suddenly knew what he must do and had accepted it. "Retreat with the troops" Kolby demands. "I'm not leaving you!" Irida shouts. "Retreat. With. The. Troops!" Kolby repeats with much more force. "Now!" Irida opens her mouth to speak, but closes it when she meets his gaze. There was no arguing with him. "Somebody needs to make sure that you survive," Kolby explains while pulling out his sword. He stands in front of her, blocking both girl's view of eachother. It gives Irida time to slowly stand up onto her feet. She looks at Kolby before turning to leave him. "Our people need a leader, you are the best fit. It's been an honor serving you as both a soldier and a friend." Kolby's voice drifts into the air behind her, his words drive a dagger through her heart. "Hang tight! I'll come back for you!" She promises. The chilling laughter returns, "You foolish boy" the girl says as she draws out her own sword. "I'll enjoy killing both of you." Irida winces, she turns around one last time only to see Kolby and the girl launched into a sword fight. For a moment, she considers helping, until she moves an eye over to the battle ahead. Kolby was right, they needed to retreat.

"Kolby fought hard" tears were now streaming down Irida's face. "Retreat! Come on! We need to move!" Irida shouts as she races towards the nearest men. It doesn't take long for the other survivors to notice her actions and follow her pursuit. Her and her army race off. The whole time, Irida had been praying to whatever God was out there that Kolby was somehow still alive.

"But in the end..." The Cloaks didn't bother chasing the retreating army. They soon left the battlefield behind, leaving Kestrian to deal with the bodies. Irida was barely bandaged up before she went back out to search the battlefield for Kolby. She quickly spots the burnt down catapult and races towards it. Tears streamed down her face as a familiar black-haired boy lay next to it. His sword lay fallen, next to his body. His hand was slightly outstretched towards it, as if he tried to grab it but stopped himself. He lay facing Kestrian, undoubtedly wanting to see for himself that they made it out of the battlefield alive. She races towards the body, clutching it and screaming into the sky. She begged for it to not be true. But no matter what, the outcome had never changed. "...That black-eyed girl had won."

After staying still for a while, Eric felt something pulling him. He couldn't quite understand what, probably just an impulse, but he moved out of the doorway of the room he was in, walking down the hallway a bit until he stopped, leaning against the wall outside of a room he knew Tani to be in.

*Tani had continued to cry after Sage left. But she tried to control her emotions. She wiped the tears off of her face and began to take deep breaths. From the corner of her eye, she saw Eric leaning on the wall, leading her to look towards him. He slowly made his way towards her and motioned to the door*

It was fairly obvious that Tani was upset. But Eric, being a man of few words, knew that Tani cooling off would simply require her getting out of the house. The fresh air would do her good. "C'mon," he said quietly, "Let's take a walk." While he couldn't say much to comfort her, he could do this. Once outside, he kept his eyes to the ground. The most that he said was, "I can't say much, can I? Not really my expertise. But..I figured this would do you good."

*Tani watched Eric as he spoke and began to walk towards the door. She stood up, causing for him to open the door and wait for her to exit. Once she was out of the house, Eric closed the door behind the two of them and they began to walk along the seaside wall.*

Both girls were silent for a moment, each filled with their own grief. They both had lost someone they loved. Their loved one died so that many others could continue living. Both were killed by the black-eyed girl.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that. I know the pain you are experiencing." Gwen tells Irida softly. Misery loved company... Gwen recounts her own tale of losing Dylan. How he acted like a traitor to save them. How he ultimately died by fighting Talla to the death. Irida silently listens, her own tears drying up as a sympathetic look crosses onto her face.

When Gwen is done, both girl's glance at eachother, seemingly having a silent conversation with eachother. At that moment, they realized that they were more in common than they thought. Irida places a hand on Gwen's shoulder. "It's time for us to let go of the past. We must appreciate our time with them when they were alive and honor their deaths. It's time we move on... Together" Irida smirks, as if amused at the idea of working with Gwen as equals. "We'll continue living and fighting just as they would want and finally bring this war to an end!" Gwen returns the smile, thinking the same thing as Irida. At that moment, they were no longer allies, they were arguably friends.

"Now-" Irida drops her hand and wipes her face one last time, her smile disappearing when she drops her hand. "Let's return to the others, we still have a lot of work to do! We'll have to work extra hard to make up for this lost time!" Irida orders while marching ahead of Gwen.

"Irida's back" Gwen whispers to herself with an amused smile while following her back over to Winters.

*As the two walked along the wall, Tani took deep breaths in and out. All of her life she had heard stories of the ocean but had never been near one, let alone seen it until the day prior. Suddenly, Eric spoke, causing Tani to slightly jump*

As they walked, the silence became awkward. Thick. Despite being someone who was usually so quiet, Eric hated it. It weighed down on him in a way that he would not prefer. So, he spoke up, blurting out, "So, err, what do you think of the weather around here?" Tani shot him a curious look, and he looked down at his feet, saying quickly, "Just trying to make conversation."

*Tani chuckled and kicked a small rock as she walked by* I dont know its- *Tani hesitated and looked around, thinking before she finally answered* its different. I grew up as a servant but before that I- *Tani stopped walking and paused. Memories of her childhhod had seemed to have left her.* God, I can't remember. Its been so long

"I know the feeling," Eric muttered darkly to himself, his fingers intertwining behind his back. He wasn't sure if he should lead the conversation in that direction, there were few people indeed who were quick to share their stories. So, he led the subject somewhere else, to a topic that he could follow falteringly, if at all. "I've heard stories," he began slowly, "Of what you did. For the people of Telmar."

*Tani sat down on the seaside wall and began to shiver with every gust of wind. She heard Eric speak and she looked up towards him* Telmar is the only place I've ever felt comfortable calling home. *Tani lowered her head and looked forward* Its the one place where I feel like I belong. At least, from what I can remember

Eric stopped walking, and crouched next to her, not looking at her, but instead beyond at the sea in front of them. "A home is a wonderful thing indeed, no matter what it may be. And I hope that someday, I can let myself find a place that I feel comfortable calling home." His fingertips brushed the stone, and he pressed his palm flat against the wall. "That will be a special day for me."

*Tani took deep breaths in and out as the two of them sat there until she finally stood up* I'm ready to go back now.

Leaf and Blossom had just come back from checking up on the injured, thankfully they were recovering well. Both girls were re-stocking their bags as they quietly chatted about what they fear would happen, they both knew a war was fast approaching so they needed to be as ready as they could be.

Eric nodded, moving his hands so that he could push himself to a standing position. "As you wish." They walked back to Tani's home in silence.

*Upon reaching Tani's home, the two walked back in and closed the door behind them. Luke slowly walked from the kitchen back into his room where he closed the door behind him. Tani placed her hand on her forehead and looked back at Eric* I think I'm going to go to bed, if thats fine with you.

He nodded. "I understand. Unless you need anything else, I'll leave you in peace." He turned around in one quick motion and started moving quietly torwads the door.
