[NightShade]

---

It had been almost five years since their bonding and Shade was surprised to find herself still happily content. Days had ebbed and flowed her life and unlife had just been time slipping away.

As she stared down at the sleeping form of him she could not help but feel a growing sadness. An uncommon thing for Shade. He was still in his prime, each day the Lycan beside her grew stronger, faster, and more determined. Yet every rise had a cap to it to which their was a plateau, which slowly, little by little began to degrade.

Shade was dealing with the eventuality of Myrddins loss and every day that slipped by between them strengthened her concern. Mired in her constant feeling of last moments... Immortalities true price weighed on her and though, Myrddin, partially elven had many many years ahead of him, to Shade the years were but a granual in the sands of time. How easily the granuals slipped thru her fingers.

Yet undeath was not something he would consider, he was a Lycan and all that was living, he was the personification of her opposite and the change of undeath would make him not what Myrddin was to her. She slipped from their bed staring out the window and watched as Mimus circled lazily in the sky out front much like a hawk, she smiled he had spotted a Pixie no doubt.. Mimus would walk with her forever but what of her love. For once Shade had no answer to this, she lived with the suffering of reality heavy upon her these days. Was there not some way, to prolong his life, without loosing its integrity?

A hand slipped over her shoulder it was rough from the grasp of sword. It broke thru her thoughts and meanderings as he plied a kiss to the back of her neck. Come back to bed... and she complied..

They had spoken plans were made, Myrddin had known Shades duty to the Cabal.

It didnt make him like the events, his face tightened as she spoke, and she watched him wrestle with control. She had things she must do even if it meant her bodies incineration.

Yet she hoped not for that..She did not tell him what lay in her pack, what years of work had provided the cabal. Nor did she tell him that it was only the tip of the iceberg in their resources. Guarded and safe the temple was held by the Wisps. This machine of Moonglows could be good or bad for the cabal. What of Inu hopping about in her deranged mind. Inu knew when the cabalists were near her face darkened she was disrupted by the force upon them.

Deny me not this my love, Deny me not the right to fulfill my duty. She was curled on his lap her arms resting about his neck and she felt once more that feeling of last moments. You must hurry back to me Vampire.. Shade smiled hiding her worry, it will be but days Lycan and I shall be back in your arms.

She rose and headed out the door leaving him there not turning back. She was greatly unsure of what would happen in the next few days but wisps had plagued her at the temple constantly, dark wisps having returned to the Cabal. Even now she felt the presence of one and was certain that it intended to be with her threw this. Mimus flittered above her and she outstretched her hand he landed and hopped up her arm to her shoulder. The bird moved its great head against her cheek a sad noise coming from it. She smiled and rubbed her cheek agianst his black feathers. You can not come with me my faithful friend you have a duty to family that must be adhered. Long ago trained in your kind by the Gryfiths, you are the protector. Watch safe my Mimus my seer of all things...see that they come to no harm... If I do not return go to Barl he knows what to do, I will ascend my new form... The birds eyes gleamed with knowledge and he nipped her shoulder drawing blood, his last affection for now to her. She smiled and his black wings spread taking flight she whispered softly as he flew away:

We are his, Zog Cabal, we are chosen, we will bring peace, this was but a step...
