Xella Talks to Ron

Xella Steward runs from the Shadow Lands, feeling the pain of where Ryn had grabbed her.

Ron Steward wanders frantically in the forests behind River City.

Ron Steward: "No use, Xella can't be found anywhere! What could have happened to her?"

Xella Steward feels her emotions swirl, unsure of what, who......who can she believe.....Ryn was her friend.

Xella Steward feels her legs give way and falls to the ground, unable to hold human form.

Ron Steward kicks a stone in anger and worry, one larger that it should have been, now his foot aches.

Xella Steward whimpers and curls up to a tree, her tail wrapped around her as she shakes.

Ron Steward sits down on the fresh leaves, close to desperation, and the he sees her.

Ron Steward: "Xella, Xella, is that you??"

Xella Steward looks up, "Ron......"

Ron Steward: "How, what are you doing laying on the ground in siren form? Are you alright??"

Ron Steward runs to her and hugs her.

Xella Steward has tears falling down her cheeks.

Xella Steward curls up to him feeling the warmth of his love.

Xella and Ron

Ron Steward wraps his arms around her in care, "Now now sweetie, it's okay, don't worry."

Ron Steward dries  her  tears, "But, what happened?"

Xella Steward nuzzles his hand "Kat is dead, Ryn killed her."

Xella Steward whimpers softly.

Ron Steward: "Kat ... dead??"

Xella Steward nods, knowing she has told her Ron many stories of her friend Kat.

Ron Steward knows how fond she was of her friend, specially after the death of her other friend, was Dina her name?

Ron Steward: "How did that happen?

Xella Steward: "Ryn killed her, I thought he,,,,was my friend."

Xella Steward shakes as she remembers.

Ron Steward hugs her even closer trying to ease her pain, "Ryn the Drow??"

Xella Steward pauses, then nods, still going to keep his secret.

Xella Steward avoids looking him in the eyes "Ryn, the Drow."

Ron Steward's face turns grim, both for the Gypsy's death but even more because of the danger Xella may face."

Xella Steward leans on her Ron, whimpering softly.

Xella Steward: "He killed them both, my two human friends."

Xella Steward closes eyes and whimpers.

Ron Steward raises Xella's chin and looks into her eyes, "Xella, what is it? There is something you're not telling me. Something about that Drow?"

Xella Steward whimpers and nods, knowing she cannot hide anything from him.

Xella Steward: "Ryn, is not a Drow, he is, the Demon everyone is after."

Ron Steward's eyes go wide in amazement, "A Demon?? Ryn is the Demon? The Drow you were befriending?"

Xella Steward bites lip, nodding.

Xella Steward: "Dina was right, he fooled me,"

Xella Steward crys as she lets the truth wash over her, "Dina is dead, due to me.....

Ron Steward is now totally alarmed, "Xella, I want you to stay deep in the sea, in that hidden cove only you and I know of. And then I will go talk with the King Druid, this is too serious to play with!"

Xella Steward looks up at her Ron alarmed

Xella Steward: "No!

Xella Steward nuzzles him and crys "Don't...tell him, please...."

Ron Steward: "Yes! No more deaths, least of all ... yours my love!"

Ron Steward takes her in his arms and walks her to the river nearby, "Go Xella, I'm heading to River City!"

Xella Steward leans on him, feeling weak.
