Thana’s anger didn’t diminish whatsoever during the time her and Anna spent with the young pup named Alastar. She was still infuriated with the whole situation that X’yrin had caused. If she had just kept her big ass away from Jaden then he would be hers right now. Instead, Thana had to leave since she couldn’t sit by and watch the two of them together. She had already lost her first love to another and now it happened all over again. That vile woman would learn just how big of a mistake she had made. No one crosses a trained assassin and leaves unscathed. She would learn that her place was beneath Thana.

It was easy to train Anna as they traveled, having the pup work on her marksmanship as they rode atop of Abbadon. The young girl was quickly mastering the bow she had been given and seemed to improve every time she loosed an arrow. In her blind rage, Thana never even noticed they had crossed onto Inferni territory. The two girls decided to stop for a moment to hunt, while still on Inferni grounds, and find something to eat. Sitting back, the dark woman allowed Anna to try hunting on her own. A smile crossed her face when the pup returned with two fat rabbits. They ate quickly, scarfing down every last bit of meat. Thana gnawed on one of the bones as the two of them began to pack up their things, hearing a crunch as the bone snapped in Thana’s jaws.

Ithiel is by Raze!

The dusky-furred hybrid was outfitted as normal when scouting the borders. He rarely wore his sword, as it was not one of his better weapons; instead, the dusky-furred hybrid had his bow and his quiver and a small dagger. The thick leather covering his arm and chest creaked and squeaked as he shifted in the saddle. He reached up to his ribs and scratched absent-mindedly, glancing skyward in time to see Zedekiah swooping in quickly.

Lystra snorted and stamped her feet when the big bird came in to land on one of the branches before Ithiel, muttering and squawking his alarm. Zedekiah was not one for talking much -- instead, the bird bobbled his head and hissed, long and low. Border, he muttered. Border border border, he insisted, shifting from one foot to the other as Ithiel brought his chestnut mare to a stop before his chosen perch. Forest, Zedekiah muttered again. Hunt, kill. Wolf, wolf, wolf, he repeated, and with two great flaps of his wide wings, launched into the air.

It was all Ithiel needed -- the dust-colored hybrid kicked his horse in its sides and goaded her forward, an insistent alarm ringing in the back of his mind. Wolves on the borders -- Boreas again? The hybrid drove Lystra to a gallop and they raced across the marshlands, heading toward Hallow's Ruins and the thin tree cover they provided. Before long, the dusky coyote's crimson eyes saw them. Well on Inferni's territory, and with a horse. The dust-colored hybrid pulled Lystra to a more comfortable pace, bit on her reins, and drew an arrow from his quiver in the same motion that brought his bow up to bear. He aimed, and -- hesitated.

A girl and a child. Why do they always have children? he thought, as he loosed the arrow. It sank into the ground several feet from them, and Ithiel brought his horse to a stop with a tug of his muzzle as he reached for another arrow and notched it. Shifting the reins with his tongue, the dusky hybrid growled a verbal warning to accompany the shot. Out, he roared, his voice not so much as muffled by the leather in his mouth. I will not warn you again, he said, drawing the bowstring back.
