Novakon stood there, at the border of the fire domain and the ice domain. His hands clenched together, drawing blood from his palms. His body trembled with a rage that he had never felt before. His mind was molten rock, bubbling and flowing with thoughts of wholsale slaughter and death to those that have taken what was most precious to him. At his back stood a small group of his best warriors, all ready to follow him into the frozen hell of the Ice kingdom to reclaim their princess. But one single voice hardened that molten mind of his and calmed his fury. He turned barely to see Willow approaching quickly. She spoke to him, told him not to do this for it would be deadly. Little did she know that the fire he held at the moment would keep him alive long enough to find his little girl and then return home.
But he had made a vow to this woman, this beautiful drathir of the wind that had captured and healed a broken heart. So he swallowed back his rage, his anger and power. Turning to those assembled he spoke. " Return to the palace and provision the two troups of elites. One will accompany myself and willow, the other will be outfitted for extreme survival in the ice realm. Find my daughter within five days, if you can not return home and ready the troops for war and await my return. Ten days is all any of my people can withstand in that frozen hell. " With that he turned away and headed back for the palace, to prepare to accompany Willow to the gathering of lords. While his men carried out his orders at the same instant.

Willow was more worried now than ever. Rose had been taken on one of the most important nights of her life and Novakon was a fire ball of rage. She had to go after him, rushing up beside him and took hold of his arm. She pleaded with him to stop, fearful he would go into the ice domain and surely die there. “Novakon! Stop!!” She cried out to him as he looked down at her, “Stop Novakon… if you go out there you’ll surely die yourself…” She said to him. He spoke up telling his troops to return to his palace and prepare two groups of elites and he would escort Willow back. He wanted to find Rose but wasn’t thinking rationally. As he started to lead he back to the palace Willow stopped him and forced him to look at her. “…Novakon… it’s been… 2 days… two days for us to get to the edge of the Ice Domain… She could be so far up in that domain your men will surely die of cold…”
Willow shook her head; she didn’t like having to think it or even say it to Novakon but knew she must say it or Novakon would continue on in this rage denial. “Novakon… we should also… make preparations… should they… find her body.” She said to him, her hand taking hold of his. “She was in nothing but a thin night gown… it didn’t have any sleeves… and she was barefoot. He didn’t even take a blanket to keep her warm in… and if… if he did bring her into his domain… Novakon she doesn’t… now how to keep warm like older Fire Drathirs. And after 2 days…” she said having such a hard time telling it to him straight. “I just think you should prepare yourself dear… there is… a very high chance she’s already gone.”

He stopped, and stared at her. He listened but his rage remained there at the brink. His body tensed and finally he spoke once she had finished. " My soldiers, will search for her regaurdless. Five days only and five days to get out. If they find her......and she is not alive then i will burn the entire ice domain to the ground for this. They had better hope she is alive, that some miracle has kept her alive. And the one that took her had better hope i do not get my talons on their hide. " He relaxed alittle though but only for her sake.
He gave a nod to his men to continue with his orders. A search and rescue mission only. Five days, four for searching, one to begin their way back. They new his tactics well. He looked back to her, fear, hate and rage was all that was there. " We need to get together with the current rulers. I will not stand for this no longer. "

The stare that Novakon gave willow left her unsettled. He was wild, almost rabid like and it did not make her feel good inside. She saw his muscle tense up as he parted his lips as he stated he would look for her regardless. He threatened that Rose had better be found alive. The tone of his voice sent a hollow feeling through her and it was not at all a tone she wanted to hear. She stepped away from him as he just didn’t seem like the man she had just married. His rage sunk deep, and even she could feel it. She knew that a child like Rose would only survive so long in the Ice Domain before she’d succumb to the cold and die in a hypothermic sleep. Willow felt tears in her eyes as she looked away from Novakon, “I only hope… that her death was not painful…” She said having lost hope. If man who took Rose wanted her dead he would insure it and Willow knew this.

He stoped as his soldiers had already begun heading on into the ice domain. He looked at Willow and his hands came up and took her shoulders. He turned her to face him and pulled her close. She felt the rage, and the fear in his trembling but strong hands. " You would give up so easily on her? That seems to be something you don't do often. Don't.....fail me Willow. Right now you are the only person that can keep me...contained, level headed. For all of my rage and strength right now, I am......weak and afraid. I can't survive another loss like this. And i'm depending on your love, your strength and your beleife in me to keep me from doing something stupid. "

Willow didn’t lie it when Novakon pulled her close against him. When he was this upset it scared her more then she had ever felt before, and his words made it worse. She didn’t even think he was using rational thought anymore, acting out of anger and not common sense. He was a Fire Drathir with Fire Drathir soldiers about to enter into the Ice Domain which was their opposing element. The cold would eventually make them week, but they were adults who knew how to keep their inner flame going to keep them warm where as Rose was a child who didn’t know how to do that and would surely die in the Ice Domain. “I can’t do this with you Novakon… the stress will undoubtedly kill our child. You go out there… your putting yourself and your men at risk. Your putting my heart at risk… I love Rose as if she was my own.”
“I’ve been there since she was a baby but at least I’ve got the mind to know that… there is a very high chance she is already dead… but I’m not going to destroy myself and blame myself for it and in turn take of life of my unborn child as a result of it… go on your Ice capades… but I will not worry myself to death because of your… stupid choices” She said as she turned away from him to go home. It killed her to talk to him like this but she had no choice. He was completely blinded by his anger.

He growled and shook with anger. Could she not see that for all of his strength that without one to calm his spirit that he would be nothing more than an animal? He looked at his men and changed their orders. " Do not go in there, instead set up patrols on the border. Prepare our kingdome for war should it come to it. If anyone brings.......If Rose is returned to us, detain the person as a guest. Keep them gaurded but treat them well. " He turned and followed after her. When out of earshot of the others he spoke. " Damn it Willow I know this can't be good for you or the child, but it is something I can't take either. If you can not keep me calm then things will happen that are not good for others. Please my love, be my guide. I can't do this alone and I never could. If she is......gone then I will not know what to do other than destroy the Ice kingdom. I'm....not my father....and i'm not my mother. " He stopped and despite all of his rage he sank onto a near by rock and his head fell forward into his hands. Tears staining his face, and falling to the ground. Why could he not be strong? Why was he such a failure to all those he loved and cared for? " Am....I so useless that all that is sacred to me must be taken or ruined? "

Willow couldn't handle Novakon when he was like this, though she stopped even with her back to him, "I can't do this over and over again Novakon. Every time... something bad happens... you go into this... blinded rage and it breaks my heart all over again. I'm sorry if I think practically... she's a little girl, who doesn't know how... to get a handle on her power... Shes been out there for a while now and she was dressed in only a sleeveless nightgown. Maybe if she had been dressed up tightly in warm furs and other thick clothes but she wasn't. I don't like having to think that my... little girl might be dead but I also need to face the reality that there is a good chance she will be. I don't want to be in denial to myself... there is still hope... just little of it."

He looked up as she spoke. She spoke too true and it hurt to know his hot blood at such things caused such problems. But that was who he was, and always has been. " That is why I need you more than ever my love. I am unable to think clearly most of the time, especially when like this. I'm sorry that it hurts you but there is not much i can do about it. Please....what should I do? I can't give up or beleive that shes gone....."

Willow turned as she looked back at Novakon, it hurt her inside to speak to him so harshly but he had to learn his couldn’t go on a rampage every time he was upset when he knew it hurt her. “I can’t help you Novakon if you’re going to rage around… I love you but sometimes you don’t face reality… I can only hope and pray that she is alive but I also have to be realistic… it would be no different if Rose was of my own flesh and blood.” She approached him slowly and gently stroked his cheek with the backs of her fingers, “Send a messenger into the ice domain and ask for their cooperation to look for her. It would be better if Ice Drathir’s looked for her then us risking our own.”

He looked up as she came closer. Then he leaned into her touch, tears already running down his cheeks. His men had left already to carry out the new orders and those that still remained as their personal gaurd had their backs to them. But that didn't matter for they have seen him like this before. He gave her a gentle nod and pulled her close, resting his face against her stomack and let his arms rest at her waist. There was nothing he could do but hope and pray. But damn it all if he would lay down and let this go un answered. But she was right, he had to face the reality that Rose was most likely dead or dying. After a moments time he leaned back and stood up. " You are right. But love you know how I am far too well. I am not capable at controlling my anger too well on my own. But you can help me keep it from becomeing harmfull. I love you and do not want to hurt you. As long as you guide me Willow we shall be fine. " He smiled and caressed her gently. Then he had one of his soldiers that still remained head for the ice domains palace as a messenger. After gearing for the trip to help him survive longer and better.

Willow looked down at Novakon as he held his head against the stomach of her dress, her hands coming to rest on the back of his head and her fingers in all his red hair. "I'm sorry if I upset you Novakon but... I'm feeling so... emotionally stressed... and if I don't get it lowered Rose wont be the only child who looses her life." She said with a deep sigh. She was tired, worried, and upset all at one time, and Novakon had been making it hard for her to keep healthy for herself and their child who was growing inside her. She didn't know what to do with him, he was hot headed and bad tempered and wanted justice for his little girl, and yet there was nothing really they could do if she had been taken out into the Ice Domain. A dangerous place even for her, but even more so for him and his soldiers.

He just couldn't beleive this was happening. No matter what he did, or tried everything was taken from him or he made things worse than they should ever have to be. Feeling her fingers playing in his hair he calmed more and simply held her close, feeling the life that had started to grow within her. She made more sense than he liked to hear but that is why she was there. He loved her and his family, and she was his balance, a way of keeping sense in his head. He had to think of her health now as well, just as she said. He sighed and slowly stood and looked at her with a gentle nod. " Lets go. "

Willow sighed softly watching him as he seemed to be listening to her stomach. She looked at him as he stood and gazed into her golden eyes and told her to go with him. She nodded slightly but before actually doing so, she leaned in gently and closed her eyes before placing a gentle but loving kiss on his lips. She felt like she had managed to get through to him somehow and now was calmer and less enraged as he was before. She took his hands gently knowing that she and their baby was important to him, and this let out some of the stress she had been building up. She hadn't told him that her sides where aching from cramps, brought on by her stress and worry about the health of her growing child.

He smiled softly and returned her gentle kiss. He took her back to the palace. For now rest and carefull planning was needed. She needed time to rest as well before the trip to the other kingdomes to settle this matter....to sever his ties to most of them. More importantly he needed his training circle, his rage was still there and needed to be let out. And in a way that would not cause her to stress out more than she was.
