When he heard her whimper he reached out and let his arms fold around her in the darkness that came around them during the night. He slowly drifted into a lighter sleep and his senses began to pick up the little sounds of the night. She curled against him as she let out her soft sounds and he smiled softly and became aware of things around them. He was becoming restless now with these sounds coming from the hallways. He breathed in deeply and slowly forced his eyes to open. The room was dark save for the small amount of light provided from the balcony window. His eyes began to adjust as he turned his head more and looked over to the window but his ears picked up on those sounds again. For a moment he thought he was still asleep as he saw what appeared to be a spirit of eternal beauty. But his eyes focused and he smiled alittle. He was right, it was a spirit, one that watched over his little girl. But....why was he now able to see her?
There was a woman of great love and beauty there, just as there was next to him. He yawned and sat up, and placed his feet on the cool stone floor. " Kitiara...." He looked to Willow and then back up and the spirit was gone but he could still hear her. " Is everything alright my dear, why do you still haunt this place? " He stood slowly and walked over to where she had once sat while she lived with him. It didn't take long to sense she was worried about something and he could hear the sounds of the palace all around him still. Stopping next to the seat at the window he gently pushed the curtains back to veiw the gardens below. What is going on Why were things going so wrong now?

Her spirit seemed more restless than normal and as he pulled the curtain back in the balcony window he could see her transparent glowing figure walking down the path towards the white rose bush that marked her grave. She was looking around as if she was looking for someone, waiting for someone even. Her hands wrung over each other the way they used to when she was nervous or even anxious. The palace was alive with spiritual activity, but lately at night it’s gotten worse and the servants often hid in fear of the spirits they’d see roaming the grounds, a sign of a bad omen some often said, a sign that something terrible has happened. Willow was too tired to hear the sad very faint cries of the wondering spirits though Kitiara was silent and still waiting.

He sighed softly and shook his head. This was bad indeed. Everything was going wrong and his life was in ruins already and it was breaking him down. He watched the spirit of his wife, the rose bush and the night. He hoped against all that his little one was alive and well. He knew that if she was returned to him...dead then war would follow. He would not stand for this anylonger. If she was returned alive then other options were there. "

Kitiara turned on the path looking around, "Rose..." She called softly. "Rose my dear... where are you?" She called out but was quieted because her energy was little. The way she looked around the garden it didn't feel as if she was just a restless spirit looking for her daughter but waiting for her daughter to join her. "Come to me Rose... don't be afraid... come to me... where ever you are..." She said sadly, though oblivious to Novakon watching from his balcony window.

As much as he did not wish this to happen he knew that he would go insane if he allowed these spirits to continue to linger. They way his beloved was calling and looking it was afraid for the worst for his little girl. He could not stand the thought of loosing the last peice of his Kitiara that he had left. He needed a holy man to come soon, to cleanse the palace and the garden of all spirits. He turned slowly and went back to the bed and sat on its edge. He couldn't sleep at the moment.
Things were goign so wrong, so badly now that he could not tell what was real and what wasn't. All he knew was the greif and the pain in his body and heart. His soul had been partially healed thanks to his love Willow. Even that was shakey now and threatening to break because of his own temperment. But with their child at risk and her at risk because of this stress he had to do something and soon. He sighed as he held his face in his hands. Novakon....a king of the fire clan and strongest warrior in the clan was reduced to this. A scared, tired and overburdened shell of a drathir. Tears began splattering the floor through his fingers.

Willow rolled over when she felt the weight of the bed shift when he returned and sat along the edge. She felt like she was in a foggy haze, lifting a hand to lightly rub the sleep from her beautiful gold eyes. She could see him lean forward and rest his face into his hands but she had never heard him cry before. She was confused as to what had him awake this late into the night, but her instinct told her to comfort him. Sh reached out ever so slowly and rested her hand on his back gently, using her other arm and hand to push herself up into a half sitting pose. "Novakon? My dearest love?" She questioned hoping her voice would soothe his deep sadness.

What could be done to heal this pain? What would it take for him to be happy one and for all? What was there to be done to regain his strength? So many questions and still he could not find answers. This world was doing its best to completely break him in half, to destroy all he beleived in and held dear. So far it was working but it was a fight to do such a thing. Then he felt a soft touch and he sighed softly. He leaned into that soft touch and listened to her voice.
He didn't mean to wake her up with his motion or his crying. At this moment though he couldn't help but break apart. He simply turned and lay down with her, gently pulling her close as he hid his face in her shoulder. " I...don't know how long I can remain myself Willow. Everything is being destroyed and right in front of me. I.....I'm afraid that i'll loose everything and wind up with nothing more than anger and the cold that comes with it. "

She gasped softly when he laid down and put his face against her shoulder. She put her arms around him gently, not at all expecting him to be this emotional though understood that not having Rose there or knowing what became of her was frustrating. "It's not your fault Novakon... Talon has taken Rose from both of us. You are a good, warm, caring man and I love you... We'll find Rose... you'll see" She said to him as she kissed his forehead gently. "If it's anyone's fault it's mine... I fell in love with you and married you... I disrupted your life with Rose. If it wasn't for me she'd never of gotten her own room and she would have been sleeping with you... and never of been taken."

He shook his head and held her closer. He was still broken but he forced strength into his voice. And with that alittle heat as well as she replied to her. " Don't you ever say such a thing again. IF not for you then I would still be wounded and unable to love. Rose has to grow up someday and while under my feet she would never learn this. Do not blame yourself for such things ever again. "

She sighed deeply still somehow feeling as if she was to blame. "I'm the one who convinced you to separate the short leash between the two of you. Just because I wanted some alone time with you. I can't help but feel like it's all because of me... I never wanted to cause any harm... I just... wanted to love you." She said as she began to stroke his long red hair. "I didn't know Talon had gotten free... and I don't know why he attacked Rose... he must just want to hurt everyone... even a small child."

He held her closer and shook his head. " I won't warn you against that again love. " He managed a small smile and a tone of playfullness into his voice was now heard. " If you blame yourself again i'll just have to punish you. " He breathed deeply and kept his face buried into her shoulder. Breathing her in and out with delight. He was happy to be with her and he would do anything for her.
" Willow you were right to do what you did. I want her safe but there is a time that i have to start letting her grow up. She will always be my baby and i'll always try to protect her. But i can't do everything to prevent bad things from happening. You have done nothing wrong, but you have done everything so right. It's my fault for everything thats gone wrong. I should never have gone to that trial with her. I should have made her room closer and more protected. Everything i do seems to hurt everyone. Even my temper has almost cost me your love. "

Willow just held onto him, "Then you will just have to punish me... but when I have more energy. I didn't think there was anything wrong with teaching her some independence. You know as well as I that you wouldn't have been able to stand being in the Wind Domain without her for even a moment much less a few days. You are still deeply attached to Rose. You hate being away from her even for a moment. But that is just because you wanted to protect her... I pray by the Divine she is safe and well..."

He growled lightly and gave her a gently swat to her rear. But he let it go at that and simply held her close to him. He didn't know what else to say right now. So he listened to her and remained silent. Breathing her in with every breath and now and then he kissed her neck. He was glad to have her beside him. He had missed so much without having a companion. Finally though he did manage to say something. " I love her because she is a reminder of my lost love and my daughter. And i love you for having made me wake up to what needs to be. I could not ask for anything to be different from you. "

She rubbed his back with one hand and ran her fingers through his hair with her other hand. "I love you too Novakon... we are married now and we will have a child together... We'll get Rose back." She said giving him some gentle nuzzling hoping it would help him sleep. She was already falling back asleep. It was the middle of the night and she was more tired then usual because of her baby. She closed her eyes and couldn't keep awake any longer so she simply fell back asleep.

He simply nodded to her words, taking them as they were. He had to keep that hope alive for her sake and his own. He relaxed more when she began to nuzzle him and he sighed heavily. Although his grip relaxed he kept her held close to him. So tired from all of this that her warmth and her loving motions pushed his body and mind into a state of peace. He fell asleep one more just afew moments after she had fallen asleep as well. His last thought was of what their child would be like.
