Novakon yawned and stretched alittle as he looked out the window. Their trip had done the thing just as hoped. Although the first few days he did get drunk which was odd for him. And he contained himself well enough. Slowly he grew out of his slump and became more normal.
He smiled as he remembered their ride to her home they played afew times. He enjoyed the time they spent away from home. Their loving was random at most but graduly dropped away the futher she became in pregnancy. Still they simply toyed with each other to keep close but never did much more than that.
She was currently alittle more than halfway through and sleeping against him. They would be home in an hour or so and he was looking forward to being home again. All this time away was good but he was now missing the heat of the realm he was born in. He yawned again and curled up against her alittle more and smiled as he caressed her softly.

Willow was helped out of the transport by Novakon and rested her hand on her stomach. “It was a lovely 3 month trip… but it’s good to be home.” She said to him. She took his arm as he helped walk her inside the palace. Servants came rushing when they arrived, “My lord! You’ve got a visitor” She said as Avalon had arrived and was in a guest room holding her little son in her arms. Willow looked at the servant, “Who?” She asked as the servant smiled, “The Divine herself… she arrived yesterday with news that the one we’ve been looking for isn’t the guy. She said Talon Silvershadow Maelthra’s most wanted is innocent… and the best part is… we just got word that both Talon and Princess Rose have been found and are on their way here right now.” She said. Willow smiled, “Where where they? Is Rose okay?” She asked as the maid shook her head, “I don’t know, I just know they were found just inside the border of the fire domain.”
Avalon looked down at her infant son whom she held in her arms. Words couldn’t express the misery she was feeling from having had to leave her other son behind. She was torn inside, Zarius was her son and she loved him but it didn’t change the fact she felt like she had abandoned him. All she could hope now was that Anaky would look after her son, and keep in communication with her and eventually get her son back. She stared down into her sons eyes, one green one silver and then leaned in and kissed his forehead. “…I think… I finally have a name for you… little Orion” She said lifting her hand to stroke his hair. “What do I do now little one… where do we hide?”
Rose struggled a bit against the soldier who was carrying her, “No you don’t understand he didn’t take me, he didn’t do it! He’s been trying to bring me home this whole time. Someone else took me away. He’s taken care of me and protected me from the people who kept attacking me and I love him. You need to let him go” She cried out as she flailed her arms having her energy back. “I’m going to tell me Daddy all about it, and you’ll see, he’ll be okay to be free”

Talon was yanked by a chain around his neck. He was practically dragged all the way to the palace. Once he was there he was forced to his knees by the soldiers who had drug him along. The one holding rose tried to calm her. "We have orders Princess. I am sorry." Talon looked up to Rose and pleaded with her to calm herself. He was hit across his face for staring at her. "Have Manners scum!" Talon dripped blood on the floor before closing his eyes. He was sure this was it. Nothing would change the Fire Lord's mind. He was damned to die here because of a crime he never committed. He was the one who had saved Novakon's daughter, not for the hopes of saving his own life, but because the poor girl needed him..the way he had needed Avalon before she left him in his worst hour.
Talon was hit in the back of the head hard enough to make the servants cringe. He was now laying on the marble floor of the Walk way to the palace. They were waiting just outside the palace with Talon while Rose was carried in. The guard would report to Novakon bout their find. Talon was sweating, tired, and physically drained. Nothing could make this day worse...no there was one thing. He closed his eyes tightly and struggled to not think about what could have happened. "Aval-" The guard kicked him in the ribs.
"Stop talking!" The guard said.

He smiled as he walked with his wife back to the palace. Then they were set upon by one of the servants with some rather wild news. His palace was now holding the divine herself. Willow could feel a dislike form in him instantly. She knew he had no faith in her and didn't for some time. Hope swelled as well as hatred and vengence when he was told the other news. Talon had been caught at the border entering the kingdom with his daughter. He turned to her and scooped her into his arms.
He made sure she was safe in his arms and he practincly ran the rest of the way. Around afew corners once inside still makeing sure she was safe. He slowed to a stop in the main chamber where all buisness was held. He walked to the thrones and gently sat her down. " I hope you are ready to temper me. This is going to get bad. " He kissed her softly before turning to the gaurds. " Bring them to me...all of them. My daughter, the prisoner and the divine. And do it quickly. " He reached behind his throne and pulled forth his sword, strapping it to his waist. Then he removed his cloak he had been wearing and prepared for what was to come. He turned then and sat down, eyes darting left and right. What was about to happen he didn't know, he couldn't wait to see his little girl.

Rose struggled against the guard as she cried out, “Please don’t hurt him!” Guards came and told them that Novakon was ordering Talon and Rose into the throne room. Rose was about to break into tears, “Please! Let me near him!” She gasped as the soldier lifted her up as she struggled again. Rose was brought in first since she was the easier to move, she was brought in sobbing, “Let him go!” She cried out and then she was set down on her feet. “Rose!” Willow cried out as Rose turned slightly to see both Willow and Novakon. “….DADDY!!” She cried out, pushing the soldier back hard enough to level him as she ran towards her Father. “Daddy!! Daddy!! Please!! Let him go! It wasn’t him!! He didn’t do anything wrong! He saved me!”
Willow couldn’t believe Rose was actually alive. After all this time and all these months she was sure Rose had been killed and was relieved to see she lived. Willow smiled remaining sitting because her stomach had grown large in pregnancy. She was thankful to see rose safe but Rose was saying that he didn’t do it, it wasn’t him. Did she mean Talon? Did Talon save her? Willow looked up to see Talon brought in finally and she knew right away it wasn’t him. Her eyes were on his guardian tattoo, the ice drathir she’d seen didn’t have one yet they looked very similar. “Nova... Nova… that’s not… him…” She said softly.
Avalon sat on the bed in the guest room she’d been shown to and was holding her little infant son against her. She had started to feed her son when a guard entered and then lowered his eyes quickly, “I’m sorry my Lady but Lord Fire has requested you in the throne room.” He said as she nodded slowly, “I will be down in a moment my son needs to feed” She said as he nodded and then left the room. She looked down at Orion and then got a strange feeling, “…Talon?” She said softly feeling like he was near. “Eat my little one… we must hurry.”

Talon was drug in by his bound wrists. he was forced to his knees with a small gasp. The Draco Stone shackles all but draining him dry. He kept his head lowered as the guards forced him down before Lord Novakon. "Lord Fire, This is the culprit who had kidnapped and had Princess Rose in his arms the moment we found him. He was beat up badly and we think he fought her at the last moment." Talon lifted his head to try and see Novakon only to be slammed into the ground by one of the guard's boots. "Do not lift your head scumbag!" It was obvious the guards had hated him as much as the people of this domain.
Talon's body was soaked in sweat. The fire domain exhausting him physically and now the guards were beating his already bruised body. He swallowed hard thirsty and drying out quickly. His inner ice slowly being removed from him as the shackles would drain more. He wouldn't die from them or the heat alone but combined he would ride death's edge for a long while before perishing. "Lord Fire, what would you have us do with him?"

He couldn't stay seated. the moment he saw his little girl he was up and halfway across the chamber. Meeting her halfway and scooping her into his arms. Tears falling down his face as he held her close. " My baby....so glad your home and safe. " He kissed her and walked back to Willow. He heard what was said around him. He smiled and knelt for Willow, so she could be able to reach Rose. With her there he couldn't help but keep himself level headed.
He looked into his daughters eyes. He heard what Willow said. " Rose, stay with mommy. " He put her down and put her hand in Willows. He stood and turned. His hands clenched into tight fists as he walked to where his gaurds held Talon. He remembered a feeling from the trial. But that feeling had left when things went down. " Stand him up and quite beating him. You should know better than to treat a prisoner in such a manner before I give my orders. And remove the shackles, i don't think he'll be stupid enough to try anything in his condition. " He finally stopped and when Talon had been lifted he simply kept a stone face.
He stared into the now shackle free ice drathirs eyes. " I'm going to ask simple questions. Answer them honestly or i'll kill you myself. " He breathed in slowly and out. " Did you take my daughter? Why risk returning here, with her when the chance of death is so high? Did you kill my son? And are you truely innocent of what you have been accused? " His hand rested on his sword hilt as he waited the answers to these questions. " Speak simple answers but speak your mind. " He knew his gaurds were standing with weapons ready should anything happen.

Rose was now with Willow and her cheeks were wet from tears, “Daddy! Listen to me! He didn’t do it! Talon saved me and has been protecting me this whole time. He showed me how to use my fire power and he even fought off acids and a scary ice man who tried to kill us. The same ice man who took me from my room.” She said as Willow put her hand against the back of Roses head, “Novakon stop… he’s not the one… the one who attacked me looked like him but it wasn’t him… he didn’t have that tattoo. This isn’t him…” She said Rose whimpered hoping this time her father heard their words. “Please don’t hurt him anymore… I love him daddy” She pleaded.
Willow was worried, her free hand was resting on her stomach gently while the other was stroking Roses hair, “he needs help Novakon… he’s too hot you need to do something. This is cruel punishment for a man who did not commit this crime. Willow looked at her husband and then looked at Talon. She pulled Rose closer to her knowing Novakon was going to be angry enough to be in a blind rage. She didn’t know how else to help but wished the guards who beat him would be punished for acting like fools.
Something didn’t feel right for Avalon. She stood up and fixed her blouse and then held Orion against her, “I feel you…” She said knowing in her heart that Talon was there. She could feel him and her heart began to race as the guard outside her door began to lead her down to the throne room. Where she paused outside the doors hearing Rose inside yelling for Novakon to listen to her. She opened the doors and looked into the room, her son cradled against her, his little body and head covered in the blanket she had around him. “Talon is innocent… he was framed for all of the crimes against him… it was Oberon… He framed Talon, arranged for Rose’s kidnapping… and worst of all… had Talons Father hired to kill you Lord Novakon… but he messed up and killed your son instead.”

Talon was raised to his feet but he kept his head down. His eyes empty and emotionless. His hands, now free, he rubbed his wrists as he still felt drain. "Why does it matter Novakon. You believe Lord Oberon over myself. Over the evidence....I was not on this planet...nor have I been since I was a young drathirling..." He groaned and nearly collapsed from the heat. The guards grabbed him and held him up. "I didn't Kill any one. I will kill Oberon soon though....but I would request you hold off on punishing me for that...I brought Rose back...because I care for her...she is a brave and smart child...." He stood up on his own before looking to Novakon. Talon's eyes void of emotion, he had nothing to lose. "If You and I fought Lord Novakon...you would win seeing as my father has all but killed me and your Draco Stone Shackles have drained what was left....If you wish to killl me....do it no-"
His eyes widened as he heard Avalon only speak what he had just told Novakon. He turned his back on Novakon to look at his lover. She was holding something in her arms. He swallowed hard as he stumbled towards her. He was barely able to hold himself up but his tears began streaming as he struggled to move to her. He collapsed half way and crawled a few feet. He pushed himself up on a pillar before holding his side. He was a sad image of what he had been the day of the trial. Skinner, so Rose wouldn't lose her weight, and weaker from the troubles of the past few days. "A-avalon....is that you...."

He felt the emptiness radiating off of this drathir. He wanted to lash out, to injur but for the sake of his daughter he held himself in check. Willow and Rose both insisted their points. He didn't have reason to question them or their words. And he listened to what Talon had said. How pathetic it was indeed to see this drathir like this. And that old familiar sensation came back along with anger at the mention of him taking the word of Oberon more.
Before he could speak words came from another source. He turned and held his hand up to keep the gaurds from moving. The divine had arrived and spoke. He watched what Talon did, how he reacted. But then he spoke, alittle harshly for the likeing or need but he didn't have much faith or liking for the divine. " You are late. Speaking out of turn in such a situation isn't welcomed. But because of who you are i'll over look it. Now sit down next to my wife my lady. " He walked over to Talon again and griped him firmly so that the man would face him.
" You are pathetic Talon. So empty and eager for death. The fact you saved my daughters life at the risk of your own keeps you alive. With her and my wife both saying you have never been in my realm makes that even more so. I can't beleive your words because you are so broken. " He shook his head and looked too the gaurd that had brought the divine. " Prepare one of the high security guest rooms. Rig it with cold protection, with everything needed to get him back on his feet. "
He walked away from Talon, and to where Avalon would be sitting by now. " I belive my wife and daughter. You....i am unsure off. I haven't had faith in you for some time now. But it is apparent you are in trouble. " He looked at the bundle in her arms and smiled. " Talons or Oberons? " He asked softly so that Talon would not hear just yet. His eyes went from the divine to his daughter and to his wife. Waiting to listen, waiting for something to happen.

Avalon looked at Novakon in disbelief because he’d just given her an order. For months she’d been too fearful of the abusive Oberon who had made her second guess those who would raise their voice to a woman. She worried now for Willows sake and for Roses sake, especially seeing that Willow was very pregnant. Avalon knew the dangers of upsetting her at this point. She lowered her head slightly and moved over to willow and took a seat beside her, “I will sit with Willow because I choose to…” She had little Orion held against her chest as Willow looked beside her at Avalon and saw his little face.
“…Avalon!” Willow gasped. “Is that… a baby!?” She gasped as Avalon didn’t take her eyes off Talon, her heart aching for him. “Yes… Yes Lady Lightning it is… My child. My Child with my guardian.” She said as Willow looked up at Talon and Novakon and wanted to stand up and object. “Novakon! Stop it!!” Willow yelled getting upset. Unlike her husband she had all her faith in the Divine and everything she was capable of. “He’s wounded you fool! He needs medical attention” Willow gasped.
Rose trembled slightly, she turned away and buried her face against Willow’s chest and put her little arms around willow. She was saddened because she knew and the other’s knew Talon was innocent and yet her father continued to act like an arrogant prick. She started to cry and Willow stroked the back of her head gently. “Please don’t let daddy hurt him… mom… please” She said surprising willow with Rose calling her mom.

Talon's body shook a moment before his mind connected. "I pathetic? Empty and Eager for death eh?" His hair twitched before a sudden cold burst blew up around his body. He felt the chill running across his body as he lifted his head frowning. "You, lost your son and daughter in less than a year apart. I bring you you daughter full well knowing what awaits me..." He pointed to Novakon's guard as the ground 2 feet from his point froze and chilled the boots of his guard; Talon held back on purpose. "They beat me....nearly burned me..because of hate for my father."
He lowered his arm before stepping forward towards Novakon. He glared at the guard as they approached him. "Touch me and by the Divine I will freeze you where you stand.." He looked back to Novakon when the guards had stopped. "I protected and loved your daughter, still do, with all I had. I gave her my share of food, my clothes, taught her what you FAILED to as a Father. I taught her how to survive in this messed up world..." He coughed and held his hand seeing blood. Eternal bleeding wasn't good but he didn't feel the pain, fracture bones and brusing of his muscles in his chest weren't going to bother him.
Once 4 feet from Novakon he stood in defiance, a clear stance. "Where were you when my father took her to the Ice Domain? Hm? Did you bother going in and trying to find her? Doesn't seem like it. I am Talon Silvershadow, Guardian of the Divine. If you so much as bark one more order to her Novakon, I will put you in your place..." He sighed as his powered leveled ovver around 115,000. He was to weak to force his power any higher and that was even a strain. The area around him and where he had stepped had frozen.
That was when he heard Avalon and Willow's words. "Child....of your Guardian and yourself...." He blinked looking to Avalon. "My child?" He asked confused before ignoring Novakon now and moving to her. He stood by Avalon's chair and looked down at the bundle. "May I see the baby Avalon...May I see what we created...." He asked curiously before looking back to Avalon's eyes.

He stood there still, his back still turned to his captive and gaurds. He was aware of what was going on as he listened to those infront of him. And then he felt and heard what Talon did and said. That was it, thats what he wanted to know. But the fool made a mistake. What was a look of releif for the drathir went into anger instantly. He was told he had failed in teaching his daughter. Yes, he failed in protecting her and not teaching her soon enough. But he had to consider keeping his wife safe as well.
But even that almost ended in ruin. He had no doubt that he would beat Talon in a fight under the circumstances he had to consider. Talon just found out about his child and Willow and Rose were still pleading for his innocence. His hand reached to his sword hilt and gripped it tightly. He spun with the intention of talking the Drathir back into place. But there was another insult that was worse than what had been said.
Talon approached the throne. Approched his wife and child without permission just to see if he could hold his child. He steped back after giving a nod to his gaurds. His left hand came up as one tossed the Draco shackles to him. His sword left its sheath once he had the shackles in his hands. The blade came to rest betwen Talon and the Divine. " You just made the worst mistake Talon. You fell into what i was hopeing you would by letting me see the truth with your words. But you forget your place and you dare to approach the throne. I know you to be innocent now but for this insult....." He held the shackles out. " Put these back on, and then you will be taken to your room. There you will be given treatment for your injuries and time to rest. My gaurds will be dealt with for their treatment of you. "
Oh yes he was angry but thankfully he was able to control it. Willow being there with Rose ensured it completely. And then there was the fact a newborn was there as well. " You have this one chance Talon so don't blow it. Yes I failed in teaching my daughter the basics. I lost so much and i wanted to keep her with me. That in itself hurt her more. So don't bring it up again. " He waited patiently for Talon to take the shackles and put them on. " I can't abide this sort of action. " The blade was held low with the edges up and down. It wasn't a threat but a barrier of sorts.
" When you have been treated and have rested you will be allowed to come back down. I would imagine you and the divine have much to talk about. That will happen tonight after i give my judment on you. So please, put these on and go to your room. And in that time i'll be listening to what My wife and daughter have to say about you, and what the divine knows about you as well. " He clenched his teeth as he watched Talon and hoped nothing went wrong.

Willow and Rose held each other tightly neither of them liking this tension and anger building in Novakon. Avalon however looked up as Talon managed to get to her, he wanted to see his child but before she could do so Novakon put a Blade between her and Talon. She’d been living with the knowledge that Talon was innocent for a while now, as well as being in an abusive manipulated relationship with Oberon. She was guilty, feeling like she had abandoned her son Zarius and now that she could prove that Taln was a free man a hot headed Fire Lord was going to step between her and her purpose.
“REMOVE YOUR BLADE!” Avalon suddenly yelled raising her voice to Novakon. She stood and with one free hand grabbed hold of his blade with her hand but not hard enough to cut herself. “I could heat this blade and break it with my bare hands…” She said lifting it and then pushed it out of her way. “You being a fool Novakon Magnus. Kitiara would be ashamed to see you as you are now. Your anger engulfs you and you will lose everything you love because of it. Talon needs treatment, and he needs me and his family. You should be tending your own instead of throwing it out the window. We’ve got bigger problems then your personal vendetta. This time I give the orders… no more cowering in fear… no more being pushed around I’ve had enough of the in last 6 months.” Willow looked at Novakon and then looked away from him as she hated it when he was like this, and almost left him once because of it.

Talon blinked seeing his lover jump to her feet and in a rage. His sweet, caring, innocent little Avalon. He smiled softly cooling his own emotions as he took the Draco Shackles and yanked hard snapping the chain that held them. He dropped them to the floor before kissing Avalon's cheek. "I need rest..." He whispered before holding his ribs as he moved to the stairs. "Novakon...take this into your thick head...if you see me as innocent and believe the words of your family....why try and shackle me..." He smirked as he moved up the stairs and into the hall being led by the guard.
Talon entered Avalon's head. My love...stay and hear out what he says...I am only a mind scream away...soon we will have one another again...like it was meant to be.... Talon slipped into the cold room and sat down in the middle of the cold insulated room. Sure it was artificial but it would work. He slowly began to absorb the cold taking it in as quickly as he could. In this simulated environment he would be fully recovered in about 30 minutes.
