Murdok reached his office with enough speed built up that, as he tried to careen his sailing body through the doorway, he scraped the wall with his claws to keep from crashing into it.  Murdok managed to land on his feet and skip a few steps forward to avoid falling but as he reached his desk the sight of almost fire red hair and sea-blue eyes had Murdok standing almost defensively as he stared down his oldest and only friend outside his own mountain, “Arthur” Murdok announced and the almost wayward looking man began to plead with him instantly, “please Murdok, don’t take Rori away from Kristi… I don’t know how she fell into the Siren’s Song, but I swear to you, on my honor as a siren's son and an alpha’s progeny, we had no part in bringing her there… but we do wish to see her, is she alright?” Arthur’s question insulted Murdok, and he snarled at his friend, “ No thanks to your mate she is healed completely… you tell that, witch of yours to stay

Murdok watched Rori fidget with her hands and struggled not to smile as he thought about how much she looked like a small flame sitting alone in the dark, waiting for the warmth of a blazing inferno. Arthur sat back in his chair and tried not to notice his wife’s sudden nervous energy, “my friend we are honored you would invite us to your mountain to share a meal, it is not often we visit your estate, and we should really consider doing these things more often,” Arthur watched Murdok snort in amusement but the powerful dragons attention never left the woman at his side. Calder misted into the room and instantly to his master's side, “shall we serve now, great one?” Murdok glared at Calder and noted that the spectrul did not seem in the slightest bit apologetic for the gaudy display. As Murdok started to nod his head, he spotted an empty chair and a lack of orange energy at

Rori watched the familiar yellow light and, on instinct, she forced her hands out in front of herself as she felt a sudden rush of heat from above her.  Rori looked up in time to see more than ten small flits in a cluster descend upon the table, as the large firefly looking creatures hovered over the surface of the table Arthur, Kristi, and Mason all pushed themselves as far away from their seats as possible, “don't worry I will take care of these pests,” Mina announced and as Rori watched a yellow glowing ball of energy, appear she heard the sound of Andy’s voice behind her, “she aim’n ta git the flits the way she aim’n to break the chain,” he said with desperation behind his small voice and Rori pointed her finger at Mina, but before she could say anything Murdok calmly wiped his mouth with the back of his enormous hand and stood, “ You will leave the beings in this mountain alone witch, they mean

As Kristi and Max pulled Mason out of into the hall a young spectrul boy appeared, “greetings, 'tis Andy here to serve,” he said in haste and Kristi gave him a short smile “greetings Andy… can you get us some water, and sea salt if you have it?” she asked hopefully when the youthful looking spectrul put his index finger up to his nose and winked, “what if Andy had limestone miss?” The moment the words left the small spectruls lips, Kristi’s eyes lit up. “Limestone would be spectacular Andy, thank you,” she added, and the young boy bowed before disappearing. Kristi and Max pulled Mason upright as Andy misted back into focus. “Come, come,” the spectrul beckoned as he led the trio into a small sitting room.  Kristi and Max gently dropped Mason onto a small loveseat and collapsed across from him in armchairs. Max let his head droop between his knees and began rubbi

Arthur followed Murdok as closely as he could and arrived at the threshold of chaos moments after his friend, Arthur’s jaw dropped at the sight in front of him. His daughter was holding her twin captive in some kind of a purple tornado of light and water. Andy stood in front of Rori and Destiny as the two girls clutched one another in fear. Max ran to Arthur, “Alpha, I can't make her stop I don't know what to do please… help me” the grown man cried and Arthur shook his head, “I have never seen her do this before, what happened?” he asked and when Max glanced toward Rori Arthur pinched his nose and started strolling slowly into the room. Max tried to go after him, but Murdok set his heavy hand on the distressed werewolf’s shoulder and shook his head, “he will make sure they are safe… he is their father.” Max licked his lips and nodded as Arthur approached the unfolding storm.
