"Now there's the pussy cat that I truely know," Shea chuckled hugging him. Her dress was soaked and slightly heavy but she paid little attention to it. She kissed him passionately, his scent drowning out all others. 'This is the man I have come to love,' she thought closing her eyes. 'Father Grey and Old Grey Feather will be able to rest in peace now that there is someone I wish to be with for all of time.'

Drachen chuckled. "Oh so there is another side of me? I never noticed that, sweetheart." He chuckled and began to tease her kissing her back and drowning in her scent as it washed over him. He began to tickle her too.

"I'm not very tickle-ish," Shea breathed tangling her hands in his hair. She kissed him again with all her love. Her mind was clear of all things but of him. Then a single thought struck her. "Drachen... I need to return home. There is someone I need to speak with. If they accept, then I have myself someone to take my place as the guardian of my home. Then I can be with you for good." Her eyes were full of hope with the only person she knew who would enjoy the wonders of her home the way she did. "Will you be able to come with me or do you have too much stuff to do here?"

Drachen pouted at her remark, but smiled as they kissed again letting his mind clear to only think of her and the moment. He just wanted her close to him. He looked at her seeing how hopeful she looked. He debated on whether he could join her or not. "Well for the day I am fine, but as for tomorrow I might have some papers to do, but I can put them aside if I must."

"If its fine with you I'd like to speak to her now," Shea said climbing out of the pool with the help of Drachen. "Of course I want to eat the meal you have prepared for first, but it should not take long. She is a smart girl and I know she will have her family to back her up if need be." She sat down not caring about her wet clothes and handed him his share of the food. Together they ate it with several remarks of how good the food was from Shea.

Drachen nodded understanding and thanked Shea for her remarks on his cooking. He soon found they were off to find "her" whoever she was. Drachen had a clue it must be someone she knew yet trusted more than any of the others. It kinda made him wonder more on who it was, either a human or animal.

Shea led the way in dragon form. She set a good pace to where they arrived at her woods in no time. Below she could hear the voices of the animals welcoming her back the moment they felt her prescence there. She smiled slightly but pressed on, passing her home and landing lightly outside of Mayra's house. Upon landing she changed into her human form and raced inside to find little Vanessa playing with Dread. "Mind if I borrow her for a minute?" she asked Dread in his foreign language scooping up the child into a big hug and tickling her sides.

Dread looked confused but shrugged and Veranda looked up hearing her thoughts and nodding since she agreed to it. Drachen landed and shifted back following her inside. Vanessa looked at Shea. "Why do you need me," she asked innocently.

"I have a favor to ask you and you are the only one I trust most with it," Shea explained softly going outside to sit on the porch. "You see, I'm going away for a while and I don't know when I'll ever be able to return. I need someone to take my place as the guardian of these woods and who better suited than the little girl who befriended me the first time I met her. Plus you'd be able to talk to the animals and be them. You would be of more use than the others. I would've asked your grandparents or your mother but they are not the one I trust most." She looked down at the little girl who has been her true first friend. "I'm sure you will have the help of the others but you are the one who I want to truely take my place. As a friend asking another, will you do this one favor for me?" Hope filled her eyes as she waited for Vanessa's answer. Drachen moved to stand behind her and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

Vanessa stared at her best friend that understood her better than most. The only one she seemed to befriend and met first. "I shall do this for you, Shea. My duty is to ensure all life is safe and out of harm. I am one of the Great Senses so in the time of need I must be there for all. Even in the Battle of Dark Void. I shall do my best and protect them all." Drachen looked amazed at her wise words and choices of vocabulary. For a young child she knew so much. He almost felt sorry for her not being able to be like a normal child.

"You are soooooo cute when you are being smart," Shea cried hugging her again. A single tear trickled down her cheek. "Thank you as well Vanessa. This means alot to me." She stood up and set the child on the ground holding one of the child's hands in both of hers. In an ancient voice she began to speak. "I am Shea, one with the power of shapeshifting. I have been the guardian of these woods since the day I was left here by my family. With the power of mother nature herself, I give you all that I know of these lands and that of my home. You are the new guardian now. Take great care of these woods and they shall give something in return." She felt her knowledge pass on to the small child. Mother Nature seemed to approve of her choice for the next guardian. "I'll come visit when time permits but until then, do take care." She let go of Vanessa and was about to leave when she saw Mayra walk out of the house with Elvron.

Vanessa smiled looking up at Shea with gratitude. "I won't let you down and I'll use your knowledge wisely. You can trust me."
Mayra and Elvron came over kinda confused as to what was going on. Drachen just shrugged his shoulders,but stil in awe at what happened between the two. "Shea explain youself," Mayra demanded.

"I'm leaving and placing these woods under the protection of Vanessa, the one that I trusted the most since I first met her," Shea shrugged. Her dress was finally dry and she left out a soft sigh in relief. "I'll be sure to come and visit when I can but I don't think that will be often." She looked at Drachen with a smile on her face, knowing that in chosing Drachen she will have a little less freedom but she didn't mind. All she wanted to do was always be by Drachen's side from now on. "This is goodbye," she said turning away from them. The only person in her way was Dread. "Oh I know this ain't goodbye for you. No matter where I go you, you will still annoy the hell outta me." She smiled once before jumping high into the air in dragon form. There she waited for Drachen to say his goodbyes.

Mayra nodded knowing this was hard for all of them. Dread would always be in her shadows and he knew she'd return when she can. Vanessa smiled waving good bye after them. Drachen said his good-byes and promised Elvron that if he ever needed him or his kingdom he'd only need to send word. Afterwards he shifted into his dragon form and followed after Shea knowing his life was really changing now.
