Ulak had nothing to say. He was clearly baffled. Ulak sighed grateful that the lad was alright and Shea had been found. Seems Drachen will have to wait to hear the good news, he thought. Without another word he went back to his business.
Mayra stayed watch near the door of their chambers. Her ears were on alert for any dangers that dared lurk near her. She stayed cheetah not caring of the looks the servants gave her.
Vanessa nodded to Herceg. "No need to worry she needs much needed rest. I'll tend to her wounds soon."

"That's if she shifts back," Herceg muttered. "There was times when she wouldn't shift for weeks. This time I'm not sure about." At that he left his mother's chambers. He slowly walked to his own chambers. His falcon perched on his shoulder preening his hair. He knew he should cheer up but right now all he wanted was to see his mother's smiling face again with her mischievous eyes.
Shea could hear her sons words while she slept. She wanted to shift back but she was so tired. She cold barely even wake up. Her mind was clouded as she fought her body. Shifting was very dangerous but right now if she didn't things will be fucked up soon.

Vanessa thought for awhile. There had to be something that could help. Was there a spell? Or did she have to wait till Shea had all her energy back. "Shea ilI am not sure what to do. Its been too long since I had this situation with you."

Shea fluttered her wings telling her to hush. Her eyes were closed but she saw a faint light in the distance. Slowly she went towards it. A bright flash appeared and Old Grey stood before her. "Shea child it's not your time to join me yet. Go back and fight for the greater good or else everything will be lost to the dark elves and annoying dark voider queen," Old Grey told her. He lightly licked her cheek and energy flooded into her body. "I'll see you again someday," she promised the wolf who had raised her. As soon as he vanished she opened her eyes. Her body was normal again as she looked around her. She was home where she belonged. Looking over at Vanessa she cried and grabbed the younger in a bear hug. "You grew so much," she said holding her close. Somehow she managed to pull of like nothing ever happened to her for the past week or so.
Herceg sat at his desk slowly going through his history books as he waited for news of his mother. His back was burning again but he paid little attention to it. Just when he thought his search was pointless he found an old legend in one of the books. It told of the fall of a powerful dark elf. His face turned completely paled the more he read.

Vanessa was squeezed by Shea surprised at how much better she looked. "Uh... Thanks. Sadly boys are always still over me. The minute my dad meet them they run for their lives. My mother supports me as best as she can." Mayra got up hearing the commotion inside. She began to pad around until she saw Herceg. She paused behind him seeing what he was reading. Her ears went back. "Filthy scum. Can't believe they'd try reserection stuff," she growled. "And by the way your mother is well again."

"Huh," Herceg asked looking up from the book. He hadn't heard Mayra come in. "Oh thanks." He walked over to his closet and yanked his shirt off and pulled on a his brown vest like shirt and brown leather gloves. He strapped his sword to his waist before leaving his chambers to see his mother. In the legend there told of a hero who had the mark of a falcon riding a grey wolf on his back. He wanted to ask his mother if she knew anything about that. Before he could, his mother hugged him fiercely the moment he walked into the room.
"You are in so much trouble when all this is over," Shea told her son merrily. When she was cheery like this, it literally scared the hell out of her son. "Just you wait, you'll be restricted the castle for a year running my errands and helping the servants with the chores." She felt her son flinch but she did not care. Then she turned to look at Mayra. Her cocked to the side as she stared intently at the woman/cheetah. "Got any coffee?" she asked seriously.

Mayra shifted into her human form sighing. "Yes the Shea can haz coffee. Let's head to the kitchen and I'll brew some for you."
Vanessa chuckled at her.
Drachen and Judith had arrived to the Ice Kingdom explaining the situation at hand to the king. Through the days that came they protected the kingdom all day long. Even though Drachen was bored and worried about Shea he stood his ground.

Shea sat on the counter drinking her coffee. It tasted so good. It's been so long since she had had Mayra's coffee. She set her cup down and looked at her son. "Do not ask about that legend for I will not speak of it with you," she told her son. "Things will happen on its own and the legend will explain itself when the time is right." She turned to Vanessa. "As for you do I need to teach your father a lesson. You are an adult now and are capable of making your own decisions now whether he likes it or not."
Herceg stared at his mother with a confused look. Somehow she always knew what he was thinking. 'I can never win when it comes to her,' he thought to himself.

Vanessa sighed. "He's a stubborn werewolf who wants me to date among the pack. He's sick of being a laughing stock and I fear the worse between my parents sometimes. I feel like I am to blame." She looked sadly at Shea. "Its why as a child I seeked love from others."

"My poor dear," Shea sympathized setting her empty mug in the sink. She wrapped an arm around her shoulder and guided her through the castle until she reached the waterfall. Sitting down next to the pool's edge she dipped her toes in the water. "I'll go beat him up. All you have to do is ask. Other than that, why don't Herceg show you around the castle. He could really use a friend. All he has is me and I'm not getting any younger if you know what I mean." Mischief shown brightly in her eyes but she dared not let the young couple see it. In her mind she knew Herceg was not gonna be like his father. He'd never be able to change into a dragon. He'd be more like the Wood Elves and become one with the woods. 'My bad,' she thought to herself with an inner laugh. He'll of course be able to shift into a dragon but he won't be a dragon. He'll be able to be anything he wants for the most part just like his mother. 'He just won't have my powers,' she told herself.
"Mother," Herceg slightly whined. A blush crept over his face as he looked down. He couldn't look at Vanessa without feeling embarrassed and it was all thanks to his mother.

Vanessa rolled her eyes. "He's my father I don't want any harm to him. I dont care how much he makes me suffer either. My father will not be beat up. Anyway um.... Seems like a plan," she blushed looking at Herceg. She hasn't been around the castle and she wanted to see their library. She was sure they had lots of books.

"Herceg be a good boy and show the lovely lady around our home," Shea said kicking her son lightly in the leg. She watched as he led Vanessa out of the room. "I am such an evil mother sometimes. Oh well the boy will get even with me later."

Mayra chuckled at her comment.
Vanessa followed after Herceg looking around at the structures as they passed by them. "So what exactly is there to show around?"

"Well the Water kingdom is well known for their waterfalls," Herceg said as he led her down a side hall. "The castle itself has at least five different waterfalls. The one we were just at is my parents favorite." He shuddered at the thought of his parents being together. Those two he knew should never be left alone for long or else no one would see them for a very long time. "But I prefer the my library," he opened a huge door and allowed Vanessa to enter first. He closed the door after hanging a do not disturb sign. "My personal chambers are just behind that door. Mother discovered my love of knowledge and wanting to explore so she talked father into letting have the library. As you can see I added a lot to the original design of the place." He showed her around his library. He also showed him a very detailed map with several books his mother wrote about her old home. "What do you think?"
Shea looked distantly at the pool below her. "Mayra I'm pregnant again. No one else knows and right now I think its better that word doesn't get around," she whispered after she made sure no one else was around. "Veranda you tell anyone and I'll skin you alive," she said not completely hundred percent sure the other woman was listening.

Vanessa listened to everything Herceg said. "Very cool. I agree knowledge is wonderful. All this is so amazing. Your so lucky to have this. I think this seems interesting enough," she said looking at the map.
Mayra sighed. "I can smell it well. Also can sense my cheetah knows. And why would I tell? I'd gain no benefit from it." She chuckled knowing Veranda could probably hear them.
