Aro
I don't know what I was expecting to find, but it sure wasn't Miriam and her men being assaulted by the water. Seeing her tossed around and carried under like she was nothing sent a fear through me I had never experienced before. The only explanation I had for my ability to reach her and pull her out was a mix of adrenaline and help from the Goddess. Everything was a blur after that until we arrived back at my room.
She was so pale, and her lips were so blue, I was scared to leave her, but I knew she needed to change into something dry. I had left her against my better judgement, giving her privacy to change, while
XaviarI was shocked to meet up with the royal procession just at the border between the fire and water kingdoms. Apparently, Miriam had sent her father a message through the water sprites. Whatever she said to them had them and the King and Queen in a tizzy.

I knew it had to be Miriam I felt glaring and my suspicions were confirmed when I took my seat and caught her stare.She has no right to be angry, she is rejecting me!I thought returning her look with a hard stare of my own.

TylerI had been running through the woods to tire my wolf when I had scented fear in the air. I followed the scent to find a woman I recognized as Aro's mate being attacked.
