Toshiro sits back in a chair, listening to Noland has he speaks. "Being from a clan of highly respected assassins, I've learned to just shut off emotions for the most part. I have also faced a lot of grief and sorrow. I've accepted it is going to be a very big part of our lives until this war is over," he responds while Noland grabs some food and eats. Toshiro looks over at the eggs, a frown marring his lips. He watches the eggs as he listens to Noland. Once Noland breaks in speech Toshiro speaks up.

"It could be possible, but my father never mentioned a brother to me. I was also kinda young when he was killed in action. I can always ask Michael as I know Michael was the closets to my father. My mother...well she is out of the question," he comments, looking back at the eggs. He grimances at the thought of his mother. He should tell everybody else soon...

Michael looks at Morag and nods before standing up to move away. Pantera tilts his head, slightly confused. "I'll just be around the bend," Michael informs before disappearing behind a book shelf. Pantera edges closer. "It's been far to long. I see you and Michael have really bonded," he starts of awkwardly, unsure of how to proceeds with the angel. Everything is a mess and confusing to him now. He is unsure of where they stand with each other.

The wolf nods, taking a gulp of water; "its no matter. Anne trusts you either way with Akul. " He responds gently, brown eyes seem tired, "So these eggs, are they viable?" A pause, "I mean, I can't sense anything living through their shells." Granted, he's not a dragon.

NoLand pats the last of the tape into place before looking up at the teen from where he sits. Part of him.. "if you would have me, I'd like to make you apart of my pack too. Sort of... paternally?"

But then the boy is wincing. Had he overstepped? "Are you alright, son?"

Ammonia wanders from the bed, completely asleep; a breathy, "babies," leaves her mouth followed by, "my babies." To her open but unseeing eyes their magic is bright purple, and her outstretched hands pull first one, and then the other, close to her chest. The girl hums and takes one egg to the bed, only to return for the other. Abruptly, she curls around them again and falls into the bed - never waking.

--

Morag nods to Michael, only half listening to the other. "I've missed you. " Is answered, "um.."

[koi97]

Toshiro looks up at Noland and nods. "Yeah...just remembered something important. I..I know the traitor who did this to us. And...I would like that. To be apart of your pack," he comments. He tenses up when Ammonia comes out. He frowns, watching her. He gets up, moving after Ammonia when she grabs the last egg to bring with her. He leans against the door frame, watching her silently. He does decided that with the eggs he is going to save he will bond his magic to those ones. Three should be plenty for her and he doesn't need her being over whelmed by nearly 8 eggs bonding to her.

Pantera sits, setting the salad in front of him. "I've missed you too," he responds softly, looking at Morag with a small smile. The elf can't help but study Morag, wondering what changes have happened over the last couple weeks while he and Max were gone. Pantera grabs a piece of twine left on the table and pulls his hair back to tie it off in a low pony tail. He's tired of it falling into his fave and eyes.

"Just know that you dont have to do it alone. Tomorrow, after breakfast, Anne and i will induct you into our pack." He quietly locks the door, and blows out the lamp, the tosses a few more logs into the fire and then stills at the sight of the girl. "So that's how she found the first one. She really was asleep. " Is murmured as he lays a hand on the teens shoulder. "Toshiro, you know... I'm not a dragon.. but I am.. was.. a father once. I'm happy to help you and your mate. " Only older by a few years - eh.. just over a decade - yet he feels so much older. "I'll make sure the cart is safe in the morning too." He yawns, "Sleep dragon. You'll need it." With that the wild beast goes and shifts form again. This time however - instead of curling with his mate - he sleeps next to the door. His pack must be safe.

Anne had woken when the girl had risen from the bed, but it was because Akul was hungry. The she-wolf slips past the dragon and makes a bottle. Then, she stands by the fire and feeds the infant, watching the teenage boy. "Hey." Is said softly, sure that NoLand had spoken with the boy. "Are you alright? Really alright?" Red eyes glow with concern, and she comes just a smidgen closer.

--

Ammonia sighs her relief, not knowing that the eggs are now all the same smaller size. She pulls a blanket over and falls into a deeper sleep.

[koi97]

Toshiro doesn't move. He does look up when Anne stands near him. "I will be once I get everyone to safety and we save those eggs. I'm surprised...every dragon shifter had believed true dragons where extinct. Yet here we are," he whispers. He looks at Anne. "Thank you..for your help," he whispers. He yawns softly, finally feeling the exhaustion pull at his body.

The baby is set down by NoLand and the she-wolf takes a shaking breath; then, she is holding the teenager in her arms, a maternal hug. "You don't know, do you." It's a statement, rather than a question-

"Every weir hold, such as the one Joridan holds, has hidden dragons... and their eggs." She pulls back to look up at the towering teen (who is only a few inches taller than herself), "but only a weir who has lost their ability to shift, such as your mate, or a full dragon, can find them, bond with them, hatch them... and raise them. It's a phenomenon my mate studied before his death, Akul's father. " She is holding his hands in hers, "and dragons, or half dragons. We weirs, when we are allowed into a pack or clan - like Jori - are sworn to protect the hold. Where we are." Firelight flickers on her face, and she frowns, "I believe your mate has set off a chain of events that will hatch the eleven eggs that are down here. But loosing the ability to shift usually kills the one who suffers the loss."

Akul has quit cooing, having fallen asleep on the male wolf who flicks his tail over the infant and continues to snore. "Come with me." Anne invites quietly, "i.I.. I have something for you." With a tug on his hand she turns away, "it won't take but a minute or five."

[koi97]

Toahiro is startled by the hug. He tenses up slightly before relaxing into the she-wolf's hold. He looks at Anne while she explains everything to him. "That explains a lot," he whispers. He stares at Anne. He then nods when she mentions needing to show him something. "Lead the way," he says. He mulls over the information. It really does. It gives the eggs another way to hatch in case the parents have died. However he never really would've pieced the information together to know it was all related. However, were dragons don't lay eggs like full dragons. Like all were, they are born human and later gain the ability to shift. Or at least that is how it was with his blood line. "Anne...I have a question. What was your late mate's last name?" He asks, wondering if what Noland said is true about her laye mate being his uncle.

[Alpha*]

Anne leads him to the back of the home, she hesitates before unlocking a door - not because she doesn't want to show him, but because of the question. "It's ... it was.. ________." She licks her lips and unlocks the door; and walks inside.

She strikes a match on the back side of her teeth, and lights a large three wick candle. "I know we can see just fine, but um, I've always found it to be a bit difficult to see the finer details." Why is she explaining herself??

She lets go of his hand, her own shaking, she reaches above her head and pulls down a small chest. Turning she places it on a tiny table, her necklace is pulled off and she unlocks the lid. "These are all for you. For your mate.. for Akul." She takes one of his hands, and lays the key in it. Slowly she reaches in, pulling a notebook out.. then a small leather bag. "This book has all his work from his extremely long life, all his research and findings. You'll need that key to unlock the book."

[koi97]

Toshiro pauses just slightly when she says the last name. "Toshiro Cadmuson...you're my aunt.. Akul is my cousin...I have family I didn't even know about," he whispers, shocked by it all. He pauses, watching her unlock a door. He watches as she pulls a few items out. He is careful with the journal, eyes wide as he looks at Anne. He smiles softly at her. "I promise to take care of this...Thank you very much for intrusting his research to me," he whispers.

Her eyes are cast down, "you may want this, " she places the small leather drawstring bag on the little table infront of him and then there is another wrap of cloth, "the pouch has some sort of powder, he said it could make half dragons full dragons." She shrugs, "and that wrap.. it's the Sunstone. It's for your mate. His sword broke when he died, but the pieces are in the bottom of the box. " from the box she draws a signet ring, "and um, this is yours, clan leader. " it is essentially a ring that makes the boy king to the dragons.
