Motono was walking along the road in silence he was heading to a meeting , the queen had sent an entourage to meet him so he could brief them on the work they had been doing . Zonta and the young warriors were all training working on their skills as they would be going to meet Amani in Northern Lunaeria in a place called Azyra, they would be escorting her back home once they felt safe enough to return to their village when Otaktay was finally caught or killed. Motono hadn't yet told everyone his plan to have Amani come to his village as he believed it was time she started to get to know the people of her birth village . Over the years the village had been populated by family members of the deceased who had been away from the village at the time of the mass-acre, she had just had her birthday she should now be learning about her village roots and take up the mantle of the village shaman and medicine woman. The elemental witches had hoped she could also be a member of their new council since she was the daughter of two prominent families and as such she fit the criteria as a member since she was now not only a human and witch but now a werewolf too. Motono also wanted her to finish her schooling , she volunteered in the hospital so if she wanted to continue working in a hospital Motono had a great hospital she could work in if she really wanted to. Since she was going to take up the mantle of medicine woman in her village it would do well for her to continue her schooling at his medical school which was a large building across the street from his hospital. Zonta was doing the same schooling and volunteering with Amani and would probably be taking over the position in her own village the girls were bestfriends since the day they had met Motono had seen how the girls had clicked when he had gone to visit his uncle . He had been about 18 at the time he had seen the girls for not more than a few seconds as they had ran through the village circle hand in hand laughing he wished now he could hear her laughter her crying face was burned into his mind whenever he closed his eyes.
"Mr. Greyson welcome to Azyra the meeting will be held in the conference room on the left" he nodded and followed the secretary to the conference room and took his place . Two hours later Motono couldn't wait to get back to his hotel room , his stomach growled it had been about six hours since his last full meal. As a werewolf he needed to eat a lot of protein to maintain his stamina and energy levels since the wolf form took more strength and energy than his human form. Looking at his watch he decided he would just order room service, he looked through the menu on his phone and made his selection then made his way back to the hotel in silence. He would be meeting the royal family in the morning he would be leaving in the morning to drive over .
Amani was restless she couldn't sleep properly she hugged Shay close to her "protect, no danger, sleep" the bird spoke to her in a calm yet serious tone. Amani heard the sound of humming , she could feel the particles of magic in the air "this is a protective barrier any magic eyes searching for you that mean ill will towards you" Rue said as she went into her bags of herbs. Rue went to the corner of the room where they had a small tea kettle to brew tea, she gingerly picked at some herbs placing them in two cups. As the boiled water hit the petals the strong smell of chamomile filled the room, after adding some honey to the cups she made a herb pillow of lavender and brought both over to Amani "drink this tea, I made you this sleep aide just place it under your pillow the scent will help you sleep" she gently handed her the hot cup before she went to get her own cup and say down on her bed. "I feel like my life has taken a crazy turn from the boring normal life I was living, it feels like my life is going to be even more crazy" Amani admitted as she stared down in her cup. Rue had to admit she also felt like her life was getting exciting now that she was with Amani there was excitement mixed with fear the was a thrill knowing she was going to take part in a battle that could be life or death for not only herself but her new friend too.
She had heard stories when she was young from her grandmother about the old gods the stories about the goddess who was said to be mother of the witches and werewolves there were ancient scripts that spoke of gods that were reborn every few generations depending on the life the gods lived as well as the belief the people had in them . Her grandmother swore up and down that she was friends with the goddess of all beginnings as well as the goddess of the trinity she wondered if granny Rubie had spoken truthfully if that meant that in her generation a new god had or would be born as well she got excited thinking she could perhaps meet a goddess or god as her own grandmother had after all it was said that the reborn gods always lived similar lives in some respect to their previous . The trinity Goddess for example would usually always be drawn to the woods and mountains surrounded by womenfolk aiding in births with hounds or wolves by her side possibly surrounded by witches as well. She knew she had her grandmother's diary somewhere in her stack of books maybe there was some sort of clue on what to expect when gods were reborn as a witch of healing she was dedicated to making sure the earth stayed as healthy as it's people. When Burnka was hit with sickness she had seen it in the earth first it's usual vibrant green energy had become murky and moss colored when she had tried to connect to it she had felt nausea take over disconnecting from it had not made her feel any better if Rue was being honest with herself she would say the earth energy itself may have been the cause of her sickness. Rue had gone to warn the medicine man about an hour after finding out the earth was sick , they started to work on their potions to make sure they could cure as many people as possible but in the end Rue became sick herself . Rue wondered if this was her destiny to look after the two wolf children and keep them magically safe while journeying with Amani lending all the knowledge she had in her possession to the novice witch whose own destiny may have something to do with being a link between the wolves and witches among her human villagers as their healer , shaman and medicine woman. Rue owned a few of her ancestors personal journal's where they recorded prophecies they had once had she once went through a few of them to compare if the stories ever were repeated there had been a few prophecies that had never come true or been verified as having happened . She had rewritten the ones that hadn't seemed to have happened every year she would reread them to see if anything had happened around her or if any of the travelers she had come in contact spoke to her about she had never confirmed any of the stories from her grandmother's journals but she did confirm a story her own mother had told her. The story her mother had told her was about a vampire that had fallen in love with a human but that human had given birth to a werewolves cub the vampire had in a jealous rage killed the wolf and lured the human to his castle where he then mated with her. She gave birth to a baby that was half vampire half human and before he could turn her into a vampire a rogue had killed her leaving him to raise their child alone mourning the loss of the only woman he had ever loved. That vampire and his daughter had stayed to themselves however there had been rumor's about them since she was a child so she believed the story she read in her own mothers writing. She was trying to not get attached to the children because she knew if Amani asked her to she would give up her dream of working in the palace and stay with Amani on her travels . She wanted the life of a traveler as much as she wanted the peaceful life of a recluse witch but at the moment she knew she would get swept away by the thrill instead of using her rationale which could be dangerous for all involved.
