A soft breeze rippled through the courtyard, carrying the scents of blossoms and sweet azaleas over the freshly fallen rain. Lingering sky fluids lay, grouped in small puddles against the pale stone walkways, quenching the thirst of the vegitation that had begun to creep up through the cracks.
Soft foot-falls broke the silence, the gentle 'clicking' of heels sounding on the mis-shapen walk. Shillouetted by the sunset's marmalade, lavender and salmon hued sky, a slender, yet feminine form could be seen. She moved slowly, a shadow amoung shadows, scarcely a whisper of presence as she stared numbly at the small fountain, bubbling water down it's smooth lycan figures.
With a gentle somewhat resigned sigh, she knelt at the water's edge and graced it's surface with the touch of her soft fingers. A sorrowed expression accented her pale teal eyes. So much had gone wrong. She had lost so much more than she could have possibly imagined. Turning her face skyward, a gentle breath of air moved her long, silky waves of ivory and she frowned. "I've single-handedly ruined.... everything." She hung her head and allowed her eyes to go half-mast while she folded her hands in her lap. "Pushed away my precious daughters.. Lost love-- and watched the population of lycans deminish.."
A tear fell against the skirt of her thin, slightly-revealing silver gown. "What have I done?" She pursed her lips and blinked foreward before leaning over, against the edge of the fountain and furrowed her brows. "...What have I done."

((Ok!))
There was the soft sound of callused feet as a figure walked behind her, breathing soft and well labored. It stopped behind her, the sound of it's breathing seemed to stop. There was a shift in the wind and the figure's scent was warfted towards her, a scent that hadn't been known in the castle in years. Lupus...
It still seemed to whisper his very name through the area. Whispering like a thousand souls rejoycing of his presence. Whispering as though to tell of danger and wariness. But, the hand that touched her shoulder was soft and comforting. A lover's touch filled with such sorrow and pain.
"Syrenia... My love... Come back to me... Let this suffering end..." he whispered. "I'm here for you now..." he said, kneeling down behind her till his knees were touching her back and a soft warm breath could be felt on her neck as he moved her hair off her neck, letting himself take in her scent.

The gentle touch had her body tense. She'd been so wound up in emotion that sensing his presence had not been possible. When the voice followed a soft glowing warmth ignighted in the pit of her stomach. Slowly, she turned to face him, deep saphire eyes glimmering with tears. "After all of this, my love; you return to me?" Her voice, was a sweet whisper, like dew on roses, precious and delicate. She swallowed and reached out slowly, a slender hand gingerly placing itself on his cheek. Syrenia blinked a tear from her eyes and shook her head slowly, disbelieving. Lupus had returned; alive, thank the heavens. Her lower lip quivered and she furrowed her brows "Oh Lupus.." She un folded her legs and move to sit upon his lap, face pressed into his hair.

He hesitated but only for a fraction of a second before his strong, bronze arms wrapped themself around her. "It's alright now, my love..." he whispered. "From the moment you married me, our souls were together. No matter what happens to you, I'll always be your soul mate..." he whispered to her.

Syrenia reveled in the warm and safe feeling that crept over her heart when he drew his arms around her. She sighed softly and smiled, while holding his face in her trembling hands. She smiled softly as tears filled her eyes. And she said the same thing, that she'd said on the evening they'd mated. "I'll love you forever, I promise I will; You've got my world and heart in the palm of your hand, It's up to you what you do with them.." Her voice cracked softly as a few tears freed themselves from her eyes. She kissed his brow and closed her azure eyes before taking a few deep breaths and re-opening her eyes, and smiling.

He smiled down at her. The once strong, fearless leader now looked at her with tears swimming in his eyes. He leaned down and brought his lips to hers in a loving compassionate kiss, bringing their souls together once again. He pulled away and looked down at her with a soft smile. "Will you take me back? An old rogue like myself?" he asked her with kindness and a hint of teasing in his voice.

She was completely taken in by the kiss, and a soft blissful warmth bloomed in her heart. When the kiss broke, she placed a soft hand against his cheek and offered him a soft, loving smile. "......Hmm. Let me think about it." She grinned, teasingly before rubbing her nose against his. "I think this could take a long time.." She murmured softly. "...Of course." SHe whispered tearily, her voice sobering from its teasing tones.

He smiled and set her up on her feet as he quickly followed her, taking her delicate hand in his. "I've waited this long, my love. I can wait a while more." he said softly, kissing her again, much more softly this time. "Come, won't you walk with me like we had once walked together before?"

Syrenia rose gracefully with his assistence, pale saphire eyes trained on his face. She smiled gently and placed a soft hand ove rhis before sighing gently. "Only if you promise to walk with me everyday until the very end.." She glanced at him, a soft and loving expression dancing in her azure eyes.

A true genuine smile crossed his face. He patted her hand with his other one. "Till I drop..." he said softly and kissed her cheek. "Come on, I have something to show you." he grinned mischeivously at her, a twinkle in his eyes.

She grinned and quirked a brow. "Do yeh now?" she grinned and playfully pinched his bottom with ehr free hand before winking at him and smiling. "Ok." She nosed his shoulder gently and grinned before placing a gentle kiss upon his cheek.

He gave her a playful "woof" of surprise when she pinched him then whirled her around and kissed her hard before grinning down at her. "Oh yeah... I have something special for you..." He gently led her farther into the courtyard, passing gardens after gardens till it started getting darker and darker. Finally, as they came around the last bend in the walkway, a glowing bush appeared, small, multi-colored lights danced around the bush and hid within it. He led her slowly up to it. "Garden fairies..." he whispered. "The rarest sight in the world to see. I managed to find this colony tonight just for you." he whispered.

Syrenia grinned when he kissed her, and quirked ehr brows when he said he had something to show her. She smiled softly, and held his forearm, while resting her head lightly on his shoulder, simply indulging on being his again. It had been so long, since the soft warmth of truth had illuminated her heart. And now that he was home- she'd never let go.
Almost like a child's her face lit up when she saw the faries, and her heart fluttered. "They're stunning!" SHe whispered with excitement ebfore blinking ehr now teary eyes.

He smiled. "I thought, this being our night together again, that I wanted to give you something very special..." he whispered. "Something that would help you cherish this night, even if I do manage to give you my heart and soul..." he whispered to her, bending down to one knee as he took her hand in his, his eyes pouring into hers. "Syrenia, my one true love. Will you marry me?" he asked her, his adorable blue eyes begging and shining with true love and warmth.

She smiled, still watching the faries with enchanted azure eyes. When her love spoke, she pryed ehrself from the ithreal beauty and quirked a brow. "Mmm? My love, it will be permanently engraved in my soul, this evening- You didn't need to....." She broke off when he got down on one knee. her heart leapt and she blinked tearily. She expelled a shaky breath, and bit her lower lip. "... You will be in danger Lupus." She whispered defeatedly.

He looked conserned. "What are you talking about?" he asked her, lifting a brow and standing up.

Syrenia blinked down, tearily. "Lupus-- neither you, nor I are the true rulers of this realm..." She swallowed softly and turned from him, shamefully. "I have been informed that my true lineage is but that of a maid and kitchen boy." She hung her ehad and trembled slighty.
"My love, I am but a breath away from exicution."

His heart tightened and his breath fell short in his chest. His eyes opened wide and his hand that held her arm tightened. "What?" he whispered softly. "That can't be true! No! It's impossible! I won't let them take you! I will kill all who find out!" His voice had gotten louder with each word as anger surged through him. Not at her, just at the fool who had let this information out. His love, the love of his life was in danger and it now put danger on his little girl, on Rina.

Tears flooded into her eyes. "Please, just take Rina from here.." She pulled away from him, shame filling her heart. "I've accepted this; please, don't make it any harder than it must be!" She faced him, and tears cascaded down her cheeks. "Lupus, I love you; but.. I have tainted this place with foul blood." Her words were harsher than any wound she'd ever been inflicted with- but in her ehart, she knew them to be true.
"...they will find out. They will kill me..." She leaned weakly agianst him.

The strong, steadfast werewolf she had first met was there now. His eyes bruned with unadultered rage. He held her to her. "I will tell Rina to flee but I am not a coward. When they come for you, I will fight till the end. If you die, I die. That is the way our love works. Our souls are one, Syrenia..." he whispered, looking back down at her with his eyes filled with love and pain. "I will n ever again leave your side.."

Syrenia blinked at him, tears of anger and pain infused with the self-pitty. She too, was again the woman he once knew, strong, but wise. "Lupus!" She gave him a shake, brows drawn together, azure eyes pleading. "Do not ask me to see you die again! Do not!" She clenched her jaw and shook her head. "Our souls are one- yes. But please, do not make me live with the fear of losing you again." She held tightly onto his shoudlers. "Rina will not flea. You will take her. Take her to somewhere safe- the shifters, any of our allies." She swallowed. "This is my burden to bear....."

Lupus was filled with pain, tears welled from his eyes and he took ahold of her shoulders. "No!" he said, shaking his head. "No! I lost you once I will not live with losing again! Why can't you accept the fact that I want to die with you?" he sobed. "Please Syrenia, don't make me leave! Don't let me leave you!"

"Have I not endured enough pain Lupus? I love you- I truly do, not one moment of my life has passed when I have not thought of you. Of what you are to me! I have seen you die once; and it shattered my heart. Rina need you now- I am nothing to her anymore- and if she had learned of this.... " She swallowed and blinekd tears from ehr eyes. "Lupus. Take care of our daugher- do not be foolish. It would be selfish for me to keep you... please; Lupus- please just..." She closed her eyes and cried softly. "I love you. I will not lose you again.."

Sobs raked his body but he would be strong for her; for both of them. He took her hand and kissed it softly. "Alright my love..." he whispered soflty. "I will leave but I will tell you right now. I will erase every memory I had with you, forget every tie that leads to you jsut to keep my heart from breaking. I will take Rina somewhere safe and then leave her. She is tied to you and I will surely kill myself if I remember you..." he kissed her hand again, then, forgetting the hand, he pulled her in to give her one last passionate kiss.

Syrenia's heart gave a tight squeeze as the sorrows plagued her mind.She nodded to his words, though breathing became much harder as a heavy weight weighed down upon her. "Please, tell Rina that I love her." Her voice wavered, and she allowed her eyes to flutter closed when he kissed her hand.
Syrenia melted into the kiss, holding him tightly in her trembling arms while tears continued to trace down her cheeks.

((They should have one last....bonding moment if you get my drift...Poor things...)) He nodded but he didn't seem to want to talk right now. He lifted her up into his arms as he continued to kiss her. If this was to be their last meeting, he'd make sure it was one worthy of the Gods.

((I agree. I feel so horrible for them... ))
Syrenia, was completely intoxicated by their kiss, pulling all she could from this, their final meeting. All emotion- every feeling, the tender sensation of him; of her so immersed in him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and breathed in his scent.

He pulled away from her, his breathing heavy. "Can I have you, one last time?" his voice was husky, desirable and full of pain.
