Lyssan shakes her head numbly in stunned confusion. "Tamara? Passage? What are you talking about Rhea? What the hell is going on. Why does my old mistress have anything to do with Shia?

*So Rhea tells the whole story, from start to finish....including everything Kero knew, but leaving out what happened to Tam*

If anything should drive home the fact that Tam is truly not one of the family, this should for it is obvious that all three of the family have felt Shia's passage quite keenly and as all three have been out of the loop as far as Tahkisis' plots, they are quite stunned. Lyssan crumbles in Amestru's arms sobbing her heart out, while Keva begins to pace in a determined manner. Amestru looks at Rhea with a touch of wolf cunning. "So she died to save her lover, heh. Why does that not surprise me..." He looks down at Lyssan's head and smiles thinly, grimly. "Apparently she was more like her dam than we thought I suspect. Stubbornly loyal... and completely devoted. Is... did..." he sighs heavily. "Did he survive the backlash? Not many would."

*Rhea shrugs with her wings....but Lyssan and Amestru both feel a comforting hand on their shoulders...Kero's eyes are so dark blue they match Amestru's sapphires...actually beating them in opacity...and there is black there, for he knows of his guilt in this*
I am sorry...I know words cannot convey your grief...nor mine...

Lyssan whirls about in Amestru's arms, takes one look at him and throws herself at him hugging him hard. "Kero... I'm sorry... I thought... Mother of NIght I don't know what I thought."

*Kero hugs her back*
I forgive you, Lyssan...what I'm sure you thought was understandable...and I forgive you for it....
*Suddenly, he feels harder, more like steel than regretful Voidmage*
But I have at least taken vengeance on her murderer...Oathbreaker she is, judged by a mage...one third of the ritual complete...*Kero looks at Lyssan and Amestru, knowing that they know what happened, but knowing his words will show them his memories*....
Oathbreaker, I judged her, as mage of the Void...Oathbreaker once, by betrayal of trust. Oathbreaker twice, by the death of an ally. Oathbreaker thrice...Oathbreaker a thousand times, by the attempted slaying of an elderly and harmless creature out of hatred and malice...
*His eyes, dark blue, but mixed with determined grey, look at his two friends, asking them to complete the ritual*

Tell me... show me how she died, so that I too may invoke the call..." says Keveka from behind them all.

*Kero pulls him into the circle, lloking to one of his friends to add the priest part to the call as the scene of Shia's death plays out in all their minds*

Lyssan steps forward with an angry snort and adds her call to their own. Priestess of Lunaria, she knows ritual well.

Keveka steps forward. WIth no goal to his future save to serve those in his parent's kingdom, he was perhaps the most common born creature there.

Let it flow out of you, Keva...the words are ancient...older than time....

Keveka lowers his head and thinks for a bit, shaking hs head. "I... I know not if these are the words, but Oathbreaker I call her... as a man of the soil... Oathbreaker, once.. who has stolen my light, Oathbreaker twice, who has put self before many, and Oathbreaker thrice, who would doom the world with her hatred...." His eyes are blazing with fury.

*Kero's eyes blaze scarlet...and he pulls out his blade, setting its tip over the floor of his office...Lyssan and Keva find their hands drawn to it, placing them over Kero's emaciated palm*
Oathbreaker, we name her, as mage, priest, and common man. All oaths to her are Void. None shall give her quarter, and none shall give her sympathy, until she stands judged before all the lands. And when she is, may the all ruler declare her death from my hand!
*Now Lyssan and crew get a glimpse of Kero's other side....when one he loves is slain...he is the most dangerous foe to have...this author wouldn't trade anything to be in Tamara's shoes right now...*

Keva nods firmly. "You will include me in the hunt." he says quietly but with no hesitation.
Lyssan starts to reach for him, but Amestru stays her hand. He looks at his youngest, his eyes blazing with an inner light. "The road will be long." he warns.
Keveka stares back, resolute.
