The egg

Egle ran out the building leaving everyone behind. Jolting down the street he whistled for his horse in the same rhythm. Calypos whinnied as she ran out of the barn, she had knocked over two men. Calypso jolted along side the running Egle, he held to her reigns, almost skidding as she kept running, he swung his leg over, the horse slowed down from shock, but once she felt her rider sit in the saddle she jolted fast. Egle steered and lead Calypso to where she had to go. He avoided civilians and other people. A man ahead with a vegetable cart was having trouble, for his wheel had broken. Calypso with an ease leaped over the cart, men and women ducked in fear, but she landed in a stumble but still in constant pace. Egle and Calypso were one, possible one of the very few best riders in his city.


Egle saw the gates closed, he shouted ahead to not close them. They tried to skid the big doors to a hault but the weight resisted the tugging of the 6 guards. Egle whipped his reins to pick up speed, in a riggid flash and just the perfect gap to fit his horse he was beyond the gate. People stood around puzzled of what just happened. He rode off kicking dirt and dust behind him. He steered his horse north, he knew that's where she had to go. He knew she was heading to the mountains to find that dead man... fool is all he could think.

A mile behind him, the door stayed open people trying to pick up their breath of the quick chaos of the stampede of one rider. In the dust and haste was Egle's sister riding a small mule, in a consistent trot and stubborn grumble. Gaurds tried to stop her but she just ignored and turned the other cheek. A man stepped in front of her, she did not stop, he tried to confront her into what she was doing. But, her big mule head butted him harshly in the stomach, the man grunted and stepped aside. She turned to only stick her tongue out and carry on.
 
Kami found a stream sooner then she would of liked, she was only a bit more then half an hour away from the city. However her little wings were getting tired, she had flown for most of a day then walked the rest. She decided to land and try and get the mud off her, she dived into a spiral and evened out and landed on the shore, she shook her feathers before shifting back.

Her arms were sore, her feet were sore, her eyes were even sore. She put her feet into the stream and sighed, it felt so good she closed her eyes and felt herself drift for a moment, she shook herself awake and looked at her dress, it was in taters and covered in mud. She didn't really want to salvage it, she would prefer going into her closet and picking a new one, but she couldn't, if she did they would stick her in a birdie cage until they wanted her dressed for her impending marriage.

She consider how to get the mud out, stick it in the water was the best she could come up with. She put the hem of her dress into the water and shook it to loosen the dirt. It succeeded in getting the larger chunks off but failed to get it actually clean. She sighed frustrated and shook it around some more, this was going to take forever.
 
Egle and his jumped over fallen logs and trees through the harsh forest. They did not follow a path nor a trail. Egle went in the direction he felt he knew she was going. Calypso heaved and stomped the ground with strength speed picked up, wind beamed into Egle's face as the horse ran her full throttle. The horse jumped from rock to stone going down a grassy hill, a cove into an opened space of field. He was now running at the ledge of the forest. Egle was now more furious than he should have been. The impetuous fight that caused an uproar made him annoyed at the fools that did not pay attention at their duty. Something that Egle hates more than men of Human alliance, idiots that can't do their job... Not with honor or reliability anyone can trust. At this point he wanted to be done with this woman, but, for the protection of his kingdom he felt he must.

In the far distance Mani on her mule still tailed her brother. The mule was carrying a large sack, possibly of extra goods that meant no good on a journey, but by her discretion were things of need. Mani bounced up and down for her mule to pick up pace, which were alike in stubbornness, just made a sound of stress still going at a trotting pace. She cursed at the hoofed creature and it just shook his floppy ears. Mani sighed loudly with her head hung back as she threw a tantrum on the animal.

"C'mon Davis... We are not going to catch up to him, with you being slower than the next coming of Rapidar!" she exclaimed, in descretion towards the god her house praised for. The donkey ignored her eager complaining and kept consistent with speed, nothing making him motivated to do so. She sighed again and just sat on her slow steed.

Kami had been shaking out the mud from her dress for what seemed like hours and it still looked no better. She sighed in frustration and threw it from her hands then got and idea. What if she just jumped in, got the whole thing soaked and then turned into a bird. She discarded that idea, she'd be even heavier with all that water.

She was contemplating her problem when she suddenly felt eyes on her back, she spun around on her knees, pulling her feet out of the water, to come face to face with a black panther. She felt her insides melt in terror, had she really just escaped the demon prison and all it's guards to be eaten by an oversized black cat.
 
Egle dashed onward still in pace. He been ridding for only half an hour, he felt himself run away from the sun light for it beamed on his back heavily. He was now riding on a cliff, below it was a stream wedged between two cliffs. He followed it, and knew at some point he'd reach her. He wasn't going to let her escape... Possibly tell her kingdom about the capital, or get frozen on the mountain because of stupidity. The horse heaved with every hard gallop. He soon felt the ground beneath him go into a slope his horse skidded down a hill side but once at the bottom kept running, it was his horse was in-sync with his feeling sand motivation.

Mean while for Mani, she just got up the big hill, having to get off her mule and lead him. She practically dragged him as he tried to resist her tugging and harsh pulling on his mouth peice. As they reached the top she leaned over her knees to breath heavy. The mule stood in a fit, shaking it's head and making loud noises. She whipped her head towards him, scolding with her eyes.

"Stupid half-bred donkey!" she cursed wanting to kick him but she just crossed her arms before her temper reached boiling point. She sighed as she looked across the vally of trees and many hills and cliffs.

"Oh boy..."
 
Mydar had been hunting the county side for hours when he had decided to get a drink at the small stream by the hill. To his surprise he found a red headed woman washing her dress in the water. He saw her dress and knew without a doubt she wasn't from demon lands, he knew all the shifter from the three houses and she wasn't one. Making her from the human area.

He shifted into his demon form, her eyes were wide from fear, she probably though he would eat her. He saw her eyes widen further when he shifted, he smirked.

"I don't supose you realize you're on demon lands?" he said to her blank face, she was reigning in her shock, he though that was ridiculous so he decided to get a reaction.

"don't you know we eat human flesh?" He said using one of the ridiculous human rumors he had heard and watched her for a reaction.
 
Egle was almost at a coop hill, where he knew the water ran into a wider part of a bed. He knew that the mud would wear her down and the first sign of water would make her land. He could almost smell the stream bed ahead of him. The horse could smell it too, hoofs getting tired and soon enough slowed her pace as going down the hill. Egle petted the side of her neck again with a stroke. The sign of flowers and flourishing of other plantation. Egle heard the stream get louder on the other side of a rocky hill. He started to hear voices. He slowed Calypso and pulled her to the side of a tree he jumped off her. He glanced around a tree to see the stream way. He saw two figures... One was abviously Kami because of her red hair and not so common coloured cloth... As for the other figure wasn't all that distinguishable since it was his back side. Long white hair leather armor...

Egle stared in silence before he caught wind it was the prince. Egle couldn't help but smile, knowing the lad personally, and knowing Kami was in run with a trickster. He will watch the situation until everything gets too hot...
 
Kami felt her reaction be pulled in, it wasnt a panther, it was a shifter. She breathed a sigh of relief until she saw his horns, he was a demon shifter. She didn't know the demon houses had halfbreeds. The human houses certainly didn't, they didn't value humans the way she was starting to think these people valued the demons.

Then he confirmed a rumor she had heard about demons, she couldn't help but gasp, "What!" she said and backed up, feeling the water on her feet again. "No, that's not possible." the little girl Artio had not looked like she was capable.

Kami kept that image in her mind as she stared at the Demon shifter.
 
Egle over heard the prince bug her about eating the flesh of humans... Egle almost giggled but kept quite until he heard more... He knew that he couldn't jump out around the corner just yet. But, he also didn't want to take the chance of her flying off. Egle peered around the corner still watching closely at her actions and how she took fright of his words. He knew that she must have felt some lie in his words, being in the city and stuck with Demon women. Egle felt bad for the woman, knowing that Mydar will trick her and convince her that a rock would be her enemy if anything...


Mani had finally gone down another hill with her slow mule. She almost felt like sleeping on the back but she knew trusting him to go the way she needed him to go was not very smart. Mani had smelt the stream and decided to take a break, stopping Davis and leading him now by reins. She knew having him going near the stream on his own was a big issue for him for when he was just a baby he almost drowned in a roaring river. Until Egle, at his teenage years, came and saved him. Davis and Mani have been attached since than, even though Mani was only a baby.

"Now... We will only stay here a little while before we head off." she affirmed toward her mount. He ignored and waked his tail back and forth from the pesky flies. Mani began to wash her face quickly, Davis feeding on weeds and other plantation he can get into his mouth. Mani looked over her shoulder to keep an eye on the not-so-trusty creature. She sighed knowing he wasn't going anywhere and turned her back.
 
Mydar kept his smile inside as he nodded grimly, "Children Learn very young how to catch and hunt humans, useful skill that." He saw that her reactions were real, she was to fast for it to be thought out. He wondered why she didn't believe her own rumor.

"don't worry though," he said, "I'm not hunting humans, I find no sport in it, they have no magic so they don't have much to defend themselves." he sat on the ground beside her, watching her. "Besides I find their bones taste awful even a day old." He almost smiled at that, this was always his favorite part of meeting new people, convincing them of something completely untrue.
 
Egle paused and waited for him to reassure Kami... Egle glanced a few times, the prince sitting next to her now. Egle decided to sneak around the other end, in hopes he could snatch her from behind, after she is in a more relaxed mood. Egle shifted into his form and darted himself, hidden by trees, to a shrub the was a few steps away from Kami. Egle now waited in slince hoping to hear an opposition that will let him jump in. He figured that she didn't even think of him chasing her down...
 
Kami knew he had to be lying, Artio would never-

Then she saw it, a quirk of the lip. He was suppressing a smirk. She knew the tells of a lie and saw them now, he was relaxed and experienced but he was holding something back. When she figured that out she almost smiled, she could play these games too.

"Are you kidding, bones are the best part." She had to bite the inside of her lip to keep from smiling and ending the game. She settled better on the shore, "Especialy a few days later." she said and raised an eyebrow.
 
Egle heard Kami toy with the prince back. He rolled his eyes in response but letted her have it. He knew that the prince would soon catch on, hopefully. Egle kept very still eyes flashing at her to the Prince, still unseen. Egle was ready to pounce any second and grab her quickly... But he knew doing it in an aggressive fashion would make her squirm and resist, so he sat and pondered. If he were to just run quick and grab her hands before she could do anything would be his best bet. Egle had waited for a while the footing beneath him was growing tired He glanced to the trees where Calypso was, he made sure she stayed put. After a long glance to the trees and no sign of a noticeable horse he rested his gaze back at the two.

He thought of the prince now, and how his distraction was becoming good use to him. He knows that most women, mostly demon women, are fascinated by his looks and presence. He figured Kami was possibly feeling the same way towards him which made him shake his head a bit.

'Women...As strong minded and vigilant they are, they can become the most distracted' is all he could muffle in his head.
 
Mydar smiled at the woman, he loved it when people played back instead of rolling their eyes and walking away, or worst of all when they just started ignoring him.

"No, the best part is the eyes, obviously, all those juices, delicious." He said and leaned forward, enjoying himself. Little did she know he could keep this up for hours. His mother enjoyed these games too and she used to play with him for hours on end, telling stories back and forth as if they were true. The memory made him loose his focus for a second and he shook his head trying to focus on the girl in front of him.
 
Egle became too eager and finally jumped out of his hiding place, before this facade went on. Egle opened his jaws and before he could clump down harshly he shifted and grabbed her by both hands holding them behind her back. Egle looked down at her with certainty and a bit of startled from his eager adrenaline getting the best of him. He tried his best not to restrain her too much but knew with the quick motion he most likely did. Egle glanced to the prince and back to the woman.

"I must take you back to the prison..." he explained, hoping the prince understands that she was an escapee.

"I still haven't found out about your position, nor can I let you run back to your city..." he mentioned more before he pulled her closer to him, about to walk away with her. He looks to the prince. He also knew he didn't want her to run to the mountains, which he knew was her general direction, but figured it was not worth mentioning.

"I am sorry Mydar, for the inconvenience " he tried to say in formality but came out a bit stern, trying his best to get the point across.
 
Mydar jumped when Egle jumped out of the bush and tackled the woman. He stood when Egle told him that she had escaped from prison.

"It was no incontinence, however the only thing she's guilty of is being on the wrong side of a drawn out conflict." He said, he knew Egle took the defense of the city very seriously however the woman did not present a threat.

"Besides, didn't your mother teach you, woman are supposed to jump you not the other way around." He smiled then, he knew Egle wouldn't take him seriously no matter what he said but figured it was worth a try. Maybe he'd even get a reaction.
 
Egle couldn't help but smirk a little, knowing the prince was one to take complicated situations into a lighter tone. Egle looked away the smirk gone and down at the woman before addressing back at the prince. He knew the girl was in a state of shock and didn't want to tamper with it, but it gave him enough time to talk to his prince.

"I understand, Mydar. I do know she did not commit a crime, nor would it seem she'd be even able to.." he glances at Kami again before speaking once more.

"I can't take a risk for our kingdom." he said in all respects. He knew that the woman had ran away, that there was a huge chance she wasn't even wanting to go back to her home...But, Egle didn't want to take a chance in being fooled. Egle turned away before going back to the prince with a reassuring smile. He had to get back to the city but he knew leaving his ruler in line would be rude and non courtesy... Even though he knew the prince, just by looking at him, would try and convince him to let her go.
 
Kami couldn't even speak, Egle the warrior had just jumped from the bushes and ambushed her, grabbing her hands, making it impossible for her to escape. And now Mydar was defending her, which was a good because it looked like Egle really respected Mydar. She thought it was best if she stayed silent but spoke anyways.

"I want nothing to do with your kingdom, all I wanted was to run away, now I want to go north, you have no right to tie me up, drag me through a swamp, and lock me in a cage with a bunch of crazy people." She said and tried to pull her wrist out of his grip.

She knew that she was over playing it, trying to amp up Mydar's sympathy and make him turn on Egle and set her free. Judging by how he had toyed with her a second ago it didn't look likely that he would believe her but he might give her props for trying.
 
Egle did not have to squeeze his hands to make her move her wrists. Keeping his grip she could tug all she wanted but it was only hurting her. Egle glared down upon her blankly.

"I'm sorry...Kami." he addressed her by name to show respects. He thought of the mountains and how the wind would take her life, let alone the fact she has no shoes, nor the sense to find shelter... Egle had a glimer of thought... Playing the idea of letting her go, in hopes she did find her quest. But, his heart strings and reasonable sense would not let her do so. Not if he went with her, just to make sure she did not end in her home. Which, in reality was possibly pointless for such a determined woman. He knew that she'd go to the mountain anyway... His mind was boggled with thoughts and ideas of what he could do with her, sensing his prince had interest in the human-aligned shifter. Egle gritted his teeth before closing his eyes and letting out a harsh breath to cease his bottled mind...

He made a choice. A choice he felt was rather stupid, but, knew the only way it could ease the both of them. A woman without a reasonable reason to go confinement , not end up in prisoner, but would also ease his mind about her being coy and turning against his kingdom.

"I'm going with you to the mountains...." he loosens his grip slowly in hopes she did not shift and take off.
