My god, the child is six levels higher than Jill, and she has a Focus of Beast Champion. Jill is blown away. Both the beast and Aurelia stop and become rigid. The small girl’s eyes dart around and then meet Jill. Aurelia's eyes look like saucer plates they are so wide. Jill feels her heart break into a million pieces. All the hate and anger she had been carrying since The Caste attacked, disappears. She only has love. Jill's face is wet from tears and she covers her mouth to stop any noise from the sob that rocks her body. She didn't realize how much she had grown to love and care for the small, wild child.

Activating her Silent Step skill, Jill jumps out of the tree and quietly places each foot with deliberate care so that she doesn't make a sound. She has leveled Silent Step up to three, and is able to move faster while using the skill. Aurelia adjusts her feet onto Thunder's back and vaults herself into the air and right into Jill's open arms. They are now both sobbing silently as the they tightly embrace each other. Wet kisses bombard Jill's face as Thunder stands on his hind legs, his front paws on Jill's side, giving her slobbery, wonderful lick-kisses. Using one of her arms she pulls the large beast into the communal embrace as Jill falls to her knees.

"Let’s get out of here." Jill whispers.

Aurelia pulls back and looks Jill in the eyes, her little face angry. The small girl shakes her head in disagreement, and then points in the direction of The Caste. She still has not spoken since Jill found her, hiding in some ruins, her parents murdered by The Caste. Jill stands up, takes the girl’s hand and tries to lead her away. Aurelia winces her hand away.

"No." The fierce, mud covered child declares.

It is the first time Jill has ever heard her voice before. She didn't think her heart could break anymore, but it does, new tears stream down Jill's face.

Jill reaches out and places her hand on Aurelia's face, there are little ravines in the mud on the girl’s face from crying. "Sweetie, you saw what happened at the village. And...I saw what you did. I don't want you to become that." Again, Jill takes the girls hand and pulls her in the opposite direction of The Caste.

Aurelia stomps her foot, and the ground rumbles, birds in the trees squawk loudly and take to the sky. Then one of the birds flies down and lands on Aurelia's shoulder. The small girl looks at the bird, then leans in and whispers to the strange creature. It looks like a reptilian version of a bat, with black feathers. The bird takes to the sky and all of the birds start circling.

"She is very stubborn." Jill hears a woman’s soft voice say from behind her.

"Nessa." Jill says, turning to look at the ethereal small fairy. "I'm glad you are safe. Can you please help me convince Aurelia to leave with us?"

"I believe it is too late for that.
