TWENTY-SEVEN:

Peyton addressed Melody as they watched the retreating Turquall. ‘Commander Melody you and Warrior Willian, please remain and get these guys moving faster, explain the situation to Heather and Kate. I do not trust that some official will not try to stop us, so do your best but get them all on board the Warbird.’

Melody with a nod and a salute of her finger to her brow assured her she would. ‘Done.’

Peyton looked around and frowned as she asked. ‘And why are they standing in the corner like that?’ She pointed to three young Turqualls standing together, one was snarling at the other two who were obviously younger. She started making her way to them with Rage and Rave keeping pace with her. She dodged around Turqualls and Warriors alike, while the others followed her. When she reached the three juveniles she demanded. ‘What has happened that you are arguing at this time?’

The oldest of the three snarled and raised his top lip at her. Rave stepped up and slapped the young male with a huge paw, causing him to roll along the floor coming to a halt three feet away and whimpering.

Rave demanded. You will be respectful. This is our Beloved. Now answer the Star Daughter.

One of the younger males answered. We are to go with the Star Daughter. Our nest mother will not have us stay any longer and she will not allow Kitolin to come with us. He wants us to stay, we are scared. We have always had Kitolin.

Peyton kneeled and hugged the two Turquall. ‘What are your names?’

The blue-eyed black striped youth told her. I am Tad. His blue-eyed brother said. I am Red.

Trina kneeled next to him and Peyton, placing her hand on the head of the Turquall. ‘Hello sweet boy, aren’t you adorable.’ She grinned at Darby. ‘This is the exact color of the outback.’ At their blank expressions, she explained. ‘The outback is where the sand I was talking about earlier is, and this is its color.’

Darby grinned in return. ‘I see.’

The older brother who Rave had knocked down was like all the other standard colored Turquall, Peyton saw immediately why he was not allowed to go with his brothers. He stood up and slowly, making sure Rave was not going to object, moved toward Peyton.

I am Kitolin, I am sorry I challenged you Star Daughter.

‘Oh sweetie, it is alright, I understand you are frightened for your brothers?’

I am! He stood and was eye level with her, he looked into her soft eyes and cried. We have always been together, but I must stay with my mother and pride. I will miss my brothers, they will be sad without me.

‘I understand as do your brothers Kitolin, and I promise we will watch over them carefully. I know it will not be the same as if you were doing it, but on my honor. I swear I will make sure they are not hurt and they will be wanted, loved and safe. We will make sure there is plenty of food for them both and that they stay together.
