"Lady Knight Brigham Morgan Hawk, please stand and give your review of the grievances done to the Werewolf clan of Largasha." Yelled Councilmember Shamus; angrily as I sat before the nobles of the Elemental nation recounting my story of what had happened for the loss of 2 members of the Emperors own family to occur.

I had been called to Anaygreii City as soon as I got home; in fact they sent a regiment of foot soldiers to make sure I came without an argument, they knew me too well. So there I stood in a simple dusty rose colored floor-length gown, hair unbound, with no jewelry, shaking with anxiety.

"The king and his courtiers attended a ball in my hour held by my father in order to find a suitable husband for me. He stayed the night and the next morning I was summoned to the siting room' by his highness, he wished to ask me for my assistance in finding the missing. I agreed and not long after that we were on our way to the Cloud Palace, it was during that time that I feel unconscious." I whispered quietly to my hands after that I went into detail about everything else as that had gone on.

It was terribly quite as they processed all that I had just told them, in the pit of my stomach I had a feeling that they would refuse to let me look into this. 'Oh God please let me at least me try.'

"Meeting Adjourned" said Councilmember Shamus as he slammed the gavel against his desk.

"Councilmen Shamus I believe these people to still be alive and I request permission to search for them." I whispered

"Lady Knight Hawk, do you ascertain that you with your few years know better than the Council of people gathered here before you?"

"If it were about any other thing I would deny it. But in this topic I believe; very strongly that I am right and would like the Councils support in this." I replied boldly as I stared into his angry dark grey eyes. He was at one time a terribly handsome man with sandy, light brown hair and lightly tanned skin. But the Magic Wars had carved a deep scar into the side of his face and created a fissure in his heart for his once wife Adelaide a She-Wolf.

"You may do as you please but, this council will not be a part of your antics and the blatant disregard you have for the De' Anacdi' in there obvious time of need." He growled

"They won't be in a 'time of need' after I find the Lost." I hissed through clinched teeth, the malice in his voice when he referred to their 'time of need' made my blood boil it was quite obvious that he hated the De' Anacdi and loved the idea of them being in pain. Slowly I turned and began to walk away too angry to be able to control my mouth which would not only damn me but also the people that I would soon be leaving to look for, three words were all I was able to get out thought but they were heavy with disappointment.

"Good day Council"
