Narinder was taking a walk when he got Ebany's note. He read it and immediately got ready to leave. The note said that Edan and Webber had turned into infants and they were in Silk Cradle. Ebany didn't know what the relics were aside from what they were. Narinder was healed enough to make the trek. Since the lamb and spider were infants, Forneus would be where they would go. It also said in the note that she sent. Narinder got his knife, supplies and set off for Silk Cradle.

Of course, it wasn't an easy trip since many spiders came at him. Narinder easily cut through them, as best he could. Narinder was still healing after all. Regardless he kept going and closer and closer. After several more minutes of walking, Narinder cut through the bushes at last! He was a little beaten up but mostly fine... until he saw Ebany and immediately got defensive...

"Narinder!" Ebany exclaimed. He got the message and found a surprise.

Narinder's eyes narrowed. "How do you know my name?" He was prepared to attack. All he saw was a stranger with Forneus.

Ebany lifted one of her wings to show him. "I'm Ebany!"

"Ebany??" He stared at her. That was a phoenix wing if he every did see one...

Ebany pointed to the relics. "One of those turned me into a lamb." She said.

Narinder looked at them... "What the hell?" He walked over. "Why were you messing with relics?!"

"Unintentionally! We found them in an old temple like place and before we knew it, one activated while Edan held it. It turned him and Webber into babies. I backed up from the flash and bumped into one and poof! I'm a lamb!" Ebany explained.

"Babies again..." Narinder looked over and saw that the lamb was about to wake up. Still cute as a button.

"Would you like to hold him? I'm sure he would be more comfortable in your arms than mine." Forneus looked at him. At that moment, Edan woke up crying. He was hungry. Webber chittered louder, wanting food.

"Oh!" Forneus oughta go get the milk! She quickly placed Edan in Narinder's arms, making him drop his knife.

"Hey!" Narinder quickly held Edan securely and rocked him.

Forneus went to her caravan to get milk for the babies. "I will take Webber from you, Ebany, so you can go find the blue bird."

"Okay." Ebany gave Webber to her gently and looks at Narinder. "Narinder, do you know where I can find Chemach?"

Narinder looked up. "In a ruin that feels of rot. She has 'followers' made of corpses...." He took a bottle from Forneus and started to feed Edan. Edan drank the milk happily. He was finally getting some food!

"Oh God... So that's what Edan meant by interesting... Caray..." Ebany put her backpack down and let Rune out. "Rune, stay here with the babies, okay?"

"No! Rune protec mama!" Rune protested.

"I prefer you safe here. Don't you want to play with the babies later?"

Rune was still worried. "Okay..." She nuzzled her. "Safe?"

Ebany nodded and petted her. "I have the Crimson Stone so I'm stronger than usual and I'll have Benjy with me." She said to her pup.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." Ebany up and puts her backpack back on and put the relics away. "Bye." She left. Edan looked over as he was drinking his milk. The little lamb reached over to her as she left.
