Town square was littered with supernatural creatures, waiting for the last of the Elder council to appear. One of them; the strongest, was late. Nobody felt like waiting on him at that moment, everybody was irritated and angry, arguments were aroused and fights seduced, that is, until they heard the powerful, shout of the late Elder, "STOP!!!" He enlongated the pronouncing of the 'o'. Immediately people froze, not a single punch or word thrown as the Elder peered at the crowd.
"My daughter, where is she?" The Elder questioned.
Silence.
"Celia, where is Celia?" He asked again.
A fluttering of wings was heard as a fairy flew to the feet of the elder, "A nearby human town was being attacked by a pack of rogue wolves and fallen vampires, I predict that was her destination, you know how she feels when humans are getting defeated by our kinds." The young fairy stated.
Seething, his eyes changed to a deep red. "Myself and the Scales shall fight with the humans whilst Tiger Eye and three volunteers seek Celia!"
The Scales, Tiger Eye, Joseph, Fern and Dale all dispersed into the forest behind the Elder. Venturing through the forest to the town took mere minutes, though in their anxious state, it seemed to take hours. As they reached the town, they saw it resembled to a war zone, only few humans survived in surrender to them. The scales were outraged and immediately got into battle positions whilst Tiger Eye and the other three saught Celia, cataloging the bodies that lay motionless on the cold ground, searching buildings, and seeked in the forest, willing not to be seen by the enemy rogues and other supernaturals that they did not trust.
The search stretched into the night, and even a mile away, they could still here the clashes and shouts from the battle in the Town. Bags formed under their eyes from their lack of sleep and their bodies weak from no food. Their anger could be set off by the slightest things. Words were not spoken unless to clarify that she hadn't been found and that they are to move on.
Once the sun appeared over the horizon they had decided to give up but stay in their spot untill the day after to go back to the Elders and announce the search was dreadfully hopeless.
They kept to their agreement and the next day they traveled back to announce their search was unsuccessful.
...
"Sir Patrick, we could not acquire Celia through our search, we believe she was vanquished in battle." Tiger Eye stated sadly and with great fear.
Growls erupted from spectaters, though sadness reeked in the air.
Devastated, He gnarled, "FIND HER! YOU SHAN'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU OBTAIN HER OR HER BODY! DO YOU FOLLOW?!"
"I understand."

Through her haze, she could faintly percieve that she was being transported on a man's shoulder in her human form, sleep fought to overcome her. She attempted to fight it off as the trees proceded to elapse her. Although her strength is powerful and vigorous, her eyes decieved the feeling of burdensome wieghts pulling at her lids, shutting them temporarily.
"Silence, I believe she may be making consciousness!" A deep voice reached her ears as she struggled against the restraints that slumber had consumed her in.
After, what seemed a decade, her eyes fluttered opened, immediately locking with the silver irises of a strongly built man...
