Guardians.

Let's go.

Trigger warning- swearing

Robyn slowly calmed down from her freak-out and was now standing clearing her voice and wiping the tears out of her dull blue eyes, "sorry about that guys, you shouldn't have seen that." Patton sighs looking away "Robyn, I would have reacted the same if that was Logan, you have every right to have reacted the way you did."

Patton pulled her into a tight hug squeezing her gently before letting go, she sighed looking them all up and down then turning towards the destroyed doorway, "let's go or we'll never find the others" she says the others walk and fall in behind her allowing her to guide them out of the mountains.

Roman Robyn

Robyn had been silently leading them down the mountains roman following in tow who looked conflicted as he looked around the vicinity, "you ok roman?" Robyn speaks for the first time in a couple of hours, her voice was coarse 'but at least she's speaking' roman thought to himself, "I don't know" he says hoping to get help but also prompting for her to keep talking.

"what seems to be the problem? I'll help as much as I am able" she offers kindly, roman considers it then gives way, "what am I supposed to be?" he asks and she frowns "what do you mean?" he gestures to the others "we know that Patton and logan are what you predicted but what about Virgil and I? what are we? and why is there this weird as fucking smell!?" he explains out of frustration.

Robyn's eyes dully flash with white and she pales "roman describe the smell for me" he huffs then does exactly that, "its a nice smell, but it's really strong, reminds me of a coffee while writing on a rainy day, you know what I mean? its a relaxing smell but it's so strong and I can't focus on anything but it"

she slowly nods listening to him describe it, "do you know where it's coming from?" she questions and he points to behind him, "one of the three back there." he simply says sadness evident.

She hums, "wolf." He frowns confused "what?" She looks at him smiling gently, "you're a werewolf, you can shift into one, it also makes sense to why a smell like that is bothering you so much. That would be your mate scent. We can talk to Thomas about finding a way to suppress it, especially since I'd think it would be Virgil" she explains softly, her eyes remained the dull navy blue.

"Robyn! Why is there a leaf tornado going towards us?" Robyn looked back at logan, Patton and Virgil all looking at the small Nado of autumn like leaves and she smiles gently going towards it, "it's ok, this is Thomas telling us where he is."

She touched it and it began to move further down the frozen mountain trail, they were almost at the bottom and the trail they continued to follow was going deep into orange and brown coloured trees like a permanent autumn forest. The further they looked the more colour the trees gained.

She stopped and pointed to the line where the leaves just went green "were going there right at the centre of it all" she explains to the others, they all nod and Robyn pulls roman along to follow beside her again ignoring slight wince he gave when she took his arm.

The tornado slowed as they followed it almost till they got to a slight clearing where it disappeared. "Where did it go?" Patton asked Robyn smiles gently taking a few steps forward before tapping at seemingly nothing.

There were a warp and distortion then a woman in a soft pink dress their pink wings tucked behind their back, came out with a sword, "state name and reason for coming here" Robyn nods, "Robyn, member of the royal court. I am here with Roman, Virgil, Patton and logan from out of the home." she gestures to each person by name each nodding or waving in turn.

The guard looked at each of them nodding, "where's the queen? she went with you" they ask and Robyn's eyes dulled even more before she reached out and held the other person's shoulder their eyes shining a pale baby blue then going back to brown, she stood back and bowed, "come, I'll lead you to Thomas and the others, welcome to home"

Robyn gestures for them to follow her as the woman disappears and instep, Robyn does too the others stop looking around confused "I'm confused" logan says as they just stand there.

Instantly some hands shoot out of nowhere and pull roman and logan in causing Patton to scream and Virgil to flinch jumping back hissing, eyes going slitted with a violet glow another set of hands pull them in and Robyn sees Virgil's slitted eyes and raised an eyebrow questioningly "did I scare you?" Virgil flushed embarrassment evident "n-no"

They walked following the other guardian guiding them as they saw tent after tent "how is this all here? Before there wasn't a tent in sight" logan says Robyn smirks, "it's an enchantment Thomas makes them with sam to usually strengthen it but it keeps us safe and hidden from the hive" she explains getting to the epicentre of the camp "here you are ma'am" Robyn nods allowing the person to leave.

Virgil ran his hands through his half buzzed hair, an anxious trait he'd latched onto from Robyn. He was thankful for Robyn giving him a hoodie he never knew what dysphoria was exactly until he felt the relief of the oversized hoodie on his shoulders.

Robyn opens the tent door taking a deep breath in and smiling "Hey Guys!"
There was a rush of movement from Virgils peripheral "Robyn! Babes, you're ok!" Robyn giggled into the leather jacket men hug "yeah I'm fine" "falsehood" Logan muttered under his breath.

"Robyn! We were so worried when we found out that the hive had followed you guys up the mountains we thought you two didn't make it through the... Robyn.. wheres sam and who's this person?"  One said they recognized as Talyn, pointing toward Virgil who shrunk into their hoodie.

"That's a great question to ask, where sam is I mean... because she didn't go through the erm... gateway with me.. " there was silence as they all looked to each other silently communicating.

"Wh-who the f-u-c-k is that?" One in an orange beanie asks gesturing to Virgil again, "this is erm sort of funny but the beacon malfunctioned and changed his gender... so this is Virgil" he shrunk back seeing the instant glares from the group of bird protectors.

One in a leather jacket and sunglasses walked over Virgil seeing them wearing 12-inch black leather boots "so your the ward causing our queen and other ward problems huh.." they squared their shoulders sizing the female-bodied male up.

"Remy... this is not the time to threaten the queen's ward, we need to be diplomatic and impartial, what goes on in her wards life should not change our view of our actions. We talked about this." The one in round-rimmed glasses and sweater vest said the sunglasses-wearing one walked out of the tent with a huff, the other one took a step forward.

"do you how do? My name is Emile Picani, it's a pleasure to finally meet you all"
