"Nothing......" she said, avoiding his gaze and his question. "So what's it like to be able to be whatever you want, whenever you want???"

"Not nothing." He sternly looked full into her face.

"it's nothing. its not important. It's my responisibility and mine alone." she said softly, tears running down her cheeks as she thought of all the pain she would be going through again in a few days most likely. She looked into his eyes as a single tear ran down her cheek. "i just dont know if I can complete the task without leaving for forever...." she looked down again.

"What task? What's going on, Brooke?" Ajax took her face in his hand and turned it towards him. "You can tell me."

"No I cant.....they said theyd kill me....and I just want to be able to come back to you." she said, droplets of tears running down her face. "As soon as I can walk correctly again I have to go. Dont follow me....Ill be back." she said, embracing him in a hug and starting to use the loose magic to heal herself.

Ajax's jaw dropped. "The moment I get you back... you leave? Why? They won't kill you. I'll be right here wherever you go. Anything. Don't leave!"

Brooke looked at him. "Trust me....they can and they will kill us. I guess you could come with me....but I dont want to put you through the danger....not to mention I cant lose you. No....its best if you stay.....the God wishes that I do this......he never said alone though......" Brooke covered her mouth. Ajax gaped at her. 'God? ' he mindsent. Brooke looked down. "He blackmailed me into doing his deed......." Brooke said sadly. "I couldnt refuse because the penalty was worse than my own death......" she whispered, tears leaking out of her eyes.

"I would rather help you than do anything else. I'm coming with you. You can't stop me." Ajax looked determined. "What deed? What penalty?"

"They threatened me with your death......." she said in a small whisper. "He's making me steal the most prized possession in the world.......have you ever heard of the Golden Egg???" she asked, ashamed.

Ajax took in his breath. "I mean that much to you?.... No, I haven't heard of it, and it's not your job to do this. I will fetch it, if you tell me of it. You should never put your life in danger for me."

"I cant let you go alone....if you are going, were going together." she stubbornly said. She avoided his other question about how much she cared for him. "I'm leaving tomorrow at dawn...you can accompany me if youd like, but I understand if you dont.....I will warn you right now.....there are 15 dragons gaurding the Egg.....they are the meanest ones in all the world."

"I'm coming. We'll get there faster if I go as a horse for part of the time. I'll bring some water and food." He looked up at her. "I have to go get ready, say goodbye to the horses and my pack. And my friend. Will you be okay to walk back?" He touched her arm, lending her energy.

She shot back the energy at him. "I dont need extra energy or help. I'll be fine. Look, I can walk just fine." she forced herself to walk without limping. She winced as her ankle twisted. She immediately took most of her weight off of it. She balanced on one leg. "Go on, I'll be fine....you forget my powers and that I can transport myself." she said, touching his arm. "I'll see you tomorrow." she said, stealing some of the open energy that was partially her own. She brought a gust of air towards her, still holding it in check. She found a flat stone and stood on it. "Okay....." she muttered under her breath. She grunted as she used more energy to lift herself off the ground. She started to sweat a little bit and lifted off the ground, heading towards her open window. She blew a kiss towards Ajax and turned towards the window she was approaching. She felt herself start to sweat more. Brooke gritted her teeth and jumped about 4 feet through her window. "Ufh.." was the noise she made as she painfully landed in her room. She slowly got up and hobbled over to her bed. She crawled into it and pulled her covers over herself. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep. She had a dreamless night and woke up in the morning..... ((okay now tell of Ajax's nitetime adventure......l0l))

Ajax quickly made his way into the forest. He would begin with the wolves. He shifted easily into a large, silver-black wolf, and howled lowly, mournfully as he made his way towards the pack's den. Questioning calls answered his, followed by yips and excited snuffles as the pack gathered around him, their favorite visitor, greeting him and covering him with their mixed scents-- the pack scent. He whuffled his news to them, singing the song of goodbye, but licking them reassuredly to let them know he'd be back, all while explaining in his head what was going on. He play fought with the pups and nuzzled every member, and finally made his way sadly on, leaving the pack to sing their mourning but hopeful song together. Trotting through the forest, he shifted from wolf into horse, a slightly tougher shift because it was from predator to prey. He completed his goodbyes with the horses, warning them he might not come back. They were all confused for a bit and tried to talk him out of it, but he stayed solid. Finally, he shifted into a human and ran into his shack to get some clothes before talking with Mary. (forgot her name^^) They hugged and tears filled her eyes. She knew the chances of him coming back weren't great.

Brooke fell out of her bed and groaned as she landed on the floor. Her body was still a little sore, but at least she could walk. She slowly got up and changed into a pair of silver and orange guy shorts and an orange tank top. She walked out of her door and ran smack into Ajax. Brooke, of course, was the one who fell.
