Leo looked down, "Sorry, i don't mean to-" he said softly.he forced himself to meet Lucian's eyes and smiled, but the izzyness hit him hard and he swayed slightly, falling against the prince's chest and catching himself back grabbing the other's forearms. "I'm sorry, forgive me-" he said softly, one hand moving to hold his head, "I-nnn" his eyes fluttered closed as he blacked out for a moment, slumping against Lucian. "oh-" he whispered as his vision cleared once more, "Master-might i be allowed to go outside for a moment?" he murmered, his face flushed. "i need to restore my energy"

Leo froze for a moment at so suddenly being alone. the thought of making a run for freedom flashed through his mind before he forcfully pushed it away. the men who took him would lean of it and they would be able to use their spells on him to track him down and his punishment would be far worse than death. he took a deep breath and ran to the river, hurrying into the blessedly cold water. he oaused for an instant, his eyes closing in pure bliss as he felt the spirit of the water rushing up to great him, embrassing him like a mother her long lost child. Shaking his head, Leo forced himself to get moving, drawing on the spirit for strength and to replenish his body. she willingly gave him what she could and he whispered a prayer of thanks as her gifts sped his run and hide his presence, making it impossible for anyone, man, dog, or even mage, to track him.
he kept runniong for a long time, and he felt his body failing him, dispite the spirit's help. finally, in the distance, he saw a tree house and he forced himself the last meters to the tree's base. using the last bit of strength he had left he climbed up the massive tree and into the house, but he only managed to get just inside the doorway before he collapsed. the world swirled around him and he curled into a shivering ball, the cold water that soaked him and his clothing now a hinderance rather than a welcomed embrace. Leo blinked and tried to force himself into a sitting position, but once again he world went nearly black and he fell to the floor. he moaned softly and prayed that he was safe and alone, though he didn't dare hope for it to be true.

Lucian ran the opposite direction, running up and down trees and through whatever brush he could find. The dogs behind him were lost and confused, following trails that led to nothing and started from no where. Lucian kept to the shadows and fought his own body's screams for rest. Every muscle in him ached, but he wasnt going to stop. He sat in a squat in the brush, awaiting a sign from one of the trackers. With his body so tired he neglected to hear the tracker behind him. He pulled the muzzle off his dog and the dog attacked Lucian. The dog ripped into Lucian's shoulder, his teeth barely missing vital nerves and veins. Lucian gave a howl that echoed through the entire forest. The tracker threw a net over Lucian and pulled it tight. Lucian struggled, but couldn't fight. The tracker came close and smiled. "I'll receive one hell of a pay raise for returning the runaway prince. Now all we have to do is hunt down that whore who was with you and we can all go home." Lucian struggled and fought under the net, but the heavy mesh wasn't budging. One of the other trackers came over, all smiles, a chunk of cloth in his hand. "The kid got caught on a branch. One good scent and we'll have her. I don't think the king will mind if we seek our reward on her once." The guy started laughing and Lucian's heart sank. They were going to find Leo and he couldn't stop it. The hurt became rage. The rage made his power flare and he couldn't control it. The clouds parted and offered up the moon. It was full and it was shimmering. Lucian looked up into the moon and gave a violent roar. His body shifted and ripped the netting apart. The trackers lept back and started to pull weapons, but Lucian wasn't in a human state of mind. He slew all of the men and most of the dogs, devouring most of them as he sought their destruction. Once all of their hearts were thoroughly ripped and shredded, Lucian lept into the river and ran down it. He could sense the dawn and he could feel Leo out there alone and afraid. Halfway down the river, dawn broke and he let himself shift back to human form and he ran with all that he was. He saw the tree house and was up the ladder in seconds. Once up there he saw Leo lying on the floor passed out. Lucian lifted the male and carried him to the far wall where he peeled the damp clothes from him and pressed him to his chest. He wrapped Leo in one of the blankets form the bag and slowly dazed off.
