"You came through from Fewa?" Silverfall asked, though it was more a question of why than of where. "What did you..."
The silver mare's voice fell into a hush when suddenly she fell over, cramped at the stomach. Her eyelids fluttered as her eyes rolled back. She hit the floor hard.

(*scream* o.o )
Delta smiled at Silver Shadow. She turned to Silverfall and started to nod when she fell over. Delta let out a soft 'oh!' and dropped to her knees beside her.
"Silverfall! Are you okay!?" She held her hooves up to her mouth wondering what to do. She send her happiness vibes towards her as fast as she could, but it was unlikely that it would do anything. "Silver Shadow!" She cried, looking up at him. "What's wrong with her.
(Stomach cramps? Sounds like she's got her period to me.)

Silver Shadow turned his head in time to see the other collapse. "Silverfall!"
The surrounding elemental creature went stiff, surprised for a moment to see the unicorn fall. The sylphs, huddled closely to the purple stallion, looking down at the silver unicorn, unsure and concerned. He knelt down besides the silver mare, looking over her hurriedly.
The unicorn did not answer Delta's question. He could not think of what could be wrong with her. Could it be something happening with that Dark God she had spoken of? Or had something happened in the Darklands? Or her lost daughter? Or had the darkness taken her already? He couldn't tell what it was, but it must of been bad enough to effect the mare like his.
Silver Shadow diverted his attention to the sylphs nearby. Please, go find someone who can help her! Someone who would know what is going on! And hurry... The pair of silver sylphs, sensing the urgency and worry in his voice, nodded their heads seriously and vanished.
"Don't worry, help will arrive." He said to Delta. All he could do was hope that they found the help they needed...
((period pains? O.o Like Silver shadow would know anything about that >.<))

Delta started to fret. She drew in deep breaths in a bid to try and calm herself down.
She looked over at Silver Shadow and then to the door, as she was waiting for help to arrive.

Aellesar burst through the shop door with reckless speed, nearly forgetting that he carried anyone. He reared back, challenging, only then realizing the company. He brought his hooves down on the floor with a thunderous clang.
"What's going on?" He ordered the question, but was already moving past it. His senses trailed across Silverfall's body, searching as far as they reached now that his powers were muted. He could sense the terrible drain of power, but could not follow where it went. "Who has done this to you?" He shouted at her, forcing the one great skill he yet possessed into her.
Silverfall's eyelids fluttered again as a soothing, calm sensation spread through her mind by Aellesar's will, but she was not able to speak.
"What has happened?" Aellesar's anger turned to the others in the room. "Speak, and speak quickly."

Delta sat in silence next to Silverfall, still in shock because of the sudden entrance.

Aellesar tossed his head and gave a might snort. Pawing the ground, he lowered his head and closed his eyes. In his mind there built a wave of power that stretched outward, taking a nearly tangible, shimmering shape as it enclosed their small group right there in the shop. He could not form a complete barrier, but it was effective enough.
Silverfall gasped, inhaling deeply to catch her breath.
--
Suddenly the great draining force disappeared. Aellesar fell to his knees on the shop floor, having never felt quite so spent in so many long years. This feeling of mortality hit him quite hard.
"No," Silverfall managed to croak. "No, no!"
"You are safe," Aellesar managed to say.
"No," she groaned. "He has her. He'll kill her."

The sudden entrance of Aellesar left the purple unicorn rather startled, but after glad that it was he who had come to her aid. Yet, he found he could not speak a word. The two sylphs darted over to Silver Shadow, and attached themselves to the tip of his horn, looking over Silverfall.
The unicorn watched intently; he knew that Aellesar would help her...
The white bird followed quietly, settling down on a cardboard box, over looking the scene. He said nothing...
--
The unicorn sighed, partially relieved. But what Silverfall said, troubled him.
Seer listened with curiosity. "Silverfall," Seer thought to the silver mare, though he let the thought tap into the minds of the three others. "Who has her?"
"Set..." Silver Shadow said quietly, to Silverfall, though it seemed as though he was talking to himself, or the elementals. "It must be him, the Dark God... He must be the one your talking about..."
((most likely.))

"He has her. He'll kill her." The silver mare was sobbing, emotionally frantic. "He'll kill her."
"SNAP OUT OF IT!" Aellesar scrambled off of one knee, leaned forward, and brought his hoof down next to her ear. She did just that, rolled over, saw him, and hissed.
"You," she said, her voice dark. "This is your fault."
"My fault?"
"Your fault he has her."
"Has who? Who has her?"
"MY DAUGHTER!"
"Impossible! Who has her?"
"Setekh."
Aellesar was quieted by the name. Being a dark elemental, he knew the dark gods though he did not follow them. There was a part of it he did not understand.
"Set has not been seen in generations. I thought he was all but spent?" When Silverfall did not reply, he continued. "How in the Black Barn did he find her?" Still, the silver mare did not respond.

"Setekh has your daughter...?" Delta repeated faintly. She wasn't sure if she had heard the name before but she knew it couldn't be good news. "A Dark god...?"
she looked to Silver Shadow. "Would you mind telling me what's going on?" She asked in a slightly worried voice. "Maybe I could help...?" She added softly, yet disbelievingly.
Delta felt sort of stupid. She had collapsed on them , riddled with sadness and fear when not all was going well with the silver mare... She felt selfish, even though she didn't mean to do it...

"I..." Silver Shadow looked to the side; he didn't know if he should say what he did know about what was going on between Silverfall, her daughter and Setekh. A part of him felt like it was Silverfall's to tell; she would probably prefer to say so herself, rather than listen to him say it for her. And anyway, he may be missing parts of the story.
"I think the question would be how are we to get her back from Setekh if he truely does have her." Seer interrupted. He fluttered down besides Aellesar and looked up at him and Silverfall, particularly Silverfall. "So... that was the power I was sensing... The Gods of Old... A number of them have somehow made it to return, Setekh amoungst them."
He stared hard at Silverfall. "I think there be something you need to tell your teacher." He thought out to her. "With the help of the knowledge you know, can he atone for the fault you believe he has made."

The silver mare was silent while glaring at the strange bird. When she began to fully appreciate his aura, she backed down.
"I made a bargain with Setekh."
"What kind of bargain?" Aellesar asked quietly. In his heart, he had a sense for what she might say. It made him sad.
"To find her. I promised him the power of the Darklands."
"WHAT?" Aellsar was on his feet, furious and stamping. "Have you gone mad? Do you know what you have done?" His great chest was heaving with angered breath.
"I wanted so much to find her." Silverfall stared at the floor. "He has been taking what he wants, but only what I can give. He's holding her until..."
"You are not handing him the Darkling throne," Aellesar hissed. "I may no longer rule the lands, but I will stop you."
"You can't," Silverfall sighed. "The bargain is set."
Years of patience and tolerance for his apprentice quickly slipped away from him as Aellesar stared her down. He tried to gather his thoughts before striking again.
"Wait--how do you know he has her? Have you seen her?"
"Only in shadow," Silverfall said softly. "When he wants power."
"Lies," Aellesar spat. "Illusions. Wake yourself up, Silverfall. What if this is not the truth?" The mare said nothing, but her ears were up. Aellesar had made up his mind. "I will retrieve her. I will prove to you that this god lies."
"Where is she?" Silverfall was on her feet.
"Dream Valley."
(Preparing the jump to the Valley of Dreams. Whoo-hoo!)

Seer seemed to smile for a moment when Silverfall replied and she and Aellesar had their talk. He ruffled his feathers, chuckling to himself in his mind. He relaxed a bit, stretching out his wings and flapping them, for a breif moment, he felt like everything was going to be ok. Yet, the bird felt like he should wake up and pay more attention sometimes...
"Dream Valley?" Silver Shadow repeated. "Where is that?"
He glanced at Silverfall, wondering if she would go with Aellesar to this "Dream Valley".
((yay! ^-^ ))

"The valley is east of here," Silverfall said. She was a bit confused to learn the child had been living there, since it was a place she had frequently visited in the past. After a moment of hesitation, she snapped to attention. "Well, let's go! Let's go right now!" She made to barge her way past to the door.
Aellesar blocked her path.
"No, not you," he said sternly. "You've done enough damage as it is and Set will only follow you if he thinks there is something to gain. I will go. And I will return when I've found her."
"But..."
"This is not for debate," Aellesar insisted. "Think hard before following us. You put the child's life at risk." There was more to it than that, but Aellesar had no time to explain. "Use this time to distract Set. Stay here and wait for us."
"Us?"
Aellesar turned his attention to Seer. "I could use your help, friend. If you will join me?"
