Jyo looked up at Armenius. The dragon had grown huge. he had been right about the changes that had been made. But he of course wasn't even close to scared.It was still Armenius. Mabey this is the form the dragon truly had. A ring from her birth-mother that amkes Armenius grow. The dragon was already sharing a close link with her. I wonder..... He let his thoughts be pushed away for now.
It was Ember who spoke still letting all of them hear what he had to say. "So this is the true form of Armenius. At ;east if I am not mistaken. I see your talents for summoning are comeing to light. How interesting." He said

Grandpa said nothing but the light in his eyes said he would never forget this. Ziare smiled but her smile fell at Ember's words.
"What do you mean true form?" she asked. "Do you know anything about this? About my magic?"
She asked anyone could tell a bit of panic and hope was in her voice. She wanted to shine some light on her life that had suddenly become vague.

Ember spoke so only Ziare could hear him. "Remember. I have been able to see anything Jyo sees and I know everything he knows. He and I are one and the link makes it so when I am with him there is nothing that escapes my knowladge. Your marking has grown after you put on the ring and there are things about you that you do not even know of. And I am also well versed in the matters of summoning young one." He said with an air of wisdom not matched by anyone here in this clearing. "You have seen a sample of the full extent of your powers. keep that in mind young one" Ember said with the impression in his tone that he was grinning.
Jyo stared silently between the two. This was the first time Ember had spoken and not let him hear what he said.

Ziare looked up at Jyo quickly her eyes wide in shock. He knew something he knew something she didn't. She dismissed Armenius too afraid of him feeding of her emotions right now and the last thing she needed was for him to be angry at Jyo.
"You...you know something. Something about me I don't." she said.
She did not move towards him she was too shocked.
"What is it Jyo, what is it!?" she was angry and she was hurt.
What did he know who had told him, why hadn't he told her.

Jyo shot a nasty look at Ember. The Fir-wolf actually gave a small cringe as Jyo had the old edge he normally had when angered. He calmed down though.
"Ziare I'm not sure I am the right person to tell you this. But if we are going to talk about it I'd rather do so one-on-one with you." He said and glared at Ember again. Jyo had planned to speak to Ziare about this. But when she had been relaxed and when she was more ready to accept it. He looked at the okd man. "Would you please excuse the two of us. if Ziare wants to tell you later thats up to her but it isn't my place to blurt this out to everyone even when they are as close as you." He said.
He led Ziare to another clearing where they were alone and sighed. "I only found this out last night. But before we talk I want to make sure you are calmed down. It's something major. But nothing bad." he said and waited for a minute. "Are you calmed down?" He asked.
Ember stood there looking down at the ground. He was a wise creature and he knew alot. But he had very little tact. He had simply grown used to saying what was on his mind.

Ziare let Jyo lead her away but she was still hurt.
"Are you calmed down?" he asked. NO screamed a voice in her head but she nodded saying nothing.
She had to hear what Jyo had to say she needed to know. She waited expectantly.

"I can tell you aren't I can't blame you either." He said and then took a deep breath. "When I spoke with Thomas last night he and I got to talking. He mentioned how you were special to them in another way than just being family. Ziare. The woman and family who raised you are not you biological family. They are your family in heart which is the real important thing. But your birthmother came to them one night in terrible shape according to your brother." He said then paused and looked down for second. But he then looked back up at her
"Your birth mother died giving birth to you. The people who raised you never even questioned taking you in as their own daughter. I'm not exactly sure why they never told you. But thats all I know. I have the feeling that your birth mother had magic abilities. Mabey even similar to your own. And I have the feeling the ring you wear was one she owned." He said. It felt like he was pulling a nail through himself with each word that came out. But he had told her.
"I was planning on telling you. But not now not like this. Asking you not to be upset is completely unfair but please try to understand I myself just learned this as well." he said.

"I see." Ziare said turning away from Jyo and pacing around looking at the ground kicking various plants in her path.
She did this for a few minutes not saying anything she was beyond pissed beyond hurt. Child. Armenius's voice rang out. "Shut up!" she screamed out loud.
She didn't want to hear it. She knew he had known. She blocked off his voice. Then she thought about it she needed to get it out of her system. With a snap of her fingers she summoned the giant dragon and with her mind brought his face down to hers.
"How dare you! How dare you Armenius. How could you!" she paced back and forth. "You knew all along and said nothing."
She stopped pacing. She stood her arms folded infront of her.
"We are bonded d***it how could you keep something so important from me." He tried to speak. "No! I don't care."
She dismissed him with a flourish and walked about fifty yards from Jyo sitting down on a rock and cried.

After a few minutes he walked after Ziare. He took his time letting her have some time alone before getting over there. When he finally did get there he spoke as he gently rested a hand on her shoulder. "Ziare we all love you very much. More than anything. Well I do and I am sure your family does as well. You know that right?' He asked his voice almost cracking. This hit him petty hard to see her like this. She was such a good person. She deseved better than to have been kept in the dark like this.
"As for Armenius. I'm sure he had his reasons for keeping silent. And if you let him speak mabey things might become even more clear." he said softly. Jyo had suspicions that Armenuis had some form of link to Ziare's mother. He wasn't sure how but there was something there.

Ziare felt the comforting hand on her shoulder and heard the words through Jyo's cracked voice. She didn't blame him. It wasn't his fault no one had told her and she felt bad for having to put him on the spot. She threw herself into Jyo's arms.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry you had to be the one to tell me. I'm sorry I made you." Ziare said inbetween tears. She was calming herself down.
She pulled away and was quiet for a little drawing with a stick in the dirt around her. She wrote the runes for Armenius's name followed by the runes for her own. She had studied them in the library and had been learning to write with them. She wrote Jyo's name and put the word love next to it.
"Please don't leave me..." she said. It was more of a plea and it meant more than what the words said. It meant something more, it meant always and forever. She would never get along without him.

"Well I did say I would tell you at some point if someone else didn't. I just was going to wait." He said holding her against him. She then pulled away and started writing in runes. he himself had studies runes and could see what she was writing. he smiled seeing what she wrote.
He was quite for a minute after she said "Please don't leave me" It wasnt the words he picked up. but the meaning behind them. he gave a soft smile and alked over embracing her once more. "Never. Not idf I can help it. I'll be with you forever if I can. There is a saying I heard. 'I could suffer a thousand deaths with you by my side. But I couldn't stand to live one life without you' " He said.

Ziare smiled and turned to him. She didn't feel like crying but she still felt hurt by her family and how they hadn't told her.
"It still shouldn't have had to be you, I should have confronted my family not you. But when Ember said something I had to know." she told him.
She returned his embrace.
"I'm glad you told me. Do you know what her name was?" she asked. "Anything else?"

"Zarina. Thats what I was told. They sad she is buried in the local cemetary. We culd go visit her if you want to." he said softly keeping her next to him. He really didn't want to let her go right now. He wanted her to have someone right now like she needed.
Ember soon came from the trees. His head still hung low. "I am sorry if my words upset you lady Ziare. It was not my intent. I apologize sincerly" He said then turned to Jyo. "I am sorry to you as well my other half. It was my fault such a rift came between you two for that time." He said. He looked up at both of them It was clear Ember didn't want to sound like he pitied himself or so forth. he simply wanted to aplogize.

Ziare looked up and over at Jyo.
"Zarina...that was her name?" she looked into his eyes her own growing with surprise. "Jyo....that painting."
It was then that Ziare heard Ember make his appologies.
"No Ember I needed to know and it wasn't your fault. It wasn't Jyo's either if anything it was my families but they only did it to protect me. Though that doesn't make it hurt any less."
She huddled into Jyo's chest and was so happy he was there.
"I'd like to visit but before we leave not yet." she said.

"Yes I was thinking the same thing about the painting. And now that we have a name we can find out a bit more about her when we get back." he said. Ember then came out.
"Don't worry Ember. I wasn't really upset with you as the fact Ziare had been upset." He said. The three of them headed back to the other clearing to meet gradpa. Jyo didn't feel the man should be kept waiting there. "So are we going to tell him?" Jyo asked.
