Blood of Legends ((Kiandra&Mephilis))

Rune nudged Kiara, who smiled as she walked over to Tom, to wake him up. "Hey, Tom? Do you wanna come eat with us?"

Tamir looked up at Thyverian, and then said, "The energy blade that almost cut her in half, sucked out a lot of energy, and she collapsed on the way here. Which means she can't heal her normal way so Manus gave her enough of a spark to get into a healing coma. Now we just have to wait."
She turned to Manus and then looked back at Thyverian.
"Come eat with us, and then you can come back if you want to sit with her. There isn't much we can do right now. She'll be out for a while."
 
Tom's sapphire eyes slowly opened as Kiara spoke to him, he jolted up when he saw the female over him. "Oh! Hey, you guys are up... thats great." He said, sitting up from his purrito form. His long orange hair looked very wild from the lack of grooming it has received these past few days. "Yeah, that sounds great!" He says, standing up next to her.
"Alright, sounds good." Thyverian said, looking back at the door again, hoping the white lioness would just come walking out. Sadly, she did not, with a soft sigh, he would follow the others out.
As the others left, they would have caught a glimpse of a familiar cheetan male going toward the hospital. He would not respond to anyone calling out to him as he headed inside. He was lead to his niece's room where he sat by her side. Usually stern amber eyes filling up with tears as he looks over her motionless body. She was all he had left, the last of his family and he had failed her. Placing a hand on hers, Melorn would sit silently by her side watching for any sign of life.

It would be several days before Thomas and Seylian were called in for a mission debrief, Melorn was summoned but he ignored the call to stay by Cylesta's side. It would be several hours before the two Subcommanders stepped out of their headquarters. Heading over to Tamir's house where Rune and Kiara would be. Seylian, being familiar with Tamir would just walk in. Tom on the other hand, waited for the door to close, and knocked on it. Having been raised right, he had these things called manners.
 
Kiara smiled at Tom, and then led the way back to Rune, who was leaning against the doorway, a little tired. The group headed out, a little higher in spirits than before, now that most of them were up and on the mend.
Tamir saw Melorn, and almost went to him, but knew he was going to watch over Cylesta so she said nothing, but watched him walk in.

As the days passed, Tamir would visit Cylesta and bring meals to Melorn, making sure he kept himself healthy, which was hard enough to do. The medics said she was healing, and hopefully she would wake up soon. They had had to up her repressive meds, as her heat had hit two days ago.

She heard her door open and smiled as Seylian walked in. Rune and Kiara waved to him from the large couch they were lounging on, and then giggled as the door closed and a soft knock was heard. Tamir walked over to Seylian, smirking and winking at him, before passing him and opening the door for Tom.
"Come on in Tom. I was just making a snack, are you two hungry?" Tamir said as she led them into the house. She walked into the kitchen to grab the large platter of steak bites, spicy poppers, and cheese sticks, and then added a couple cut fruits to the platter. She nudged Seylian, "Can you take that to the living room? I have to grab the other platter."
 
"Hello beautiful." Seylian said as she walked by him to open the door. "Coulda just came in with me Tom." He said with a shrug as he turned to see the orange feline at the door, "Thank you Tamir, I am quite hungry." He said before his eyes fell on Seylian. "I would never enter someone's house without permission." If any member of his team heard that, they might choke on laughter. Tom was skilled in infiltration and has entered many a house without permission. Tom pulled the open sides of his coat back, placing his hand sin his pockets as he followed Tamir, seemingly lost in thought.

"Alright, fine." Seylian said as he took up the platter, heading toward the living room. Tom's eyes watched the grey male leave. "How are Rune and Kiara?" He asked Tamir, still looking through the door Seylian left. Something was clearly on the orange cat's mind, and she would have an idea why as the briefing was likely to address the issue of Tom's team which wa snow leaderless.
 
Tamir grinned as Seylian took the platter and entered the living room. She turned as Tom asked her about Rune and Kiara, and she gestured him closer.
"They are healing well. Kiara thankfully healed pretty quickly, and she isn't in any pain. Rune though, she's still moving slowly. But she's healing well, and is in high spirits. Why? What's up Tom?"

In the hospital, Cylesta opened her eye, taking a deep breath and sighing. She lifted her head and looked around, her mouth parched. She took in the i.v. in her arm that was feeding her fluids, and then realized her uncle was half asleep in the chair next to her. She felt a little off, and realized that she was cramping, and she closed her eye, knowing that she was on repressives. She sighed and then opened her eye again, nudging her uncle with her hand which was wrapped in his.
 
"Well as of several minuets ago, our squad has been dissolved and we are being absorbed into the Blood Hawks." He said with a bit of a defeated tone, the mental wound of that night still hurting and even getting worse. "I have been stripped of my rank and am actually lower rank than Rune now." Being family to the leading forces of the Ro'Kha was a double edged sword indeed. "I did manage to keep the girls where they are, pay grade wise, but we are all under Seylian now." A bit of an insult to be sure, given their much greater experience. "So yeah, not the greatest news, but not the worst, everyone seems tog et along with the Blood Hawks, more or less."

"Hm?" Melorn grumbled as he felt movement under his hand. Looking over at her, and seeing her eye looking at him. "Cylesta?" He asked, a hand moving up to touch her shoulder. "Your awake?" He asked, fur still dampened from his manly tears.
 
Tamir looked at Tom, and then nudged him with her hip as her hands were full.
"I know it's hard to get demoted like that, and sometimes it hits us harder, being family legacies. Our mistakes are usually seen under a microscope. They expect more from us..." Tamir got quiet for a moment, then continued, "But the Blood Hawks, they are a good team, and Melorn has much greater experience. And hopefully, Seylian will keep in mind that you have more experience than him, and listens to your advice." She winked as she said that, then motioned her head to him to follow her into the living room where Rune and Kiara were talking to Seylian quietly, waiting for Tamir and Tom.

Cylesta nodded quietly, and opened her mouth to ask him how the rest of the team was, but started coughing, her throat and super dry. Her muscles bunched, causing her to flinch, her other hand going to her stomach as the pain slithered through her.
 
Tom gave her a bit of a look when she mentioned family legacies, not asking the question, but just figuring she must have a family to represent in the military. "Yeah." He responded softly, giving her a nod. Listening to what else she had to say, nodding along. "Maybe it won't be so bad..." He said, looking despondent for a moment before having a smile come over his face. "Easier atleast, with all that responsibility on someone else's shoulders and I just get to do what I'm told." He followed her into the room, seeing his teammates, new and old. Offering a bit of a wave to Rune and Kiara as he took an open seat. Going through the motions as he pondered on how to bring up the topic of... their team's fate. It also brought a sense of finality to it, being the last duty as their leader, before he became their equal.
"Foolish girl, you should know better than to try to speak after sleeping for five days!" Melorn scolded her, with a less than angry voice. Reaching over, he pulled up a glass of water he had been drinking and carefully fed her a few sip. "Careful, looks like your not fully healed yet..."
 
Tamir smiled softly at Tom as he sat down and then placed the other platter on the coffee table next to the first. She sat down near Seylian, and joined the conversation between the three as Tom thought about how to explain to Rune and Kiara that they were now a part of the Blood Hawks.

Cylesta smiled tiredly at her uncle, and took small sips, even though she wanted to drink the entire cup quickly. As the cool liquid went down her throat, she sighed, feeling so much better.
"Did we... lo..ose... any... one?" Her voice was scraggly, from disuse and dryness. She wanted to sit up, and tried to grab the side of the bed to be able to do it.
 
"We didn't, but the other team was not so luck, Waldier and Devaln both die din the fight.." He said as he helped pull her up. "Not sure whats gonna happen to them now." He said, setting the glass aside, where it once was. "There was some kind of meeting today about it I assume, but I wouldn't leave you." He said, watching her, "Everyone else is up and about, as been for days, ofcourse you would play possum as long as you could, always had to be the center of attention." He said, his voice cracking a bit as he spoke. "But if you ever worry me like that again, I'll kill you myself.." He said before kissing her on the forehead.

Seylian would put an arm around Tamir, offering her a kiss on the cheek. Resting his head on her shoulder as he began to partake of her cooking. Tom remained silent for awhile, watching the others interact as he played with a steak bite. Finally after a period of silence he would speak. "So, high command has decided our fate. You two are keeping your current paygrade, but we are losing our specialist status, and are being absorbed into the Blood Hawks." He said with a defeated sigh, looking up at the two. "I'm sorry, being on a team with me does little more than subject you to additional scrutiny, and now that curse has carried over to our new team." He said, looking over toward Seylian, "Apologies in advance." Seylian just grinned, "No worries, I like a challenge."
 
Cylesta closed her eye, and hummed as he placed a kiss on her forehead. "I promise... to try... not to do... that again. So you've got... a bigger team now?" She asked as she finally took a deep breath, and happy to be sitting, looked up at her uncle. She saw in his face how worried he had been, and it worried her, so she put her hands up, and hugged him, "Sorry I worried you papa." She only ever used papa on special occasions, honoring her own father, but he was her father figure as well, and so he knew how special it was when she used that name for him. As they were hugging, a medic walked in quietly, checking on her before speaking up.
"You can head home whenever, but the i.v. should stay in until you are home, or with a mate."
"Yes ma'am. Can I go now?"
"I don't see why not... let me grab the paperwork for you."

As Tom spoke up, Rune and Kiara stopped eating to listen. As devastating as the news seemed, at least it was a good team they were joining, and they already knew who they were going to be teammates with. Kiara smiled and said "At least we like the new team..." causing everybody to chuckle at her joke. Rune just smirked and shook her head, "Sounds like a plan. Don't beat yourself up about it though Tom. We fought honorably, and survived to honor our fallen mates."
Her words caused everyone to become quiet for a moment, in memory and respect.
Tamir snuggled into Seylian, and smiled at the group, pretty sure everyone would be okay.
 
"I have no idea. Like I said, I did not go to the meeting." He said before she consumed him in a hug. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close. "You danm well better not." He started before the medic spoke up, earning a glare from Melorn when she uttered the word 'mate'. Once the medic decided to leave the room, he looked down at her, "Are you ready to go home?" He asked, stroking her hair as he watched her.

Tom nodded as Kiara's comment, "Yeah, could have been worse." He said as everyone else chuckled, reaching down to stab a steak bite. Sapphire eyes coming up to look at the leopardess as she spoke. He took a breath, looking down at his food as they all reflected on their fallen allies. "As I am sure you are aware, squads generally only have one Subcommaner. For that reason... and others... I have been striped of my rank.. So technically, you outrank me now Rune." He said offering her a rueful smile.
 
Cylesta nodded, ready to get out of here as soon as possible. She rolled her eyes at her uncle's overprotectiveness, and the smiled wryly.
"Uncle Melorn, don't you want little ones to spoil?" She asked teasing him, as she swung her legs over the side of bed, and stretched each leg out individually.
Her eye twinkled happily, as the medic came bustling back in, making sure she took her time standing up fully, after being in bed for so long.
She finally stood, slowly, Melorn standing next to her for support, as she leaned into him as her tired muscles trembled under the exertion for a moment, before she was able to stand on her own two feet.

Rune looked at Tom in shock, then turned to Seylian, "Isn't there anything you can do about it?" Her anger bled into her tone, though her facial expression showed nothing of the sort. Kiara just sat, shaking her head as she thought of how hard Tom had worked for his position. It also rankled her, to know that they were under an inexperienced subcommander now, although she knew Seylian and liked him.
 
"Maybe I do, doesn't mean I wanna hear about it right after you come out of a coma." He said as he watched her slowly prepare to exit the bed. "Careful now, you've been laid up for a long time." He said before helping her up to her feet, "Easy does it." He said as she got onto her feet and waited for her to be able to stand on her own. Once she seemed mobile enough, he gave her another tight hug. "Alright, lets get you out of here." He said, before leading the way out of the hospital.

Seylian looked somber when Rune asked him if he could do anything. "I am afraid not. I did not even get to be apart of that... 'discussion'. I barely have my rank as it is, only because Melorn decided to pick a team full of rookies and I was the best of the bunch. I hardly have the kind of pull to overrule the Lord Commander." He said frowning at Rune, unfortunately as it was right now Tom was little more than a grunt now.
"That reminds me, at some point I need to have a little one-on-one with you two." He said, giving Tamir a teasing nudge. "I need to learn what your all about, that way I know what you can, and can't do. Also it was suggested to me that I should split the team into two units. An Assault unit, and a Skirmisher unit, and right now I am pretty sure Thyverian is the only one I have that could be labeled as 'Assault'. Which would make things a bit akward..> So I may need to... edit the names a bit."
 
Cylesta giggled at her uncle then thanked him for helpings her up. She stretched her muscles, making sure she got the blood circulating again, before taking her first steps, yawning as she moved. She hugged her uncle again, blinking back tears, and then nodded, saying, "I am so ready to sleep in my own bed..."
The medic walked back in, hearing her, and chuckling as she passed her the paperwork, and an i.v. bag.
"Just in case."
"Thanks. For everything."
"Welcome. Go on get out of here."
Cylesta and Melorn nodded, then they walked out, Melorn helping her as she got moving again.

Once outside, she stopped, and took a deep breath, closing her eye, and putting her face up to the sun, enjoying the heat on her fur for a moment, before smiling at her uncle and started moving towards home. They moved slow enough, that by the time they reached her home, she had been able to stretch her muscles, and was slightly fatigued.
"I'm ready for another nap..." She said, as she opened her door, and stepped inside, Melorn following her.

Rune sighed at his words, knowing he was right, but not liking it at all. Kiara smirked as he said he would need a little one on one time with them, and Tamir nudged him back, chuckling. Rune said, "I'm long-distance. Like Menis. Kiara though could very well be placed in the assault category."
Kiara laughed and nodded, before grabbing a steak bite and popping it into her mouth.
 
"Just never get tired of sleeping do you?" Melorn said as he helped her to her room, and into her... nest. "Still don't have a bed?" He said, shaking his head as she crawled in her nest. "Alright, guess I better got check on the boys, and let you sleep..." He said, waving her goodbye before he left her house. He then began... looking for his warriors

Seylian definitely took notice of Kiara's smirk before his eyes drifted over to Rune. He listened to her intently, before giving a bit of a nod. "Yeah, but I figure there is more to it than that, I saw multiple yous running around. I definitely want to learn more about that, so I can explore the applications. As well as learning any other tricks you two might know." He said before trying to sneak a steak bite off of Tamir's plate.
Tom simply resumed eats, thinking about what all he would have to do to get back in the good graces of his family... As well as consider what it will be like being at the bottom of the chain of command again.
 
Cylesta just smiled at her uncle and curled in under her furs, curling her tail around herself. She watched her uncle leave, calling out, "Try Tamir's. I introduced them to her after our first mission." With that said, she tried to get comfortable, then proceeded to take the hospital gown off, pulling the blades off her tail, before curling into her nest, completely naked. In her haste to nap, she forgot about hooking up the extra bag of repressives that was sitting on her bedside table.

As Seylian spoke, Rune nodded, smirking at him as she said, "Sure. I'll give ya a rundown of my abilities. Hopefully you survive."
Kiara and Tamir giggled under their hands as Rune looked at Seylian, then Tamir would smack Seylian's hand as he tried to steal a steak bite from her plate.
"Get your own you thief."
 
"Seylian grinned at the leopardess, "I think you will find that I am quite resil- Ah!" He shouted as his hand was smacked. Playfully glaring at Tamir as he pulled his smacked hand back. "How rude!" He snarked before nudging her slightly. "I was getting my own meat, from you! Figured I'd reverse the roles for a change." He said before going back to his own plate and eating soem steak bites, pretending to sulk as he does.
 
"Yes. I can see that." Rune said, dryly as she watched him yowl as Tamir smacked him. Tamir rolled her eyes at his dramatics, then settled into his side. Rune and Kiara ate their food as they quietly enjoyed the peace.

Cylesta rolled over, feeling feverish, and gasped as she awoke, realizing just what was happening. She reached out to her headboard, and pressed the small button there, locking down her house, and creating a seal at the doors and windows, before curling up, moaning at the feel of her heat starting, causing her fever to spike in her body, and her pussy to clench around nothing, slick with her fluid. Her room filled with her pheromones, and she was glad she had gotten the upgrade to the house. The only ones allowed in would be those who had already been programmed into the palm scanner at the door. She groaned as her uterus cramped, the muscles in her stomach tearing themselves. She screamed in her room, pain and pleasure racing through her veins.
 
The peace would last several minuets, and would be slaughtered by Seylian of all people. He finished his plate, and looked up at the others in the room. "So what are you all going to get up to while we have a bit of downtime?" He asked, looking at all the others as they spoke. If Tamir began speaking about what she was going to do, he would try to snatch another steak bite from her. After everyone else spoke their piece, Tom looked up from his plate. "I think I will just practice, maybe work on my gear." He said before eating the last of the steak bites on his plate. "The food was great Tamir, that you for letting me join you." He said before skillfully twirling his fork like one would a pistol and placing it on his place. Giving the mistress of the house a nod, he would go to wash the dishes he had used.

About that time, there would be a knock at the door from Melorn.
 
"I've got a couple weapons I have to fix... Seylian!" Tamir responded and then tried to smack his hand, although she didn't try hard, letting him actually get away with it. Rune and Kiara burst out laughing, before nodding in agreement to Tom's words.
"Training range, and practice. And I guess one on one time with our new subcommander." Kiara said, as Rune followed Tom to clean her plate.
Tamir watched them go, then nudged Seylian, "Why can't you be like Tom, he's such a gentlemale." She teased then got up to answer the door.
"Melorn! Come in!!!! How's Cylesta? Is she out?"
 
Seylian laughed in triumph as his plan worked perfectly and he enjoyed her savory meat. He would point teasingly at Kiara as she mentioned their. "The best one-on-one time to be su-" Then he was cut off by the sudden nudge. "Hey now, you saying I'm not a gentlemale? I. Am. Off-ended." He made no secret where he was looking when Tamir walked away. He then looked down at Kiara, seeing if she was done with her plate, and if she was he would offer to take it to the kitchen for her.

As Rune joined him at the sink, Tom would glance over, "I can get that for you." He offered, reaching out for her plate, unless she just really wanted to wash it herself.

The old cheetan would nod to Tamir as he stepped into her house, "Yes, she is. I escorted her home, she seemed like she wanted some comaless sleep." He said as he took a quick look around the room they were in. "I was actually wondering if my boys where here?" He asked, before following her furthe rinto her house.
 
Kiara smiled and passed him her plate, "You ain't winning any brownie points just for taking my plate!" She teased him. She had seen where his eyes were as Tamir had walked away and thought they made a really cute couple. Hopefully they lasted.

Rune smiled at Tom and passed him her plate, before hoisting herself up and sitting down on the counter next to him, a drying towel in her hand as she took the plates he had washed, and started drying them.

Tamir nodded at Melorn, "Yeah, Seylian and Tom are here. As are Rune and Kiara. They are actually getting ready to head back to their home, the medics gave them the all clear." She motioned him to follow her as she walked back to the kitchen. "Have you told anyone else that Cylesta is out of the hospital and resting at home yet? I know the team was worried about her."
 
"Well crap, way to ruin my plans." Seylian teased with a wink, before heading off for the kitchen to wash the plates.

Tom smiled a bit when she hopped up on the counter. If she was paying attention, she would most likely see his sapphire eyes glancing down ay her backside while it was so close to him. He washed both plates and handed them up to her to dry.

Melorn looked at her kinda oddly when she listed off all of the people in the house when he asked where his boys where. Considering as far as he knew Seylian was the only one here that was one of his boys. "Well I am glad everyone is recovering." He said before she spoke of who he told about Cylesta. "I have not told anyone, I came straight here looking for my team, but it seems only Seylian is here, do you know where the other two got off to?"
 
Kiara grinned and turned towards Tamir and Melorn, waving to Melorn in a hello.

Rune helped Tom finish the plates. She hadn't noticed him look at her firm backside, completely oblivious to the workings in his mind.

Tamir tilted her head, and looked at him questioningly, "Melorn, have you not heard the news about your team?" She turned towards a Seylian, who would have heard Melorn's last question about the other two, and motioned to him.
