Sweet Revenge, <open>

[Aki]

Aki wandered the grounds known as Blood Lake. She sat at the water's edge and looked into the water. Her right eye with the black curse mark was on her face. She growled at the water. She splashed her reflection and looked into the sky. She howled. A blood curling howl. The angry inside of her was still strong.

[Feuer]

Feuer was walking through the sand on the edge of the Lake when he heard the howl come from the opposite side of the lake. The surface of the water turned a blood red at the same time as the howl. wow, there is a Faltor with some major anger. I sense it is Fire Clan. I'll go over there and see if I can be of help.

He allowed his element to rise to the surface and the area all around Feuer glowed with a bright heat generated by his body. Now the Fire Clan Faltor will know for sure that I am also of the Fire Clan. Feuer walked at a brisk pace around the end of the lake.

[Aki]

In the distance, she saw a Faltor glowing red. That faltor must be of the Fire Clan as I am she thought. She looked in the direction of the glowing red figure and waited for the faltor to reach her before she said something.

[Feuer]

As Feuer got closer to Aki he noticed the redness in the lake wasn't as bright as it had been. He looked at Aki and said, "You must be Aki. Finally there are three of us in the Fire Clan here. What is it that seems to be troubling you? Are you aware of the properties of this Lake we call Blood Lake?

[Whitewave]

Whitewave, who had been under the water of blood lake, saw the water around her turn to a dark shade of red and wondered where it had come from. Ever so slightly, she approached the surface of the water and slowly raised her head out of it, she heard a howl from behind her. Then, in the distance, she saw a red flame flicker and thought that two fire clan members were out there somewhere. She slowly rose out of the water to see Feuer in the distance on one end, and another faltor on the other side of Blood Lake. She wasn't sure who the other faltor was, so she began to approach Feuer.

[Feuer]

Feuer felt Whitewave approaching from the water. Just her head was showing in the water and she was moving amazingly fast. It was amazing because there was barely a ripple on the surface of the water and no sound at all. Fuer slowed his pace and continued toward Aki. He looked at Whitewave and nodded his head to her.

[Whitewave]

Whitewave approached the edge of the water with amazing agility, and hopped out of the water. Since Feuer was a little ways away from her, she shook off her fur, then walked up to him. "Who is that faltor in the distance?" she asked.

[Aki]

" I am Aki of the Fire Clan. This lake turned to the shade of red because I hate my father. And I always will," she said. She looked at the two Faltors that had gathered around her. She snarled.

[Whitewave]

Whitewave did not seem one bit intimidated by the fire clan member's snarl. She calmly responded, "Why do you hate him?"

[Feuer]

Feuer looked at the lake again and back to Aki. Even with Whitewave and myself here talking with you the lake keeps much of your anger on display through its redness. It is an anger that consumes you.

[Shamia]

Shamia appeared at the opposite side of the lake where Feuer had recently been. She was sitting and alert as she watched and sensed what was going on where the Faltors were.

[Feuer]

Feuer suddenly sensed the appearanced of the Psychic and openly turned in the direction where she would be. He wanted her to know they were aware of her. He turned back to Aki and said to all of them. "I'm sure you just felt what I have sensed. She is over there on the opposite bank. I don't intend to pay a lot of attention to her unless she moves closer."

"Aki if you don't want to share what bothers you about your father that's ok by me. You shouldn't snarl at Whitewave. I know she is from water but she has been a friend. It's up to you."

[Aki]

" My father killed my mother. My family. He destroyed my entire life. The only thing is he destroyed my memory, and I have no way of remembering of who he is," she replied to them. She always felt a lonely feeling even with Faltors around us.

[Whitewave]

Whitewave saw Shamia from out of the corner of her eye and beckoned her into the conversation. "Aki, I know that it's hard to live with the fact that you only knew the bad things about your father, but you have to try to eventually forgive him. Maybe not now, or next week, but you have to forgive him sometime in order to get back on the right track to loving again."

[Feuer]

"Aki something similar has happened to me. I have no memory of my mother or father and for most of my life I have been trying to figure this out. Sometimes I think I am getting close to and answer and then it just escapes me. But I don't have a memory of either of my parents being violent toward each other. You have more to work your way through. Do you think your father is still alive?"

Feuer looked across the lake to see if there was a response from Whitewave's invitation to Shamia.
