The cut was healed, gone as if it never was. Saying something in her dialect she laughed and tilted her face up at him with wonderment. He said okay, okay, just one. She closed her eyes and eagerly awaited her one. He cupped her face and kissed her tenderly. He then quickly turned and grabbed the broom and dustpan. Luna quickly stepped farther into the bedroom. Hmm, it was most fascinating. As she walked through the living room on her way to the kitchen. She asked if anyone else wanted a soda. While in the kitchen grabbing the drinks, she heard Ten' greet the others followed by a loud gasp from the living room. Dashing back she almost had the sodas at the sight. The Dragasi Hedrian had walked out in the buff. In her hands were some clothes and on her face look a of puzzlement clouded it. Her hair partially wet, yet flying everywhere as willfully as a cat’s tail does it seemed to have a mind of its own. She was fully exposed, her skin was a bit darker than the washed out watermelon. Now a lovely shade of light burgundy.

She held up the items and looked at Luna pleadingly." Umm" Luna chuckled," okay, let's go back into the bedroom and I will help you," The Dragasi Hedrian clapped her hands excitedly jumping up and down. All the boys' jaws dropped in the girls smacked them and telling them to shut their mouths. “Luna said, “Okay let's try this top, it has an opened back, allowing for wing movement. “The girl has a structure similar to hers so sharing close was easy, almost everything fit. About 45 min. later Luna and the girl stepped out into the living. Nici stood up and said," Wow, what that outfit looks great on her!" "Isn't that skirt a bit short?" Ten' queried. “And oh Ten' don’t be such a prude, it isn't fetching on you, besides she makes that outfit look good!" All agreed that she was knockout gorgeous. Something shifted in Shadows brain and he took another look at her. What a fool he was, but no more.

They all headed out towards the Temple. And the town’s folk waved to them everywhere they went. When he arrived at the Temple Tikal was pleased to see them. "Come little one, let us check you over." After thoroughly examining the girl and giving her a clean bill of health. She told everyone," Soon we will have a naming ceremony. Because of her sudden birth she had no name bestowed on her. It will be three weeks from tomorrow, so start thinking of names that we can put into the Naming Crystal, (an orb with misty core). It is passed from person to person. The name is whispered into the stone. When all names are entered the inside of the stone will swirl around till the true name is found. It will then announce it to all.

The ten of you may have a private party away from the villagers. They all got excited started talking at once. Tikal quieted them down. After they settled down all shared ideas even Brigh. "I think it should be at Shadows” she said pointing at him. Shadows head whipped around. He was about to protest when the girl lit up and looked so excited. For the first time since her arrival she spoke in their speech. “T, Te...Ten'!" She exclaimed looking at him. He nodded smiling, she said his name again. She danced around saying his name over and over.

The second word spoken in her new world was of one who would become her beloved. Everyone laughed and cheered for no one could resist such happy innocence, not even Brigh. Him he tried. He stated they could plan the party he was can show her around beaming with pride he stated they could plan the party. He was going to show her around. They strolled around the countryside arm in arm. As they walked she sang a song in her native tongue. He noticed not only the men but the women staring at her backside. Glancing down he saw her tail was protruding and swinging in rhythm to her song. He threw his head back and laughed out loud with pure joy! She paused in her singing looking at him with bewilderment. She looked around at the people. She followed their gazes and glanced down at the back of her skirt. “Oh!" She exclaimed, mortified. Tears flowed from her eyes, her hands flew to her face. Taking off in a dead run blinded by the tears she didn't see the slight hole. She tripped. He heard a snap, thinking it was her ankle, ran forward. She toppled over the small cliffs edge.

She screamed as she file which caused a small avalanche of boulders and rocks. Luckily she fell into a slight ditch which protect her from the rocks a little bit. But even if she wasn't smashed. She was still buried alive. “МОЙ ВОЗЛЮБЛЕННЫЙ!!" Ten' yelled urgently as she fell. The villagers saw her fall. One which did his horse and rope to help. Others rushed over wanting to help them. The others at the Temple heard her scream and him holler and came to find out what was wrong. Ten' jumped down and started removing rocks with extreme urgency. Jett, Nici and the rest of the crew all scrambled down the side of the Cliff to help free her. Peaches perked her ears." I can hear her hollering. She's still alive!"
