Dyten thanked her before turning his back to the dopr, becoming lost in thought. When Ryu entered, he turned and looked towards him. "Ryu?" He asked, seeing the mans face and somehow knowing the name was his. He hesitated to step closer as he looked the man over. "I feel like I should know you better then I do. But how?"
Felicia moved over and hugged her mother. "I am so glad he is back." She said softly.

Ryu blinked, feeling a little awkward with how Dyten was looking at him but at the same time relieved to see him "Um....Well I joined the guard in Akrita when i was young and you joined around the same time. We were 13 i believe. Did all our training together. Always neck and neck really. We became friends. Good friends. Your closest friend outside of Adara I think...that's what Adara always told me. You were always just one step ahead of me. As soon as i got promoted to where you were at you got promoted up again. Could never catch up. Until you left Akrita that is" he laughed a little

"Left." He looked down. "And came here. You...helped me get the miltsry back in order here. I chose you to replace me as general in Akrita." He held a hand up to his head as years of his life in the military came racing back all at once. Blood dropped from his nose as he held a hand to his head, growing dizzy by the sheer amount of memories. Before he blacked out completely one word escaped his lips. It was a word that only him and Ryu knew that had been a way for them to tell it was the other anytimethey had gone under cover to keep the others safe. It was one word in falcon which was the word for friend. After that word escaped his lips he dropped to the floor unconscious, his mind overwhelmed and unable to comprehend everything that had been thrown at him all at once.

Ryu leapt forward reflexively and caught him before he had totally hit the floor, setting him down gently calling out for someone to help. Torrent was not too far off and helped get Dyten into bed, demanding to know what happened. Ryu explained to everyone what happened and they did their best to make Dyten comfortable, Torrent making something for him to drink to hopefully let Dyten rest while unconscious, knowing his body was likely experiencing a lot of stress
When Dyten woke he was in his room in his bed still. He had been changed a few times, taken care of fully while he was unconscious.
Sitting beside the bed was a young human with pale hair who was writing in a book muttering to himself about the family being so emotionally unstable and sighing
Jade ran his fingers through his hair and sat back closing his eyes, wishing that he knew where Adara was. He shook his head and set the journal aside, picking up one of the dozen books scattered on the floor around his chair, all open and began flipping through the pages, trying to research all he could on people who lost their memories.
"Alie's never around when i need her" Jade muttered as he set the book aside for another, not realizing that Dyten was awake

"Quit running your mouth." Dyten muttered as he stirred, a comment that was very much him. "Where is everyone?" He glanced around. "How did I get here? Last I remember I was...". He paused and glanced around then at Jade. "How long have I been here?" He asked, everything confusing him. Despite all that his mind was still shielded.
Sandra was at the door way by that time. "You blacked out for two days." She said softly. "You were talking to Uncle Ryu." She then looked over towards Jade. "Jade your tea is ready. You should come eat something." She said softly to him, not seeming to pay attention to the fact that, once again when she spoke to him she worried over him taking care of himself and eating when he needed to.

"Go back to sleep if you don't like it"Jade said casually before he looked over at Dyten for a second then at Sandra "well i can't come down with he's now awake" he smiled thanking hey for the tea "everyone you said.who is everyone?" He was curious because he had been told Dyten's memories had been coming back in flashes.

Dyten listed off a few of the soldiers names, as well as Jamie's name. He glanced towards Jade. "You act like I shouldn't know them. I didn't loose my memories, just sealed them. I just don't remember everything. I know the soldiers, Ryu. Just not....not everyone else."

"Same old Dyten" Jade chuckled "i made no presumptions. I figured whatever happened likely unsealed memories just wanted to see how much had risen to the surface" he looked at Sandra then back at Dyten. "They would be here but something happened in town i guess and Ryu went with Torrent to check it out. Felicia is with Alera who is starting to feel unwell and Jakie...well he things that you falling last time you talked was his fault and doesn't want to be the person making your head hurt so he's keeping his distance. Been standing guard outside your door most of the time"

Dyten glanced towards Jade as he spoke before nodding once. He easily pushed himself up, stretching slightly as he did so. He rasied a brow when he heard that Alera was feeling unwell, but simply moved over to his closet. "I suggest you get out of my room please so I can change. I don't need a baby sitter, especially from you." He stated, glancing towards Jade. "Puppet." He said, using the nickname he had always used for Jade, his way of showing he remembered the young man. He entered his closet and shook his head slightly as he scanned through memories, still keeping his thoughts sealed off. A short time letter he came out dressed in a pair of black pants, a white shirt, and his hair braided back like he usually would have kept it while working. His black boots were cleaned and shined, and he looked more like himself, minus the fact that he was actually wearing white.
Sandra glanced over towards Jade briefly. "Excuse me." She curtsied before moving off. She walked down the hall way and glanced over her shoulder. "Go away." She said to the spirits there. "I don't want to talk and stop pestering me. Jade is not my boyfriend."

Jade laughed a little at the nickname, amused that Dyten seemed to remember him just fine "Yes. Babysitting. that's why i had all these books" he said looking over at Dyten "Researching, trying to figure out if there was a way to help you, but also staying close in case i could hear a thought or two that could help" he shook his head and left the room so Dyten could change, figuring he'd collect the books afterwards
"Sure hope not. There's no one good enough for my little girl" Torrent said coming down the hall. He looked tired and a little worn but he had a smirk on his face as he looked at his daughter "Spirits pestering you?"

"It is not uncommon for them to pick at me when Jade is around." Sandra said, tilting her head slightly. She rubbed her arms gently as she moved over to Torrent and hugged him, resting her head against him briefly.
A few days later Treva arrived back with the others that had gone with her. Her arm was in a sling and one other was sporting a nasty cut to his side, but aside form that they were in relatively good shape.
Sandra was outside with Dyten, sitting on the railing and watching the men and spies train. Dyten was leaned against the fencing as he answered a few questions that Sandra asked, seeming much more relaxed then he ever would have before the whole situation. "You have been searching for her, haven't you?" Sandra glanced towards him. "And no I cannot tell from your thoughts. But I see you slip out every morning." Sandra stated. "And the spirits tell me."
Dyten glanced towards her and smirked slightly. "Yes I have searched for her." Dyten responded. "Just something that urges me to try and find her." The one thing Dyten had been doing was leaving a black rose out for Adara at one of their favorite spots that he had stumbled upon and remembered briefly. He had taken to leaving the rose as a sign that he was trying to remember her and that he wanted to show her it was really him. Dyten glanced over as Treva came up and frowned slightly. "What happened?" He asked, moving over to the man with the injury. "It's just me, Stephan." He told the man as he knelt down to see the injury. He frowned when he pulled aside the shirt and saw the cut. "They are still using the same poison." He frowned as he pulled wolfsbane and a bandage from a pouch he kept on his hip. He quickly pressed the woflsbane into the injury and wrapped the bandage around quickly. "I'll get him up to the infirmary." He stated as he let Stephan lean against him.
Treva nodded as she looked towards the others. "Go get cleaned up. I will let my husband know." She told them before heading inside to where Torrent was. As she came in she let out a sigh of relief. "Well at least only two of us were injured. Dyten went to take Stephan up to get cleaned up. And I am fine it is just a sprain I got trying to twist Stephan out of the way after he took the hit to the side. But the issue is dealt with." She told him. "Dyten seems....different." She stated, as she moved over to hug her husband. "He was...." She paused not sure quite how to describe it. "He recognized Stephan and the rest that were with me. Seemed pained to see Stephan injured."
"Uncle Dy remembered the soldiers after seeing Uncle Ryu while you were gone." Sandra stated.

Torrent moved over to his wife when he saw her come inside and nodded listening to her explain. He smiled a little looking at Sandra then looked back at "He's been out with the soldiers most days. Something about Ryu brought that part of his life back. But from what he's said and what Jade has told me it seems he suppressed him memories as a protective measure. He did it himself. So naturally things are coming back now that he's safe, but the most important things, the things he buried deeper because he wanted to protect them more might be slower to come to the surface" he said softly looking at her "You are alright though? Aside from the sprain?" he asked, concerned about his wife
A figure stumbled bleeding into town near the edge of the business district, stumbling into an ally. They put their hand on the wall to steady themselves before collapsing, leaving a bloody handprint on the wall
Adara's face was dirt-covered scratches littering it and the rest of her body, including a deeper scratch near her throat. She was bleeding profusely from an injury to her side, the dagger that gave her it still in her side, keeping her from bleeding even more. She had chosen not to remove it, knowing if she did she'd probably bleed out, but unfortunately she didn;t make it back to the castle before she had lost enough blood that she had no strength left. Clutched in her one hand was a black rose.

Dyten came down about that time and moved to head outside. As he headed out he hooked one thumb on his belt and rested his right hand on the hilt of his swords. Something had him on edge but he wasn't sure what. He could just tell something was making him feel off. Having decided to, as usual, trust his instinct, he headed towards town right as a soldier moved to let Torrent know what was going on. Dyten neared where Adara was, the strong scent of blood hitting him. He shook his head slightly, his eyes bleeding red as he recognized the scent, though not sure how. He moved instantly in the direction, coming upon Adara's form. As he saw her laying there with the black rose in her hand he moved over instantly and quickly set about checking her over before filed dressing the injuries and stabilizing the knife. He could tell she was struggling and without a second thought he moved to lift her gently and take her back towards the castle, not a word escaping his lips. The shadows were swarming around him, however, though mostly around his legs and wings as he flew. His eyes were sold black as he moved easily, landing just outside the castle, having chosen to fly the short distance back to get there quickly.
Treva was leaning against Torrent when the smell of Adara's blood reached her. Her eyes grew wide as she looked in the direction of the scent. "Adara....she's...blood." She said, glancing towards Torrent, instantly moving to go check why her sister-in-law was there and why she could smell so much blood.

Torrent looked up at Sandra's words, hearing them from where he was and frowned. He moved instantly, looking at his sister in Dyten's arms. As one of the servants moved towards Dyten Torrent caught their arm "No" he said looking at the servant "I wouldn't try and take her from him right now" he turned "Clear a path" he called, knowing that right now the best thing to do was make sure there was no one that was going to get in Dyten's way to the infirmary. "What happened?" he asked standing near Dyten and walking with him not even trying to touch him or his sister at the moment
Jade came running down, hearing the frantic thoughts in the room and looked over at them then moved over to where Sandra was
The doctor immediately had a bed cleared and waiting for Adara. He moved to meet them at the door, knowing Dyten well enough from before to know that unless Dyten indicated it was alright he should not try and take her from him

Dyten stayed silent even as Torrent spoke. He only spoke once Adara was laying down on the bed. He moved back, his eyes still black as he spoke finally, his voice clear who, or what, was in control. "I do not know. I was going out into town to let Stephan's wife know that he was here because of his injury so that she would not worry. The scent...." His whole body tensed slightly as he looked towards Adara. "I did what I could to stop the bleeding and make sure the knife did not move." He shook his head slightly and lowered his head, forcing himself to calm down. After a moment the black in his eyes cleared, though they were still rimmed in red. "I want to take a small group and try to trace where she came from." He glanced towards Torrent. "I am not good here and without knowing why I am reacting this way it would best that I not be around. The last I would want is for someone to be hurt because of it." He glanced over towards Adara once more. "Find the one responsible." Escaped his lips, clearly the inner demon speaking, craving the blood of the one that caused his intended harm.
Sandra moved over to where Jade was instantly, her form shaking slightly. "The shadows...." She said, holding ah and to her head and shivering. "He is confused as to why he is reacting so violently to Aunt Adara being hurt. It confuses him and....the shadows are reacting...." she shivered. "I can't hear much...just....small flickers of thought like it is to much for him to shield."
