Hulinn laughed lightly and shifted so that she pressed against him before pointing to a certain area of the town. "There. That's where she should be is in that sector."

"Hold on." Cral responded, automatically shifting to make her more secure. Dropping into a dead spiral that hurdled to the ground he felt strangely at peace, just like he did before every battle.

"Gladly." Hulinn muttered as she placed her hand on his upper thighs, fingers lightly caressing.

"I didn't mean hold on to that." he stated, letting go of the reins. Wrapping his arms around her, Cral pushed off from the eagle as it spiraled. "Get on my back!" he shouted as the wind rushed past them, the eagle banking hard to fly back into a cloud.

Hulinn obeyed his order quickly and efficiantly as she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs at his waist. "Usually I'm the one on my back." She teased into his ear.

"Would you prefer to do the flying then?" Cral asked, his voice raised because of the rushing wind as he opened his arms wide. They jerked upwards a bit as the wind caught under his wings, slowing their decent to the ground.

Hulinn laughed, obviously amused by him. "Only if you're steering." She purred as she pressed against him. As soon as they landed she hopped off him and her eyes scanned the crowds. "There." She said as she saw the yellow of the girls dress and the security around her. "You wait here. I'll grab her and bring her to you." Without waiting for his reply she pushed him a little more into the shadow as she stepped out and seemed to disappear into the crowd. A flash of her black leather was all that could be seen as she followed the group around a corner.
Two minutes later Hulinn was rushing back to him with a cloak she didn't have before around her shoulders. "Lets get out of here and fast." She hissed to him as she came to a stop, a little girls wide eyes peered from under the cloak as she clung to Hulinn's hand and stayed as close to the woman as she could. "The lady with the pretty eyes sent you?" She asked him warily.

He clacked his beak as he slipped into the shadows to hide. Cral didn't like waiting for action, he preferred to head straight at it. Simply waiting went against all of his training, but Master Kai trusted this touchy one so he trusted her to a certain degree... Even if he wouldn't admit it.
"Yes." Cral whispered, bending down to look at her. Shouting could be heard as feet pounded towards them. "Hand on now." he stated kindly before easily scooping Hulinn and the girl up. Taking off at a dead run he lept from the top of a basket to an over hanging shade, bouncing to reach the rooftops. After a minute of mad dashing and breath taking leaps over dark alleys that stretched into canyons, Cral headed straight for a jump off that showed nothing to land on.

Hulinn ran a comforting hand through the Abby's curls. "Close your eyes now." She told the girl who quickly obeyed. Reaching into her pocket Hulinn pulled out two tiny disks. "Don't look back." She warned Cral as she tossed them over his shoulder. The two disks split as they were thrown so that there were now six disks that automatically clung to what ever surface they landed on and little countdown displays appeared.

"Never do." Cral answered, sending an ear splitting whistle through the air as he lept out into the blackness. An explosion hot on his back as they fell... fell, faster and faster as the air rushed past them. Seconds from the ground they landed on something familiar that banked to climb back into the air. "Well you took you're bloody time getting here." he stated to the Eagle after he made sure Hulinn and the girl were safe behind him. The Eagle turned and cawed indignantly. "I know. Extra rations for you when we get home." Cral muttered softly, patting the Eagle's head as he took the reins. "Lets see if we can beat are own record." With that they took off into the night sky, heading back to the Temple.

Abby sat between Hulinn and Cral, though she had her back against his and was clinging to the woman with her eyes still closed. Hulinn made sure the cloak was wrapped around both of them so that the girl wouldn't get cold. "I hope Kai realizes what he's gotten us into." She muttered as she patted the girls head. After all, they had just kidnapped the only daughter of the most powerful council member. The council that was already hunting him and Saiya. "They were after her too. I don't know if it's cause she's powerful or cause they wanted to use her to get to Saiya, but we need to find Kai's witch and get them both enchanted." She informed Cral.
Saiya's eyes opened, glazed as she lay next to Kai. Her hand moved to his waist and her fingers wrapped around his dagger, pulling it from it's sheath. As a distraction she kissed his neck and pressed herself against him, her other hand running along the waist of his pants.

"Hmmmm... You're suppose to be asleep." he muttered, bending down to nuzzle against Saiya's neck.
"As soon as we land, get the girl inside and out of sight. I'll go to retrieve the witch." Cral stated as they came into sight of the Temple. "Take her to Saiya and Kai. Between the three of you, you all should be able to protect her till I get back."

Abby tugged at Hulinn's hand. "They've got her. They're going to hurt Kai because he keeps protecting her." Hulinn frowned. "What do you mean they've got her? She's safe with Kai." Shaking her head Abby looked to Cral to understand. "They use her power to get in, she can't fight them that way."
She didn't answer, the dagger free now she brought her arm up for a strike. Her other hand wrapped around his belt to hold him to her and keep him in place.

Kai chuckled as he rolled over so that he was on top of her. "You really should just back to sleep." he stated through a yawn as he leaned down and ran his lips up her neck.
Cursing to high heaven Cral dropped them into a straight dive bomb for the Temple gardens right next to the guest quarters. "The powers of a seer flow both ways Hulinn, if she can see through their eyes they can see through hers!" he shouted as they plummeted towards the earth.

Hulinn's eyes went wide. "You mean....." She cursed and held the girl tighter. As soon as they were close enough to the ground she shoved Abby at him and jumped, running straight for Kai and Saiya's room. She gasped as she saw the knife raised and shoulder rammed Kai off of Saiya. Saiya lept at Hulinn with Kai's dagger in hand and managed to get her in the shoulder before Hulinn pinned her to the ground and twisted the dagger from her hand.
Saiya blinked up at Hulinn as the dagger fell from her fingers. "Wha-what's going on?" She asked, her voice groggy as though just waking up.
