Darisa said, "Be careful. Azane may or not be in the future, but you can affect more than just that."

[Dahlia]

Rimmon nodded."I will be careful. I promise."

[amelias-hart]

The stallion reared, and landed hard. He pawed the ground, ready to go.

[Dahlia]

"Alright Indiyo,lets go."Rimmon grinned,thinking of Masherini's fiery nature,this took it to a whole new meaning. She vaulted onto the stallions back,and grinned as she rode his rear,then asked him to the left.

[amelias-hart]

As the stallion took off, horses poured in from the sides, mares, stallions, fillys, colts, to see the horse off. Many reared and whinnied from the river bed that marked the edge of the Evesong's land.

[Dahlia]

"Looks like you've got quite a family here. But its not like youll be gone forever,why are they all seeing you off like this??"Rimmon said quietly,doubting the stallion would answer her,but just needing to say something.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo snorted, "You don't know what day it is?"

[Dahlia]

''Actually,no. This is ten thousand/s of years before my time."Rimmon said.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo replied, "Nileve's favorite memory is the same as her worst. She would relive this over all."

[Dahlia]

"The raid???"Rimmon asked,confused. She had heard the story once.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo nodded, "Yes. That would be today."

[Dahlia]

"Oh no.... Thats horrible... That means this is the day Esserin dies??? And they wont do anything about it,because.. That would change the future....."Rimmon sighed,suddenly feeling sad.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo replied, "Do you wonder why she sent you to ride out on me and not another horse now?"

[Dahlia]

"Ohh.... Im so sorry.. I didnt know.... I should have said a proper goodbye. When will it happen?"She asked,oddly sentimental,even though she wasnt related to Darisa or Esserin.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo replied, "Oaky and Nileve will leave to the apple orchard, Lily will go into the garden. Esserian will head for the small village here." They now rode through the village just past the estate." He contiued, "Darisa will head into the woods behind the estate for his own reasons. On the other side of Mirimoth, Arros's father is regecting the Outcast's deal for right to enter Mirimoth. The embassitor will pass the news to Throm, Cain's father. You will provoke them to attack."

[Dahlia]

Rimmon nodded,but her heart stuttered when she heard his last sentence."I will...I will... I will what??"She stuttered in a small voice.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo replied, "Everytime she has this dream, it's the same. And every time something or someone has to provoke the Outcasts since no one's knows why they attacked in the first place."

[Dahlia]

'Why do they have to attack in the first place??"Rimmon asked."And start this horrible life taking event? And besides,they told me to stay out of the mountains,where the Outcasts are. You really think Im going to go against my word and go into the mountains?"

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo snorted, "Did you not hear what Darisa said? If you don't, it will change the future. If they don't, someone else may be dead in the future. And you will never remember any of this. If they don't come, Nileve will never have to leave."

[Dahlia]

Rimmon nodded,so in a way,she would be responsible for alot of bad in their lives. She hated that,but it must be done."So we head towards the mountains?"She asked grimly.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo didn't take it has a question, but as an order. The horse turned, wind and fire licking off his coat as he bolted for the mountains. Soon, the hard stone echoed his hoof fall, and there were battle cries from the peaks. He turned quick, already archers shotting at them. With that, he bolted for the estate, his normal horse fear starting to take hold for the value of his life. Soon, he was among the trees around the lake.

[Dahlia]

Rimmon had called a few storm elements to keep the arrows from hitting the horse or herself. Unnoticeable tears were coming down her face,as she clung to Indiyo's back.

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo stopped when he was by the shade of the lake. He lowered his head, tired. He said, "Do you know what Darisa meant by you will alter the future?"

[Dahlia]

"What??"Rimmon asked. And continued,'What did he mean?"

[amelias-hart]

Indiyo replied, "He did not mean you would alter the actual course of time itself, but Nileve's memories. If she doesn't remember a single part of her past, she may die in the present. You understand that?"
