Mundee sighs going to the wallaby and picking it up you need to learn how to hunt ari! If you don’t you’ll starve and become like! he stops himself ...you need to learn to hunt so you can stay alive mate!

she looks scared as aki picks up ari its okay loves

ari cries daddy!! Where’s dad going?

vivian doesnt look back at ari just staring I to nothing stop ari.... dont cry.... daddy has work to do

When will he be back? sniffling

I dont know baby.... I don't know she doesnt look hiding her tears

akietchi holds ari close it’s okay. Your dad is strong and smart he will be back real soon I promise! cuddling him as he gose to vivian putting a hand on her shoulder darling?

she flinches away so ari cant see her tears.... it's nothing sorryi just some dusty in my eye... I think I need a nap

I can watch Arishma for you if you want

she whipes her eyes ah th- that is ari's choice

ari looks away slithering to the ground taking Vivian’s hand daddy says when you’re sad you should go walk about

she looks and smiles okay baby

Come on pulling her as they walk

she smiles walking with him

walking around the castle grounds seeing the forest that’s thick bush ...dose Thomas live in there? Is he a drongo?

she looks with a nod yes that is the forest kingdom of Thomas the 2nd

Blimy! he sees a deer looking straight at him that’s a strange lookin brumby

it's a deer baby. a creature of the forest

arishma slowly walks towards it hey? starts to make clicking noises come on mate

she stays nearby being protective, the female doe slowly approaches smelling the air

You a cute deer...streching put his hand slowly never seen a creature like you before

the doe gets closer sniffing before gently pushing her nose to his hand

he gently pats the does muzzle staying quiet but smiling

vivian smiles looking up seeing thomas watching

Kyanton behind him in a butlers suit. The deer looks up and walks over to Thomas bowing to him, Arishma gose to vivian is that Thomas mummy?

yes baby she bows

thomas smiles walking to them ahhh sweet cousin Vivian! I see your egg hatched! ari hides behind vivian he looks so much like mundee!

she smiles yes but... he acts like you. he treasures animals and their lives

Ahh another he squats down smiling what’s your favourite animal? ari looks....I...I like Galahs ...they’re funny and really cute thomas smiles I don’t have any Australian animals in my forest. Don’t you like eating meat? ari looks away it hurts them. thomas nods it dose, but in the animal world it’s eat or be eaten. We need to eat meat as dragons

Are Carnivores by nature ari looks away about to cry oh sweet child. I know it’s a lot...but I promise that’s the life we where given.

vivian gives a sad smile mundee... forced him to go hunting

Ahhh I see. Mundee didn’t mean no harm, even the mother tiger teaches her cubs to hunt. Being in Australia where survival is hard I can see why. thomas smiles kindly you didn’t like anything on that trip? ari thinks...I liked the tracking..and looking at the animals thomas nods can you do me a favour when you get home? I want you to watch the animals

See what they do. And study them. And I want you to eat all your food, it’ll be a shame to see it go to waste ...it would truly be sad then ari nods looking sad as Thomas pats his head your mother and father only to what’s best for you

vivian smiles patting aris head kyanton giving a smile she is right my lord the boi is like you

I still have trouble eating meat but knowing that this is the circle of life, makes more sense. When Thomas the first passed his body was used for a magnificent tree, now that tree is a home to all small creatures. We give and take taking kyantons hand as ari thinks give and take...hmm...I guess that makes sense now

kyabton smiles looking to the boy remember child respect is fine but you must be safe and take care of yourself

ari looks to kyan and backs away you look...strange ...like half snake

he smiles I am a snake child

Like ..are you Waguls child?! his eyes widen daddy tells me the story of Wagul and how he shaped the land with his rainbow scales!

he smiles waguls is parent to all serpents

I didn’t know that!! Have you met Wagul?? Is he all the colours?! wagging his tail his he really giant like they say? And flies in the sky?!

I have never met them unfortunately but I know them. the great parent

thomas looks at the trees listening.... somthings here ...Orcs again he glares vivian take Arishma home. Kyanton with me!! thomas runs into the woods, bears and wolves following him

she panics as she picks up ari come on baby *she rushes off

ari watches mummy? whats wrong? whats going on!? getting scared

she looks down at him nothing baby they have buissness to take care of

with Orcs? whats Orcs? are they mean?

she gets to the castle* y-yes baby

What do they want with us?

i... I dont know baby she sees guards as they look to her orcs attacking Thomas and the forest!!

they look to her then to themselves get the men! they run going to Seloban passing on the message

she takes ari inside

ari watches the men gear up and move out with Seloban and William. Nuriel watches this is an interesting parade

Inside ari!! now! vivian being strict watching them leave

ari gose inside listening to his mother
