“Jaeil, “she calls her name causing her to turnaround to face her, “I too will assist.” While Jaeil nodded her head in affirmation the sound of Selenes voice caused Tulsila to quiver in disgust. Once outside Jaeil mounts her stallion immediately kicking her into a full gallop. While everyone followed suite Jaeil eagerly anticipated answers for Ates odd behavior.

As they rode upon Sammarias shop Petra had been true to her word a massive crowd had gathered all to witness the great blue panther they rarely caught a glimpse of. Noticing Jaeils arrival the crowd parts giving her clear access. Standing at the end of the path leading towards the front entrance Jaeil could not believe what she gazed upon. There standing on Sammaria front porch was Ate and from what she could tell she had no intentions of moving.

“Jaeil what is the cause of this behavior, “Masina ask also in complete shock.

“There wasn’t this many people gathered at the festival!”

“Aside from fearing her she is a grand animal to gaze upon.”

“She does see you does she not, “Vave ask inquisitively.

“She returns my gaze as if I am not known to her.” Jaeil had enough with Ates defiant behavior stepping onto the path she begins walking towards her. Realizing once Jaeil reached Ate, she could no longer hear the words spoken Selene decides to act.

“Jaeil, allow me the honor I’ve known Ate for many years even fought alongside her in battle she trust me and I her.” Jaeil agreed to Selenes suggestion as she knew her anger was far too great to handle Ates stubbornness further. Slowly walking up the path towards her Selene silently prayed to the Gods to stop her heart form bursting inside her chest as fear now controlled every fiber of her body. Desperately trying to get a hold of her trembling form she placed one foot in front of the other. If Ate held the same aggression she held against her that night in a matter of seconds her body would be completely ripped to shreds. Once standing comfortably Ate begins to tense up seeing Selene approach. Lowering her head she begins restlessly pacing back and forth. Drawing just a few feet from her much to everyone surprise Ate widens her stance and begins to pant heavily. Again, Selene all too familiar with her behavior knows she must calm her immediately.
