Kyrtaar smiled to Aevah when she thanked him, and then looked at the nymph as she spoke her rhymes and mysteries. Something about magpies being the key to finding this Norn. The forest and it's strange rituals perplexed him, and he was eager to know more. However, Kyrtaar was mostly distracted by the woodland creatures body, and he made no attempt to hide it. The flowers and plants intertwined in her body were alluring to him, and for a fleeting second he thought of those same vines and flowers being intertwined with him. But he saw the thorns too, and had no doubt he could be impaled with thorns. He suppressed the feelings, and turned to leave, when the piercing mental shriek tore through the air. 

Kyrtaar saw the forest, and his parents. They turned to him. Angry. Enraged. Yelling. Kyrtaar had no desire to relive this, and had put almost a century between himself and these events. He summoned forth the vast will power he possessed that allowed him to control the cosmos in his hands. The same will power that bound the stars to [i]his mind.[/i] Oh no, the stars didn't use him. No, no. Kyrtaar used them. Old Cha'ia, did not possess his mind. Cha'ia was in his dreams threatening to devour his soul, but it was all show for such a weak star. Kyrtaar would absorb the power of Cha'ia when he went supernova. Kyrtaar felt the fear of the old star's dead in the back of his throat when he slept.

Kyrtaar blinked, back in the room. He turned to everyone else who seemed much less composed than him. As they came to, a large argument broke out, that Kyrtaar had no interest in, but he did learn that Aevah could read minds. He wondered if she knew of the pact, of what he thought, but it was a question for another time. The journey through the jungle would be long, and conversation would be needed, and this topic might fill the void of the trek. He turned to follow her, and the Lizard out. He meandered after them, at a slow pace. His hood was down, and he enjoyed the sun on his face. His arm was sore from the arrow wound, but he could feel the throb of power in his body, thumping with his heart beat. 

He smelled the fire before he saw it. He followed Aevah at a quicker pace now, and watched her start to sneak off. Rin, the lizard, followed her, and darted up a tree. Kyrtaar, simply sure of his abilities, walked towards the fire. He had lost sight of Aevah, and Rin, but saw Aevah circle around, and reappeared. Kyrtaar stepped out into the clearing, Aevah had been timid in talking to the man, but Kyrtaar had never known a man to start large fires as a friendly one. Aevah was unarmed, and technically so was Kyrtaar, but he was more than confident in his eldritch powers to keep him safe. "Hey!" he called. "Whats your business here?" he asked. He looked at Aevah, and back to the man. He couldn't tell if the man was a threat or not, but didn't trust him, and started to feel the full strength of his abilities flood into his limbs. His eyes weren't glowing yet, but he was already channeling his powers into his limbs, to speed up his reaction times and strength if the man did try to attack them.
