Luna stood up and looked at Sparrow her hand fidgeting at her side, "That's enough Sparrow! Panther isn't family to any of us, not even Cyrus! Panther took me from my parents when I was six. Six! He killed your parents at eight and Cyrus's parents when he was 9! Has Cyrus ever purposefully killed someone that would have a direct impact on his friends? No! What's happened happened! What we need to do is figure out what to do from here and if turning on Cyrus is your plan, count me out."

Cyrus sighed.
“I don’t give a shit. Make a plan that gets me killed,” he grumbled.

"Turning on Cyrus is never my plan, as much as I may be furious, I would never send any one I love to the slaughterhouse. I'm pretty sure his parents are still alive. We still have some unread files that I brought back with Uriah when we went on our one year trip." She seethed. "Now if you excuse me, I have to go rescue a 7year old child, I consider to be my own." She turned on her heel and speed walked to her workshop, packing a bag with food and water, and another bag with extra special arrows, a few scouting robots, and some gas/smoke bombs. She whistled a few times and her hawk, Ryker, came screeching and landed on her shoulder, where she had placed a pad to protect her from the talons. She walked out to the stables, ignoring anyone who called for her, and grabbed her favourite horse, a chestnut colored stallion, and had him saddled, staring at the White wing guild in mild disgust.

Luna let out a sigh and sat back down, "W-we should follow her shouldn't we?"

Cyrus tried to call after Sparrow and stop her, but he barely had any voice left.
He turned to Luna, his eyes looking empty.
“I can’t… I can’t do this anymore… I don’t want to carry on.”

Luna looked at Cyrus with sad eyes. She recognized the look in his eyes, "I-It'll get better Cyrus. I promise you that. So please just keep going, if not for yourself. F-for the people who need you."

“For you guys… I will,” he sighed, “No hard feelings if I have to sacrifice it all though. I’m fully prepared…”

"No hard f-feelings," Luna looked at him, "N-now shall we go follow Sparrow?"

“Yeah, before she does anything she might regret,” Cyrus agreed.
He stopped for a second. “Can… can I have a hug?”
It sounded simple, almost childish, how he asked, but he was serious.

Luna gave him a slight smile and nodded as she opened her arms, "O-of course."

Cyrus sank into Luna’s arms, feeling like he was going to cry, but so hardened and empty-feeling that he probably couldn’t have if he tried.
When he was done squeezing her tightly, it had grounded him just a little.
He let out a deep breath.
“Let’s grab our things and get out,” he said.

Luna nodded and let go pulling her hood back atop her head, “Y-yeah. Meet you at the stables?”

“Right. I’ll try to make it quick,” Cyrus promised.

Luna nodded one more time before making her way back to her room. She was only grabbing her bow and quiver. Maybe a mask to help cover her face more, but that was it.

Cyrus packed a full bag with some medical supplies. They would almost certainly need them. He grabbed his weapons and a mask. Finally, Cyrus put on some light armor-like padding and strapped on his knee brace a little better. He jogged our to the front, by the stables.

Luna hopped out from her window and walked over to where Cyrus was, “Y-you ready to go?”

“Yeah,” Cyrus replied, adjusting his backpack straps a little.

Sparrow got onto her horse that was now saddled and gave the young boy a small gold watch, something that turned into a spyglass with a click if a hidden button. Clicking her tongue and flicking the reins, Sultan, the horse, started moving and she was quickly outside the guilds main gates and on her way to the other guild.

A short while later, she stopped to rest at the foot of a tree and opened a map on her watch. Sparrow looked at her position, the distance remaining, and the position of the sun, she estimated that within three days she would reach the outskirts of the town Panthers guild was situated it. She took a sip of water and reattached the bottle to her saddle bag before hopping back on the horse and continuing her journey.

“Th-then let’s go,” Luna walked into the stables and saddled one of the horses before climbing on it. She may not be the best rider, but they needed all the horses they could get.

Cyrus saddled up a big brown stallion and mounted it. He looked at Luna.
“You ready?”

"Y-yep," Luna successfully mounted the white horse and looked back at Cyrus, "Th-the more time we waste, th-the further ahead Sparrow can get."

“Yeah, I hope we can catch up,” he said, “Not sure how long a horse can keep a fast pace with me on board.”
Cyrus adjusted his grip on the reigns and started pulling out of the stables and towards Black Claw.
