Romulus had already been treated for the poison, his healers had gotten to it before it spread to his heart. The plant girl might not have been so lucky. He hoped she was dead. His broken nose was spinted, and he had completely pushed Saraiyu away from his mind. Well, almost completely; in the back of his mind he could still taste her sweet lips, feel her soft skin... But he was alright... he knew that. But it certainly wasn't the end, no, no it wasn't. Sarai, in giving him the strength, showing that she did still care, even if it was just a little, had also shown him his weakness. No matter how much he wished it wasn't true, he still loved her. He had known that all along, but he hadn't been able to admit it to himself until now. But he loved her, beyond words, and he couldn't kill her. Breaking her wrist had felt so satisfying, but he couldn't kill her. And then that meant she probably didn't have killing him in her either. So he had to get to them another way, and he knew the answer, it came so easily he felt sick with himself, but it was there, so clear and real and he knew he would do it. He wanted Sarai with him so bad it hurt. This wasn't about killing her anymore. He could kill others... the students... that didn't mean he was evil... it just meant that he loved her, and he'd do anything to be with her. Even if the students were going to have to suffer. And the teachers. He didn't care, and that was the truth. Sarai mattered like nothing else did. That was his truth.

Felicity hadn't been hurt that badly, a few cuts but she didn't notice them. It wasn't something that was bad enough to be treated by the healers. Felicity went around the camp helping the healers by warming up blankets and such as well as starting fires or cooking food. It was boring, but Felicity was still horrified of what she found Romulus and Sarai doing and didn't have the heart to go talk to the man she loved. Felicity, in her own way, was showing how deeply depressed she was. Sighing she left the clearing and went to a small pond and went to sleep away from everything and better yet, everybody.

Romulus lay by himself for few more hours, prefecting his plants... at last he stood up, walked up on top of the rock, staring down at his followers, and quickly called them all to attention. With his voice grim he explained how they must figure out a way to get into the castle, he assigned spys and guards and those who would eventually become assassins. He called out 4 of his most loyal follows, one for each element, Felicity among them, and as their leader, to go watch the school, and find a way inside without the others knowing. "Stay unseen and unnotticed, but watch them carefully, and report back to me when you find a way in" He ordered, and then jumped down from the rock, putting a hand on Felicity's shoulder, "I'm sorry" he told her softly, it was all he could say.

"It doesn't matter," Felicity mumbled looking away from Romulus. "Do you want us to kill anybody who comes to our base or finds out?" Hopefully one of them would be Sarai, thought Felicity grimly. When he didn't reply immidiatly she continued, "Also have you dediced a name and symbol for us to put up whenever we strike?"

He gave her a look, "It does matter, Feli, I'm not blind, okay? And I really am sorry though... if things were different..." he broke off, wishing they were. "But yes, don't let them live, and..." He shrugged, "I'm going to be here, as for the symbol, its your call" he told her, not yet letting go of her arm.

Felicity sighed and looked into his eyes. "I know. I mean I can see why you are in love with Sarai. She's pretty, and all its just. Oh nevermind. I'll get a symbol going, but do you have a name in mind that you want us to be?" Fel asked quietly noting that everybody else had left them.

"I wish I wasn't." He told her, "You know that. And its stupid of me, I know, its been forever... but its just... I can't..." he shrugged it off, "something scary, I'm not in the mood to think right now, we've got until you figure out some way into the school, I'll think about it." He turned to go for a moment, then looked back at her. "And Feli?" he said, his voice even softer then before, half embarrassed. "In the tent... with Sarai... If you could just keep that quiet..."

"If anybody asks I'll say you were torturing her, making her miserable," Fel replied quietly. "I have some ideas about getting into the school myself and Im sure the others do to. Will you just think of a name for us. It needs to be something special, something you would do. I'm going to go prepare, come to me if you think of a name?" Fel asked softly, her voice filled with wanting even though she kept trying to keep it out.

Romulus smiled weakly, "Thanks. And fine. I'll let you know when I think of something..." he told her, and then turned to leave, walking back to his tent to think of something. ((Sorrey, short post, I'm cleaning the kitchen and posting )

Fel nodded and left as Romulus did going back to her tent to change into black mini-shorts and a black camisole with red lace. Walking out she went to the healers who got her back 100% in shape, afterwards she went back to her tent and packed up. She took out stuff she wouldn't need from her bag and put things she did need in it. When she was fully packed she went back outside to the campfire, it was well past midnight and everybody was asleep except for the healers and injured ones on the other side of camp. Fel had the full moon to herself to look at marveling. Romulus still hadn't come to her, unfortunatly so Fel would just wait out here until he came.

Romulus lay on the floor of his newly repaired tent, staring up at the shadows reflected on the canvas. They needed something terrifying. Something that would make blood run cold, make words catch in throats, make them shake in fear. Something... evil. What did they represent? What were they fighting for? No, things like liberty sounded... cheesy. He rolled over and stared at the dirt, thinking hard.

Felicity's calm mood became to turn into melanchoely and anger. Romulus still hadn't come to her with a name and it was approaching dawn. Hell, it can't be that hard to think of a name! She sighed and surpressed a small shiver from the night cold and flared her power warming herself up quickly. Fel looked over to Romulus's tent with longing in her eyes. Why couldn't he want her as much as she wanted him? It just doesn't make sense.....

Romulus strode out of his tent. Without a word, he dropped down next to Felicity, stared at the sky for a minute. "Ulevi Mauti" he whispered, "intoxicated death" his voice sounded on in the silence, and he turned to face her, grinning.

Fel's small pout turned upside down into a purely evil grin. Intoxicated death...perfect. "That's perfect," Fel whispered. "Just like you," She couldn't help but adding. Though she knew perfectly well that he wasn't interested she had to show that she still cared deeply about him. "I'll go gather those coming with me and you can give us the specific directions," Fel added softly after she gave him a small smile and stood up to gather the men coming with her. Once she had 3 tired men in tow she went back to Romulus who was still sitting on the log. "Awaiting instructions, Master Romulus," She said in a teasing manner ready to please Romulus.

"Shut up" he growled, still smiling broadly. "Right then, we need a way into that school. Somewhere they won't know about. Don't be seen, kill anybody who knows too much. Might help if you did some spying, find out how they suffered from the battle. Report back to me at midnight, just once of you though, the others need to stay. Felicity's in charge, and if you dont listen to her.. heads will roll" he finished, still in high spirits.
