Crossroads looked out ahead of them, her eyes widened at the sight of
the familiar town of Truce. What had only been a couple of weeks had
seemed like an eternity to her and she almost couldn't believe her
eyes. She was almost home, finally! Soon she would be in her house
again, sleeping in her own bed. And no longer having to deal with ...
that thing. She glanced back towards Tyrranis and Lorastine with an
expression that almost seemed to ask if what she was seeing was real.

Lorastine's eyes lit up when she finally started to see the familiar
sights of Truce once again. The trip had taken longer then expected,
but it was finally good to be back home. She didn't even want to think
back to what they had to do to get back here.

Tyrranis silently looked upon the lights of Truce, and let out a soft
sigh. The way things had been back there, it was good to see friendly
territory again. Plus, they had a grief seed that needed Kyuubey's
attention lest the events might happen again. "Shall we return home at
last?"

Crossroads had a wide smile on her face as she nods to Tyrranis. "I
was starting to wonder if we'd ever see it again." She couldn't hide
the excitement in her voice even if she wanted to. She could almost
have taken off at a run right now towards their destination if it
meant seeing her house again sooner.

Lorastine looked around at the town, so many things seemed to have
changed, but yet kept its same charm. She waved to a couple of
familiar faces with a big smile, but her responses seemed a bit
sympathetic then friendly. She tilted her head slightly wondering why
she was getting such replies to her greetings.

Tyrranis moved through the crowds of Truce in no way approaching
anything like a returning hero, or even a man keenly interested in
returning home. Once he passed the gates, he acted like it was any
other day, albeit pausing to look around for a familiar cat that he
needed to speak to.

Crossroads' shoulders sagged a little as they passed by the fortune
teller and she looked a little embarrassed. Oh yeah, she had been away
from her job for a while, hadn't she? And she certainly hadn't had the
chance to call in. "I guess I am going to have to look for a new job.
No way I still have one after all this time." she said quietly. But
then she perked back up a little. Even if she didn't have any means to
pay the bills right now, she was still back where she belonged, and
that’s what mattered right now.

Lorastine smiled a little out of sympathy for Cross's situation.
Speaking of jobs, she hadn't been to the inn in a long time. "I'll
have to meet up with you guys later. I have to check in on stuff."
Lorastine said as she turned to the both of them with a nod. "See ya!"
she said with a smile on her face before heading off towards the Inn.

Tyrranis stops as Lora branched off, and then called to her. "Do not
forget to swing by the house later. We still need to talk about some
things."

Crossroads waved to Lora as she headed off, "See you in a bit Lora!"
She said. Then she turned, taking a hold of one of Tyrranis' hands
with both of hers and lightly tugging on it on it like an eager child
trying to pull a slow moving parent towards something they thought was
exciting. "Come on! We're almost there!"

Tyrranis smiled lightly as Crossroads began pulling at him, and began
moving again. "Alright Cross, I am coming. I just wanted to make sure
Lora would come back by later." He kept the pace he had before,
letting Cross pull all she wanted at his arm.

Crossroads nodded tugged him along for most of the remaining walk,
occasionally turning back to flash a smile at Tyrranis. She let go as
soon as her house come into sight, pausing to get a good look at it;
taking it in. It hadn't really changed at all. "We made it. We finally
made it home, Tyr!"

Tyrranis nodded in agreement with Crossroads. "Come, it will be nice
to finally sit down and relax." Tyrranis pushed inside the door and
made his way to the living room, still keeping an eye out just in case
Kyuubey had found his way inside the home.

Even if the stupid cat had found a way into her house, Crossroads
wouldn't have cared at this moment. She followed Tyrranis inside,
immediately going to one of the couches and dropping into the
cushions. She let out a contented sigh as she wrapped her arms around
one of the pillows.

Tyrranis settles on a couch himself, and relaxes into the cushions. A
sigh escapes him before he finds himself smiling and looking around at
the familiar work done to the walls and ceiling. "It is good to be
home."

"Mmhm!" is the only reply Crossroads gave him for a moment, giving
herself a second to rest her head against the pillow before sitting up
and looking at him. "So what are we going to talk about when Lora gets
here?"

Tyrranis hummed for a moment, pulling together his thoughts before he
spoke. "I have decided that, as a group, the three of us should cement
ourselves as those who guard this town from Witches and Yoma. I think
we should form a group, a cohesive one, that new wishborn can look to
and see that there is more to this than running around solo, and
potentially losing yourself. What do you think of this?"

Crossroads nodded at this idea, "It would probably be a good idea. I
don't think a lot of wishborn know exactly what they are getting into
when they make a deal with Kyuubey." Admittedly, she had been left in
the dark on some of it herself. And there were probably wishborn out
there like her self who have had no experience prior to this in
fighting.

Tyrranis said ' So, with agreement from Lora, we will form a group to
protect this town, and help newer wishborn find things out, before the
learn the hard way. With enough time and member, we might be able to
branch out to additional towns as well, but for now I think Truce is a
good enough starting point.'

Crossroads nodded slowly, but then a thought started occurring to her.
Certainly making sure newer wishborn were capable of handling the
situation they had found themselves in was a good idea but... wouldn't
more capable people mean more people to share grief seeds with? Or
even less people turning? The second she realized what she was
wondering about Crossroads pushed the thoughts from her head for a
moment as this was no way to be thinking. "Some organization might be
really good too. I mean to become more aware of our situation. We
don't know how many wishborn are out there or anything right now.
Something like this could give us an idea."

Tyrranis nodded in agreement with Crossroads. "That is a good idea. I
take it that you are in favor of the creation of a group between the
three of us?"

"Of course! Look at all we have survived and been through!" Crossroads
said, this time nodding more quickly. She pulled herself up so she is
sitting up completely, tucking her legs under her. "And you are a
great teacher too. I mean, I wouldn't have lasted very long myself
without the things you've taught me." She gave Tyrranis a small smile,
"I'm really grateful for you, Tyr."

Tyrranis smiled again, and shook his head. "The power you possess
lends itself to your survival, provided you do not get too attached to
what is happening. At some point you should try using it to see how to
perform an action, instead of what the end result of the action is."

Crossroads thought about this for a moment, trying to think of some
things she could do with this suggestion. Eventually though, after
cycling through a few of these thoughts a blush crept across her
cheeks. "Yeah... That seems like something I can try doing a bit more"
She answered quickly, hoping that the fast response would help in
getting her mind off of it would keep her face from turning any
redder.

Lorastine walked up to the door to where she remembered Crossroads'
house was and knocked lightly wondering if they were still here.
.
Tyrranis stood as he heard the door being knocked at, and called out.
"I will be right there!" With a short nod to Crossroads, he moved
through the hallway to the door and opened it before giving Lorastine
a short nod. "It is good to see you Lora, come in."

Crossroads continued sitting on the couch since it looked as though
Tyrranis was already up onto his feet and headed towards the door.
Once she hears him greet Lorastine she gets to her feet, but doesn't
go any further.

Lorastine walked into the room and smiles slightly giving Tyrranis and
Crossroads a nod. She was unusually quiet, not really wanting to crack
under her emotions at the moment and her situation. The Hylian just
stood there in the room, not exactly sure what to say.

Tyrranis followed behind Lorastine, and looked her over. "You can sit
down if you want. There is a free chair." He moved to his couch
regardless of what she did, and rests back down on it, his mind
already turned to how to best ask her about the group.

Crossroads welcomed Lorastine with a smile, noting the girls silence
but not making anything of it "Hi Lora!" She glanced between the
hylian and the gigantos, "Why don't I grab us some drinks? Any
preferences?"

Lorastine took a seat down on one of the comfortable looking couch and
looked up at Cross's question and lightly shook her head. "I'm fine...
actually maybe a water."

Tyrranis shook his head to Crossroads. "No preference here. Thank you
though." He turned his attention back to Lorastine, and gazes at her
for a while before speaking again. "Did you not find what you were
hoping to upon returning?"

The second Tyrranis says he didn't have any preferences Crossroads
nodded, then ran into the kitchen to grab drinks for them. A moment
later she returned with a glass of water and a couple cans of soda
tucked under her arm for herself and Tyr. Crossroads set the glass
down upon the coffee table in front of Lora. Her brows knitted in
wondering if something was wrong. Smile as she had, Lorastine didn't
seem her normal self.

Lorastine looked down at her glass silent for a second before
answering Tyrranis' question. "I guess you could say that." she
replied quietly as she stared at the clear water. "I.. um... lost my
home. The Inn doesn't exist anymore..." she said her voice wavering
for a moment.

Tyrranis looked at Lorastine for a while before cracking open his soda
and drinking from it. A few heavy gulps later, he set the can down and
addressed Lorastine. "Losing a home is just another step in life. A
depressing one, but one that many end up taking. You still have a home
in Truce however, the one that you are sitting in now."

"That’s right." Crossroads said in agreement, her own soda remaining
unopened for the time being. "You can stay here if you would like to,
Lora. This is just as much your home as it is Tyr's and mine."

Lorastine looked up with wide eyes at Crossroads proposal. "Are you
sure? I promise I won't get in the way or anything. You wont even know
I'm here." A smile grew on her face as she stood up and physically
thanked Cross and Tyrranis.

Tyrranis nodded with Lorastine. "The guest room is free, though I will
have to move my weapons from there. It will not take long. Before
that, can we discuss something with you?"

With a smile Crossroads took a place on the couch next to Tyrranis,
opening her drink. "You could always move some into my room if you
need." She said to him quietly, taking a small sip of her drink.

Lorastine finally took a sip of her water with a smile on her face. A
geninue smile this time, as she was really happy. She didn't want to
bring up the topic of her boss, it was too hard for her to deal with
at the moment.

Tyrranis waited for Lorastine to drink some water before he began his
proposal. "Lora, I and Crossroads have decided that we are going to
start a group dedicated to protecting Truce from Witch and Yoma
attacks. In addition we will attempt to help new wishborn find their
way and learn what they need to do to survive. Are you willing to join
us?"

Crossroads nodded, "Offering them training and guiding them might help
to slow the process that leads to them becoming witches and yoma.
Besides that, we can help them realize just what kind of situation
they've found themselves in. I don't know about you guys, but there
were some details I wasn't aware of when I made the deal with Kyuubey.
It could be the same for others too."

Lorastine looked over at the two and nodded. "I'd love to help you guys out."

After a short period of small talk, Tyrranis cleaned his weapons off
the bed in the guest room, and the lights inside Crossroad's house go
out.
