Blood Shadow lifted his head and attempted to speak, "Hawkfrost-" As soon as he let air slip from his mouth a cough irritated his throat, and he only JUST managed to get the whole name out. His head fell back to the ground weakly. He wasn't in the war zone. Hawkfrost was worthy.. He had to pass "It" on before he died. Please Hawkfrost please... He begged in his mind, Get down here... Before it's too late.. Blood spewed out of his mouth, and he felt his life slipping away. He must hurry!

Hawkfrost looked around in surprise. Cheza had disappeared. He shrugged and ran down to Blood Shadow, hovering anxiously. He blinked, and then Cheza was there. "Hello," she said in a musical voice. She seemed much happier. Then, he noticed she was pretty again. "Yep." She said happily. "....I died, but now I'm pretty." Her tail wagged slightly. Then she bounded down to Blood Shadow. "You aren't going to die...because I'm not quite real!" Her laugh tinkled around the trees. "I have spirit magic...Oh, no need to look so alarmed. I was heading to the mystical cave." She touched her nose to his, and for a second a spark of lightning seemed to pass between them. Then, with a "I'll be back soon," Cheza was gone, with an outline of her sitting next to Blood Shadow.

Blood shadow ignored the other happenings. He slipped off his rings.. Only a few weak yellow sparks flew off his paws, then stopped. He semi-forcefully grabbed Hawkfrost's front paws and slipped the rings over them. They glowed bright yellow momentarily, then shrunk to fit. "Hawkfrost.." Blood shadow said, clearly struggling to speak. "I have passed on my power.... Use them well..." Then he coughed sharply, and his head fell limply. He wasn't breathing and his eyes were dull. Suddenly hundreds of yellow sparks flew from his paws and scattered around him. They stopped as suddenly as they started, and all that was left of where Blood Shadow was a dark, burnt patch of earth.

Cheza's outline stood up and said in a musical voice, "I am your protector. Hawkfrost, use the power well... else you might not use it again. I'm off to Blood Shadow. Until my living part dies- I'm her humble side, which is the reason I'm so thin-" she laughed, "I'm stuck an outline. Be wise. Blood Shadow will watch you too." Cheza's humble side padded into the thick trees. "He's not gone forever, Hawkfrost. Remember that." the voice echoed in his head. Hawkfrost stood up, dazed, and looked at where Blood Shadow had been. "Life sucks, and then you die. Yeah, I should be so lucky," Hawkfrost sighed as he walked away, tail drooping.
