I sniff around and I do not smell Hope.
"Your angel wh'ore is right, Kith. Hope has left. I could still fight Calithin here. Someone must suffer. It may as well be him."
I see that Celeste is on the ground, so I kick her in the ribs.
"How does it feel Calithin, that your mother has been sleeping with your loser half brother! Ha ha ha!!!"

"Why he was the leader of the Green Party. The very famous Toivo Koivisto. But he is very old now and not as politically active as he was when he was younger. You do remind me a lot of him though..."
I examine the sad youth and feel very unsettled. Why is he so sad?
"Why are you so sad? You should be happy to be so young and passionate. The future is yours, Forrest."

I rush over and push Genovia away from Celeste.
"Leave her alone Genovia, don't you cause enough trouble?"
++++++++++
I crouch down by Celeste and take her into my arms.
"Please do not cry, everything will be fine. I will not fight Calithin. I have no need to. Hope is gone and I must now go after her...so please don't cry."
I hold her tightly and kiss her cheek.
+++++++++

I half smile, looking down.
"Thank you, Swan, I wish that were true. I'm afraid that my days are numbered."
I look at her.
"You said his name is Toivo? I've heard of this man. He inspired me to be what I am today, a father figure, if you will."

"If you won't fight Calithin, I sure the hell will!!"
I glare at Kith holding Celeste like that.
"You all make me want to vomit. You are all weak, and you most of all Calithin. The strong do not need love. We live by the force of our will and our desire for strength!!"

Both of the Garou return the gesture. "Hum," grunts Sabin, "She's like Lunar." He stands up, offering his hand, "We're Garou babe, a hand shake'll do. Save the Lukoi stuff for Lunar."
Lunar chuckles, "Sabin is a little blunt. He's my second. Zeen his Sholl, our head enforcer. As for what's next, we're done with the introcutions. Come on, I'll show you the gathering place we'd piece together. It's back in the woods."
He turns, leaving the building. Sabin and Zeen wave goodbye, apparently accepting Bengal without much display.
"Their a little different," says Lunar once their outside, "The Garou was very close to being humans these days. Alot of the Lukoi Laws don't apply to them."
Lunar leads them into the woods. Not the woods on the concert side, but the thick evergreen wood on the south side of the town.
"Our gathering place is weak as they go, but since it's just us it does not need to be strong. The munin like it, that's enough for me."

"Yes, he is astonishing. He is the only man I have ever loved. You see, I tend to be cold hearted and aloof. I have lived most of my life alone on the river Tounela. But alas he is very old now, and I am, as I will always be, young with immortality."
I look to the ground as I consider such things.
"But I am glad that someone has taken the torch and is continueing his works. May I ask why your days are numbered?"

She looks up to him and forces a smile. Genovia had broken a few of her ribs but she would mend in time. She looked at Kith and caught him in a kiss. She wanted one kiss before she knew he had to go.
"Kith I went to Keitoleinen to beg for your life. I found out you were here and i had to come. I am sorry to be a burden. You seem to always have to save me from her. I love you dear sweet Kith. Thank you for not attacking my son. I know you would not do anything that would hurt me. It seems i am worse of then i thought. Kith I love you and i know you will triumph and you will show them all your true worth. Mighty Kith Keitoleinen. But beware the cogs that help you run the clock. For some are worn and may turn the opposite way."
She then passed out from the internal injuries she had sustained. She had tried to warn him without coming right out and saying it infront of the b'itch.

"Yes, I have rarely seen a man as passionate as Toivo, except for maybe say, Bassarov...
I say my days are numbered because I am cursed. The most terrible part is that I have brought it upon myself."
Memories of us being together flood into my head, and I try to block them out. The only thing I can think of now is to just get out of here, but something beckons me to stay.

I hold Celeste in my arms and watch as Genovia taunts Calithin into fighting her.
"This is foolish Genovia..."
+++++++
I feel powerless and confused. We were supposed to capture Hope, now it seems everything is spinning out of control.
+++++++++
I watch as the scene unfolds before me.

I watched the scene with Rodthingy, Anutsaka, Simona, and Antero from afar. I walk in front of Antero as he walks down the street with his arm around her waist.
"What kind of anarchist chooses the destiny for another?"

"My friend Alkonost may be able to reverse that curse. He can grant wishes, or at least thats what the legends say. But do tell me about this curse that was placed upon you..."
I take a seat on a mossy rock to listen to his story.

"I don't think it is your f-ucking business, Sasha. We are all free, as long as I am the center of attention. I am not about to let someone else still the show. This is all about me."
I let go of Simona and walk toward Sasha. He has it coming, he steps out of line too often. He has to re-learn how to stay out of my way.

I take a deep breath, trying to stifle the feelings of anxiety.
"I fell in love with somebody once, and I thought that nothing could ever seperate us. We were so counterposed though, I should have seen that we were star crossed from the start, but I just didn't listen... Our paths inevitably turned away from one another, and I was left alone. I went to a powerful man whom I thought could help me, but he instead cursed me."
My voice begins to tremble.
"I can never love again..."

Finally everything that I suspected all along has been confirmed. "I knew it was you, Toivo. Do you think that I can so easily forget the face of the one I love? I am immortal, it is true that years pass like days, smearing into one another and fading from memory. But some memories remain vivid and alive. I wondered how it happened, and why you did not tell me. But now I see."
I look at him sadly.
"So what can we do?"
