Kimon was in intensive care; her mentor was sitting by his side. He never left his side. When nightshade was young kimon was his mentor, so there was no wonder that they had friendly relationship. Kimon was a good friend of clarity’s, such a good friend that whenever he got hurt before she thought some of it was her fault. Now more then ever, the raven who attacker him was one of her own kind. A black blood raven. She felt miserable, she kimon, and kimons sister spirit were the only ones who knew of her origin. Of course topaz knew as will but she found out by mistake. She felt sick to the stomach. She hated the sight that kimon was at. She opened her eyes to stair at the cherry colored sky. Her thoughts drifted to her mother. Her thoughts drifted to why she let her go? why she hated her?, and most importantly who she was? She needed to know the answers of these questions so much that she had a plan to find them out. She would seek out her mother or some one who knew her mother. The only way to do this would be to cross into the black blood ravens territory that was now UN heard of. Topaz told no one to set a wing in the territory, it was forbidden now, after what happened to kimon she did not want any on else have the same fate. But that would not stop clarity, she needed to know her past, she heard stories from spirit what happened the day she hatched but she had to know from her mother. She stared at the sky a little longer, she had to think of a plan. She knew she was going to leave soon, maybe today. Finally closing her eys she let out a sigh. She layed there with her eyes closed for some time. So long that at one point she was more then sure the wind speaked to her.</p><p></p><p>“ cla……clarityyyyyyyy……go..oo……go find …………..heee…r……go find yoooooooo….ur mother……..go now……..secrets need ………to……….beeeeeeee…….told……..go……..now………..beeeeeefore…….y..your……fr..friends…..perish”</p><p></p><p>she opened her eyes, this could not be happening. She talked to the wind many times but the wind never spoke back. She felt her legs tremble when she recalled what torch said before. She had wind listening. A power that allowed her to listen to words across the wind. The thought of torch made her turn around and fly off. She had to tell him her plans. She ahd to tell him were she was going. She spotted him by the warriors tree.</p><p></p><p>“torch, torch. I need to tell you something”</p><p></p><p>“what is it clarity?”</p><p></p><p>“torch I need to figure something out. I need to go now. I do not know when I will be back but I need to go”</p><p></p><p>“clarity I can’t allow this. You are going to go in black blood raven territories. I am at higher rank then you know. When I say you cant then you can not”</p><p></p><p>“please torch you must under stand I need to go”</p><p></p><p>“ if you go I must tell someone about your leave”</p><p></p><p>“then tell, but not tell I am some time away”</p><p></p><p>“ if you go they will exile you”</p><p></p><p>“ ive been exiled once before I can handle it”</p><p></p><p>he did not say anything more he just stared at her and pressed his beak against her face. He gave her a quick rub then stared into her eyes.</p><p></p><p>“if I can not stop you then I bid you farewell. Go now before I change my mind”</p><p></p><p>she gave a slight bow to him. she let out her wings and took off. When she was a distance away she tunred around and stared down. she could still see torch. He was staring at her. his eyes blurry with pain. She knew why, this may be the last time he ever be able to see her again. Even if she came out alive she may not be able to come back. She gave a great big caw and turned and flew back to her destination.</p><p></p><p>Torch heard the caw. He would miss her caw, he would miss her. he heard a rustle behind him. he saw fox walk out of the hollow with amyth right behind him. he stared at the sky for a little longer, he saw a black shadow coming right back to him. was it clarity. Did she decide against going. If she did then she made a great decision. Clarity came closer, and closer. So close that he could tell that it was not clarity but her mentor nightshade. Helanded gracefully right beside him.</p><p></p><p>“nightshade what are you doing here?”</p><p></p><p>“I have not been training clarity a lot lately. I am getting my sword so we can spar today”</p><p></p><p>“um shouldn’t you give her some grieving time. I mean she gave you some time”</p><p></p><p>“yes I know but this will get her head of kimono, if she is busy then she will stop remembering about him that way”</p><p></p><p>“yes will you see she went out for a quick fly”</p><p></p><p>“and you did not stop her. you heard topaz she doesn’t want anyone to go out flying until they learn more about. And anyways I will wait for her”</p><p></p><p>“yes but she may not be back for another hour or so”</p><p></p><p>“then I will wait for that long”</p><p></p><p>“you could or you know you could forget about her”</p><p></p><p>he was staring at him for some time. His beaty dark blue eyes staring at him. he was searching in him for something. He was making torch feel unfaithful. He was lying to the legendary warrior.</p><p></p><p>“you the best friend of clarity will never forget about her. you know something. She told you something that she did not whant any one else to know.
