( *flail* It's okay. T-T *huggles* I've missed youuuu. I made a vid for our anni btw! ;D It's short, but still. ^^; )

*Mowgli smiles brightly, more tears showing in his eyes* ARIEL!!

*Nehelenia growls and looks at KOZ Ariel* I don't care! Release me! I let the girl go! It's not MY fault they weren't fast enough!

[Ariel|Jessi|Kadaj|Kairi|Aiden]

( DX I missed you too. T.T And I saw! I won't be able to watch till I'm home though. DX)

Ariel narrowed her eyes. "You put. Her in that position though," she growled before calming down. "No matter though," she said coolly before opening her hand, The dust of Rapunzels heart collecting there, glowing and turning back into a beating heart. Ariel sang in Elvish, the heart floating down and sinking into Rapunzels chest, bringing her back to life.

Howl smiled brighter, tears falling down his cheeks at the sight of the healthy glow returning to Rapunzel.

[So/Ri/Tai/Tia/Kari/Mason/Evey]

( T-T Aww... That sucks. >.< Well, I can't wait til you can see it! *huggles* )

*Rapunzel gasps her first breath; she coughs a bit and immediately places her hand on her heart; she looks around, slightly confused and worried* Wh-what... What happened?? *her eyes widen, seeing everyone* What's going on??

[Ariel|Jessi|Kadaj|Kairi|Aiden]

Howl smiled at Rapunzel. "You're safe,"

Ariel smiled at Rapunzel from behind Howl, and then turned to Nehelenia with narrowed eyes. "Now . . . what to do with you . . . you've caused a lot of trouble, Madame Sorcerer,"

[So/Ri/Tai/Tia/Kari/Mason/Evey]

*Rapunzel looks at Howl and smiles* That's good to hear. ^^ Why does it look like you've been crying...?

*Mowgli's eyes tremble before he goes to Rapunzel, hugging her tightly as he cries*

*Rapunzel's eyes soften as she hugs Mowgli back, stroking his hair* Shh shh...

*Nehelenia growls* You shall do nothing! Release me!

[Ariel|Jessi|Kadaj|Kairi|Aiden]

Howl smiled and shook his head. "No reason," he said before smiling fondly as Mowgli hugged Rapunzel.

Ariel's eyes blazed. "And let you go free after what you've done? No, you must pay for the crimes you've committed," she said before pulling up a sort of portal that replayed everything that Nehelenia had put them through. "All for a child Sher Khan promised you, but could not deliver directly," she muttered. "I wonder, was it because you were too frightened and vain to go through labor, or was it because he was so repulsed by you that he convinced you to let another bear his child?"

[So/Ri/Tai/Tia/Kari/Mason/Evey]

*Rapunzel smiles, tearing up slightly, but still rather confused; she kisses Mowgli on the head before hearing Ariel; her eyes widen, partly because of Nehelenia's doings but also...* Where's Hodari?!

*Nehelenia scowls and spits in Ariel's face* You know NOTHING of what we went through! Leave me be!

[Ariel|Jessi|Kadaj|Kairi|Aiden]

Howl shook his head. "Kiki took him to a safe house, he's fine,"

Ariel's face remained impassive. "Very well. Just one little thing," she said, putting her hand on Nehelenia's forehead, a sort of gold energy seeming to seep from Nehelenia and dissapate into the air. "There, welcome to the realm of the mortals, Nehelenia. You now no longer have any magic, and will live a normal span of years. Be thankful I didn't make you look your age," Ariel said grimly before muttering something in Elvish, an elvish rune appearing on Nehelenia's forehead and then disapearing. "I also suggest you keep a hundred mile radius away from any tigers or cats of any kind," Ariel smiled a bit ruefully. "You wanted the child of a tiger - well, you'll get one if you're not careful. You now have an extremely powerful scent that only male cats can detect. I'll give you a guess as to what that scent will do to them,"

[So/Ri/Tai/Tia/Kari/Mason/Evey]

*Rapunzel exhales and bites her lip* A-alright...

*Mowgli's eyes widen at Ariel and what she's done* _{Jesturma must not be good in bed or something the way she's acting...} o__e

*Nehelenia's eyes widen as she stares at Ariel* You...you're ruthless!

[Ariel|Jessi|Kadaj|Kairi|Aiden]

Howl smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

Ariel continued to give Nehelenia that blank look, but then smiled brightly. "Nope! Just wanted to give you a good scare," she looked Nehelenia in the eye. "See how much you like it," Ariel shook her head. "No, you're punishment is to live out your life completely and utterly normal, no magic, no immortality, that way you can't cause trouble," Ariel then looked Nehelenia in the eye. "Also, I made sure everything was in order with your reprodocutive systems. If you still desperately want a child, you can have one of your own without danger of miscarriage or birth defects. You can have on safely, and the right way, if you so desperately want a child," Ariel smiled. "And you won't be getting sexually assaulted by cats," she said before exhaling. "However, as a precaution, you won't be able to get within a hundred miles of Rapunzel or Hodari, or anyone within their family sphere." Ariel looked Nehelenia in the eye. "I'm giving you a chance at a good life, maybe even redemption for your crimes, but I can't have you able to hurt my friends,"

[So/Ri/Tai/Tia/Kari/Mason/Evey]

*Rapunzel smiles and hugs Howl tightly, while also hugging Mowgli* I felt like I was gone forever... I don't know why.. It was like...a bad dream I couldn't wake up from...

*Nehelenia's eyes tremble as she looks away* No... Just...kill me..!

*Rapunzel starts* No! Don't...!! Please... I...I have...an idea...

[Ariel|Jessi|Kadaj|Kairi|Aiden]

Howl hugged her back just as tightly, holding back tears as he smiled a bit. "Then let it stay as only that: a bad dream that is no more,"

Ariel looked at Nehelenia grimly. "I won't be an executioner," she said firmly before looking at Rapunzel and nodding. "Go ahead Punz,"

[So/Ri/Tai/Tia/Kari/Mason/Evey]

*Rapunzel smiles at Howl and touches his cheek, rubbing her thumb across it; her eyes soften as she can see his eyes look strained and glassy* Howl...it's okay to cry you know... *she turns to Ariel and bites her lip* Well...um...h-how about...turning her back to a child...?

*Mowgli blinks* Huh??

[Ariel|Jessi|Kadaj|Kairi|Aiden]

Howl smiled. "I know . . ."

Ariel blinked and tilted her head. "Do you mean even her mind? Back before she met Sher Khan?"

[So/Ri/Tai/Tia/Kari/Mason/Evey]

*Rapunzel smiles and kisses Howl on the cheek before she nods to Ariel* Yes. I'll...take care of her. She can be around Hodari. And maybe...have a better life growing up.
