find a way to reverse the process but it was of no use.  He would have given up looking for you as well, but his need to meet you was too great, so we began work on the portal that would locate you.”
    Simone tried to take all of this in.  “I thought he was always like that,” she said numbly.  “He said he was an outsider to his own people.”
    “Not because of his looks,” Pevas said sadly.  “He always felt out of place, that is why he was so desperate to find a destined mate who truly understood him.  He feared he would spend the rest of his life alone.”
    “So he came to Earth and ended up becoming disfigured,” Simone said bleakly.  Guilt rose up to choke her throat.  “It’s my fault he’s like he is.  Why didn’t he tell me?”
    “He doesn’t care about what happened to him.  All that matters was he got the chance to find you.”
    “I care though!” Simone yelled.  Her eyes misted up with tears.  “He ruined himself for me!  How the hell can I live with myself after this?”
    “All is not lost,” Pevas said quickly.  “We did not reveal this knowledge simply to torment you.  There was a more noble purpose.”
    “What are you talking about?”
    “The Great Spirits that talked to Storm Kar also whisper to us,” the triad went on. 
    “We received a vision telling us that Storm Kar’s salvation would come from the woman he loves.  There is a way to reverse the terrible damage inflicted by the Doom Storm.”
    Simone’s eyes widened with hope.  “There is, how?”
    “To the north of the Mystic Folk territory is the Mammoth Tusk Mountain,” Pevas said. 
     
    “Within it stands a shrine and within the shrine is the Plant of All-Healing.  By simply touching it allows someone think of anyone who is in need to cure them of their malady.  By wishing Storm Kar to be normal again, you could restore his face.”
    “Well that’s great,” Simone said eagerly.  “Let’s go, get this plant.”
    “It is not as simple as that,” Pevas replied.  “To touch the Plant means instant death.  It will turn anyone who dares into ashes.”
    “Then you’re saying there is no hope,” Simone replied.  “Storm Kar will be like that for the rest of his life, and it’s my fault.”
    “The Great Spirits told us this might not happen,” Pevas said.  “We do not know how but they hinted there was a chance you could survive, though we are not sure how it is possible.  We only know that you could also die if we are wrong.”
    “I’ve got to try it,” Simone said firmly.  “I owe Storm Kar that much.”
     
    “You owe me nothing!” Storm Kar’s deep voice suddenly rang out across the chamber.
    Simone spun round to find him standing in the doorway, his red eyes blazing with fury.  He marched towards them and both Pevas and Simone recoiled.
    “What are you doing telling her about the Plant?” Storm Kar snapped at the birdmen. 
    “You know its certain death to touch it!”
    “Forgive us, but we only want you to both be happy,” Pevas said meekly.  “The Great Spirits called to us, we had to pass on what they say.  We just want to help.”
    “We don’t need your help or that of the Great Spirits!” Storm Kar retorted.  “Do not interfere!”
    “Don’t yell at Pevas!” Simone butted in, regaining her confidence again.  “They’re right, if there’s a chance to heal you, we’ve got to try it.”
    “Not if it means you die!” Storm Kar snapped.  “If you die then all of this would be for nothing, and I couldn’t bear that.”
    “But it’s my fault that you became scarred!” she protested.  “I can’t bear the thought that there is no way to reverse that.  This is all my fault!”
    Storm Kar held her tightly in his arms.  “None of this is your fault.  I made the choice to go to Earth.  I understood the risks.  It was worth it to have you by my side.  Even if you decide to go back to your world, our time together was worth every
